[0002] Tea leaves, commonly known as tea, generally include the leaves and buds of the tea plant. Other names include cha, jia, ming, and chuan. Tea contains catechins, cholesterol, caffeine, inositol, folic acid, and pantothenic acid, all beneficial to health. The tea-making process requires a fermentation box, which is mostly made of stainless steel and consists of a sealed outer frame, a movable door, stainless steel brackets, a power control switch, a water tank, and temperature and humidity regulators. The fermentation box works by using electric heating elements to heat and evaporate the water in the tank, allowing the dough to ferment and expand fully under specific temperature and humidity conditions.

[0003] In the prior art, patent announcement number CN221729623U discloses a tea fermentation device based on a wire mesh cage, which relates to the technical field of tea fermentation equipment.

Bolts 8 are inserted into the fixing ports. A threaded groove is provided at the corresponding position of the housing 1 relative to the fixing port. The movable end of the bolt 8 is threaded in the cavity of the threaded groove.

[0021] like Figure 5 As shown, the conveyor belt 3 includes two rollers 301 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. A conveyor belt 302 is driven between the two rollers 301. Both ends of the conveyor belt 302 are fixedly connected to a synchronous belt 303. Two synchronous pulleys 304 are driven inside the synchronous belt 303. The two synchronous pulleys 304 are respectively fixedly sleeved on one end of the two rollers 301. An inner plate is in contact with the top wall inside the conveyor belt 302. The inner plate is fixed to the inner wall of the housing 1. The length of each conveyor belt 3 increases sequentially from top to bottom.

[0022] like Figure 4As shown, the linkage 4 includes three first gears 401 that are sequentially meshed with each other. The three first gears 401 are respectively fixedly connected to the ends of rollers 301 in the three conveyor belts 3. An internal gear ring 402 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating ring 201, and a second gear 403 is rotatably connected to one side of the housing 1.

Specifically, the inner wall of the housing 1 is provided with corresponding cavities at the corresponding positions of the rotating ring 201 and each roller 301. One end of the rotating ring 201 and the roller 301 rotates in their respective corresponding cavities, while the linkage 4 is provided on one side of the housing 1.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, a servo motor 9 is installed on one side of the housing 1. The output shaft of the servo motor 9 is fixedly connected to the shaft of the second gear 403. The servo motor 9 is electrically connected to the power supply.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, an arc-shaped plate 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box 1, and the outer wall of the arc-shaped plate 10 is in contact with the inner wall of the push plate 202.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, an inclined plate is fixedly connected to one side of the arc plate 10, and a scraper 11 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the box 1.

The bottom of the scraper 11 can be designed with a brush to clean the tea leaves on the inner wall of the push plate 202.

[0026] Working principle: The tea raw material is transported from the feed pipe 5 into the box 1 for fermentation. During the fermentation process, the servo motor 9 is started, which drives the second gear 403 to rotate. The second gear 403 simultaneously drives the corresponding first gear 401 and internal gear ring 402 to rotate. The first gear 401, in turn, drives the conveyor belt 3 to move by other first gears 401, and also drives the pusher 2 to rotate. The pusher 2 uses the push plate 202 to push the tea raw material along the outer periphery of the arc plate 10 to the top of the conveyor belt 3. At this time, the tea raw material falls onto the top layer of the conveyor belt 3. The tea raw material is transported by the rotation of the conveyor belt 302 on the conveyor belt 3, and the tea raw material passes through each conveyor belt 302 in sequence and falls back onto the bottom wall inside the box 1. Then the pusher 2 pushes the raw material again, and the process is repeated to achieve the effect of turning and spreading the tea raw material. During the rotation of the pusher frame 2, the scraper 11 will be reset by the elastic force of the spring. The scraper 11 scrapes off the tea raw material on the inner wall of the pusher plate 202 to prevent the tea raw material from getting stuck in the gap between the pusher plate 202 and the arc plate 10.

[0027] After fermentation is complete, loosen bolt 8 and pull out sealing plate 7 to open outlet 6, and discharge the fermented tea leaves through outlet 6.
