Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing technology, and in particular to a tea drying device. Background Technology

[0002] During tea processing, freshly picked tea leaves have a high water content, so they need to be dried in the sun to remove excess moisture.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN219735810U discloses a tea drying rack, including a drying support assembly. The assembly comprises a base, uprights, and drying trays. The uprights are located on the base, and multiple connecting parts are linearly arranged at equal intervals on the uprights. Each connecting part is rotatably connected to a drying tray. A traction rope is provided between every two adjacent drying trays. This tea drying rack allows all drying trays to be staggered at equal intervals simply by rotating the uppermost (or lowermost) drying tray, making it very convenient to operate.

[0004] In the process of using the tea drying rack disclosed in the above-mentioned utility model patent, the tea needs to be turned over during the drying process to ensure that the tea is dried evenly. Therefore, it is necessary to manually turn over the tea placed in the drying tray, which results in a large workload for the staff and low efficiency of manual turning. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a tea drying device that solves the problems of high workload and low efficiency caused by manual turning of tea leaves.

[0006] According to an embodiment of this utility model, a tea drying device includes a base, on which a rotatable mounting frame and a mounting column rotatably connected to the mounting frame are provided. The rotation axis of the mounting column is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the mounting frame. A support frame is provided on the mounting column, and a detachable drying tray is provided on the support frame. The base is also provided with a drive motor, and the output end of the drive motor is provided with a transmission component. The transmission component is provided with a first transmission shaft and a second transmission shaft. The axial direction of the first transmission shaft is vertical and is connected to the drive motor. The axial direction of the second transmission shaft forms an acute angle with the axial direction of the first transmission shaft, and the mounting column is provided with a mounting hole that mates with the second transmission shaft.

[0007] Furthermore, the mounting frame includes two detachably connected half-frames, which form a first connecting hole and a second connecting hole, with the axial direction of the first connecting hole perpendicular to the axial direction of the second connecting hole. The base is provided with a first connecting shaft that mates with the first connecting hole, and the mounting post is provided with a second connecting shaft that mates with the second connecting hole.

[0008] Furthermore, a plurality of first through holes are provided at intervals on each half frame, and the first through holes on two half frames are aligned one to one.

[0009] Furthermore, the support frame includes a positioning ring, which has a positioning groove that mates with the drying tray.

[0010] Furthermore, the number of positioning rings is at least two, and the positioning rings are evenly spaced along the circumference of the mounting post.

[0011] Furthermore, the drying tray is provided with a plurality of mesh holes spaced apart, and the mesh holes pass through the drying tray.

[0012] Furthermore, the drying tray is provided with two handles spaced apart, with the two handles respectively located near both ends of the drying tray.

[0013] Furthermore, the drying tray is provided with a mesh cover, which covers the opening of the drying tray and is magnetically connected to the drying tray.

[0014] Furthermore, the drive motor has a mounting base, the mounting base is provided with a plurality of second through holes spaced apart, and the base is provided with threaded holes that are aligned one by one with the second through holes.

[0015] Furthermore, the transmission component also includes an adapter block, and the first transmission shaft and the second transmission shaft are respectively fixedly connected to the adapter block.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: By using a drying tray to place tea leaves for drying, when it is necessary to turn the tea leaves, the drive motor is started to drive the transmission component to rotate, so that the mounting column rotates around the axial direction of the first transmission shaft under the drive of the transmission component. Since the transmission component and the mounting column are connected by the cooperation of the second transmission shaft and the mounting hole, and the angle between the axial direction of the second transmission shaft and the axial direction of the first transmission shaft is an acute angle, the mounting column remains tilted during rotation. As the mounting column rotates, the tea leaves in the drying tray placed on the support frame roll in the drying tray, which can automatically turn the tea leaves in the drying tray. This solves the technical problem that manual turning of tea leaves leads to a large workload for workers and low efficiency, and produces the technical effect of reducing the labor intensity of workers and ensuring uniform drying of tea leaves.

