Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing technology, and in particular to a fresh tea dehydration device for tea processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the tea processing industry, the dehydration of fresh tea leaves is a crucial step affecting tea quality and subsequent processing efficiency. To avoid damaging the fresh tea leaves during dehydration, heating is usually used. However, because the fresh tea leaves are directly piled inside the equipment, the surface and interior of the tea pile are heated differently, which easily leads to localized overheating or underheating. Tea leaves near the heat source may experience chlorophyll decomposition and aroma loss due to excessively high temperatures, while tea leaves further away from the heat source may not be completely dehydrated, resulting in excessive moisture residue. This problem of localized heating not only reduces dehydration efficiency and prolongs the processing cycle but also leads to inconsistent tea quality. Furthermore, it is difficult to guarantee that tea leaves picked in a concentrated manner are free of particulate impurities.

[0003] The utility application with application number CN202320758301.5 provides a fresh tea dehydration device, which uses a continuously rotating cylinder to hold tea leaves and fills the cylinder with hot air to improve the heating effect of the fresh tea. However, when the device is used, particulate impurities mixed in with the tea leaves continue to mix with the fresh tea leaves inside the cylinder, which affects the difficulty of subsequent tea processing. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model proposes a fresh tea leaf dehydration device for tea processing, which solves the problems in the prior art where localized heating easily occurs during the tea leaf heating and dehydration process, leading to reduced dehydration efficiency and the inability to reduce the continuous mixing of particulate impurities with the fresh tea during dehydration.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution, the circular cover is further provided with a locking strip fixedly connected to its surface, and the locking strip engages with the upper surface of the mounting platform when the device is in use.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution, a second filter plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circular cover, and the second filter plate blocks the exhaust port.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, a water-absorbing cloth is fixedly connected to the side of the second filter plate near the exhaust port, and the water-absorbing cloth covers the filter holes on the surface of the second filter plate.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the air outlet has a triangular structure, the width of the upper end of the air outlet is smaller than the width of the lower end, and the length of the air outlet is greater than the length of the drop opening.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the limiting component consists of a rod, a slide rail, and a slider, with the slider being fixedly connected to the rear surface of the air outlet.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the insertion rod is fixedly connected to the slide rail, and the insertion rod passes through the rear upright at the lower end of the mounting platform.

[0023] Reference Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a fresh tea dehydration device for tea processing, comprising: a mounting platform 1, a circular cover 3 rotatably connected to the upper surface of the mounting platform 1, the circular cover 3 being used to seal the fresh tea placement area, an exhaust port 14 provided on the surface of the circular cover 3 for venting hot air, a handle 7 fixedly connected to the front end of the circular cover 3, a drop opening 2 provided on the upper surface of the mounting platform 1, a first filter plate 9 fixedly connected inside the drop opening 2, the first filter plate 9 being used to hold the tea leaves and provide conditions for the falling off and separation of particulate impurities mixed in the tea leaves from the fresh tea, a mounting plate 4 fixedly connected to the lower end of the mounting platform 1, and a hot air blower 10 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting plate 4. A corrugated hose 11 is fixedly connected to the air outlet of the No. 0 filter plate 9. An air outlet head 12 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the corrugated hose 11. The hot air blower 10 works with the air outlet head 12 to provide continuous hot air to the No. 1 filter plate 9. The corrugated hose 11 has a stretchable structure to provide the air outlet head 12 with the conditions for left and right translation within a certain range. A rodless cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the mounting platform 1. The output end of the rodless cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the air outlet head 12. The rodless cylinder 6 is used to provide the power for left and right translation of the air outlet head 12. A limit component 15 is provided between the rear surface of the air outlet head 12 and the mounting platform 1. The limit component 15 increases the stability of the air outlet head 12 during left and right translation.

[0024] It also includes a retaining strip 8 fixedly connected to the surface of the circular cover 3. When the device is in use, the retaining strip 8 engages with the upper surface of the mounting platform 1, increasing the stability of the circular cover 3 during operation.

[0025] The inner wall of the circular cover 3 is fixedly connected to the second filter plate 5, which blocks the exhaust port 14 to prevent tea leaves from flying out through the exhaust port 14.

[0026] A water-absorbing cloth 13 is fixedly connected to the side of the second filter plate 5 near the exhaust port 14. The water-absorbing cloth 13 covers the filter holes on the surface of the second filter plate 5, absorbs the water vapor generated during the heating process, and reduces the impact of the exhaust port 14 on the heat preservation effect.

[0027] The air outlet 12 has a triangular structure. The width of the upper end of the air outlet 12 is smaller than the width of the lower end, and the length of the air outlet 12 is greater than the length of the drop opening 2, which improves the concentration of the blown hot air.

[0028] The limiting component 15 consists of a rod 16, a slide rail 17, and a slider 18. The slider 18 is fixedly connected to the rear surface of the air outlet 12, and the rod 16 is fixedly connected to the slide rail 17. The rod 16 passes through the rear upright at the lower end of the mounting platform 1, which facilitates quick contact with the limiting component 15 to restrict the air outlet 12 and improves the ease of disassembling the air outlet 12.

[0029] The following improvements have been made compared to existing technologies:

[0030] 1. Innovative design for blowing up and heating fresh tea: Using a No. 1 filter plate, a hot air blower, a corrugated hose, a round cover, and a rodless cylinder, the hot air blown upwards blows up the fresh tea that is spread out in the device. The spread fresh tea is then locally heated by moving it left and right at a uniform speed, which increases the looseness of the fresh tea during the dehydration process and improves the uniformity of heating.

[0031] Beneficial effects achieved:

[0032] 1. Use continuously blowing hot air to heat fresh tea. Use strong wind to blow the tea leaves directly upwards, allowing them to fall freely upon contact with the hot air. At the same time, use a side-to-side motion to locally heat the flat tea leaves, improving the overall efficiency of heating and dehydrating the fresh tea.

[0033] Based on the above innovations, this patent achieves uniform heating of fresh tea by using strong winds and the natural falling of the tea leaves, realizing an innovative breakthrough in a fresh tea dehydration device for tea processing. By blowing the tea leaves left and right at a uniform speed, the temperature of the area where the fresh tea is placed is increased, and the dispersion effect of the fresh tea is improved, providing a more efficient and uniform heating device for fresh tea.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
