Detailed Implementation

[0020] The utility model will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments: Example

[0021] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3Embodiment 1 describes a device including a base 1 located at the bottom of the entire device. A collection box 2 is mounted on the top of the base 1. Support legs 3 are fixedly mounted around the base 1, and a frame body 4 is fixedly mounted on the support legs 3. The frame body 4 is divided in the middle by a partition 11, and two drying rollers 12 are located on both sides of the partition 11. The drying rollers 12 are rotated by a drive assembly. Heating tubes 19 and fans 20 for drying tea leaves are provided on both sides of the frame body 4 and the partition 11. A feeding channel 10 is provided on the drying rollers 12, located at the bottom of a storage box 8. The storage box 8 is fixedly mounted on a connecting frame 7, which is located on a moving assembly. A second motor 21 is mounted on the drive assembly, and a rotating rod 22 is mounted on the output end of the second motor 21. There is a drying drum 12, and the other side of the rotating rod 22 is provided with the same rotating rod 22 and drying drum 12. There are pulleys 23 between the two rotating rods 22, and the pulleys 23 are connected by a belt 24. The top of the storage box 8 is provided with a feeding port 9 for adding tea leaves. The bottom of the storage box 8 is provided with a plate for controlling the tea leaves to fall down on the feeding channel 10. The front of the frame body 4 is fixedly installed with a panel 5. The drying drum 12 is equipped with a cylinder cover 14. The cylinder cover 14 and the drying drum 12 are rotatably connected by a movable shaft 13. The cylinder cover 14 is provided with a buckle, and the drying drum 12 is provided with a slot. The cylinder cover 14 can be fastened to the slot on the drying drum 12 by the buckle to prevent the cylinder cover 14 and the drying drum 12 from loosening and causing the tea leaves to fall during the drying process.

[0022] In this embodiment, the heating tube 19 and the fan 20 are used to dry the tea leaves in the two drying drums 12. The two drying drums 12 can be rotated by the second motor 21 to achieve more uniform drying. Example

[0023] refer to Figure 2 Example 2 is described below. This embodiment further describes Example 1 and includes a moving component. A first motor 15 is mounted on the moving component. A threaded rod 16 is mounted on the output end of the first motor 15. A threaded sleeve 17 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 16. A connecting block 18 is fixedly mounted on the threaded sleeve 17. A slot 6 is opened on the frame body 4. The slot 6 is larger than the size of the connecting block 18, and a connecting frame 7 is fixedly mounted on the connecting block 18.

[0024] In this embodiment, the movable component can drive the storage box 8 to move back and forth, which facilitates the feeding of the two drying rollers 12 on the frame body 4.

[0025] In practical applications, the drying equipment in this device adds the tea leaves to be dried into the storage box 8 through the feed inlet 9. The tea leaves are fed into the storage box 8 by controlling the insert plate of the feeding channel 10 at the bottom of the storage box 8. The storage box 8 can be moved by a moving assembly. The first motor 15 on the moving assembly drives the threaded sleeve 17 on the threaded rod 16 to rotate. Since the threaded sleeve 17 has a fixed connecting block 18, and a connecting frame 7 is fixedly installed on the connecting block 18, and the storage box 8 is fixedly installed on the connecting frame 7, the moving assembly can drive the storage box 8 to move back and forth, facilitating the feeding of the two drying rollers 12 on the frame body 4. After tea leaves are added to the drying drum 12, the tea leaves are dried by the heating tubes 19 on both sides and the fan 20. The two drying drums 12 can be driven by the second motor 21 to rotate the pulley 23 on the rotating rod 22. The pulley 23 is connected to the pulley 23 on the middle rotating rod 22 of the other drying drum 12 by the belt 24, so that the two drying drums 12 can rotate to make the drying more even. After drying, the drum cover 14 can be opened to introduce the dried tea leaves into the collection box 2. Then, the position of the storage box 8 can be adjusted by controlling the moving component to discharge the tea leaves. Repeating the above operation can achieve rapid drying of tea leaves.
