[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing technology, and in particular to a material collection mechanism for black tea processing. Background Technology

[0002] To save storage space and promote the aging of tea, black tea needs to be pressed into tea cakes using a pressing device during the processing. After pressing, the formed tea cakes need to be manually removed and collected.

[0003] When manually handling shaped tea cakes, the operator's hands are placed under the pressure plate in the pressing device, which poses a certain safety hazard. In addition, manually collecting tea cakes increases the operator's workload. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the following shortcomings in the prior art: when manually picking up shaped tea cakes, the operator's hands will be placed under the pressure plate in the pressing device, which poses a certain safety hazard. In addition, manually collecting tea cakes will increase the labor burden of the operator. Therefore, a material collection mechanism for black tea processing is proposed.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A material collection mechanism for black tea processing includes a platform. A collection groove is formed on the surface of the platform. A circular opening communicating with the collection groove is formed on the upper surface of the platform. An annular mold is fixedly installed in the circular opening. Sliding openings are formed on both the left and right walls of the collection groove. Insert rods are slidably inserted into the sliding openings. Placement plates are fixedly installed at the ends of the two insert rods that are close to each other. An installation block is fixedly installed at the end of the insert rod that is located outside the platform. The installation block is connected to the platform through a telescopic component.

[0007] An L-shaped plate is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the platform, and a hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the L-shaped plate. The drive shaft of the hydraulic cylinder passes through the L-shaped plate and is fixedly installed with a pressing plate. A pressing component is provided on the drive shaft of the hydraulic cylinder. The pressing component is used to control the two insertion rods to move away from each other.

[0008] Preferably, the pressing assembly includes a T-shaped rod fixedly sleeved on the hydraulic cylinder drive shaft and two abutment rods symmetrically fixedly installed on the surface of the T-shaped rod. An inclined plate is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the mounting block. The surface of the inclined plate has an opening, and the two openings correspond to the positions of the two abutment rods respectively. A rotating opening is formed in the wall of the opening. A rotating shaft is rotatably installed in the rotating opening. A rotating plate is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft. A placement block is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating shaft. The placement block is connected to the inclined plate through an elastic component. The rotating plate has its rotation direction restricted by a limiting component.

[0009] Preferably, the telescopic component includes a telescopic spring sleeved on the insert rod, with both ends of the telescopic spring fixedly connected to the mounting block and the platform, respectively.

[0010] Preferably, the elastic component includes a torsion spring sleeved on the rotating shaft, with both ends of the torsion spring fixedly connected to the mounting block and the inclined plate, respectively.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] The terms used in this utility model, such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle" and "one", are only for clarity of description and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered as within the scope of implementation of this utility model.

[0023] Reference Figures 1-4 A material collection mechanism for black tea processing includes a platform 1. A collection groove 2 is provided on the surface of the platform 1. A circular opening communicating with the collection groove 2 is provided on the upper surface of the platform 1. An annular mold 3 is fixedly installed in the circular opening. Sliding openings are provided on the left and right walls of the collection groove 2. Insert rods 4 are slidably inserted into the sliding openings. Placement plates 5 are fixedly installed at the ends of the two insert rods 4 that are close to each other. An installation block is fixedly installed at the end of the insert rod 4 that is located outside. The installation block is connected to the platform 1 through a telescopic component. The telescopic component includes a telescopic spring 14 sleeved on the insert rod 4. The two ends of the telescopic spring 14 are fixedly connected to the installation block and the platform 1, respectively.

[0024] An L-shaped plate is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the platform 1. A hydraulic cylinder 6 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the L-shaped plate. The drive shaft of the hydraulic cylinder 6 passes through the L-shaped plate and a pressing plate 7 is fixedly installed thereon. A pressing assembly is provided on the drive shaft of the hydraulic cylinder 6. The pressing assembly is used to control the two insert rods 4 to move away from each other. The pressing assembly includes a T-shaped rod 8 fixedly sleeved on the drive shaft of the hydraulic cylinder 6 and two symmetrically fixed abutting rods 9 fixedly installed on the surface of the T-shaped rod 8. An inclined plate 10 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the mounting block. An opening 11 is provided on the surface of the inclined plate 10. The two openings 11 correspond to the positions of the two abutting rods 9 respectively. A rotating opening is provided on the wall of the opening 11. The rotating port has a rotating shaft 12 rotatably mounted inside it. A rotating plate 13 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 12. A mounting block is fixedly mounted on one end of the rotating shaft 12. The mounting block is connected to the inclined plate 10 through an elastic component. The elastic component includes a torsion spring 15 sleeved on the rotating shaft 12. The two ends of the torsion spring 15 are fixedly connected to the mounting block and the inclined plate 10, respectively. The rotating plate 13 restricts the rotation direction through a limiting component. The limiting component includes a limiting block 16 fixedly mounted on the surface of the rotating plate 13. The lower surface of the inclined plate 10 has a limiting opening 17 that communicates with the through opening 11. The upper surface of the limiting block 16 abuts against the opening wall of the limiting opening 17.

