Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tea processing equipment, specifically a mechanical three-speed tea frying pan. Background Technology

[0002] Tea leaves are the leaves or buds of the tea plant. After being picked and processed, they can be used to make tea.

[0003] The processing of fresh tea leaves generally involves several steps: picking fresh leaves, withering, fixing (frying), rolling, fermentation (applicable to black tea, oolong tea, etc.), and drying. Among these, frying (fixing) is a very important step. Fixing destroys and deactivates the oxidase activity in the fresh leaves by using high temperatures, preventing the oxidation of polyphenols and the leaves from turning red. At the same time, it causes certain components in the leaves to change under high temperatures, forming the unique aroma of tea.

[0004] Stir-frying tea, a common method of fixing the green state, has the following key points: temperature control, time management, stirring technique, and judgment of the degree of fixing. Among these, the stirring technique, including both manual and mechanical fixing, must ensure that the tea leaves are heated evenly and that the stirring is done with appropriate pressure to avoid breaking the leaves. Currently available tea-stirring pans have some shortcomings in stirring the tea leaves; for example, uneven stirring. Compared to manual stirring, some mechanical tea-stirring equipment, while improving efficiency, lacks the flexibility of manual stirring and cannot accurately simulate the effect of manual stirring, resulting in uneven stirring.

The rotating rod is inclined and has an arc-shaped frying plate fixedly mounted at its bottom end. The arc-shaped frying plate is in contact with the inner wall of the tea frying pan.

[0008] A cabinet is fixedly installed on the frame, and a horizontal plate is fixedly installed on the cabinet. A mechanical component is installed on the horizontal plate. The mechanical component cooperates with the rotating rod. When the mechanical component is running, the rotating rod will rotate on its own axis and revolve around the central axis of the tea frying pan, thereby driving the arc-shaped frying plate to stir-fry the tea leaves evenly.

[0009] The cabinet and the horizontal plate are equipped with a drive mechanism, which is connected to the mechanical component. When the drive mechanism is running, the mechanical component will follow the movement.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model:

[0020] A gear is coaxially fixed to the outer wall of the transmission rod, and a gear ring is coaxially fixed to the outer wall of the rotary seat. The gear and the gear ring mesh with each other.

[0021] As a further improvement of this utility model:

[0022] A first transmission wheel is coaxially fixed to the outer wall of the transmission rod, and a second transmission wheel is coaxially fixed to the top of the rotating shaft. The first transmission wheel and the second transmission wheel are connected by a belt.

[0023] A bracket is fixedly installed on the cabinet, and a drive rod is vertically rotatably connected between the bracket and the cabinet.

During the operation of the mechanical components, the rotating rod will rotate on its own axis and revolve around the central axis of the tea frying pan. Since the rotating rod is inclined and the arc-shaped frying plate fixed at its bottom is in contact with the inner wall of the tea frying pan, the rotating rod will drive the arc-shaped frying plate to stir-fry the tea leaves in the tea frying pan evenly. Furthermore, the driving mechanism can adjust the stirring speed of the arc-shaped frying plate to adapt to the stirring requirements of different types of tea.

[0029] This application, through the cooperation between the rotating rod, the arc-shaped frying plate, the mechanical components and the drive mechanism, not only makes the frying method flexible and well simulates the effect of manual frying, but also makes the frying of tea more even, ensures that the tea is heated evenly, and makes the frying appropriate in terms of lightness and heaviness, so as to avoid the tea breaking.

The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0040] Please see Figures 1-7 In this embodiment of the utility model, a mechanical three-speed tea frying pan includes a frame 1, a tea frying pan 2, and a rotating rod 3. The tea frying pan 2 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1. The rotating rod 3 is inclined and has an arc-shaped frying plate 4 fixedly mounted at its bottom end. The arc-shaped frying plate 4 is in contact with the inner wall of the tea frying pan 2.

[0041] A cabinet 5 is fixedly installed on the frame 1. A horizontal plate 6 is fixedly installed on the cabinet 5. A mechanical component is installed on the horizontal plate 6. The mechanical component cooperates with the rotating rod 3. When the mechanical component is running, the rotating rod 3 will rotate on its own axis and revolve around the central axis of the tea frying pan 2, thereby driving the arc-shaped frying plate 4 to stir-fry the tea leaves evenly.

[0042] The cabinet 5 and the horizontal plate 6 are equipped with a drive mechanism, which is connected to the mechanical component. When the drive mechanism is running, the mechanical component will follow the movement.

