[0019] 1. In the present utility model, through the vibration assembly provided, when drying tea leaves, by starting the driving motor to drive the cam to rotate, it periodically contacts the fixed block. After the sealing plate rotates away, the elastic force of the fixed spring can be utilized to make the sliding block slide to drive the drying rack to return to its original position. Then, through the back-and-forth sliding of the drying rack, the tea leaves on the placement frame vibrate, so that the tea leaves piled up at the bottom can vibrate to the top, thus avoiding the cumbersome inconvenience that the tea leaves piled up at the bottom are not easy to dry, enabling the tea leaves to be dried faster and more evenly, reducing the drying time and energy consumption, improving the corresponding drying efficiency, and thus achieving the effect of facilitating uniform drying;

[0028] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0029] Embodiment 1
[0030] The preferred embodiment of the tea drying box provided by the present utility model is as Figures 1 to 5 shown: A tea drying box includes a box body 3. A fixed groove 12 is opened at the lower end inside the box body 3. A vibration component 11 is arranged inside the box body 3. A drying rack 10 is movably connected to the inner bottom wall of the box body 3. Slide grooves 7 are equidistantly opened on the inner wall of the drying rack 10. Slide plates 8 are movably connected inside the slide grooves 7. A placing frame 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the slide plate 8. A sealing door 2 is fixedly connected to the front of the box body 3 through a hinge. A drying component 1 is arranged at the top of the box body 3. A heating box 4 is fixedly connected to the lower end of one side of the box body 3. A blower 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the heating box 4. Heating pipes 6 are fixedly connected to the other side of the inner top wall and the inner bottom wall of the heating box 4.
[0031] The vibration assembly 11 includes sliding grooves 1103 which are opened on both sides of the bottom end of the box body 3. A fixed spring 1105 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 1103. One end of the fixed spring 1105 is fixedly connected to a sliding block 1104, and the top end of the sliding block 1104 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the drying rack 10. A driving motor 1106 is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the fixed groove 12. The output end of the driving motor 1106 is fixedly connected to a cam 1101 through a coupling. A fixed block 1102 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the back surface of the drying rack 10. When drying the tea leaves, the driving motor 1106 can be started to drive the cam 1101 to rotate, and with the elastic force of the fixed spring 1105, the sliding block 1104 slides to drive the drying rack 10 to return to its original position. Furthermore, the tea leaves on the placement frame 9 are vibrated through the back-and-forth sliding of the drying rack 10, so that the tea leaves piled up at the bottom can be vibrated to the top, enabling the tea leaves to be dried faster and more evenly, and improving the corresponding drying efficiency.
[0032] In this embodiment, the cam 1101 and the fixed block 1102 are in the same horizontal plane. The shape of the top view of the fixed block 1102 is arc-shaped. By using the arc-shaped fixed block 1102, it is easier to come into rotational contact with the cam 1101 to drive the drying rack 10 to slide.
[0033] In this embodiment, a sliding structure is formed between the sliding block 1104 and the inside of the sliding groove 1103. The cross-sectional shapes of the sliding groove 1103 and the sliding block 1104 are convex. By using the sliding of the convex-shaped sliding block 1104 inside the sliding groove 1103, the back-and-forth sliding of the drying rack 10 is smoother and more stable.
[0034] Embodiment 2
[0035] On the basis of Embodiment 1, a preferred embodiment of the tea drying box provided by the present utility model is as Figures 1 to 5 shown: The drying assembly 1 includes a drying box 102 which is fixedly connected to the top end of the box body 3. One side of the drying box 102 is communicated with one side of the top end of the heating box 4 through a conduit. A reserved groove 105 is opened on the front surface of the drying box 102. A sealing plate 101 is movably connected inside the reserved groove 105. Clamping grooves 108 are equidistantly opened at the upper and lower ends of the back surface of the sealing plate 101. A clamping block 109 is movably connected inside the clamping groove 108. One end of the clamping block 109 is fixedly connected to a silica gel drying plate 103 extending into the drying box 102. The hot air containing the moisture of the tea leaves after drying can adsorb and dry the moisture and impurities by using the silica gel drying plate 103. The dried hot air is then conveyed back to the inside of the heating box 4 through the conduit and is conveyed back to the inside of the box body 3 again as the blower 5 works, realizing the cyclic drying process and improving the drying efficiency of the tea leaves.
