Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural product processing, specifically to a pressing device. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of agricultural products, such as before preparing finished Qingfengteng (Sinomenium acutum) slices, the harvested vines need to be thoroughly cleaned, followed by slicing and drying. To stimulate the metabolism of more sinomenine under external stress, thus increasing the extraction rate of sinomenine, and to reduce the moisture content of the vines and improve drying efficiency for subsequent drying and processing, the vines need to be pressed. However, manual pressing, where workers directly press the pressure plate by hand, cannot create sufficient pressure, greatly increasing their workload and making it difficult to control the pressing force. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the above problems by providing a pressing device that can increase the extraction rate of agricultural products such as sinomenine, reduce the labor intensity of workers, and facilitate workers in controlling the pressing force.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts a pressing device, which includes a base, a pressure rod support part provided at the upper end of the base, a pressure rod rotatably connected to the pressure rod support part, the middle part of the pressure rod being rotatably connected to the upper end of a connecting rod, the lower end of the connecting rod being rotatably connected to the upper end of a guide plate, the lower end of the guide plate passing through a fixed bracket and connected to a pressure plate, and the pressure plate being located above the base.

[0005] Furthermore, a carrying plate is slidably provided on the base to facilitate staff in picking up and placing agricultural products.

[0006] Furthermore, the loading plate is located in a groove at the upper end of the base to improve the stability of the loading plate's movement.

[0007] Furthermore, to facilitate the operator's movement of the loading platform, a pushing part extending outward from the base is provided on the side end of the loading platform.

[0008] Furthermore, a through hole is provided in the middle of the loading plate, and a flip plate is rotatably installed in the through hole. When the lower end of the flip plate loses support, the flip plate will rotate, thereby causing the material on the flip plate to fall off automatically, so as to reduce the labor intensity of the workers.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: When pressing agricultural products such as *Gynostemma pentaphyllum*, the product is first placed under the pressing plate. Then, the worker applies pressure at the end of the pressing lever. Utilizing the lever principle, the worker only needs to apply a small amount of force to complete the pressing, which greatly reduces labor intensity. Furthermore, during the pressing process, the worker can control the force well and measure the degree of compression of the *Gynostemma pentaphyllum* based on its volume.

[0017] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model in any way.

[0018] Example 1, such as Figure 1-2As shown, the structure of this embodiment is a pressing device, which includes a base 1. A pressure rod support 2 is provided on the upper end of the base 1. The upper part of the pressure rod support 2 is rotatably connected to one end of the pressure rod 3 by a pin and a rotating shaft. The middle part of the pressure rod 3 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the connecting rod 4 by a pin and a rotating shaft. The length from the other end of the pressure rod 3 (the end away from the pressure rod support 2) to its connection point with the connecting rod 4 is greater than the length from the connection point of the connecting rod 4 and the pressure rod 3 to the connection point of the pressure rod 3 and the pressure rod support 2. The lower end of the connecting rod 4 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the guide plate 5 by a pin and a rotating shaft. The lower end of the guide plate 5 passes through a fixed bracket 6 and is fixedly connected to the upper end of the pressure plate 7. In this embodiment, the lower end of the bracket 6 is provided with a support foot, which is fixedly set on the upper end of the base 1. The pressure plate 7 is located above the base 1.

[0019] In practice: the worker places the cut vine under the pressure plate 7. Then, the worker applies pressure to the end of the pressure rod to drive the pressure plate 7 to move towards the base 1 to press the vine.

[0020] Example 2, as Figure 3 As shown, the other structures and working processes of this embodiment are the same as in Embodiment 1. However, in this embodiment, a sliding groove 9 is provided at the upper end of the base 1. One end of the sliding groove 9 extends below the pressure plate, and the other end of the sliding groove 9 extends to the side wall of the base 1 and is open. A matching carrying plate 8 is provided in the sliding groove 9. The inner side wall of the sliding groove 9 and the side wall of the carrying plate 8 are keyed together. A pushing part 10 extending outward from the side end of the carrying plate 8 is provided. In this embodiment, the pushing part 10 is located on the open side end of the sliding groove 9. To further facilitate the worker to pull out the carrying plate 8, the pushing part 10 may be provided with protrusions, holes, etc.

[0021] In practice: the worker pulls the support plate 8 out from under the pressure plate 7. At this time, there are no obstructions such as the pressure plate 7 and the bracket 6 above the support plate 8, allowing the worker to easily place the vine in the middle of the support plate 8. After the vine is placed, the worker pushes the support plate 8 back under the pressure plate 7.

[0022] Example 3, as Figure 4-6 As shown, the other structures and working processes of this embodiment are the same as in embodiment 2. However, in this embodiment, a through hole is provided in the middle of the carrying plate 8, and a flip plate 11 is rotatably arranged inside the through hole. For this purpose, a rotating shaft is arranged laterally at one end of the side wall of the flip plate 11. The rotating shaft is rotatably arranged on the inner side wall of the through hole. The rotating shaft is located at the far end of the pushing part 10, and the lower end surface of the flip plate 11 is flush with the lower end surface of the carrying plate 8. The base 1 is installed on the worktable. At this time, either a part of the base 1 extends out of the worktable from the open side of the slide groove 9, and the lower end of the slide groove 9 located outside the worktable is open. Or a through hole is provided on the worktable, and the lower end of the slide groove 9 located above the through hole is open.

[0023] In practice, after pressing is completed, the worker pulls the carrier plate 8 out from under the pressure plate 7. When the lower end of the flipping plate 11 is no longer restricted, under the action of gravity, the flipping plate 11 flips downward near the pusher 10, causing the vines on the flipping plate 11 to fall off. A collection box can be placed under the workbench beforehand to collect the fallen vines. Then the worker pushes the carrier plate 8 back under the pressure plate 7. During the movement of the carrier plate 8, the flipping plate 11 is pressed against the bottom of the slide 9, thus resetting itself.
