[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Example 1, by Figure 1 The present invention relates to a metering device for tea packaging, comprising a base 1, a feeding hopper 4 above the base 1, two upright plates 5 symmetrically fixedly connected between the feeding hopper 4 and the base 1, a metering mechanism 2 between the base 1 and the feeding hopper 4, and a driving mechanism 3 on the metering mechanism 2.

[0025] Specifically, by Figure 2-4 The measuring mechanism 2 includes a U-shaped frame 201 fixed to the top of the base 1. A controller 2012 is provided on the outside of the U-shaped frame 201. A weighing platform 2010 is movably installed inside the U-shaped frame 201. The top surface of the weighing platform 2010 is inclined, while the bottom surface of the weighing platform 2010 is horizontal. A weighing sensor 2011 is provided between the bottom of the weighing platform 2010 and the top of the base 1. A baffle 202 is provided on the outside of the U-shaped frame 201 and is located at the opening of the U-shaped frame 201. A connecting frame 204 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the feed hopper 4, and a discharge hopper 205 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting frame 204. The bottom of 205 extends into the interior of the U-shaped frame 201 and is located above the weighing platform 2010. An inclined plate 206 is movably provided inside the connecting frame 204. A slide rod 207 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting frame 204. A slide plate 203 is movably sleeved on the outside of the slide rod 207. One side of the inclined plate 206 extends to the outside of the connecting frame 204 and is fixedly connected to the slide plate 203. A support seat 208 is fixedly sleeved on the middle of the outside of the slide rod 207. A cylinder 209 is fixedly installed between the support seat 208 and the slide plate 203. The weighing sensor 2011 is electrically connected to the controller 2012. The controller 2012 is electrically connected to the cylinder 209.

[0026] In operation, the tea leaves first enter the feed hopper 4, then pass through the connecting frame 204 and the discharge hopper 205 onto the weighing platform 2010, where they are weighed by the weighing sensor 2011. When the weighing sensor 2011 detects that the weight of the tea leaves has reached the set value, it transmits an electrical signal to the controller 2012. The controller 2012 then controls the cylinder 209 to start, causing the slide plate 203 to slide along the slide rod 207 and move the inclined plate 206 to block the addition of tea leaves, thus stopping the addition of tea leaves. Finally, the tea leaves are quickly and accurately measured.

[0027] Specifically, by Figure 5 The drive mechanism 3 includes a U-shaped rod 301 fixed to the bottom of the base 1. A lifting plate 304 is movably sleeved on the outer side of the U-shaped rod 301. A connecting frame 307 is fixedly connected between the lifting plate 304 and the baffle 202. Two limiting rings 305 are symmetrically fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the U-shaped rod 301. The top of the lifting plate 304 is in contact with the bottom of the two limiting rings 305. The limiting rings 305 are used to limit the lifting plate 304, thereby limiting the position of the baffle 202. A sleeve block 302 is fixedly sleeved on the middle of the outer side of the U-shaped rod 301. A screw 303 is rotatably connected to the top of the sleeve block 302. A drive motor 306 is fixedly connected to the top of the screw 303. The drive motor 306 is fixedly fixed to the bottom of the base 1. The controller 2012 is electrically connected to the drive motor 306.

[0028] In operation, when the weighing sensor 2011 detects that the weight of the tea leaves has reached the set value, it transmits an electrical signal to the controller 2012. The controller 2012 then controls the drive motor 306 to start, which drives the screw 303 to rotate and causes the lifting plate 304 to slide down along the U-shaped rod 301. The connecting frame 307 then drives the baffle 202 to move down, so that the baffle 202 is removed from the opening on the U-shaped frame 201. Finally, the measured tea leaves are discharged under the action of gravity.
