The slide rod 7 ensures that the support frame 5 slides stably and does not rotate with the first lead screw 3.

[0028] A slide groove 11 is cut on the horizontal plate of the support frame 5 along the width direction of the fermentation tank 1, and the slide groove 11 vertically penetrates through the horizontal plate. A slide block 12 is in limited sliding fit in the slide groove 11. The second driving mechanism is assembled on the support frame 5 and is in transmission connection with the slide block 12, for driving the slide block 12 to slide along the width direction of the fermentation tank 1.

[0029] The second driving mechanism comprises a second lead screw 6, which is transversely arranged in the slide groove 11 along the width direction of the fermentation tank 1 and is in rotational connection with the support frame 5. The second lead screw 6 is a reciprocating lead screw. The second lead screw 6 penetrates through the slide block 12 and is in threaded connection with the slide block 12.

[0030] The first linkage is assembled between the support frame 5 and the top of the fermentation tank 1. The second lead screw 6 of the second driving mechanism is in transmission fit with the support frame 5 through the first linkage, for driving the second lead screw 6 to rotate.

[0031] The first linkage comprises a first gear 9 and a first rack 8. The first rack 8 is fixedly laid on the top of the front side box body of the fermentation box 1 along the sliding direction of the support frame 5. The first gear 9 is coaxially fixedly connected with the second screw rod 6. The first gear 9 is in meshing cooperation with the first rack 8.

[0032] The bottom of the sliding block 12 is rotationally equipped with a turning-over assembly which extends into the fermentation box 1 and is used for turning over. The turning-over assembly comprises an agitator shaft 4 and a spiral blade 10. The agitator shaft 4 is vertically arranged in the fermentation box 1, and the top end of the agitator shaft 4 is rotationally connected with the sliding block 12. The spiral blade 10 is welded on the peripheral curved surface of the agitator shaft 4 along the circumference of the agitator shaft 4. The spiral central axis of the spiral blade 10 is coaxial with the central axis of the agitator shaft 4.

[0033] The second linkage is equipped between the sliding block 12 and the support frame 5. The agitator shaft 4 of the turning-over assembly is in transmission cooperation with the sliding block 12 through the second linkage, and is used for driving the agitator shaft 4 to rotate.

The second gear 16 is coaxially fixedly connected with the agitator shaft 4. The second gear 16 is in meshing cooperation with the second rack 13.

[0035] Working principle: when in use, tea leaves are conveyed into the fermentation box 1 through an automatic feeding device such as a conveying belt. After the tea leaves are piled up, water is sprinkled on the tea leaves through the watering frame 14 and the watering holes 15 on the watering frame 14 until water flows out from the water permeable holes of the fermentation box 1.

[0036] Then, the watering is stopped, and fermentation is carried out. After a certain period of fermentation, when it is necessary to turn over, the motor 2 is started, the output shaft of the motor 2 drives the first screw rod 3 to rotate, the first screw rod 3 drives the support frame 5 to slide along the length direction of the fermentation box 1. The support frame 5 drives the second screw rod 6 to move along the length direction of the fermentation box 1, and the second screw rod 6 drives the first gear 9 to move along the length direction of the fermentation box 1. Since the first gear 9 is in meshing cooperation with the first rack 8, the first gear 9 rotates.

[0037] In the process of rotation of the first gear 9, the second screw rod 6 is driven to rotate. The second screw rod 6 drives the sliding block 12 to reciprocally slide along the width direction of the fermentation box 1, and the sliding block 12 drives the agitator shaft 4 to reciprocally move along the width direction of the fermentation box 1. The agitator shaft 4 drives the second gear 16 to reciprocally move along the width direction of the fermentation box 1, and since the second gear 16 is in meshing cooperation with the second rack 13, the second gear 16 rotates.

[0038] In the process of rotation of the second gear 16, the agitator shaft 4 is driven to rotate. The agitator shaft 4 drives the spiral blade 10 to carry out turning-over operation on the tea leaves in the fermentation box 1. When the turning-over operation is completed, the motor 2 is turned off.

[0039] During the course of the turning operation, the helical flight 10 does not contact the sprinkler frame 14.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above only for the preferred embodiments of the present application has been described, and is not intended to limit the present application, although the foregoing embodiments of the present application has been described in detail, for those skilled in the art, it still can be modified, or part of the technical features of the equivalent replacement, within the spirit and principles of the present application, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc., should be included within the scope of the present application.
