The outer end of the gear 9 is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 8, and the outer end of the base 5 is fixedly connected to a rotating arm 6 used in conjunction with the rotating rod 8. The interior of the base 1 is located at the lower side of the base 5 and is rotatably connected to four groups of support plates 15 that are symmetrically distributed. The interior of the base 1 is located on the inner side of the two groups of support plates 15 and is provided with a groove 103. The interior of the groove 103 is rotatably connected to a bidirectional screw 12. The interior of the base 1 has a driving motor that cooperates with the bidirectional screw 12 for transmission. The outer side of the bidirectional screw 12 is screwed and connected to two groups of symmetrically distributed screw sleeves 13. The screw sleeves 13 are rotatably connected to the support plates 15. The hydraulic rod 3 is controlled to drive the drying press plate 4 to the base 5. The tea leaves on the tray are dried and pressed, and the pressing and drying method is adopted, so that the device can maintain the shape of the tea leaves during the drying process. The driving motor drives the bidirectional screw 12 to rotate, so that the screw sleeve 13 slides synchronously in the horizontal direction. During the sliding process, the two groups of screw sleeves 13 drive the two groups of support plates 15 to rotate synchronously in the opposite direction through the support arms 14, so that the two groups of support plates 15 rotate to the bottom of the base 5, stably support the base 5, and ensure the stable state of the drying press plate 4 when pressing the base 5.

[0030] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the outer end of the rotating arm 6 is fixedly connected to the slider 7, and the interior of the rotating rod 8 has a sliding groove 801 that cooperates with the sliding of the slider 7.

During the sliding process, the two groups of screw sleeves 13 drive the two groups of support plates 15 to rotate synchronously through the support arms 14, so that the two groups of support plates 15 rotate to the bottom of the base 5, stably support the base 5, and ensure that the drying pressing plate 4 is on the base 5 The stable state during pressing; finally, after the tea leaves are dried and pressed into shape, the driving motor is controlled to reverse so that the support plate 15 rotates to the rotating groove 102 inside the machine base 1. At this time, the pneumatic rod 11 located inside the control groove 101 is controlled to drive the rack 10 to slide along the control groove 101, and the rack 10 drives the gear 9 meshing with it to rotate, thereby driving the rotating rod 8 fixedly connected to the gear 9 to rotate. During the rotation of the rotating rod 8, the sliding cooperation between the slide groove 801 and the slider 7 inside it drives the rotating arm 6 to rotate, so that the rotating arm 6 drives the base 5 fixedly connected to it to rotate. When the base 5 is tilted to a certain angle, the dried tea leaves on the base 5 slide into the heat dissipation chamber 104 inside the machine base 1, and the blower 16 located in the heat dissipation chamber 104 is started to dissipate heat on the surface of the tea leaves, so that the tea leaves are kept in a low-temperature dry state, which is convenient for users to collect the prepared tea leaves, and the structure of the base 5 flipping is adopted, so that the tea processing device can quickly store the prepared tea leaves, and the staff can place and dry the next group of tea leaves in time, thereby improving the efficiency of tea processing.
