Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fermentation tank technology, and in particular to a detachable modular fermentation tank for tea fermentation. Background Technology

[0002] The detachable modular fermentation tank for tea fermentation is a device used in the tea fermentation process. It consists of multiple detachable and combinable components and has the following structure:

[0003] 1. Base plate: As the basic load-bearing component of the fermentation tank, the base plate provides a stable surface for placing the tea leaves;

[0004] 2. Side panel one and side panel two: They serve to enclose the sides and assist in constructing the fermentation space, together defining the volume and shape of the fermentation tank.

[0005] The base plate, side plate one, and side plate two are connected by interlocking. In the high-humidity fermentation environment, the wood is prone to moisture absorption, expansion, and deformation, causing the originally tight interlocking structure to loosen. This causes side plate two and side plate one to gradually separate from the base plate, affecting the structural stability of the fermentation tank. During the transportation of the fermentation tank, the loose structure causes the fermentation tank structure to collapse, and the tea leaves inside the tank to scatter, resulting in waste of raw materials. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a detachable modular fermentation tank for tea fermentation. It solves the technical problem that in a high-humidity fermentation environment, wood is prone to moisture absorption, expansion, and deformation, which causes the originally tight interlocking structure to loosen, causing side plates one and two to gradually separate from the bottom plate, affecting the structural stability of the fermentation tank. During the transportation of the fermentation tank, the loose structure causes the fermentation tank to collapse, scattering tea leaves inside and wasting raw materials.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A detachable modular fermentation tank for tea fermentation includes a bottom plate, two side plates, and two side plates. The ends of two side plates are snapped onto the outside of the bottom plate, and two side plates are located between the two side plates. Four positioning mechanisms are provided on the outside of the bottom plate. Each positioning mechanism includes a positioning block, an insert plate, a through hole, and a limiting plate. The positioning block is fixedly installed on the outside of the bottom plate, the insert plate is fixedly installed on the outside of the side plate, the through hole is opened at one end of the side plate corresponding to the insert plate, the insert plate is slidably connected inside the through hole, and the two ends of the limiting plate are snapped onto the outside of the positioning block and the insert plate, respectively.

[0009] Preferably, each limiting plate has a slot at both ends, and the limiting plate is engaged with the outside of the positioning block and the insert plate through the slot. Each slot is provided with a limiting spring to restrict the movement of the limiting plate.

[0010] Preferably, each slot has a deformation groove for the movement of the limiting spring, and each deformation groove has an internal groove, with one end of the limiting spring engaged inside the internal groove.

[0011] Preferably, each limiting plate is fixedly connected to the outside of a rope, and a mounting bracket is fixedly connected to one side of the base plate corresponding to each limiting plate, with the rope tied to the outside of the mounting bracket.

[0012] Preferably, a screen is provided between the two side plates, and mounting plates are fixedly installed on the adjacent sides of the two side plates, with the two ends of the screen placed on the upper surfaces of the two mounting plates respectively.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. The insert plate passes through the through hole of side plate one, so that side plate two and side plate one form a preliminary connection. The limiting plate is connected to the outside of the positioning block and the insert plate through the slot, which further strengthens the connection and prevents side plate two and side plate one from separating from the bottom plate. This ensures the stability of the fermentation tank structure, thereby reducing the risk of the fermentation tank structure collapsing due to structural loosening during the transportation of the fermentation tank and avoiding the problem of tea leaves scattering in the tank and wasting raw materials.

[0015] 2. The sieve is used to place tea leaves so that they do not come into contact with the bottom plate. If liquid is produced during the fermentation process, the liquid can flow to the bottom of the sieve. The mounting plate supports the sieve. The detachable sieve is easy to replace and clean, improving the convenience of operation. Attached Figure Description

[0022] This application provides a detachable modular fermentation tank for tea fermentation, which effectively solves the technical problem that in a high-humidity fermentation environment, wood is prone to moisture absorption, expansion, and deformation, causing the originally tight interlocking structure to loosen, resulting in the gradual separation of side plates two and one from the bottom plate, affecting the structural stability of the fermentation tank, and causing the fermentation tank to collapse due to structural loosening during transportation, resulting in tea leaves scattering from the tank and wasting raw materials.

