Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Tea cakes refer to loose tea that has been pressed into various shapes using specific processes. Once formed, they are easy to store, making them a traditional method of tea storage. The production of tea cakes typically involves two steps: drying and pressing. Drying involves processing fresh tea leaves through a series of steps such as fixation, rolling, and fermentation to form the initial tea product. Pressing then uses different methods to press the pre-processed tea leaves into a semi-finished product, which is then ready for packaging. Common tea pressing devices often rely on manual operation. Workers need to evenly place the collected and pre-processed tea leaves into a container. Then, driven by a mechanical or hydraulic system, the pressing block slowly descends, evenly compressing the tea leaves into a compact tea cake.

[0003] However, in traditional flattening devices, after the tea cakes are made, they are placed directly inside the container. Due to the density of the tea cakes, it is difficult for workers to remove them from the container. This process is not only inefficient, but improper handling can also damage the surface of the tea cakes, affecting their appearance and market value. Therefore, a new method is proposed...

[0004] A tea cake flattening device was developed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model proposes a tea cake flattening device. Through a rotatable barrel bottom plate, the tea cake can be pressed efficiently and conveniently, and the finished tea cake can be easily removed while avoiding damage to the tea cake during the removal process.

[0006] This utility model provides a tea cake flattening device, including a support plate. The side of the support plate is connected to a base plate via multiple support feet. A flattening barrel runs through the middle of the support plate. Sliding rods are provided on both sides of the support plate and on both sides of the flattening barrel. A first lifting assembly is provided at the top of the sliding rods on both sides. The lifting end of the first lifting assembly is connected to the pressing block via a first connecting plate. The device also includes a barrel bottom plate, which is located at the bottom of the flattening barrel. The bottom of the barrel bottom plate is connected to a second connecting plate via a second lifting assembly. A drive motor is also provided on the upper surface of the support plate. The telescopic shaft of the drive motor runs through the support plate and is connected to the second connecting plate. Limiting holes are provided on both sides of the side wall of the barrel bottom plate. Limiting assemblies adapted to the limiting holes are provided on both sides of the bottom of the support plate. The limiting ends of the limiting assemblies on both sides are inserted into the limiting holes on both sides.

[0007] Preferably, the first lifting assembly includes a mounting plate and a first electric push rod. The tops of the slide rods on both sides are connected to the mounting plate. The first electric push rod is located on the top of the mounting plate, and the telescopic shaft of the first electric push rod passes through the mounting plate and is connected to the first connecting plate.

[0008] Preferably, it also includes a lifting plate, with both sides of the first connecting plate being connected to the lifting plate, and the sliding rods on both sides sliding through the lifting plates on both sides.

[0009] Preferably, the second lifting assembly includes a second electric push rod and a fixed plate. The bottom of the barrel bottom plate is connected to the fixed plate via a plurality of spaced-apart second electric push rods, and the bottom of the fixed plate is connected to the second connecting plate.

[0010] Preferably, the limiting component includes a side plate, a third electric push rod, and a limiting block. The side plate is located at the bottom of the support plate, and the side of the side plate facing the bottom plate of the barrel is connected to the limiting block through the third electric push rod. The limiting block is inserted into the limiting hole that is adapted to it.

[0011] Preferably, the support leg is L-shaped.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects: After the tea cake is pressed, the third electric push rods on both sides retract, thereby driving the limiting block connected to it to be pulled out from the limiting hole, so that it can release the limiting of the bottom plate of the barrel. At this time, multiple second electric push rods are activated to lower the bottom plate of the barrel. While the bottom plate of the barrel is lowering, it can drive the tea cake inside the flattening barrel to move downward. Then, the drive motor is activated. The drive motor can drive the bottom plate of the barrel to rotate through the second connecting plate, the fixing plate and the second electric push rod, so that the pressing of the tea cake can be completed efficiently and conveniently, and the finished tea cake can be easily removed, while avoiding damage to the tea cake during the removal process.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0020] As shown in Figures 1-3, the present invention proposes a tea cake flattening device, including a support plate 19. The side of the support plate 19 is connected to a base plate 14 via multiple support feet 13. A flattening barrel 5 passes through the middle of the support plate 19. The inner end face of the flattening barrel 5 is smooth. Slide rods 4 are provided on both sides of the support plate 19 and on the upper end of the support plate 19. A first lifting assembly is provided at the top of the slide rods 4. The lifting end of the first lifting assembly is connected to a pressing block 10 via a first connecting plate 9. The outer diameter of the pressing block 10 is adapted to the inner diameter of the flattening barrel 5. The device also includes a barrel bottom plate 15, which is located at the bottom of the flattening barrel 5. The bottom of the barrel bottom plate 15 is connected to a second connecting plate 12 via a second lifting assembly. A drive motor 11 is also provided on the upper end face of the support plate 19. The telescopic shaft of the drive motor 11 passes through the support plate 19 and is connected to the second connecting plate 12. Limiting holes 16 are provided on both sides of the sidewall, and limiting components that are adapted to the limiting holes 16 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the support plate 19. The limiting ends of the limiting components on both sides are inserted into the limiting holes 16 on both sides.

