Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] "Wodui" refers to the process of piling sun-dried green tea leaves to a certain height, sprinkling water on them, covering them with burlap, and promoting the action of tea enzymes to ferment them under humid and hot conditions.

[0003] Traditional fermentation methods typically involve piling tea leaves on the ground and then manually sprinkling them with water. However, this method suffers from problems such as uneven watering, high labor intensity, and low efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as uneven water distribution, high labor intensity, and low efficiency, by proposing a tea processing fermentation device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A tea processing and fermentation device includes a U-shaped base, on which a placement box for stacking tea leaves is provided. A first groove is formed in the U-shaped base, and a U-shaped frame slides in the first groove. A connecting pipe rotates in the U-shaped frame, and multiple water spray nozzles for sprinkling water are evenly formed in the connecting pipe. A set of reciprocating components is provided in the U-shaped base, and the reciprocating components are used to drive the connecting pipe to reciprocate on the upper side of the placement box to sprinkle water.

[0007] To ensure uniform water spraying, a set of swing components is provided between the U-shaped frame and the U-shaped seat. The swing components are used to drive multiple water nozzles to swing and spray. The swing components are used in conjunction with the reciprocating components.

[0008] In one possible design, the reciprocating assembly includes two limiting rods fixed in a first groove, a U-shaped frame sliding on the surfaces of the two limiting rods, a reciprocating lead screw rotating in the first groove, the U-shaped frame being threaded to the surface of the reciprocating lead screw, and a drive motor fixed to the side end of the U-shaped seat, the drive motor being fixedly connected to the reciprocating lead screw via a coupling.

[0009] The process involves starting a drive motor to rotate a reciprocating screw, which in turn causes a U-shaped frame to reciprocate linearly within the first groove. This, in turn, causes the connecting pipe to reciprocate linearly on the placement box, thus achieving uniform spraying.

[0010] In one possible design, the swing assembly includes a rotating plate fixed to the surface of the connecting pipe, a rotating shaft rotatably mounted inside the U-shaped frame, a rotating rod fixed to the surface of the rotating shaft, a slider fixed to the side end of the rotating rod, and a sliding groove provided inside the rotating plate, with the slider sliding within the sliding groove.

[0011] The system involves driving a rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives a rotating rod to rotate. The rotating rod then drives a slider to move in a circular motion. During this circular motion, the slider slides within a groove. The slider drives a rotating plate to oscillate, which in turn drives a connecting pipe to rotate reciprocally, thereby causing multiple water nozzles to oscillate and spray.

[0012] In one possible design, the swing assembly further includes a driven gear fixed to the surface of the rotating shaft, and a rack that meshes with the driven gear is fixed to the top of the U-shaped seat;

[0013] When the U-shaped frame moves, it drives the driven gear to reciprocate. The reciprocating movement of the driven gear is driven by a fixed rack. The driven gear drives the rotating shaft to rotate, which can realize that the rotating shaft rotates automatically during the reciprocating movement.

[0014] In one possible design, a baffle for protecting the drive motor is welded and fixed to the side end of the U-shaped seat.

[0015] In one possible design, a flexible hose is fixedly connected to the side end of the connecting pipe, and the flexible hose is connected to the outlet of the water pump.

[0016] In one possible design, the placement box is slidably disposed within the U-shaped base.

[0017] In this application, the drive motor is started to drive the reciprocating screw to rotate. The rotation of the reciprocating screw drives the U-shaped frame to reciprocate linearly in the first groove. This causes the U-shaped frame to drive the connecting pipe to reciprocate linearly on the placement box, thereby achieving uniform spraying. When the U-shaped frame moves, it drives the driven gear to reciprocate. The reciprocating movement of the driven gear is driven by a fixed rack. The driven gear drives the rotating shaft to rotate, which can realize that the rotating shaft rotates automatically during the reciprocating movement. By driving the rotating shaft to rotate, the rotating shaft drives the rotating rod to rotate. The rotating rod drives the slider to perform circular motion. When the slider moves in a circular motion, it slides in the groove. The slider drives the rotating plate to swing. The rotating plate drives the connecting pipe to reciprocate, thereby driving multiple water nozzles to swing and spray.

