Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing technology, specifically to a circulating roasting device for Lu'an Melon Seed tea with a flipping function. Background Technology
[0002] Lu'an Melon Seed Tea, a traditional Chinese historical tea and one of China's top ten famous teas, is also known as Guapian or Piancha. It is produced in the Dabie Mountains area of Lu'an City, Anhui Province. During the Tang Dynasty, it was called "Luzhou Lu'an Tea" and was a famous tea. During the Ming Dynasty, it was called "Lu'an Melon Seed Tea" and was considered a superior and top-grade tea. During the Qing Dynasty, it was a tribute tea for the imperial court.
[0003] Traditional Lu'an Melon Seed tea roasting mainly relies on manual stirring or static roasting equipment, which has the following problems: Traditional manual stirring depends on experienced tea farmers, which is labor-intensive, inefficient, and human factors make it difficult to control the uniformity of roasting, resulting in unstable product quality; while using static roasting, the tea leaves are in a relatively static state during the roasting process, resulting in uneven heating. The tea leaves near the heat source are prone to scorching, while the parts away from the heat source may not be fully roasted, causing a decline in quality. Therefore, a circulating roasting device for Lu'an Melon Seed tea with a flipping function is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

It has the advantages of being easy to use and solves the problems of traditional manual roasting, which relies on experienced tea farmers, is labor-intensive and inefficient, and human factors make it difficult to control the uniformity of roasting and the product quality is unstable. In contrast, in static roasting, the tea leaves are in a relatively static state during the roasting process, resulting in uneven heating. Tea leaves near the heat source are prone to scorching, while those far from the heat source may not be fully roasted, causing a decline in quality.
[0006] (II) Technical Solution
[0007] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A circulating baking device for Lu'an melon seed tea with a flipping function includes a base frame, the base frame is provided with a bearing component, the bearing component is movably connected to a sliding component, the base frame is provided with a driving component connected to the sliding component, the driving component is provided with a driving motor, the sliding component is provided with a fixed frame, the fixed frame is movably connected to a driving component, the fixed frame is provided with a flipping component that is transmissionally connected to the driving component, and the base frame is provided with a baking oven adapted to the flipping component.
[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0009] This circulating baking device for Lu'an melon seed tea with a flipping function allows the Lu'an melon seed tea to be baked to be placed inside the flipping component. The drive motor then rotates back and forth, causing the drive component to rotate back and forth as well. This pulls the sliding component to slide above the support component until the drive component contacts the support component, thus pushing the drive component and the flipping component to move relative to each other. This causes the flipping component to rotate, enabling the Lu'an melon seed tea to be baked and flipped above the baking oven. This improves baking uniformity and efficiency, reduces manual intervention costs, and ensures stable baking quality.
[0010] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.
[0011] Furthermore, the load-bearing component includes a load-bearing slide rail and a fixing block, the base frame is provided with a load-bearing slide rail, and the load-bearing slide rail is provided with a fixing block.
[0012] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the bearing slide rail provides a straight sliding track for the sliding block, ensuring the accurate movement trajectory of the sliding component; the fixed block acts as the fulcrum of the pushing block, triggering the flipping action of the component when the sliding component moves to a specific position, realizing the coordinated work of baking and flipping.
[0013] Furthermore, the sliding assembly includes a sliding block and a connecting block. The sliding block is movably connected to the bearing slide rail, the sliding block is provided with a connecting block, and the connecting block is provided with a fixing frame that is symmetrically distributed front and back.
[0014] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the cooperation between the sliding block and the bearing slide rail enables horizontal movement, and the fixed frame on the connecting block synchronously drives the flipping component to enter and exit the baking oven. The symmetrical design of the fixed frame at the front and rear allows the baking chambers on both sides to alternately bake and flip, improving production efficiency.
[0015] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a take-up seat, a take-up reel, a take-up cable, and a synchronization component. The base frame is provided with take-up seats that are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides. Each take-up seat is movably connected to a take-up reel. A take-up cable is provided between each take-up reel and an adjacent sliding block. The take-up reels are provided with the same synchronization component. The take-up seat is provided with a drive motor whose output end is connected to the take-up reel.
[0016] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the drive motor drives the winding wheel to rotate, which in turn pulls the sliding block through the winding cable. The synchronous pulley and synchronous belt of the synchronization component ensure that the winding wheels on both sides move synchronously, preventing the sliding component from tilting and ensuring that the baking chamber is accurately positioned above the baking oven.
[0017] Furthermore, the synchronization component includes a synchronization pulley and a synchronization belt. Each of the take-up pulleys is provided with a synchronization pulley that extends to the outside of the take-up seat and is mutually adapted. Each of the synchronization pulleys is fitted with the same synchronization belt.
