[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0026] First embodiment:

[0027] See Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a novel tea drying device, including a main support pole 1 and multiple support frames 3. The support frames 3 are arranged along the height direction of the main support pole 1. There are two main support poles 1, which are respectively arranged on the symmetrical sides of the support frames 3. The support frame 3 includes four rods 301. The four rods 301 are rotatably connected end to end to form a rhombus structure. The two ends of the rhombus are rotatably connected to the main support pole 1 through a first rotating member 4.

[0028] It also includes an auxiliary upright 2 located between the two main support uprights 1. The auxiliary upright 2 is rotatably connected to one of the other two connecting ends of the support frame 3 through the second rotating part 5. There is one auxiliary upright 2. By using the bottom of the auxiliary upright 2 and the two main support uprights 1 to contact the ground, it forms a support for multiple support frames 3, and the support effect is good.

[0029] When using the device, by moving the two main support poles 1 apart, the distance between the two ends of the support frame 3 can be adjusted, allowing the auxiliary pole 2 to move downwards until its bottom touches the ground. At this point, the support frame 3 is horizontally positioned, with the main support poles 1 and the auxiliary pole 2 providing support for the support frame 3. The rotation between the poles 301 helps the support frame 3 form a square structure, thus facilitating the support of the bamboo sieve used for drying tea leaves. After the tea leaves have finished drying, pushing the auxiliary pole 2 upwards causes the support frame 3 to rotate around the first rotating member 4. At this point, the support frame 3 tends to be vertical, bringing the two main support poles 1 closer together. The entire device is then collected into a rod-shaped structure, facilitating storage and transportation. The overall structure of the device is simple, and its use is flexible and convenient.

[0030] Furthermore, the number of support frames 3 is not less than three, and they are evenly distributed along the height direction of the main support pole 1, so that multiple support frames 3 can be used to spread and dry the tea leaves, thus achieving multi-layer spreading and drying of the tea leaves.

[0031] The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that:

[0032] In the structure of the first rotating component 4, the connecting ends of two adjacent rods 301 are rotatably connected by a rotating shaft. The first rotating component 4 includes a portal frame corresponding to the connecting end of the rod 301. The rotating shaft is rotatably engaged with the portal frame. The portal frame is provided with a rotating rod that is rotatably engaged with the main support rod 1 on the side facing the main support rod 1. By utilizing the rotational engagement of the rotating rod with the main support rod 1, the movable end of the support frame 3 can be assisted to rotate up and down. When it rotates to a vertical tilt, the two main support rods 1 move closer to each other, and the auxiliary rod 2 moves upward, which can help the entire device to be stored into a rod-shaped structure.

[0033] The second rotating component 5 includes a portal frame 2 corresponding to the connection end of the rod body 301. The rotating shaft is rotatably engaged with the portal frame 2. A rotating rod 2 is provided on the side of the portal frame 2 facing the auxiliary upright 2. The rotating rod 2 is rotatably engaged with the auxiliary upright 2. The vertical projections of the axis of the rotating rod 2 and the axis of the rotating rod 1 are perpendicular to each other. By utilizing the rotation between the rotating rod 2 and the auxiliary upright 2, after the auxiliary upright 2 moves up and down, it can help the main support uprights 1 located on both sides of it to move closer to each other.

[0034] The third embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that:

[0035] The main support column 1 and the auxiliary column 2 are provided with support bases 6 at their bottoms. The support bases 6 increase the support area of ​​the main support column 1 and the auxiliary column 2, thereby improving the overall stability of the device. Preferably, the support base 6 is a trapezoidal plate structure, with the small end of the trapezoid facing the main support column 1 or the auxiliary column 2 and the large end of the trapezoid facing the support frame 3. This can help support the support frame 3 and provide good support.

[0036] In another embodiment, the support base 6 includes two rod-shaped structures, which are rotatably connected to the bottom of the main support rod 1 and the auxiliary rod 2, respectively. Their rotation axes are vertically arranged. When the movable ends of the two support bases 6 move away from each other, they can support the bottom of the main support rod 1 and the auxiliary rod 2. When the two support bases 6 move closer to each other, they facilitate the storage of the device.

[0037] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
