Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea production technology, and more specifically, to a tea fixing device. Background Technology

[0002] Tea leaves, commonly known as tea, generally include the leaves and buds of the tea plant. Other names include jia, ming, and chuan. Tea leaves are leathery, oblong or elliptical in shape, and can be brewed directly with boiling water. During the processing of tea leaves, a fixing device is often used to fix the leaves. For example, application number "CN200910306532.7" proposes a tea fixing machine, characterized by including a frame, a motor, and a drum. A central shaft is connected inside the drum, and the two ends of the central shaft are bearings that mount the drum to the frame. A cover is provided above the drum, and a chimney is provided on the cover. A combustion furnace is provided below the drum. A pulley is fixed on the central shaft, and the pulley is connected to the motor through a belt drive mechanism.

[0003] However, the tea fixing machine mentioned above only has a single fixing function and cannot simultaneously complete the rolling operation of the tea during the fixing process. In actual tea processing, if the tea leaves need to be rolled after fixing, they often need to be transferred from the fixing equipment to the rolling equipment. This transfer process can easily cause the temperature of the tea leaves to drop. For tea varieties that require hot rolling, the temperature drop will seriously affect the rolling effect, which will lead to a decrease in the tea cell breakage rate. The aroma, flavor and other quality indicators of the tea leaves cannot be fully formed, and the quality of the tea leaves will be greatly reduced. Therefore, we propose a tea fixing device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a tea fixing device, which solves the problem that the current tea fixing machine only has a single fixing function and cannot simultaneously complete the rolling operation of the tea during the fixing process. In actual tea processing, if the tea leaves need to be rolled after fixing, they often need to be transferred from the fixing equipment to the rolling equipment. This transfer process can easily cause the temperature of the tea leaves to drop. For tea varieties that require hot rolling, the drop in temperature will seriously affect the rolling effect, which will lead to a decrease in the tea cell breakage rate and the inability to fully form the quality indicators such as aroma and taste of the tea, ultimately resulting in a significant reduction in the quality of the tea.

[0028] like Figures 4 to 10As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, a first movable groove 307 is provided in the middle of the first connecting rod 305. A plurality of extension grooves 308 are provided through the first movable groove 307. A disc 310 is movably installed at both ends of the first movable groove 307. A transmission block 317 is movably installed at both ends of the extension grooves 308. The two ends of the transmission block 317 are connected to the kneading block 306 and the disc 310, respectively. An extension block 313 is installed at one end of the disc 310 near the extension groove 308. The extension blocks 313 are movably installed inside the extension groove 308. The extension blocks 313 are located near the kneading block 306. Each end of the kneading block 306 is provided with a first placement groove 314, and each end of the kneading block 306 near the first connecting rod 305 is provided with a second placement groove 316. A fixing rod 315 is installed inside the first placement groove 314 and the second placement groove 316 respectively. Both ends of the transmission block 317 are movably located inside the first placement groove 314 and the second placement groove 316 respectively, and the rods of the fixing rods 315 are movably installed through the interior of the transmission block 317. The interior of the first movable groove 307 is provided with a plurality of first sliding grooves 309. A plurality of first sliders 311 are installed on the outer side of the disc 310, and the first sliders 311 are respectively engaged with the first sliding grooves 309. Inside the first movable groove 307 and the rotating shaft 302, at the end furthest from the motor 301, a positive and negative lead screw 312 is movably installed. The rod body of the positive and negative lead screw 312, located inside the first movable groove 307, is threadedly engaged and installed inside the disc 310. At the end of the positive and negative lead screw 312 furthest from the motor 301, a second movable groove 318 is provided. A second connecting rod 319 is movably installed inside the second movable groove 318. A limit block 320 is installed at the end of the second connecting rod 319 located inside the second movable groove 318, and the limit block 320 is movably located inside the second movable groove 318. A spring 323 is sleeved on the outer side of the second connecting rod 319 between the second movable grooves 318. The front and rear ends of the second movable groove 318 are provided with second sliding grooves 322. The front and rear ends of the limiting block 320 are respectively provided with second sliders 321. The second sliders 321 are respectively engaged and installed inside the second sliding grooves 322. A turntable 324 is installed at the end of the second connecting rod 319 away from the motor 301. A positioning rod 325 is installed at the end of the turntable 324 near the rotating shaft 302. A number of positioning holes 326 are arranged in a circle on the side of the rotating shaft 302 near the turntable 324. The positioning rod 325 is engaged and installed inside the positioning holes 326.

