[0002] Tea leaves, commonly known as tea, generally include the leaves and buds of the tea plant. Other names include tea, jia, ming, and chuan. Tea leaves contain catechins, cholesterol, caffeine, inositol, folic acid, and pantothenic acid, which are beneficial to health. Tea beverages are one of the world's three major beverages. China is the birthplace of tea, with a history of tea making and drinking spanning thousands of years. It boasts a rich collection of famous teas, with major varieties including green tea, black tea, and oolong tea.

[0003] Regarding existing related technologies, the inventors believe that the following defects often exist: In existing flattening devices for tea processing, the flattening plate is usually made of rigid materials (such as metal or hard plastic), which has high surface hardness and limited deformation ability. During the flattening process, the tea leaves are directly squeezed by the rigid plate, which easily causes local stress concentration, resulting in broken edges, broken leaves, or indentations on the surface. Furthermore, the replacement of the flattening plate is cumbersome, which affects production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0014] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this utility model, those skilled in the art can propose various interchangeable structural methods and implementations without altering the essential spirit of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.

[0015] Reference Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a flattening device for tea processing, including a base plate 1; a processing box 2 is provided on the top of the base plate 1, a heat dissipation box 3 is provided on one side of the processing box 2, a cylinder 4 is provided on the top of the processing box 2, a pressure plate assembly is provided inside the processing box 2, a screen frame 6 is provided inside the processing box 2, the screen frame 6 is located below the pressure plate assembly, a collection box 7 is slidably installed at the front end of the base plate 1, and a flipping mechanism 8 is provided at both ends of the screen frame 6. The pressure plate assembly includes a flattening plate 5 and a connecting ring 10, the connecting ring 10 is fixed to the top of the flattening plate 5, the flattening plate 5 is made of flexible pressure plate material, and the cylinder 4... A connecting seat 9 is fixed at the output end, and a connecting ring 10 is slidably installed inside the connecting seat 9. Fixing mechanisms for fixing the connecting ring 10 are provided on both sides of the connecting seat 9. By setting up a pressure plate assembly, in which the flattening plate 5 of the pressure plate assembly is made of flexible pressure plate material, it can effectively avoid the local stress concentration caused by the direct squeezing of the tea leaves by the rigid pressure plate during the flattening process, which would lead to the tea leaf edges breaking, leaf breakage, or surface indentation, thus improving the processing quality of the tea. At the same time, by setting up a fixing mechanism, it is easy to quickly disassemble and assemble the pressure plate assembly, improving the convenience of replacing the pressure plate assembly, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the tea.

[0016] Reference Figures 3-4 As shown in this embodiment, the fixing mechanism includes fixing plates 11 fixed on both sides of the connecting seat 9. Fixing rods 12 slide inside the fixing plates 11. Fixing grooves 13 are provided on both sides of the connecting ring 10. The fixing rods 12 penetrate the interior of the connecting seat 9 and are inserted into the fixing grooves 13. By inserting the fixing rods 12 into the fixing grooves 13 on both sides of the connecting ring 10, the flattened plate 5 can be quickly fixed and disassembled. This design greatly simplifies the replacement process of the flattened plate 5, improves production efficiency, and reduces maintenance costs.

[0017] Reference Figure 4As shown in this embodiment: a disc 14 is fixed to the surface of the fixing rod 12, and a spring 15 is sleeved on the surface of the fixing rod 12. One end of the spring 15 is fixed to the disc 14, and the other end of the spring 15 is fixed to the fixing plate 11. A limit rod 16 is rotatably connected inside the fixing plate 11. A limit block 17 is fixed to one end of the limit rod 16, and one end of the limit block 17 abuts against the disc 14. Two rings 18 are fixedly sleeved on the surface of the limit rod 16, and the two rings 18 are located on both sides of the fixing plate 11. When the fixing rod 12 is pulled and needs to return to its original position, the fixing rod 12 is released, causing the spring 15 to push the disc 14 due to the recovery of its elasticity. At this time, the disc 14 will drive the fixing rod 12 to insert into the fixing groove 13, which plays a role in the fixing of the fixing rod 12. The first step is to reset the device for easy use next time. Then, through the structure of the limiting rod 16, the limiting block 17 and the ring 18, when the fixing rod 12 moves away from the inside of the fixing groove 13, the connecting ring 10 can be released, thereby disassembling and replacing the flattened plate 5. Then, the limiting rod 16 is rotated, which drives the limiting block 17 to block the front of the disc 14. After that, the fixing rod 12 is released, so that the spring 15 drives the disc 14 to contact the limiting block 17. At this time, the limiting block 17 will limit the disc 14. After that, when the fixing rod 12 needs to be inserted into the inside of the fixing groove 13, the limiting rod 16 is rotated so that the limiting block 17 no longer blocks the disc 14. Then the spring 15 will cause the disc 14 to drive the fixing rod 12 to be inserted into the inside of the fixing groove 13, thereby re-fixing the new flattened plate 5.

[0018] Reference Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment: the bottom of the connecting seat 9 is provided with a connecting groove 19 that matches the connecting ring 10. The setting of the connecting groove 19 ensures the precise docking between the flattening plate 5 and the connecting seat 9. This design reduces installation errors, improves the uniformity and consistency of the flattening process, and thus improves the quality of tea processing.

[0019] The working principle and structure of the flipping mechanism 8 and the heat sink 3 have been disclosed in this field (CN222564938U2), and will not be elaborated further here.

[0020] Working Principle: By setting up the pressure plate assembly, the user can effectively prevent localized stress concentration caused by the direct compression of tea leaves by the rigid pressure plate during the flattening process. This avoids issues such as broken edges, leaf breakage, or surface indentations, thus improving the processing quality of the tea. Simultaneously, the fixed mechanism facilitates quick assembly and disassembly of the pressure plate assembly, improving the ease of replacement and increasing processing efficiency. The flattening plate 5 is quickly fixed and disassembled by inserting the fixing rod 12 into the fixing slots 13 on both sides of the connecting ring 10. This design greatly simplifies the replacement process, improves production efficiency, and reduces maintenance costs. When the fixing rod 12 is pulled and needs to return to its original position, releasing it causes the spring 15 to push the disc 14 due to the recovery of its elasticity. The disc 14 then drives the fixing rod 12 into the fixing slot 13, thus securing the fixing rod 12. 2. The function of resetting is to facilitate the user's next use. Subsequently, through the structure of the limiting rod 16, the limiting block 17 and the ring 18, when the fixing rod 12 moves away from the inside of the fixing groove 13, the fixing ring 10 can be released, thereby disassembling and replacing the flattened plate 5. Then, the limiting rod 16 is rotated, which drives the limiting block 17 to block in front of the disc 14. Then the fixing rod 12 is released, so that the spring 15 drives the disc 14 to contact the limiting block 17. At this time, the limiting block 17 will limit the disc 14. After that, when the fixing rod 12 needs to be inserted into the inside of the fixing groove 13, the limiting rod 16 is rotated so that the limiting block 17 no longer blocks the disc 14. Then the spring 15 will cause the disc 14 to drive the fixing rod 12 to be inserted into the inside of the fixing groove 13, thereby realizing the re-fixing of the new flattened plate 5. The setting of the connecting groove 19 ensures the precise docking between the flattened plate 5 and the connecting seat 9. This design reduces installation errors, improves the uniformity and consistency of the flattening process, and thus improves the quality of tea processing.

[0021] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