[0018] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the synchronous belt connects the synchronous pulleys on both sides, so that the power of the drive motor is evenly transmitted to the winding pulleys on both sides, ensuring that the left and right sides of the sliding component move synchronously, avoiding jamming or deviation due to uneven force, and improving the operational stability of the device.
[0019] Furthermore, the driving assembly includes a connecting assembly, a driving plate, a driving rack, and a pushing block. The fixed frame is movably connected to the connecting assembly. The connecting assembly is provided with driving plates that are symmetrically distributed front and back. Each driving plate is provided with a driving rack that is symmetrically distributed left and right. Each driving plate is provided with a pushing block that is symmetrically distributed left and right and adapted to the fixed block.
[0020] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that when the pushing block contacts the fixed block, it drives the plate to rotate around the connecting pin, which in turn drives the rack to move linearly. The meshing of the rack and the flipping gear converts the linear motion into rotational motion, realizing the 30° rotation of the baking chamber, so that the melon slices are heated evenly during the baking process.
[0021] Furthermore, the connecting assembly includes a connecting pin and a connecting seat, the fixing frame is movably connected to the connecting pin, and each connecting pin is provided with a connecting seat whose other end is connected to the driving plate.
[0022] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the movable connection between the connecting pin and the fixed frame provides a rotation fulcrum for the drive plate, and the connecting seat ensures that the drive plate and the drive rack move synchronously. This structure allows the flipping action to be triggered only when the sliding component reaches a specific position, realizing the timing control of baking and flipping.
[0023] Furthermore, the flipping assembly includes a flipping shaft, a flipping gear, and a baking chamber. The fixed frame is movably connected to the flipping shafts that are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides, and the same baking chamber is provided on the opposite side of the flipping shaft on the same side.
[0024] The advantages of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are that the rotating shaft supports the rotation of the baking chamber, and the cooperation between the rotating gear and the drive rack achieves precise control of the rotating angle. The symmetrical design of the double-sided rotating shaft ensures the stability of the baking chamber during the rotating process and prevents the chips from spilling.
[0025] Furthermore, the baking chamber is configured with a mesh structure.
[0026] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are that the mesh structure increases the hot air circulation area, ensuring uniform heating of the melon slices. During the turning process, the mesh channels allow crumbs to fall off, preventing scorching and affecting quality. At the same time, the mesh structure reduces the weight of the baking chamber, lowers the load on the drive components, and improves energy efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0032] 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.
[0033] In the embodiments, by Figure 1-4 The present invention provides a circulating baking device for Lu'an melon seed tea with a flipping function. The present invention includes a base frame 1, a supporting component 2, a sliding component 3 movably connected to the supporting component 2, a driving component 4 connected to the sliding component 3, a driving motor 5, a fixed frame 6 for the sliding component 3, a driving component 7 movably connected to the fixed frame 6, a flipping component 8 for the fixed frame 6 and a baking oven 101 adapted to the flipping component 8.
[0034] The support component 2 includes a support slide rail 21 and a fixing block 22. The base frame 1 is provided with a support slide rail 21, and the support slide rail 21 is provided with a fixing block 22.
[0035] The support slide rail 21 provides a straight sliding track for the sliding block 31, ensuring the precise movement trajectory of the sliding component 3; the fixed block 22 serves as the fulcrum of the push block 74, triggering the flipping action of the component 7 when the sliding component 3 moves to a specific position, realizing the coordinated work of baking and flipping;
[0036] The sliding component 3 includes a sliding block 31 and a connecting block 32. The sliding block 31 is movably connected to the bearing slide rail 21. The sliding block 31 is provided with the connecting block 32. The connecting block 32 is provided with a fixed frame 6 that is symmetrically distributed front and back.
[0037] The sliding block 31 and the supporting slide rail 21 cooperate to achieve horizontal movement, and the fixed frame 6 on the connecting block 32 synchronously drives the flipping component 8 to enter and exit the baking oven 101. The symmetrical design of the fixed frame 6 at the front and rear allows the baking chambers 83 on both sides to alternately bake and flip, improving production efficiency;
[0038] The drive assembly 4 includes a take-up base 41, a take-up reel 42, a take-up cable 43, and a synchronization assembly 44. The base frame 1 is provided with take-up bases 41 that are symmetrically distributed on the left and right. Each take-up base 41 is movably connected to a take-up reel 42. Each take-up reel 42 is provided with a take-up cable 43 between it and an adjacent sliding block 31. The same synchronization assembly 44 is provided between the take-up reels 42. The take-up base 41 is provided with a drive motor 5 whose output end is connected to the take-up reel 42.
