[0018] When using the automatic integrated tea drying and cooling equipment, first put the tea leaves into the storage box 4 from the feeding hopper 5 for storage. After turning on the on-off switch 7, the tea leaves can be introduced into the drying and cooling mechanism 3 through the feeding pipe 6. After the drying and cooling mechanism 3 is turned on, the tea leaves can fall into the collecting box 9 on the supporting mechanism 8 for storage after drying and cooling. In order to ensure that the tea leaves are evenly distributed in the collecting box 9, the supporting mechanism 8 is turned on. The supporting mechanism 8 can drive the collecting box 9 to shake, so that the tea leaves can be evenly distributed in the collecting box 9.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the drying and cooling mechanism 3 includes: a drying tank 31, which is fixedly installed in the tank body 1, and the tea leaves derived from the feeding pipe 6 can fall into the drying tank 31. The bottom of the drying tank 31 is fixedly connected to a first discharge pipe 32, and the first discharge pipe 32 is installed with a first control switch 33; a cooling tank 34, which is fixedly installed in the tank body 1 and arranged at the lower side of the drying tank 31, and the tea leaves derived from the first discharge pipe 32 can fall into the cooling tank 34. The bottom of the cooling tank 34 is fixedly connected to a second discharge pipe 35, and the second discharge pipe 35 is installed with a A second control switch 36; a turning assembly 37, which is installed on the drying trough 31 and the cooling trough 34, and is used to turn the tea leaves in the drying trough 31 and the cooling trough 34; a cooling assembly 38, which is installed on the cooling trough 34, and is used to quickly cool the tea leaves in the cooling trough 34; an arc plate 39, which is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the trough body 1 and is arranged on the upper side of the drying trough 31, and a heating plate 310 is fixedly installed on the arc plate 39, and a reflecting plate 311 installed on the arc plate 39 is arranged on the upper side of the heating plate 310, and the reflecting plate 311 is used to reflect heat into the drying trough 31.

[0020] When the tea leaves are dried and cooled, after the tea leaves are introduced into the drying trough 31, the heating plate 310 is turned on, and the reflective plate 311 on the arc plate 39 can reflect the heat into the drying trough 31. After the tea leaves are dried, the first discharge pipe 32 is opened through the first control switch 33, and the tea leaves can fall into the cooling trough 34. The cooling component 38 can be turned on to quickly cool the tea leaves in the cooling trough 34. After the tea leaves are cooled, the second discharge pipe 35 is opened through the second control switch 36, and the dried and cooled tea leaves can fall into the collection box 9 for collection. In order to improve the drying and cooling efficiency of the tea leaves, the turning component 37 can be turned over the tea leaves in the drying trough 31 and the cooling trough 34.
