[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0022] Example

[0023] This embodiment describes a tea pressing device, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it includes a horizontally arranged base plate 1, and a frame 2 for placing tea leaves is provided on the top of the base plate 1. The frame 2 is connected vertically. The frame 2 is placed directly on the top of the base plate 1. When making tea leaves, the base plate 1 serves as the bottom of the tea leaf mold, and the frame 2 serves as the surrounding area of ​​the tea leaf mold. The frame 2 can be a square frame or a round frame. When the frame 2 is a square frame, it can produce block-shaped tea leaves. When the frame 2 is a round frame, it can produce round tea leaves.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, a support frame 3 is installed above the frame 2. The support frame 3 has a "door" shaped structure, and the bottom of the support frame 3 is fixed to the top of the base plate 1. An extrusion plate 5 for pressing tea leaves is installed inside the frame 2. A hydraulic cylinder 4 for driving the extrusion plate 5 to move and extrude tea leaves is installed between the extrusion plate 5 and the inner top of the support frame 3. This section of the design constitutes an extrusion assembly for pressing tea leaves into sheets inside the frame 2. The size of the extrusion plate 5 is designed according to the internal dimensions of the frame 2, making the size of the extrusion plate 5 slightly smaller than the internal dimensions of the frame 2. Therefore, when the extrusion plate 5 presses down and moves inside the frame 2, it presses down the tea leaves inside the frame 2 as comprehensively as possible. The rear cylinder cover of the hydraulic cylinder 4 is fixed to the inner top of the support frame 3, and its piston rod is fixed to the top of the extrusion plate 5. The hydraulic cylinder 4 is a known existing technology. A hydraulic actuator that converts hydraulic energy into mechanical energy and performs linear reciprocating motion (or oscillating motion); it has a simple structure and reliable operation; when used to achieve reciprocating motion, a speed reduction device can be eliminated, and there is no transmission gap, resulting in smooth movement. Therefore, the hydraulic cylinder 4 can drive the extrusion plate 5 to move up and down. In use, the hydraulic cylinder 4 is first used to drive the extrusion plate 5 upward, so that the extrusion plate 5 moves out of the frame 2 without blocking the opening at the top of the frame 2; then tea leaves are filled into the frame 2 from the opening at the top, and then the hydraulic cylinder 4 is opened, which drives the extrusion plate 5 downward. When the extrusion plate 5 moves downward, it can enter the frame 2 to extrude the tea leaves inside, thereby extruding the tea leaves into flakes during the extrusion process, which makes it easier to transport and carry the tea leaves in flake form.

[0025] In practice, the hydraulic cylinder 4 in the extrusion assembly can also be replaced by a pneumatic cylinder. A pneumatic cylinder is a cylindrical metal component that guides the piston to make linear reciprocating motion inside the cylinder. The installation method of the pneumatic cylinder is the same as that of the hydraulic cylinder 4. Therefore, when the pneumatic cylinder moves, it can also drive the extrusion plate 5 to move up and down.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a groove is provided at the bottom of the frame 2, and a limiting plate 6 is installed in the groove. The bottom of the limiting plate 6 is fixed to the top of the base plate 1. When the limiting plate 6 is placed in the groove, the side wall of the limiting plate 6 fits against the groove wall. Because the bottom of the limiting plate 6 is fixed to the top of the base plate 1, and the groove of the frame 2 fits on the limiting plate 6, the limiting plate 6 can limit the position of the frame 2, preventing the frame 2 from moving on the base plate 1. Therefore, when the pressing plate 5 is used to press down the tea leaves in the frame 2, the problem of the frame 2 shifting is avoided as much as possible.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a first electric push rod 7 is provided between the limiting plate 6 and the frame 2. A blind hole is provided on the top of the limiting plate 6 for inserting the first electric push rod 7. The base of the first electric push rod 7 is installed in the blind hole, and the push rod end of the first electric push rod 7 is installed in the groove of the frame 2. This section of the design constitutes a driving assembly for driving the frame 2 to move upwards. The first electric push rod 7 is a known technology. An electric push rod, also known as a linear actuator, is a novel linear actuator mainly composed of a motor, a push rod, and a control device. The first electric push rod 7 is electrically connected to a switch and a battery. The switch controls the start and stop of the first electric push rod 7, and the battery supplies power to the first electric push rod 7. The switch can be installed... On the base plate 1, the battery can be installed in the blind hole; therefore, when in use, the first electric push rod 7 is turned on, and the push rod of the first electric push rod 7 moves to drive the frame 2 to move. Therefore, when the first electric push rod 7 moves upward, it can push the frame 2 upward. After the frame 2 moves upward, because the frame 2 is connected from top to bottom, the tea pieces that have been pressed and formed inside can be directly exposed on the base plate 1, or fall directly from the bottom to the top of the base plate 1. Therefore, the tea pieces are not completely blocked by the frame 2, which makes it easier to take out the finished tea pieces. Compared with the existing technology of directly taking out the tea pieces from the frame 2, this design can more conveniently and easily take out the pressed and formed tea pieces.

