Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In the tea processing process, the fermentation process is a key step that determines the quality of tea. Traditional fermentation relies heavily on manual turning of the pile, which has problems such as high labor intensity, low efficiency, and difficulty in controlling the uniformity of fermentation. This can easily lead to inconsistent fermentation levels, affecting the taste and aroma of the tea. Some existing fermentation equipment still has shortcomings in terms of temperature and humidity control and automation, and cannot accurately simulate the traditional process environment, making it difficult to meet the needs of high-quality tea production. There is an urgent need for more efficient and intelligent fermentation equipment.

[0003] According to a patent application published on the internet (authorization announcement number: CN217407660U), a tea processing fermentation device is described as follows: "This utility model discloses a tea processing fermentation device, including a vertical plate. One end of a rectangular plate is fixedly connected to the upper part of one side of the vertical plate. A motor is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rectangular plate. The output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the center of a first pulley. The center of the first pulley is fixedly connected to the center of a first gear. The first gear meshes with a second gear. The central shaft of the second gear passes through and is movably connected to the upper middle part of the vertical plate. This utility model relates to the field of tea processing equipment, specifically to a tea processing fermentation device. This utility model is a tea processing fermentation device, which is beneficial for realizing the processing and fermentation of tea."

The tea leaves are placed inside the storage cylinder 49 and on top of the top plate 45. During operation, the bottom component is rotated by the second servo motor 403. The tea leaves are stirred by the anchor-type stirring blade 409 and the inclined stirring blade 4091, so that the tea leaves are fully mixed. At the same time, the contact area between the tea leaves and the hot and humid air is increased, improving the processing efficiency. The anchor-type stirring blade 409 can effectively push the material upward along the barrel wall at the bottom, preventing the material from sticking to the wall and settling. At the same time, it makes the material at the bottom participate in tumbling. The first servo motor 43 at the bottom drives the first rotating shaft 44 to rotate in the opposite direction, driving the top storage cylinder 49 to rotate, further enhancing the heating and humidification area, and further improving the processing efficiency of the device.

[0037] In actual operation, when this device is in use, the tea leaves are placed inside the storage cylinder 49 and on top of the top plate 45. During operation, the second servo motor 403 drives the bottom component to rotate, and the anchor-type stirring blade 409 and the inclined stirring blade 4091 stir the tea leaves, so that the tea leaves are fully mixed. At the same time, the contact area between the tea leaves and the hot and humid air is increased, improving the processing efficiency. The anchor-type stirring blade 409 can effectively push the material along the barrel wall at the bottom, preventing the material from sticking to the wall and settling. At the same time, it makes the material at the bottom participate in tumbling. The first servo motor 43 at the bottom drives the first rotating shaft 44 to rotate in the opposite direction, driving the top storage cylinder 49 to rotate, further enhancing the heating and humidification area, and further improving the processing efficiency of the device.

[0038] When the tea leaves are placed inside the device for fermentation, the staff activates the heating and humidification mechanism 5 to heat and humidify them. Air is drawn in through the intake fan 53, heated by the electric heating tube 56, and the heat is evenly diffused into the sealed box 1 by the fan 57 to heat the tea leaves.

After exhausting the air, the staff opens the airtight door 2 and drives the hydraulic telescopic column 8 through the hydraulic cylinder 7 to push out the storage plate 9. At this time, the staff can remove the storage cylinder 49 for tea recycling.
