Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tea fermentation boxes, and in particular to an adjustable tea fermentation box. Background Technology
[0002] Tea refers to the buds and leaves picked from the tea tree (Camellia genus of the Theaceae family), which are processed into beverage raw materials through processes such as fixation, rolling, and fermentation. Tea fermentation boxes are used during tea fermentation. Tea fermentation boxes are the core equipment used in the tea fermentation process. By precisely controlling environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, and oxygen content, the tea fermentation process is optimized and the quality of tea is improved.
[0003] To this end, patent specification CN218681738U discloses an adjustable tea fermentation device, relating to the field of tea processing technology. This adjustable tea fermentation device includes a drum, an L-shaped base, a horizontal column, and a gas conveying mechanism. An annular shell is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the drum. The annular shell has four sets of cavities arranged in a circular array. Reinforcing blocks are fixedly installed on the inner walls of the cavities. Circular blocks are provided on the outer wall of the annular shell. A blocking plate is provided on the other side of the drum. The L-shaped base is mounted on the drum, and a box is fixedly installed on one side of the L-shaped base. A worm gear and a worm wheel are provided inside the box. The horizontal column is mounted on the drum and the L-shaped base, and an air chamber is provided on the horizontal column. The gas conveying mechanism is located on the annular shell and the horizontal column. This adjustable tea fermentation device provides a more uniform distribution of hot air, moisture, and oxygen when conveying them into the drum, resulting in more even and sufficient contact between the tea leaves and the heat, humidity, and oxygen.
[0004] When the above-mentioned technology is used, the heat, moisture and oxygen are more evenly distributed when the tea fermentation device is adjusted and transported into the drum, so that the heat, humidity and oxygen of the tea are more even and sufficient. However, it is inconvenient to recover the heat in the gas discharged during fermentation, resulting in heat waste. Therefore, an adjustable tea fermentation box is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] This utility model embodiment provides an adjustable tea fermentation box, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, it includes a fermentation chamber 1 and a door 2; the front end of the fermentation chamber 1 is hinged with the door 2, the interior of the fermentation chamber 1 is equipped with an adjustment structure 7, a control panel 3 is installed on one side of the fermentation chamber 1, a temperature sensor 8 is installed on one side of the interior of the fermentation chamber 1, a humidity sensor 9 is installed on one side of the temperature sensor 8, an installation box 4 is installed on one side of the fermentation chamber 1, an air inlet 5 is installed on one side of the installation box 4, and a heat recovery structure 6 is installed inside the air inlet 5.
[0026] The adjustment structure 7 includes an adjustment groove 703, which is located on both sides inside the fermentation box 1. A placement rack 701 is installed inside the fermentation box 1, and sliders 702 are installed on both sides of the placement rack 701. The sliders 702 are inserted into the adjustment groove 703, and the sliders 702 and the adjustment groove 703 form an insertion structure. Multiple sets of adjustment grooves 703 are provided, and the multiple sets of adjustment grooves 703 are arranged at equal intervals on both sides inside the fermentation box 1. A ball is provided at the bottom of the slider 702, and the ball is rolled in the interior of the bottom of the slider 702.
[0027] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-3 and Figure 5 As shown: During tea fermentation, the tea leaves are placed on the placement rack 701, and then the placement rack 701 is inserted into the adjusting groove 703 via the sliders 702 on both sides, thus completing the installation of the placement rack 701. By using multiple sets of adjusting grooves 703, the distance between the placement racks 701 can be adjusted according to the needs of tea fermentation, thereby adjusting the spacing according to the thickness of the tea pile, ensuring that hot air can penetrate the tea layer, resulting in better fermentation.
[0028] The heat recovery structure 6 includes a recovery pipe 601, which is installed at the top of the fermentation tank 1. A dustproof net 602 is installed on one side of the air inlet 5. A heat exchange pipe 603 is installed inside the air inlet 5. One end of the recovery pipe 601 is connected to one end of the heat exchange pipe 603.
