[0024] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0025] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figures 1-5 As shown, in this embodiment, an adjustable tea drying machine includes a drying chamber 11. A motor 12 is installed at one end of the drying chamber 11. A support plate 31 is fixedly connected to one side of the drying chamber 11, and the motor 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the support plate 31. A drum 13 is installed inside the drying chamber 11. Multiple pulleys 14 are arranged in a circular array outside the drum 13. Three sets of slide rails 15 are provided on the inner wall of the drying chamber 11. The output end of the motor 12 extends into the drying chamber 11 and is fixedly connected to one end of the drum 13. The pulleys 14 are slidably connected within the slide rails 15. A drum door 16 is provided at the end of the drum 13 away from the motor 12. The inner walls of the drum 13 are connected to the drum door 16 on both sides of the drum door 16. Each roller 13 is provided with a sliding groove 17. A placement cylinder 18 is provided inside the roller 13. Sliding strips 19 are provided on both sides of the placement cylinder 18. The cylinder door 16 is fixedly installed at the end of the roller 13 away from the motor 12. Sliding strips 19 are fixedly connected to both sides of the placement cylinder 18. The outside of the sliding strips 19 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 17. The two sliding strips 19 are provided with mounting grooves 110 on the opposite side of the end away from the motor 12. A sealing cover 111 is provided in the mounting groove 110. The sealing cover 111 is mated in the two mounting grooves 110. The sealing cover 111 and the sliding strip 19 are fixedly installed by bolts 112. A drying mechanism 2 is provided at the bottom of the drying box 11.

[0026] In this embodiment, when the device is used to dry tea leaves, the tea leaves are first placed in the placement cylinder 18. The sealing cap 111 is then fixed to one side of the placement cylinder 18 using bolts 112, ensuring a tight seal. The placement cylinder 18 is then installed inside the drum 13 via a sliding strip 19 and a sliding groove 17. The drum door 16 is fixed to one side of the drum 13, thus limiting the placement cylinder 18 within the drum 13 and preventing it from detaching during rotation. Finally, the door of the drying chamber 11 is closed to dry the tea leaves inside. To ensure uniformity during tea drying, motor 12 can be started to drive drum 13 to rotate. Therefore, the pulleys 14 and slide rails 15 ensure the stability of drum 13 during rotation. After drying, the tea in the placement cylinder 18 can be taken out of the drying box 11. The removal steps are the reverse of the above steps, which will not be elaborated here. After removing the placement cylinder 18, the tea inside can be collected uniformly to prevent tea fragments from falling into the corners of the drying box 11, which is inconvenient to collect. In addition, the placement cylinder 18 can be cleaned to prevent the residue in the placement cylinder 18 from breeding bacteria and affecting the hygiene and quality of subsequent batches of tea.

[0027] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the drying mechanism 2 includes an electric heating box 21, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drying box 11. An electric heating wire 23 is electrically connected inside the electric heating box 21. A breathable mesh 22 is fixedly connected to a slot opened at the top of the electric heating box 21. A dryer 24 is fixedly installed at the top of the drying box 11. Two air outlet pipes 25 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the dryer 24, and both air outlet pipes 25 extend into the interior of the drying box 11.

[0028] In this embodiment, during the drying process of tea leaves, the electric heating box 21 can be activated to drive the heating wire 23 to work. The heat generated will rise into the drying box 11 to evenly dry the tea leaves inside the rotating placement cylinder 18. The provided air dryer 24 and air outlet pipe 25 make the air flow in the drying box more uniform and accelerate the evaporation of moisture on the surface of the tea leaves.

[0029] This utility model provides an adjustable tea drying machine, the specific working principle of which is as follows:

[0030] When using this device to dry tea, first place the tea leaves in the placement cylinder 18, and fix the sealing cap 111 to one side of the placement cylinder 18 with bolts 112 to ensure the tea leaves are sealed. Next, install the placement cylinder 18 into the drum 13 by connecting the slide bar 19 and the slide groove 17, and fix the drum door 16 to one side of the drum 13 to limit the position of the placement cylinder 18 inside the drum 13 and prevent it from coming off during rotation. After completing the above steps, close the door of the drying chamber 11 and start the motor 12 to drive the drum 13 to rotate, and rotate the drum 13 through the pulley 1. The design of 4 and slide rail 15 ensures the stability of the drum 13 during rotation, allowing the tea leaves in the placement cylinder 18 to be continuously turned. At the same time, the electric heating box 21 is activated, causing the heating wire 23 to work. The heat generated rises into the drying box 11, evenly drying the tea leaves inside the rotating placement cylinder 18. To accelerate the evaporation of moisture from the tea surface, the device is also equipped with a dryer 24 and an air outlet pipe 25, making the airflow inside the drying box more uniform. After the drying process is completed, the placement cylinder 18 is removed from the drying box 11 in the reverse order of the above steps, allowing the tea leaves inside to be collected uniformly.

[0031] 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.
