[0002] Tuancha, a small tea cake, originated during the Song Dynasty. First produced during Ding Wei's tenure as an official in Fujian, it was consumed exclusively by the imperial court. Tea cakes are printed with dragon and phoenix motifs. Those with a dragon pattern are called "Dragon Tuan," or "Dragon Tea," "Dragon Baking," or "Small Dragon Tuan"; those with a phoenix pattern are called "Phoenix Tuan," or "Phoenix Cake," or "Small Phoenix Tuan." The production process has evolved from initially using flavorings to later removing them. Modern tea cake production requires specialized pressing equipment to ensure quality.

[0003] When using the existing pressing device for tea cake production, workers first steam-soften the dried tea leaves, and then manually pour the steamed tea leaves into the pressing mold for pressing. This makes the production steps of tea cakes cumbersome and requires multiple manual operations, affecting production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] See also Figure 1-4 The present embodiment provides a technical solution: a tea cake pressing device for tea production, comprising a base 1 and a lifting hydraulic cylinder 2 installed at the center of the upper side of the base 1, a lifting plate 14 installed on the upper end of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 2, a plurality of lifting rods 15 installed on the upper side of the lifting plate 14, a steam base 16 installed on the upper end of the lifting rod 15, a bulge 18 formed at the center of the upper side of the steam base 16, a steam hole 19 is provided on the upper side of the steam base 16, and a steam hole 19 is connected to the steam hole 19 on the lower side of the steam base 16. A steam delivery pipe 17 is connected to the steam delivery pipe 17, and the end of the steam delivery pipe 17 away from the steam chassis 16 is connected to the steam pipe 9, a solenoid valve 13 is installed on the steam pipe 9, a steam generator 12 is installed on the steam pipe 9, a cake pressing mold 4 is installed on the upper side of the base 1, a cake pressing mold 4 is provided with a cake groove 10, the steam chassis 16 is slidably arranged in the cake groove 10, a cake pressing plate 11 is provided on the upper side of the steam chassis 16, a sliding seat 5 is installed on the upper side of the cake pressing plate 11, and a cake pressing hydraulic cylinder 6 is installed in the center of the upper side of the sliding seat 5.

[0019] like Figure 1-4As shown, when it is necessary to press tea cakes, the weighed dry tea leaves are poured into the cake groove 10, and then the cake pressing hydraulic cylinder 6 pushes the sliding seat 5 to move downward, so that the cake pressing plate 11 extends into the cake groove 10. When the height between the cake pressing plate 11 and the steam bottom plate 16 is maintained at 50 to 70 mm, the cake pressing plate 11 stops moving, the solenoid valve 13 is opened, and the steam generator 12 transmits high-temperature steam through the steam pipe 9 and the steam delivery pipe 17 to between the steam bottom plate 16 and the cake pressing plate 11, so that the dry tea leaves are steam-softened. After softening, the solenoid valve 13 is closed, the steam generator 12 stops delivering high-temperature steam, and the cake pressing liquid is pressed. The pressing cylinder 6 pushes the sliding seat 5 to continue to move downward, so that the cake pressing plate 11 presses the tea leaves into cakes and shapes them. After the cake pressing plate 11 and the steam base plate 16 are pressed and closed for 5 minutes, the cake pressing hydraulic cylinder 6 drives the sliding seat 5 and the cake pressing plate 11 to move upward, so that the cake pressing plate 11 is taken out of the cake groove 10, and then the jacking hydraulic cylinder 2 pushes upward through the jacking plate 14 and the jacking rod 15, so that the jacking rod 15 pushes the steam base plate 16 upward, so that the pressed tea cakes are pushed out of the cake groove 10, and then the unloading cylinder 8 pushes the unloading push plate 20 to move, thereby pushing the ejected tea cakes to move, and then unloading them from the cake pressing mold 4.

[0020] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the cake pressing hydraulic cylinder 6 provides the power for the cake pressing plate 11 to press the tea cake. The cake pressing hydraulic cylinder 6 can push the sliding seat 5 to move up and down, so that the cake pressing plate 11 presses the tea leaves into shape.

[0021] A top cover 7 is installed on the upper end of the cake pressing hydraulic cylinder 6, a discharge push plate 20 is provided on one side of the cake pressing mold 4, and a discharge cylinder 8 is installed on the side of the discharge push plate 20 away from the cake pressing mold 4.

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the unloading cylinder 8 can push the unloading push plate 20 to move, so that the unloading push plate 20 unloads and pushes the ejected tea cake out of the cake pressing mold 4.

[0023] Guide columns 3 are installed at the four corners of the sliding seat 5 and the top cover 7. The upper ends of the guide columns 3 are connected to the top cover 7 through bolts, and the guide columns 3 are slidably connected to the sliding seat 5.

[0024] The solenoid valve 13 is connected to the steam pipe 9 through a flange, and the steam delivery pipe 17 is a rubber hose.

[0025] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the solenoid valve 13 can control the opening and closing of the steam pipe 9, thereby controlling the delivery and stopping of steam.

[0026] The upper end of the jacking hydraulic cylinder 2 is connected to the jacking plate 14 through bolts, and the jacking plate 14 is connected to the jacking rod 15 through bolts.

[0027] like Figure 1-2As shown, the lifting hydraulic cylinder 2 can move up and down through the lifting plate 14 and the lifting rod 15, so that the steam base plate 16 moves up and down, thereby pushing the pressed tea cake out of the cake groove 10, thereby facilitating the unloading push plate 20 to unload the tea cake.

[0028] The working principle of the tea cake pressing device for tea production provided by the utility model is as follows: Figures 1-4 As shown, when it is necessary to press tea cakes, the weighed dry tea leaves are poured into the cake groove 10, and then the cake pressing hydraulic cylinder 6 pushes the sliding seat 5 to move downward, so that the cake pressing plate 11 extends into the cake groove 10. When the height between the cake pressing plate 11 and the steam bottom plate 16 is maintained at 50 to 70 mm, the cake pressing plate 11 stops moving, the solenoid valve 13 is opened, and the steam generator 12 transmits high-temperature steam through the steam pipe 9 and the steam delivery pipe 17 to between the steam bottom plate 16 and the cake pressing plate 11, so that the dry tea leaves are steam-softened. After softening, the solenoid valve 13 is closed, the steam generator 12 stops delivering high-temperature steam, and the cake pressing liquid is pressed. The pressing cylinder 6 pushes the sliding seat 5 to continue to move downward, so that the cake pressing plate 11 presses the tea leaves into cakes and shapes them. After the cake pressing plate 11 and the steam base plate 16 are pressed and closed for 5 minutes, the cake pressing hydraulic cylinder 6 drives the sliding seat 5 and the cake pressing plate 11 to move upward, so that the cake pressing plate 11 is taken out of the cake groove 10, and then the jacking hydraulic cylinder 2 pushes upward through the jacking plate 14 and the jacking rod 15, so that the jacking rod 15 pushes the steam base plate 16 upward, so that the pressed tea cakes are pushed out of the cake groove 10, and then the unloading cylinder 8 pushes the unloading push plate 20 to move, thereby pushing the ejected tea cakes to move, and then unloading them from the cake pressing mold 4.