[0039] The drive motor 5 drives the take-up reel 42 to rotate, which pulls the sliding block 31 through the take-up cable 43. The synchronous pulley 441 and synchronous belt 442 of the synchronous assembly 44 ensure that the take-up reels 42 on both sides move synchronously, prevent the sliding assembly 3 from tilting, and ensure that the baking chamber 83 is accurately positioned above the baking oven 101.
[0040] The synchronization assembly 44 includes a synchronization pulley 441 and a synchronization belt 442. Each of the take-up pulleys 42 is provided with a synchronization pulley 441 that extends to the outside of the take-up seat 41 and is adapted to each other. Each of the synchronization pulleys 441 is fitted with the same synchronization belt 442.
[0041] The timing belt 442 connects the timing pulleys 441 on both sides, so that the power of the drive motor 5 is evenly transmitted to the winding pulleys 42 on both sides, ensuring that the left and right sides of the sliding component 3 move synchronously, avoiding jamming or displacement due to uneven force, and improving the stability of the device operation.
[0042] The drive assembly 7 includes a connecting assembly 71, a drive plate 72, a drive rack 73, and a push block 74. The fixed frame 6 is movably connected to the connecting assembly 71. The connecting assembly 71 is provided with drive plates 72 that are symmetrically distributed front and back. Each drive plate 72 is provided with drive racks 73 that are symmetrically distributed left and right. Each drive plate 72 is provided with push blocks 74 that are symmetrically distributed left and right and adapted to the fixed block 22.
[0043] When the pushing block 74 contacts the fixed block 22, it drives the plate 72 to rotate around the connecting pin 711, causing the rack 73 to move linearly. The meshing of the rack 73 with the flip gear 82 converts the linear motion into rotational motion, realizing the 180° rotation of the baking chamber 83, so that the melon slices are heated evenly during the baking process;
[0044] The connecting component 71 includes a connecting pin 711 and a connecting seat 712. The fixing frame 6 is movably connected to the connecting pin 711, and each connecting pin 711 is provided with a connecting seat 712 at the other end connected to the driving plate 72.
[0045] The movable connection between the connecting pin 711 and the fixed frame 6 provides a fulcrum for the rotation of the drive plate 72, and the connecting seat 712 ensures that the drive plate 72 and the drive rack 73 move synchronously. This structure allows the flipping action to be triggered only when the sliding component 3 reaches a specific position, achieving timing control of baking and flipping.
[0046] The flipping assembly 8 includes a flipping shaft 81, a flipping gear 82, and a baking chamber 83. The fixing frame 6 is movably connected to the flipping shaft 81, which is symmetrically distributed on the left and right. The same baking chamber 83 is provided on the opposite side of the flipping shaft 81 on the same side.
[0047] The rotating shaft 81 supports the rotation of the baking chamber 83, and the cooperation between the rotating gear 82 and the drive rack 73 achieves precise control of the rotating angle. The symmetrical design of the double-sided rotating shaft 81 ensures the stability of the baking chamber 83 during the rotating process and prevents the chips from spilling.
[0048] The baking chamber 83 is designed with a mesh structure.
[0049] The mesh structure increases the surface area for hot air circulation, ensuring even heating of the melon slices. During the turning process, the mesh channels allow crumbs to fall off, preventing scorching and affecting quality. Simultaneously, the mesh structure reduces the weight of the baking chamber (83), lowers the load on the drive components (4), and improves energy efficiency.
[0050] Working principle:
[0051] Step 1: First, place the Lu'an Melon Seed cakes to be baked into the baking chamber 83. After the drive motor 5 starts, it drives the winding wheel 42 to rotate, and the winding cable 43 winds up and down accordingly, pulling the sliding block 31 to make linear reciprocating motion on the carrying slide rail 21. The synchronization component 44 ensures that the winding wheels 42 on both sides rotate synchronously through the synchronization wheel 441 and the synchronization belt 442, preventing the sliding component 3 from tilting. The sliding block 31 drives the fixed frame 6 and the baking chamber 83 installed on it to move along the direction of the baking oven 101 through the connecting block 32.
[0052] Step 2: When the sliding component 3 moves to a specific position, the pushing block 74 of the driving component 7 contacts the fixed block 22 and generates relative displacement. The pushing block 74 forces the driving plate 72 to rotate around the connecting pin 711, causing the rack 73 to move linearly. The rack 73 meshes with the flip gear 82, driving the flip shaft 81 to rotate the baking chamber 83 180°, thus flipping the melon slices.
[0053] Step 3: The mesh structure of the baking chamber 83 allows hot air to circulate within the chamber, directly contacting the surface of the melon slices. During the tumbling process, crumbs fall through the mesh into the collection device, preventing burnt bits from getting into the finished product. The lightweight mesh design reduces the load on the drive component 4, lowering the motor power requirement by 20%.
