Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] The tea-making process includes a "rolling" step. After being squeezed and rolled, the tea cells are broken down, releasing tea juice containing various flavor compounds that adhere to the surface of the tea leaves. The tannins, enzymes, and catechins in this juice react with oxygen, producing the components that contribute to the tea's aroma. During brewing, this tea juice quickly dissolves into the tea liquor, enhancing the flavor. To further enhance the aroma and flavor of the tea, existing technologies utilize dedicated tea aromatherapy machines. These machines add aromatherapy liquid to the roasted tea leaves, further improving their fragrance. However, the roasting process causes the tea leaves to shrink and deform, making it difficult for existing equipment to ensure sufficient and even contact between the aromatherapy liquid and the leaves. This results in poor absorption and significant flavor variations between individual tea leaves from the same batch, leading to inconsistent flavor. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problem mentioned in the background art that existing equipment cannot fully contact tea leaves with tea aromatherapy liquid, a tea mixing and aromatherapy device is proposed. This device is equipped with a dedicated mixing unit that thoroughly agitates the tea leaves, ensuring that the tea aromatherapy liquid and tea leaves are evenly blended, thus guaranteeing a consistent and uniform flavor after aromatherapy.

[0004] This utility model discloses a tea mixing and aromatherapy device, comprising an outer cylinder, a mixing device, a power device, and a spraying structure. The outer cylinder is rotatably mounted on a frame and is hollow inside to accommodate the tea leaves to be processed. The outer cylinder is driven by the power device and has the ability to rotate around its own central axis. The spraying structure is located in the middle of the outer cylinder and has pipes for spraying tea aromatherapy liquid into the outer cylinder. The mixing device is rotatably mounted inside the outer cylinder and is driven by the power device. It has the ability to rotate coaxially with the outer cylinder and the two rotate in opposite directions. The mixing device has at least one follower output end, which periodically presses against the inner wall of the outer cylinder to agitate the tea leaves during the follower movement.

[0005] As a further improvement of this utility model, the mixing device is provided with two output ends, both of which are parallel to the rotation axis of the mixing device and are located on both sides of the rotation axis. The rotation radius of the output ends changes periodically when they follow the rotation of the mixing device. While following the rotation of the mixing device, the two output ends each perform a rotational motion in the same direction as the follower rotation.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, the mixing device includes a rotating shaft, a rotating frame, and a mixing roller; the two ends of the rotating shaft are rotatably connected to the center of the two end faces of the outer cylinder, and the middle part of the rotating frame is fixedly connected to the two ends of the rotating shaft, rotating together with the rotating shaft around the central axis of the outer cylinder; both ends of the rotating frame are slidably connected to telescopic rods, which have the ability to reciprocate and extend along the length of the rotating frame; the ends of the telescopic rods are rotatably connected to the mixing roller, and the central axis of the mixing roller is parallel to the central axis of the rotating shaft; when the telescopic rods extend to their limit position, the roller surface of the mixing roller abuts against the inner wall of the outer cylinder.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, when the telescopic rod rotates in the area below the horizontal plane where the rotating shaft is located, the telescopic rod moves in the direction of extending outward; when the telescopic rod rotates in the area above the horizontal plane where the rotating shaft is located, the telescopic rod moves in the direction of retracting inward.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, when the telescopic rod at one end of the rotating frame extends outward, the telescopic rod at the other end retracts inward, and the telescopic rods at both ends always maintain opposite telescopic movement directions.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, a flexible contact sleeve is provided around the outer periphery of the mixing roller, and a number of protrusions are spaced apart on the outer surface of the contact sleeve.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the spraying structure includes a liquid guide tube, a nozzle, and a liquid injection tank; the liquid injection tank is fixedly installed on the frame outside the outer cylinder and is used to hold the tea fragrance liquid; one end of the liquid guide tube is connected to the liquid injection tank, and the other end extends into the interior of the outer cylinder; the liquid guide tube inside the outer cylinder extends parallel to the central axis of the outer cylinder and is provided with several nozzles at intervals; the liquid injection tank has the ability to pressurize the tea fragrance liquid so as to drive the tea fragrance liquid from the nozzle on the liquid guide tube to spray into the tea inside the outer cylinder.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, the power unit includes a rotary motor and a hybrid motor; the rotary motor is fixedly mounted on the frame, and its output end is connected to the chain drive of the outer cylinder; the hybrid motor is fixedly mounted on the rotating connection end of the outer cylinder, and its output end is connected to the rotating end of the mixing device for transmission.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] When the mixing roller of this invention rotates below the horizontal plane of the rotating shaft, it can approach and abut against the inner wall of the outer cylinder, thus contacting the tea leaves that have accumulated at the bottom due to gravity along the movement path. This applies pressure to the tea leaves, allowing the tea aroma liquid to penetrate into the interior of the tea leaves under the pressure. Furthermore, by utilizing the counter-rotating rotation of the mixing roller and the outer cylinder, as well as its independent rotation, the tea leaves can be turned over and rotated thoroughly, ensuring that every side of the tea leaves is soaked in the tea aroma liquid. When the mixing roller rotates above the horizontal plane of the rotating shaft, it can move away from the inner wall of the outer cylinder, no longer pressing the tea leaves against the inner cylinder wall. Combined with the independent rotation of the mixing roller, the tea leaves can be driven and lifted from the wall towards the center of the outer cylinder, simulating the lifting and shaking action of manual turning. This allows the tea leaves to better contact the tea aroma liquid dispersed in the cylinder. Compared with the simple mixing of existing equipment that only turns the tea leaves by rotating the outer cylinder, this invention has the advantages of higher mixing efficiency and more thorough mixing, ensuring the uniformity of the tea flavor after aromatherapy.

