Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tea processing technology and relates to a fixation device for new tea production. Background Technology

[0002] Tea fixation is a tea-making process that involves using high temperatures to destroy and deactivate the oxidase activity in fresh tea leaves, inhibiting the enzymatic oxidation of tea polyphenols and other substances in the fresh leaves, evaporating some of the moisture in the fresh leaves, softening the tea leaves, making them easier to roll and shape, and at the same time removing the grassy smell and promoting the formation of a good aroma. It is one of the initial processing steps for green tea, yellow tea, black tea, oolong tea, etc., and fixation is a key step in the formation of the shape and quality of green tea and other teas. Fixation methods include pan-frying, steaming, baking, soaking, and radiation fixation.

[0003] The "killing green" process in tea processing refers to subjecting the harvested tea leaves to high-temperature treatment to completely stop the enzyme activity and moisture in the tea leaves, thus preventing further fermentation. This is a crucial step in producing high-quality tea, as it determines the color, aroma, taste, and overall quality of the tea.

[0004] Current tea fixing machines are prone to uneven heating when stir-frying tea leaves, resulting in incomplete fixing, unattractive color, and reduced quality.

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a fixation device for a new type of tea production. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the problems existing in the background technology, this utility model proposes a fixation device for a new type of tea production.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A fixing device for a new type of tea production includes a loading box with a cylindrical structure. A working cylinder with a cylindrical structure is installed inside the loading box. End cap assemblies are installed at both ends of the working cylinder. The working cylinder and the end cap assemblies at both ends form a working cavity. A filter cylinder is installed inside the working cylinder. A spiral plate is installed on the inner wall of the filter cylinder. The filter cylinder wall is provided with several filter holes. The filter cylinder is coaxially arranged with the working cylinder. A drying cylinder is coaxially installed inside the filter cylinder. The drying cylinder is fixedly connected to the filter cylinder through a connecting frame. The drying cylinder and the filter cylinder rotate coaxially. The drying cylinder wall is provided with several drying holes. The end cap assemblies extend out of both ends of the drying cylinder and are rotatably arranged through brackets. A drive motor is provided on the outside of the loading box. The output shaft of the drive motor is coaxially fixedly connected to either end of the drying cylinder. The other end of the drying cylinder is connected to a dryer.

[0008] Furthermore, a water collection tank is installed at the bottom of the loading box, a first through hole is opened at the bottom of the working cylinder, and a second through hole adapted to the first through hole is opened at the bottom of the loading box.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] like Figures 1-3As shown, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A fixation device for a new type of tea production includes a loading box 1 with a cylindrical structure, the bottom of which is fixed by a support base. A working cylinder 2 with a cylindrical structure is installed inside the loading box 1. End cap assemblies 3 are installed at both ends of the working cylinder 2, forming a working cavity for fixing the tea leaves. A filter cylinder 4 is installed inside the working cylinder 2, and a spiral plate 5 is installed on the inner wall of the filter cylinder 4. Tea leaves are placed inside the filter cylinder 4. The spiral plate 5 ensures that the tea leaves are evenly dispersed, improving the drying efficiency of the tea leaves.

[0020] In this embodiment, the filter cylinder 4 has several filter holes on its wall. It should be noted that the diameter of the filter holes is smaller than the outer diameter of the tea leaves to prevent the tea leaves from entering the gap between the working cylinder 2 and the filter cylinder 4 through the filter holes. When the tea leaves are dried in the filter cylinder 4, waste and wastewater are removed from the filter cylinder 4 through the filter holes, ensuring the quality of the tea leaves in the filter cylinder 4.

[0021] In this embodiment, the filter cylinder 4 is coaxially arranged with the working cylinder 2. A drying cylinder 6 is coaxially installed inside the filter cylinder 4. The drying cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the filter cylinder 4 through a connecting frame 7, and the drying cylinder 6 rotates coaxially with the filter cylinder 4. The wall of the drying cylinder 6 is provided with several drying holes. The drying cylinder 6 is externally connected to a hot air supply pump, which is existing technology, to provide hot air to the drying tube, thereby drying the tea leaves placed in the filter cylinder 4.

[0022] It should be noted that after the tea leaves are loaded into the filter cylinder 4, the drying cylinder 6 rotates coaxially with the filter cylinder 4. The hot air supply pump sends hot air into the drying cylinder 6 and evenly distributes it into the filter cylinder 4 through the drying holes. The filter cylinder 4 causes the tea leaves to swirl, and the hot air thoroughly dries the tea leaves inside the filter cylinder 4.

[0023] In this embodiment, the drying cylinder 6 has end cap assemblies 3 extending from both ends and is rotatably mounted via brackets 8. A drive motor 9 is mounted on the outside of the loading box 1. The output shaft of the drive motor 9 is coaxially fixed to either end of the drying cylinder 6, and the other end of the drying cylinder 6 is connected to a hot air supply pump. The drive motor 9 drives the drying cylinder 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the filter cartridge 4 to rotate.

[0024] In this embodiment, a water collection tank 10 is installed at the bottom of the loading box 1, a first through hole is opened at the bottom of the working cylinder 2, and a second through hole adapted to the first through hole is opened at the bottom of the loading box 1. When debris and wastewater in the filter cylinder 4 are discharged into the gap between the working cylinder 2 and the filter cylinder 4 through the filter holes of the filter cylinder 4, the debris and wastewater are discharged into the water collection tank 10 through the first through hole and the second through hole.

[0025] In this embodiment, a baffle is installed inside the first through hole. When the drying cylinder 6 and the filter cylinder 4 are used to fix the tea leaves, the baffle blocks the first through hole to prevent heat loss from the filter cylinder 4.

[0026] In this embodiment, the end cap assembly 3 includes an annular end cap and a baffle plate with a through hole. The annular end cap is coaxially mounted on both end walls of the working cylinder 2, and the baffle plate is coaxially mounted on the annular end cap. The drying cylinder 6 passes coaxially through the baffle plate, and the diameter of the through hole in the baffle plate is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the drying cylinder 6, so that the drying cylinder 6 can pass smoothly through the baffle plate.

[0027] In this embodiment, the end of the drying cylinder 6 facing away from the drive motor 9 is mounted on the corresponding bracket 8 via a rotating vent. The working cylinder 2 is mounted on the loading box 1 via connecting blocks.

[0028] In use, firstly, remove one end cap assembly 3, then load the tea leaves into the filter cylinder 4. Next, reinstall the end cap assembly 3 onto the working cylinder 2. Then, the hot air supply pump supplies hot air into the filter cylinder 4 through the drying cylinder 6. The drive motor 9 then rotates the drying cylinder 6, which in turn rotates the filter cylinder 4 via the connecting frame 7, thus performing a fixation operation on the tea leaves inside the filter cylinder 4. After the fixation is complete, waste material and wastewater are discharged into the water collection tank 10 through the first and second through holes. Then, remove the one end cap assembly 3 again and remove the fixated tea leaves for storage.

[0029] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
