Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing technology, specifically a circulating high-efficiency tea drying device. Background Technology
[0002] Depending on the type of tea, the tea production process varies, but it generally includes four basic steps: picking, fixing, rolling, and drying. Tea drying is mostly done using a drying machine. Most tea drying devices use a hot air blower to circulate hot air into the drying chamber to achieve the effect of drying the tea.
[0003] Currently, existing tea drying equipment uses a relatively simple drying method. The tea leaves are often fixed in place, and only one side of the tea leaves can be dried, resulting in uneven heating and low drying efficiency. In addition, the hot air from existing tea drying equipment is directly discharged after drying, without being recycled, leading to heat loss. Therefore, we propose a circulating high-efficiency tea drying device. Utility Model Content

[0013] This utility model provides a circulating high-efficiency tea drying device, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. This circulating high-efficiency tea drying device, through the arrangement of a rotating shaft, gears, rack plate, connecting rod, sliding frame, sliding groove, stepper motor, turntable, and sliding pin, loads tea leaves into the drying mesh cylinder during the drying process. When drying, the stepper motor is turned on to drive the turntable and sliding pin to rotate. The sliding pin is slidably connected to the sliding groove, which in turn drives the rack plate to move up and down slowly through the sliding frame and connecting rod. When the rack plate moves up and down, it meshes with the gears, which in turn drives the rotating shaft and the drying mesh cylinder to rotate slowly back and forth. This allows the tea leaves in the drying mesh cylinder to turn over during the drying process, achieving uniform and efficient drying of the tea leaves.
[0015] 2. This circulating high-efficiency tea drying device, through the arrangement of air guide grilles, guide rails, air guide fans, and heating pipes, allows for efficient drying of tea leaves in the drying chamber. By turning on the air guide fan and heating pipes, heat is generated by the heating pipes and then blown into the drying chamber through the air guide grilles by the air guide fan. After drying, the air guide fan's input end exhausts air from the circulation chamber into the drying chamber, causing the air guide grilles on the other side of the partition to generate suction, drawing the dried hot air into the circulation chamber. The hot air is then dehumidified by the guide rails and blown back into the drying chamber by the air guide fan, thus achieving circulating drying and effectively preventing heat waste.

[0028] A screen cover 20 is hinged to one side of the drying screen cylinder 5. Both the screen cover 20 and the top of the drying screen cylinder 5 are equipped with interlocking latches. By using the latches, the screen cover 20 can be opened to load the drying screen cylinder 5 with tea leaves to be dried and the dried tea leaves.
[0029] A door is hinged to one side of the drying oven 1, and the door cooperates with the partition 21. The door can contact one side of the partition 21, and the partition 21 divides the interior of the drying oven 1 into two spaces to facilitate air circulation.
[0030] A pull handle is provided on one side of the drawer frame 24; the pull handle facilitates the removal of the drawer frame 24 from the circulation box 23 and the installation of the drawer frame 24 into the circulation box 23.
[0031] In summary, when using this circulating high-efficiency tea drying device, first open the chamber door, then open the latch on the outside of the drying mesh cylinder 5 to open the mesh cylinder cover 20. Next, quantitatively load the tea leaves to be dried into the drying mesh cylinder 5, then close the mesh cylinder cover 20 and lock the drying mesh cylinder 5. After the tea leaves are loaded, close the chamber door. Then, turn on the heating tube 29 and the air guide fan 28. The heating tube 29 generates heat, and the air guide fan 28 blows air onto the heating tube 29. The air carries away the heat generated by the heating tube 29 and enters the drying chamber 1 through an air guide grille 22 to dry the tea leaves in the drying mesh cylinder 5. During the drying process, the stepper motor 11 drives the turntable 12 and the sliding pin 13 to rotate. The sliding pin 13 then slides within the sliding groove 10, causing the sliding frame 9 and connecting rod 8 to move up and down with the rack plate 7. The rack plate 7 meshes with several gears 6, simultaneously driving several... The rotating shaft 2 and the drying screen cylinder 5 rotate in a reciprocating cycle, allowing the tea leaves inside the drying screen cylinder 5 to turn over and be evenly heated and dried. The hot air after the tea leaves are dried is guided by the partition 21 and then drawn into the circulation box 23 through another air guide grille 22. The moisture in the hot air is dehumidified by the moisture-absorbing particles 27, and the hot air is then blown into the drying box 1 by the air guide fan 28 to circulate and dry the tea leaves inside the drying box 1. After the tea leaves are dried, the box door is opened, the fixing bolts 19 are loosened to remove them from the threaded cylinder 18, and the limiting position on the drying screen cylinder 5 is released. The lock on the outside of the drying screen cylinder 5 is opened, and the screen cylinder cover 20 is opened. The drying screen cylinder 5 is pulled so that it slides a certain distance in the mounting groove 16 through the slide rod 17, and then the drying screen cylinder 5 is flipped so that it rotates downward around the slide rod 17 as the axis, so that the tea leaves can be poured out of the drying screen cylinder 5.
