Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dark tea processing technology, and in particular to a dark tea pressing device. Background Technology

[0002] Dark tea is one of the six major categories of traditional Chinese tea and belongs to the post-fermented tea category. Dark tea uses relatively coarse and mature leaves as raw materials, and undergoes a longer fermentation process during production, resulting in a finished tea with a black or dark brown appearance, hence its name. When making dark tea cakes, the tea leaves need to be pressed, requiring the use of specialized pressing equipment.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN222442996U discloses a black tea pressing device. This device inserts a pressing component into the inside of a U-shaped collection box, where excess tea leaves fall into a collection trough for collection, thus avoiding waste during the pressing process. Regarding the aforementioned technology, the inventors believe the following drawbacks exist:

[0004] In actual use, the tea leaves that fall into the collection tank and are not removed will be exposed to air for a long time, causing dust to easily adhere to the surface of the dark tea leaves, which will affect the subsequent processing quality of the dark tea leaves. Therefore, we provide a dark tea pressing device. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problem in the background art where collected tea leaves easily accumulate dust after prolonged contact with air, this utility model provides a black tea pressing device.

[0006] This utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: a black tea pressing device, including a base, a shaking component and a collecting component, a bracket is fixedly connected to the base, an electric push rod is fixedly connected to the bracket, a pressure plate is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod, a mold is provided on the top of the base, and a groove is also provided on the top of the base.

[0007] The shaking assembly includes two sets of slide rods symmetrically fixed to the top of the base via connecting seats. A slider is slidably connected to the outside of the slide rod and the slider is fixedly connected to the mold. A spring is also sleeved on the outside of the slide rod. A roller is rotatably connected to one side of the mold via a connecting frame. A motor is fixedly connected to the top of the base via a fixing frame. A cam is coaxially fixedly connected to the end of the rotor of the motor.

[0008] The collecting assembly includes two sets of movable plates symmetrically rotatably connected inside the groove via a rotating shaft. One end of the rotating shaft is coaxially fixedly connected to a gear. Two sets of racks are symmetrically movably connected to the base, and the racks are meshed with the gears on the same side. Two sets of connecting rods are symmetrically fixedly connected to one side of the mold. The connecting rods and the racks on the same side are symmetrically hinged to a connecting rod 1 via a hinge.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above solution, the two ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the connecting seat and the slider, respectively.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above solution, a T-shaped limiting block is fixedly connected to the rack, and a T-shaped limiting groove is symmetrically fixedly connected to the base, with the T-shaped limiting groove and the T-shaped limiting block on the same side being slidably connected.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above solution, a collection drawer is movably connected inside the groove.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above solution, the mold is internally connected to a base plate, and the bottom of the mold cavity is rotatably connected to a two-way lead screw. Both sides of the two-way lead screw are threaded to movable plates, and the movable plates and the base plate are symmetrically hinged to each other by a connecting rod.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above solution, two sets of guide rods are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the mold, and the guide rods are simultaneously slidably connected to the two sets of moving plates.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above solution, both the slide bar and the slider are provided with pin holes, and a pin is inserted into the inside of the pin holes.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. This utility model uses a motor to drive a cam to rotate. When the cam contacts the roller, as the cam continues to rotate, it can squeeze the roller. Under the sliding cooperation between the slide rod and the slider, the mold will move to the other side of the slide rod and compress the spring. When the cam rotates away from the roller, the spring's own rebound will cause the mold to automatically return to its original position. This process is repeated, thereby achieving the purpose of shaking the mold. This allows the black tea leaves inside the mold to be evenly distributed, and also allows the black tea leaves to be spread out to avoid the phenomenon of protruding. This effectively ensures the pressing quality of the black tea leaves and is highly practical.

[0017] 2. During the reciprocating movement of the mold, this utility model can also drive the connecting rod to move together. Utilizing the hinged action between the connecting rod and the rack and connecting rod, and the sliding action between the T-shaped limiting block and the T-shaped limiting groove, the rack can also be driven to move back and forth. Under the meshing action between the rack and the gear, the gear can be driven to rotate alternately in both directions. This causes the two sets of movable plates to simultaneously deflect downwards to open the groove to collect the fallen black tea leaves, and simultaneously deflect upwards to close the groove to isolate dust in the air. This effectively avoids the problem of dust easily adhering to the collected tea leaves after prolonged contact with air, further ensuring the pressing quality of the black tea leaves.

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] Please combine Figure 1-4 This embodiment of a black tea pressing device includes a base 1, a bracket fixedly connected to the base 1, an electric push rod 2 fixedly connected to the bracket, a pressure plate 3 fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 2, a mold 4 provided on the top of the base 1, and a groove also provided on the top of the base 1.

