[0002] Tea, commonly known as tea, generally consists of the leaves and buds of the Camellia sinensis plant. Tea drinking originated in China. The leaves are leathery, oblong or oval, and can be brewed directly with boiling water. They are divided into six categories based on variety, production method, and appearance. Seasonal harvesting dictates spring tea, summer tea, autumn tea, and winter tea. Reprocessed teas, made from various raw or refined teas, include scented teas, compressed teas, extracted teas, medicinal and health teas, tea-based foods, and tea-based beverages. Pruning is often necessary during the tea plant cultivation process.

A driving mechanism for moving the rotating mechanism is provided at both ends of the main block 4, and a lifting mechanism for adjusting the height of the main block 4 is provided on the top of the base 1. When it is necessary to prune the tea trees, the staff holds the holding rod 12 and pushes the device as a whole through the four rollers. The device is moved as a whole to the ridge of the tea field that needs to be pruned. The staff pushes the device to move, and then the tea trees can be pruned through the rotating mechanism. The two ends of the main block 4 are provided with a rotating mechanism, so that the two tea trees on both sides of the ridge can be pruned together, which is beneficial to improving the efficiency of tea tree pruning. The driving mechanism can be used to drive the rotating mechanism to move, so that a larger range of tea trees can be pruned.
