[0034] The bevel gear one 22 is meshed and connected with the bevel gear two 23. The bevel gear two 23 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of one end of the lead screw 26. The other end of the lead screw 26 penetrates through the partition plate 6 and extends to be rotatably connected with the inner wall of the box body 1 through the second bearing. And a moving block 27 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 26. The other end of the rotating shaft 20 extends to be rotatably connected with the bottom of the inner cavity of the box body 1 through the first bearing, making the turning mechanism 2 more stable and improving the stability of the turning process. A bottom outer wall of the moving block 27 is fixedly installed with an electric telescopic column 28. The bottom of the electric telescopic column 28 is fixedly connected with a rake 29. A guide rod 210 is fixedly connected between the left and right inner side walls of the inner cavity of the box body 1. And the outer wall of the guide rod 210 is slidably connected with the moving block 27. The establishment of the guide rod 210 better limits the moving block 27, allowing it to move smoothly;
[0035] A plurality of groups of trays 11 are arranged in the inner cavity of the box body 1. The bottom of the tray 11 is provided with holes. A plurality of groups of chutes 10 are opened on the left and right sides of the inner cavity of the box body 1. The tray 11 is slidably connected with the inner wall of the box body 1 through the chutes 10. The partition plate 6 is provided with a cam hole 24. A baffle 5 is arranged in the chute 10. One side of the baffle 5 away from the tray 11 is fixedly connected with a spring 14. The other end of the spring 14 is fixed to the inner wall of the chute 10. Card slots 7 are opened on both sides of the tray 11. A liquid collecting box 12 is clamped to the bottom of the tray 11 through the card slots 7. A plurality of groups of support columns 8 are fixedly connected to the outer side walls of both sides of the inner cavity of the box body 1. A rolling sleeve 9 is sleeved on the outer wall of the support column 8. An electric heating wire 13 is installed on the inner wall of the box body 1. The setting of the liquid collecting box 12 can collect the excess water generated during the fermentation process and maintain the quality of the tea. The establishment of the support column 8 is used to better support the tray 11, and a rolling sleeve 9 is sleeved on its outer wall, making the tray 11 more stable during the sliding process.

[0036] Working principle: First, put the tea leaves into the tray 11, and control its humidity and temperature as needed. When it is necessary to turn them evenly, the motor 21 can be driven. The motor 21 drives the rotating shaft 20 to rotate. The rotating shaft 20 drives the first bevel gear 22 and the cam 25. The first bevel gear 22 and the second bevel gear 23 are meshed and transmitted to drive the lead screw 26 to rotate. The guide rod 210 limits the moving block 27 so that it can only move horizontally. The electric telescopic column 28 is used to lift and adjust the position of the rake 29. The moving block 27 drives the electric telescopic column 28 to move the rake 29 horizontally to realize the turning of the tea leaves. At the same time, the cam 25 will rotate with the rotation of the rotating shaft 20 to realize the extrusion of the tray 11. After each extrusion is completed, the other end of the tray 11 will squeeze the spring 14 through the baffle 5, and the tray 11 will bounce back by the force of the spring 14. After this reciprocation, polarization is realized, so as to better assist in turning the tea leaves, enhance the fermentation effect and uniformity, and improve the efficiency. During the fermentation process, the excess water can flow through the holes under the tray 11 into the liquid collecting box 12 clamped to the tray 11. After the fermentation is completed, the tray 11 can be taken out through the chute 10 and the roller sleeve 9 outside the support, and replaced for placement to improve the efficiency.
