Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing technology, and more specifically to a tea drying machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the tea processing industry, drying is a crucial step in tea production, directly affecting the final quality and taste of the tea. Traditional methods of drying tea rely heavily on manual stirring or the use of simple tea-frying machinery. While these methods can meet production needs to some extent, they have many shortcomings.

[0003] First, traditional tea-frying methods often fail to ensure even heating of the tea leaves. Because the tea leaves need to be constantly turned during the frying process to ensure even heating, but manual frying is not only labor-intensive, but also makes it difficult to precisely control the evenness and frequency of frying. This results in uneven heating of the tea leaves during the frying process. Some tea leaves may become burnt due to over-frying, while others may not dry completely due to insufficient heating.

[0004] Secondly, traditional tea-frying methods are relatively inefficient at drying tea. Due to the limited heat exchange efficiency between the heat source and the tea leaves, and the difficulty in precisely controlling the temperature during the frying process, the moisture in the tea leaves evaporates slowly, requiring a longer frying time to achieve the desired drying effect. This not only increases production costs but also extends the tea processing cycle.

[0005] In addition, traditional tea-frying methods also present difficulties in handling tea dust and impurities; during the frying process, the edges of the tea leaves and tender stems are easily broken, producing tea dust. If this tea dust is not cleaned up in time, it will affect the quality of the tea.

[0006] Therefore, how to provide a tea drying machine that can achieve uniform heating of tea leaves, improve drying efficiency, separate tea dust, and effectively improve tea quality is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of this, the present invention provides a tea drying machine, which aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] A tea drying machine, comprising:

[0010] The outer cylinder is mounted on the frame and is a cylindrical structure with openings at both ends, and a discharge port is provided on its bottom wall.

[0011] A drum screen, wherein the drum screen is a cylindrical structure with openings at both ends and coaxially arranged inside the outer cylinder, and both ends of the drum screen extend to the outside of the outer cylinder; the drum screen is rotatably connected to the inside of the outer cylinder by a drive assembly, and a cavity is formed between its outer side wall and the inner side wall of the outer cylinder; multiple heat-conducting ribs are arranged along the axial direction on the inner wall of the drum screen, and multiple guide vanes extending inward are fixed at one end of the drum screen.

[0012] A hot air assembly is located outside the outer cylinder, and its hot air outlet end is connected to the cavity.

[0013] Through the above technical solution, the present invention provides a tea drying machine. The part of the drum screen located inside the outer cylinder has mesh holes. The arrangement of the drum screen and the outer cylinder can effectively separate tea leaves and tea dust during the rotation of the drum screen. The setting of the dust discharge port facilitates the cleaning of tea dust. Through the joint cooperation of the hot air component and the heat-conducting ribs inside the drum screen, the tea leaves can be heated evenly inside the drum screen, thereby improving work efficiency and tea quality.

[0014] Preferably, the above-mentioned tea drying machine further includes an auxiliary stirring assembly, which includes a first drive motor, a rotating shaft, and stirring rods. The first drive motor is mounted on the frame and located at the end of the drum screen away from the guide vane. One end of the rotating shaft is connected to the power output shaft of the first drive motor via a coupling, and the other end extends into the drum screen. Multiple stirring rods are fixed to the outer wall of the rotating shaft. The addition of the stirring assembly further enhances the stirring effect and improves the stirring efficiency and effectiveness.

[0015] Preferably, in the above-mentioned tea drying machine, a bushing rotating seat is rotatably connected to one end of the rotating shaft located inside the drum screen, and a connecting rod is fixed between the outer wall of the bushing rotating seat and the inner wall of the drum screen. This ensures the stability of the rotating shaft, and the connecting rod does not interfere with the guide leaf ruler, thus not affecting the entry and exit of tea leaves.

[0016] Preferably, in the above-mentioned tea drying machine, the rotating shaft is fixed with multiple fan blades on the side wall outside the drum screen. When the rotating shaft rotates, it drives the fan blades to rotate, increasing the airflow inside the drum screen and helping to distribute the hot air evenly. It is necessary to ensure that the force of the wind generated by the rotating fan blades is not strong enough to blow the tea leaves out.

