Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing technology, and in particular to a roll forming machine for processing flat tea leaves. Background Technology
[0002] An existing rapid rolling forming device for flat tea processing, with publication number CN 222656165 U, involves placing tea leaves inside multiple sets of placement cylinders. A cylinder drives a compaction roller to insert into the placement cylinder, thus compacting the tea leaves. A drive motor rotates a fixed disc, compacting the tea leaves in the next placement cylinder. Pulling a lifting rod causes a sliding plate along the outer wall of a support rail to eject the formed tea leaves from the placement cylinder, facilitating retrieval and increasing the forming speed. However, after forming the tea leaves, the device requires pulling the lifting rod and sliding the sliding plate along the support rail to eject the formed tea leaves from the placement cylinder, increasing manual operation and causing inconvenience in production. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a roll forming machine for processing flat tea leaves in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0004] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:
[0005] A roll forming machine for processing flat tea leaves includes a support mechanism, on which a forming mechanism is installed to rotate the pressed tea leaves during the resetting process after pressing, and then discharge the material. The support mechanism includes a base plate, with a support cylinder and a support frame fixed to the upper end of the base plate, the support cylinder being located in front of the support frame. The forming mechanism includes a pressing component, with a rotating component connected to the pressing component, and an ejection component installed on the rotating component. The pressing component includes a cylinder fixed to the upper end of the support frame, with a mounting plate fixed to the lower end of the cylinder, and two opposing components fixed to the lower side of the mounting plate. The pressure plate and connecting rod are connected together. The lower end of the connecting rod is connected to a sleeve, and a guide post is fixed on the front wall of the sleeve. The rotating assembly includes a rotating shaft set inside the support cylinder. The upper end of the rotating shaft passes through the support cylinder and is fixed to a support plate. Placement cylinders are evenly distributed around the upper circumference of the support plate. The upper end of the placement cylinder is open and is opposite to the pressure plate. A vertical groove is provided on the outer surface of the rotating shaft inside the support cylinder. The upper and lower ends of adjacent vertical grooves are connected by an oblique groove. A vertical through groove through which the guide post passes is provided on the rear wall of the support cylinder. The guide post slides in conjunction with the vertical groove and the oblique groove.
[0006] Further configuration: The ejection assembly includes a top plate disposed inside the placement cylinder, a slide rod fixed at the lower end of the top plate that passes through the support plate, a universal wheel installed at the lower end of the slide rod, a spring sleeved on the outer side of the slide rod above the universal wheel, and a raised arc block fixed at the upper end of the support cylinder on one side of the through groove.
[0007] Further configuration: The top plate is slidably connected to the placement cylinder, and the slide rod is slidably connected to the support plate.
[0008] Further details: The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the support cylinder, the lower end of the connecting rod is provided with a flange, and the connecting rod is slidably connected to the sleeve.
[0009] Further configuration: The placement cylinder has four evenly distributed slots on the support plate, and four vertical slots and four oblique slots are provided on the outer surface of the rotating shaft. The vertical slots are arranged vertically opposite to the placement cylinder.
[0010] Further configuration: The pressure plate and the placement cylinder are slidably connected.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] By incorporating the pressing, rotating, and ejecting components of the forming mechanism, the cylinder extends and retracts, causing the pressure plate and connecting rod at the lower end of the mounting plate to move. This creates a compression space between the pressure plate and the placement cylinder for the tea leaves. The connecting rod drives the sleeve to move up and down, and as the guide column moves along the vertical and inclined grooves, it compresses the tea leaves and drives the rotating shaft to rotate. This causes the support plate and placement cylinder to rotate intermittently. Simultaneously, during this rotation, the ejecting component ejects the pressed tea leaves. The entire operation is seamlessly connected via the cylinder, improving the ease and efficiency of operation. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0024] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a roll forming machine for processing flat tea leaves includes a support mechanism, on which a forming mechanism is provided to rotate the pressed tea leaves and discharge them during the resetting process after pressing.
[0025] In this embodiment: the support mechanism includes a base plate 11, and a support cylinder 13 and a support frame 12 are fixed on the upper end of the base plate 11. The support cylinder 13 is located in front of the support frame 12.
