Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ripe tea production technology, and in particular to a ripe tea production composting equipment. Background Technology
[0002] The fermentation equipment for ripe Pu-erh tea production is a special equipment designed for the fermentation process of ripe Pu-erh tea, Liubao tea, and other types of tea. It is mainly used to control the temperature, humidity, oxygen supply and turning frequency of the tea pile in the fermentation process, so as to provide a stable environment for the fermentation of tea microorganisms.
[0003] Traditional tea pile cultivation equipment is not equipped with a dedicated turning mechanism. It relies entirely on manual labor using external tools such as shovels and forks to turn the tea pile. A single tea pile requires multiple workers to work together. First, the loose tea leaves on the outside of the tea pile are shoveled away, and then the forks are inserted into the deeper layers of the tea pile to pry open the compacted parts. The whole process is time-consuming and extremely labor-intensive. Moreover, the uniformity of manual turning is very poor: due to the limited length of the tools, it is difficult to turn the area below the bottom of the tea pile, and the tea leaves at the bottom are still in a compacted state, which can easily form fermentation dead zones. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a fermentation and cultivation device for ripe tea production, so as to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that fermentation and cultivation devices for ripe tea production require manual labor with the help of external tools to turn the tea leaves.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model relates to a fermentation and curing device for ripe tea production, comprising:
[0007] The composting assembly includes a stainless steel drum and a machine cover;
[0008] The machine cover is fixedly connected to the top of the stainless steel barrel;
[0009] The turning structure includes a motor, a gear disc, a connecting rod, a sleeve rod, and a fixed gear;
[0010] The motor is fixedly connected to the top of the cover, the gear plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the top of the gear plate, the sleeve is sleeved on one end of the connecting rod, and the fixed gear is fixedly connected to the upper part of one end of the sleeve.
[0011] Furthermore, the turning structure also includes a stirring head, a guide frame, and a storage tank;
[0012] The stirring head is fixedly connected to the lower part of one end of the sleeve rod, the guide frame is fixedly connected to the inside of the stainless steel barrel, and the storage barrel is fixedly connected to the bottom of the stainless steel barrel.
[0013] Furthermore, the gear disc and the fixed gear are meshed, and the stirring head is disposed inside the storage tank.
[0014] Furthermore, the sleeve extends through the interior of the guide frame.
[0015] Furthermore, the stacking assembly also includes a base;
[0016] The base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the stainless steel barrel.
[0017] Furthermore, it also includes adjusting the structure;
[0018] The adjustment structure includes a rotating groove, a movable cover, and an auxiliary groove;
[0019] The rotating groove is located on the outside of the machine cover, the movable cover is rotatably connected to the inside of the rotating groove, and the auxiliary groove is located at one end of the movable cover.
[0020] Furthermore, the adjustment structure also includes ventilation slots;
[0021] The ventilation slot is located at the top of the cover.
[0022] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0023] This invention, through the setting of a turning structure and the auxiliary cooperation between the motor and the toothed disc, allows the toothed disc to rotate while driving the sleeve rod to rotate, causing the stirring head to perform turning operations inside the storage tank. During the fermentation of tea leaves, it can automatically and evenly turn the tea leaves, thereby reducing the pile temperature. At the same time, the even turning increases the pile's contact with oxygen, achieving the effect of aerobic fermentation. This eliminates the need for workers to turn the tea leaves with external tools, reducing the workload of workers and preventing the tea leaves from piling up and affecting the fermentation effect.
[0024] Based on the aforementioned beneficial effects, an adjustment structure is provided. Through the auxiliary cooperation between the rotating trough and the movable cover, the auxiliary trough and a set of ventilation troughs can be aligned while the movable cover is rotated. The ventilation effect inside the stainless steel barrel can be adjusted according to the actual fermentation needs, so as to better remove the piled smell brought by fermentation, making the ripe tea produced by the pile-growing machine have a lighter piled smell, a more mellow taste, and a stronger aged aroma.
