[0026] The upper end of the threaded block 5 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 4, and the other end of the connecting rod 4 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the connecting seat 13. The other two ends of the base 1 are fixedly connected to the cylinder 16, and the extension end of the cylinder 16 is fixedly connected to the roller 14. The inner ends of the mounting plate 6 are fixedly connected to the sliding rod 3. The threaded block 5 is slidably connected to the sliding rod 3. As the threaded block 5 gradually moves closer to the motor 15, the connecting seat 13 can be slowly lifted upward under the action of the connecting rod 4, thereby adjusting the angle of the blanching cylinder 12. In order to improve the stability of the entire lifting assembly, the connecting rod 4 is provided with two sets. During the lifting process, the cylinder 16 is activated to drive the roller 14 to move upward, thereby assisting the lifting and improving the stability of the entire angle adjustment assembly.

[0027] The upper end of the connecting seat 13 is fixedly connected to the blanching cylinder 12, and the inside of the blanching cylinder 12 is rotatably connected to the rotating cylinder 9. The bottom of the blanching cylinder 12 is provided with a slag discharge port 24 through the connecting seat 13. The inside of the rotating cylinder 9 is provided with several air inlets 23, and one end of the rotating cylinder 9 is provided with a door 8. The slag discharge port 24 is located in the cavity between the blanching cylinder 12 and the rotating cylinder 9. The tea waste residue during the blanching process can be discharged through the slag discharge port 24.

[0028] A bearing 22 is provided at the connection between the rotating cylinder 9 and the fixing cylinder 12. A gear 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the outer side of the rotating cylinder 9.

A motor and a fan are installed inside the air inlet box 19, which can send outside air into the heater 21 for heating. The fan assembly inside the air inlet box 19 is turned on, so that air is sent into the heater 21 for heating. Under the action of the air inlet pipe 25, the hot air enters the air supply hood 11 and then enters the fixing cylinder 12. At the same time, the hot air enters the interior through the air inlet hole 23 on the rotating cylinder 9 and comes into contact with the tea leaves to achieve the fixing operation.

[0030] Working principle: During use, the operator opens the chamber door 8 and sends the tea leaves to be processed into the rotating drum 9. Then, the chamber door 8 is closed, and the fan assembly inside the air inlet box 19 is turned on, thus sending air into the heater 21 for heating. Under the action of the air inlet pipe 25, the hot air enters the air supply hood 11, and then into the processing drum 12. Simultaneously, the hot air enters the rotating drum 9 through the air inlet hole 23 and comes into contact with the tea leaves, achieving the processing. To improve the processing effect, the starting motor 18 drives the gear 17 to rotate, and through meshing... The gear 10 and the rotating cylinder 9 are driven to rotate inside the fixing cylinder 12, tumbling the tea leaves and increasing the contact area with the hot air. After fixing, the staff opens the box door 8 and starts the motor 15, which drives the lead screw 2 to rotate. Under the action of the threaded connection, the threaded block 5 gradually moves towards the motor 15, allowing the connecting rod 4 to slowly lift the upper connecting seat 13, thus adjusting the angle of the fixing cylinder 12. This allows the tea leaves and waste inside to be discharged through the box opening and the slag discharge port 24, reducing the labor intensity of the staff and improving the fixing efficiency.
