Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing technology, and in particular to a high-temperature hot air furnace with high efficiency in heat dissipation. Background Technology
[0002] As the world's largest tea producer, my country's tea industry is a pillar industry in rural areas of southern mountainous regions. The efficiency and quality of tea processing directly affect tea farmers' income and the industry's competitiveness. In the initial processing of tea, fixation (or killing the green) is a crucial step that determines tea quality. Its core function is to destroy the enzyme activity in fresh leaves through high temperatures, while simultaneously releasing grassy odors and creating a unique aroma. Currently, the traditional fixation heating equipment widely used by tea farmers is mainly the ordinary contact-type hot air furnace. This type of equipment has the following significant technical defects in practical applications:
[0003] I. Low heating efficiency leads to extended production cycles
[0004] Traditional hot air furnaces typically employ a single-layer or simple double-layer structure, using coal, biomass pellets, or similar fuels. The radiant heat from fuel combustion is directly transferred to the tea leaves through a metal wok (contact heating). Due to outdated furnace design, the heat transfer path within the furnace is limited, and there is a lack of effective heat circulation, resulting in slow heating (usually requiring over 30 minutes to reach the 180-220℃ needed for fixing). This severely restricts the timeliness of tea processing. Especially during the peak spring tea harvesting season, inefficient fixing equipment becomes a bottleneck for increasing production capacity and may even lead to spoilage of the raw materials due to the inability to process fresh leaves in a timely manner.
[0005] II. Contact heating causes quality instability
[0006] Contact heating relies on direct heat conduction between the wok and the tea leaves. However, the temperature uniformity of different areas of the wok is difficult to control (temperature differences can reach over 30°C), easily causing localized overheating and scorching of the tea leaves or underheating (incomplete destruction of enzyme activity). This results in quality problems in the finished tea, such as cloudy liquor, mixed aromas, and uneven leaf appearance. Furthermore, traditional furnaces lack precise temperature control and heat storage buffer designs. Fluctuations in fuel combustion directly affect the furnace temperature, further exacerbating the instability of the fixation process and making it difficult to meet the demands of high-quality tea processing for refined processes such as "low-temperature slow fixation" and "high-temperature fast fixation."
[0007] To address the aforementioned issues, existing tea processing equipment, while attempting to heat and process tea leaves using traditional hot air furnaces, still relies on simple fans for air delivery and lacks a tiered airflow structure and balanced heat distribution design. This results in uneven hot air distribution within the processing area, leading to a phenomenon where the tea leaves are "overheated near the heat source and underheated further away." Furthermore, existing traditional hot air furnaces are not adapted to the heating and processing of tea leaves, and their components are not linked to a cooling system, resulting in significant heat loss. Therefore, developing a non-contact hot air processing device with efficient heat conduction, uniform temperature control, and waste heat recovery capabilities is an urgent need to improve tea processing quality and reduce energy consumption.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The following is a detailed explanation with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] Example 1
[0027] This invention provides a high-efficiency heat dissipation high-temperature hot air furnace, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a furnace body 100 and a guide fan 200 connected to the furnace body 100 are arranged sequentially from the outside to the inside as a furnace outer shell 101, a furnace middle cavity 102, and a furnace inner cavity 103 to form at least three internal spaces within the furnace body 100. A combustion chamber 104 is provided inside the hollow interior of the furnace body 100, connected to the hot air space 303 formed by the furnace inner cavity 103. A heat dissipation chamber 105 is also provided inside the furnace body 100, adjacent to but not connected to the combustion chamber 104. The heat dissipation chamber 105 is located in the heat dissipation space 301 formed between the furnace outer shell 101 and the furnace middle cavity 102. The heat dissipation chamber 105 is provided with a first opening 106 communicating with the exhaust port 201 of the guide fan 200. A plurality of second openings 107 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the vertical upper end of the furnace outer shell 101. This invention utilizes a layered design to create independent heat dissipation space 301 (between the furnace outer shell 101 and the furnace cavity 102) and heat storage space 302 (between the furnace cavity 102 and the furnace inner cavity 103), achieving functional zoning for "heat dissipation-heat storage-heating." This prevents the furnace outer shell 101 from melting due to high temperatures and reduces heat loss from the furnace inner cavity 103, thereby improving thermal efficiency. The combustion chamber 104 is connected to the hot air space 303, ensuring that the heat generated by combustion is directly used to heat the hot air. The heat dissipation chamber 105 is adjacent to the combustion chamber 104 but not connected, using airflow to remove excess heat from the periphery of the combustion chamber 105 and prevent localized overheating. The exhaust port 201 of the blower 200 is connected to the first opening 106 of the heat dissipation chamber 105, drawing out the heat-absorbing gas from the heat dissipation chamber 105 by suction. Since the heat dissipation space 301 is also provided with several second openings 107, when air is drawn from the first opening 106, the outside air enters the heat dissipation space 301 through the second opening 107 under the action of negative pressure, and forms forced convection heat dissipation in a way that traverses the interior of the heat dissipation space 301, which significantly improves the efficiency compared to natural heat dissipation.
[0028] According to a preferred embodiment, the vertical height of the first opening 106 is less than the vertical height of a plurality of second openings 107, and the first opening 106 and the plurality of second openings 107 are separated by a vertically arranged partition 108. The partition 108 is disposed within the heat dissipation space 301 and extends vertically through the heat dissipation space 301. The height of the first opening 106 is lower than that of the second openings 106, thereby forcing airflow from the space entering through the second openings 106 to the first opening 106. Furthermore, due to the partition 108 dividing the interior, the air can traverse every part of the heat dissipation space 301, forming orderly convection, extending the residence time of air within the heat dissipation space 301, and improving heat dissipation efficiency.
