Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing technology, and in particular to a device for accelerating the withering of tea leaves in a withering room. Background Technology
[0002] Withering of tea leaves is an important step in the tea-making process. Its main purpose is to remove some moisture from fresh leaves through appropriate methods, triggering a series of physical and chemical changes that lay the foundation for subsequent processing steps and ultimately create the unique quality of the tea. Currently, the methods for withering tea leaves include natural withering, sun withering, and indoor heating withering.
[0003] After searching, it was found that the technical solution provided by the utility model with application number CN202222351665.X includes an auxiliary mechanism comprising a first movable plate and a second movable plate. The first movable plate and the second movable plate are in contact with the inner wall of the top and bottom of the outer shell, respectively. The first movable plate has a cavity inside, and the top of the second movable plate is connected to a rotating shaft. Three placement plates are fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft, and the three placement plates are evenly distributed in a straight line. Each of the three placement plates has a filter screen fixedly embedded inside. This solution can make the tea leaves heat evenly, thereby ensuring the quality of withering. However, it is inconvenient to remove the tea leaves after withering, as they need to be removed little by little, resulting in low tea leaf removal efficiency. Furthermore, under the rotation of the motor, the tea leaves on the filter screen will gather towards the edge due to centrifugal force, and the accumulated tea leaves reduce the withering efficiency of the tea leaves.

[0023] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0024] Reference Figure 1-4This utility model discloses a device for accelerating the withering of tea leaves in a withering room, comprising: a withering box 1, a drive motor 2 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the withering box 1, a rotating shaft 3 fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 2, a side surface of the rotating shaft 3 rotatably connected to the withering box 1, a rotating seat 4 fixedly connected to the side surface of the rotating shaft 3, the rotating seats 4 being multiple and linearly distributed, and a moving wheel 14 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the rotating seat 4. The moving wheel 14 moves along the inner wall of the bottom of the withering box 1 during the rotation of the rotating seat 4. Wheel 14 supports the rotating seat 4 and makes the rotation of the shaft 3 more stable. A bearing 15 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the shaft 3, and the upper surface of the bearing 15 is fixedly connected to the wilting box 1. The bearing 15 makes the rotation of the shaft 3 more stable. The rotating seat 4 has a first placement groove 5 and a first ventilation hole 6. A wilting basket 7 is placed on the inner surface of the first placement groove 5. A second placement groove 8 and a second ventilation hole 9 are provided inside the wilting basket 7. A ventilation hole 6 and a second ventilation hole 9 facilitate ventilation of the bottom of the tea leaves, thus enabling withering. A lifting plate 10 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the withering basket 7. A sliding groove 11 is provided inside the rotating base 4, and a slider 12 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the sliding groove 11. The side surface of the withering basket 7 is fixedly connected to the slider 12. After the tea leaves have withered, the withering basket 7 can be removed from the first placement slot 5 by lifting the lifting plate 10, and the slider 12 on the withering basket 7 leaves the sliding groove 11. This device can accelerate the withering of tea leaves. After withering, the tea leaves can be easily removed without the need for operators to pick them up bit by bit, thus improving the efficiency of tea leaf removal. The bottom inner wall of the second placement trough 8 is fixedly connected with an arc-shaped baffle 13. There are multiple arc-shaped baffles 13, and the diameter of the multiple arc-shaped baffles 13 decreases from the outside to the inside. When the withering basket 7 rotates, under the action of the arc-shaped baffles 13, it can prevent the tea leaves in the withering basket 7 from gathering to the edge of the withering basket 7 under the action of centrifugal force, thereby avoiding the accumulation of tea leaves at the edge of the withering basket 7 and thus accelerating the withering efficiency of the tea leaves.
[0025] The withering box 1 has a through hole 17 inside, and an air inlet pipe 18 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the through hole 17. After the air is heated by the air heating component (existing technology, application number CN202222351665.X), the hot air enters the withering box 1 through the air inlet pipe 18. A temperature sensor 16 is fixedly connected to the right inner wall of the withering box 1. The temperature sensor 16 is designed to measure the temperature inside the withering box 1. An air outlet pipe 19 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the withering box 1. A sliding door 21 is hinged inside the withering box 1. Tea leaves can be placed and taken out by opening the sliding door 21. An observation window 22 is provided inside the sliding door 21. The withering condition inside the withering box 1 can be observed through the observation window 22. A support column 20 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the withering box 1. The support column 20 is designed to support the device.
[0026] Working principle: When tea leaves need to be withered, the tea leaves are evenly placed in the second placement slot 8 on the withering basket 7. The tea leaves are separated by multiple arc-shaped baffles 13. The sliding door 21 is closed, and the withering hot air enters the withering box 1 through the air inlet pipe 18. The drive motor 2 is started to drive the rotating shaft 3, rotating seat 4, and withering basket 7 to rotate, which can accelerate the flow of hot air in the withering box 1, thereby accelerating the withering efficiency of the tea leaves. The rotation of the withering basket 7, under the action of the arc-shaped baffles 13, can prevent the tea leaves in the withering basket 7 from gathering to the edge of the withering basket 7 under the action of centrifugal force. After the tea leaves have withered, the withering basket 7 can be removed from the first placement slot 5 by the pick-up plate 10. The slider 12 on the withering basket 7 leaves the sliding groove 11. This device can conveniently remove the tea leaves after the tea leaves have been withered quickly, without the need for operators to pick up the tea leaves one by one, thus improving the efficiency of tea leaf removal. In addition, the arc-shaped baffles 13 reduce the gathering of tea leaves to the edge due to centrifugal force, preventing the tea leaves from accumulating at the edge of the withering basket 7, thereby accelerating the withering efficiency of the tea leaves.
[0027] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
