Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing, specifically to a high-temperature sterilization device for tea processing. Background Technology
[0002] Tea processing refers to the process of transforming fresh tea leaves (tea leaves) into a finished tea product for consumption through a series of physical, chemical, and biological treatments. High-temperature sterilization is a process in tea processing that inactivates or inhibits harmful microorganisms (such as bacteria, molds, and yeasts) on and inside the tea leaves by applying a specific combination of temperature (usually ≥100℃) and time. In existing technologies, tea leaves are mostly spread in a tray before being placed in a high-temperature sterilization device. This results in the tea leaves piling up in the tray for sterilization, leading to insufficient sterilization of the inner leaves and affecting the overall sterilization effect. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a high-temperature sterilization device for tea processing to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

The threaded rod is rotatably connected inside the two chutes.
[0006] Preferably, the groove is internally connected to a threaded sleeve, which is fitted onto the outer surface of the threaded rod.

[0010] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

Fixed and movable hot air nozzles blow hot air onto the tea leaves for sterilization. The tea leaves tumble from mesh conveyor belt one onto mesh conveyor belt two, causing them to disperse and agitate, thus improving the sterilization effect. Once all the tea leaves have fallen into the storage and movable frames, a moving and lifting mechanism transports them to a sterilization chamber for a second sterilization, further enhancing the sterilization effect.

Moving hot air mechanisms 12 are arranged on the upper side of both the mesh conveyor belt 5 and the mesh conveyor belt 6. Figure 3As shown, the mobile hot air mechanism 12 includes chutes and threaded rods 13. Two chutes are formed on the inner wall of the sterilization chamber 2, and are located on the upper sides of the first mesh conveyor belt 5 and the second mesh conveyor belt 6, respectively. The threaded rod 13 is rotatably connected inside the two chutes, and a threaded sleeve 14 is slidably connected inside the chutes, with the threaded sleeve 14 fitted onto the outer surface of the threaded rod 13. A horizontal plate 15 is installed on the side of the threaded sleeve 14, and several mobile hot air nozzles 16 are installed inside the horizontal plate 15. A flat plate 17 is installed at the lower end of the horizontal plate 15, with two flat plates 17 facing the first inclined plate 7 and the second inclined plate 8, respectively. A collection frame 18 is provided at the bottom of the sterilization chamber 2, and a storage mechanism 19 is provided on the left side of the sterilization chamber 2. Figure 5 As shown, the storage mechanism 19 includes a storage frame 20 and a movable frame 22. The lower end face of the storage frame 20 is inclined. A mating opening 21 is opened at the right end of the storage frame 20, and the mating opening 21 corresponds to the position of the discharge outlet 4. The movable frame 22 is provided at the lower end of the storage frame 20. The lower end of the movable frame 22 is inclined, and the movable frame 22 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the storage frame 20. A movable mechanism 23 is installed at the left end of the storage frame 20. Figure 6 As shown, the moving mechanism 23 includes a hollow block 24 and a threaded shaft 25. The threaded shaft 25 is rotatably connected inside the hollow block 24. A motor 26 is mounted on the upper end of the threaded shaft 25.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the height of the flat plate 17 is controlled according to the usage requirements, thereby adjusting the thickness of the tea leaves. The threaded rod 13 is rotated to drive the threaded sleeve 14 and the horizontal plate 15 to rise and fall. The horizontal plate 15 drives the flat plate 17 and the moving hot air nozzle 16 to rise and fall to adjust the height.
[0026] Tea leaves are poured into sterilization box 2 through feed inlet 3. The tea leaves fall onto the upper end of mesh conveyor belt 5 and are transported by mesh conveyor belt 5. The accumulated tea leaves are spread out by flat plate 17 to facilitate subsequent sterilization. At the same time, hot air is blown onto the tea leaves by fixed hot air nozzle 11 and moving hot air nozzle 16 to sterilize the tea leaves. The tea leaves fall from mesh conveyor belt 5 onto mesh conveyor belt 6, which disperses the tea leaves and improves the sterilization effect.
[0027] After sterilization, the tea leaves fall into the storage box 20 and the moving box 22 through the outlet 4. Once all the tea leaves have fallen into the storage box 20 and the moving box 22, the motor 22 drives the threaded shaft 21 to rotate. The threaded shaft 21 drives the storage box 20 and the moving box 22 to rise through the moving block 23 and the moving mechanism 23, causing the tea leaves to move upward. Then, the motor 16 drives the threaded shaft 15 to rotate. The threaded shaft 15 drives the moving box 22 to fall through the moving block 17 and the extension rod 28, causing the tea leaves in the storage box 20 to slide into the feed inlet 3 through the moving box 22. Then, the tea leaves pass through the sterilization box 2 for sterilization again, improving the sterilization effect of the tea leaves.
