Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of moxa stick processing technology, specifically to a moxa stick cutting device. Background Technology

[0002] Moxibustion is currently very popular among consumers, and as a traditional Chinese medicine heritage, the moxibustion industry is gaining popularity in the market year by year. The small sections of moxa sticks used in moxibustion are made by cutting long moxa sticks into sections. Existing cutting equipment has low cutting efficiency and cannot cut in large quantities, resulting in low efficiency. Moreover, the cut moxa sticks are not smooth at the ends and have serious burr edges. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, the purpose of this invention is to provide an moxa stick cutting device that can quickly and in batches cut moxa sticks. Moreover, the cut moxa stick segments are flat and aesthetically pleasing, with a significantly reduced likelihood of burrs. This not only effectively improves the cutting efficiency of moxa sticks but also boasts a high degree of automation, thereby reducing labor costs.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a moxa stick cutting device, comprising a frame, a feeding device, a pushing device, a pressing device, and a cutting device, wherein the feeding device is located at one end of the frame; a pushing device is located above the frame near the output end of the feeding device, a pressing device is located at one end of the pushing device, and a cutting device is located at one end of the pressing device; the pushing device and the pressing device are jointly mounted on a support platform, and a first power mechanism is provided below the support platform to enable the support platform to move in the front-back direction, and a second power mechanism is provided below the first power mechanism to enable the first power mechanism and the support platform to move in the left-right direction.

[0005] Furthermore, the pushing device includes a linear module and a first slide rail respectively disposed on both sides of the support platform. A slider is movably connected to the first slide rail. A first support frame is fixed to the top of the slider and the top of the linear module. A pushing cylinder is disposed on the first support frame. A pushing plate is disposed at the bottom of the pushing cylinder. When the moxa stick to be cut is placed between the linear module and the first slide rail, the pushing cylinder descends. Under the action of the linear module, the pushing plate pushes the moxa stick to be cut to the cutting position.

[0006] The first slide rail has a guide rod, and the slider is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod. The slider drives the first support frame to move through the linear module.

[0007] The pressing device includes a second support frame on the surface of the support platform. A pressing cylinder is provided at the top of the second support frame. The telescopic end of the pressing cylinder passes through the support frame and is connected to a pressure plate that can press the moxa stick. Guide rods are also provided on both sides of the pressing cylinder at the top of the second support frame. The bottom of the guide rods passes through the second support frame and is connected to the surface of the pressure plate.

[0008] The cutting device includes a cutting motor and a cutting blade located at the output end of the cutting motor.

[0009] The support platform is also equipped with a material straightening device on one side of the pushing device. The material straightening device includes a base on the surface of the support platform, and a stepper motor screw mechanism is provided on the base. The end of the screw of the stepper motor screw mechanism is connected to a material straightening plate.

[0010] The pressing device is also equipped with a material blocking device at one end. The cutting device is arranged parallel to the material blocking device. The material blocking device includes an L-shaped plate on the surface of the frame. A material blocking cylinder is provided on the L-shaped plate. The telescopic end of the material blocking cylinder passes through the L-shaped plate and is connected to a baffle that can position the moxa stick. Guide rods are also provided on both sides of the material blocking cylinder on the L-shaped plate. The guide rods pass through the L-shaped plate and are connected to the baffle.

[0011] The first power mechanism includes a support base, a second slide rail on the surface of the support base, and a stepper motor screw mechanism inside the support base. A slider fixed to the bottom of the support platform is sleeved on the screw of the stepper motor screw mechanism. When the stepper motor screw mechanism is working, the support platform can move freely along the second slide rail.

[0012] The second power mechanism includes a third slide rail on the surface of the frame, a support base placed on the third slide rail, and a stepper motor screw mechanism on the inner side of the third slide rail. A slider fixed to the bottom of the support base is sleeved on the screw of the stepper motor screw mechanism. When the stepper motor screw mechanism is working, the support base can move freely along the third slide rail.

