[0040] The implementation principle of the embodiment of the present application is:

[0041] When drying, the tea leaves are placed in the corresponding mounting strips 26, and then installed in the corresponding restraining frames 25, and preliminary preparations are carried out. Then, the motor 15 and the gearbox 14 are used to drive the screw rod 209 to rotate, thereby driving the vertical box 03 to move, and the restraining frame 25 is placed between the two restraining boxes 20. At this time, the vertical box 03 is moved again, so that the restraining frame 25 enters the two restraining boxes 20 for clamping, and cooperates with the matching column 33 for further limitation. Then, the motor 3 43 is started, and the nut 41 is rotated through the transmission 2 39. Under the limitation of the vertical box 03 and the cooperation of the screw rod 1 07, the entire execution box 28 drives the entire restraining frame 25 to move upward to the specified position, suspend, and then wake up the movement of the next layer, so that multiple restraining frames 25 all reach the specified position.

[0042] During the drying process, the sun shines on the induction plate 24, detects the sun intensity, and transmits it to the controller 13. According to the program, when the sun is too strong, the current in the electromagnet 31 is changed, and then the magnetic size of the electromagnet 31 is changed. The upper restraining frame 25 falls under the action of gravity to provide a certain degree of shielding. When the sun intensity is relatively low, the electromagnetic strength of the electromagnet 31 is increased, so that the restraining frame 25 is upward until it reaches the boundary of the restraining box 20, so as to provide better ventilation and ensure the drying work. At the same time, according to the sun intensity and the sun position, the motor three 43 can be used to rotate the rotating shaft 23, and then the rotating shaft 23 is rotated by a certain angle. After a certain period of drying, the motor three 43 drives the rotating shaft 23 to rotate 180 degrees, and then the upper and lower restraining frames 25 are swapped and flipped, so that the tea leaves at the bottom are flipped to the top surface for subsequent drying to adapt to the drying process.

[0043] During the above-mentioned drying process, the motor 2 36 works synchronously, so that the crankshaft drives the crank connecting rod 38 to swing, and then the movable plates 32 on both sides move. At the same time, the counterweight block 37 rotates, so that the center of gravity shifts. Under the winding coefficient, a certain vibration is performed, so that the restraining frame 25 produces a more complex motion state, disturbs the tea leaves, reduces the adhesion between the tea leaves, and thus ensures drying.

[0044] On rainy days, the motor 3 43 can be operated to cause the execution box 28 to drive multiple drying mechanisms 04 to fall, and multiple drying devices can work synchronously, thereby facilitating subsequent awning covering or other rescue measures, reducing losses while ensuring the taste of the tea.

[0045] After the drying is completed, the vertical box 03 can be moved, the restraining frame 25 can be taken out, and then the mounting strip 26 can be taken out to collect the corresponding tea leaves. During this period, another batch of tea leaves can be loaded simultaneously, saving overall time and improving overall work efficiency.

[0046] The above-mentioned embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by technicians in this field on the basis of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