[0029] According to a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a horizontally oriented annular heat sink 109 is provided within the heat dissipation space 301. The annular heat sink 109 covers the horizontal cross-section of the annular heat dissipation space 301. A partition plate 108 penetrates the annular heat sink 109, dividing the heat dissipation space 301 into at least two spaces with its axis perpendicular to the direction of the first opening 106. The annular heat sink 109 increases the heat dissipation area, rapidly absorbing heat from the furnace body through metal thermal conductivity, while simultaneously guiding airflow for uniform distribution, avoiding dead airflow zones within the heat dissipation space 301. The partition plate 108 penetrates the annular heat sink 109, dividing the heat dissipation space 301 into multiple independent areas, causing air to flow along different paths after being split, further enhancing the uniformity and efficiency of heat dissipation.
[0030] According to a preferred embodiment, the annular heat sink 109 is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes 110 for air circulation. The portion of the spacer plate 108 located vertically below the annular heat sink 109 is also provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes 110. The plurality of heat dissipation holes 110 at the lower part of the annular heat sink 109 and the spacer plate 108 reduce airflow resistance, ensuring smooth airflow through the annular heat sink 109, while simultaneously increasing the contact area between the air and the annular heat sink 109, enhancing heat exchange, and preventing a decrease in heat dissipation efficiency due to airflow blockage.
[0031] According to a preferred embodiment, a first opening 106 is disposed vertically below the annular heat sink 109. A plurality of second openings 107 are disposed vertically above the annular heat sink 109. The annular heat sink 109 is disposed in the heat dissipation space 301 at a position corresponding to the combustion chamber 104. The first opening 106 below the annular heat sink 109 and the second openings 107 above it form a path of "air entering from above the annular heat sink 109 - passing through the annular heat sink 109 - exiting from below," allowing air to flow directly through the high-temperature area corresponding to the combustion chamber 104, specifically removing heat from the vicinity of the core heat source and improving the targeting of heat dissipation.
[0032] According to a preferred embodiment, the air outlet 202 of the guide fan 200 is configured to penetrate the heat dissipation space 301 and communicate with the heat storage space 302 formed between the furnace cavity 102 and the furnace inner cavity 103. The air outlet 202 is provided with a connecting pipe to communicate with the heat storage space 302 but not with the heat dissipation space 301. The second opening 107 of this invention is configured as a four-sided air intake on the furnace outer shell 101, which increases the air intake volume. External gas enters the second opening 107 through negative pressure, forming an airflow path of "four-sided air intake - penetrating the heat dissipation space 301 - exhausting from the first opening 106", so that the air traverses all parts of the furnace body, achieving uniform heat dissipation, and improving the overall heating efficiency from 1 hour to 10 minutes (hot air furnace body 300-400 degrees, easily melting the outer shell).
[0033] According to a preferred embodiment, a heat storage element 111 is provided within the heat storage space 302. The heat storage element 111 covers the outer wall of the furnace cavity 103 in a circumferential direction. The heat storage element 111 (such as a high specific heat capacity material) stores excess heat generated by combustion and releases it slowly during the heating process, reducing temperature fluctuations in the furnace cavity, ensuring stable hot air temperature, and reducing energy consumption caused by frequent heating.
[0034] According to a preferred embodiment, the hot air space 303 has an exhaust vent 112 communicating with the outside at its vertical end. The heat storage space 302 has a hot air inlet 113 at its vertical end. Preferably, the hot air inlet 113 is located on the opposite side of the heat storage space 302 relative to the air outlet 202 of the blower 200. Thus, hot air can flow through the heat storage space 302 to the hot air inlet 113, facilitating subsequent tea processing steps. This device is particularly suitable for heating tea leaves during the fixing process. By connecting the hot air inlet 113 to the area or container where the tea leaves are placed, heat is directly conducted to the tea leaves, ensuring even heating and improving the quality of the tea. The exhaust vent 112 is used to discharge the smoke and other gases generated during combustion in the combustion chamber 104, and it can be connected to external flue gas treatment equipment to prevent gas escape. Furthermore, the heat dissipation material in the combustion chamber 104 can be firewood, coal, or other fuels.
[0035] According to a preferred embodiment, a feed pipe 114 is provided at the vertical end of the combustion chamber 104. The feed pipe 114 passes through the heat dissipation space 301 and connects to the outside. The operator can directly add fuel to the combustion chamber 104 through the feed pipe 114. It should be noted that, because the feed pipe 114 is located on the inclined surface of the combustion chamber 104 and the hot air space 303 directly forms gas convection, the flue gas generated during combustion will not enter the feed pipe 114. Even if some flue gas does enter the feed pipe 114, it is negligible.
[0036] According to a preferred embodiment, a cleaning chamber 115 is provided at the vertically downward end of the combustion chamber 104. The cleaning chamber 115 contacts and is slidably connected to the vertical bottom surface of the furnace body 100. After the process is completed, the operator can remove the cleaning chamber 115 to periodically clean the residue after combustion, avoiding ash accumulation that affects the ventilation and combustion efficiency of the combustion chamber, extending the service life of the equipment. Maintenance is simple and does not require disassembly of the main structure. It should be noted that the sliding connection between the cleaning chamber 115 and the furnace body 100 is, for example, a drawer-type sliding connection. This implementation direction is clear and obvious, and therefore will not be described in detail. Furthermore, a mesh structure for supporting fuel is provided inside the combustion chamber 104, which can be made of metal. This mesh structure is schematically shown in the figures and is only for structural reference; it does not limit its specific arrangement or internal structure. Even without this mesh structure, the implementation of this invention is not affected.
