Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing technology, and in particular to a tea withering trough that is easy to use. Background Technology
[0002] Withering is a crucial initial processing step in the processing of teas such as black tea and white tea. Its purpose is to promote the transformation of substances within fresh leaves through appropriate water loss, laying the foundation for subsequent processes. The withering trough, as the core equipment for this process, directly affects the uniformity and efficiency of withering, and thus the final quality of the tea.
[0003] Before withering, fresh leaves need to be spread evenly on the placement board of the withering trough. Currently, this is mainly done manually using tools such as rakes. This method is not only labor-intensive and inconvenient to operate, but also has low leveling efficiency and makes it difficult to ensure the absolute uniformity of the tea layer thickness. Uneven tea spreading will directly lead to inconsistent moisture evaporation rates during withering, affecting the uniformity of the withered leaves and ultimately damaging the quality of the finished tea.

[0016] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0017] Reference Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a user-friendly tea withering trough, comprising: a withering trough body 1, a transmission assembly 2, and a leveling assembly 3; the withering trough body 1 forms the basic frame of the equipment, and a placement plate 101 for carrying tea is fixedly installed inside it. The placement plate 101 is usually designed with holes to facilitate ventilation. An axial flow fan 104 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the withering trough body 1 to provide controllable airflow into the trough to promote tea withering. A storage box 102 is also provided on the top of the withering trough body 1 for storing tea to be withered. A downwardly inclined discharge hopper 103 is fixedly connected to one side of the storage box 102 to facilitate the directional flow of tea.
[0018] The transmission assembly 2 is responsible for driving the key components to move. Connecting blocks 203 are fixedly connected at the four corners of the top of the withering tank body 1. A first motor 204 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting block 203. A horizontal threaded rod 202 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 204. The end of the threaded rod 202 away from the first motor 204 is rotatably connected to the corresponding connecting block 203 through the mounting seat to ensure its stable rotation. A guide rod 212 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting block 203 and is set parallel to the threaded rod 202. A horizontal movable plate 201 is threadedly connected to the four threaded rods 202 at the same time and slidably connected to the four guide rods 212.
[0019] Specifically, when the first motor 204 starts, it drives the threaded rod 202 to rotate, causing the movable plate 201 to move smoothly along the guide rod 212.
[0020] The leveling component 3 is used to flatten and arrange the tea leaves. It is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate 201 of the transmission component 2. The leveling component 3 mainly includes a second motor 301 and a leveling plate 302. The output shaft of the second motor 301 is directly fixedly connected to the leveling plate 302.
[0021] Specifically, when the movable plate 201 moves, the second motor 301 can be started to drive the spreading plate 302 to rotate, so that the piled or uneven tea leaves can be evenly spread on the placement plate 101.
[0022] An electric telescopic rod 209 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate 201. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 209 is fixedly connected to a mounting frame 208. A roller 210 is rotatably connected inside the mounting frame 208. A plurality of slender cleaning spikes are axially fixedly connected to the roller 210. The shape and size of these cleaning spikes are designed to match the holes on the placement plate 101. At the same time, a scraper 211 is fixedly installed inside the mounting frame 208, adjacent to the roller 210.
[0023] Specifically, when the electric telescopic rod 209 extends and the mounting frame 208 descends, the roller 210 and the shovel 211 both come into contact with the surface of the placement plate 101. The cleaning spikes on the roller 210 can be inserted into and clean the holes in the placement plate 101, while the shovel 211 is responsible for pushing and removing any remaining tea leaves or impurities on the plate.
[0024] The storage box 102 is not directly fixed to the movable plate 201, but is connected through a buffer mechanism: a damping rod 205 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable plate 201, a spring 206 is fitted on the damping rod 205, and a support plate 207 is fixedly connected to the top of the damping rod 205. The storage box 102 is fixedly installed on the top of the support plate 207. This design enables the storage box 102 to effectively reduce vibration when the equipment is running or moving.
[0025] Working principle: When in use, the tea leaves to be withered are placed into the storage box 102. The tea leaves fall onto the placement plate 101 through the discharge hopper 103. The first motor 204 is started to drive the threaded rod 202 to rotate, which drives the movable plate 201 to move horizontally along the guide rod 212, thereby moving the leveling component 3 fixed at its bottom. At the same time, the second motor 301 is started to drive the leveling plate 302 to rotate, so that the accumulated tea leaves are evenly spread on the surface of the placement plate 101. The axial flow fan 104 provides controllable airflow to penetrate the holes of the placement plate 101 to promote withering. When cleaning is required, the electric telescopic rod 209 extends to lower the mounting frame 208. The cleaning spikes of the roller 210 are inserted into the holes of the placement plate 101 to unclog them. At the same time, the scraper plate 211 scrapes off the residue on the plate surface. The storage box 102 is damped by the buffer mechanism composed of the damping rod 205 and the spring 206.
[0026] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
