Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automatic tea drying and aroma enhancement machines, and in particular to an automatic tea drying and aroma enhancement machine. Background Technology

[0002] The automatic tea drying and aroma-enhancing machine is a tea processing equipment that integrates drying and aroma-enhancing functions. During operation, the tea leaves pass through the heating chamber at a uniform speed via a conveyor device. The heating system provides a stable heat source, allowing the tea leaves to evaporate moisture and complete the drying process at a suitable temperature. At the same time, the high temperature stimulates the transformation of substances contained in the tea leaves, enhancing their aroma.

[0003] Existing technologies often have the following drawbacks: Automatic tea drying and aroma-enhancing machines are often equipped with a blowing structure to improve the drying efficiency of tea. However, the air holes on the blowing structure are often blocked by tea residue during use. The blocked air holes will reduce the blowing efficiency, thereby reducing the subsequent performance of the drying and aroma-enhancing machine.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides an automatic tea drying and aroma-enhancing machine. Utility Model Content

[0030] Reference Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic tea drying and aroma-enhancing machine, including a cabinet 1, a cabinet door 2 rotatably installed on the surface of the cabinet 1, several air holes 5 opened on the inner side of the cabinet 1, a rotating frame 3 rotatably installed inside the cabinet 1, several storage frames 4 placed on the inner side of the rotating frame 3, a protective structure 6 provided on the inner side of the cabinet 1, and a collection structure 7 provided on the bottom side of the cabinet 1.

[0031] The specific design and function of its protective structure 6 and collection structure 7 will be explained below.

[0032] Reference Figures 1-5As shown in this embodiment: the protective structure 6 includes a positioning strip 62 fixedly connected to the inside of the cabinet 1. A rectangular plate 68 is detachably installed on the outside of the positioning strip 62. The surface of the rectangular plate 68 has positioning holes 69, the size of which matches the size of the positioning strip 62. A mesh plate 61 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rectangular plate 68. By setting the protective structure 6, the flexible covering of the air vent 5 is facilitated. Furthermore, the mesh plate 61 is detachable, facilitating regular cleaning. Protecting the air vent 5 prevents blockage and ensures proper cleaning, thus improving the performance of the automatic tea drying and aroma-enhancing machine. Two positioning blocks 65 are fixedly connected to the surface of the positioning strip 62. A locking frame 66, which is L-shaped, is slidably connected inside the positioning blocks 65. The locking frame 66 can be locked onto the surface of the rectangular plate 68 to complete the installation of the mesh plate 61. A spring 67 is fixedly connected between the locking frame 66 and the positioning blocks 65. Release the drive frame 64, and the retaining frame 66 will reset and lock under the action of the spring 67. A connecting plate 63 is fixedly connected to the surface of the positioning strip 62, and a drive frame 64 is slidably connected to the side wall of the connecting plate 63. The drive frame 64 has a V-shaped structure. The V-shaped structure drives the retaining frame 66 to slide inside the positioning block 65 against the elastic force of the spring 67, so that the rectangular plate 68 and the mesh plate 61 can be pulled out from the positioning strip 62 for cleaning.

[0033] Reference Figures 1-3 and Figure 6 As shown, specifically, the collection structure 7 includes a drawer frame 73 slidably connected to the bottom side of the cabinet 1. By setting up the collection structure 7, the collection and handling of tea leaves at the bottom of the cabinet 1 is facilitated, avoiding the difficulty in cleaning up leaves that fall onto the bottom wall of the cabinet 1, and further improving the performance of the automatic tea drying and aroma-enhancing machine. A pre-reserved groove 75 is provided on the surface of the drawer frame 73, and a baffle frame 74 is fixedly connected to the edge of the upper surface of the drawer frame 73. Leaves can be cleaned by pulling the drawer frame 73, and the pre-reserved groove 75 prevents the rotating frame 3 from affecting the drawer frame 73 when pulled. A guide strip 71 is fixedly connected to the inside of the cabinet 1, and the upper surface of the guide strip 71 has two inclined surfaces 72. The rotating frame 3 and the guide strip 71 are rotatably connected internally. The inclined surfaces 72 on the guide strip 71 facilitate the guidance of leaves, and the guided leaves will fall above the drawer frame 73, preventing the accumulation of leaves above the guide strip 71.

[0034] Working principle: When using this automatic tea drying and aroma-enhancing machine, first open the cabinet door 2, place the tea leaves into the storage frame 4 and place them on the rotating frame 3. After closing the cabinet door 2, start the equipment. The generated hot air is blown into the cavity through the air vents 5 on the inside of the cabinet 1. At the same time, the rotating frame 3 rotates to ensure that the tea leaves are heated evenly, achieving drying and aroma enhancement. During this process, the mesh plate 61 covers the outside of the air vents 5, which can intercept tea residue and prevent clogging of the air vents 5. When the mesh plate 61 is full of residue, press the drive frame 64. Its V-shaped structure drives the locking frame 66 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 67 and slide inside the positioning block 65, thus moving the rectangular plate 68 together with the mesh plate 61 from the positioning bar. After cleaning, the drive frame 64 is pressed again, and the positioning hole 69 of the rectangular plate 68 is aligned with the positioning strip 62 and inserted. The drive frame 64 is then released, and the clip frame 66 is reset and locked under the action of the spring 67, completing the installation of the mesh plate 61. By setting the protective structure 6, the flexible covering of the air hole 5 is facilitated. Furthermore, the mesh plate 61 is a detachable structure, which facilitates the regular cleaning of the mesh plate 61. By protecting the air hole 5, the phenomenon of the air hole 5 being blocked and difficult to clean is avoided, which improves the performance of the automatic tea drying and aroma-enhancing machine to a certain extent.

[0035] Tea leaves falling during the drying process slide into the drawer 73 at the bottom of the cabinet 1. The baffle 74 on the drawer 73 prevents the leaves from overflowing. The leaves can be cleaned by pulling the drawer 73. The reserved groove 75 prevents the rotating frame 3 from affecting the drawer 73. The inclined surface 72 on the guide bar 71 facilitates the guidance of the leaves. The guided leaves will fall on top of the drawer 73, preventing the accumulation of leaves on the guide bar 71. The collection structure 7 facilitates the flexible collection and processing of tea leaves at the bottom of the cabinet 1, avoiding the difficulty in cleaning leaves that fall on the bottom wall of the cabinet 1. This further improves the performance of the automatic tea drying and aroma-enhancing machine.

[0036] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
