Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea-making equipment technology, specifically to an assembled non-stick pan tea-strip straightening device. Background Technology

[0002] Tea shaping is a core process in tea processing, shaping the tea leaves into tight, uniform shapes through physical action, while also promoting aroma formation. Chinese patent document CN206866520U discloses a tea shaping machine and related equipment. This machine incorporates a moving frame between the machine frame and the shaping pan, connected to a drive device. The drive device reciprocates the moving frame, which in turn drives the shaping pan. Since one end of the drive device is pivotally connected to the machine frame and the other end to the moving frame, when the machine is operating, the drive device drives the moving frame to oscillate around the hinge point on the machine frame, thereby driving the shaping pan to perform a corresponding reciprocating arc motion. This allows for more thorough turning of the tea leaves within the pan, facilitating the shaping process and improving tea quality. The overall structure of this tea shaping machine is simple, significantly reducing costs. Chinese patent document CN212852374U discloses a tea-stripping pot and a tea-stripping machine. The stainless steel pot of the tea-stripping machine has a stainless steel frame, and multiple tea-stripping pot grooves are integrally formed or welded inside the stainless steel frame. In the stainless steel pot of the tea-stripping machine, the tea-stripping pot grooves form an arc-shaped tea-stripping cavity, and the middle part is separated by tea-stripping protrusions that play a blocking role to achieve rapid tea-stripping. The stem in the middle of the tea-stripping machine is to block the tea leaves during the reciprocating processing and play a blocking role to achieve tea-stripping. The aforementioned existing tea-leaving machines all employ a reciprocating arc-shaped trough, which is an integral structure made of stainless steel (e.g., CN212852374U). They utilize external heating during the tea-leaving process (e.g., CN206866520U). This method presents the following problems: 1. During the heating process, the tea juice and pectin within the tea leaves easily seep out and adhere to the trough wall, affecting not only the even heating and shaping effect, but also causing scorched leaves. Furthermore, this is difficult to clean, impacting the quality of subsequent batches of tea. 2. The heating equipment causes temperature differences in different areas of the trough, resulting in extremely uneven heating and easily causing partial scorching of the tea leaves, affecting quality. 3. Once the integral trough is damaged, the entire trough needs to be replaced, leading to high maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an assembled non-stick tea leaf shaping device. This device, through the design of a composite pot structure, can achieve uniform heating, efficient heat preservation, and non-stick properties, while significantly reducing maintenance costs.

[0004] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A prefabricated non-stick tea-strip shaping device includes multiple tea-strip shaping trough modules. Each tea-strip shaping trough module includes an arc-shaped portion and a connecting portion. The arc-shaped portion includes a first connecting segment, a second connecting segment, and a U-shaped segment. The U-shaped segment is located between the first and second connecting segments. The first connecting segment has an arc-shaped structure with two snap-fit ​​grooves on its inner ring at the end furthest from the U-shaped segment. The second connecting segment has a straight structure with a connecting groove on its inner wall at the end furthest from the U-shaped segment. The connecting portion includes a third connecting segment, a fourth connecting segment, and a straight segment. The straight segment is located between the third and fourth connecting segments. The third connecting segment is positioned corresponding to the first connecting segment, and the first and third connecting segments form a ring structure. The fourth connecting segment is positioned corresponding to the second connecting segment.

[0005] Based on further optimization of the above scheme, the thickness of the U-shaped segment and the straight segment is 2mm, and the thickness of the combination of the first connecting segment and the third connecting segment, and the combination of the second connecting segment and the fourth connecting segment is 5mm.

[0006] Based on further optimization of the above scheme, the angle of the snap-fit ​​groove is 22.5°, and the angle between the side wall of the snap-fit ​​groove near the end of the first connecting segment and the side wall of the end of the first connecting segment is 22.5°. The angle between the adjacent side walls of the two snap-fit ​​grooves is 22.5°. The depth of the snap-fit ​​groove is greater than half the thickness of the first connecting segment. The arc length angle of the first connecting segment is greater than 180°.

[0007] Based on further optimization of the above scheme, the length of the connecting groove is 5mm, the depth of the connecting groove is half the thickness of the second connecting section, and the length of the second connecting section is 19-22mm.

[0008] Based on further optimization of the above scheme, the trough of the pot is made of ceramic material (the same material as household ceramic casseroles), and its inner wall is set with a smooth structure; the outer wall of the trough of the pot is provided with a flexible high-temperature resistant heat-conducting material layer, which is made of materials such as asbestos mesh, or ceramic fiber cloth woven from ceramic fibers and organic fibers (alumina, silicon dioxide, etc.).

[0009] The following are the technical effects of this utility model: This application utilizes a modular tea-forming pot trough composed of an arc-shaped section and a connecting section. This modular design eliminates the need to replace the entire tea-forming pot trough or base during maintenance; only the corresponding module needs to be replaced. This significantly reduces maintenance costs and facilitates disassembly and installation, enabling rapid replacement. Furthermore, the modular design, with its ceramic arc-shaped inner wall and non-stick properties, allows the tea leaves to move smoothly within the pot trough, resulting in longer adhesion time, higher tea-forming efficiency, and straighter, more rounded tea leaves without adhesion. This not only prevents residual tea juice or pectin from the previous batch from affecting the next batch during the tea-forming process but also facilitates cleaning of the inner wall of the tea-forming pot trough.

