[0034] The drying zone includes two sets of drying units 10. The inlets of the two sets of drying units 10 are respectively connected to the outlets of the two sets of kneading units 9. Each set of drying units 10 includes a first dryer and a second dryer. The input end of the first dryer is connected to the output end of the kneading unit 9, the input end of the second dryer is connected to the output end of the first dryer, and the output end of the second dryer is connected to a collection box.

[0035] By using transmission components to connect the aforementioned areas sequentially, an automated production line between the various areas was realized, achieving full automation of the tea preparation process.

[0036] Furthermore, the inlet of the withering zone 1 is equipped with a lifting unit, which is used to transport fresh leaves from the fresh leaf accumulation port 101 to the inlet of the conveyor belt. The lifting unit includes a horizontal part 102, and baffle plates 103 are provided on both sides of the horizontal part 102. The baffle plates 103 are provided with longitudinal grooves 104, and adjusting blocks 108 are provided in the longitudinal grooves 104. The adjusting blocks 108 are threadedly connected to bolt rods 107. The top of the bolt rods 107 penetrates the upper surface of the baffle plates 103 and is provided with a rotating handle.

Several sets of cross-arranged dispersing rods 106 are also provided on the rotating rod 105.

[0037] By setting up a rotating rod 105 in conjunction with a dispersing rod 106, the sticking or overlapping of fresh leaves when they enter the withering zone 1 is avoided. Furthermore, the rotating rod 105 can be adjusted vertically according to the size or quantity of the fresh leaves, thus enabling the rotating rod 105 and the dispersing rod 106 to be adjusted according to the actual production situation. In addition, it can also avoid the situation where the rotating rod 105 and the dispersing rod 106 cannot achieve the dispersing effect.

[0040] By using rotating rods 114 on both sides of the discharge end of the conveyor belt and cooperating with the dispersing component 115, the tea leaves are dispersed a second time, ensuring that the tea leaves entering the first shaking zone are fully dispersed, avoiding overlapping and sticking, which would affect subsequent processes and reduce the yield of good tea leaves.

[0041] Furthermore, the bottom of the conveyor belt is provided with several frustoconical grooves, and a temperature-controlled blower is provided on one side of each of the frustoconical grooves.

[0042] By setting the bottom of the conveyor belt as a frustum-shaped groove, the air blown by the temperature-controlled blower is dispersed to both sides along the frustum-shaped groove, which makes the tea leaves on the conveyor belt receive more even airflow and also avoids the situation where the tea leaves are blown away when the temperature-controlled blower blows directly on the tea leaves.

[0043] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
