Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of moxa stick production, and in particular relates to a method for producing moxa sticks with a lead. Background Art

[0002] Moxa sticks are long cylindrical rolls made of moxa wrapped in cotton paper or other outer wrappings. They are mainly used for moxibustion. They have the benefits of warming the meridians and dispersing cold, promoting qi and blood circulation, and expelling cold and dampness. They are suitable for diseases such as wind-cold and dampness, muscle soreness and numbness, joint and limb pain, and cervical spondylosis.

[0003] The existing moxa stick production process generally includes harvesting, aging, crushing and rolling. The processed moxa sticks are mainly composed of two parts: moxa wool and an outer wrapping used to wrap the moxa wool. However, since both ends of the moxa stick are neat planes and the moxa wool is rolled relatively tightly, the processed moxa sticks are difficult to ignite, which increases the time and difficulty of operation.

[0004] At the same time, in the process of crushing mugwort into moxa fluff, in order to shorten the processing time and save costs, a continuous crushing method is generally adopted. The crushing equipment and the mugwort are in frequent contact, resulting in the internal temperature of the crushing equipment rising under the action of friction between the crushing equipment and the mugwort. Excessive temperature will affect the medicinal efficacy of the mugwort, resulting in poor efficacy of the processed moxa sticks.

[0005] To this end, we provide a method for producing a moxa stick with a lead to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for producing moxa sticks with a lead, which (1) cools down aged moxa leaves by using refrigeration equipment to avoid the temperature of the moxa leaves increasing due to friction during the crushing process, thereby affecting the efficacy of the moxa leaves, thereby solving the problem that the efficacy of the moxa leaves is easily lost during the existing crushing process; (2) quickly ignites the moxa sticks by using an oil-soaked lead, thereby solving the industry pain point that the existing moxa sticks are difficult to ignite due to their tight rolling and neat incision.

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

Then soak them in a liquid that can support combustion and is not volatile, and blow them dry to produce oil-soaked fuses.

[0014] Step 6: prepare an outer wrapper, fill the moxa obtained in step 4 on the outer wrapper, bury the multi-branch end of the oil-immersed lead obtained in step 5 in the inner end of the moxa, and arrange the branch ends of the oil-immersed lead in a divergent shape in the moxa, and then roll it;

[0015] Step 7: Sampling and testing the moxa sticks rolled in step 6. When the test is qualified, the batch of moxa sticks is packaged and labeled.

[0016] The present invention is further configured as follows: the drying time of the wormwood in step 1 is two to three days, and the moisture content of the wormwood after drying is between 10% and 12%.

[0017] The present invention is further configured as follows: the aging time of the mugwort leaves in step 2 is one to three years, the aging temperature of the mugwort leaves is between 15° C. and 25° C., and the aging humidity of the mugwort leaves is between 50% and 60%.

When the temperature of the mugwort leaves drops to a specific range, they are taken out and placed in a crushing device for crushing.

[0053] Among them, the refrigeration equipment 5 includes a freezer 501, a drying box 502 and a storage box 503. The model of the freezer 501 is preferably DW-60W151EU1, which belongs to the prior art. The freezer 501 is configured to cool down the aged mugwort leaves to prevent the temperature of the mugwort leaves from rising during the crushing process, thereby affecting its efficacy. The drying box 502 is fixedly connected to the center position of the front end surface of the freezer 501. The drying box 502 is configured to dehumidify the cold air. An air inlet pipe 502c runs through the top of the drying box 502. The bottom end of the air inlet pipe 502c extends to the upper part of the interior of the drying box 502. The top end of the air inlet pipe 502c runs through the front end surface of the freezer 501 and is fixedly connected to an exhaust fan 502d. The exhaust fan 502d is located at the front end of the interior of the freezer 501. The air pipe 502c and the exhaust fan 502d are used to introduce a part of the cold air in the freezer 501 into the drying box 502. The bottom of the drying box 502 is penetrated by an air outlet pipe 502e. The top of the air outlet pipe 502e extends to the lower part of the drying box 502. The bottom of the air outlet pipe 502e is connected to the inside of the crushing device through a pipeline. The air outlet pipe 502e is used to introduce the dehumidified cold air into the crushing device to cool the inside of the crushing device. The air inlet pipe 502c and the air outlet pipe 502e are both provided with a one-way valve. The storage box 503 is movably connected to the inside of the drying box 502 at equal intervals from top to bottom. A plurality of ventilation holes 503a are evenly opened at the inner bottom of the storage box 503. The storage box 503 also stores water-absorbing materials such as activated carbon.

[0054] Furthermore, multiple slide rails 502a are vertically and evenly spaced and fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the drying box 502, and sliders 503b are slidably connected to the slide rails 502a, and the tops of the sliders 503b are respectively welded to the bottom sides of the storage box 503;

[0055] A panel 503c is welded on the front end surface of the storage box 503. The panel 503c is located at the front end of the outer side of the drying box 502. A handle 503d is welded on the front end surface of the panel 503c.

[0056] L-shaped plates 502b are vertically fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the drying box 502, iron sheets 503e are welded to both sides of the outer wall of the panel 503c, and the rear end surface of the iron sheet 503e is magnetically connected to the front end surface of the L-shaped plate 502b, and the front end surface of the L-shaped plate 502b is embedded with a magnet;

[0057] When the above arrangement is in use, the aged mugwort leaves are put into a sealed bag and placed in a freezer 501. The temperature of the mugwort leaves is lowered to between -18°C and 4°C through the freezer 501. The mugwort leaves are taken out and placed in a crushing device for crushing. While and after the mugwort leaves are crushed, the exhaust fan 502d is started, and a portion of the cold air in the freezer 501 is sucked into the drying box 502 through the exhaust fan 502d. The cold air is dehumidified by the water-absorbing materials such as activated carbon in the storage box 503, and the dehumidified cold air enters the crushing device through the outlet pipe 502e, thereby cooling the interior of the crushing device and avoiding the temperature increase in the crushing device affecting the efficacy of the mugwort leaves.