[0028] In practice, the first electric push rod 7 in the drive assembly can also be replaced by a cylinder, so that the cylinder can also drive the frame 2 to move up and down.

[0029] like Figure 1As shown, there are two grooves, symmetrically located at the bottom of the frame 2. Each groove contains a limiting plate 6, which is fixed to the top of the base plate 1. Blind holes are provided on each limiting plate 6, and a first electric push rod 7 is installed in each blind hole. Therefore, the design of the two grooves allows for the installation of two limiting plates 6 and two first electric push rods 7 symmetrically. The design of the two limiting plates 6 provides more stable positioning of the frame 2. When installing the two first electric push rods 7, they can be connected by a coupling. The coupling synchronization mode is then set in the program, and the motion parameters (such as speed and position) of the two push rods are set. Control commands are then sent to the two push rods to achieve synchronous movement. In use, simultaneously opening both first electric push rods 7 allows them to push the frame 2 upwards simultaneously. Therefore, the above design allows for a more stable and easier lifting of the frame 2.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a fixing plate 9 is detachably connected to the bottom of the extrusion plate 5. Several extrusion blocks 10 are fixed to the bottom of the fixing plate 9, arranged at equal intervals from left to right. A support plate 11 is detachably fixed to the bottom of the frame 2. A through hole is provided on the support plate 11 corresponding to each extrusion block 10. The fixing plate 9 can be detachably connected to the extrusion plate 5 by screws. Both the fixing plate 9 and the extrusion plate 5 have threaded through holes. Screws are then screwed into these holes, facilitating the installation of the fixing plate 9 onto the extrusion plate 5 and subsequent removal of the fixing plate 9 from the extrusion plate 5. The support plate 11 can also be detachably connected to the inner bottom of the frame 2 by screws, thus facilitating its removal or installation on the frame 2. After installation, the bottom of the support plate 11 is aligned with the bottom of the frame 2. During use, when the hydraulic cylinder 4 drives the extrusion plate 5... When moving downwards, the extrusion block 10 also moves downwards. At this time, by placing tea leaves in the through-hole of the support plate 11, the extrusion block 10 moves downwards and extrudes the tea leaves into the through-hole, thus extruding the tea leaves into tea flakes. Because there are several through-holes and extrusion blocks 10, multiple tea flakes can be produced in batches. Furthermore, the through-holes can be of different sizes, allowing for the production of tea flakes of different sizes. Because the fixing plate 9 and the support plate 11 are detachably connected, when smaller tea flakes are needed, the support plate 11 and the fixing plate 9 are installed to press smaller tea flakes. When larger tea flakes are needed, the support plate 11 and the fixing plate 9 are removed, allowing the tea leaves to be directly extruded between the base plate 1 and the frame 2, thus pressing larger tea flakes. When it is necessary to remove the tea flakes from the through-hole of the support plate 11, it is done as follows: Figure 4In the middle position, the first electric push rod 7 drives the frame 2 to move upward, so that the support plate 11 also moves upward. At this time, the tea leaves in the through hole can fall out from the bottom of the through hole. If the tea leaves are stuck in the through hole, the hydraulic cylinder 4 can drive the extrusion plate 5 and the extrusion block 10 to move downward. The extrusion block 10 can directly squeeze out the tea leaves in the through hole, so the tea leaves can fall on the top of the base plate 1. Therefore, through the above operation, it is easy to take out the finished tea leaves for collection.

