Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of tea processing technology, specifically to a tea processing fermentation apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] Tea fermentation is a crucial step in tea processing, significantly impacting the quality, aroma, and taste of the tea. Traditional tea fermentation methods often rely on natural piling or simple equipment, resulting in uneven fermentation and cumbersome manual operation. Especially in large-scale production, traditional fermentation methods are inefficient, susceptible to environmental influences, and difficult to standardize and automate, ultimately affecting both overall tea quality and production efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an automated fermentation device that is structurally sound, easy to operate, can effectively control the fermentation environment, and improve the uniformity and quality of tea fermentation. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a tea processing and fermentation apparatus to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A tea processing and fermentation apparatus, comprising:

[0007] A fermenter, wherein a sealing door is bolted to one side of the fermenter, and the sealing door is kept sealed to the fermenter;

[0008] A drive motor is installed at the upper end of the fermenter, and the drive motor drives the drive column located inside the fermenter to rotate.

[0009] A mounting rod is installed on the outer side of the drive column, and a brush is installed on the lower side of the mounting rod.

[0010] A limit rod is fixed inside the fermentation tank, and a support frame is installed on the outside of the limit rod. An adjustment rod is installed at one end of the support frame, and a laying mesh plate is provided on the upper side of the support frame for placing tea leaves.

[0011] A hot air mechanism is installed on the lower side of the fermenter.

[0012] Optionally, the support frame is distributed at equal intervals in the fermentation tank, and the support frame is arranged in a corresponding manner with the laying mesh plate and the mounting rod.

[0013] Optionally, the mesh panels are arranged symmetrically about the center of the drive column.

[0014] Optionally, the support frame includes a mounting sleeve, which is sleeved on the outside of the drive column. The drive column and the mounting sleeve are rotatably connected. Several placement frames are fixed at equal angles on the outside of the mounting sleeve, and a reinforcing frame is fixed at the lower end of the placement frame.

[0015] Optionally, the placement rack and the reinforcing rack on one side are threadedly connected to the adjusting rod, while the placement rack and the reinforcing rack on the other side are slidably connected to the limiting rods installed on their inner sides.

[0016] Optionally, a number of limiting blocks are fixed on the inner side of the laying mesh plate, and the limiting blocks are engaged with the groove structure opened on the upper side of the mounting sleeve.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. The support frame and adjusting rod can be moved up and down to adjust the distance between the laying mesh and the installation rod and brush, effectively controlling the thickness of the tea leaves and avoiding excessive or insufficient layering, thus ensuring uniform fermentation.

[0019] 2. By engaging the limiting block with the grooved structure on the mounting sleeve, and sliding the limiting rod with the placement rack and reinforcement rack, the tea leaves are effectively prevented from rotating with the structure during the turning process, ensuring a stable and reliable fermentation process.

[0028] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] The present invention provides a tea processing fermentation device, including a fermentation tank 1. A sealing door 3 is bolted to one side of the fermentation tank 1. The sealing door 3 is sealed to the fermentation tank 1, so that the inside of the fermentation tank 1 is sealed and external impurities are prevented from entering.

[0030] A drive motor 2 is installed at the upper end of the fermentation tank 1, and the drive motor 2 drives the drive column 4 located inside the fermentation tank 1 to rotate.

[0031] A mounting rod 11 is installed on the outer side of the drive column 4, and a brush 12 is installed on the lower side of the mounting rod 11.

[0032] A limiting rod 8 is fixed inside the fermentation tank 1, and a support frame 9 is installed on the outside of the limiting rod 8. An adjusting rod 7 is installed at one end of the support frame 9. A laying mesh plate 5 is set on the upper side of the support frame 9. The laying mesh plate 5 is used to place tea leaves. The lower side of the laying mesh plate 5 is a mesh structure to facilitate air permeability.

[0033] The support frame 9 is distributed at equal intervals in the fermentation tank 1. The support frame 9 is set in correspondence with the laying mesh plate 5 and the installation rod 11, so that each layer of laying mesh plate 5 has a corresponding brush 12 for flat laying.

[0034] The laying mesh 5 is symmetrically arranged about the center of the drive column 4, so that each layer of laying mesh 5 can be combined to form a complete circle. It is also easy to disassemble and remove the laying mesh 5 from the opening on one side of the fermentation tank 1, which makes it easy to put the laying mesh 5 in and out.

[0035] The support frame 9 includes a mounting sleeve 901, which is sleeved on the outside of the drive column 4. The drive column 4 and the mounting sleeve 901 are rotatably connected, thereby preventing the mounting sleeve 901 from rotating with the drive column 4. Several placement frames 902 are fixed at equal angles on the outside of the mounting sleeve 901. A reinforcing frame 903 is fixed at the lower end of the placement frame 902. The placement frame 902 and the reinforcing frame 903 on one side are threadedly connected to the adjusting rod 7. The placement frame 902 and the reinforcing frame 903 on the other side are slidably connected to the limiting rod 8 installed on their inner sides, so that after the adjusting rod 7 rotates, it can drive the support frame 9 to move up and down, thereby moving the support frame 9 away from or close to the mounting rod 11, thus facilitating the limitation of the tea leaf laying thickness on the upper side of the laying mesh plate 5.

[0036] Several limiting blocks 10 are also fixed on the inner side of the laying mesh plate 5. The limiting blocks 10 and the groove structure opened on the upper side of the mounting sleeve 901 form a snap-fit ​​connection, so that the laying mesh plate 5 and the support frame 9 form a snap-fit ​​installation, preventing the brush 12 from driving the laying mesh plate 5 to rotate during the rotation process.

[0037] A hot air mechanism 6 is installed on the lower side of the fermentation tank 1 to heat the internal environment of the fermentation tank 1 and provide a good fermentation environment;

[0038] A temperature and humidity sensor is also installed on the outside of fermenter 1 to facilitate monitoring of the temperature and humidity inside fermenter 1.

[0039] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way (as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features). For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described; these embodiments not explicitly written should also be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
