Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of tea beverage production technology, and more specifically, to a cooling device for tea beverage production. Background Technology

[0002] Tea beverages refer to tea soup made by steeping tea leaves in water and then extracting, filtering, and clarifying them, or products made by adding water, sugar solution, acidulants, edible flavorings, fruit juice, or plant (grain) extracts to the tea soup. Tea beverages require cooling during production. For example, Chinese patent CN202023090881.0 discloses a cooling device for tea beverage production, which includes: a base plate and a work cabinet. The work cabinet is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate. Two heat-insulating rings are installed on the top of a support block, connected by a connecting piece. A protective box is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting piece, and a snap-fit ​​block is movably connected inside the connecting piece. A condenser pipe is installed on the top of the heat-insulating ring. This cooling device for tea production uses a combination of rigid springs, telescopic rods, and locking blocks. Since there are two connecting plates, each of the two connecting plates has a movable groove inside. The telescopic rod is movably connected inside the movable groove. By inserting the telescopic rod, the locking block can be engaged. Rotating the telescopic rod again will rotate the locking block and lock it into the bottom of the connecting plate for fixation. The whole process achieves quick and easy assembly and disassembly.

[0003] However, this existing technology has certain limitations in its use. After the operator opens the upper insulation ring, they can only inspect and maintain the upper part of the condenser tube. The production sleeve needs to be raised to inspect and maintain the lower part of the condenser tube, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inconvenient to use. Summary of the Invention

[0038] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this application provides a cooling device for tea beverage production, including a frame 1, a production sleeve 2, a heat preservation component 3, a lifting component 4, a condensation component 5, and a temporary support component 6;

[0039] The insulation component 3 can be sleeved on the outside of the production sleeve 2, and the insulation component 3 includes a first insulation half cylinder 31 and a second insulation half cylinder 32 that can be assembled and connected. The first insulation half cylinder 31 is movably set on the frame 1 through the lifting component 4.

[0040] The condensation assembly 5 includes a condenser tube 51, which is coiled on the outside of the production sleeve 2 and located inside the insulation assembly 3;

[0041] Temporary support assembly 6 is mounted on frame 1 and is used to support production sleeve 2.

[0042] In use, the condenser tube 51 cools the tea products inside the production sleeve 2. The insulation component 3 is fitted on the outside of the production sleeve 2 to keep the condenser tube 51 warm. When the condenser tube 51 needs to be inspected and maintained, the second insulation half-tube 32 is opened and removed. Then, the production sleeve 2 is lifted by the temporary support component 6, and then the first insulation half-tube 31 is lowered away from the production sleeve 2 by the lifting component 4, so that the operator can inspect and maintain the condenser tube 51.

[0043] The device features a temporary support component 6 for independent load-bearing and a lifting component 4 to move the first insulation half-cylinder 31 away from the production sleeve 2. This allows operators to perform comprehensive inspection and maintenance on the condenser tube 51 without lifting the production sleeve 2, saving time and effort and improving ease of use.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the temporary support assembly 6 includes a support plate 61, a sliding sleeve 62, a sliding rod 63, a screw rod 64, and a screw sleeve 65. The sliding rod 63 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1, and the screw rod 64 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1 via a bearing. The sliding sleeve 62 is slidably mounted on the sliding rod 63, and the screw sleeve 65 is threadedly mounted on the screw rod 64. Both the sliding sleeve 62 and the screw sleeve 65 are fixedly connected to the support plate 61, and the support plate 61 can abut against the bottom of the production sleeve 2.

[0045] In use, rotating the screw 64 causes the screw sleeve 65 to rise, and the support plate 61 rises with the screw sleeve 65 until it abuts against the bottom of the production sleeve 2, thus supporting the production sleeve 2; the sliding sleeve 62 and the sliding rod 63 work together to guide and limit the support plate 61, and the support plate 61 achieves stable support through thread self-locking.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom of the first insulation half-cylinder 31 is provided with a first through hole 33, through which the support plate 61 can pass and close the first through hole 33; during normal use, the support plate 61 is positioned to close the first through hole 33, forming a complete insulation cavity, which effectively ensures the condensation effect of the condenser tube 51.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the lifting assembly 4 includes a hydraulic cylinder 41, which is fixedly mounted on the frame 1, and the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 41 is connected to the first heat-insulating half-cylinder 31.

[0048] When in use, the hydraulic cylinder 41 is activated to drive the first insulation half-cylinder 31 to move up and down.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the condensing assembly 5 also includes a condenser 52, which is mounted on the frame 1. Both ends of the condensing tube 51 are connected to the condenser 52. The two ends of the condensing tube 51 and the condenser 52 form a closed loop. The refrigerant evaporates and absorbs heat inside the tube, and then circulates after being dissipated by the condenser 52. This works in conjunction with the insulation assembly 3 to achieve continuous cooling.

[0050] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a second through hole 34 is provided at the connection between the first insulation half-cylinder 31 and the second insulation half-cylinder 32, through which the condenser tube 51 can pass. By providing the second through hole 34, the condenser tube 51 will not interfere with the disassembly and assembly of the first insulation half-cylinder 31 and the second insulation half-cylinder 32.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the two ends of the production sleeve 2 are respectively provided with a water inlet pipe 21 and a water outlet pipe 22; the tea product is injected into the production sleeve 2 through the water inlet pipe 21 and discharged through the water outlet pipe 22 after cooling.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a connecting plate 35 is fixedly provided on both the first insulation half-cylinder 31 and the second insulation half-cylinder 32, and the corresponding connecting plates 35 are detachably connected by bolts; the first insulation half-cylinder 31 and the second insulation half-cylinder 32 are quickly locked by the connecting plate 35 bolts, and can be separated by simply loosening the bolts when disassembling.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, two temporary support components 6 are provided, and a handle 66 is provided at the end of the screw 64 away from the screw sleeve 65; the two temporary support components 6 bear the weight evenly, improving the lifting stability; the handle 66 makes it easy for the operator to apply force to rotate the screw 64, improving the ease of use.

[0054] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom of the frame 1 is provided with casters 11 with locking components; the casters 11 can improve the deployment flexibility of the device, and the locking components can improve the stability of the device in use.

[0055] Working principle: When the cooling device for tea production provided in this application is in use, the condenser tube 51 cools the tea product inside the production sleeve 2. The heat preservation component 3 is sleeved on the outside of the production sleeve 2 to preserve the condensation effect of the condenser tube 51. When the condenser tube 51 needs to be inspected and maintained, the second heat preservation half-cylinder 32 is opened and removed. Then, the handle 66 is turned to drive the screw 64 to rotate. The screw 64 drives the screw sleeve 65 to rise. The support plate 61 rises with the screw sleeve 65 until it abuts against the bottom of the production sleeve 2, which can lift the production sleeve 2. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 41 is opened to drive the first heat preservation half-cylinder 31 to descend away from the production sleeve 2, and the operator can then inspect and maintain the condenser tube 51.

[0056] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
