Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Tea fermentation is a crucial process in tea processing, referring to the chemical changes that occur in tea leaves under specific temperature, humidity, and microbial or enzymatic conditions, primarily involving the oxidation and polymerization of polyphenols. Fermentation cabinets are used during tea fermentation. However, existing fermentation cabinets have fixed internal spaces, making it impossible to adjust the distance between the trays according to the height of the tea leaves, resulting in poor applicability. Furthermore, after one batch of tea leaves has finished fermenting, workers must remove it and then load a new batch for fermentation, hindering workflow and requiring frequent tea leaf changes, thus interfering with other tasks. Therefore, those skilled in the art have developed a tea fermentation cabinet to address the problems mentioned in the background. Utility Model Content

[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 Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a tea fermentation cabinet, including a cabinet body 1. A temperature control mechanism 2 and a humidity control mechanism 3 are provided on the side of the cabinet body 1. A ventilation mechanism 4 is provided at the upper end of the cabinet body 1. Support legs 5 are symmetrically installed at the lower end of the cabinet body 1. A U-shaped hole 6 is opened inside the cabinet body 1. Limiting blocks 7 are symmetrically installed on the inner wall of the U-shaped hole 6. A movable plate 8 is slidably connected inside the U-shaped hole 6. Several rollers 9 are installed at the lower end of the movable plate 8. Limiting grooves 10 are symmetrically opened on the side of the movable plate 8, and the limiting blocks 7 are slidably connected within the limiting grooves 10. The movable plate 8 has stop bars 11 installed at both ends. Several upright plates 15 are installed on the upper end of the movable plate 8. The sides of the upright plates 15 slide against the inner wall of the U-shaped holes 6. The movable plate 8 and the lower end of the cabinet 1 are equipped with a transmission mechanism, which includes a rack 12 and a gear 13. The rack 12 is fixed to the lower end of the movable plate 8, and the rack 12 and gear 13 mesh. A motor 14 is installed on the right end of the gear 13, and the motor 14 is fixed to the lower end of the cabinet 1. Several placement mechanisms 18 are slidably connected between two adjacent upright plates 15, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the placement mechanism 18 includes a grid plate 19 and a connecting rod 20. The connecting rod 20 is installed at both ends of the grid plate 19. The connecting rod 20 has a notch 21 on its side and is slidably connected to the positioning rod 16 through the notch 21. A snap-fit ​​mechanism is provided at the rear of the connecting rod 20. The snap-fit ​​mechanism includes a sliding groove and a slot 17. The sliding groove is opened at the upper end of the connecting rod 20. A snap-fit ​​block 22 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove. A guide block is installed on the inner wall of the sliding groove and passes through the snap-fit ​​block 22. A spring 23 is installed at the rear end of the snap-fit ​​block 22. A locking block 24 is installed at the front end of the snap-fit ​​block 22 and passes through the rear end of the notch 21. Several slots 17 are opened on the positioning rod 16. The slots 17 correspond to the positions of the locking blocks 24. The positioning rod 16 is symmetrically slidably connected to the side of the placement mechanism 18 and the positioning rod 16 is fixed to the side of the upright plate 15.

[0021] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the distance between the placing mechanisms 18 is adjusted according to the height of the tea placing tray, the buckle block 22 is pushed to move and compress the spring 23. At the same time, the buckle block 22 drives the locking block 24 to leave the slot 17. Then, the grid plate 19 is pushed to rise and fall between the upright plates 15 to adjust the height. After the adjustment is completed, the buckle block 22 is pushed back to its original position by the spring 23. The buckle block 22 drives the locking block 24 to insert into the slot 17 to fix the position of the grid plate 19. Then, the tea placing tray containing tea is placed on the grid plate 19.

[0022] Then, the motor 14 drives the gear 13 to rotate intermittently. The gear 13 meshes with the rack 12, causing the rack 12 to move intermittently a certain distance. The roller 9 causes the moving plate 8 to move within the U-shaped hole 6. At the same time, the limiting block 7 moves within the limiting groove 10. The intermittent movement of the moving plate 8 drives multiple tea tea trays to move into the U-shaped hole 6, so that the two upright plates 15 are respectively on both sides of the inner wall of the U-shaped hole 6.

[0023] Then, the temperature and humidity inside the cabinet 1 are adjusted by the temperature control mechanism 2 and the humidity control mechanism 3, so as to ferment the tea inside the cabinet 1. After the tea in multiple tea trays has finished fermenting, the motor 14 continues to drive the moving plate 8 to move intermittently, so that multiple other tea trays can be moved into the cabinet 1 for fermentation, ensuring the smoothness of the tea fermentation process, improving work efficiency, and allowing staff to free up more time to do other work.

[0024] Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art and related fields based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described and explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented according to conventional means in the art.
