Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing technology, and in particular to a bamboo tea canister. Background Technology
[0002] Bamboo tube tea is a type of tea with unique flavor and cultural connotations. It uses fresh bamboo tubes as the fermentation medium, and the core process includes filling the tubes with tea, roasting, pressing, and drying. Through the soaking of bamboo juice and anaerobic fermentation, a complex flavor is formed, which is interwoven with bamboo fragrance, honey sweetness and tea flavor. The finished product is a cylindrical compressed tea block. When brewing, you break off a piece and steep it in boiling water. The tea soup has both bamboo fragrance and tea mellowness. It can be used as a beverage or pickled in dishes.
[0003] After the existing bamboo tube tea is roasted and dried, the tea leaves are compacted and the bamboo walls are hardened. Most of the time, it is necessary to use knives or hammers to forcibly break the tube to extract the tea, which can easily lead to broken tea leaves and bamboo shavings mixed in. This not only affects the integrity and hygiene of the tea, but also poses a risk of injury to the operators.
[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a bamboo tea canister to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a bamboo tea canister. By pressing down on the connecting column, the dried bamboo tube is cut, improving tea extraction efficiency and operational safety. During the slow roasting process, the internal components of the damp bamboo tube are continuously released into the tea leaves under the action of heat, allowing the aroma of tea and bamboo to blend together, thereby improving the quality of the tea.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A bamboo tea canister includes a fixed post and a bamboo tube. A connecting post is fixedly installed on one side of the fixed post. Two cutting blades are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the connecting post near the fixed post. A connecting hole is opened on the side of the connecting post away from the fixed post. A storage hole is opened on one side of the bamboo tube. A storage rack is provided at the lower end of the bamboo tube.
[0007] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the fixing post is smaller than the inner diameter of the storage hole, and the fixing post is sleeved inside the storage hole.
[0008] Furthermore, the inner diameter of the connecting hole is larger than the outer diameter of the bamboo tube, and the outer part of the bamboo tube is fitted inside the connecting hole.
[0009] Furthermore, the two cutting blades are parallel, and the cutting edges of both cutting blades are located inside the connecting hole on the side away from the fixing post.
[0010] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the connecting column is larger than the outer diameter of the fixed column, and a rubber pad is fixedly installed on the side of the fixed column away from the connecting column.
[0011] Furthermore, the connecting post has anti-slip texture on its exterior, and the fixing post has anti-slip texture on its exterior side near the connecting post.
[0012] Furthermore, the lower end of the placement rack is provided with anti-slip texture, and the lower end of the placement rack is flat.
[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model proposes a bamboo tea canister. When tea needs to be taken out, align the connecting hole at the lower end of the connecting post with the opening at the upper end of the bamboo tube, hold the fixed post and apply vertical downward force to make the connecting post slide along the outer wall of the bamboo tube. When the cutting blade inside the connecting post contacts the top of the bamboo tube, continue to apply pressure so that the cutting blade edge applies force to the bamboo wall to achieve cutting. The two parallel blades can ensure that the cut is flat and the force is even. At the same time, it can effectively prevent the bamboo tube from splitting or the fragments from flying. After cutting, gently pull the two sides of the bamboo tube to break it open smoothly, and then easily take out the bamboo tube tea pieces inside. The whole tea taking process is safe and efficient.