[0017] Preferably, in the above-mentioned tea drying machine, the hot air assembly includes a hot air furnace, an air inlet pipe, and an air volume regulator. The hot air furnace is located outside the outer cylinder, the inlet end of the air inlet pipe is connected to the outlet end of the hot air furnace, and the outlet end of the air inlet pipe passes through the outer cylinder and extends into the outer cylinder to communicate with the cavity. The air volume regulator is installed on the air inlet pipe. This provides effective hot air to the drum screen, accelerating the frying efficiency. Simultaneously, the air volume regulator allows for adjustment of the air volume to meet the hot air requirements at different stages.

[0018] Preferably, the above-mentioned tea drying machine further includes a dehumidification component, which includes a dehumidification fan and a heat exchange box. The dehumidification fan is installed on the top wall of the outer cylinder, and its inlet end extends into the outer cylinder and communicates with the cavity. The heat exchange box is located on the outside of the outer cylinder, and its inlet end is connected to the outlet end of the dehumidification fan through a connecting pipe. Its outlet end is connected to the hot air furnace through a connecting pipe. The dehumidification fan can discharge the moisture in the drum screen, improving the quality of the tea. At the same time, the heat exchange box realizes the recovery of high-temperature moisture and air preheating, improving energy utilization efficiency.

[0019] Preferably, in the above-mentioned tea drying machine, a cover plate is hinged to the discharge port. The opening and closing of the cover plate can be controlled as needed to collect and discharge the tea dust.

[0020] Preferably, in the above-mentioned tea drying machine, a vibration component is installed on the bottom wall of the outer cylinder at the end furthest from the discharge port. The vibration component further enables the rapid discharge of tea dust from the inner wall of the outer cylinder.

[0021] Preferably, in the above-mentioned tea drying machine, a tea dust collection box is arranged below the outer cylinder, and the inlet end of the tea dust collection box corresponds to the outlet.

[0022] Preferably, in the above-mentioned tea drying machine, the drive assembly includes a second drive motor, drive rollers, a transmission shaft, and driven rollers. The second drive motor is mounted on the frame and located at the end of the drum screen away from the guide vane. Two drive rollers are fixed to the frame and are arranged on the same side at both ends of the drum screen. One end of the transmission shaft is connected to the power output shaft of the second drive motor via a coupling, and the other end passes through the two drive rollers in sequence. Two driven rollers are also arranged on the same side at both ends of the drum screen away from the drive rollers. The result is simple and stable, enabling the rotation of the drum screen.

[0023] Preferably, in the above-mentioned tea drying machine, the open end of the outer cylinder 1 has an annular retaining ring extending towards its central axis. There is no interference between the annular retaining ring and the outer wall of the drum screen, that is, it will not affect the rotation of the drum screen. One end of the transmission shaft is connected to the power output shaft of the second drive motor through a coupling, and the other end passes through the drive roller and the annular retaining ring in sequence, and extends into the cavity, and extends out of the annular retaining ring and the drive roller at the other end of the outer cylinder.

[0024] Preferably, in the above-mentioned tea drying machine, the drive assembly further includes positioning rollers. The number of positioning rollers is four, arranged symmetrically in pairs below the drum screen and abutting against the bottom of the drum screen. This further enhances the stability of the drum screen's rotation and effectively prevents the drum screen from shifting during rotation.

[0025] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the present invention discloses a tea drying machine, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] 1. The drum screen of this utility model can effectively separate tea leaves from tea dust. Through the rotation of the drum screen and the heat-conducting ribs on the inner wall, the tea leaves tumble continuously inside the drum screen and come into full contact with the hot air provided by the hot air component, so as to achieve rapid and uniform drying of the tea leaves. The air volume regulator in the hot air component can adjust the hot air volume according to the type of tea leaves and the drying requirements, which improves the adaptability and flexibility of the equipment.

[0027] 2. By setting up an auxiliary stirring component, the first drive motor drives the rotating shaft and stirring rod to rotate, which further promotes the tumbling and turning of tea leaves in the drum screen, enhances the drying effect, and avoids local overheating or scorching of the tea leaves.

[0028] 3. This utility model uses a dehumidifying fan to remove the moisture generated during the drying process, and recovers some of the heat energy through a heat exchange box, which is then returned to the hot air furnace for reuse, thereby improving energy utilization efficiency and reducing energy consumption.

[0029] 4. This utility model integrates multiple functions such as frying, stirring, dehumidification, and heat recovery, which greatly improves the efficiency and quality of tea frying and reduces labor costs and labor intensity. Attached Figure Description
