Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing technology, specifically to a withering device for white tea processing. Background Technology

[0002] Withering, also known as wilting, involves spreading fresh leaves evenly under specific temperature and humidity conditions. This process moderately promotes the activity of enzymes in the leaves, causing appropriate physical and chemical changes in their internal substances. Some moisture is released, resulting in wilting of the stems and leaves, a dark green color, and the loss of their grassy aroma. White tea requires withering during processing to improve its quality. However, existing withering equipment typically places the tea leaves inside a container and uses hot air to wither them. To ensure sufficient circulation time of the hot air inside the container, the internal space is usually quite large, making it inconvenient for users to remove the tea leaves and easily causing damage.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention provides a withering device for white tea processing, including a withering box 1 and a base plate 2. The withering box 1 is located on top of the base plate 2. A through groove 3 is opened at the bottom of the withering box 1. A placement box 4 is movably connected to the inner wall of the through groove 3. Supporting mechanisms 5 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the top of the base plate 2. A hot air mechanism 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the withering box 1.

[0020] refer to Figure 3 The support mechanism 5 includes a slide rod 51, the other end of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the withering box 1. Support plates 52 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the placement box 4. The inner wall of the support plate 52 is slidably connected to the surface of the slide rod 51. Support springs 53 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the top of the bottom plate 2. The other end of the support spring 53 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 52. The inner wall of the support spring 53 is movably connected to the surface of the slide rod 51.

[0021] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a support mechanism 5, the sliding rod 51 can support the withering box 1. At the same time, the sliding rod 51 can limit the front, back and left and right movements of the support plate 52 and the placement box 4, which can improve the stability of the up and down movement of the placement box 4. The support spring 53 can make the placement box 4 return to its original position after movement.

[0022] refer to Figure 1 The hot air mechanism 6 includes a connecting cover 61. A mounting bracket 62 is fixedly connected to the left side of the withering box 1. A blower 63 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting bracket 62. The output end of the blower 63 is connected to an air supply pipe 64. The other end of the air supply pipe 64 is connected to the top of the connecting cover 61.

[0023] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting up a hot air mechanism 6, the mounting bracket 62 can fix and limit the blower 63. By starting the blower 63, the generated air force can enter the interior of the connecting cover 61 and the withering box 1 through the air supply pipe 64.

[0024] refer to Figure 2 The inner wall of the connecting cover 61 is fixedly installed with heating wires 7. Several heating wires 7 are arranged at equal intervals, and six grid plates 8 are provided on the top of the heating wires 7.

[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting up an electric heating wire 7 and a grid plate 8, the wind blown towards the withering box 1 can be turned into hot air by activating the electric heating wire 7, and the grid plate 8 can improve the uniformity of the wind blowing into the withering box 1.

[0026] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 A handle 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement box 4, and a support rod 10 is fixedly connected to the left side of the inner wall of the connecting cover 61. The other end of the support rod 10 passes through the grid plate 8 and is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the connecting cover 61. The support rod 10 is fixedly connected to the grid plate 8.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a handle 9 and a support rod 10, the handle 9 makes it easy for the user to pull the placement box 4 downward, and the support rod 10 can fix and limit the grid plate 8.

[0028] refer to Figure 2 Inclined plates 11 are fixedly connected to the top of the left and right sides of the inner wall of the withering box 1. Ventilation holes 12 are provided on the top of the left and right sides of the withering box 1. Several ventilation holes 12 are provided and are distributed at equal intervals.

[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the inclined plate 11 and the ventilation hole 12, the inclined plate 11 can make the hot air blow into the placement box 4 as much as possible, and can prevent the hot air from blowing directly to the outside through the ventilation hole 12. The ventilation hole 12 facilitates the passage of water vapor generated by the withering of tea leaves to the outside.

[0030] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When it is necessary to wither white tea, first pull down the handle 9 to move the placement box 4 downwards. At this time, the placement box 4 moves the support plate 52 downwards to squeeze the support spring 53. Then, place the tea leaves evenly inside the placement box 4, release the handle 9, and let the support spring 53 stretch and return to its original position, pushing the support plate 52 and the placement box 4 back to their original positions. Then, start the blower 63 and the heating wire 7, so that the air force blows through the air supply pipe 64 into the connecting cover 61. The grid plate 8 can improve the uniformity of the air force blown into the withering box 1. The blower 63 can generate hot air through the heating wire 7 and blow it into the placement box 4. The ventilation hole 12 facilitates the venting of the water vapor generated by the withering of the tea leaves to the outside. After processing is completed, the user can turn off the heating wire 7 and the blower 63, and pull down the handle 9 to pull the placement box 4 out of the withering box 1, so that the user can easily collect the processed tea leaves. It is convenient to use.

[0031] In summary, this withering device for white tea processing, by setting up a through groove 3 and a placement box 4, with the placement box 4 used to place the tea to be processed, and the through groove 3 facilitating the up-and-down movement of the placement box 4, solves the problem that existing withering devices usually place the tea inside a container and wither it by blowing hot air. In order to ensure the circulation time of the hot air inside the container, the internal space of the container is usually set to be large, which is often troublesome for users to take out the tea and is easy to damage the tea.
