A second electric push rod 52 is horizontally installed on the positioning column 51 close to the upper side of the rotating seat 23. The extended end of the second electric push rod 52 is installed with a push plate 53 attached to the upper end of the rotating seat 23;

[0026] The output end of the motor 21 is coaxially and fixedly connected with the driving gear inside the gear assembly 22. The driven gear inside the gear assembly 22 is coaxially and fixedly connected with the rotating seat 23. The material storage and adjustment member 2 further includes a spring 25 arranged on the lower side of the active rod 24. The top of the spring 25 is fixedly connected with the rotating seat 23.

[0027] The second implementation mode is mainly different from the first implementation mode in that:

[0028] The flattened part 5 further includes an air supply part 54 arranged at the top of the positioning column 51. The air supply part 54 includes an air pump 541 fixedly connected to the top of the positioning column 51. A three-way valve 542 is installed at the upper exhaust end of the air pump 541.

When the push plate 53 pushes the flattened tea leaves into the recycling box 3, the three-way valve 542 is reversed. At this time, the air is sprayed out through the branch pipe 544 and the push plate 53, realizing the detachment of the tea leaves retained by the push plate 53.

[0030] At the same time, the content not described in detail in this specification belongs to the prior art well-known to those skilled in the art, and the model parameters of each electrical appliance are not specifically limited, and conventional equipment can be used.

[0031] During use, the user imports the tea leaves to be flattened through an external feeding part through the feeding pipe 43 and the housing 42 onto the movable plate 26 in the receiving groove of the rotating seat 23. The weight sensor in the movable plate 26 measures the weight of the tea leaves on its upper side. When the imported tea leaves reach the appropriate weight, the import of tea leaves is stopped. The first pressing plate 45 is driven to move down by the first electric push rod 44. The first pressing plate 45 peels off the tea leaves remaining on the inner wall of the housing 42 during the import process, and finally performs a primary extrusion on the tea leaves on the upper surface of the receiving groove, making the height of the top of the tea leaves in the receiving groove lower than the upper surface height of the rotating seat 23, and then the first pressing plate 45 is reset;

[0032] Start the motor 21. The motor 21 drives the rotating seat 23, the movable rod 24, the spring 25, and the movable plate 26 to rotate through the gear assembly 22. After the movable plate 26 with tea leaves on the upper side moves to directly below the second pressing plate 56, turn off the motor 21, and drive the second pressing plate 56 through the air cylinder 55 to perform secondary extrusion on the tea leaves stored on the movable plate 26 to promote the flattening of the tea leaves. After the tea leaves are flattened, let the second pressing plate 56 return to its original position, and continue to adjust the rotating seat 23. When the movable rod 24 moves towards the recycling box 3, the top block 27 gradually pushes the movable rod 24, the movable plate 26, and the flattened tea leaves out of the rotating seat 23. The movable rod 24 gradually compresses the spring 25. When the completely lifted movable plate 26 is flush with the top of the rotating seat 23, start the second electric push rod 52. The second electric push rod 52 drives the push plate 53 to move horizontally. The horizontally moving push plate 53 pushes the flattened tea leaves on the movable plate 26 into the recycling box 3. When the movable rod 24 separates from the top block 27, under the action of the spring 25, the movable rod 24 and the movable plate 26 return to their original positions. The weight sensor is a prior art, so its specific internal structure and working principle will not be described in detail here.

[0033] It should be noted that in this article, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the term "comprises", "comprising" or any other variation thereof is intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0034] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
