[0002] With the development of industrial technology, modern tea planting technology has become more and more perfect. During the growth process of tea, there will be many uneven branches and leaves. These uneven branches and leaves are not convenient for subsequent maintenance and management by staff, such as insect inspection in the field. This requires regular pruning of tea fields. In order to increase the pruning rate, a tea pruning device is needed; Patent No. 201922485224.7 discloses a tea planting and pruning device, which includes a moving mechanism and a power mechanism. The device only requires tea farmers to push the moving mechanism through a rotating wheel installed under a supporting base, and does not require tea farmers to manually prune the tea leaves one by one. The operation is simple and convenient, which greatly reduces the physical effort of tea farmers in pruning. The chute matches the slider, and three chute are provided. Tea leaves of different heights can be pruned by taking out the placement box and moving it to a suitable chute. The operation is convenient, the application range is wide, and the overall practicality of the device is improved. The cutting components on both sides of the protective shell are the same length, and a cutter is installed on the outer side of the rotating belt, which can prune two rows of tea leaves at the same time, greatly improving the pruning speed of the pruning device and reducing the pruning work of tea farmers. The device still has defects when in use. First, the device needs to be stretched out a wide distance when in use, and the device needs to be folded up to reduce the space of the device when being dragged. However, the retracting structure of the device is relatively complex and difficult to operate. Second, the device has no mark after pruning, which makes it easy to miss which row of tea leaves has not been trimmed. Summary of the invention

The shearing bridge 6 is pushed down a short distance to allow the chopping wheel 604 to enter the cutting position, and the inclined plate 602 drives the chopping wheel 604 to rotate to cut the tea leaves. The cutting surface of the chopping wheel 604 is straight, and the ridge that the base plate 1 passes through is cut differently from other ridges, which has a marking effect, and the pruning results can be checked to prevent missing any ridge that has not been pruned.

The top of the inclined plate 602 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hanging plate 601 by bolts. The inclined plate 602 and the hanging plate 601 made of hard plastic are relatively light in weight, and the inclined plate 602 of different angles can be replaced according to the conditions of the tea trees.

10. A method for pruning tea leaves according to any one of claims 1 to 9, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: S1. Push the device into the tea field. According to the planting conditions of the tea field, pull out the four pins (203), readjust the position of the extension legs (2), and then insert them back, so that the grounding wheel (201) is inserted between the two ridges of the seedlings. At this time, the stepping motor (303) drives the threaded rod (304) to rotate and pushes the middle platform (301) out. While the middle platform (301) slides, it drives the linkage belt (307) to operate. The linkage belt (307) allows the extension platform (302) in the middle of the middle platform (301) to extend at the same time. The sliding speed of the middle platform (301) relative to the expansion frame (3) is equal to the sliding speed of the extension platform (302) relative to the middle platform (301). The expansion frame (3), the middle platform (301), and the extension platform (302) expand and allow the three arc-shaped knives (312) to be fully staggered. The three sets of cutting motors (310) simultaneously drive the arc-shaped knives (312) to rotate and start cutting the protruding leaves at the top of the tea leaves; S2. The double-headed electric push rod (8) drives the two output rods to contract or extend, and then the two sets of torsion arms (4) begin to twist at a certain angle. After the twisting of the torsion arms (4) is completed, the angle of the torsion arms (4) is locked by a pin, and the shear bridge (6) is pushed down a short distance to allow the chopping wheel (604) to enter the cutting position. The inclined plate (602) drives the chopping wheel (604) to rotate to cut the tea leaves. The cutting surface of the chopping wheel (604) is flat. The ridge that the base plate (1) passes through is cut differently from other ridges, which has a marking effect. The results of pruning can be checked to prevent missing a ridge that has not been pruned. S3. The water pump (10) extracts the plant nutrient solution in the nutrient solution tank (9) and conveys it to the two spray pipes (701). The spray pipes (701) are turned sideways when spraying and are erected when not in use. When the spray pipes (701) are stored or unfolded, the steering pin (702) at the bottom is first pulled out, and the spray pipes (701) are turned 90 degrees and then inserted into the other steering hole (703).
