[0009] Preferably, the upper mold frame and the lower mold frame are hinged.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Based on the prior art, this utility model additionally sets up an upper mold frame. After the tea leaves are compacted, the mold body and the press head are removed from the lower mold frame, and the upper mold frame is snapped onto the lower mold frame. At this time, the third through hole corresponds to the second through hole one by one. Then, the upper mold frame and the lower mold frame snapped together are put into the drying process for drying. On the one hand, it can reduce the space occupied in the drying process. On the other hand, since there are several ventilation holes on the upper and lower pads, both ends of the tea block are in contact with the hot air, which can improve the drying efficiency.

[0015] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined in this application.

[0016] Example 1: As shown in the attached document Figure 1As shown, this utility model describes a tea-pressing mold, comprising a mold body 1, an upper mold frame 2, and a lower mold frame 3. The mold body 1 is rectangular in shape and has several vertical through holes 11. M rows and N columns of through holes 11 can be arranged on the mold body 1, where M and N are both natural numbers greater than zero. The number of through holes 11 can be set as needed. Each through hole 11 corresponds to a pressing head 4, which is inserted into the through hole 11 from top to bottom and can be pulled out of the through hole 11. A recess is provided at the bottom of the pressing head 4. Cavity 41; The upper mold frame 2 and the lower mold frame 3 can both be composed of a support plate and several support legs set on the support plate; The lower mold frame 3 is provided with a second through hole 31 corresponding to the first through hole 11, and the second through hole 31 corresponds one-to-one with the first through hole 11. A lower pad 32 is fixedly provided in the second through hole 31, and the cavity 41 and the lower pad 32 form a tea-forming cavity; The upper mold frame 2 is provided with a third through hole 21 corresponding to the first through hole 11, and the third through hole 21 corresponds one-to-one with the first through hole 11. An upper pad 22 is provided in the third through hole 21; Both the upper pad 22 and the lower pad 32 are provided with several ventilation holes.

[0017] Preferably, the top ends of several pressure heads 4 are all fixed on the same pressure plate 5, connecting multiple pressure heads 4 into one unit, so that multiple pressure heads 4 can be inserted into the corresponding first through hole 31 at the same time.

[0018] Preferably, in order to ensure rapid positioning between the mold body and the lower mold frame, a positioning pin 12 is provided at the bottom of the mold body 1, and a positioning hole adapted to the positioning pin 12 is provided on the lower mold frame 3. Preferably, two positioning pins 12 are provided, one positioning pin 12 at each end of the bottom of the mold body 1. Through the cooperation of the positioning pin 12 and the positioning block, the first through hole 11 on the mold body 1 and the second through hole 31 on the lower mold frame 3 are quickly aligned.
