Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tea flattening, and in particular to a tea flattening device for tea processing. Background Art
[0002] Tea leaves, commonly known as tea, usually include the leaves and buds of the tea tree. It is loved by people for its unique taste and aroma. Tea leaves contain a variety of ingredients that are beneficial to the human body, such as catechins, cholestenone, caffeine, inositol, folic acid and pantothenic acid. These ingredients play a variety of roles in the human body, such as anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory, refreshing, promoting digestion, etc., and have a positive effect on maintaining human health. In the production process of Taiping Houkui, a flattening device is required to flatten the tea leaves. During the flattening process, the cell walls of the tea leaves are damaged to a certain extent, which is conducive to the release of the aroma components and flavor substances inside the tea leaves, making the brewed tea soup more rich and fragrant.
[0003] The existing device has some disadvantages during use. For example, in the flattening process of Taiping Houkui, the tea leaves need to be arranged neatly and placed in the tea frame, and then the tea frame is manually placed in the flattening device. When the tea frame is placed in the flattening device, it is necessary to manually align the tea frame with the pressing area. This process requires workers to have certain experience, otherwise the tea frame may be placed inaccurately, thereby affecting the flattening effect. During the flattening process, workers need to always support the tea frame to prevent it from moving. If the support is unstable, the tea frame will move during the flattening process, thereby affecting the flattening quality of the tea. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a tea leaf flattening device for tea processing, which solves the problem that a tea leaf frame needs to be manually aligned with a flattening area and that a tea leaf frame needs to be manually supported during the flattening process.

The positions corresponding to the movable grooves on both sides of the upper end surfaces of the two movable plates are fixedly connected with fixed shafts, and the top ends of the four fixed shafts pass through the corresponding movable grooves. The outer sides of the tops of the four fixed shafts are rotatably connected to L-shaped support rods, and the two ends of the four L-shaped support rods are rotatably connected to support wheels.
[0012] In the above solution, the support wheel adopts a rotating connection method, and can roll and rub when contacting the corners of the tea frame, reducing friction and damage to the tea frame during the clamping process and protecting the integrity of the tea frame.