[0029] The user first adjusts the distance between the kneading block 306 and the processing cylinder 1 according to the size of the tea leaves. The user then pulls the turntable 324 outwards, causing the positioning rod 325 to disengage from the positioning hole 326. Simultaneously, the turntable 324 moves the second connecting rod 319 outwards, causing the limiting block 320 and the second slider 321 to slide along the second groove 322. The limiting block 320 also compresses the spring 323. The user can then control the turntable 324 to rotate. The turntable 324, through the second connecting rod 319, the second slider 321, and the second groove 322, drives the positive and negative lead screws 312 to rotate inside the rotating shaft 302. The positive and negative lead screws 312 then control the movement of the discs 310 via the thread, thus adjusting the distance between the discs 310. Then, when the discs 310... When the discs 310 move closer together, the disc 310 can push the kneading block 306 outward through the fixing rod 315 and the extension block 313, reducing the distance between the kneading block 306 and the processing cylinder 1. Then, when the discs 310 move further apart, the disc 310 can pull the kneading block 306 inward through the fixing rod 315 and the extension block 313, increasing the distance between the kneading block 306 and the processing cylinder 1. This allows for the adjustment of the distance according to the needs of the tea. After the adjustment is completed, the user can slowly lower the turntable 324, allowing the spring 323 to push the limit block 320, the second connecting rod 319, and the turntable 324 to reset. This causes the turntable 324 to drive the positioning rod 325 to re-engage into the positioning hole 326, so that the rotating shaft 302, the first connecting rod 305, the positive and negative lead screws 312, the second connecting rod 319, and the kneading block 306 form a single unit.

[0030] After adjustment, the user can start the heater 5 to heat the inside of the processing cylinder 1. Then, the user can pour the tea leaves into the processing cylinder 1 through the feed inlet 2 for fixation. Then, the user can start the motor 301 to drive the rotating shaft 302 to rotate. The rotating shaft 302 drives the frying arc plate 303 to rotate through the fixed block 304, so that the frying arc plate 303 can fry and fix the tea leaves. When the tea leaves move between the kneading block 306 and the processing cylinder 1, the kneading block 306 can cooperate with the processing cylinder 1 to knead the tea leaves. After the kneading is completed, the tea leaves are continued to be fryed by the frying arc plate 303. Finally, the tea leaves that have been fryed can be discharged through the feed pipe 4.

[0031] The working principle of this tea fixing device:

[0032] In use, the user first adjusts the distance between the kneading block 306 and the processing cylinder 1 according to the size of the tea leaves. The user then pulls the turntable 324 outwards, causing it to disengage the positioning rod 325 from the positioning hole 326. Simultaneously, the turntable 324 moves the second connecting rod 319 outwards, causing it to slide the limiting block 320 and the second slider 321 along the second slide groove 322. The limiting block 320 also compresses the spring 323. The user can then control the turntable 324 to rotate. The turntable 324, through the second connecting rod 319, the second slider 321, and the second slide groove 322, drives the positive and negative lead screws 312 to rotate inside the rotating shaft 302. The positive and negative lead screws 312 then control the movement of the discs 310 via the thread, thus adjusting the distance between the discs 310. Then, when the discs... When the discs 310 approach each other, the disc 310 can push the kneading block 306 outward through the fixing rod 315 and the extension block 313, reducing the distance between the kneading block 306 and the processing cylinder 1. Then, when the discs 310 move away from each other, the disc 310 can pull the kneading block 306 inward through the fixing rod 315 and the extension block 313, increasing the distance between the kneading block 306 and the processing cylinder 1. This allows for the adjustment of the distance according to the needs of the tea. After the adjustment is completed, the user can slowly lower the turntable 324, allowing the spring 323 to push the limit block 320, the second connecting rod 319, and the turntable 324 to reset. This causes the turntable 324 to drive the positioning rod 325 to re-engage into the positioning hole 326, so that the rotating shaft 302, the first connecting rod 305, the positive and negative lead screws 312, the second connecting rod 319, and the kneading block 306 form a single unit.

[0033] After adjustment, the user can start the heater 5 to heat the inside of the processing cylinder 1. Then, the user can pour the tea leaves into the processing cylinder 1 through the feed inlet 2 for fixation. Then, the user can start the motor 301 to drive the rotating shaft 302 to rotate. The rotating shaft 302 drives the frying arc plate 303 to rotate through the fixed block 304, so that the frying arc plate 303 can fry and fix the tea leaves. When the tea leaves move between the kneading block 306 and the processing cylinder 1, the kneading block 306 can cooperate with the processing cylinder 1 to knead the tea leaves. After the kneading is completed, the tea leaves are continued to be fryed by the frying arc plate 303. Finally, the tea leaves that have been fryed can be discharged through the feed pipe 4.

[0034] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to exhaustively list all the implementation methods here. Any obvious variations or modifications derived from the technical solutions of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model.