[0036] In this embodiment, fixing bolts 106 are movably connected to the upper and lower ends on both sides of the front surface of the sealing plate 101. Bolt holes 107 that are threadedly engaged with the fixing bolts 106 are formed in the inner wall of the reserved groove 105. By using the threaded engagement between the fixing bolts 106 and the threads inside the bolt holes 107, the firm stability of the snap-fitting installation of the sealing plate 101 inside the reserved groove 105 is ensured.
[0037] In this embodiment, a sealing strip 104 is fixedly connected to the back surface of the sealing plate 101. The cross-sectional shape of the sealing strip 104 is in the shape of a double rectangle. By using the sealing strip 104 in the shape of a double rectangle, the sealing performance after the sealing plate 101 is installed inside the reserved groove 105 is improved.
[0038] In this embodiment, a snap-fitting structure is formed between the sealing plate 101 and the inside of the fixing bolt 106. By using the snap-fitting between the sealing plate 101 and the inside of the fixing bolt 106, the quick preliminary snap-fitting disassembly and assembly of the sealing plate 101 are facilitated.
[0039] In this embodiment, a snap-fitting structure is formed between the clamping block 109 and the inside of the clamping groove 108. The cross-sectional shapes of the clamping groove 108 and the clamping block 109 are regular hexagons. By using the snap-fitting between the regular hexagon clamping block 109 and the inside of the clamping groove 108, the stability of the snap-fitting disassembly and assembly between the silica gel drying plate 103 and the sealing plate 101 is improved.
[0040] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the heating pipe 6 is serpentine. One end of the heating pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heating box 4 through bolts. By using the serpentine heating pipe 6, its heating area is increased and the heating dead angle is reduced, so that the hot air can be blown into the inside of the box body 3 faster.
[0041] In addition, a sliding structure is formed between the sliding plate 8 and the inside of the sliding groove 7. The cross-sectional shapes of the sliding groove 7 and the sliding plate 8 are inverted isosceles trapezoids. By using the sliding of the inverted isosceles trapezoid sliding plate 8 inside the sliding groove 7, the smoothness of the sliding installation of the placement frame 9 on the inner wall of the drying rack 10 is improved.
[0042] The working principle and usage process of the present utility model: First, by using the sliding of the inverted isosceles trapezoid sliding plate 8 inside the sliding groove 7, the placement frame 9 with the tea leaves placed therein is slid into the inside of the drying rack 10, then the sealing door 2 is closed, and then the blower 5 and the heating pipe 6 are started. By using the serpentine heating pipe 6, its heating area is increased and the heating dead angle is reduced, so that the hot air can be blown into the inside of the box body 3 faster. At the same time, the hot air is sent upward, which is convenient for drying the tea leaves placed inside the placement frame 9.
[0043] Meanwhile, when drying the tea leaves, the driving motor 1106 can be started to drive the cam 1101 to rotate, periodically contacting the fixed block 1102, so that the drying rack 10 slides to drive the sliding block 1104 to slide inside the sliding groove 1103 to compress the fixed spring 1105. After the sealing plate 101 rotates away, the elastic force of the fixed spring 1105 is used to make the sliding block 1104 slide to drive the drying rack 10 to return to its original position. Then, the vibration of the tea leaves on the placement frame 9 is realized through the back-and-forth sliding of the drying rack 10, so that the tea leaves piled up at the bottom can vibrate to the top, thus avoiding the cumbersome inconvenience of the tea leaves piled up at the bottom being not easy to dry and improving the corresponding drying efficiency;
[0044] Moreover, the hot air containing the moisture of the tea leaves after drying will be conveyed upward to the inside of the drying box 102. At this time, the silica gel drying plate 103 is used to dry and dehumidify the air, adsorbing and drying the miscellaneous moisture in it. The dried hot air is conveyed to the inside of the heating box 4 through the conduit again and then conveyed to the inside of the box body 3 again with the blower 5 working, realizing the cyclic drying process, improving the drying efficiency of the tea leaves. At the same time, the threaded cooperation between the fixed bolt 106 and the bolt hole 107 is used to facilitate opening the sealing plate 101 to take out the silica gel drying plate 103. Then, by pulling the silica gel drying plate 103 forcefully, the clamping block 109 is completely separated from the clamping groove 108, facilitating the disassembly, installation and replacement of the silica gel drying plate 103 with saturated adsorption, and ensuring the drying effect of the air in the later stage.
[0045] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
