[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a tea picking machine, including a housing 1. The housing 1 has a feed inlet 101 and an exhaust port 102 at both ends. A cutting component is provided on the outside of the feed inlet 101. A filter screen 1021 is provided at one end of the exhaust port 102 near the housing 1. An exhaust fan 1023 is provided inside the exhaust port 102. A slot 103 is provided on the side of the housing 1. A collection frame 3 is inserted into the slot 103. A locking hole 301 is provided on the side of the collection frame 3. A positioning hole 104 is provided on the housing 1 near the locking hole 301. A locking bolt 4 is threaded into the positioning hole 104. The locking bolt 4 passes through the positioning hole 104 and is inserted into the locking hole 301 to fix the collection frame 3.
[0023] The tea leaves are cut by the cutting component 2. The cut tea leaves are sucked into the housing 1 by the exhaust fan 1023. The tea leaves that enter the housing 1 will be collected in the collection box 3. The collection box 3 can be pulled out of the housing 1 to pour out the tea leaves.
[0024] Furthermore, the cutting assembly 2 includes a gear 201, a first blade 202, a second blade 203, and a drive motor. There are two gears 201, which mesh and rotate together on the housing 1. The two gears 201 are respectively connected to the first blade 202 and the second blade 203. The drive motor is fixed inside the housing 1, and the drive shaft of the drive motor is connected to one of the gears 201.
[0025] By driving one of the gears 201 to rotate by the drive motor, the two gears 201 can rotate synchronously, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the first blade 202 and the second blade 203 to cut the tea leaves.
[0026] Furthermore, a protective net 1022 is provided on the outside of the exhaust vent 102, which serves to protect the exhaust fan 1023.