[0026] In this embodiment: the molding mechanism includes a pressing component, a rotating component connected to the pressing component, and an ejection component provided on the rotating component.
[0027] The pressing assembly includes a cylinder 28 fixed to the upper end of the support frame 12. A mounting plate 29 is fixed to the lower end of the cylinder 28. A pressure plate 210 and a connecting rod 211 are fixed to the lower side of the mounting plate 29 in a front-to-back manner. A sleeve 212 is connected to the lower end of the connecting rod 211. A guide post 213 is fixed on the front wall of the sleeve 212. A flange is provided at the lower end of the connecting rod 211. The connecting rod 211 and the sleeve 212 are slidably connected. By the extension and retraction of the cylinder 28, the pressure plate 210 and the connecting rod 211 at the lower end of the mounting plate 29 are moved, so that the pressure plate 210 and the placing cylinder 23 form a squeezing space for the tea leaves. The connecting rod 211 drives the sleeve 212 to move up and down as a whole, so that the guide post 213 causes the rotating assembly to rotate intermittently.
[0028] The rotating assembly includes a rotating shaft 21 disposed inside a support cylinder 13, which is rotatably connected to the support cylinder 13. A support plate 22 is fixed to the upper end of the rotating shaft 21, passing through the support cylinder 13. Placement cylinders 23 are evenly distributed around the upper circumference of the support plate 22, with open upper ends. The placement cylinders 23 are opposite to a pressure plate 210, which is slidably connected to the placement cylinders 23. A vertical groove 201 is formed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 21 inside the support cylinder 13. An inclined groove 202 connects the upper and lower ends of adjacent vertical grooves 201. A groove is formed on the rear wall of the support cylinder 13. A vertical through groove 131 through which a guide post 213 passes, the guide post 213 slidingly engaging with the vertical groove 201 and the inclined groove 202; four placement cylinders 23 are evenly distributed on the support plate 22, and four vertical grooves 201 and four inclined grooves 202 are provided on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 21. The vertical grooves 201 and the placement cylinder 23 are arranged vertically opposite each other. When the tea is pressed, the guide post 213 moves in the vertical groove 201, and when the guide post 213 moves on the inclined groove 202, it drives the rotating shaft 21 to rotate as a whole, thereby achieving intermittent rotation of the support plate 22 and the placement cylinder 23.
[0029] The ejection assembly includes a top plate 24 disposed inside the placement cylinder 23. A slide rod 25 passing through a support plate 22 is fixed to the lower end of the top plate 24. A universal wheel 26 is installed at the lower end of the slide rod 25. A spring 27 is sleeved on the outside of the slide rod 25 above the universal wheel 26. A raised arc block 132 is fixed to the upper end of the support cylinder 13 on one side of the through groove 131. The top plate 24 is slidably connected to the placement cylinder 23, and the slide rod 25 is slidably connected to the support plate 22. When the support plate 22 and the placement cylinder 23 rotate intermittently, the spring 27 pushes the universal wheel 26 downward, so that the universal wheel 26 is always in contact with the upper end of the support cylinder 13 or the raised arc block 132, so that the top plate 24 forms a space for pressing tea leaves or ejects the pressed tea leaves out of the placement cylinder 23.
[0030] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: Tea leaves are placed into the placement cylinder 23. The cylinder 28 extends downward to push the pressure plate 210 and the connecting rod 211 downward. The pressure plate 210 presses the tea leaves in the placement cylinder 23 into shape. Then, the cylinder 28 moves upward, causing the pressure plate 210 to detach from the placement cylinder 23. The connecting rod 211 drives the sleeve 212 and the guide column 213 to move upward. The guide column 213 moves in the inclined groove 202 on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 21, causing the rotating shaft 21 and the support plate 22 to rotate as a whole by 90°. This causes the placement cylinder 23, after the tea leaves are pressed into shape, to rotate to the upper side of the raised arc block 132. The universal wheel 26 on the lower side of the placement cylinder 23 moves upward through the push slide 25 and the top plate 24, pushing the shaped tea leaves out of the placement cylinder 23 and taking them out.
[0031] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
