[0051] In this specific embodiment, a plurality of waist-shaped guide grooves 49 are provided from left to right and are passed through vertically on the movable blade shearing plate 39, and a plurality of guide protrusions 50 are provided on the fixed blade shearing plate 38, one guide protrusion 50 corresponds to one waist-shaped guide groove 49, and the guide protrusion 50 is embedded in the corresponding waist-shaped guide groove 49, and the length of the waist-shaped guide groove 49 in the left-right direction is greater than the length of the guide protrusion 50 in the left-right direction. Through the cooperation of the guide protrusion 50 and the waist-shaped guide groove 49, the movable blade shearing plate 39 can achieve stable left-right movement operation relative to the fixed blade shearing plate 38.

[0052] In this specific embodiment, the guide protrusion 50 is provided with a vertically penetrating mounting hole 51, the guide vane plate 41 is provided with a vertically penetrating mounting screw hole 52 coaxial with the mounting hole 51, and the rod of the bolt 48 passes through the waist-shaped guide groove 49 and the mounting hole 51 in sequence and is screwed into the corresponding mounting screw hole 52. The structure is simple, and the three are connected and installed with each other through the bolt 48.

[0053] In this specific embodiment, a washer 53 is provided between the head of the bolt 48 and the guide protrusion 50, and the washer 53 is sleeved on the bolt 48, and the outer diameter of the washer 53 is larger than the width of the waist-shaped guide groove 49 in the front-to-back direction, thereby ensuring a stable connection and installation between the fixed blade shearing plate 38 and the movable blade shearing plate 39.

[0054] When the air supply angle of the fan needs to be adjusted, first remove the threaded connecting rod 16 of the first locking knob 14 from one of the locking columns 19, then the lock is released, rotate the air duct 4, and after the air supply angle is adjusted to the right position, screw the threaded connecting rod 16 of the first locking knob 14 into the corresponding locking column 19 again to re-lock the position. The air supply angle of the air duct 4 corresponding to each locking position is different, and different air supply angles are designed for different varieties of tea, generally divided into four blowing angles (30° position, 15° position, 0° position and -15° position). When picking tender tea leaves, the angle of the air duct 4 is adjusted to a smaller angle so that the tender tea leaves will not be blown away. When picking older coarse tea leaves, the angle of the air duct 4 is adjusted to a straight angle so that the tea leaves can be directly blown into the tea collection bag.

[0055] The fan adopts a powerful vortex fan blade system, which forms multiple air duct designs through 4 diversions through a single air duct. The vortex fan blade system can adjust the air volume through electronic control and can achieve precise wind control. Different air volumes can be selected for different varieties of tea, thereby reducing the occurrence of tea leaves not being blown into the collection bag or being blown outside during the picking process, effectively reducing tea waste.

[0056] The guide plate 40 with different guide grooves 41 can be selected according to the growth of the tea leaves of the year. If the tea leaves grow vigorously, the guide grooves 41 with wider openings can be used. If the tea leaves grow sparsely, the guide grooves 41 with narrower openings can be used, thereby improving the picking quality and making it difficult to guide the residual leaves or old leaves into the leaf cutting mechanism. It can also play a certain protective role on the entire tea tree and will not damage the branches.