[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes a tea drying device for drying fresh tea leaves to remove excess moisture from the tea leaves, making it easier for further processing.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The tea drying device includes a base 1, on which a rotatable mounting frame 2 and a mounting column 3 rotatably connected to the mounting frame 2 are provided. The rotation axis of the mounting column 3 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the mounting frame 2. A support frame 31 is provided on the mounting column 3, and a detachable drying tray 4 is provided on the support frame 31. The tea leaves are laid flat on the drying tray 4 for drying. The base 1 also includes a drive motor 5, and the output end of the drive motor 5 is provided with a transmission component 6. The transmission component 6 is provided with a first transmission shaft 61 and a second transmission shaft 62. The axial direction of the first transmission shaft 61 is vertical, and the... The first transmission shaft 61 is connected to the drive motor 5. The axial angle between the second transmission shaft 62 and the axial angle of the first transmission shaft 61 is an acute angle. The mounting column 3 is provided with a mounting hole 32 that cooperates with the second transmission shaft 62. When the transmission component 6 rotates under the drive of the drive motor 5, the transmission component 6 rotates around the axial direction of the first transmission shaft 61 and drives the mounting column 3 to rotate around the axial direction of the first transmission shaft 61. When the mounting column 3 rotates, it drives the support frame 31 to swing, so that the tea leaves in the drying tray 4 can roll in the drying tray 4, thereby turning the tea leaves over.

[0025] Specifically, the operation steps for drying tea using the tea drying device provided in this embodiment are as follows: Place fresh tea leaves into the drying tray 4 and spread them flat to dry the tea leaves; when it is necessary to turn the tea leaves during the drying process, start the drive motor 5 to make the transmission component 6 rotate under the drive motor 5. At this time, the mounting column 3 rotates around the axial direction of the first transmission shaft 61 under the drive of the transmission component 6. Since the transmission component 6 and the mounting column 3 are connected by the cooperation of the second transmission shaft 62 and the mounting hole 32, and the angle between the axial direction of the second transmission shaft 62 and the axial direction of the first transmission shaft 61 is an acute angle, the mounting column 3 reciprocates relative to the mounting frame 2 during the rotation process. At the same time, the mounting frame 2 reciprocates on the base 1, so that the mounting column 3 remains in an inclined state relative to the first transmission shaft 61 when it rotates. As the mounting column 3 rotates, the tea leaves placed in the drying tray 4 will roll in the drying tray 4, thus automatically turning the tea leaves drying in the drying tray 4. The tea drying device provided in this embodiment can automatically turn the tea leaves during the drying process, which reduces the labor intensity of the workers, improves the turning efficiency, and ensures that the tea leaves are dried evenly.

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the mounting frame 2 includes two detachably connected half-frames 21, which form a first connecting hole 22 and a second connecting hole 23, with the axial direction of the first connecting hole 22 perpendicular to the axial direction of the second connecting hole 23. The base 1 is provided with a first connecting shaft 11 that mates with the first connecting hole 22, and the mounting post 3 is provided with a second connecting shaft 33 that mates with the second connecting hole 23. When assembling the tea drying device, first install the lower half-frame 21 onto the base 1 so that the half-frame 21 fits against the first connecting shaft 11. Then place the mounting post 3 onto the half-frame 21 so that the second connecting shaft 33 fits against the half-frame 21, while the second transmission shaft 62 is inserted into the mounting hole 32. Then combine the other frame body with the placed half-frame 21 to complete the assembly of the tea drying device. After the two half-frames 21 are combined, they form a first connecting hole 22 that mates with the first connecting shaft 11 and a second connecting hole 23 that mates with the second connecting shaft 33. This allows the mounting frame 2 to rotate smoothly relative to the base 1, while also enabling the mounting post 3 to rotate with the mounting frame 2. This facilitates the assembly of the tea drying device while ensuring the structural stability of the tea drying device.

