Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing technology, specifically a tea processing stir-frying device. Background Technology
[0002] A tea stir-frying machine is a specialized piece of equipment used for stir-frying tea leaves. It is mainly used for the roasting and stir-frying process of tea leaves to adjust their aroma, color, and taste. The principle is to put the tea leaves into the wok of the stir-frying machine and use heating and mechanical stirring to make the tea leaves evenly heated and turned, so as to achieve the roasting and drying of the tea leaves.
[0003] A search revealed a tea processing and stir-frying device with application number 2024215015831. The device includes a main body box, inside which a roasting assembly is installed. A motor is fixedly connected to the right end of the main body box, and a door is rotatably installed on the front of the main body box. Ventilation fans are fixedly installed at both ends of the main body box. The roasting assembly includes annular supports, heating tubes, a stir-frying drum, through holes, support rods, and connecting shafts. Two sets of annular supports are fixedly connected inside the main body box, and several heating tubes are fixedly connected between the two sets of annular supports. The stir-frying drum is fitted inside the two sets of annular supports. Two sets of through holes are respectively opened at the left and right ends of the stir-frying drum, and several support rods are fixedly connected inside the through holes. This device, through the design of the roasting assembly, ensures that the tea is not damaged or piled up during processing, allowing the tea to be heated evenly and guaranteeing the quality of the tea.
[0004] However, in practical applications, this device makes it inconvenient to monitor the frying process of the tea leaves. Furthermore, after the tea leaves are fried, the double doors need to be opened manually to remove them. Also, the baking components retain residual heat after frying, making it difficult to rotate the double doors to the feeding gate and then open the latch. This makes the tea leaf removal operation extremely inconvenient and requires improvement. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that existing tea processing and frying devices are not convenient for observing the frying process of tea leaves, and the removal of tea leaves is extremely inconvenient.
[0006] To solve the above problems, the technical solution of this utility model is: a tea processing stir-frying device, including a box body, an inner cylinder rotatably installed inside the box body, a feeding cylinder fixedly connected to the front end of the box body, a discharge hopper at the lower rear end, an exhaust pipe at the top, and multiple electric heating tubes installed inside.
[0007] The inner cylinder has several through holes on its surface and an opening at its tail. Several sets of inclined guide strips are fixed to the inner wall. A baffle is movably provided at the rear end of the inner cylinder. A crossbar that passes through the rear end face of the box is rotatably connected to the side of the baffle. An electric push rod that drives the crossbar to move is installed at the rear end of the box.
[0008] A geared motor is installed at the upper rear end of the housing. The output shaft of the geared motor is connected to a rotating shaft via a coupling. A gear is installed on the rotating shaft. A gear ring that meshes with the gear is installed on the outer side of the rear end of the inner cylinder.
[0009] The rear end of the feeding cylinder extends into the inner cylinder, and the front end is detachably fitted with a transparent cover plate. An air guide pipe is fixed to the top of the cylinder on the outside of the box.
[0010] Furthermore, the heating element is an arc-shaped tube and is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inner cylinder, and the feeding cylinder has a conical structure.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a tea processing and stir-frying device includes a housing 1, an inner cylinder 2 rotatably mounted inside the housing 1, a feeding cylinder 3 fixedly connected to the front end of the housing 1, a discharge hopper 4 at the lower rear end, an exhaust pipe 5 at the top, and multiple electric heating tubes 6 installed inside. A PLC controller is installed on the front end face of the housing 1. The electric heating tubes 6 are arc-shaped tubes and are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inner cylinder 2. The feeding cylinder 3 has a conical structure, with its rear end extending into the inner cylinder 2. A transparent cover plate 15 is detachably installed at the front end, and a gas guide pipe 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the cover plate to the outside of the housing 1. A valve is installed on the gas guide pipe 16.
