The arc-shaped rack 48 and the gear 46 are both existing technologies. By rotating the gear 46, the arc-shaped rack 48 can be driven to perform a circular motion with the center of the circle block at the bottom end of the support frame 41, ensuring that it can smoothly drive the processing cylinder 1 to swing, thereby improving the processing efficiency. The rear surface of the top of the support frame 41 is equipped with a processing cylinder 1. The inner wall of the processing cylinder 1 is provided with other structures such as a stirring mechanism and a heating element. Tea leaves can be placed in the inner wall of the processing cylinder 1. The left surface of the processing cylinder 1 is provided with a cover plate 6, which is a prior art and can ensure the sealing of the processing cylinder 1. The lower surface of the support frame 41 is engaged with a gear 46, and the gear 46 is rotatably connected to the lower side of the inner wall of the movable seat 2 near the support frame 41. The rear surface of the gear 46 is fixedly connected with a connecting cylinder 45, and multiple groups of gears 46 are connected to rotate through the connecting cylinder 45, and multiple groups of support frames 41 are driven to swing, thereby ensuring the stability of the swing of the processing cylinder 1. The connecting cylinder 45 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the movable seat 2.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 3The support assembly includes a rectangular cylinder 53 that ensures the stable up and down horizontal movement of the support plate 54. The rectangular cylinder 53 is slidably connected to the right surface of the push plate 3. The lower surface of the rectangular cylinder 53 is fixedly connected to the support plate 54 that supports and fixes the entire equipment. The lower surface of the support plate 54 is fixedly connected to the friction pad 55. The friction pad 55 is made of rubber and has a certain elasticity. When the support plate 54 contacts the ground, it will deform through its own elasticity, increase the contact area with the ground, and thus improve stability. The upper surface of the support plate 54 contacts the lower surface of the moving seat 2.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 2 、 Figure 4 The swing assembly also includes an arc block 47 that ensures the stable swing of the support frame 41. The arc block 47 is concentric with the circular plate at the bottom end of the support frame 41 to ensure that the support frame 41 can swing smoothly and stably. The arc block 47 is fixedly connected to the rear surface of the support frame 41, and the arc block 47 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the arc groove 7. The swing assembly also includes a mounting plate 44 that ensures the stability of the electric telescopic rod 43. The mounting plate 44 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the moving seat 2, and the upper surface of the front end of the mounting plate 44 is fixedly connected to the electric telescopic rod 43. The electric telescopic rod 43 is a prior art, through which the round rod 42 can be driven to reciprocate back and forth, and it can be implemented by technicians in this field. Since it is a prior art, it will not be described in detail in this case. The rear surface of the electric telescopic rod 43 is fixedly connected to ensure that the sliding rod 410 can stably move horizontally back and forth. The movable round rod 42 passes through the round rod 42 and is slidably connected to the front surface of the movable seat 2. The upper surface of the rear end of the round rod 42 is fixedly connected to the sliding rod 410. The inner wall of the connecting cylinder 45 is provided with a sliding groove 49. The upper surface of the sliding rod 410 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 49. The sliding groove 49 is set in a spiral shape. The spiral sliding groove 49 is arranged around the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 45 and has a certain curvature to ensure that when the sliding rod 410 slides on its inner wall, it can drive the connecting cylinder 45 to rotate along the amplitude, and then drive multiple sets of gears 46 to rotate through the connecting cylinder 45. There are multiple groups of support frames 41, gears 46, and arc racks 48, and multiple groups of support frames 41, gears 46, and arc racks 48 are symmetrically arranged with the center line of the connecting cylinder 45 as the axis of symmetry. The arrangement of multiple groups of support frames 41, gears 46, and arc racks 48 can improve the stable swinging of the processing cylinder 1.

[0034] Reference Figure 3The support assembly also includes a fixed block 52 to ensure that the threaded rod 51 can rotate stably. The fixed block 52 is fixedly connected to the top of the right surface of the push plate 3. The upper surface of the fixed block 52 is penetrated by a threaded rod 51 for rotation. The threaded rod 51 is a prior art. It is a rod-shaped structure with a thread on the outer wall. When rotating, the structure threaded on its outer wall will move linearly. At the same time, it has the characteristics of self-locking up and down, ensuring the stability of the rectangular tube 53 threaded on its outer wall when not rotating. The outer wall of the bottom end of the threaded rod 51 is threaded on the inner wall of the rectangular tube 53.

[0035] Working principle: When using the tea-withering equipment, first put the tea leaves to be withered into the processing cylinder 1, and close the cover 6 to ensure the sealing of the processing cylinder 1. Then, when withering, the electric telescopic rod 43 can be started. The electric telescopic rod 43 drives the round rod 42 to move back and forth, and the round rod 42 drives the slide rod 410 to move horizontally back and forth. Since the upper surface of the slide rod 410 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the spiral slide groove 49 on the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 45, the movement of the slide rod 410 will drive the connecting cylinder 45 to rotate back and forth along the amplitude of the slide groove 49.

[0036] When the connecting cylinder 45 rotates back and forth, it drives the gear 46 fixedly connected to it to rotate back and forth. The gear 46 engages with the arc-shaped rack 48, thereby driving the arc-shaped rack 48 to perform reciprocating circular motion with the center of the circular block at the bottom end of the support frame 41. At the same time, it will drive the support frame 41 to swing back and forth, and the processing cylinder 1 will also swing accordingly, which can improve the efficiency of turning the tea leaves, and the arc-shaped block 47 slides on the inner wall of the arc-shaped through groove 7 to ensure that the support frame 41 swings stably.

[0037] When the fixing is completed and the material needs to be unloaded, the processing cylinder 1 can be tilted further by the swing assembly, thereby increasing the unloading speed.

[0038] When the equipment is parked, in order to improve stability, the threaded rod 51 can be rotated. The rotation of the threaded rod 51 will cause the rectangular tube 53 to move downward, and the rectangular tube 53 will drive the support plate 54 to move downward until the friction pad 55 on the lower surface of the support plate 54 contacts the ground, thereby increasing the contact area with the ground and improving the stability of the equipment when parked.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
