[0029] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention proposes a tea drying box, which includes a drying chamber 1 and a door 2 hinged to the front of the drying chamber 1. A tea drying processing component 3 is provided on the drying chamber 1.

[0030] In this invention, the processing component 3 located on the drying chamber 1 can both turn and dry the tea leaves and collect and push them out at once, thereby improving the convenience of tea leaf retrieval.

[0031] It should be noted that the inner bottom wall of the drying chamber 1 is connected to a hot air blower for conveying hot air.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, the processing component 3 includes two support frames 31 fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the drying chamber 1. Each support frame 31 has three rotating rods 32 rotatably connected to its inner wall, with one end penetrating and extending into the inner side of the drying chamber 1. The end of the rotating rod 32 located inside the drying chamber 1 is fixedly connected to a top drying cylinder 39. The outer side of the top drying cylinder 39 is hinged to a bottom drying cylinder 310. The end of the rotating rod 32 located inside the drying chamber 1 is fixedly connected to a support plate 311. The inner side of the support plate 311 and the outer side of the bottom drying cylinder 310 are both rotatably connected to a sleeve 313. An electric push rod 312 is installed on the sleeve 313.

[0033] In this embodiment, after several rotating rods 32 rotate synchronously, they can drive the rotating top drying cylinder 39 and bottom drying cylinder 310 to turn the placed tea leaves, so that the tea leaves can come into uniform contact with the blown hot air during the turning process, thereby improving the uniformity of tea drying.

[0034] It should be noted that both the top drying cylinder 39 and the bottom drying cylinder 310 are semi-circular. The inner walls of both the top drying cylinder 39 and the bottom drying cylinder 310 are provided with a number of ventilation holes, so that the top drying cylinder 39 and the bottom drying cylinder 310 can form a cylindrical shape when they are attached together, which causes the tea leaves to turn over and be dried by the hot air passing through the ventilation holes.

[0035] In an optional embodiment, a receiving component 4 is provided on the drying chamber 1. The receiving component 4 includes a mounting frame 41 with one end fixedly connected to the back of the drying chamber 1. An electric telescopic rod 42 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting frame 41. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 42 passes through and extends to the inner side of the drying chamber 1. A placement frame 43 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 42. A limiting rod 45 with one end passing through the drying chamber 1 is fixedly connected to the back of the placement frame 43.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the activated electric telescopic rod 42 pulls the receiving box 44 on the placement rack 43 into the drying chamber 1, it can receive the dried tea leaves. After the receiving box 44 is pushed out by the electric telescopic rod 42, the operator can take out the dried tea leaves more conveniently and safely.

[0037] It should be noted that the placement rack 43 is U-shaped, and the height of the placement rack 43 is adapted to the distance between the door 2 and the drying chamber 1. After the two sides of the placement rack 43 are respectively attached to the bottom of the door 2, they can block the hot air in the drying chamber 1 to maintain the drying effect of the drying chamber 1. The back of the drying chamber 1 is provided with a limiting hole for the limiting rod 45 to pass through, so that the electric telescopic rod 42 drives the placement rack 43 more stably.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, the support frame 31 is provided with a driving component for driving the rotating rod 32 to rotate; the driving component includes a sprocket 33 fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 32, a chain 34 meshing with the outside of the sprocket 33, and a drive motor 38 fixedly installed on the outside of the left support frame 31, the output shaft of the drive motor 38 being fixedly connected to one end of the right top rotating rod 32.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the drive motor 38 drives the right top rotating rod 32 to rotate, the rotating right top rotating rod 32 can drive the top left rotating rod 32 synchronously through the top drying cylinder 39 at the top. Then, through the transmission cooperation of the sprocket 33 and the chain 34, several rotating rods 32 can be driven to rotate synchronously, which can drive the rotating top drying cylinder 39 and the bottom drying cylinder 310 to turn the placed tea leaves.

[0040] In an optional embodiment, a feeding component is provided on the left rotating rod 32; the feeding component includes a feeding pipe 35, the lower end of which is rotatably connected to the left bottom rotating rod 32, and the ends of the left middle rotating rod 32 and the left top rotating rod 32 are rotatably connected to a connecting pipe 36, one end of which communicates with the feeding pipe 35. Two valves 37 are installed on the feeding pipe 35, and the two valves 37 are located below the connecting pipe 36.

[0041] In this embodiment, when tea leaves to be dried are put into the feed pipe 35, the valve 37 is in the open state. After closing the bottom and top valves 37 in sequence, the tea leaves can be introduced into the top, middle and top top drying cylinders 39 and 310, thus completing the tea leaf feeding.

[0042] It should be noted that the left rotating rod 32 has a guide hole for supporting the feed pipe 35 and the connecting pipe 36. The ends of the feed pipe 35 and the connecting pipe 36 located inside the guide hole are inclined, so that the inclined ends of the feed pipe 35 and the connecting pipe 36 cooperate with the guide hole to put the tea leaves into the top drying cylinder 39 and the bottom drying cylinder 310.

[0043] All electrical components mentioned in this article are electrically connected to the main controller and power supply. The main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer, or a publicly available power connection technology, which will not be elaborated in this article.

[0044] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0045] When tea leaves are fed into the feed pipe 35, valve 37 is in the open state. After the appropriate amount of tea leaves are fed into the bottom top drying cylinder 39 and top drying cylinder 310 through the feed pipe 35, the bottom valve 37 can be closed. Then, the appropriate amount of tea leaves can be fed into the middle top drying cylinder 39 and top drying cylinder 310 through the bottom connecting pipe 36. Then, the top valve 37 can be closed to feed the appropriate amount of tea leaves into the top top drying cylinder 39 and top drying cylinder 310, thus completing the tea leaf feeding. When drying the tea leaves, the top valve 37 is opened to discharge the rising hot air.

[0046] During tea drying, the hot air blower on the drying chamber 1 and the drive motor 38 on the left support frame 31 can be started. When the drive motor 38 drives the right top rotating rod 32 to rotate, the rotating right top rotating rod 32 can drive the top left rotating rod 32 synchronously through the top drying cylinder 39. Then, through the transmission cooperation of the sprocket 33 and the chain 34, several rotating rods 32 can be driven to rotate synchronously. This can drive the rotating top drying cylinder 39 and the bottom drying cylinder 310 to turn the placed tea leaves, so as to improve the uniformity of the tea leaves contact with the hot air. When the dried tea leaves are taken out, the three sets of electric push rods 312, which are activated from top to bottom, push the bottom drying cylinder 310 to rotate and pour the tea leaves into the receiving box 44 that has been moved into the drying chamber 1. After the activated electric telescopic rod 42 pushes out the receiving box 44, the operator can take out the dried tea leaves more conveniently and safely.

[0047] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
