The transmission component can make the net cylinder 10 and the reciprocating screw 16 rotate. The right end of the reciprocating screw 16 penetrates the shell 1. The outer wall of the middle end of the reciprocating screw 16 is provided with a moving component, and the reciprocating screw 16 can make reciprocating motion with the moving component.

[0023] The transmission assembly includes a circular rack 3 located on the outer wall of the right end of the net cylinder 10, the circular rack 3 is fixedly connected to the net cylinder 10, and the connection between the circular rack 3 and the net cylinder 10 is located outside the shell 1. The bottom of the right end of the shell 1 is rotatably connected with a gear 15, the gear 15 is meshed with the circular rack 3, and the side of the gear 15 away from the circular rack 3 is meshed with a gear 2 13, the gear 15 can drive the circular rack 3 and the gear 2 13 meshed therewith, the gear 2 13 is fixedly connected to the reciprocating screw 16, and when the gear 2 13 rotates, the reciprocating screw 16 can be driven to rotate. The moving assembly includes a scraper bar 9 located on the inner wall of the bottom end of the shell 1. The scraper bar 9 is threadedly connected to the reciprocating screw 16. The reciprocating screw 16 can carry the scraper bar 9 to reciprocate. The scraper bar 9 fits the inner wall of the bottom end of the shell 1. The scraper bar 9 can concentrate the water flowing to the inner wall of the bottom end of the shell 1. The end of the scraper bar 9 close to the reciprocating screw 16 is fixedly connected to two guide plates 15, and the guide plates 15 can guide the water into the water tank 14. The feeding assembly includes a protective cover 2 located at the right end of the shell 1. The protective cover 2 is fixedly connected to the shell 1 through four connecting rods. The right end of the protective cover 2 is fixedly connected to a feeding funnel 4. The protective cover 2 is provided with a feeding hole, and the feeding hole and the feeding funnel 4 are connected through a pipeline. A water tank 14 is arranged below the reciprocating screw 16. The water tank 14 is inclined and fixedly connected to the bottom end of the shell 1. The interior of the shell 1 is connected to the interior of the water tank 14. The outer wall of the water tank 14 is provided with a drainage hole.

[0024] Working principle: First, pour the tea leaves from the feeding funnel 4, and the motor drives the pulley 6 to rotate through the belt. Since the pulley 6 is fixedly connected to the gear 15, the gear 15 will rotate at the same time, thereby driving the circular rack 3 meshed with it to rotate. Since the circular rack 3 is fixed to the outer wall of the net cylinder 10, the net cylinder 10 will also rotate, and the tea leaves in the net cylinder 10 will be turned over by the tea turning plate 12, so that the tea leaves are evenly heated in the net cylinder 10 to ensure the quality of the tea leaves, and the impurities in the tea leaves will fall onto the inner wall of the bottom end of the shell 1 through the mesh on the net cylinder 10. The steam will stay inside the equipment for a long time, and the generated water vapor will flow to the bottom along the inner wall of the shell 1. At this time, gear 1 5 drives another gear 2 13 meshing with it to rotate. Since gear 2 13 is fixed to the right end of the reciprocating screw 16, the gear 2 13 will drive the reciprocating screw 16 to rotate, so that the scraper bar 9 threadedly connected to the outer wall of the reciprocating screw 16 moves back and forth, so that the scraper bar 9 scrapes off the condensed water of the water vapor. Since the bottom end of the shell 1 is inclined, the condensed water of the water vapor will flow into the water tank 14, thereby collecting impurities and water in a centralized manner.
