Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing technology, and in particular to a tea cake pressing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Tea, as a traditional beverage, has a wide audience worldwide. Loose tea is bulky and takes up a lot of storage space. It is also susceptible to moisture and oxidation during long-distance transportation, which affects its quality. In contrast, compressed tea cakes are compact in shape, which can effectively reduce storage space and reduce losses during transportation. At the same time, appropriate compression helps the tea to age and develop its flavor. To meet the needs of the tea industry for product form optimization, quality assurance and large-scale production, tea cake pressing machines have emerged. Existing tea cake pressing machines use mechanical force and molds as their core. The pre-treated tea raw materials are precisely placed into a mold cavity of a specific shape. The upper mold is driven to press down at a uniform speed through a hydraulic system, or pressure is gradually applied by a screw mechanism. Under constant pressure, the tea particles are tightly bound together, air is gradually expelled, and moisture is appropriately released. After pressure holding and shaping, the internal fibers of the tea intertwine and bond together, and finally, the tea cake is demolded to form a tight and regular tea cake. However, existing tea cake pressing machines require manual removal of the tea cakes from the mold after pressing, which is difficult, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and affects production efficiency. Therefore, a new tea cake pressing machine is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a tea cake pressing machine, which aims to improve the problem that in the prior art, tea cakes need to be manually clamped out of the mold after pressing, which is difficult to operate, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and affects production efficiency.

[0005] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this utility model, through the structural design of the material handling component, during the pre-pressing preparation, pressing the bottom plate causes the first spring to store energy. With the coordinated operation of the pull rod, the limiting plate, and the second spring, the bottom plate can be accurately and conveniently fixed in the predetermined position within the mold. The operation process is smooth and efficient, providing a stable foundation for tea pressing. After pressing, pulling the pull rod releases the limiting position. With the elastic potential energy of the first spring, the bottom plate automatically rebounds, smoothly pushing the formed tea cake out of the mold. This avoids the tediousness and inconvenience of manual clamping. This structure simplifies the tea cake demolding process, effectively reduces labor intensity, reduces the risk of damage to the tea cake during demolding, and solves the problem in the prior art that tea cakes need to be manually clamped from the mold after pressing, which is difficult to operate, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and affects production efficiency.

[0006] 2. In this utility model, through the structural design of the clamping assembly, when installing the mold, it is placed in the base, and the motor is started to drive the threaded rod to rotate. Through the ingenious transmission between the first gear and the second gear, multiple threaded rods rotate synchronously, causing the clamping plate to slide smoothly in the slide groove. The mold is precisely and evenly clamped and fixed from multiple directions, avoiding the tedious alignment and manual tightening during the mold installation process, improving the convenience and efficiency of mold installation. The multi-directional synchronous clamping method ensures that the mold is stable and without displacement during the pressing process, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the pressing, reducing tea cake quality problems caused by mold loosening, and enhancing the practicality of the tea cake pressing machine.

A pull rod 26 is slidably connected inside the installation cavity 25, providing movement space for the pull rod 26. A second spring 27 is sleeved on the surface of the pull rod 26. One end of the second spring 27 is fixedly connected to a limiting plate 28. The second spring 27 provides support for the limiting rod 23 to drive the pull rod 26 to reset. The base plate 22 has a limiting groove 29 on its side wall for easy positioning and fixing. A pressing device 4 is installed at the top of the mounting frame 1, and a controller 5 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting frame 1. The pressing device 4 is electrically connected to the controller 5, which controls the pressing device 4 to press the tea leaves. One end of the first spring 24 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate 22. Multiple limiting rods 23 are fixedly connected inside the mold 21. After pressing, the first spring 24 drives the base plate 22 to move upwards, disengaging from the limiting rods 23. The second spring 27 is slidably connected inside the mounting cavity 25. One end of the second spring 27 is fixedly connected inside the mounting cavity 25. The second spring 27 can drive the limiting plate 28 to slide inside the mounting cavity 25, so that the limiting plate 28 is reset. The pull rod 26 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 29. When the pull rod 26 enters the limiting groove 29, the base plate 22 can be fixed. The pull rod 26 passes through the side wall of the mold 21 and is slidably connected inside the mold 21, so that the pull rod 26 can smoothly contact the base plate 22 and complete the limiting work of the base plate 22.

[0011] Reference Figures 1-4The clamping assembly 3 includes a base 31 fixedly connected inside the mounting frame 1. The base 31 provides mounting space for the mold 21. A motor 32 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the base 31. At least one threaded rod 33 is rotatably connected inside the base 31. Each threaded rod 33 has a clamping plate 34 threadedly connected to its surface. Rotation of the threaded rod 33 can drive the clamping plate 34 to move. A first gear 35 is fixedly connected to one end of each threaded rod 33. A second gear 36 is provided at the bottom of the first gear 35. The first gear 35 and the second gear 36 mesh with each other. The first gear 35 can drive the second gear 36 to rotate. The first gear 35 can be driven to rotate. The base 31 has at least one sliding groove 37 inside, which provides movable space for the clamping plate 34. The motor 32 is electrically connected to the controller 5. The output end of the motor 32 is fixedly connected to one end of one of the threaded rods 33. The controller 5 can control the motor 32 to rotate and drive the threaded rod 33 to rotate. The clamping plate 34 abuts against the side wall of the mold 21. The second gear 36 is rotatably connected inside the base 31. The clamping plate 34 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 37. The rotation of the threaded rod 33 drives the clamping plate 34 to slide inside the sliding groove 37 to clamp the mold 21.

[0012] Working principle: The mold 21 is placed inside the base 31. The motor 32 is started by the controller 5. The motor 32 drives the threaded rod 33 at its output end to rotate. The first gear 35 at the end of the threaded rod 33 rotates accordingly. Through the transmission between the first gear 35 and the second gear 36, all threaded rods 33 rotate synchronously. When the threaded rods 33 rotate, they drive the clamping plate 34 to slide smoothly in the slide groove 37, firmly clamping the mold 21 from multiple directions. Then, the base plate 22 is pressed, causing the base plate 22 to compress the first spring 24 to store energy. At the same time, the pull rod 26 is pulled, causing the limiting plate 28 to slide in the mounting cavity 25, compressing the second spring 27. When the base plate 22 reaches the limit rod 23, the pull rod 26 is released. Under the elastic force of the second spring 27, the limit plate 28 drives the pull rod 26 to reset. The pull rod 26 is embedded in the limit groove 29, accurately fixing the position of the base plate 22 in the mold 21. Then, the tea leaves are placed inside the mold 21. The pressing device 4 is started by the controller 5 to press the tea leaves placed in the mold 21, so that the tea leaves are shaped under pressure. After pressing is completed, the pull rod 26 is pulled again to release the limit on the base plate 22. Under the elastic force of the first spring 24, the base plate 22 moves upward and smoothly pushes the shaped tea cake out of the mold 21, and the material can be removed.
