Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing technology, specifically a tea steam softening treatment device. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional green teas like Tieguanyin require fresh tea leaves to be stir-fried at high temperatures, followed by rolling. After stir-frying, the tea leaves lose moisture and become very brittle. If rolling is started immediately, the tea leaves will break into fragments and powder, making it impossible to produce whole leaves. Therefore, it is important to soften the stir-fried tea leaves.

[0003] The existing technology for softening tea leaves involves heating water to generate steam, which softens the tea leaves through steam flow. However, this technology has some shortcomings. In the process of softening tea leaves through steam, the container holding the tea leaves is usually left to stand, allowing the steam to enter the container. However, because the tea leaves tend to accumulate during this process, the center of the accumulated tea leaves cannot be heated evenly, which can easily lead to uneven softening in some areas. Therefore, we propose a tea leaf steam softening device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tea steam softening treatment device, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tea steam softening device, comprising a processing box and a vibration assembly for uniformly softening tea leaves. The vibration assembly includes a drive motor fixedly connected to the inner wall of the processing box, an output shaft fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor, a cam fixedly connected to the outer wall of the other end of the output shaft, a vent plate slidably connected to the bottom of the cam, a limiting groove formed in the inner wall of the processing box, a spring fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the limiting groove, a limiting block fixedly connected to the other end of the spring, a side wall of the limiting block fixedly connected to the outer wall of the vent plate, a carrying box fixedly connected to the top of the vent plate, a through groove formed at the bottom of the carrying box, a positioning groove formed at the top of the carrying box, a positioning column slidably connected to the inner wall of the positioning groove, and a sealing cover fixedly connected to the top of the positioning column. By setting the vibration assembly, the tea leaves can be vibrated during the steam softening process, allowing the steam to fully soften the tea leaves and preventing tea leaves from accumulating and causing uneven softening.

[0006] Preferably, a second handle is fixedly connected to the top center of the sealing cap.

[0007] Preferably, the processing chamber is further equipped with a softening component for steam softening the tea leaves. The softening component includes a fixing frame fixedly connected to the left side of the outer wall of the processing chamber. A water storage tank is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing frame. A water pump is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water storage tank. The input end of the water pump is connected to the bottom of the water storage tank. A drain pipe is connected to the output end of the water pump. The outer wall of the middle section of the drain pipe is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the processing chamber. The other end of the drain pipe is connected to a water storage pool. The bottom of the water storage pool is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the processing chamber. The front of the water storage pool is fixedly connected to… The system includes a controller, and a heating wire is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water storage tank. By setting up a softening component, when it is necessary to steam soften the tea leaves, the operator first turns on the water pump, which draws water from inside the water storage tank into the drain pipe and then discharges it into the water storage tank. When it is necessary to heat the water in the water storage tank, the operator operates the controller to energize the heating wire. After the heating wire is energized, it heats the water. When the water boils, it produces a large amount of steam, which fills the inside of the processing box, thus achieving steam softening of the tea leaves.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the processing box is fixedly connected with four support legs. The four support legs are equidistantly fixedly connected to the bottom of the four corners of the processing box. By setting four support legs at the bottom of the processing box, a stable support function for the processing box can be achieved.

[0009] Preferably, the front of the processing box is movably connected to a box door via a hinge, the inner wall of the box door is fixedly connected to an observation window, and the front of the box door is fixedly connected to a first handle.

[0010] Preferably, positioning posts are provided at the bottom of each of the four corners of the positioning post.

[0011] This invention provides a tea steam softening treatment device. This tea steam softening treatment device has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] (1) This tea steam softening treatment device, by setting a vibration component, in order to avoid the accumulation of tea leaves and uneven heating of the tea leaves in the middle, which would affect the softening effect, it is necessary to vibrate the tea leaves during the steam softening process. First, the operator puts the tea leaves to be softened into the inside of the carrying box, and then inserts the positioning column into the inside of the positioning groove so that the sealing cover can seal the carrying box. During the steam softening process, the operator turns on the drive motor to make the output shaft rotate. During the rotation of the output shaft, the cam will rotate. When the cam rotates downward, it will squeeze the vent plate to move downward. After the vent plate moves downward, it will drive the limit block to move downward along the inner wall of the limit groove and squeeze the spring to compress the spring. When the cam rotates upward, the limit block will be reset upward under the reaction of the spring and drive the vent plate to move upward, so that the carrying box is reset upward. Repeating this process can make the carrying box vibrate up and down, which is convenient for the tea leaves inside the carrying box to be vibrated and dispersed, so that the tea leaves are heated evenly during the steam softening process and the softening effect is improved.

[0013] (2) The tea steam softening treatment device, by setting up a softening component, when it is necessary to steam soften the tea, the operator first turns on the water pump, which causes the water pump to draw the water inside the water storage tank into the drain pipe and discharge it into the water storage tank through the drain pipe. When it is necessary to heat the water inside the water storage tank, the operator controls the controller to make the heating wire energized. After the heating wire is energized, the water will be heated. When the water is heated and boiled, a lot of water vapor will be generated. The generated water vapor will be densely distributed inside the treatment box, thus realizing the steam softening treatment of the tea. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the specific embodiments of this utility model are now described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] A preferred embodiment of the tea steam softening device provided by this utility model is, for example... Figures 1 to 5 As shown: A tea steam softening treatment device includes a treatment chamber 1 and a vibration assembly 61 for uniformly softening tea leaves. The vibration assembly 61 includes a drive motor 611 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the treatment chamber 1. An output shaft 612 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 611. A cam 613 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the other end of the output shaft 612. A vent plate 614 is slidably connected to the bottom of the cam 613. A limiting groove 615 is formed in the inner wall of the treatment chamber 1. The inner wall of the limiting groove 615... A spring 616 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the wall, and a limit block 617 is fixedly connected to the other end of the spring 616. The side wall of the limit block 617 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the vent plate 614. A bearing box 618 is fixedly connected to the top of the vent plate 614. A through groove 619 is opened at the bottom of the bearing box 618, and a positioning groove 6110 is opened at the top of the bearing box 618. A positioning post 6111 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the positioning groove 6110, and a sealing cover 6112 is fixedly connected to the top of the positioning post 6111.

