Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of tea beverage production equipment, and in particular relates to a tea beverage raw material aroma enhancement device. Background Technology

[0002] The aroma enhancement device for tea beverage raw materials is one of the key pieces of equipment in the tea beverage production and processing process. Its core function is to stimulate the aroma substances (such as terpenes, alcohols, esters, etc.) in the tea raw materials through specific processes, removing the astringent and off-flavors, thereby improving the aroma quality and flavor stability of the subsequent tea beverage products. In the industrial production of tea beverages, aroma enhancement directly affects the sensory experience of the final product and is a crucial step in determining the product's market competitiveness.

[0003] Currently, most commonly used aroma-enhancing devices for tea beverage ingredients in the industry adopt a "heating inside and outside the container + stirring" structural design. This type of device mainly consists of an outer shell and an inner container, forming a closed heating chamber. Multiple electric heating rods are fixedly installed inside the heating chamber. By energizing these rods, the temperature inside the heating chamber rises, and heat is then transferred to the inner container via heat conduction. The inner container, as the core space for ingredient processing, contains a motor-driven stirring mechanism (usually a stirring paddle or blade). In actual use, the operator first pours the tea beverage ingredients (such as tea leaves, tea powder, etc.) into the inner container all at once, then closes the inlet and starts the electric heating rods and stirring mechanism. The electric heating rods transfer heat to the inner container through the heating chamber, raising the internal temperature to the required process temperature for aroma enhancement. The stirring mechanism continuously stirs the ingredients to ensure even heating and achieve the aroma-enhancing effect. However, existing tea beverage raw material aroma enhancement devices have the following drawbacks in actual use: after a batch of tea beverage raw materials has completed the aroma enhancement process in the inner tank, the machine must be stopped first, and the internal temperature of the device must be allowed to drop to a suitable operating range before the discharge port can be opened to discharge the processed raw materials. After discharge, new raw materials must be loaded again. This "batch" processing method not only causes production interruptions and significantly reduces production efficiency, but also increases energy consumption due to frequent start-stop operations. At the same time, the drastic temperature fluctuations in the inner tank during each shutdown, unloading, and loading process may also affect the stability of the aroma enhancement effect, making it difficult to meet the requirements of modern tea beverage production lines for efficient and stable processing.

[0004] Therefore, it is essential to invent a device for enhancing the aroma of tea beverage ingredients. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the above problems, this utility model proposes a tea beverage raw material aroma enhancement device, and the technical solution used is as follows: A tea beverage ingredient aroma enhancement device includes a box, a support frame, a feed inlet, guide plates, connecting columns, a reciprocating mechanism, a gas supply mechanism, and a gas guiding mechanism. The box is fixed to the ground by the support frame. The feed inlet is located at the upper end of the box, and the discharge outlet is located at the lower end of the box. Several guide plates are hinged and rotatably mounted on the inner walls of both sides of the box, and the guide plates on the inner walls of both sides of the box are staggered. Connecting columns are hinged and rotatably mounted between adjacent guide plates. The uppermost guide plate is hinged and rotatably connected to the output end of the reciprocating mechanism, which is fixed to the box by bolts. The gas supply mechanism is bolted to the outer side of the box, and the output end of the gas supply mechanism is fixed to the gas guiding mechanism through a connector. The output ends of the gas guiding mechanism are respectively located on the upper side of the corresponding guide plates.

[0006] Furthermore, the reciprocating mechanism includes a housing, a lifting plate, a tension spring, a cam, an auxiliary rod, and a pull rod. The housing is fixed to the upper end of the box with bolts, and the lifting plate is slidably installed inside the housing. The upper side of the lifting plate is connected to the inner wall of the housing through several tension springs, and the cam is fitted against the upper side of the lifting plate. The cam is fixed to the output end of the servo motor, and the base of the servo motor is fixed to the housing with bolts. The servo motor is electrically connected to an external production computer through a data cable. The lower side of the lifting plate is fixed with an auxiliary rod by welding, and the lower end of the auxiliary rod is hinged to a pull rod. The lower end of the pull rod is hinged to a guide plate at the top, which allows the top guide plate to reciprocate.

[0007] Furthermore, the gas supply mechanism includes a protective shell, heating wires, and fans. The protective shell is fixed to the outer side of the housing with bolts, and several heating wires are fixed inside the protective shell with bolts. Several fans are fixed to the lower end of the protective shell with bolts, and the upper end of the protective shell is fixed to the input end of the gas guiding mechanism through a connector. The heating wires and fans are electrically connected to an external production computer through data cables. This configuration enables high-temperature gas to be delivered into the gas guiding mechanism.

[0008] Furthermore, a temperature sensor is fixed to the inner wall of the protective shell by bolts. The temperature sensor is electrically connected to an external production computer via a data cable. This arrangement allows the external production computer to control the heating power of the heating wire based on the detection data from the temperature sensor.

[0009] Furthermore, the air guiding mechanism includes an air supply pipe, a transfer pipe, and nozzles. Several transfer pipes are provided, and each transfer pipe is fixed to the inner wall of the box on the upper side of the corresponding guide plate by pipe clamps. Each transfer pipe is fixed to the output end of the air supply mechanism through an air supply pipe, and several nozzles are fixed to the outer side of each transfer pipe through a connector. The output ends of the nozzles all face the corresponding guide plates. This arrangement not only enhances the aroma of the tea leaves on the guide plates but also assists in the sliding of the tea leaves on the guide plates.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention allows tea beverage ingredients to be slowly and continuously poured into the box through the inlet. Inside the box, the ingredients are then discharged through the outlet under the guidance of a guide plate. The combination of the connecting column and the reciprocating mechanism improves the efficiency of the tea beverage ingredients passing through the box. Furthermore, the combination of the air supply and guiding mechanisms enhances the aroma of the tea beverage ingredients. Through these processes, the aroma of the tea beverage ingredients can be continuously enhanced. Additionally, as the tea leaves move on the guide plate, the ingredients are heated evenly.
