Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third," etc., are used solely for distinction and description and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0025] Furthermore, terms such as "horizontal," "vertical," and "overhanging" do not necessarily imply that a component must be absolutely horizontal or overhanging, but rather that it can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but rather that it can be slightly tilted.

[0026] It should also be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "disposed," "installed," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, and internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0027] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides an embodiment: a drying device for tea processing, comprising a drying box 2, a movable door 3 is rotatably provided on the front end surface of the drying box 2, a control panel 6 is installed on the front end surface of the movable door 3, shock-absorbing blocks 7 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the drying box 2, and the shock-absorbing blocks 7 are made of rubber material, a drying chamber 13 is provided inside the drying box 2, a rotating plate 10 is rotatably provided on the upper end of the drying chamber 13, a motor 4 is installed on the top of the rotating plate 10, and the output end of the motor 4 is connected to the rotating plate 10 The top of the rotating plate 10 is fixedly connected, the bottom of the rotating plate 10 is fixedly connected with a hanging ring 8, the inner side of the hanging ring 8 is movably provided with a hook 11, the bottom of the hook 11 is fixedly connected with a breathable placement frame 9, the bottom of the drying chamber 13 is provided with a heating chamber 19, the interior of the heating chamber 19 is provided with a heating wire 17, the top of the heating chamber 19 is provided with an air pump 18, the input end of the air pump 18 is connected to the interior of the heating chamber 19 through a pipeline, the output end of the air pump 18 is fixedly connected with an air guide pipe 15, and the top of the air guide pipe 15 is fixedly connected with a plurality of nozzles 14;

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, when in use, when the tea leaves need to be dried, the air in the heating chamber 19 can be heated by the heating wire 17, and the heated air can be blown into the air guide pipe 15 by the air pump 18, and finally sprayed out through multiple nozzles 14, so as to dry the tea leaves in the breathable placement frame 9. At the same time, during the drying process, the rotating plate 10 can be driven to rotate by the output end of the motor 4, and the rotation of the rotating plate 10 finally drives the tea leaves in the breathable placement frame 9 to rotate. The rotation of the tea leaves can increase the flow speed on the surface of the tea leaves, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the tea leaves, and solves the problem of driving the stirring blades to rotate by the rotating motor 4, thereby shortening the time required for uniform drying of the tea leaves. However, as the tea leaves are gradually dried, the flexibility of the tea leaves will gradually decrease. When the stirring blades stir the tea leaves, the tea leaves are prone to breakage and crushing, which is not conducive to the later processing of the tea leaves.

[0029] Humidity sensors 12 are installed on both sides of the inner wall of the drying chamber 13. A connected air inlet pipe 16 is fixedly connected to both sides of the heating chamber 19. A threaded cover 20 is threadedly connected to the mouth of the air inlet pipe 16. An air vent 21 is formed through the surface of the threaded cover 20. A filter 22 is provided inside the air vent 21. A connected air outlet 1 is formed on both sides of the top of the drying chamber 13. A dust screen 5 is provided inside the air outlet 1.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when in use, the humidity in the drying box 2 can be detected in real time through the humidity sensor 12. When the humidity in the drying box 2 drops to a certain value, the signal is transmitted to the external controller, and the external controller controls the heating wire 17 to be turned off, thereby avoiding excessive drying and thus ensuring the drying effect. At the same time, the setting of the filter 22 can prevent external dust from entering the heating chamber 19 with the flow of air, and after a period of time, the threaded cover 20 can be rotated until the threaded cover 20 is detached from the air inlet pipe 16, and then the filter 22 on the threaded cover 20 is cleaned. After cleaning, the threaded cover 20 is screwed back into the air inlet pipe 16. By facilitating the disassembly, cleaning and installation of the filter 22, its filtering effect can be effectively guaranteed.

[0031] Working principle: In this application, when the tea leaves need to be dried, the air in the heating chamber 19 can be heated by the heating wire 17, and the heated air can be blown into the air duct 15 by the air pump 18, and finally sprayed out through multiple nozzles 14, thereby drying the tea leaves in the breathable placement frame 9. At the same time, during the drying process, the output end of the motor 4 can drive the rotating plate 10 to rotate, and the rotation of the rotating plate 10 finally drives the tea leaves in the breathable placement frame 9 to rotate. The rotation of the tea leaves can increase the flow speed on the surface of the tea leaves, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the tea leaves. Secondly, during the tea drying process, the humidity in the drying box 2 can be detected in real time by the humidity sensor 12. When the humidity in the drying box 2 drops to a certain value, the signal is transmitted to the external controller, and the external controller controls the heating wire 17 to turn off, thereby avoiding excessive drying and thus ensuring the drying effect.