[0025] When the pressing plate 7 is at its highest point, the two placement plates 5 will abut against each other at their closest points, thus sealing the bottom of the mold 3. At the same time, the two abutment rods 9 will correspond to the positions of the two openings 11 respectively. Then, the loose black tea to be pressed is put into the mold 3 and placed on the two placement plates 5. At this time, the hydraulic cylinder 6 is activated to control the pressing plate 7 to move down and press the loose tea in the mold 3. During this process, the two abutment rods 9 will also move down together. The lower surfaces of the two abutment rods 9 will abut against the upper surfaces of the two rotating plates 13 respectively. Under the action of the pressure, the end of the rotating plate 13 away from the rotating shaft 12 will rotate downward until the abutment rods 9 move down to no longer contact the rotating plate 13. At this time, the rotating plate 13 will quickly rotate and reset under the elastic potential energy of the torsion spring 15.

[0026] Then, when the pressing plate 7 completes the pressing and shaping of the loose tea in the mold 3, and the hydraulic cylinder 6 moves the placement plate 5 upward, the upper surfaces of the two abutment rods 9 will abut against the lower surfaces of the two rotating plates 13 respectively. Since the end of the rotating plate 13 away from the rotating shaft 12 cannot rotate upward under the restriction of the limiting block 16 and the limiting opening 17, the abutment rods 9 will slide into contact with the lower surface of the rotating plate 13 during the upward movement, and then slide into contact with the lower surface of the inclined plate 10. Under the pressure of the inclined plate, the two insert rods 4 will separate. Do not let the two placement plates 5 move away from each other. When the two placement plates 5 no longer cover the bottom opening of the mold 3, the tea cake inside the mold 3 will fall into the collection trough 2 under its own weight. Then, as the two abutment rods 9 move upward, when the two abutment rods 9 move upward and no longer contact the two inclined plates 10, the two insertion rods 4 and the two placement plates 5 will quickly move back to their original positions under the elastic potential energy of the two extension springs 14. The two placement plates 5 will abut against each other again, thereby sealing the bottom of the mold 3, which is convenient for placing loose tea to be processed later.

[0027] A guide block 18 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the collection tank 2. The longitudinal section of the guide block 18 is a right trapezoid.

[0028] When the tea cake falls from the mold 3 under its own weight, it will land on the guide block 18 and then slide down the slope of the guide block 18 to the bottom of the collection tank 2, instead of falling directly to the bottom of the collection tank 2. This avoids the possibility that a direct fall could cause the tea cake to collide with the bottom of the collection tank 2 with a large impact force, resulting in damage such as breakage, deformation or surface cracks, which would affect the appearance and quality of the tea cake.

[0029] Hollow rods 19 are symmetrically and vertically fixedly installed on the upper surface of the platform 1. Multiple spring rods 20 are fixedly installed on the surface of the hollow rods 19. An impact ball 21 is fixedly installed at one end of the spring rod 20. The inner wall of the hollow rod 19 is threaded, and a threaded rod 22 is installed on the inner thread of the hollow rod 19. A horizontal plate 23 is fixedly sleeved on the drive shaft of the hydraulic cylinder 6. The top ends of the two threaded rods 22 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the horizontal plate 23. The mold 3 is located on the movement path of the multiple impact balls 21.

[0030] When the pressing plate 7 moves up and down, both threaded rods 22 move together with the horizontal plate 23 and the pressing plate 7. Since the threaded rods 22 cannot rotate, the hollow rod 19 will rotate with multiple spring rods 20 and multiple impact balls 21 under the cooperation of the threads. During the rotation, the multiple impact balls 21 will intermittently collide with the mold 3. When the impact balls 21 collide with the mold 3, with the rotation of the hollow rod 19 and the elastic potential energy of the spring rods 20 themselves, the spring rods 20 will gradually contract and then gradually stretch.

[0031] During the pressing process, loose tea leaves may stick to the inner wall of mold 3 due to pressure and friction. The impact force of impact ball 21 can loosen the tea cake stuck to the side wall, making it easier for the tea cake to fall off smoothly, reducing tea cake residue, improving the integrity and quality of the tea cake. In addition, the intermittent impact of impact ball 21 on the side wall of mold 3 can cause mold 3 to produce slight vibrations. This vibration can help the tea cake separate from the inner wall of mold 3. Especially for tea cakes with complex shapes or tight pressing, it helps them to be easily removed from mold 3, reducing demolding difficulty and improving production efficiency.

[0032] In this invention, after the pressing plate 7 completes the pressing and shaping of the loose tea in the mold 3 and moves upward, the two placement plates 5 will move away from each other, so that the pressed tea cake will automatically fall from the mold 3 into the collection trough 2, completing the automatic feeding and collection without manual operation, avoiding the safety hazards of manual operation, and reducing the labor burden of operators.

[0033] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", "linking", "fixing", etc., should be interpreted broadly.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