[0021] In this invention, during use, the collected and preliminarily processed tea leaves are evenly placed into the pressing barrel 5. Then, the first lifting assembly is activated, and the pressing block 10 is lowered into the pressing barrel 5 via the first connecting plate 9, thus evenly compressing the tea leaves into a compact tea cake. When the compacted tea cake needs to be removed, the second lifting assembly is activated, which lowers the barrel bottom plate 15. The tea cake inside the pressing barrel 5 falls out from the bottom as the barrel bottom plate 15 descends. Then, the limiting assemblies on both sides are activated, causing the limiting ends of the limiting assemblies to be pulled out from the limiting holes 16 on both sides. At this time, the drive motor 11 is activated, and the drive motor 11, through the second connecting plate 12 and the second lifting assembly, rotates the barrel bottom plate 15 180°, making it easier for workers to remove the tea cake from the pressing barrel 5. When the barrel bottom plate 15 is removed... When the tea cake is removed, the drive motor 11 is restarted to rotate the second connecting plate 12 180°. Then, the second lifting assembly lifts the bottom plate 15 of the barrel, so that the bottom plate 15 contacts the bottom of the pressing barrel 5. Then, the limiting assemblies on both sides are activated. The limiting ends of the limiting assemblies on both sides can be inserted into the limiting holes 16 on both sides to ensure the stability of pressing the tea cake.

[0022] In an optional embodiment, the first lifting assembly includes a mounting plate 2 and a first electric push rod 1. The tops of the side slide rods 4 are connected to the mounting plate 2. The first electric push rod 1 is located on the top of the mounting plate 2. The telescopic shaft of the first electric push rod 1 passes through the mounting plate 2 and is connected to the first connecting plate 9.

[0023] It should be noted that when the first electric push rod 1 is activated, the first electric push rod 1 can drive the first connecting plate 9 to rise and fall. When the first connecting plate 9 rises and falls, it can drive the pressing block 10 to rise and fall accordingly. When the pressing block 10 descends into the interior of the pressing barrel 5, the tea leaves can be pressed into tea cakes.

[0024] In an optional embodiment, a lifting plate 3 is also included, with both sides of the first connecting plate 9 connected to the lifting plate 3 respectively, and the sliding rods 4 on both sides sliding through the lifting plates 3 respectively.

[0025] It should be noted that when the first connecting plate 9 is raised or lowered, the first connecting plate 9 can drive the lifting plate 3 to rise or fall on the slide rod 4, ensuring the stability of the first connecting plate 9 during the raising and lowering process.

[0026] In an optional embodiment, the second lifting assembly includes a second electric push rod 6 and a fixed plate 8. The bottom of the barrel bottom plate 15 is connected to the fixed plate 8 via a plurality of spaced second electric push rods 6. The bottom of the fixed plate 8 is connected to the second connecting plate 12.

[0027] It should be noted that multiple second electric push rods 6 are activated, which can drive the bottom plate 15 of the barrel to rise and fall.

[0028] In an optional embodiment, the limiting assembly includes a side plate 7, a third electric push rod 17, and a limiting block 18. The side plate 7 is located at the bottom of the support plate 19. The side of the side plate 7 facing the bottom plate 15 is connected to the limiting block 18 via the third electric push rod 17. The limiting block 18 is inserted into a limiting hole 16 that is adapted to it.

[0029] It should be noted that the side plate 7 serves to mount the third electric push rod 17. Activating the third electric push rod 17 causes the limiting block 18 to move up and down. When pressing the tea cake, the third electric push rod 17 extends, allowing the limiting block 18 to be inserted into the limiting hole 16, ensuring the stability of the bottom plate 15. When removing the tea cake, the third electric push rod 17 shortens, allowing the limiting block 18 to be removed from the limiting hole 16, preventing it from limiting the bottom plate 15.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, the support foot 13 is L-shaped.

[0031] It should be noted that this ensures the stability of the support plate 19 during installation and also prevents the fixing plate 8 from contacting the support foot 13 during rotation.

[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