[0023] Example

[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the technical solution in this application embodiment effectively solves the problem that in a high-humidity fermentation environment, wood is prone to moisture absorption, expansion, and deformation, causing the originally tight interlocking structure to loosen. This leads to the gradual separation of side plates two and one from the bottom plate, affecting the structural stability of the fermentation tank. During the handling of the fermentation tank, the loose structure causes the fermentation tank structure to collapse, resulting in tea leaves scattering and wasting raw materials. The overall approach is as follows:

[0025] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a detachable modular fermentation tank for tea fermentation, including a base plate 1, side plate 1 2, and side plate 2 3. The ends of the two side plates 1 2 are snapped onto the outside of the base plate 1, and the two side plates 2 3 are located between the two side plates 1 2 and are set perpendicular to the side plates 1 2, together forming a rectangular fermentation space. The base plate 1, side plate 1 2, and side plate 2 3 together form the main frame of the fermentation tank, providing space for tea fermentation. The modular design allows the fermentation tank to be disassembled and assembled according to needs, facilitating cleaning, transportation, and scale adjustment. The base plate 1 has four positioning mechanisms on its outside. Each positioning mechanism includes a positioning block 4, an insert plate 5, a through hole 6, and a limiting plate 7. The positioning block 4 is fixedly installed on the outside of the base plate 1, the insert plate 5 is fixedly installed on the outside of the side plate 2 3, the through hole 6 is opened at one end of the side plate 1 2 corresponding to the insert plate 5, the insert plate 5 is slidably connected inside the through hole 6, and the two ends of the limiting plate 7 are respectively snapped onto the outside of the positioning block 4 and the insert plate 5.

[0026] Insert plate 5 passes through the through hole 6 of side plate 2, so that side plate 3 and side plate 2 form a preliminary connection. Limiting plate 7 is engaged with positioning block 4 and the outside of insert plate 5 through slot 8, further strengthening the connection, preventing side plate 3 and side plate 2 from shifting, and ensuring the stability of fermentation tank structure.

[0027] Each limiting plate 7 has a slot 8 at both ends, and the limiting plate 7 is engaged with the outside of the positioning block 4 and the insert plate 5 through the slot 8.

[0028] Each slot 8 is equipped with a limiting spring 9 to restrict the movement of the limiting plate 7. The limiting spring 9 is made of elastic materials such as stainless steel or spring steel. The limiting spring 9 generates pressure pointing towards the surface of the positioning block 4 or the insert plate 5, thereby restricting the movement of the limiting plate 7 and reducing the probability of the limiting plate 7 becoming loose. Each slot 8 is provided with a deformation groove 10 for the movement of the limiting spring 9. Each deformation groove 10 is provided with an internal groove 11. One end of the limiting spring 9 is engaged inside the internal groove 11, and the other end extends outward. The deformation groove 10 provides deformation space for the limiting spring 9. The engagement between the internal groove 11 and the limiting spring 9 facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the limiting spring 9.

[0029] Each limiting plate 7 is fixedly connected to the outside of a rope 12, and a mounting bracket 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the base plate 1 corresponding to each limiting plate 7. The rope 12 is tied to the outside of the mounting bracket 13 to prevent the limiting plate 7 from being lost.

[0030] A screen 14 is provided between the two side plates 2 3. An mounting plate 15 is fixedly installed on the adjacent side of the two side plates 2 3. The two ends of the screen 14 are placed on the upper surface of the two mounting plates 15 respectively. The screen 14 is used to place tea leaves so that the tea leaves do not contact the bottom plate 1. If liquid is produced during the fermentation of the tea leaves, the liquid can flow to the bottom of the screen 14. The mounting plate 15 supports the screen 14. The detachable screen 14 is easy to replace and clean.

[0031] Working principle:

[0032] First, attach one side plate 2 to the outside of the base plate 1. Then, place the two side plates 3 on the upper surface of the base plate 1. The insert plate 5 passes through the through hole 6 through the side plate 2. Next, attach the other side plate 2 to the other end of the base plate 1. The insert plate 5 at the other end of the side plate 3 also passes through the through hole 6. At this point, attach one end of the limiting spring 9 to the outside of the base plate 1. Then, attach the limiting plate 7 to the outside of the positioning block 4 and the insert plate 5 through the slot 8. During this process, the limiting spring 9 extends outward and moves into the inside of the deformation groove 10. After the limiting plate 7 is attached to the outside of the positioning block 4 and the insert plate 5 through the slot 8, the corresponding limiting spring 9 is attached to the outside of the positioning block 4 and the insert plate 5.

[0033] The second step involves placing the two ends of the sieve 14 on the upper surfaces of the two mounting plates 15, and placing the tea leaves on top of the sieve 14. If the tea leaves produce liquid during the fermentation process, the liquid can flow through the mesh of the sieve 14 to the bottom plate 1 below the sieve 14, thus preventing the tea leaves from soaking in the liquid and affecting the fermentation quality.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