[0010] Furthermore, this application incorporates a flexible, high-temperature resistant, and heat-conducting material layer on the outer wall of the tea-forming pot, converting linear heat sources (i.e., heating resistance wires, heating rods, etc.) into surface heat sources. This avoids uneven heating and ensures uniform heating of the ceramic tea-forming pot's inner wall, significantly improving tea quality. Moreover, the tea-forming pot module of this application can be directly adapted to existing tea-forming machines, providing a convenient upgrade solution for tea-forming equipment, facilitating promotion and manufacturing, and demonstrating high practicality.

L The diameter is 19-22mm (preferably 20mm).

[0017] The connecting part includes a third connecting segment 21, a fourth connecting segment 22, and a straight segment 23. The straight segment 23 is located between the third connecting segment 21 and the fourth connecting segment 22. The third connecting segment 21 is provided corresponding to the first connecting segment 11 (e.g., Figure 1 As shown, the outer wall of the third connecting segment 21 away from the straight segment 23 is provided with two snap-fit ​​teeth corresponding to the two snap-fit ​​grooves of the first connecting segment 11, and the first connecting segment 11 and the third connecting segment 21 form a ring structure (as shown). Figure 1 As shown), the fourth connecting segment 22 is configured to correspond to the second connecting segment 12 (that is, the outer wall of the end of the fourth connecting segment 22 away from the straight segment 23 corresponds to the protrusion of the connecting groove 120 and is configured with a slot, such as...). Figure 1 (As shown). The thickness d3 of the U-shaped segment 13 and the straight segment 23 is 2mm. The thickness of the first connecting segment 11 and the third connecting segment 21 combined (i.e., the total thickness at the connection between the first connecting segment 11 and the third connecting segment 21) and the thickness of the second connecting segment 12 and the fourth connecting segment 22 combined (i.e., the total thickness at the connection between the second connecting segment 12 and the fourth connecting segment 22) are 5mm. Meanwhile, as... Figure 2 As shown, the thickness of the non-connected parts of the first connecting segment 11, the second connecting segment 12, the third connecting segment 21, and the fourth connecting segment 22 is also 5mm.

[0018] The groove of the pot (i.e., the material of the curved part and the connecting part) is made of ceramic (the same material as household ceramic casseroles, for example: using kaolin or clay as the base material, combined with auxiliary materials such as quartz sand and feldspar, and obtained through high-temperature sintering), and its inner wall (i.e. Figure 1 The upper surface shown is set as a smooth structure; the outer wall of the trough (i.e. Figure 1 A flexible high-temperature resistant thermal conductive material layer is provided on the lower surface shown. The flexible high-temperature resistant thermal conductive material layer is made of materials such as asbestos mesh, or ceramic fiber cloth woven from a blend of ceramic fibers and organic fibers (alumina, silicon dioxide, etc.).

[0019] Example 2: As a further optimization of the present invention, based on the solution of Embodiment 1, the present invention also provides a dough shaping machine, which includes a dough shaping pan 30, a mounting bracket 40, and multiple sets of dough shaping pan trough modules, such as... Figure 3 As shown: The slurry pot 30 adopts a cuboid frame structure and multiple cylindrical mounting brackets 40 are evenly arranged along the length direction on the upper side of its inner cavity. Multiple sets of slurry pot groove modules are sequentially installed on the mounting brackets 40 (that is, the mounting brackets 40 are located in the inner ring of the annular structure formed by the first connecting section 11 and the third connecting section 21); heating resistance wires are set on the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the slurry pot 30 and at the bottom of the slurry pot groove module.

[0020] Working principle: In use, the connecting part and the arc-shaped part are installed on the outer wall of the corresponding mounting bracket 40 in sequence according to the arrangement of the mounting bracket 40 of the tea-making machine. The first connecting section 11 of the arc-shaped part is engaged with the third connecting section 21 of the connecting part, and the second connecting section 12 of the arc-shaped part is combined with the fourth connecting section 22 of the next set of connecting parts to complete the installation of the tea-making pot module. Then, the regular tea feeding and tea-making can be carried out.

[0021] The specific specifications of the multiple sets of basting pan modules provided in this embodiment compared to the existing integrated stainless steel basting pan machine are as follows:

[0022] This application employs modular replacement; once the ceramic inner liner is damaged, only a single module needs to be replaced, or even just the ceramic inner liner itself, significantly reducing maintenance material and labor costs, thereby substantially increasing the equipment's annual effective operating time and total output. Simultaneously, due to uniform heating and the non-stick properties of the ceramic curved inner liner, the tea leaf shaping effect is improved, resulting in the production of high-grade tea leaves with straighter shapes, superior aroma, and better flavor.
