Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea production technology, specifically a tea drying machine for tea production. Background Technology

[0002] Tea drying machines mainly use hot air circulation or infrared radiation heating to quickly evaporate the moisture in tea leaves. Their working principle usually includes three stages: preheating, constant temperature, and cooling, to ensure that the tea leaves are heated evenly during the drying process and to avoid the loss of nutrients.

[0003] Currently, in the tea production process, tea leaves need to be dried to remove excess moisture, prevent mold and spoilage, and enhance aroma and taste. The drying process involves first placing the tea leaves in a sieve, then placing the sieve on a fixed rack inside a dryer, and finally starting the dryer to dry the tea. However, during the drying process, the accumulation of tea leaves leads to low drying efficiency. Therefore, we propose a tea dryer for tea production. Utility Model Content

[0024] Please see Figures 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution: a tea drying machine for tea production, comprising a body 1, with casters 26 installed at the bottom corners of the body 1, and several sets of heat dissipation holes 28 on the body 1. A door 2 is installed on the body 1, and a handle 29 is installed on the door 2. A tea rack is installed inside the body 1; the tea rack includes multiple sets of fixing frames 3, which are linearly and equidistantly installed inside the body 1. A perforated support plate 4 is fixedly connected to each fixing frame 3, and a fixing block 5 is fixedly connected to the outer side of each fixing frame 3. A fixed column 6 is fixedly connected between the fixed blocks 5. A screen 7 is installed between the two sets of perforated support plates 4. The height of the screen 7 is the same as the height between the two sets of perforated support plates 4. A connecting piece 8 is fixedly connected to the perforated support plate 4 at the top. A sliding column 9 that is rotatably connected to the machine body 1 is rotatably connected to the connecting piece 8. A reciprocating assembly 10 for driving the sliding column 9 to slide up and down is installed on the sliding column 9. Multiple sets of second springs 27 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the machine body 1. The ends of the multiple sets of second springs 27 are in contact with the perforated support plate 4.

[0025] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5The reciprocating assembly 10 shown in the figure includes a fixed sleeve 11 fixedly connected to the sliding column 9. The fixed sleeve 11 has multiple sets of inclined grooves 12. Inclined blocks 13 are slidably connected inside the inclined grooves 12. Connecting plates 14 are fixedly connected to the ends of the multiple sets of inclined blocks 13. Rotating components 15 for driving the connecting plate 14 to rotate are installed on the connecting plate 14. An elastic component 16 is installed between the fixed sleeve 11 and the machine body 1.

[0026] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The rotating component 15 shown in the figure includes a support sleeve 17 fixedly connected to the body 1. A motor 18 is fixedly connected to the end of the support sleeve 17. A drive shaft 19 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 18. The drive shaft 19 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 14.

[0027] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The elastic element 16 shown in the figure includes a fixing ring 20 fixedly connected to the body 1. The fixing ring 20 is sleeved on the outer side of the sliding column 9, and a first spring 21 sleeved on the outer side of the sliding column 9 is fixedly connected to the end of the fixing ring 20. A support piece 22 fixedly connected to the fixing sleeve 11 is fixedly connected to the end of the first spring 21.

[0028] Please see Figure 7 The sliding column 9 in the figure is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 23. The rotating shaft 23 is fixedly connected to the connecting piece 8, and a slot 24 is provided at the end of the rotating shaft 23. A prismatic column 25 fixedly connected to the drive shaft 19 is slidably connected inside the slot 24.

[0029] Working principle: During the tea drying process, the motor 18 is started, which drives the drive shaft 19 to rotate. The rotation of the drive shaft 19 then drives the connecting plate 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the inclined block 13 to rotate. Through the cooperation of the inclined block 13 and the inclined groove 12, the fixed sleeve 11 drives the sliding column 9 to move down. After the inclined block 13 aligns with the inclined groove 12 again, the fixed sleeve 11 will cause the sliding column 9 to move up through the action of the first spring 21. Therefore, during the start of the motor 18, through the cooperation of the inclined block 13, the inclined groove 12 and the first spring 21, the sliding column 9 can move up and down reciprocally. The up and down reciprocating movement of the sliding column 9 drives the tea rack to move up and down reciprocally, which in turn causes the screen 7 to move up and down reciprocally. Therefore, the tea inside the screen 7 will shake up and down in the screen 7, avoiding the accumulation of tea and affecting the drying efficiency.

[0030] During this process, the rotation of the drive shaft 19 will drive the prism 25 to rotate, which in turn will drive the rotating shaft 23 to rotate, which in turn will drive the tea rack to rotate, thus causing the screen 7 to rotate, and thus causing the tea to rotate inside the machine body 1, which facilitates the even drying of the tea.

[0031] It is worth noting that the sliding column 9 is rotatably connected to the connecting piece 8, while the rotating shaft 23 is fixedly connected to the connecting piece 8. The sliding column 9 is sleeved on the outer side of the rotating shaft 23, and the prismatic column 25 is slidably connected to the rotating shaft 23. Therefore, the rotation and up-and-down movement of the tea rack will not be affected during the drying process.