[0043] In this solution, the mechanical components will operate under the drive mechanism. During the operation of the mechanical components, the rotating rod 3 will rotate on its own axis and revolve around the central axis of the tea frying pan 2. Since the rotating rod 3 is inclined and the arc-shaped frying plate 4 fixed at its bottom is in contact with the inner wall of the tea frying pan 2, the rotating rod 3 will drive the arc-shaped frying plate 4 to stir-fry the tea leaves in the tea frying pan 2 evenly. Furthermore, the driving mechanism can adjust the stirring speed of the arc-shaped frying plate 4 to adapt to the stirring requirements of different types of tea.

[0044] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the mechanical component includes a rotating base 7 and a spherical locking block 8. The rotating base 7 is rotatably mounted on the horizontal plate 6, and the spherical locking block 8 is coaxially fixed to the rotating rod 3.

[0045] The inside of the rotating base 7 is provided with a spherical groove 701, and the spherical block 8 is rolled and fitted into the spherical groove 701;

[0046] The inner wall of the spherical slot 701 is uniformly and fixedly provided with a plurality of first teeth 7011 along the circumference, and the outer wall of the spherical block 8 is uniformly and fixedly provided with a plurality of second teeth 801 along the circumference. The plurality of second teeth 801 mesh with the plurality of first teeth 7011.

A turntable 12 is coaxially fixedly mounted on the bottom of the rotating shaft 11. An eccentric groove 1201 is provided at the bottom of the turntable 12. A ball bearing 13 is rolled and fitted at the top of the rotating rod 3. The ball bearing 13 is also rolled and fitted in the eccentric groove 1201.

[0049] In this embodiment, since the spherical locking block 8, which is coaxially fixed on the rotating rod 3, is rolled and fitted into the spherical locking groove 701 inside the rotating seat 7, the rotating rod 3 can move arbitrarily on the rotating seat 7 through the interaction between the spherical locking block 8 and the spherical locking groove 701.

[0050] Furthermore, since the top of the rotating rod 3 is fitted with a ball bearing 13, and the ball bearing 13 is also fitted with an eccentric groove 1201 at the bottom of the turntable 12, and the rotating rod 3 is inclined, when the turntable 12 rotates, the rotating rod 3 will revolve around the vertical central axis of the spherical block 8.

[0051] Since the L-shaped frame 10 is vertically rotatably mounted with a rotating shaft 11, and the turntable 12 is coaxially fixed with the bottom of the rotating shaft 11, the turntable 12 will rotate along with the rotating shaft 11 when the rotating shaft 11 rotates.

[0052] Furthermore, because the multiple second teeth 801 uniformly fixed along the circumference of the outer wall of the spherical block 8 mesh with the multiple first teeth 7011 uniformly fixed along the circumference of the inner wall of the spherical slot 701, when the rotating seat 7 rotates, the spherical block 8 will drive the rotating rod 3 to rotate.

[0053] Since the interior of the horizontal plate 6 is provided with a first groove 601, and the outer wall of the rotating seat 7 is provided with a second groove 702 along the circumference, and multiple steel balls 9 are rolled and embedded between the first groove 601 and the second groove 702, the rotating seat 7 is rotatably mounted on the horizontal plate 6.

[0056] In this embodiment, since the gear 15 fixed on the transmission rod 14 and the gear ring 16 coaxially fixed on the outer wall of the rotary seat 7 mesh with each other, the rotary seat 7 will rotate when the transmission rod 14 rotates.

[0057] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a first transmission wheel 17 is coaxially fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the transmission rod 14, and a second transmission wheel 18 is coaxially fixedly disposed on the top of the rotating shaft 11.

The first sprocket 22 and the second sprocket 23 are connected by a chain 24.

[0059] In this embodiment, since the first transmission wheel 17 fixed on the transmission rod 14 and the second transmission wheel 18 fixed on the rotating shaft 11 are connected by a belt 19, the rotating shaft 11 will rotate when the transmission rod 14 rotates.

[0060] Since the first sprocket 22 fixed on the drive rod 21 and the second sprocket 23 fixed on the transmission rod 14 are connected by a chain 24, the transmission rod 14 will rotate when the drive rod 21 rotates.

[0061] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a motor 25 is fixedly installed inside the cabinet 5, and the output end of the motor 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drive rod 21.

[0062] A control switch 26 is fixedly installed on the cabinet 5, and the control switch 26 is electrically connected to the motor 25.

[0063] In this embodiment, since the output end of the motor 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drive rod 21, when the motor 25 is started, the output end of the motor 25 will drive the drive rod 21 to rotate.

[0064] Since the control switch 26 is electrically connected to the motor 25, the speed of the motor 25 can be adjusted by controlling the switch 26, thereby achieving different stirring speeds.

[0065] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