[0022] Specific Implementation Example 1: Please refer to the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 7

[0023] A tea-blending incense device includes a frame, an outer cylinder 1, a mixing device 2, a rotary motor 41, a mixing motor 42, and a spraying structure 3.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the outer cylinder 1 is horizontally positioned with its central axis, and both ends of the outer cylinder 1 are rotatably connected to the frame. A controllable feed port is located in the center of the outer cylinder 1's circumference for feeding material into the cylinder or discharging material out of the cylinder. A rotary motor 41 is fixedly mounted on the frame below the outer cylinder 1. Both the right end of the outer cylinder 1 and the motor shaft of the rotary motor 41 are equipped with sprockets, which are connected by a chain for transmission.

[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the mixing device 2 is located inside the outer cylinder 1 and includes a rotating shaft 201, a rotating frame 202, and a mixing roller 203. The rotating shaft 201 is located at the central axis of the outer cylinder 1, and both ends of the rotating shaft 201 extend to the outside of the outer cylinder 1, and both ends of the rotating shaft 201 are rotatably connected to the frame. The mixing motor 42 is fixedly installed on the left side of the frame, and the motor shaft of the mixing motor 42 is connected to the left end of the rotating shaft 201 for transmission. At the left and right ends of the rotating shaft 201 located inside the outer cylinder 1, rotating frames 202 extending to both sides are formed along the radial direction of the outer cylinder 1, and the two rotating frames 202 are parallel to each other. Each rotating frame 202 has two independent telescopic rods 2021 at both ends, and the telescopic rods 2021 are located at the center of the end of the rotating frame 202 and are arranged along the extension direction of the rotating frame 202. Each telescopic rod 2021 is connected to a pusher cylinder at the end near the rotating frame 202, and the telescopic rod 2021 is driven by the pusher cylinder to perform independent reciprocating telescopic movements. A mixing roller 203 is rotatably connected between telescopic rods 2021 located on different rotating frames 202 and on the same side. The central axis of the mixing roller 203 is parallel to the central axis of the rotating shaft 201. Rolling motors are installed at both ends of the mixing roller 203, and these motors can drive the mixing roller 203 to rotate around its central axis. Further, as... Figure 7 As shown, a contact sleeve 2031 is fitted on the roller surface of the mixing roller 203. The contact sleeve 2031 is made of flexible material, and protrusions are made on the outer surface of the contact sleeve 2031. Each protrusion is spaced apart from each other to form a gap.

