The guide cover guides the feeding of tea leaves, and the movement of the filter cover causes the baffle strip to move and the conical block to slide relative to it, thereby causing the guide cover to vibrate, making the tea leaves inside the guide cover flow more smoothly. Furthermore, the elastic cover connects the guide cover and the filter cover, preventing tea leaves from leaking out from the outside of the filter cover.
[0011] Preferably, a dovetail strip is fixedly connected to the surface of the support strip, and the dovetail strip is slidably connected to the filter cover. The dovetail strip guides the movement of the support strip.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. This utility model uses a motor to drive a cam to rotate, which in turn causes the top block to rotate and strike the baffle. This causes the baffle to move the filter cover back and forth in the box, generating vibration. This makes it easier to screen and remove impurities from the tea leaves inside the filter cover. At the same time, the tea leaves inside the filter cover can be discharged from the feed chute.
[0014] 2. This utility model guides the feeding of tea leaves through a guide cover, and the movement of the filter cover causes the baffle to move and the conical block to slide relative to each other, thereby causing the guide cover to vibrate, making the tea leaves inside the guide cover flow more smoothly.

[0022] Please see Figures 2-3The vibration mechanism 5 includes a baffle 51. The lower end of the filter cover 2 is fixedly connected to the baffle 51. The inside of the housing 1 is fixedly connected to a slide bar 52, which is slidably connected to the baffle 51. A motor 53 is fixedly installed in the middle of the lower end of the support plate 4. The shaft of the motor 53 passes through the support plate 4 and is rotatably connected to it. The upper end of the shaft of the motor 53 is fixedly connected to a cam 54. A top block 55 is slidably connected inside the cam 54. A sliding pin 56 is fixedly connected to the surface of the top block 55, which is slidably connected to the cam 54. By setting the sliding pin 56, the top block 55 is slidably connected to the cam 54. The moving guide of 5 is that the cam 54 is equipped with a spring 57 inside. One end of the spring 57 is fixedly connected to the cam 54, and the other end of the spring 57 is fixedly connected to the top block 55. By setting the spring 57, the top block 55 can be easily reset. The cam 54 is driven to rotate by the motor 53, which causes the top block 55 to rotate and hit the baffle 51. This causes the baffle 51 to drive the filter cover 2 to move back and forth in the box 1 and generate vibration, which makes it easier to screen and remove impurities in the tea leaves in the filter cover 2. At the same time, the tea leaves in the filter cover 2 can be discharged from the guide trough 9.
[0023] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 The protective mechanism 8 includes an elastic cover 81. The lower outer side of the guide cover 6 is fixedly connected to the elastic cover 81. The lower end of the elastic cover 81 is fixedly connected to the support bar 82. The support bar 82 and the filter cover 2 are slidably connected. The surface of the support bar 82 is fixedly connected to the dovetail bar 83. The dovetail bar 83 and the filter cover 2 are slidably connected. By setting the dovetail bar 83, the movement of the support bar 82 is guided. The inside of the filter cover 2 is fixedly connected to the baffle bar 84. The lower end of the guide cover 6 is fixedly connected to the cone block 85. The cone block 85 and the baffle bar 84 are in contact. The guide cover 6 guides the feeding of tea leaves. The movement of the filter cover 2 drives the movement of the baffle bar 84 and the relative sliding of the cone block 85, thereby causing the guide cover 6 to vibrate, making the tea leaves in the guide cover 6 flow more smoothly. The elastic cover 81 connects the guide cover 6 and the filter cover 2, thereby preventing the tea leaves from leaking from the outside of the filter cover 2.
[0024] The specific implementation process of this utility model is as follows: When in use, tea leaves are poured into the guide cover 6, and the tea leaves in the guide cover 6 enter the filter cover 2. The motor 53 is started, and the motor 53 drives the cam 54 to rotate. The rotation of the cam 54 drives the top block 55 to move. The top block 55 moves and contacts the baffle 51, which in turn causes the baffle 51 to move the filter cover 2. The motor 53 drives the cam 54 to rotate, which in turn causes the top block 55 to rotate and hit the baffle 51, which in turn causes the baffle 51 to move the filter cover 2 back and forth in the box 1 to generate vibration, which makes it easier to screen and remove impurities in the tea leaves in the filter cover 2. At the same time, the tea leaves in the filter cover 2 can be discharged from the guide trough 9. The filter cover 2 drives the baffle 84 to move. The baffle 84 moves and slides relative to the conical block 85, which in turn causes the guide cover 6 to vibrate, making the tea leaves in the guide cover 6 to flow more smoothly. The elastic cover 81 connects the guide cover 6 and the filter cover 2, which prevents the tea leaves from leaking from the outside of the filter cover 2.