[0014] 2. The bamboo tea canister proposed in this utility model allows the operator to gradually fill the damp bamboo tube with processed tea leaves through the storage hole during the tea filling process. During this process, the operator can hold the connecting post and insert the fixing post into the storage hole, using the pushing action to compact the tea leaves layer by layer inside the bamboo tube, achieving tight filling and improving the filling density and uniformity of the tea leaves. After the tea leaves are filled, the bamboo tube is placed over a low flame and slowly baked while continuously and evenly rotating. As the temperature rises, the substances contained inside the bamboo tube are activated and seep out, fully integrating with the compacted tea leaves. At the same time, the heat gradually evaporates the moisture in the tea leaves and bamboo wall, gradually drying the originally damp bamboo tube and tea leaves, further enhancing the integration of bamboo aroma and tea aroma.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0018] Reference Figures 1-5 One embodiment provided by this utility model: A bamboo tea canister includes a fixing post 1 and a bamboo tube 3. A connecting post 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing post 1. Two cutting blades 5 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the connecting post 2 near the fixing post 1. A connecting hole 7 is opened on the side of the connecting post 2 away from the fixing post 1. A storage hole 6 is opened on one side of the bamboo tube 3. A storage rack 4 is provided at the lower end of the bamboo tube 3. The outer diameter of the fixing post 1 is smaller than the inner diameter of the storage hole 6. The fixing post 1 is fitted inside the storage hole 6. The inner diameter of the connecting hole 7 is larger than the outer diameter of the bamboo tube 3. The bamboo tube 3 is fitted inside the connecting hole 7. The two cutting blades 5 are parallel. The cutting edges of the two cutting blades 5 are both located inside the connecting hole 7 on the side away from the fixing post 1. The outer diameter of the connecting post 2 is larger than the outer diameter of the fixing post 1. A rubber pad is fixedly installed on the side of the fixing post 1 away from the connecting post 2. The connecting post 2 has anti-slip texture on its outer side. The fixing post 1 has anti-slip texture on the side of the fixing post 1 close to the connecting post 2. The lower end of the placement rack 4 has anti-slip texture. The lower end of the placement rack 4 is flat. Specifically, before processing, the damp bamboo tube 3 is thoroughly cleaned by rinsing with clean water to remove surface impurities and some of the attached moisture, and then the astringency is removed to ensure that the inside of the bamboo tube 3 is clean and free of astringency. At the same time, the tea leaves to be filled are lightly steamed to soften them and maintain a certain degree of toughness, which makes it easier to fill them tightly later and also allows them to absorb the aroma of the bamboo tube 3. After the bamboo tube 3 and tea leaves have completed their initial processing, the softened tea leaves are slowly and gradually filled into the damp bamboo tube 3 in batches through the inlet of the bamboo tube 3. At this time, the operator can hold the anti-slip texture on the outside of the connecting post 2 with one hand and use the other hand to help stabilize the bamboo tube 3. The fixing post 1 is aligned with the inlet of the bamboo tube 3 and slowly inserted. The rubber pad at the bottom of the fixing post 1 will contact the tea leaves inside the bamboo tube 3. The rubber pad is used to provide cushioning when compacting the tea leaves and prevent damage to the tea leaves. Through the compression of the fixing post 1, the tea leaves are gradually and tightly filled into the bamboo tube 3 to avoid gaps and prevent uneven heating of the tea leaves during subsequent roasting. During the filling process, the tea leaves can be added in batches according to the capacity of the bamboo tube 3, so that a small amount of space is reserved inside the bamboo tube 3 to cope with the slight expansion during roasting. After the tea leaves are filled, place the bamboo tube 3 next to the low-heat roasting device and roast it slowly. During the roasting process, the operator needs to continuously rotate the bamboo tube 3 to ensure that the outer wall of the bamboo tube 3 is heated evenly and to avoid local scorching. As the roasting proceeds, the bamboo aroma and sugar contained inside the bamboo tube 3 are gradually released under the action of heat and slowly released into the tightly filled tea leaves. At the same time, the heat will gradually evaporate the moisture remaining in the tea leaves and bamboo tube 3, so that the originally damp bamboo tube 3 and tea leaves will gradually dry, and promote the deep integration of bamboo aroma and tea aroma in the high-temperature environment. Once the bamboo tube 3 is roasted, transfer it to the support surface of the