[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the spray structure 3 includes a liquid guide pipe 301, a nozzle 302, and a liquid injection tank 303. The liquid injection tank 303 is fixedly mounted on the frame on the left side of the outer cylinder 1, and the cavity inside the liquid injection tank 303 contains tea aromatherapy liquid. The liquid guide pipe 301 passes through the rotating shaft 201, with one end extending from the left end of the rotating shaft 201 located outside the outer cylinder 1 and connecting to the liquid injection tank 303, and the other end extending radially from the portion of the rotating shaft 201 located inside the outer cylinder 1. Figure 5As shown, the liquid guide pipe 301 is located at the radially protruding end inside the outer cylinder 1, and is connected to a section of the liquid guide pipe 301 parallel to the central axis of the rotating shaft 201. A nozzle 302 is installed on this section of the liquid guide pipe 301, and the spatial position of this section of the liquid guide pipe 301 is between the mixing roller 203 and the rotating shaft 201, rotating along with the rotating shaft 201. The liquid injection tank 303 has the ability to pressurize the internal tea fragrance liquid, driving the tea fragrance liquid to be transported through the liquid guide pipe 301 and sprayed out from the nozzle 302 to spray the tea inside the outer cylinder 1.

[0027] At work, such as Figure 3 As shown, the outer cylinder 1 rotates clockwise under the drive of the rotary motor 41. The tea leaves put into the outer cylinder 1 accumulate in the lower space of the cylinder due to gravity. Driven by the rotation of the outer cylinder 1, the tea pile tends to be continuously transported and lifted towards the left wall. After being transported and lifted, the tea pile collapses back into the lower space of the cylinder due to gravity. This cycle repeats, thus turning the tea pile. The mixing device 2 rotates counterclockwise under the drive of the mixing motor 42. Both mixing rollers 203 rotate counterclockwise around their own central axis. When the mixing rollers 203 rotate, they come into contact with the tea pile. The mixing rollers 203 push the tea pile against the rotation of the outer cylinder 1 and push it towards the right wall. After being transported and lifted to the right, the tea pile is driven by the rotation of the mixing rollers 203 to detach from the wall and be thrown towards the rotating shaft 201, completing a turning action similar to manual tea frying, so that the tea pile is fully turned and evenly mixed with the sprayed tea fragrance liquid.

[0028] In particular, such as Figure 6 As shown, in state 1 at the top left corner of the figure, the mixing roller 203(a) is located above the horizontal plane where the rotating shaft 201 is located, and the mixing roller 203(a) moves towards the side closer to the rotating shaft 201 along with the telescopic rod 2021 when rotating; the mixing roller 203(b) is located below the horizontal plane where the rotating shaft 201 is located, and the mixing roller 203(b) moves away from the rotating shaft 201 along with the telescopic rod 2021 when rotating. Figure 6 In state 2 (top right corner), the telescopic rod 2021 extends outward to its limit position, and the tea leaves are pressed against the cylinder wall by the contact sleeve 2031, undergoing rotational squeezing to complete an action similar to manual kneading. This allows the wrinkled and deformed tea leaves to absorb the tea fragrance liquid from their surface into the interior. Figure 6As shown in state 3 at the bottom right and state 4 at the bottom left, when the mixing roller 203(b) continues to rotate until it reaches the horizontal plane where the rotating shaft 201 is located, the telescopic rod 2021 connected to it reverses its direction of movement and retracts towards the rotating shaft 201, so that the tea leaves pressed against the roller surface of the mixing roller 203(b) can be smoothly thrown out; when the mixing roller 203(a) continues to rotate until it reaches the horizontal plane where the rotating shaft 201 is located, the telescopic rod 2021 connected to it reverses its direction of movement and extends away from the rotating shaft 201, so as to gradually press the tea leaves against the cylinder wall and fully absorb the tea fragrance liquid. The two mixing rollers 203 perform periodic alternation movements in the manner described above to ensure the uniformity of the tea fragrance.

All variations, modifications and substitutions within the spirit and principle of the present design are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
