[0002] Compressed tea, primarily made from black tea, aged green tea, fermented tea, and other suitable compressed tea materials, is processed through typical processes such as steaming and pressing to produce tea in round, brick, or other shapes like dragon pearls. Existing brick tea pressing methods utilize molds, such as the Chinese patent "Brick Tea Pressing Mold and Method" (patent number: CN201611096959.5). In this method, the raw tea material is placed into a brick-shaped mold, and a cylinder drives a pressure plate downwards. The pressure plate passes through the feed inlet and enters the mold to press the raw tea material. However, this method has the following problems: 1. When a large amount of tea leaves are poured into the mold, they tend to become entangled and difficult to separate, causing inconvenience for tea drinkers; 2. Manual operation is required to repeatedly pour the tea leaves in, resulting in low automation and low pressing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides a brick tea pressing and forming equipment, which aims to improve the technical problems of existing brick tea pressing molds, such as tea leaves being entangled and making it difficult to break the pressed brick tea apart, and low degree of automation.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a brick tea pressing and forming equipment, including a worktable, on which a tea feeding mechanism and a tea pressing mechanism are installed; the tea feeding mechanism includes a funnel, a feeding belt, and an intermittent pushing module, the funnel is disposed above the feeding belt, and a rotatable stirring shaft is disposed at the bottom of the funnel; the intermittent pushing module includes a U-shaped channel and a movable pushing plate, the U-shaped channel is disposed at the end of the feeding belt, and the pushing plate moves along the U-shaped channel; the tea pressing mechanism includes an electric cylinder, a through groove, and a bottom plate arranged from top to bottom, the piston rod of the electric cylinder is connected to a T-shaped pressing block, the bottom plate is movably disposed at the bottom of the through groove, and the U-shaped channel is disposed on one side of the upper opening of the through groove.

[0005] Furthermore, a tea-filling mechanism is provided at the lower end of the through groove. The tea-filling mechanism includes a support plate and two side plates, and the side plates have arc-shaped notches.

[0006] Furthermore, the tea pressing mechanism further includes movable limiting blocks disposed on both sides of the pressing block, with the two limiting blocks moving closer to or further away from the pressing block.

[0007] Furthermore, the tea feeding mechanism further includes a hopper, the lower end of which has an opening with a swingable baffle, and a weighing sensor is provided at the bottom of the hopper. The hopper is located at the end of the feeding belt and above the U-shaped channel.

[0008] Furthermore, the stirring shaft includes a main shaft perpendicular to the conveying direction of the feeding belt, and the main shaft is provided with several actuating shafts.

[0009] Furthermore, a movable insert plate is provided at one end of the funnel near the tea pressing mechanism.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] This utility model discloses a brick tea pressing and forming equipment with a simple structure and ingenious design. It includes a workbench on which a tea feeding mechanism and a tea pressing mechanism are installed. The tea feeding mechanism includes a funnel, a feeding belt, and an intermittent pushing module. The funnel is located above the feeding belt, and a rotatable stirring shaft is located at the bottom of the funnel. The intermittent pushing module includes a U-shaped channel and a movable pushing plate. The U-shaped channel is located at the end of the feeding belt, and the pushing plate moves along the U-shaped channel. The tea pressing mechanism includes an electric cylinder, a through groove, and a bottom plate arranged from top to bottom. The piston rod of the electric cylinder is connected to a T-shaped pressing block. The bottom plate is movably located at the bottom of the through groove, and the U-shaped channel is located on one side of the opening at the upper end of the through groove. In operation, tea leaves are poured into the funnel. The rotating stirring shaft at the bottom of the funnel disperses the tangled tea leaves. The tea leaves fall onto the feeding belt and are conveyed to the U-shaped channel. The pusher plate pushes the tea leaves into the channel multiple times. Each push causes the tea leaves to enter the channel and the pressing block to press them down. Finally, the bottom plate is opened and the pressing block presses down, pushing the brick tea out of the channel. This invention disperses the tea leaves through the stirring shaft at the bottom of the funnel, and achieves a multi-layer pressing effect by repeatedly feeding the tea leaves into the channel and pressing them down. This makes it easy to break the tea leaves apart for drinking. The feeding belt automatically conveys the tea leaves, and the pusher plate automatically pushes the tea leaves into the channel, avoiding manual operation, resulting in a high degree of automation and improved production efficiency.

[0029] Example

[0030] Reference Figure 1-2 As shown, this utility model discloses a brick tea pressing and forming equipment, including a workbench 10, on which a tea feeding mechanism 20 and a tea pressing mechanism 30 are installed; the tea feeding mechanism 20 realizes automatic conveying of tea leaves while breaking them apart to prevent them from tangling together, and the tea pressing mechanism 30 realizes the pressing of brick tea. It has a high degree of automation and high production efficiency.