[0031] In practical use: When making large tea leaves, the tea leaves are placed directly into the frame 2, and then the hydraulic cylinder 4 drives the extrusion plate 5 to press down, extruding the tea leaves between the base plate 1 and the frame 2. After the tea leaves are formed, the first electric push rod 7 is used to move the frame 2 upward, lifting the frame 2 and separating it from the tea leaves. This prevents the tea leaves on the base plate 1 from being completely obstructed by the frame 2, making it easier to remove the tea leaves. When making small tea leaves, the support plate 11 is installed at the bottom of the frame 2. The fixing plate 9 is installed at the bottom of the extrusion plate 5, and the tea leaves are placed in the through hole of the support plate 11. Then the hydraulic cylinder 4 drives the extrusion plate 5 to move downward, which in turn drives the extrusion block 10 at the bottom of the fixing plate 9 to move downward. The extrusion block 10 moves downward to extrude the tea leaves in the through hole of the support plate 11 into shape. After shaping, the tea leaves are taken out in the above manner. In this process, the design of the frame 2 moving up and down by the first electric push rod 7 makes it easy to remove the bottom of the frame 2 from the base plate 1. Compared with the existing technology where the bottom of the frame 2 is in a closed state, this design makes it easier to take out the tea leaves that are pressed into a sheet shape.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] This embodiment further illustrates the technology, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a connecting plate 12 is provided on the rear side of the base plate 1, and the connecting plate 12 is fixed to the rear side wall of the base plate 1. A mounting plate 13 is fixed to the top of the connecting plate 12. A push plate 15 is provided on the rear side of the frame 2, and a second electric push rod 14 for pushing the push plate 15 back and forth is installed between the push plate 15 and the mounting plate 13. This section of the solution constitutes a pushing assembly for pushing tea leaves that have been squeezed into flakes out of the base plate 1. The front side wall of the connecting plate 12 is fixed to the rear side wall of the base plate 1, and the bottom of the mounting plate 13 is fixed to the top rear side of the connecting plate 12. The base of the second electric push rod 14 is installed on the front side wall of the mounting plate 13, and the push rod end of the second electric push rod 14 is fixed to the rear side wall of the push plate 15. The push rod 14 and the first electric push rod 7 are the same product, so they will not be described in detail. The battery and switch of the second electric push rod 14 can be installed on the connecting plate 12. When in use, after the first electric push rod 7 moves the frame 2 upward, the pressed tea leaves will fall to the top of the bottom plate 1 or be directly on the top of the bottom plate 1. At this time, because the frame 2 moves upward, the front and rear sides of the pressed tea leaves will not be blocked by the frame 2. Then the second electric push rod 14 can push the push plate 15 to move towards the rear of the bottom plate 1. When the push plate 15 contacts the top of the bottom plate 1 during the movement, it can push the tea leaves on the bottom plate 1 from back to front, which makes it easy to collect the pushed tea leaves directly.

[0034] In practice, the second electric push rod 14 in the push assembly can also be replaced by a cylinder, so that the cylinder can also drive the extrusion plate 5 to move back and forth.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a collection box 8 for collecting tea leaves that have been compressed into flakes is provided on the front side of the base plate 1. The height of the collection box 8 is lower than or equal to the height of the base plate 1. Therefore, when the push plate 15 pushes the tea leaves out from the front side of the base plate 1 from the rear, the design of the collection box 8 makes it easy to push the compressed tea leaves into the collection box 8, and finally, it is easy to move the tea leaves in the collection box 8 to the desired position. Therefore, in this operation, it is easy to take out and collect the compressed tea leaves.
