TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to tea processing technical field, especially indoor drying green device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Drying green is to spread fresh leaves or fresh leaves after rolling and twisting according to certain thickness under the sun, utilize the heat energy of sunlight and blow wilting to make the water in the leaf moderate evaporation, and the internal substance moderate transformation, make tea have aroma. But the drying green in prior art still has defects: one is that the traditional drying green process depends on natural light, is greatly influenced by climate, and the quality of tea is largely dependent on sunlight, two is that most drying green devices also adopt natural light irradiation, and indoor environment cannot be used, leading to unable to work in rainy weather, affecting efficiency. And the above drying green method has high demand for manual configuration, needs manual tea spreading and manual auxiliary equipment for tea stirring, increases labor cost, therefore, an automatic drying green device that can simulate natural light is urgently needed. SUMMARY
[0003] The utility model provides a kind of automatic drying green device according to the deficiencies in prior art, it can be used indoors, and tea is made into product with strong flavor by the way of automatically turning over tea and drying green lamp changing light.

[0008] Different seasons of spring tea, summer tea and other teas receive different light, which will affect the content of aromatic substances formed inside, and drying green with corresponding light according to different seasons is beneficial to improve the aroma quality of raw tea.
[0009] Drying green lamp is variable color wall lamp, can emit multiple light to change season to make tea with stronger flavor. The turning mechanism can be loaded with tea and rotate uniformly in the cavity, and the drying green lamp emits light of the same wavelength synchronously to dry tea. Since the drying green lamp is arranged along the length direction of the turning mechanism, the turning mechanism is uniformly distributed with irradiation light. Through this design, the drying green process can be completed indoors, and the dependence on natural light is eliminated. The automatic drying green device solves the problem of manual tea frying.
[0010] Preferably, the container cavity is provided with a lamp holder, and the sunning lamp is detachably installed in the lamp holder.

[0027] The visual window enables an operator to conveniently observe the working state of the drum and the drying lamp and the drying state of the tea in the cabinet, so as to accurately control the quality of the tea.
[0028] Specific working principle is as follows: after the drum is filled with tea, the drum is clamped on the output end of the driving assembly, the door plate is closed, and the drying lamp, the driving assembly and the working state of the above two are started through the control panel, so that the drying rate is adjusted according to the actual situation, and the drying device is started or stopped. The driving assembly drives the drum and the stirring roller to rotate at different speeds, the stirring roller stirs the tea when the drum rotates, so that the tea is continuously scattered to completely receive light irradiation, and the evaporated moisture is discharged by the exhaust mechanism.
[0029] The indoor drying device has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0030] The indoor drying device has the following beneficial effects: the drying lamp can be disassembled, replaced and adjusted in color, different light colors are used to cope with different tea varieties or seasons, so that the tea maintains a strong aroma. When the drum rotates at a constant speed in the cavity, the drying lamp uniformly irradiates from both sides of the drum, so that the tea in the drum is fully heated, the steam generated during the process is carried out by the airflow generated by the turned tea, and then discharged through the exhaust hole on one side. The drying device automatically turns the tea through the turning mechanism, cooperates with the drying lamp to achieve uniform drying and reduce the labor intensity, and the drying lamp enables the drying device to still play a role when there is no natural light or the natural light is poor, ensures the continuous drying of the tea, avoids the tea missing the construction period and thus the quality of the tea being reduced, and causes loss.