[0013] In operation, the telescopic end of the pushing cylinder in the pushing device retracts, allowing the moxa stick to enter the pushing device through the feeding device. The balancing device extends the balancing plate according to the thickness of the moxa stick to align the moxa stick before cutting, neatly stacking it. The telescopic end of the pushing cylinder moves downward, and the pushing plate pushes one end of the moxa stick forward. At this time, the blocking device has adjusted the moxa stick to the cutting position. When the moxa stick reaches the blocking plate position, it stops moving forward. The pressing cylinder on the second support frame moves downward, and the pressing plate presses the moxa stick. At this time, the blocking cylinder drives the blocking plate to retract to a distance equivalent to the thickness of the cutter. Then, the first power mechanism is activated, and the support platform moves together with the pushing device and the pressing device towards the cutter. After cutting is completed, the second power mechanism is activated, moving the first power mechanism and the support platform a certain distance away from the cutter axis. Then, the first power mechanism is activated again to return the support platform to its original position, and the second power mechanism is activated to return the first power mechanism and the support platform to their original positions.

[0014] To begin the second cutting, the material blocking device needs to be readjusted to the cutting position of the moxa stick. The pushing device pushes the moxa stick into the cutting position again, the pressure plate presses down, the baffle of the material blocking device retracts, and the first power mechanism drives the support platform to complete the second cutting of the moxa stick. After the second cutting, the first power mechanism and the support platform retract a certain distance as a whole. The first power mechanism is restarted to return the support platform to its original position, and the second power mechanism is restarted to return the first power mechanism and the support platform to their original positions, ready to begin the third cutting.

[0015] During the above operation, the baffle cylinder drives the baffle to retract to a distance equivalent to the thickness of the cutter. The retraction of a certain distance is to take into account the thickness of the cutter, so as to avoid resistance when cutting the moxa stick and facilitate the cutter to cut the moxa stick quickly. In addition, the baffle in the baffle device can position the moxa stick pushed from the pushing position each time it is cut, so as to meet the requirements of precise cutting.

[0016] The reason for moving the first power mechanism and the support platform away from the cutter along the cutter axis during the above process is to prevent the cut from rubbing against the cutter when it retracts after the moxa stick is cut, thus reducing burrs.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: it can quickly and in batches cut moxa sticks, and the cut moxa stick segments are flat and beautiful, with a high probability of reducing burrs. It not only effectively improves the cutting efficiency of moxa sticks, but also has a high degree of automation and reduces labor costs. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] Appendix Figure 1-2This is an embodiment of the present invention, disclosing a moxa stick 7 cutting device, including a frame 19, a feeding device 1, a pushing device, a pressing device, and a cutting device. The feeding device 1 is located at one end of the frame 19. A pushing device is located above the frame 19 near the output end of the feeding device 1. The pushing device includes a linear module 8 and a first slide rail 6 respectively disposed on both sides of a support platform 18. A slider 2 is movably connected to the first slide rail 6. A first support frame 4 is fixed to the top of the slider 2 and the top of the linear module 8. A pushing cylinder 5 is disposed on the first support frame 4. A pushing plate is provided at the bottom of the pushing cylinder 5. When the moxa stick 7 to be cut is placed between the linear module 8 and the first slide rail 6, the pushing cylinder 5 descends, and the pushing plate pushes the moxa stick 7 to be cut to the cutting position under the action of the linear module 8.

[0023] The first slide rail 6 has a guide rod, and the slider 2 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod. The slider 2 drives the first support frame 4 to move through the linear module 8.

[0024] The support platform 18 is also equipped with a material straightening device on one side of the pushing device. The material straightening device can straighten the moxa sticks 7 before cutting. The material straightening device includes a base on the surface of the support platform 18, and a stepper motor screw mechanism 3 is provided on the base. The end of the screw of the stepper motor screw mechanism 3 is connected to a material straightening plate.

[0025] Through the above technical solution, the telescopic end of the pushing cylinder 5 in the pushing device retracts, and after the moxa stick 7 enters the pushing device through the feeding device 1, the material balancing device extends the material balancing plate according to the thickness of the moxa stick 7 and neatly stacks the moxa stick 7; after the telescopic end of the pushing cylinder 5 moves downward, the pushing plate pushes one end of the moxa stick 7 forward continuously under the drive of the linear module 8.

