[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Example: Refer to Figure 1-5 ;

[0027] In this embodiment, the mounting base 1 is included, and the following are also included:

[0028] Rotary seat 2 is rotatably installed at the bottom of mounting seat 1. Rotary wheel 3 is rotatably installed inside the rotating seat 2. Groove 4 is provided on the circumference of the rotating wheel 3. Nozzle 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the groove 4. Air inlet pipe 6 is fixedly installed at the top of the groove 4. The top end of air inlet pipe 6 passes through the rotating seat 2 and mounting seat 1 and extends to the outside.

[0029] A limiting component is located inside the rotating seat 2 and is used to limit the rotation wheel 3;

[0030] The drive assembly is located inside the mounting base 1 and is used to drive the rotating base 2 to rotate.

[0031] When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the nozzle 5, the operator can release the limit of the rotating wheel 3 through the limiting component. The operator can rotate the rotating wheel 3, and the rotation of the rotating wheel 3 will drive the nozzle 5 to rotate vertically until the nozzle 5 rotates to the appropriate angle and stops. At this time, the limiting component can limit the rotating wheel 3 to ensure that the operator can easily adjust the vertical angle of the nozzle 5.

[0032] Subsequently, the personnel can drive the rotating seat 2 to rotate through the drive component. The rotation of the rotating seat 2 will drive the rotating wheel 3 to rotate, and the rotation of the rotating wheel 3 will drive the nozzle 5 to rotate, thereby adjusting the horizontal angle of the nozzle 5. This ensures that the vertical and horizontal angles of the nozzle 5 can be adjusted, allowing tea leaves to be sorted from different angles, thus adapting to the sorting needs of different tea varieties and improving sorting efficiency.

[0033] In this embodiment, the limiting component includes:

[0034] The sliding groove 7 is opened inside the rotating seat 2. The limiting block 8 is slidably installed inside the sliding groove 7. Several limiting holes 11 are opened on the circumference of the rotating shaft of the rotating wheel 3. The bottom end of the limiting block 8 passes through the bottom of the sliding groove 7 and extends into one of the limiting holes 11. The top end of the limiting block 8 is fixedly installed with a spring 9 that is fixed to the top of the sliding groove 7. One side of the limiting block 8 passes through the sliding groove 7 and extends to the outside, and a movable plate 10 is fixedly installed thereon.

[0035] The upward movement of the moving plate 10 causes the limiting block 8 to move upward, which in turn compresses the spring 9 until the bottom end of the limiting block 8 can move out of one of the limiting holes 11. At this point, the limiting block 8 can release the limiting of the rotating wheel 3, and the operator can rotate the rotating wheel 3. The rotation of the rotating wheel 3 will cause the nozzle 5 to rotate vertically until the nozzle 5 stops at a suitable angle. At this point, under the action of the spring 9's rebound force, the spring 9 will compress the limiting block 8 to move downward until the bottom end of the limiting block 8 is inserted into the corresponding limiting hole 11. At this point, the limiting block 8 can limit the rotating wheel 3, ensuring that the operator can easily adjust the vertical angle of the nozzle 5.

[0036] In this embodiment, the bottom end of the limiting block 8 is inserted into the limiting hole 11, and the limiting holes 11 are distributed in a ring with equal spacing.

[0037] In particular, it is ensured that the bottom end of the limiting block 8 can be inserted into the limiting hole 11, so as to ensure that the rotation angle of the nozzle 5 is more uniform.

[0038] In this embodiment, the driving component includes:

[0039] A rotating groove 12 is formed at the bottom of the mounting base 1. A turntable 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating base 2 within the rotating groove 12. A gear ring 14 is fixedly installed on the periphery of the turntable 13 within the rotating groove 12. A gear 15 is meshed on one side of the gear ring 14 within the rotating groove 12. A mounting groove 16 is formed in the mounting base 1 above the gear 15. A motor 17 is fixedly installed in the mounting groove 16. The output end of the motor 17 passes through the bottom of the mounting groove 16 and is coaxially connected to the gear 15.

[0040] The motor 17 is started, and its output shaft drives the gear 15 to rotate. Under the meshing action, the gear 15 rotates, which in turn drives the turntable 13 to rotate. The turntable 13 rotates, which in turn drives the rotating seat 2 to rotate. The rotating seat 2 rotates, which in turn drives the rotating wheel 3 to rotate. The rotating wheel 3 rotates, which in turn drives the nozzle 5 to rotate, thereby adjusting the horizontal angle of the nozzle 5. This ensures that the vertical and horizontal angles of the nozzle 5 can be adjusted, allowing tea leaves to be sorted from different angles. This adapts to the sorting needs of different tea varieties and improves sorting efficiency.

[0041] In this embodiment, the turntable 13, the gear ring 14, and the gear 15 are all rotatably connected to the rotating groove 12, and the output shaft of the motor 17 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 1.

[0042] Specifically, it ensures that the turntable 13, the gear ring 14, and the gear 15 can rotate normally within the rotating groove 12, and ensures that the output shaft of the motor 17 can rotate normally within the mounting base 1.

[0043] In this embodiment, the air intake pipe 6 is connected to the rotating wheel 3 and the nozzle 5.

[0044] This includes ensuring the structural stability of the air intake pipe 6, the rotating wheel 3, and the nozzle 5.

[0045] In this embodiment, the air intake pipe 6 is made of rubber.

[0046] Among these measures, it is ensured that the intake pipe 6 can deform.

[0047] In use: When the angle of nozzle 5 needs to be adjusted, the operator can move the moving plate 10 upward. The upward movement of the moving plate 10 will drive the limiting block 8 to move upward. The upward movement of the limiting block 8 will compress the spring 9 to retract until the bottom end of the limiting block 8 can move out of one of the limiting holes 11. At this time, the limiting block 8 can release the limiting of the rotating wheel 3. The operator can rotate the rotating wheel 3. The rotation of the rotating wheel 3 will drive the nozzle 5 to rotate vertically until the nozzle 5 rotates to the appropriate angle and stops. At this time, under the action of the rebound force of the spring 9, the spring 9 will compress the limiting block 8 to move downward until the bottom end of the limiting block 8 is inserted into the corresponding limiting hole 11. At this time, the limiting block 8 can limit the rotating wheel 3 to ensure that the operator can easily adjust the vertical angle of the nozzle 5.

[0048] Subsequently, personnel can start motor 17. The output shaft of motor 17 will drive gear 15 to rotate. Under the action of meshing, the rotation of gear 15 will drive turntable 13 to rotate. The rotation of turntable 13 will drive rotating seat 2 to rotate. The rotation of rotating seat 2 will drive rotating wheel 3 to rotate. The rotation of rotating wheel 3 will drive nozzle 5 to rotate, thereby adjusting the horizontal angle of nozzle 5. This ensures that the vertical and horizontal angles of nozzle 5 can be adjusted, ensuring that tea can be sorted from different angles, thus adapting to the sorting needs of different tea types and improving sorting efficiency.

[0049] In summary, by setting up a limiting component, the vertical and horizontal angles of the nozzle 5 can be adjusted through the cooperation of the limiting component, the rotating wheel 3, the nozzle 5, and the rotating seat 2, ensuring that tea leaves can be sorted from different angles, thereby adapting to the sorting needs of different types of tea and improving sorting efficiency.
