[0011] (2) Beneficial effects
[0012] This utility model provides a turning mechanism for a tea-drying tray. Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: by setting a clamping and turning component, the clamping cylinder in the clamping and turning component drives its jaws to clamp the tray containing tea leaves. Then, the swing cylinder is activated to drive the turning bracket to turn over, thereby pouring out the tea leaves in the tray. This replaces manual turning of the tray, greatly improving the efficiency of tea drying, reducing the labor intensity of workers, and ensuring consistent tea drying results.

Detailed Implementation
[0018] The present invention will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0019] like Figures 1-4As shown, the present invention discloses a turning mechanism for a drying tray, comprising a frame, a swing cylinder 301, a clamping cylinder 302, a telescopic conveyor line 303, a telescopic cylinder 304, a lifting cylinder 305, a lifting conveyor line 306, and a docking conveyor line 309. The docking conveyor line 309 is installed above one end of the frame, and the lifting conveyor line 306 is installed above the other end of the frame. The lifting conveyor line 306 is driven to lift and lower by the lifting cylinder 305. Clamping and turning components are installed on both sides of the frame corresponding to the material dropping end of the docking conveyor line 309. The telescopic conveyor line 303 is installed on both sides of the frame corresponding to the material feeding end of the lifting conveyor line 306 and the clamping and turning components are connected to the material feeding end of the lifting conveyor line 306. The telescopic conveyor line 303 is driven to extend and retract by the telescopic cylinder 304.
[0020] The clamping and flipping assembly includes a swing cylinder 301 and a clamping cylinder 302. The swing cylinder 301 is installed on the side of the frame. The piston rod of the swing cylinder 301 is connected to a flipping bracket. A pair of clamping cylinders 302 are installed on the side of the flipping bracket away from the piston rod of the swing cylinder 301.
[0021] The telescopic conveyor line 303 is mounted on the side of the frame via a telescopic conveyor line mounting bracket. The telescopic cylinder 304 is mounted on the frame with its piston rod facing the telescopic conveyor line mounting bracket and connected to it. The telescopic conveyor line 303 is driven by a telescopic conveyor line motor 3031.
[0022] The lifting conveyor line 306 is mounted on the frame via a lifting conveyor line mounting bracket. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder 305 is positioned upwards and its upper end is connected to the top of the lifting conveyor line mounting bracket. The lifting conveyor line 306 is driven by a lifting conveyor line motor 307.
[0023] The other end of the frame is provided with a lifting guide rail 308 for lifting the lifting conveyor installation frame.
[0024] The upper baffle plate 3101 spans across the frame on both sides of the telescopic conveyor line 303, and the lower baffle plate 3011 is provided on both sides of the frame below the clamping and flipping assembly. The function of the upper baffle plate 3101 and the lower baffle plate 3011 is to prevent tea leaves from falling onto the floor. The frame on the side of the dropping end of the lifting conveyor line 306 is provided with a blocking block 3012, which can prevent the tray from falling.
[0025] Working principle: The tray containing tea leaves is transported to the clamping and flipping assembly via the docking conveyor line 309. The clamping cylinder 302 is activated, causing its grippers to clamp the tray containing tea leaves. Then, the swing cylinder 301 is activated, causing the flipping bracket to flip, thus emptying the tea leaves from the tray. The empty tea leaves can then enter the next shaking process under the action of the conveyor belt. The telescopic cylinder 304 is activated, causing its piston rod to move, which in turn causes the two telescopic conveyor lines 303 to move closer together and receive the empty tray. Then, the clamping cylinder 302 is closed, causing its grippers to release the empty tray. The telescopic conveyor line motor 3031 is activated, causing the telescopic conveyor line 303 to move and transport the empty tray to the lifting conveyor line 306. The lifting cylinder 305 is activated, causing its piston rod to retract, causing the empty tray to descend and be transported out through the conveyor line.
[0026] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are described in a relatively specific and detailed manner. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent should be determined by the appended claims.
