Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing technology, specifically to a tea withering device for tea processing. Background Technology
[0002] Withering is a crucial step in the processing of black tea. Freshly picked leaves are spread out in a certain thickness and dried in the sun to reduce their moisture content and promote complex chemical changes.
[0003] According to Chinese Patent Publication No. CN209436179U, a tea withering device for tea processing is disclosed, including a frame, a withering box at the top of the frame, a conveying mechanism with both ends exposed outside the withering box, a heating mechanism at the top of the withering box, and a blower mechanism at the bottom of the withering box that introduces air into the withering box. In use, tea leaves are conveyed into the withering box via the conveying mechanism. Once the tea leaves are completely inside the withering box, the motor is turned off, the conveying mechanism stops conveying, and the moisture in the tea leaves is removed by the combined action of the blower mechanism and the heating mechanism, thus withering the tea leaves. After processing, the motor is restarted to convey the tea leaves out of the withering box. This utility model provides a tea withering device with high efficiency and good withering effect, and allows for convenient removal of withered tea leaves from the withering box. In use, during withering, tea leaves (fresh tea leaves) of a standard thickness should be evenly spread and thinned to a suitable thickness. However, this process typically involves using hand tools to level the tea leaves, which is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and physically demanding. It also puts significant stress on the workers' spines and can easily cause wear and tear on their shoulder joints, negatively impacting their health. Therefore, this invention proposes a tea withering device for tea processing to address these problems. Utility Model Content