[0031] Reference Figure 3-5As shown, the tea feeding mechanism 20 includes a funnel 201, a feeding belt 202, and an intermittent pushing module. The funnel 201 is positioned above the feeding belt 202, and a rotatable stirring shaft 2011 is located at the bottom of the funnel 201. Specifically, the stirring shaft 2011 includes a main shaft perpendicular to the conveying direction of the feeding belt 202. The main shaft is equipped with several actuating shafts. A belt and a motor are installed on the bottom side of the funnel 201. The motor is connected to the main shaft via the belt, and the main shaft drives the rotation of the actuating shafts. Tea leaves are fed into the funnel 201, and the rotating actuating shafts disperse and separate the tea leaves to prevent them from tangling together. The dispersed tea leaves fall onto the feeding belt 202 and are then conveyed to the intermittent pushing module.

[0032] Reference Figure 3-5 As shown, the intermittent feeding module includes a U-shaped channel 204 and a movable pusher plate 2041. The U-shaped channel 204 is located at the end of the feeding belt 202, and the pusher plate 2041 moves along the U-shaped channel 204. Specifically, after the feeding belt 202 conveys tea leaves to the U-shaped channel 204, a pusher cylinder is installed behind the pusher plate 2041. The pusher cylinder controls the pusher plate 2041 to move along the U-shaped channel 204, pushing the tea leaves from the U-shaped channel 204 into the through groove 302, thus achieving automatic feeding of tea leaves, replacing manual feeding and improving automation. Furthermore, several steam holes are opened at the bottom of the U-shaped channel 204 for steam to soften the tea leaves falling into the U-shaped channel 204.

[0033] Furthermore, a movable insert plate 2012 is provided at one end of the funnel 201 near the tea pressing mechanism 30. The amount of tea leaves on the feeding belt 202 is conveyed to the U-shaped channel 204 by moving the insert plate 2012 up or down, thereby controlling the amount of tea leaves.

[0034] Reference Figure 3-5 As shown, the tea feeding mechanism 20 further includes a hopper 203. A swingable baffle 2031 is provided at the lower opening of the hopper 203. A weighing sensor (not shown in the figure) is provided at the bottom of the hopper 203. The hopper 203 is located at the end of the feeding belt 202 and above the U-shaped channel 204. In the initial state, the baffle 2031 covers the outlet of the hopper 203. The tea leaves on the feeding belt 202 are conveyed to the hopper 203 and the weight is displayed. When the weight reaches the preset value, the feeding belt 202 stops conveying. When the pusher plate 2041 pushes and returns to the initial position, the baffle 2031 is opened and the tea leaves fall into the U-shaped channel 204 to repeat the next action, realizing the effect of multiple automatic equal-quantity feeding, and achieving the effect of multi-layer equal-quantity pressing of tea leaves.

[0035] Reference Figure 6-7As shown, the tea pressing mechanism 30 includes an electric cylinder 301, a channel 302, and a base plate 303 arranged from top to bottom. The piston rod of the electric cylinder 301 is connected to a T-shaped pressing block 3031. The base plate 303 is movably disposed at the bottom of the channel 302, and a U-shaped channel 204 is disposed on one side of the upper opening of the channel 302. Specifically, in the initial state, the base plate 303 is extended to the bottom of the channel 302. When tea leaves are placed in the channel 302, the electric cylinder 301 pushes the pressing block 3031 into the channel 302 to press the tea leaves down. Each time tea leaves are placed, the pressing block is pushed down once, so that the tea leaves are compressed into brick tea. Finally, the base plate 303 is opened, and the pressing block 3031 is pushed out to discharge the brick tea from the channel.

[0036] Reference Figure 6-7 As shown, the tea pressing mechanism 30 further includes movable limiting blocks 304 disposed on both sides of the pressing block 3031. The two limiting blocks 304 move closer to or away from the pressing block 3031. Specifically, after the pressing block 3031 has been pressed down a preset number of times, before the pressing block 3031 is pressed down for the last time, the two limiting blocks 304 are controlled to move closer to the pressing block 3031, so that when the pressing block 3031 is pressed down, its horizontal ends abut against the limiting blocks 304, thereby limiting the maximum size of the pressing block 3031 inserted into the through groove 302, so that the size of the pressed brick tea is uniform.

[0037] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 7 As shown, a tea-filling mechanism 40 is further provided at the lower end of the through groove 302. The tea-filling mechanism 40 includes a support plate 401 and two side plates 402, with arc-shaped notches on the side plates 402. Specifically, while the tea is still being pressed in the through groove 302, the packaging bag is placed on the support plate 401 with its opening facing upwards. The pressed brick tea is then pushed and pushed into the packaging belt by the pressing block 3031, achieving an automatic bagging effect. The arc-shaped notches on the side plates 402 facilitate the removal of the packaging bag after the brick tea has been filled.

[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
