[0031] Example: A shaping and drying device for sour tea, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the device includes a shaping plate 1, on which a plurality of shaping grooves 11 are evenly provided. In this embodiment, the shaping grooves 11 are square in shape, but they can also be round or other shapes. Of course, the smaller the shaping grooves 11 are, the smaller the tea cakes will be, making it easier to brew them directly later. The top and bottom ends of the shaping grooves 11 are open. The bottom end of the shaping plate 1 is provided with a demolding component 2 that works with the shaping grooves 11. In addition to facilitating demolding, the demolding component 2 also supports the tea cakes in the shaping grooves 11. The top end of the shaping plate 1 is provided with a pressing component 3 that works with the shaping grooves 11. The pressing component 3 presses and shapes the tea cakes in the shaping grooves 11, making the tea cakes more regular in shape.

[0032] Multiple sliding holes 12 are evenly provided around the periphery of the shaping plate 1, and the sliding holes 12 vertically penetrate the shaping plate 1. The demolding assembly 2 includes a sliding rod 21, a fixing knob 22, a support plate 23, a connecting rod 24, a first support net 25, and a top plate 26. Multiple sliding rods 21 are provided and are inserted into the sliding holes 12 one by one. The fixing knob 22 is provided on the shaping plate 1 and is used to fix the sliding rods 21. The support plate 23 is provided below the shaping plate 1, and the lower end of the sliding rod 21 is connected to the support plate 23. Multiple top plates 26 are provided and are inserted into the shaping groove 11 one by one. The top plate 26 slides in conjunction with the shaping groove 11. The first support net 25 is provided at the upper end of the top plate 26. Several first ventilation holes 27 are evenly provided on the top plate 26. The lower end of the top plate 26 is connected to the support plate 23 through the connecting rod 24. The fixing knob 22 fixes the slide bar 21 and the shaping plate 1, so that the top plate 26 is located in the shaping groove 11. At this time, a certain amount of tea cake can be placed in the shaping groove 11 and pressed into a cake by the pressing component 3. The first vent 27 is conducive to the drying of the tea cake, and the first support net 25 prevents the tea cake from entering the first vent 27. After the tea cake is dried and shaped, the fixing knob 22 can be loosened, the shaping plate 1 can be pressed down, and the tea cake can be pushed out of the shaping groove 11 to complete the demolding.

[0033] A number of ventilation grooves 28 corresponding to the shaping grooves 11 are provided on the support plate 23, which is conducive to the ventilation of the demolding component 2.

[0034] The pressing assembly 3 includes a pressing plate 31, a pressing block 32, a second support net 33, a screw 34, a pressing ring 35, and a handle 36. The pressing plate 31 is located at the upper end of the shaping plate 1. Multiple pressing blocks 32 are evenly distributed at the lower end of the pressing plate 31. Each pressing block 32 corresponds to a shaping groove 11 and is slidably connected to the shaping groove 11. Several second ventilation holes 37 are evenly distributed on the pressing block 32. The upper end of the second ventilation holes 37 passes through the pressing plate 31. The second support net 33 is located at the lower end of the pressing block 32. A screw hole 29 is opened at the upper end of the sliding rod 21. The lower end of the screw 34 is inserted into the screw hole 29, and the screw 34 and the screw hole 29 form a threaded connection. The upper end of the screw 34 is connected to the handle 36. The lower end of the handle 36 is rotatably connected to the pressing ring 35, and the lower end of the pressing ring 35 presses against the pressing plate 31. The pressing assembly 3 presses the tea leaves in the shaping groove 11 using the pressing block 32 on the pressing plate 31. The second vent 37 facilitates the drying of the tea cake, while the second support net 33 prevents the tea leaves from being squeezed into the second vent 37. The pressing plate 31 is mainly pressed firmly against the shaping plate 1 by rotating the handle 36 to press the pressing ring 35 downward.

[0035] To facilitate the movement of this device, handles 4 are provided on both the left and right sides of the shaping plate 1.

[0036] Of course, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the device also includes a fixing frame 5, on which several fixing slots 51 are evenly arranged from left to right. The molding plate 1, the demolding component 2, and the pressing component 3 can all be vertically installed in the fixing slots 51. The molding plate, the demolding component 2, and the pressing component 3 can be vertically fixed, reducing the floor space occupied during the drying process.

[0037] Instructions for use: After kneading the fermented tea, divide it into measured tea cakes and place them sequentially into the shaping groove 11. After installing the pressing component 3, place them vertically on the fixing rack 5 for initial drying. Alternatively, the fixing rack 5 can be placed directly in the drying room, and then the shaping plate 1, demolding component 2, and pressing component 3 can be placed on the fixing rack 5. Or, the shaping plate 1, demolding component 2, and pressing component 3 can be placed directly in the dryer. Natural drying or machine drying is acceptable. However, since fermented tea contains a lot of moisture, it is necessary to ensure that the tea cake is basically dry before demolding to prevent deformation during subsequent drying.

[0038] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
