[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0024] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A fermentation device for a new type of tea production includes a fermentation chamber 1, a shelf 2 is provided in the fermentation chamber 1, each shelf 2 is provided with a receiving cavity 3, and at least two placing trays 4 are installed in each receiving cavity 3. Each placing tray 4 has several ventilation holes 41 at its bottom. The placing tray 4 is used to place tea leaves, and the ventilation holes 41 are used to ventilate and ferment the tea leaves to improve the fermentation efficiency. It should be noted that the inner diameter of the ventilation holes 41 is small and smaller than the outer diameter of the tea leaves to prevent the tea leaves from falling out of the ventilation holes 41 and detaching from the placing tray 4. A fermentation gas chamber 5 is also installed in each receiving cavity 3, wherein the fermentation gas chamber 5 is located between two longitudinally adjacent placing trays 4. A hot air supply device 6 is installed on the top of the fermentation chamber 1, and the hot air supply device 6 is connected to each fermentation gas chamber 5. The hot air supply device 6 transfers heat at an appropriate temperature to the placing trays 4 through the fermentation gas chambers 5, thereby fermenting the tea leaves in the placing trays 4. The vertically arranged multi-compartment tray 4 makes full use of space, allowing for the fermentation of more tea leaves and making it more adaptable.
[0025] In this embodiment, a movable door panel 7 is provided on the front side of the fermentation chamber 1 so that staff can put tea leaves into the placement tray 4 and place them on the shelf 2.
[0026] In this embodiment, the shelf 2 includes several horizontally and longitudinally arranged support plates 21, longitudinal plates 22 arranged on the left and right sides of the support plates 21, and a rear plate 23 arranged on the rear side of the support plates 21. The number of support plates 21 should be set according to the actual situation. In this embodiment, the number of support plates 21 is 10. The 10 support plates 21 are arranged at equal intervals to form a receiving cavity 3 with the same specifications and dimensions.
[0027] In this embodiment, the front and rear ends of the support plate 21 are bent to form C-shaped bends, with the side openings of the C-shaped bends facing the longitudinal plate 22 and being fitted and fixed to the longitudinal plate 22. The C-shaped bends are used to strengthen the overall strength of the support plate 21, and can also serve as connecting components to the longitudinal plate 22.
[0028] In this embodiment, a partition 8 is installed in the middle of each accommodating cavity 3. The partition 8 can be installed in the middle of the support plate 21 by welding or bolting. The partition 8 divides the accommodating cavity 3 into a support cavity for placing the placement tray 4. Each support cavity is set with the same specifications, and each placement tray 4 is also set with the same specifications. Each placement tray 4 corresponds to one support cavity. The same specifications allow for flexible replacement and better compatibility.
[0029] In this embodiment, the fermentation chamber 5 is flat and installed on top of the accommodating cavity 3. The fermentation chamber 5 is located between two longitudinally adjacent placement trays 4. The fermentation chamber 5 completely covers the two placement trays 4, thereby improving the fermentation efficiency and degree of fermentation of the tea leaves in the placement trays 4.
[0030] It should be added that the support plate 21 has several waist-shaped holes 9. The waist-shaped holes 9 connect two longitudinally adjacent placement trays 4, so that the hot air in the fermentation gas chamber 5 can enter the placement trays 4 through the waist-shaped holes 9.
[0031] In this embodiment, the partition 8 is T-shaped, and the fermentation gas box 5 abuts against the top of the partition 8 and is installed on the corresponding support plate 21 through a connector. Specifically, both the fermentation gas box 5 and the support plate 21 have pre-set installation threaded holes on their front sides. After the fermentation gas box 5 is installed in the corresponding accommodating cavity 3, it is fixed on the corresponding support plate 21 by the cooperation of the connecting piece and the fastening bolt.
[0032] In this embodiment, a plurality of air holes 51 are evenly distributed on the fermentation gas chamber 5. Each fermentation gas chamber 5 is connected to a hot gas supply device 6 via a connecting pipe. The hot gas supply device 6 transfers hot gas into each fermentation gas chamber 5 and evenly diffuses it into each placement tray 4 through the plurality of air holes 51.
[0033] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
