Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing technology, specifically a tea fixing machine. Background Technology

[0002] "Firing" is one of the initial processing steps for green tea, yellow tea, black tea, oolong tea, and some red teas. Its main purpose is to use high temperatures to destroy and deactivate the oxidase activity in fresh leaves, inhibit the enzymatic oxidation of tea polyphenols, evaporate some of the moisture from the leaves, soften the tea leaves, making them easier to roll and shape, and at the same time, remove any grassy odor and promote the formation of a pleasant aroma.

[0003] Traditionally, tea processing involves manual pan-frying, but this method is inefficient and labor-intensive. With industrial development, mechanical tea processing is gradually replacing manual pan-frying. Currently, most tea processing machines are drum-type. During processing, tea leaves are placed in the drum, which is then heated from below while rotating. However, because the drum is circular, the tea leaves tend to accumulate at the bottom, making it difficult to disperse them. Furthermore, the temperature difference between the accumulated tea leaves and those adhering to the inner wall of the drum is significant, resulting in uneven heating, reduced processing quality, and wasted time, thus decreasing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a tea fixing machine, including a support base 1. The upper surface of the support base 1 is symmetrically provided with sliding grooves, and movable wheels 204 are movably mounted on the inner walls of the sliding grooves. A fixing frame 2 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the movable wheels 204, and sliding grooves 201 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the fixing frame 2. A movable block 305 is connected to the inside of the sliding groove 201 via a sliding block, and a rotating roller 3 is provided on the inner side of the movable block 305. The rotating roller 3 is located above the fixing frame 2. Furthermore, a paddle plate 302 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the rotating roller 3, and a paddle grabber 303 is fixedly connected to one end of the paddle plate 302. The paddle plate 302 and the paddle grabber 303 can turn the tea leaves inside the blanching frame 2, so as to prevent the tea leaves at the bottom of the blanching frame 2 from always contacting the inner wall of the blanching frame 2. Furthermore, a rotating shaft 304 is fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating roller 3, and one end of the rotating shaft 304 passes through the moving block 305 and is connected to a transmission component. A heating mechanism is provided on the lower surface of the support base 1, and a drive mechanism is provided on the support base 1.

[0020] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the transmission component includes a gear 301, and one side surface of the gear 301 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 304. A rack 205 is meshed with the side surface of the gear 301, and one side surface of the rack 205 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the slide groove 201. Through the cooperation of the gear 301 and the rack 205, the rotating roller 3 can be driven to rotate. During the rotation of the rotating roller 3, the tea leaves inside the blanching frame 2 can be turned over by the paddle plate 302 and the paddle grabber 303. The tea leaves at the bottom of the blanching frame 2 are always in contact with the inner wall of the blanching frame 2.

[0021] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a reciprocating screw 203 is rotatably connected inside the slide groove 201, and one end of the reciprocating screw 203 passes through the slider inside the slide groove 201 and is fixedly connected to the slide groove 201 with a motor I 202. A support plate 206 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the motor I 202, and one end of the support plate 206 is fixedly connected to one end of the blanching frame 2. The reciprocating screw 203 is threadedly connected to the slider. The motor I 202 and the reciprocating screw 203 can drive the slider inside the slide groove 201 to move, and can drive the moving block 305 to move back and forth along the blanching frame 2, thereby turning the tea leaves through the paddle plate 302 and the paddle grabber 303.

[0022] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the driving mechanism includes a support frame 402, and a crankshaft 404 is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the support frame 402. One end of the crankshaft 404 passes through the support frame 402 and is fixedly connected to a motor II 401. A collar 403 is sleeved on the side surface of the crankshaft 404. A driving rod 4 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the support frame 402, and one end of the driving rod 4 is hinged to one end of the blanching frame 2. This facilitates driving the blanching frame 2 to move back and forth on the upper surface of the support base 1 and prevents the tea leaves inside the blanching frame 2 from accumulating, thereby further improving the quality of tea blanching.

[0023] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the heating mechanism includes a heating furnace 101, and a feed inlet 105 is installed on the side surface of the heating furnace 101. Multiple sets of through holes 104 are opened on the lower surface of the heating furnace 101. Firewood is put into the interior of the heating furnace 101 through the feed inlet 105, and the tea leaves inside the fixing frame 2 are heated and fixed by burning the firewood. A support column 102 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the heating furnace 101, and a collection frame 103 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the support column 102. The collection frame 103 facilitates the collection of wood ash inside the heating furnace 101 and makes it convenient for subsequent workers to handle the wood ash.

[0024] In use, the tea leaves to be processed are first placed inside the processing frame 2. Then, firewood is fed into the heating furnace 101 through the feed inlet 105 and lit. Simultaneously, motor II 401 in the drive mechanism and motor I 202 at one end of the slide 201 are started. Motor II 401 drives the crankshaft 404 inside the support frame 402 to rotate, and the crankshaft 404, through the drive rod 4, drives the processing frame 2 to reciprocate on the upper surface of the support base 1. At this time, the processing frame 2 sieves the tea leaves, and simultaneously, motor I... 202 drives the reciprocating screw 203 to rotate, and the reciprocating screw 203 drives the moving block 305 to move back and forth along the fixing frame 2 through the slider. During the movement of the moving block 305, the rotating roller 3 cooperates with the rack 205 through the rotating shaft 304 and the gear 301, so that the rotating roller 3 will rotate. The rotation of the rotating roller 3 will drive the tread plate 302 and the tread gripper 303 to rotate. Therefore, the tread plate 302 and the tread gripper 303 will turn the tea leaves inside the fixing frame 2, so that the tea leaves inside the fixing frame 2 are heated evenly and the fixing quality of the tea leaves is improved.