rack 4. Since the bottom of the rack 4 is flat and has anti-slip texture, even if the work surface is damp or has residual water stains due to roasting, the rack 4 can be placed stably and will not slide or tip over. This allows the bamboo tube 3 to cool naturally on the rack 4, which can prevent the bamboo tube 3 from absorbing moisture again due to direct contact with the table. It also allows the bamboo tube 3 and tea to cool down slowly in a stable environment, preventing the bamboo tube 3 from cracking due to sudden temperature changes. At the same time, it makes the aroma after blending more stable. After the bamboo tube 3 has completely cooled, first align the connecting hole 7 at the lower end of the connecting post 2 with the inlet at the upper end of the bamboo tube 3. Then, a professional operator holds the anti-slip texture on the outside of the fixing post 1 with one hand and assists in fixing the bamboo tube 3 with the other hand, slowly applying even downward force to make the connecting post 2 slide vertically downward along the outside of the bamboo tube 3. When the upper end of the bamboo tube 3 enters the inside of the connecting hole 7 and contacts the two parallel cutting blades 5 inside the hole, continue to maintain a stable downward pressure and use the sharp edge of the blade to cut the bamboo tube 3. Since the two blades are parallel, it is easy to achieve a smooth and flat cut on the bamboo tube 3, avoiding the skewed cut caused by uneven cutting force, reducing bamboo chips mixed into the tea, ensuring the cleanliness of the tea, and improving the quality of the finished product. The cutting blades 5 are made of stainless steel, which is corrosion-resistant and can avoid contaminating the tea. The cutting blades 5 can be detachably fixed in the connecting hole 7 by bolts. After cutting, remove the connecting post 2, gently pull the two sides of the bamboo tube 3 to make the bamboo tube 3 naturally break along the cut. Then you can take out the tea leaves that are tightly filled inside the bamboo tube 3. The whole operation does not require any additional knives. The steps are simple and efficient. The roasting temperature and time of the tea leaves inside the bamboo tube 3, or the rotation method of the bamboo tube 3, are all mature and publicly available technologies. Therefore, their specific structures and working principles will not be elaborated upon in this document. The standard parts used in this application can all be purchased from the market, and the irregular parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part all adopt mature bolts, rivets, welding and other conventional methods in the prior art. The mechanical parts, components and equipment all adopt conventional models in the prior art. Therefore, they will not be elaborated upon in detail. All contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.
[0019] Working principle: When using, first clean the bamboo tube 3 to remove astringency and make it clean. Then, lightly steam the tea leaves to soften them. Next, put the pre-processed tea leaves into the relatively damp bamboo tube 3 little by little through the inlet. The operator can hold the connecting column 2 to insert the fixing column 1 into the bamboo tube 3 through the inlet. Repeat this process to make the tea leaves tightly fill the bamboo tube 3. Then, continue to add tea leaves through the inlet. Next, slowly bake the bamboo tube 3 filled with tea leaves over a low flame and keep rotating the bamboo tube 3 to make its exterior heat evenly. After the bamboo tube 3 is heated, its fragrance and sugar will be forced out and released into the tightly packed tea leaves. The heat will gradually evaporate the moisture in the tea leaves and bamboo tube 3, so that the damp bamboo tube 3 and tea leaves will be gradually dried, thus blending the bamboo fragrance and tea fragrance. After the bamboo tube 3 is dried, it is placed on the upper part of the rack 4. The lower part of the rack 4 is flat and has anti-slip texture. The rack 4 can not only be placed stably on the work table or next to the baking equipment to avoid the rack sliding due to the dampness of the table, but also facilitates the natural cooling of the dried bamboo tube 3. After the bamboo tube 3 has cooled down, align the connecting hole 7 at the lower end of the connecting post 2 with the inlet at the upper end of the bamboo tube 3. Then, hold the fixing post 1 and apply downward force, so that the inside of the connecting post 2 slides vertically downward outside the bamboo tube 3. After the upper end of the bamboo tube 3 contacts the two parallel cutting blades 5 inside the connecting hole 7, continue to apply force, so that the cutting edge of the cutting blade 5 applies force to the bamboo tube 3, thereby cutting the bamboo tube 3. The two parallel blades can ensure a clean cut. Then, remove the connecting post 2, and then pull the bamboo tube 3 to break it open. After that, the tea leaves inside the bamboo tube 3 can be taken out.
[0020] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