[0022] By setting up the vibration component 61, during the steam softening process of tea leaves, in order to prevent the tea leaves from piling up and causing uneven heating in the middle of the tea leaves, which would affect the softening effect, the tea leaves need to be vibrated. First, the operator puts the tea leaves to be softened into the carrying box 618, and then inserts the positioning pin 6111 into the positioning groove 6110, so that the sealing cover 6112 seals the carrying box 618. During the steam softening process, the operator turns on the drive motor 611, causing the output shaft 612 to rotate. During the rotation of the output shaft 612, the cam 613 will rotate. When cam 613 rotates downwards, it will compress vent plate 614 and move it downwards. After vent plate 614 moves downwards, it will drive limit block 617 to move downwards along the inner wall of limit groove 615 and compress spring 616. When cam 613 rotates upwards, under the reaction of spring 616, limit block 617 will be reset upwards and drive vent plate 614 to move upwards, so that carrier box 618 is reset upwards. Repeating this process can generate up and down vibration of carrier box 618, which is convenient for vibrating and dispersing the tea leaves inside carrier box 618, so that the tea leaves are heated evenly during steam softening and the softening effect is improved.

[0023] A second handle 6113 is fixedly connected to the center top of the sealing cap 6112.

[0024] A preferred embodiment of the tea steam softening device provided by this utility model is, for example... Figures 1 to 5 As shown: The interior of the processing box 1 is also equipped with a softening component 62 for steam softening tea leaves. The softening component 62 includes a fixing frame 621 fixedly connected to the left side of the outer wall of the processing box 1. A water storage tank 622 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing frame 621. A water pump 623 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water storage tank 622. The input end of the water pump 623 is connected to the bottom of the water storage tank 622. A drain pipe 624 is connected to the output end of the water pump 623. The outer wall of the middle part of the drain pipe 624 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the processing box 1. The other end of the drain pipe 624 is connected to a water storage pool 625. The bottom of the water storage pool 625 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the processing box 1. A controller 626 is fixedly connected to the front of the water storage pool 625. A heating wire 627 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water storage pool 625.

[0025] By setting up the softening component 62, when steam softening of tea is required, the operator first turns on the water pump 623, which draws water from the water storage tank 622 into the drain pipe 624 and discharges it into the water storage pool 625. When heating of the water in the water storage pool 625 is required, the operator controls the controller 626 to energize the heating wire 627. After the heating wire 627 is energized, the water is heated. When the water boils, a large amount of steam is generated, which fills the interior of the processing box 1, thus achieving steam softening of the tea.

[0026] Furthermore, the bottom of the processing box 1 is fixedly connected with four support legs 2. The four support legs 2 are fixedly connected at equal intervals at the bottom of the four corners of the processing box 1. By setting four support legs 2 at the bottom of the processing box 1, the processing box 1 can be stably supported.

[0027] Furthermore, the front of the processing box 1 is movably connected to the box door 3 via a hinge, the inner wall of the box door 3 is fixedly connected to the observation window 4, and the front of the box door 3 is fixedly connected to the first handle 5.

[0028] In addition, positioning posts 6111 are provided at the bottom of all four corners of the positioning posts 6111.

[0029] Working principle: When it is necessary to steam soften the tea, the operator first turns on the water pump 623, which draws water from the water storage tank 622 into the drain pipe 624 and then discharges it into the water storage pool 625. When it is necessary to heat the water in the water storage pool 625, the operator controls the controller 626 to energize the heating wire 627. After the heating wire 627 is energized, it heats the water. When the water boils, it produces a lot of steam, which fills the inside of the processing box 1, thus achieving the steam softening treatment of the tea.

[0030] During the steam softening process of tea leaves, to prevent the tea leaves from piling up and causing uneven heating in the middle, which would affect the softening effect, the tea leaves need to be vibrated. First, the operator puts the tea leaves to be softened into the carrying box 618. Then, the positioning pin 6111 is inserted into the positioning groove 6110, so that the sealing cover 6112 seals the carrying box 618. During the steam softening process, the operator turns on the drive motor 611, causing the output shaft 612 to rotate. As the output shaft 612 rotates, it drives the cam 613 to rotate. As the cam 613 rotates... After the cam 613 rotates downwards, it will push the vent plate 614 downwards. After the vent plate 614 moves downwards, it will drive the limiting block 617 to move downwards along the inner wall of the limiting groove 615 and squeeze the spring 616, causing the spring 616 to compress. When the cam 613 rotates upwards, the limiting block 617 will be reset upwards under the reaction of the spring 616, and the vent plate 614 will move upwards, causing the carrier box 618 to reset upwards. By repeating this process, the carrier box 618 can be vibrated up and down, which facilitates the vibration and dispersion of the tea leaves inside the carrier box 618, so that the tea leaves are heated evenly during the steam softening process, thus improving the softening effect.

Furthermore, it should be noted that the components of this utility model are not limited to the overall application described above.