[0027] A shaking component for evenly distributing tea leaves inside the mold 4 includes two sets of slide rods 101 symmetrically fixed to the top of the base 1 via connecting seats. A slider 102 is slidably connected to the outside of the slide rods 101 and is fixedly connected to the mold 4. A spring 103 is also sleeved on the outside of the slide rods 101. The two ends of the spring 103 are fixedly connected to the connecting seat and the slider 102 respectively. A roller 104 is rotatably connected to one side of the mold 4 via a connecting frame. A motor is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1 via a fixing frame. A cam 105 is coaxially fixedly connected to the end of the motor rotor. Pin holes are provided on both the slide rods 101 and the slider 102. A pin is inserted into the pin hole to limit and fix the mold 4, preventing the mold 4 from moving during pressing.

[0028] A collection component for dust-proof tea collection includes two sets of movable plates 201 symmetrically connected to the inside of a groove via a rotating shaft. A gear 202 is coaxially fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft. Two sets of racks 203 are symmetrically and movably connected to the base 1, and the racks 203 are meshed with the gears 202 on the same side. Two sets of connecting rods 204 are symmetrically and fixedly connected to one side of the mold 4. A connecting rod 205 is symmetrically hinged to the racks 203 on the same side via a hinge. A T-shaped limiting block 5 is fixedly connected to the racks 203. A T-shaped limiting groove is symmetrically and fixedly connected to the base 1, and the T-shaped limiting groove is slidably connected to the T-shaped limiting block 5 on the same side, which can guide the movement of the racks 203. A collection drawer 6 is movably connected inside the groove, which facilitates the removal of the collected tea leaves at once.

[0029] The implementation principle of the black tea pressing device in this application embodiment is as follows: First, black tea leaves are added to the mold 4. During the addition process, some black tea leaves inevitably fall onto the movable plate 201. Then, the motor is started, which drives the cam 105 to rotate. When the cam 105 contacts the roller 104, as the cam 105 continues to rotate, it can squeeze the roller 104. Under the sliding cooperation between the slide rod 101 and the slider 102, the mold 4 will move to the other side of the slide rod 101 and compress the spring. 103. When the cam 105 rotates away from the roller 104, the spring 103's own rebound action causes the mold 4 to automatically return to its original position. This process repeats, achieving the purpose of shaking the mold 4. This ensures that the black tea leaves inside the mold 4 are evenly distributed and spread out to prevent them from protruding, effectively guaranteeing the pressing quality of the black tea leaves. During the shaking process, excess tea leaves will fall onto the movable plate 201. At the same time, the back-and-forth movement of the mold 4 also drives the connecting rod 204. The movement is achieved through the hinged connection between the connecting rod 204 and the rack 203 and the connecting rod 205, and the sliding connection between the T-shaped limiting block 5 and the T-shaped limiting groove. This allows the rack 203 to move back and forth. The meshing between the rack 203 and the gear 202 causes the gear 202 to rotate alternately in both directions. This causes the two sets of movable plates 201 to simultaneously deflect downwards to open the groove and collect the fallen black tea leaves, and simultaneously deflect upwards to close the groove and prevent dust from entering the air. The dust is effectively avoided because the collected tea leaves are easily covered with dust after prolonged contact with air. When the motor is turned off, the mold 4 is directly below the pressure plate 3. At the same time, the two sets of movable plates 201 completely close the groove. Then, the pin is inserted into the pin hole, and then the electric push rod 2 is activated. The electric push rod 2 can push the pressure plate 3 down to press the tea leaves inside the mold 4. The two sets of sliding rods 101 can fully support the mold 4. Finally, the pressed tea cake is taken out and the collection drawer 6 is pulled out of the groove.

[0030] Example 2:

[0031] This embodiment, based on embodiment 1, further improves upon the following: a base plate 7 is movably connected inside the mold 4; a bidirectional lead screw 8 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the mold 4; movable plates 9 are threadedly connected to both sides of the bidirectional lead screw 8; connecting rods 10 are symmetrically hinged between the movable plates 9 and the base plate 7 via hinges; two sets of guide rods 11 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the mold 4, and the guide rods 11 are simultaneously slidably connected to the two sets of movable plates 9, which can guide the movement of the movable plates 9. By rotating the bidirectional lead screw 8, the two sets of movable plates 9 threadedly connected to it can be driven to move towards each other. With the hinge action between the movable plates 9, the base plate 7, and the connecting rods 10, the base plate 7 can be pushed up, thereby pushing the pressed tea cake out of the mold 4, making it easier to remove the tea cake.

[0032] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