[0024] When the tea leaves are being stir-fried with the transparent cover 15, if it is necessary to open the transparent cover 15 during or after the stir-frying process, first open the valve on the air duct 16 to release the hot air from the feed cylinder 3, preventing injury from the hot air caused by directly opening the transparent cover 15. The stir-frying process of the tea leaves in the inner cylinder 2 can be observed through the transparent cover 15.
[0025] The inner cylinder 2 has several through holes on its surface and an opening at its tail. Several sets of inclined guide strips 7 are fixed to the inner wall. A partition 17 is fixed to the rear of the box body 1 and sleeved on the outside of the inner cylinder 2. The rotating shaft 12 passes through and is rotatably connected to the partition 17. An annular slide rail 18 is fixed to the side of the partition 17 on the outside of the inner cylinder 2. Multiple sliders 19 that are slidably connected to the slide rail 18 are fixed to the outside of the inner cylinder 2. An annular slide rail 20 is fixed to the front end of the inner box body 1. Multiple sliders 21 that are slidably connected to the slide rail 20 are fixed to the front end of the inner cylinder 2.
[0026] A geared motor 11 is installed at the upper rear end of the box body 1. The output shaft of the geared motor 11 is connected to a rotating shaft 12 via a coupling. A gear 13 is installed on the rotating shaft 12. A gear ring 14 that meshes with the gear 13 is installed on the outer side of the rear end of the inner cylinder 2. A slag discharge hopper 25 is provided at the bottom of the box body 1 below the inner cylinder 2.
[0027] The geared motor 11 drives the gear 13 to rotate, and the gear 13 drives the inner cylinder 2 to rotate through the gear ring 14. The guide bar 7 rotates synchronously with the inner cylinder 2, which can turn the tea leaves and achieve uniform heating. Since the guide bar 7 is inclined, when the geared motor 11 rotates in the forward direction, the guide bar 7 can transport the tea leaves to the rear end of the inner cylinder 2. When the geared motor 11 rotates in the reverse direction, the guide bar 7 can transport the tea leaves to the front of the inner cylinder 2. The forward and reverse rotation of the geared motor 11 can make the tea leaves move back and forth in the inner cylinder. The debris generated during the frying process can pass through the through hole on the inner cylinder 2 and then be discharged through the slag discharge hopper 25. The PLC controller controls the forward / reverse rotation time of the geared motor 11, such as 30 seconds for each forward / reverse rotation.
[0028] The inner cylinder 2 is movably provided with a baffle 8 at its rear end. A crossbar 9 that passes through the rear end face of the box body 1 is rotatably connected to the side of the baffle 8. An electric push rod 10 that drives the crossbar 9 to move is installed at the rear end of the box body 1. A connecting column 22 is fixedly connected to the side of the baffle 8. One end of the crossbar 9 is rotatably connected to the connecting column 22, and the other end is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 23. The output end of the electric push rod 10 is connected to the connecting plate 23. A limiting cylinder 24 that is sleeved on the outside of the crossbar 9 is fixedly connected to the outside of the box body 1.
[0029] When the electric push rod 10 retracts, it causes the connecting plate 23 to move the crossbar 9 and the baffle 8 toward the inner cylinder 2, which can seal the end of the inner cylinder 2 and prevent the tea leaves from spilling. When the frying is completed, the electric push rod 10 extends, causing the baffle 8 to separate from the inner cylinder 2. The reduction motor 11 continues to rotate in the positive direction, which can discharge the tea leaves into the discharge hopper 4 and collect them through the discharge hopper 4.
[0030] In practical use, tea leaves are fed into the inner cylinder 2 via the feeding cylinder 3, and the transparent cover 15 is placed on top. The electric heating element 6 and the geared motor 11 are then turned on. The geared motor 11 rotates intermittently in both forward and reverse directions, which can complete the turning and frying of the tea leaves. The frying process of the tea leaves in the inner cylinder 2 can be observed through the transparent cover 15. When frying is completed, the electric push rod 10 extends, causing the baffle 8 to separate from the inner cylinder 2. The geared motor 11 continues to rotate in the forward direction, which can discharge the tea leaves into the discharge hopper 4 for collection.
