Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tea stick production equipment, specifically to an automated production equipment for square tea sticks. Background Technology

[0002] The production and processing of square tea sticks has long relied on manual labor, lacking any effective automation technology or equipment. Current production methods involve manually folding aluminum foil, a process that is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also costly. The instability of manual operation leads to inconsistent product quality, failing to meet market demand for high-quality square tea sticks. Processes such as folding aluminum foil and filling and sealing tea require significant amounts of repetitive manual labor, greatly limiting production efficiency and increasing labor and time costs, making it difficult to achieve large-scale and standardized production of square tea sticks.

[0022] Combined with appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 2 An automated production equipment for square tea sticks includes a base 1 for rigid support and structural fit of the entire equipment. The base 1 is sequentially equipped with an indexing turntable 3 for station rotation, a feeding mechanism 4 for feeding and distributing perforated aluminum foil, an A-station mechanism 5 for the first five aluminum foil forming processes, a B-station mechanism 6 for the last five aluminum foil forming processes, a C-station mechanism 7 for aluminum foil unloading and reversing to change stations, a D-station mechanism 8 for the two processes of canning and sealing tea, and a detection A9 for detecting the presence or absence of aluminum foil. The equipment also includes a control system 2, which is a fully closed-loop control system with manual and fully automatic modes. The control system 2 controls the feeding mechanism 4, A-station mechanism 5, B-station mechanism 6, C-station mechanism 7, and D-station mechanism 8 to achieve aluminum foil forming, tea canning, and sealing, completing the entire automated production process.

[0023] The A-station mechanism 5 performs the first five steps of aluminum foil forming, replacing the manual folding of five times. The B-station mechanism 6, with a structure and operation mode adapted to the A-station mechanism 5, completes the last five steps of aluminum foil forming. The C-station mechanism 7, through automated material discharge and reverse station switching operations, avoids the problem of aluminum foil deformation caused by manual removal. The D-station mechanism 8 has a quantitatively adjustable tea canning function, and through a sealing mechanical structure and operation, completes the sealing action that previously required three manual steps, realizing the automation of tea canning and sealing.

[0024] The working principle of this automated square tea stick production equipment is as follows: This automated square tea stick production equipment is based on the coordinated operation of an automated control system and various actuators. The control system 2 serves as the core, employing a fully closed-loop control method to precisely coordinate the sequence and parameters of each mechanism's actions. Under the command of the control system, the feeding mechanism 4 transports the perforated aluminum foil to a specific station on the indexing turntable 3. The indexing turntable 3 rotates according to a preset program, sequentially delivering the aluminum foil to station A 5, station B 6, station C 7, and station D 8. Each station mechanism, based on the requirements of aluminum foil forming and canning / sealing processes, completes the corresponding operations through a combination of mechanical structures and actions. For example, stations A and B form the aluminum foil through multiple folding actions, while station D performs quantitative canning and sealing of the tea, thus achieving automated production of square tea sticks.

[0025] The working process of this automated square tea stick production equipment is as follows:

[0026] 1. Material preparation: The equipment is started, the control system 2 is initialized, the feeding mechanism 4 is ready, the aluminum foil with protrusions and holes is arranged to be fed, and the indexing turntable 3 is in the initial working position.

[0027] 2. Aluminum foil feeding: The feeding mechanism 4 conveys the aluminum foil to the starting processing position of the indexing turntable 3 according to the instructions of the control system 2 to complete the feeding action. The indexing turntable 3 is locked in position. The detection A9 is located between the feeding mechanism 4 and the A station mechanism 5 to detect whether there is aluminum foil being fed. If there is no aluminum foil, the action is not performed to ensure successful aluminum foil feeding.

[0028] 3. Five processes before forming at station A: The indexing turntable 3 rotates, sending the station containing aluminum foil to station A mechanism 5. Under the precise control of the control system 2, station A mechanism 5 performs the first five processes of aluminum foil forming, simulating the action of manually folding five times, which is more precise and efficient. After completion, the indexing turntable 3 rotates again.

[0029] 4. Five processes after forming at station B: After passing through the indexing turntable 3, the aluminum foil arrives at station B mechanism 6, which adopts the same structural action as station A mechanism 5 to complete the five processes after aluminum foil forming, further shaping the square tea stick aluminum foil shape. After the process ends, the indexing turntable 3 continues to change positions.

[0030] 5. C-station unloading and reversal: The formed aluminum foil is sent to the C-station mechanism 7. This mechanism automatically completes the unloading and reversal to change stations according to the program set by the control system 2, avoiding deformation of the aluminum foil caused by manual material handling and ensuring product quality. Then the indexing turntable 3 rotates to the next station.

[0031] 6. D-station filling and sealing: At the D-station mechanism 8, the tea leaves are first precisely filled into the aluminum foil according to the preset quantitative parameters. Then, through the sealing mechanical structure and action, the sealing operation that would normally require 3 manual steps is automatically completed, realizing the automation of tea filling and sealing. At this point, the square tea stick is basically formed, and the indexing turntable 3 is ready for the next cycle.

[0032] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
