Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In tea processing, pressing and shaping is a crucial step. Typically, weighed tea leaves are placed into specific molds and mechanically pressed into products such as tea cakes or bricks. However, in practice, due to the narrow opening of the pressing molds, tea leaves easily spill during feeding, resulting in raw material waste and increased cleaning costs.

[0003] Currently, to solve the above problems, auxiliary tools (such as funnels) are often used for feeding, but they require manual support and need to be removed before pressing, making the operation process cumbersome and affecting production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0005] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to propose a tea pressing and forming device that adopts a height-adjustable funnel structure, which achieves dual optimization of preventing leakage during feeding and facilitating convenient material retrieval. Moreover, the entire process requires no manual intervention, making it easy to operate and improving the production efficiency of tea cakes.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of this utility model provides a tea pressing and forming device, comprising a base plate, a support cylinder, a funnel, a pressing assembly, an ejection assembly, and two linkage assemblies. The support cylinder is disposed on the upper surface of the base plate, and a bearing cylinder is mounted on the support cylinder. The funnel is slidably fitted onto the bearing cylinder, and a connecting ring is provided on the outer wall of the funnel. A connecting plate is provided on the outer wall of the bearing cylinder, and the connecting ring and the connecting plate are connected by a spring. A support plate is provided on the base plate, and the pressing assembly is disposed on the support plate, located directly above the bearing cylinder. The ejection assembly is disposed inside the support cylinder and extends into the bearing cylinder. The two linkage assemblies are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the ejection assembly, and each linkage assembly is connected to the connecting ring and the ejection assembly, respectively.

[0007] In addition, the tea pressing and forming device proposed above according to this utility model may also have the following additional technical features:

[0008] Specifically, the pressing assembly includes a first driving member and a pressure plate, wherein the first driving member is mounted on the support plate; the pressure plate is disposed at the output end of the first driving member, and the pressure plate cooperates with the inner wall of the bearing cylinder.

[0009] Specifically, the ejection assembly includes a second driving member and an ejection plate, wherein the second driving member is disposed inside the support cylinder, and the telescopic rod of the second driving member extends into the interior of the bearing cylinder and is connected to the ejection plate.

[0010] Specifically, the linkage assembly includes a connecting rod, a first pulley, a second pulley, and a steel rope. The connecting rod is mounted on the telescopic rod of the second drive member and is located inside the bearing cylinder. The first pulley is located inside the support cylinder. The second pulley is located on the side wall of the support plate. One end of the steel rope is connected to the end of the connecting rod, and the other end of the steel rope passes through the first pulley and the second pulley in sequence and is connected to the connecting plate.

[0011] Specifically, the bottom wall of the bearing cylinder and the side wall of the support cylinder are respectively provided with through holes that allow the steel rope to pass through.

[0012] Specifically, the top of the side wall of the bearing cylinder has a sloping structure.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: by adopting a height-adjustable funnel structure, on the one hand, the tea leaves are guided during feeding to effectively prevent them from scattering; on the other hand, after the tea leaves are pressed, the funnel is lowered by a linkage mechanism to fully expose the top space of the bearing cylinder, making it easy to remove the tea cake intact. This achieves dual optimization of feeding leakage prevention and convenient material removal, and the entire process requires no manual intervention, making it easy to operate and improving the production efficiency of tea cakes.

[0020] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Rather, the embodiments of the present invention include all variations, modifications, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

[0021] The tea pressing and forming apparatus of this utility model is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the tea pressing and forming device of this utility model includes a base plate 1, a support cylinder 2, a funnel 3, a pressing component 4, an ejection component 5, and two linkage components 6.

[0023] The support cylinder 2 is set on the upper surface of the base plate 1, and the support cylinder 2 is provided with a bearing cylinder 7; the funnel 3 is slidably sleeved on the bearing cylinder 7, the outer wall of the funnel 3 is provided with a connecting ring 8, the outer wall of the bearing cylinder 7 is provided with a connecting plate 10, and the connecting ring 8 and the connecting plate 10 are connected by a spring 9.

[0024] It should be noted that both the support cylinder 2 and the bearing cylinder 7 are cylindrical structures with an open top, and the bearing cylinder 7 is coaxially arranged with the support cylinder 2. The funnel 3 is a funnel structure with a larger top and a smaller bottom, and the upper diameter of the funnel 3 is larger, which makes it convenient to accurately put the tea leaves into the interior of the bearing cylinder 7 and effectively avoids the problem of tea leaves spilling.

[0025] A support plate 11 is provided on the base plate 1, and the pressing component 4 is provided on the support plate 11 and is located directly above the bearing cylinder 7; the ejector component 5 is provided inside the support cylinder 2 and extends into the bearing cylinder 7; two linkage components 6 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the ejector component 5, and each linkage component 6 is connected to the connecting ring 8 and the ejector component 5 respectively.

