Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tea processing, specifically to a tea withering rack with a uniform spreading mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Withering is a crucial step in tea processing. Withering allows for the appropriate evaporation of moisture, causing the tea leaves' cells to lose some water, triggering a series of chemical changes that lay the foundation for subsequent processing steps and directly impact the quality of the tea. Existing tea withering racks require uniformity and a certain thickness for spreading the tea leaves, but when the tray contains a large amount of tea, the excess leaves need to be manually removed after spreading, which is quite cumbersome.
[0003] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a tea withering rack with a uniform spreading mechanism to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a tea withering rack with a uniform spreading mechanism.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A tea withering rack with a uniform spreading mechanism, comprising:
[0007] Erecting the frame;
[0008] The trays are arranged in multiples, each horizontally with grooves on its upper surface, and vertically staggered between the vertical frames at equal intervals.
[0009] A rectangular frame, located above the edge of the upper surface of the tray, forms a barrier for the tea leaves. A vertical plate is fixedly installed on the top of the rectangular frame. A side panel with a thickness less than that of the rectangular frame is fixed to the side of the vertical plate facing the groove of the vertical frame and the adjacent side of the top of the rectangular frame. A horizontally movable area for spreading the tea leaves is formed between the vertical plate and the side panel.
[0010] L-shaped panels are located on the side of the pallet away from the vertical panels. Two sets are fixedly installed, and a strip passage is formed between the tops of the two L-shaped panels in the same set for the passage of the surrounding panels and rectangular frames.
[0011] When the rectangular frame is stretched out, the upper vertical panels and side panels carry the tea leaves to the other side and fall into the lower vertical panels and side panels.
[0012] Preferably, when the rectangular frame is located directly above the top edge of the tray, the L-shaped plate inside the rectangular frame contacts the two sides of the inner corner of the rectangular frame.
[0013] Preferably, the enclosure is configured as a triangular structure, and the width of the enclosure at the pointed corner facing the L-shaped plate is less than the width between the tops of the two L-shaped plates.
[0014] Preferably, the side of the groove closest to the vertical plate and the opposite side of that side are set as inclined surfaces, and the inclined surfaces are used to guide the tea leaves as they slide out.
[0015] Preferably, the vertical frame and the tray are rotatably connected by a pivot, which extends out of the vertical frame and has a sliding rod that can lock the tray.
[0016] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0017] 1. The rectangular frame is located above the edge of the upper surface of the tray, forming a barrier for the tea leaves during the withering process to prevent them from falling.
[0018] 2. When spreading tea leaves using a rectangular frame, the upper vertical and side panels move the tea leaves to the other side and fall into the lower vertical and side panels, achieving even spreading of multiple layers of tea leaves from top to bottom, which makes it easier to remove excess tea leaves from the tray.

[0026] It is easy to understand that according to the technical solution of the present utility model, without changing the essential spirit of the present utility model, those of ordinary skill in the art can propose various interchangeable structural forms and implementation manners. Therefore, the following specific embodiments and drawings are only exemplary illustrations of the technical solution of the present utility model, and should not be regarded as the whole of the present utility model or as a limitation or restriction on the technical solution of the present utility model.
[0027] A tea withering rack with a uniform spreading mechanism, referring to Figure 1-5 , includes:
[0028] The vertical frame 1 can be set in a "U" - shaped structure to provide a stable support frame for the whole withering rack.
[0029] There are multiple trays 2, which are horizontally arranged. The upper surface is provided with grooves, and the depth of the grooves is the thickness required for spreading the tea leaves. They are vertically arranged at equal intervals and staggered between the vertical frames 1. The trays 2 are used to carry the tea leaves, and the design of the grooves can ensure that the tea leaves have a fixed spreading thickness on the trays, thus ensuring the consistency of the withering process.
[0030] The rectangular frame 3 is located above the edge of the upper surface of the tray 2 to form a围挡 for the tea leaves, preventing the tea leaves from being blown off during the withering process. A vertical plate 4 is fixedly installed at the top of the rectangular frame 3. A retaining plate 5 smaller than the thickness of the rectangular frame 3 is fixed between the side of the vertical plate 4 facing the groove of the vertical frame 1 and the adjacent side of the top of the rectangular frame 3. A region for horizontally moving and spreading the tea leaves is formed between the vertical plate 4 and the retaining plate 5. Multiple vertical plates 4 and retaining plates 5 are arranged corresponding to each other up and down with one tray 2 interval, and the adjacent vertical plates 4 and retaining plates 5 up and down are distributed on different sides of the tray 2. This setting method enables the upper vertical plate 4 and retaining plate 5 to move the tea leaves to the other side and fall into the lower vertical plate 4 and retaining plate 5 when pulling the rectangular frame 3 to spread, achieving uniform spreading of the multi - layer tea leaves from top to bottom and avoiding the problem of inconvenience in taking out the tea leaves when there are too many.
[0031] The L - shaped plates 6 are located on the side of the tray 2 away from the vertical plate 4, and two groups are fixedly installed. A strip - shaped channel for the retaining plate 5 and the rectangular frame 3 to pass through is formed between the tops of the two L - shaped plates 6 in the same group. The setting of the L - shaped plates 6 provides guidance and support for the movement of the rectangular frame 3 and the retaining plate 5, ensuring the stability of the spreading process. During this process, the vertical plate 4 can reach the other side of the tray 2, facilitating scraping off the excess tea leaves. During the scraping process, the position of the tea leaves can be slightly adjusted manually to reduce the amount of tea leaves separated from the tray 2 and reduce waste.
[0032] When the rectangular frame 3 is directly above the top edge of the tray 2, the L-shaped plate 6 inside the rectangular frame 3 contacts both sides of the inner corner of the rectangular frame 3. This design can further limit the movement trajectory of the rectangular frame 3, ensuring that the rectangular frame 3 remains stable during movement, maximizing the area of the spread tea, and thus ensuring the uniformity of the tea spread.
[0033] The partition panel 5 is designed as a triangular structure, and the width of the corner of the partition panel 5 facing the L-shaped plate 6 is less than the width between the tops of the two L-shaped plates 6. The triangular structure of the partition panel 5 can better guide the movement of tea leaves during the spreading process and is not easily deformed. At the same time, its special size design allows the partition panel 5 to pass smoothly through the strip channel formed by the L-shaped plates 6, ensuring the normal operation of the spreading mechanism.
[0034] The groove is set as an inclined surface on the side near the vertical plate 4 and the opposite side of that side. The inclined surface is used to guide the tea leaves to slide out. The design of the inclined surface allows the tea leaves to slide out of the tray 2 more smoothly during the spreading process, avoiding the accumulation of tea leaves and further improving the uniformity of tea leaf spreading. It also makes it easier to sweep out and collect the tea leaves after withering.
[0035] The vertical frame 1 and the tray 2 are rotatably connected by a pivot, which extends out of the vertical frame 1 and has a sliding rod that can lock the tray 2. This connection method allows the tray 2 to rotate as needed, pouring the tea leaves from the upper tray 2 into the lower vertical plate 4 and the surrounding plate 5, which facilitates quick collection of tea leaves.
[0036] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
