Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea fermentation, specifically to a novel tea fermentation room. Background Technology

[0002] Tea fermentation refers to the process by which controlled environmental conditions (such as temperature, humidity, and oxygen) and microbial activity induce oxidation and polymerization reactions in the internal chemical components of tea leaves, resulting in specific flavors, aromas, and colors. The tea fermentation chamber is a crucial step in tea processing, providing a stable biochemical transformation environment for tea by simulating or optimizing natural fermentation conditions. Most existing tea fermentation chambers directly blow hot air into the fermentation room through temperature control mechanisms. While direct hot air blowing can quickly regulate the overall temperature, it easily creates airflow dead zones, temperature stratification, and localized overheating / overcooling areas. This leads to inconsistent temperatures in different parts of the fermentation chamber, affecting the fermentation effect and efficiency. Therefore, those skilled in the art have proposed a novel tea fermentation chamber to address the problems mentioned in the background section. Utility Model Content

Several connection ports are installed at the rear end of the air supply pipes. Several guide rods are installed at the bottom of the fermentation chamber. Guide grooves are opened at the upper end of the guide rods. Several tea racks are installed inside the fermentation chamber. Guide blocks are installed at the lower end of the tea racks. A positioning mechanism is installed at the rear end of the tea racks.

[0004] Preferably, the tea rack includes a base plate grid plate, universal wheels are symmetrically installed at the lower end of the base plate, four right-angle rods are symmetrically installed at the upper end of the base plate, a spiral rod is installed at the upper end of the four right-angle rods, and a grid plate is set between the right-angle rods.

[0006] Preferably, the positioning mechanism includes a groove block and a positioning groove. The groove block is fixed to the lower end of the base plate, and a movable block is slidably connected inside the groove block.

[0019] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.

[0020] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, this embodiment provides a novel tea fermentation room, including a fermentation chamber 1. A humidification mechanism 2 and a ventilation mechanism 3 are installed at the upper end of the fermentation chamber 1. A temperature control mechanism 4 is also installed at the upper end of the fermentation chamber 1. Several air supply pipes 5 are installed at one end of the temperature control mechanism 4 and are fixed to the front wall inside the fermentation chamber 1. Several connection ports 6 are installed at the rear end of the air supply pipes 5. Several guide rods 7 are installed at the bottom inside the fermentation chamber 1. Guide grooves 8 are opened at the upper ends of the guide rods 7. Several tea racks 9 are arranged inside the fermentation chamber 1. Guide blocks 10 are installed at the lower ends of the tea racks 9. Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the tea rack 9 includes a base plate 18 and a grid plate 23. Universal casters 19 are symmetrically installed on the lower end of the base plate 18. Four right-angle rods 20 are symmetrically installed on the upper end of the base plate 18. A U-shaped rod is installed on the upper end of each of the four right-angle rods 20. The grid plate 23 is placed between the right-angle rods 20. A tea tray is placed on top of the grid plate 23. A serpentine heat exchange pipe 26 is installed on top of the grid plate 23, and the serpentine heat exchange pipe 26 is located above the tea tray. A connector 27 is installed at the front end of the serpentine heat exchange pipe 26. A positioning mechanism 11 is installed at the rear end of the tea rack 9. Figure 4 As shown, the positioning mechanism 11 includes a recessed block 12 and a positioning groove 17. The recessed block 12 is fixed to the lower end of the base plate 18. A movable block 13 is slidably connected inside the recessed block 12. A positioning block 14 is installed on the left end of the movable block 13 and passes through the recessed block 12. A pressing bolt 15 is threadedly connected inside the movable block 13. Limiting blocks 16 are symmetrically installed on the inner wall of the recessed block 12 and pass through the movable block 13. The positioning groove 17 is opened at the right end of the guide rod 7.

[0021] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: tea leaves are placed on a tea tray, the tea tray is placed on the upper end of the grid plate 23 through two right-angle rods 20, and the tea rack 9 is moved into the fermentation chamber 1 by the universal wheels 19, so that the guide block 10 is inserted into the guide groove 8, so that the tea rack 9 can slide stably into the fermentation chamber 1, so that the connector 27 of the serpentine heat exchange tube 26 on the first tea rack 9 is inserted into the connection port 6. Then, the moving block 13 is pushed to drive the positioning block 14 to be inserted into the positioning groove 17 to fix the position of the tea rack 9, and then the pressing bolt 15 is rotated to fix the position of the moving block 13.

[0022] Then, multiple tea racks 9 are pushed into the fermentation chamber 1 in sequence, so that the connector 27 of the serpentine heat exchange tube 26 on the next tea rack 9 is inserted into the serpentine heat exchange tube 26 of the previous tea rack 9. All the serpentine heat exchange tubes 26 are connected to the connection port 6. The temperature control mechanism 4 works to transfer hot air to the gas supply pipe 5, and then it is delivered to the serpentine heat exchange tubes 26 through the connection port 6, so that the serpentine heat exchange tubes 26 maintain an accurate temperature. This ensures that the temperature of each position of each tea rack 9 in the fermentation chamber 1 is accurate enough, ensuring that the temperature around the tea leaves in each position is the same, thus ensuring the fermentation effect and fermentation efficiency.