[0026] In this embodiment of the invention, the pressing component 4 can press the loose tea leaves in the bearing cylinder 7 into a cake shape, and the ejecting component 5 can eject the formed tea leaves (tea cake) from the bearing cylinder 7, thereby making it convenient to remove the tea cake.

[0027] Furthermore, with the cooperation of the linkage component 6, when the ejector component 5 pushes the tea cake upward, the linkage component 6 will simultaneously drive the funnel 3 downward, thereby reducing the height of the tea cake to be picked up and placed, making it easier to unload the tea cake.

[0028] Specifically, when pressing tea leaves, the relevant personnel put the weighed loose tea leaves into the funnel 3. The tea leaves eventually fall into the inside of the carrier cylinder 7. Then, the relevant personnel control the pressing component 4 to start. The pressing component 4 presses the tea leaves in the carrier cylinder 7 into a cake shape. Subsequently, the pressing component 4 separates from the carrier cylinder 7.

[0029] At this point, relevant personnel can control the ejector component 5 to start, which pushes the tea cake out of the carrier cylinder 7. At the same time, with the cooperation of the linkage component 6, the funnel 3 is moved down, thereby reducing the height of the tea cake to be picked up and put down, making it easier to unload the tea cake.

[0030] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the pressing assembly 4 includes a first driving member 41 and a pressure plate 42. The first driving member 41 is mounted on the support plate 11. The pressure plate 42 is disposed at the output end of the first driving member 41 and cooperates with the inner wall of the bearing cylinder 7.

[0031] It should be noted that the first driving component 41 can be an electric push rod. When the pressure plate 42 is placed inside the bearing cylinder 7, it fits tightly against the cylinder wall, thereby achieving uniform pressing of the tea leaves.

[0032] Specifically, after the relevant personnel control the first driving component 41 to start, it drives the pressure plate 42 to move down. The pressure plate 42 can press the loose tea leaves to form a tea cake.

[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the ejection assembly 5 includes a second drive member 51 and an ejection plate 52. The second drive member 51 is disposed inside the support cylinder 2, and the telescopic rod of the second drive member 51 extends into the interior of the bearing cylinder 7 and is connected to the ejection plate 52.

[0034] It should be noted that the second driving component 51 can be an electric push rod, and the ejector plate 52 is placed inside the bearing cylinder 7, which is in close contact with the cylinder wall. The ejector plate 52 can bear the pressure of the pressure plate 42 pressing the tea leaves, and at the same time, it can push out the formed tea cake.

[0035] Specifically, after the tea cake is formed, the second drive component 51 is activated, which drives the pressure plate 42 to move upward, so as to push the tea cake out of the support cylinder 7.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, the linkage assembly 6 includes a connecting rod 61, a first pulley 62, a second pulley 63, and a steel rope 64. The connecting rod 61 is mounted on the telescopic rod of the second drive member 51 and is located inside the bearing cylinder 7. The first pulley 62 is mounted inside the support cylinder 2. The second pulley 63 is mounted on the side wall of the support plate 11. One end of the steel rope 64 is connected to the end of the connecting rod 61, and the other end of the steel rope 64 passes through the first pulley 62 and the second pulley 63 in sequence and is connected to the connecting plate 10.

[0037] It should be noted that the connecting rod 61 is located below the ejector plate 52. When the telescopic rod of the second drive component 51 extends, it drives the ejector plate 52 and the connecting rod 61 to move upward synchronously. Since the length of the steel rope 64 is fixed, under the guidance of the first pulley 62 and the second pulley 63, the steel rope 64 pulls the funnel 3 downward, while compressing the spring 9, causing the top of the bearing cylinder 7 to protrude. This design effectively reduces the height of tea cake handling, facilitates the feeding operation, and requires no manual intervention throughout the process, making it convenient and improving the efficiency of tea cake production.

[0038] Furthermore, when the ejector plate 52 and the connecting rod 61 move downward, the steel rope 64 relaxes; at this time, the compressed spring 9 releases its elastic potential energy, pushing the funnel 3 to reset and restoring the tea-guiding function.

[0039] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the bottom wall of the bearing cylinder 7 and the side wall of the support cylinder 2 are respectively provided with through holes that allow the steel rope 64 to pass through, and the through holes facilitate the free passage of the steel rope 64.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the top of the side wall of the bearing cylinder 7 is a sloping structure.

[0041] It should be noted that the end of the slope near the inner wall of the bearing cylinder 7 is lower to prevent tea leaves from accumulating on the upper wall of the bearing cylinder 7.

[0042] In summary, the tea pressing and forming device of this utility model adopts a height-adjustable funnel structure. On the one hand, it guides the tea during feeding, effectively preventing the tea from scattering; on the other hand, after the tea is pressed, the funnel is lowered by the linkage mechanism to fully expose the top space of the bearing cylinder, making it easy to remove the tea cake intact. This achieves dual optimization of preventing leakage during feeding and facilitating easy material removal. Moreover, no manual intervention is required throughout the process, making it easy to operate and improving the production efficiency of tea cakes.
