[0002] The production and processing of square tea sticks has long relied on manual operation without any effective automation technology or equipment. The existing production methods are all manual folding of aluminum foil to form, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also costly. Due to the instability of manual operation, the quality of products varies greatly, making it difficult to meet the market demand for high-quality square tea sticks. In the production process, processes such as folding aluminum foil, canning and sealing tea leaves require a lot of manual repetitive labor, which greatly limits the improvement of production efficiency, while increasing labor costs and time costs, making it difficult to achieve scale and standardization in the production of square tea sticks.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0021] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0022] Combined with Figure 1 To Attachment Figure 2 , an automated production equipment for square tea sticks, comprising a rigid and structurally coordinated base 1 for carrying the entire set of equipment, the base 1 being sequentially equipped with a dividing turntable 3 for realizing station flow, a feeding mechanism 4 for dividing and feeding convex perforated aluminum foil, an A station mechanism 5 for realizing the first five processes of aluminum foil forming, a B station mechanism 6 for executing the last five processes of aluminum foil forming, a C station mechanism 7 for discharging and reversing the aluminum foil, a D station mechanism 8 for executing the two processes of canning tea leaves and sealing, a detection device A9 for detecting the presence or absence of aluminum foil, and also comprising a control system 2, the control system 2 being a fully closed-loop control system with manual and fully automatic modes, the feeding mechanism 4, the A station mechanism 5, the B station mechanism 6, the C station mechanism 7, and the D station mechanism 8 are controlled by the control system 2 to realize aluminum foil forming, tea canning and sealing, and complete the entire set of automated production processes for the product.
[0023] The A station mechanism 5 performs the first five steps of aluminum foil forming, replacing the manual folding action of five times. The B station mechanism 6 adopts a structure and action mode compatible with the A station mechanism 5 to complete the last five steps of aluminum foil forming. The C station mechanism 7 avoids the problem of aluminum foil deformation caused by manual removal through automated discharging and reverse station replacement operations. The D station mechanism 8 has a quantitatively adjustable canned tea function, and through the sealing mechanical structure and action, it completes the sealing action that requires three manual operations, realizing the automation of tea canning and sealing.
[0024] The working principle of the automated production equipment for square tea sticks of the present invention is as follows: the automated production equipment for square tea sticks is based on the coordinated operation of the automated control system and various actuators. The control system 2 is the core, and a full closed-loop control method is adopted to accurately coordinate the action sequence and parameters of each mechanism. Under the command of the control system, the feeding mechanism 4 conveys the aluminum foil with convex holes to a specific station of the indexing turntable 3. The indexing turntable 3 performs station flow according to a preset program, and conveys the aluminum foil to the A station mechanism 5, the B station mechanism 6, the C station mechanism 7 and the D station mechanism 8 in turn. Each station mechanism completes the corresponding process operation through a combination of mechanical structure and action according to the requirements of the aluminum foil forming, canning and sealing process. For example, the A and B station mechanisms form the aluminum foil through multiple folding actions, and the D station mechanism realizes quantitative canning and sealing of tea leaves, thereby realizing the automated production of square tea sticks.
[0025] The working process of the square tea stick automatic production equipment of the present invention is as follows:
[0026] 1. Loading preparation: The equipment is started, the control system 2 is initialized, the loading mechanism 4 is ready, the convex holed aluminum foil is arranged to be fed, and the indexing turntable 3 is in the initial position.
[0027] 2. Aluminum foil loading: The loading mechanism 4 transports the aluminum foil to the starting processing station of the indexing turntable 3 according to the instructions of the control system 2 to complete the loading action. The indexing turntable 3 is positioned and locked. The detection A9 is located between the loading mechanism 4 and the A-station mechanism 5 to detect whether there is aluminum foil loading. If there is no aluminum foil, no action is performed to ensure successful aluminum foil loading.
[0028] 3. The first five processes of forming at station A: the indexing turntable 3 rotates to send the station with aluminum foil to the A station mechanism 5. Under the precise control of the control system 2, the A station mechanism 5 executes the first five processes of aluminum foil forming, simulating the manual folding action five times with greater accuracy and efficiency. After completion, the indexing turntable 3 rotates again.
[0029] 4. Five processes after forming at station B: After circulating through the indexing turntable 3, the aluminum foil reaches the B station mechanism 6, which adopts the structural action adapted to the A station mechanism 5 to complete the five processes after aluminum foil forming, further shaping the square tea stick aluminum foil shape, and the process is completed and the indexing turntable 3 continues to change positions.
[0030] 5. Discharging and reversing at station C: The formed aluminum foil is sent to station C mechanism 7, which automatically completes the discharging and reversing station changing operations according to the program set by control system 2, avoiding deformation of aluminum foil caused by manual material removal and ensuring product quality. Then the indexing turntable 3 rotates to the next station.
[0031] 6. Filling and sealing at D station: At D station mechanism 8, firstly, the tea leaves are accurately filled into the aluminum foil according to the preset quantitative parameters, and then the sealing operation that requires three manual operations is automatically completed through the sealing mechanical structure and action, thus realizing the automation of tea filling and sealing. At this point, the square tea stick is basically formed, and the dividing turntable 3 is ready for the next cycle.
[0032] The present invention and its embodiments are described above, and such description is not restrictive. The drawings show only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In short, if ordinary technicians in the field are inspired by it, without departing from the purpose of the invention, they can design a structure and embodiment similar to the technical solution without creativity, which should belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
