A connecting rod 301 is fixedly connected to the left side of the cabinet 1, and a push handle 302 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 301. The connecting rod 301 and the push handle 302 allow the user to push and pull the equipment conveniently, thereby increasing the mobility and convenience of the equipment. A cabinet door 101 is hinged on the front of the cabinet 1, and universal wheels 2 are fixedly connected around the bottom of the cabinet 1. The universal wheels 2 enable the equipment to be easily moved on different floors, thereby increasing the flexibility and applicability of the equipment. An automatic withering mechanism is arranged inside the cabinet 1;

[0027] The automatic withering mechanism includes a sunlight unit and a placement unit;

[0028] The sunlight unit includes a light source 801, an integrator mirror 802, a fixing ring 803, a support rod 804 and a filter 805. The light source 801 is generated by a halogen lamp, and the halogen lamp generates a spectrum close to natural light, providing tea leaves with lighting conditions that simulate sunlight, which is helpful for the withering process of tea leaves. The integrator mirror 802 is arranged below the light source 801, and the integrator mirror can evenly distribute the light generated by the light source to ensure that the tea leaves are evenly illuminated. The fixing ring 803 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the outer side of the integrator mirror 802, and one end of the two support rods 804 is fixedly connected to both sides of the fixing ring 803, and the two support rods 804 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the cabinet 1, respectively. The fixing ring 803 and the support rod 804 are used to fix and integrate the mirror 802 to ensure its stability and safety. The filter 805 is arranged below the integrator mirror 802, and both sides of the filter 805 are fixedly connected to both sides of the cabinet 1. The filter 805 can adjust the intensity and spectral distribution of the light to adapt to the withering requirements of different tea leaves. There are three groups of sunlight units, which are respectively arranged above the drawers 6. The arrangement of multiple groups of sunlight units can ensure that the tea leaves in the entire cabinet 1 can receive uniform light, thereby improving the uniformity and efficiency of withering.

[0029] The placement unit includes a partition plate 5, a drawer 6, a handle 601, a slide bar 602, a stirring shaft 603, a connecting bar 604, a stirring piece 605, a ventilation net 606, a tray 4 and a slide rail 7. Two slide rails 7 are respectively fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cabinet 1. Two slide bars 602 are respectively fixedly connected to the drawer 6. The slide bar 602 is slidably connected to the slide rail 7. The handle 601 is fixedly connected to the front of the drawer 6. Both ends of the stirring shaft 603 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the drawer 6. One end of the connecting bar 604 is fixedly connected to the stirring shaft 603. The stirring piece 605 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting bar 604. There are four connecting bars 604 and stirring pieces 605, which are respectively arranged on the stirring shaft 603. The stirring shaft 603 stirs the tea leaves in the drawer 6 through the connecting bar 604 and the stirring piece 605, ensuring that the tea leaves can be evenly heated and illuminated during the withering process, thereby improving the uniformity and effect of withering. The use of food-grade stainless steel materials ensures the hygiene and safety of the stirring components. The drawer 6, stirring shaft 603, stirring blade 605 and connecting strip 604 are all made of food-grade stainless steel. The ventilation net 606 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drawer 6. The ventilation net 606 allows air circulation, which helps to dissipate heat and maintain appropriate humidity during the withering process of the tea leaves. The partition plate 5 is arranged below the drawer 6, and the two ends of the partition plate 5 are fixedly connected to the two sides of the inner wall of the cabinet 1. The partition plate 5 divides the internal space of the cabinet 1 into different areas for placing the drawer 6 and the tray 4, which is conducive to maintaining the stability and order of the internal environment. The tray 4 is provided with a groove, and the bottom of the tray 4 overlaps the upper surface of the partition plate 5. The tray 4 is used to place withered tea leaves or collect the juice produced during the withering process. The groove design makes it convenient for users to clean the juice. There are three groups of placement units, which are equidistantly arranged inside the cabinet 1. The setting of multiple groups of placement units increases the storage capacity and processing capacity of the equipment and improves production efficiency.

[0030] Working principle: First, move the device to a suitable position through the push handle 302 and the universal wheel 2. Then open the cabinet door 101, open the drawer 6 through the handle 601, and place the tea leaves evenly in the drawer 6. Turn on the power of the device and start the stirring function of the sunlight unit and the placement unit. The sunlight unit begins to provide lighting conditions that simulate sunlight, and provides lighting conditions that simulate sunlight for the tea leaves through the spectrum close to natural light generated by the halogen lamp. The integrator 802 evenly distributes the light to ensure that the tea leaves are evenly illuminated. The filter 805 adjusts the light intensity and spectral distribution according to the withering requirements of the tea leaves. At the same time, the stirring shaft 603 of the placement unit begins to rotate. Through the rotation of the stirring shaft 603, the connecting strip 604 and the stirring sheet 604, the tea leaves are evenly stirred during the withering process, thereby ensuring that the tea leaves can be evenly heated and illuminated. The ventilation net 606 allows air circulation, which helps to dissipate heat and maintain appropriate humidity during the withering process of the tea leaves.

[0031] According to the type of tea and the withering requirements, adjust the filter 805 to obtain the appropriate light intensity and spectral distribution. When the tea reaches the expected withering degree, turn off the power of the device. Open the drawer 6 and take out the withered tea or clean the juice on the tray 4.
