[0002] A drum-type tea dehydrator is a specialized piece of equipment used in tea processing. Its main function is to mechanically remove excess moisture from tea leaves to improve tea quality and shelf life. This equipment typically employs a drum structure, where the rotating drum causes the tea leaves to tumble continuously inside. Combined with hot air or infrared heating, this accelerates the evaporation of moisture from the tea leaves. Drum-type tea dehydrators offer advantages such as ease of operation, high dehydration efficiency, and low tea breakage rate, making them widely used in the tea processing industry. However, existing technology has a drawback: Users typically need to pour tea leaves into the dehydrator's inner cavity through the feed hopper. During feeding, the tea leaves may become stagnant and pile up inside the feed hopper, requiring manual pushing of the tea leaves into the dehydrator's inner cavity, increasing the user's workload.

[0025] The structure of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a drum-type tea dehydrator, including a tea dehydrator body 1 and a feeding hopper 2.

[0029] refer to Figure 4 The striking device 5 includes a rotating column 501, a striking plate 502 fixedly mounted on the curved surface of the rotating column 501, a push plate 503 mounted on the left side of the rotating column 501, a plurality of striking blocks 504 evenly distributed on the rear side of the top of the striking plate 502, and tension springs 505 mounted on the left and right sides of the front side of the top of the striking plate 502.
[0030] The above solution involves setting up a striking device 5 to strike the feed hopper 2, making the tea feeding process smoother.
[0031] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The feeding component 3 is mounted on the surface of the transmission column 403 and is fixedly connected to the transmission column 403.
[0032] The above solution allows for the feeding of tea leaves by setting up the feeding component 3, making it convenient for users to feed the tea leaves.
[0033] refer to Figure 3 The top of the support block 6 is fixedly connected to the feed hopper 2, and the right side of the support frame 7 is fixedly connected to the feed hopper 2.
[0034] The above solution is adopted: by setting the support block 6, the rotating column 501 can be supported, and by setting the support frame 7, the drive motor 401 can be supported.
[0035] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The drive motor 401 is fixedly connected to the support frame 7 on the side closest to the support frame 7. The left side of the transmission column 403 is fixedly connected to the transmission cam 402. The right side of the transmission column 403 passes through the feed hopper 2 and extends into the inner cavity of the feed hopper 2, where it is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the feed hopper 2.
[0036] The above scheme is adopted: by setting the drive motor 401, the transmission cam 402 and the transmission column 403 can be driven to rotate synchronously; by setting the transmission cam 402, the push plate 503 can be driven to rotate; and by setting the transmission column 403, the feeding component 3 can be driven to rotate.
[0037] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The right side of the rotating column 501 is rotatably connected to the support block 6, the left side of the rotating column 501 passes through the support block 6 and extends to the outside of the support block 6 and is fixedly connected to the push plate 503, the side of the striking plate 502 near the rotating column 501 is fixedly connected to the rotating column 501, the side of the push plate 503 near the transmission cam 402 is in contact with the transmission cam 402, the bottom of the striking block 504 is fixedly connected to the striking plate 502, the top of the striking block 504 is in contact with the feed hopper 2, and the top and bottom of the tension spring 505 are fixedly connected to the feed hopper 2 and the striking plate 502 respectively.

[0039] The working principle of this utility model:
[0040] When in use, start the drive motor 401, which drives the transmission cam 402 and the transmission column 403 to rotate synchronously. The transmission column 403 drives the feeding component 3 to rotate, conveying the tea leaves in the inner cavity of the feed hopper 2 to the inner cavity of the tea dehydrator body 1. At the same time, the transmission cam 402 pushes the push plate 503 to rotate. The push plate 503 drives the rotating column 501 and the striking plate 502 to rotate synchronously, and stretches the tension spring 505, so that the striking block 504 no longer contacts the bottom of the feed hopper 2. When the transmission cam 402 rotates to the appropriate position, the force released after the tension spring 505 is stretched will drive the striking plate 502, the rotating column 501 and the push plate 503 to rotate synchronously in the opposite direction and reset, so that the striking block 504 strikes the bottom of the feed hopper 2, making the tea feeding smoother and completing the work.
[0041] In summary, this drum-type tea dehydrator, through the coordinated use of the feeding component 3, the driving device 4, and the striking device 5, solves the problem that existing drum-type tea dehydrators typically require users to pour tea leaves into the dehydrator's inner cavity through the feeding hopper. However, during the feeding process, the tea leaves may become stagnant and pile up inside the feeding hopper, requiring manual pushing of the tea leaves into the dehydrator's inner cavity, thus increasing the user's labor intensity.
