An air outlet plate 13 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the drying compartment 3, and an air outlet nozzle 14 is detachably installed on the surface of the air outlet plate 13. A fan 10 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the drying chamber 1, and an electric heating wire heating box 11 is installed at the air outlet end of the fan 10. The electric heating wire heating box 11 is connected to the air outlet plate 13 through a heating pipe 12. A drive motor 5 is installed inside the drying chamber 1, and the output end of the drive motor 5 extends into the lifting compartment 4 and is equipped with a spiral lifting blade 6. The lifting compartment 4 and the drying compartment 3 are connected through a feed inlet 8 and a return outlet 7. A discharge pipe 9 is fixedly installed on one side surface of the lifting compartment 4, and a valve is installed on the discharge pipe 9.

[0027] In use, open the lid 2 and put the tea leaves into the drying chamber 1. Then, use switch 19 to start the fan 10, vibrating motor 16, drive motor 5 and heating wire heating chamber 11. The tea leaves enter the lifting chamber 4 through the feed port 8 on the inclined vibrating screen 15. The spiral lifting blades 6 rotate, lifting the tea leaves upward and then dropping them back into the drying chamber 3 for drying and aroma enhancement. The spiral lifting blades 6 circulate and turn the tea leaves, and the hot air penetrates the tea layer evenly, resulting in a more ideal drying and aroma enhancement effect and a more efficient drying and aroma enhancement. By setting up the vibrating screen 15, the falling tea leaves can be screened to separate qualified tea leaves. Unqualified tea leaves can fall through the vibrating screen 15 and fall into the collection box 18 for collection. After drying and aroma enhancement, open the valve on the discharge pipe 9 to discharge the tea leaves.

[0028] In this embodiment: a vibrating screen 15 is provided at the bottom of the drying chamber 3, and a vibrating motor 16 is installed on the bottom surface of the vibrating screen 15, and a protective cover is provided on the outside of the vibrating motor 16.

[0029] Specifically, this prevents broken tea leaves from entering the vibrating motor 16, ensuring that the vibrating motor 16 can work normally.

[0030] In this embodiment: one end of the vibrating screen 15 extends into the feed inlet 8, and the vibrating screen 15 is inclined.

[0031] Specifically, this ensures that the tea leaves can smoothly enter the feed inlet 8 and be lifted by the screw conveyor 6.

[0032] In this embodiment: a material collection hopper 17 is provided at the bottom of the interior of the drying chamber 3, and a collection box 18 that is slidably connected to the drying chamber 1 is provided below the material collection hopper 17.

[0033] Specifically, it can collect broken tea leaves, and the cleaning process is convenient and labor-saving.

[0034] In this embodiment: a switch 19 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the drying oven 1, and the switch 19 is electrically connected to the fan 10, the drive motor 5 and the heating wire heating box 11 through wires.

[0035] Specifically, the common circuit connection structure will not be elaborated on here.

[0036] In this embodiment, multiple air outlets 14 are provided, and the multiple air outlets 14 are arranged in a ring array on the surface of the air outlet plate 13.

[0037] Specifically, the hot air is distributed more evenly, penetrating the tea layer uniformly to ensure the drying and aroma-enhancing effects on the tea leaves.

[0038] In this implementation plan: the top surface of the drying oven 1 is detachably fitted with a lid 2.

[0039] Specifically, it facilitates opening the box cover 2 for loading materials.

[0040] In this implementation scheme: switch 19 is an existing structure, and the control circuit can be implemented by a person skilled in the art through simple programming. It is common knowledge in the art. It is only used and not modified. Therefore, the control method and circuit connection will not be described in detail.

[0041] Working principle: When in use, open the lid 2 and put the tea leaves into the drying chamber 1. Then, use switch 19 to start the fan 10, vibrating motor 16, drive motor 5 and heating wire heating chamber 11. The tea leaves enter the lifting chamber 4 through the feed port 8 on the inclined vibrating screen 15. The spiral lifting blades 6 rotate, lifting the tea leaves upward and then dropping them back into the drying chamber 3 for drying and aroma enhancement. The spiral lifting blades 6 circulate and turn the tea leaves, and the hot air penetrates the tea layer evenly, resulting in a more ideal drying and aroma enhancement effect and a more efficient drying and aroma enhancement. By setting up the vibrating screen 15, the falling tea leaves can be screened to separate qualified tea leaves. Unqualified tea leaves can fall through the vibrating screen 15 and fall into the collection box 18 for collection. After drying and aroma enhancement, open the valve on the discharge pipe 9 to discharge the tea leaves.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
