When the tea is placed in the mold cavity 22, the tea can drive the ejection plate 24 to move downward under pressure. The movement of the ejection plate 24 can drive the ejector rods 25 and the moving plate 27 to move downward, and then the first spring 30 can be compressed to deform. When the pressure disappears, the first spring 30 can reset and push the ejection plate 24 to reset.

[0024] Working principle: During operation, the tea leaves are placed into the feeding cylinder 34, and then the motor 36 is started. The motor 36 can drive the screw 35 to rotate. The rotation of the screw 35 can drive the slider 32 to move rightward, and then drive the vertical rod 33 and the feeding cylinder 34 to move rightward. As a result, the material guiding hopper 37 can be moved above the mold cavity 22. The air cylinder 42 is started, and the air cylinder 42 can drive the baffle 43 to move upward. At this time, the tea leaves in the feeding cylinder 34 enter the mold cavity 22 along the material guiding hopper 37. The motor 36 continues to work, and the tea leaves can be evenly spread in the mold cavity 22. Then, the air cylinder 42 is started to drive the baffle 43 to reset, and the material guiding hopper 37 can be closed. Then, the motor 36 rotates in reverse, and the feeding cylinder 34 can be driven to reset. At this time, the hydraulic cylinder 52 works to drive the upper mold 53 to move downward, and the tea leaves in the mold cavity 22 can be pressed. The tea leaves under pressure can drive the ejector plate 24 to move downward. The downward movement of the ejector plate 24 can drive the ejector rod 25 and the moving plate 27 to move downward. The downward movement of the moving plate 27 can cause the first spring 30 to deform, and at the same time drive the guide block 62 to move downward. The downward movement of the guide block 62 can cause the second spring 71 to deform. After the pressing is completed, the hydraulic cylinder 52 drives the upper mold 53 to reset. At this time, the pressure disappears, and the reset of the first spring 30 and the second spring 71 can drive the ejector plate 24 to reset, and then the formed tea leaves can be ejected, automatically demolding the formed tea leaves. The formed tea leaves are taken off, and the above operations are repeated to batch press the tea leaves. The above is the working process of the entire device, and the content not described in detail in this specification belongs to the prior art well-known to those skilled in the art.
