[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-4The utility model provides a tea storage bucket for tea production, including a storage box 1, so that tea leaves can be stored inside it to prevent external factors from affecting the tea leaves. A support plate 2 is provided at the lower end of the storage box 1, so that the height of the storage box 1 is increased, which is convenient for downward feeding. An observation window 3 and a control panel 4 are respectively provided at the front end of the outer side of the storage box 1. The observation window 3 is convenient for the staff to observe the status of the tea leaves inside, and the control panel 4 is convenient for the staff to operate the electrical components in the device, making the operation more convenient. A plurality of heating tubes 10 are connected around the inside of the storage box 1, and a screen 11 is covered and connected between the heating tubes 10. A funnel-shaped storage chamber is formed between the heating tubes 10 and the screen 11 to facilitate the storage of tea leaves, and the screen 11 is convenient for filtering debris and dust in the tea leaves, and the bottom end of the storage chamber is connected to a discharge port 1. 3 runs through the bottom end of the storage box 1, and the storage box 1 is provided with a flip door 8 at the upper end of the storage chamber. A solenoid valve 17 is installed inside the discharge port 13, so that tea leaves can be input into the storage chamber for storage through the flip door 8, and the discharge can be realized by opening the solenoid valve 17. A heating element 12 is installed inside the heating tube 10, and the heating element 12 enables the heating tube 10 to generate heat to heat and dry the tea leaves inside. A top mounting cavity 9 and a dust box 19 are respectively installed at the upper and lower diagonal positions on both sides of the storage box 1, and a hot air blower 18 is installed inside the top mounting cavity 9. An exhaust fan 111 is installed inside the dust box 19. The hot air blower 18 applies heat to the interior of the storage box 1, and the moisture generated during heating is discharged under the exhaust action of the exhaust fan 111, so as to dry the tea leaves and avoid the situation where the moisture inside the tea leaves affects the quality of the tea leaves after long-term storage.

[0029] Preferably, the openings on both sides of the top mounting cavity 9 are covered with filter screens to prevent external dust from entering the storage box 1 and affecting the tea leaves. A filter plate with large holes is provided inside the dust box 19 to prevent larger tea leaves from being sucked in. A filter bag 110 is installed inside the dust box 19 to filter and adsorb the sucked-out impurities and debris when the exhaust fan 111 discharges moisture, thereby avoiding the difficulty of subsequent cleaning and avoiding the subsequent screening of the tea leaves. An openable box door is provided at the upper end of the dust box 19 to facilitate the removal of the filter bag 110 inside for replacement and cleaning. The bottom end of the storage box 1 is inclined to one end, and a chip discharge port 5 is provided at the inclined end to penetrate one side of the storage box 1 to facilitate the discharge of larger tea leaves that cannot be sucked in by the exhaust fan 111 from the chip discharge port 5. A chute is provided at the upper end of the chip discharge port 5, and a baffle 6 is slidably connected to the inside of the chute to cover the chip discharge port 5, so that the baffle 6 can prevent hot air from escaping from the chip discharge port 5 during heating and drying.

[0030] Preferably, the storage box 1 is located in the middle of the storage cavity and is connected to a rotating shaft 14 through a bearing, and a number of stirring rods 15 are provided on the outside of the rotating shaft 14. A motor 7 is installed on the top of the storage box 1, and the output end of the motor 7 is connected to the rotating shaft 14.
