Therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined or explained in subsequent drawings. In addition, the terms "first," "second," etc. are used only to distinguish the descriptions and are not to be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0026] The electrical components mentioned in this article are all connected to an external main controller and 220V AC power, and the main controller can be a conventional known device that performs control such as a computer.

[0027] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "inside", "outside", "upper", etc. indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or are the orientations or positional relationships in which the product of the present invention is usually placed when in use.

Therefore, they cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the drying device for tea processing comprises: a fixed box 1, which is hollow inside, a fixed cover 103 at one end of the fixed box 1, and a transmission box 104 outside the fixed cover 103; a drying component 2, which is arranged inside the fixed box 1 and is used to dry the tea leaves; a stirring component 3, which is arranged inside the drying component 2 and is used to stir the tea leaves; a connecting component 4, which is arranged outside the drying component 2 and is used to provide power to the drying component 2. Specifically, when drying the tea leaves, the tea leaves are first added to the drying component 2. After the addition is completed, the tea leaves are respectively added to the drying component 2 through the transmission box 104 and the connecting component 4. It drives the drying component 2 and the stirring component 3 to rotate, so that the tea leaves are evenly distributed during the drying process to avoid uneven drying caused by accumulation of tea leaves during stirring. A motor is provided on the outside of the transmission box 104, and a reduction mechanism is provided inside the transmission box 104. The reduction mechanism is connected to the output end of the motor, and the reduction mechanism adjusts the speed of the motor to ensure that the drying component 2 and the stirring component 3 rotate stably during the drying process of the tea leaves. A heater is provided inside the fixed box 1 to provide heat for drying the tea leaves. The heater and the transmission box 104 are both existing technologies and will not be explained in detail here.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a plurality of connecting grooves 101 are provided inside the fixed box 1, and a fixed bucket 102 is provided at the other end of the fixed box 1. Specifically, the fixed bucket 102 guides and collects the dried tea leaves, and the fixed box 1 provides support for the drying component 2 to ensure that the drying component 2 rotates stably during the drying process.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the drying assembly 2 includes a rotating barrel 201, which is arranged inside the fixed box 1, and the rotating barrel 201 rotates relative to the fixed box 1. The rotating barrel 201 is open at one end, and a plurality of curved plates 203 are provided inside the rotating barrel 201. A plurality of fixing rings 202 are provided on the outside of the rotating barrel 201, and the fixing rings 202 are adapted to the connecting grooves 101. Specifically, the fixing rings 202 cooperate with the connecting grooves 101 to limit the position of the rotating barrel 201 to prevent the rotating barrel 201 from moving relative to the fixed box 1. The curved plates 203 can be spiral plates or spiral strips. The curved plates 203 block the tea leaves inside the rotating barrel 201 to prevent the tea leaves from accumulating inside the rotating barrel 201 during the drying process, thereby ensuring the drying effect of the tea leaves. After the tea leaves are dried, the rotating barrel 201 can be driven to rotate in the reverse direction. During the reverse rotation of the rotating barrel 201, the dried tea leaves are discharged from the rotating barrel 201 in cooperation with the curved plates 203.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the connecting component 4 includes a gear ring 403, which is connected to the rotating barrel 201, and the second gear 402 and the first gear 401 are meshed in sequence inside the gear ring 403, the second gear 402 is connected to the fixed cover 103, and the output end of the transmission box 104 is connected to the second gear 402. Specifically, the number of second gears 402 is an even number, so that the transmission box 104 drives the first gear 401 and the gear ring 403 to rotate in different directions. When the tea leaves need to be dried, the transmission box 104 drives any second gear 402 to rotate, and the rotating second gear 402 meshes with the first gear 401 and the gear ring 403 respectively, and drives the gear ring 403 and the first gear 401 to rotate while meshing. Since the gear ring 403 is fixed to the rotating barrel 201, the rotating barrel 201 is driven to turn the tea leaves while the gear ring 403 rotates.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 When the tea leaves are dried, the first gear 401 drives the connecting shaft 302 and the connecting plate 303 to rotate in the opposite direction relative to the rotating barrel 201, so that the tea leaves are further turned over during the drying process, thereby preventing the tea leaves from accumulating and causing uneven drying.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the connecting plates 303 are provided with through grooves 304 inside, and the through grooves 304 are provided with rotating shafts 305 inside. The rotating shafts 305 rotate relative to the connecting plates 303, and the axis of the rotating shafts 305 is parallel to the axis of the connecting shaft 302. Fixed plates 306 are provided on the outside of the rotating shafts 305. Specifically, when the tea leaves move to the outside of the connecting plates 303, the tea leaves can push the fixed plates 306 to rotate. The rotating fixed plates 306 further disperse the tea leaves to avoid accumulation of the tea leaves during the drying process, thereby ensuring the drying effect of the tea leaves.

[0034] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions merely illustrate the principles of the present invention. Various changes and improvements are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Such changes and improvements are intended to fall within the scope of the present invention. The scope of protection claimed for the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