[0027] In detail, the half-frame 21 is provided with a plurality of first through holes 24 at intervals, and the first through holes 24 on the two half-frames 21 are aligned one to one. After the two half-frames 21 are fitted together, the relative position of the two half-frames 21 can be fixed by passing bolts through the two aligned through holes and locking them with nuts, thus ensuring the structural stability and reliability of the mounting frame 2.

[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the support frame 31 includes a positioning ring 34, which has a positioning groove 35 that mates with the drying tray 4. The positioning ring 34 on the support frame 31 is used to place the drying tray 4. Placing the drying tray 4 into the positioning groove 35 allows the drying tray 4 to be easily installed on the support frame 31. After the tea leaves have dried, the drying tray 4 can be removed from the positioning ring 34 to easily remove the tea leaves from the tea drying device, facilitating the transfer of the tea leaves to the next processing step. The drying tray 4 and the positioning ring 34 are fixed by magnetic attraction, which prevents the drying tray 4 from falling off the support frame 31 during the rotation of the mounting column 3.

[0029] In this embodiment, there are four positioning rings 34, and the four positioning rings 34 are equally spaced along the circumference of the mounting column 3. By setting four positioning rings 34 on the support frame 31, and each positioning ring 34 can hold one drying tray 4, the capacity of the tea drying device is increased. Furthermore, the positioning rings 34 are spaced along the circumference of the mounting column 3, which helps to keep the mounting column 3 balanced during rotation.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 3 The drying tray 4 has multiple mesh holes 41 spaced apart, with each mesh hole 41 penetrating through the drying tray 4. The through mesh holes 41 increase the air permeability of the drying tray 4, allowing moisture generated during the tea drying process to quickly dissipate into the surrounding environment, preventing moisture accumulation within the drying tray 4 and thus protecting the tea quality.

[0031] Specifically, the drying tray 4 is provided with two handles 42 spaced apart, with the two handles 42 respectively located near both ends of the drying tray 4. The two handles 42 on the drying tray 4 are used to facilitate the handling of the drying tray 4 by workers, and also to facilitate the placement of the drying tray 4 on the support frame 31 or the removal of the drying tray 4 from the support frame 31.

[0032] Preferably, the drying tray 4 is provided with a mesh cover, which covers the opening of the drying tray 4 and is magnetically connected to the drying tray 4. By providing the mesh cover to the drying tray 4, the tea leaves placed on the drying tray 4 are prevented from falling off the drying tray 4, and the tea leaves are prevented from falling outside the drying tray 4 when the mounting column 3 rotates. This allows the tea leaves to roll fully on the drying tray 4 during the rotation of the mounting column 3, reducing tea leaf accumulation. Furthermore, the magnetic connection between the mesh cover and the drying tray 4 allows the mesh cover to be easily installed on the drying tray 4 or removed, facilitating the use of the tea drying device.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the drive motor 5 has a mounting base 51, on which a plurality of second through holes are spaced apart, and the base 1 has threaded holes that are aligned with the second through holes one by one. After the drive motor 5 is placed on the base 1, the mounting base 51 fits against the base 1, and the second through holes are aligned with the threaded holes one by one. By using screws passing through the second through holes and engaging with the threaded holes, the mounting base 51 can be fixed on the base 1, and the position of the drive motor 5 on the base 1 can be kept stable.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 2The transmission component 6 further includes an adapter block 63, to which the first transmission shaft 61 and the second transmission shaft 62 are respectively fixedly connected. The fixed connection of the first transmission shaft 61 and the second transmission shaft 62 to the adapter block 63 improves the structural stability of the transmission component 6, ensuring that when the first transmission shaft 61 rotates under the drive of the drive motor 5, the power output by the drive motor 5 can be smoothly transmitted to the mounting column 3 through the second transmission shaft 62, thus improving the stability of the tea drying device during operation.