[0018] Beneficial effects: In this utility model, the tea processing and fermentation device achieves reciprocating movement and oscillating spraying of the connecting pipe on the placement box through the combined use of the reciprocating component and the oscillating component, thereby ensuring the uniformity of water spraying.

[0019] This invention features a simple structure, convenient operation, and high efficiency, greatly reducing labor intensity. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0026] Example 1: Refer to Figures 1-4 A tea processing and fermentation device, applicable in the field of tea processing technology, includes a U-shaped base 1, a placement box 2, a U-shaped frame 4, a connecting pipe 5, a reciprocating assembly, and a swinging assembly. The U-shaped base 1 is provided with a placement box 2 for stacking tea leaves. A first groove 3 is formed inside the U-shaped base 1, and the U-shaped frame 4 slides within the first groove 3. The connecting pipe 5 rotates within the U-shaped frame 4, and multiple water spray nozzles 11 are evenly distributed within the connecting pipe 5 for sprinkling water.

[0027] The reciprocating assembly includes two limiting rods 18 fixed in the first groove 3, a reciprocating lead screw 10 rotating in the first groove 3, and a drive motor 8 fixed to the side of the U-shaped seat 1. The U-shaped frame 4 slides on the surface of the two limiting rods 18 and is threadedly connected to the surface of the reciprocating lead screw 10. After the drive motor 8 is started, the drive motor 8 drives the reciprocating lead screw 10 to rotate through the coupling. The rotation of the reciprocating lead screw 10 drives the U-shaped frame 4 to perform reciprocating linear motion in the first groove 3. In this way, the U-shaped frame 4 can drive the connecting pipe 5 to perform reciprocating linear motion on the placement box 2, thereby achieving uniform spraying.

[0028] The oscillating assembly includes a rotating plate 12 fixed to the surface of the connecting pipe 5, a rotating shaft 16 rotating within a U-shaped frame 4, a rotating rod 15 fixed to the surface of the rotating shaft 16, and a slider 14 fixed to the side end of the rotating rod 15. A groove 13 is formed within the rotating plate 12, and the slider 14 slides within the groove 13. When the rotating shaft 16 rotates, it drives the rotating rod 15 to rotate, which in turn drives the slider 14 to perform circular motion. During this circular motion, the slider 14 slides within the groove 13, thereby driving the rotating plate 12 to oscillate. The rotating plate 12 drives the connecting pipe 5 to reciprocate, which in turn drives multiple water nozzles 11 to perform oscillating spraying.

[0029] To enable the rotating shaft 16 to rotate automatically during reciprocating motion, the swing assembly also includes a driven gear 17 fixed to the surface of the rotating shaft 16 and a rack 9 fixed to the top of the U-shaped base 1. When the U-shaped frame 4 moves, it drives the driven gear 17 to reciprocate. The driven gear 17 is driven by the fixed rack 9 during its reciprocating motion, thereby driving the rotating shaft 16 to rotate.

[0030] Example 2: Refer to Figures 1-4 An improvement upon embodiment 1 is made as follows: A baffle 7 is welded and fixed to the side end of the U-shaped base 1 to protect the drive motor 8 from interference and damage from the external environment. A flexible hose 6 is fixedly connected to the side end of the connecting pipe 5, and the flexible hose 6 is connected to the outlet of the water pump to provide a water source for the connecting pipe 5. The placement box 2 is slidably disposed inside the U-shaped base 1 for easy placement and cleaning of tea leaves.

[0031] However, as is well known to those skilled in the art, the working principle and wiring method of the drive motor 8 are commonplace and are all conventional methods or common knowledge. They will not be described in detail here. Those skilled in the art can make any selections according to their needs or convenience.

[0032] The accompanying drawings in this application are for illustrative purposes only. The dimensions and shapes of the components shown are not actual limitations but are merely schematic representations. In actual implementation, the components can be reasonably configured and adjusted according to specific needs and actual conditions.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
