Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of Liubao tea fermentation technology, and in particular relates to a turning machine for Liubao tea fermentation. Background Technology

[0002] Liubao tea is divided into traditional Liubao tea and modern processed Liubao tea. Traditional Liubao tea undergoes only one fermentation, resulting in a relatively uniform quality. Modern processed Liubao tea, on the other hand, undergoes two fermentations, giving it characteristics such as red color, strong flavor, aged aroma, and mellow taste. Modern Liubao tea was developed based on the techniques of traditional Liubao tea. In 1956, Luo Yuqi's technical team, summarizing the uniform quality of traditional Liubao tea due to its single fermentation, adopted a pile-fermentation technique involving adding cold water. This technique involves piling raw Liubao tea leaves on a terrazzo-floored workshop (or fermentation tank), adding a certain amount of cold water, and controlling the temperature for nearly two months of fermentation. This technique results in more uniform fermentation. The terrazzo floor effectively absorbs moisture released from the tea leaves during fermentation, preventing the tea leaves from softening or crumbling. The tea leaves need to be turned frequently during fermentation.

[0003] Traditionally, turning the tea leaves into piles mainly involves using shovels and rakes to turn the fermented tea leaves over and break up any clumps. This method is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and has low production efficiency. Therefore, a turning machine for Liubao tea fermentation is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a turning machine for fermenting Liubao tea, thereby solving the existing problems.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model relates to a turning machine for Liubao tea fermentation, comprising a fermentation tank and a turning device. The turning device has symmetrically arranged fixed plates on its upper surface. A double-headed motor is positioned between two sets of fixed plates on the upper surface of the turning device. The output ends of the double-headed motor penetrate one side of each fixed plate and rotate with it. First pulleys are fitted onto both output ends of the double-headed motor. Fixed blocks are symmetrically arranged on the bottom surface of the turning device. A rotating rod is inserted between two sets of fixed blocks. Second pulleys are fitted onto the circumferential surfaces of both ends of the rotating rod. Power wheels are fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating rod. A movable groove is provided on one side of the upper surface of the flipping device. A servo motor is provided on the upper surface of the flipping device, and a third pulley is provided at the output end of the servo motor. Vertical plates are symmetrically arranged on the bottom surface of the flipping device to the right of the fixed block. A rotating roller is rotatably connected between the two sets of vertical plates. The right end of the rotating roller passes through one side of the vertical plate and is provided with a fourth pulley. Several stirring rods are equidistantly arranged on the circumference of the rotating roller. A stirring plate is provided at one end of the stirring rod, and a groove is provided at one end of the stirring plate. Mounting plates are symmetrically arranged on the bottom surface of the flipping device to the right of the vertical plates. A driven wheel is rotatably connected to one side of the mounting plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the upper surface of the fermentation tank is symmetrically provided with sliding grooves, the shape and size of which are adapted to the drive wheel and driven wheel. The drive wheel and driven wheel are set in the sliding grooves and slide in cooperation with the sliding grooves. The bottom surface of the flipping device is symmetrically provided with connecting plates on the right side of the mounting plate. A water pipe is provided between the two sets of connecting plates, and several nozzles are connected to the periphery of the water pipe.

[0008] Furthermore, a water tank is provided on the upper surface of the flipping device, and a water pump is connected to one side of the water tank. A connecting pipe is connected to the outlet of the water pump. The bottom end of the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the water pipe and communicates with the water pipe. The output ends of both sides of the dual-head motor are fixedly connected to the first pulley. The two sets of fixed blocks are rotatably engaged with the rotating rod. The first pulley and the second pulley are connected by a belt, and the third pulley and the fourth pulley are connected by a belt. A controller is provided on the upper surface of the flipping device.

[0009] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0010] This invention involves spreading Liubao tea leaves evenly in a fermentation tank. A controller then activates a servo motor, which drives a third pulley at its output end. This third pulley is connected to a fourth pulley via a belt, which in turn drives a rotating roller. The rotating roller then rotates the stirring rods, stirring plates, and grooves on the surrounding surface, achieving unmanned operation, reducing manual labor and workload. Simultaneously, a dual-head motor is activated, driving the first pulleys at both output ends to rotate. These first pulleys are connected to second pulleys via belts, which in turn drive the rotating rods and the power wheels at both ends to rotate. These rotations, in turn, cause the driven wheels to move within a chute, thus moving the turning device. The rotating roller continuously contacts the Liubao tea leaves, turning and evenly mixing them, achieving the goal of turning the Liubao tea pile.

[0011] When the turning device turns the Liubao tea pile, the water pump is started to draw water from the water tank and pump it into the water pipe through the connecting pipe. Several nozzles connected to the side of the water pipe spray the Liubao tea pile, which further improves the fermentation effect.

[0012] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description
