Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing equipment, and in particular to a tea processing machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the tea processing industry, "making green" (also known as "shaking green") is a special process in the initial processing of oolong tea. It is used to promote the transformation of substances inside the tea leaves, such as the oxidation of tea polyphenols, thereby forming the unique quality characteristics of oolong tea.

[0003] Existing tea processing machines are generally cylindrical in structure, driven by a motor to rotate the processing cylinder, causing the tea leaves to tumble continuously inside. For ease of feeding, these machines typically employ a separate gate and processing cylinder design, meaning the gate detaches directly after processing, allowing feeding to occur while the cylinder rotates. However, this separate design requires manual operation of the gate to connect or disconnect the gate from the processing cylinder after processing and before further processing, resulting in significant labor intensity.