[0026] The pushing device has a pressing device and a blocking device arranged in sequence at one end. The cutting device is arranged parallel to the blocking device. The cutting device includes a cutting motor 12 and a cutter 11 located at the output end of the cutting motor 12. The blocking device can position and buffer the cutting of the moxa stick 7. The blocking device includes an L-shaped plate on the surface of the frame 19. A blocking cylinder 13 is provided on the L-shaped plate 21. The telescopic end of the blocking cylinder 13 passes through the L-shaped plate and is connected to a baffle 14 that can position the moxa stick 7. Guide rods are also provided on both sides of the blocking cylinder 13 on the L-shaped plate. The guide rods pass through the L-shaped plate 21 and are connected to the baffle 14. The pressing device includes a second support frame 9 on the surface of the support platform 18. A pressing cylinder 10 is provided on the top of the second support frame 9. The telescopic end of the pressing cylinder 10 passes through the support frame and is connected to a pressure plate 20 that can press the moxa stick 7. Guide rods are also provided on both sides of the pressing cylinder 10 on the top of the second support frame 9. The bottom of the guide rods passes through the second support frame 9 and is connected to the surface of the pressure plate 20.

[0027] With the above technical solution, the material blocking device has adjusted the position of the moxa stick 7 to be cut. When the moxa stick 7 reaches the position of the baffle 14, it stops moving forward. The pressing cylinder 10 on the second support frame 9 moves down and the pressure plate 20 presses the moxa stick 7. At this time, the material blocking cylinder 13 drives the baffle 14 to retract to a distance equivalent to the thickness of the cutter 11.

[0028] The pushing device and the pressing device are both mounted on a support platform 18. A first power mechanism is provided below the support platform 18, which enables the support platform 18 to move in the front-back direction. The first power mechanism includes a support base 17. A second slide rail 16 is provided on the surface of the support base 17. A stepper motor screw mechanism is provided inside the support base 17. A slider 2 that is fixed to the bottom of the support platform 18 is sleeved on the screw 22 of the stepper motor screw mechanism. When the stepper motor screw mechanism is working, the support platform 18 can move freely along the second slide rail 16.

[0029] During operation, the first power mechanism is activated, and the support platform 18 moves toward the cutter 11 together with the pushing device and the pressing device.

[0030] Below the first power mechanism is a second power mechanism that enables the first power mechanism and the support platform 18 to move in the left and right directions. The second power mechanism includes a third slide rail 15 on the surface of the frame 19, a support base 17 on the third slide rail 15, and a stepper motor screw mechanism 3 on the inner side of the third slide rail 15. A slider 2 fixed to the bottom of the support base 17 is sleeved on the screw of the stepper motor screw mechanism 3. When the stepper motor screw mechanism 3 is working, the support base 17 can move freely along the third slide rail 15.

[0031] After the cutting is completed, the second power mechanism is activated, and the first power mechanism and the support platform 18 are moved a certain distance away from the cutter 11. Then, the first power mechanism is activated again to return the support platform 18 to its original position along the second slide rail 16. The second power mechanism is activated to return the first power mechanism and the support platform 18 to their original position along the third slide rail 15, and the cutting is completed in one go.

[0032] To begin the second cutting, the material blocking device needs to be readjusted to the cutting position of the moxa stick 7. The pushing device pushes the moxa stick 7 into the cutting position again, the pressure plate 20 presses down, the baffle 14 of the material blocking device retracts, and the first power mechanism drives the support platform 18 to complete the second cutting of the moxa stick 7. After the second cutting, the first power mechanism and the support platform 18 retract a certain distance as a whole. The first power mechanism is restarted to return the support platform 18 to its original position. The second power mechanism is restarted to return the first power mechanism and the support platform 18 to their original positions, ready to begin the third cutting.

[0033] During the above operation, the material-blocking cylinder 13 drives the baffle plate 14 to retract to a distance equivalent to the thickness of the cutter. The retraction of a certain distance is to take into account the thickness of the cutter 11, so as to avoid resistance when cutting the moxa stick and facilitate the cutter 11 to quickly cut the moxa stick 7. In addition, the baffle plate 14 in the material-blocking device can position the moxa stick pushed from the pushing position each time it is cut, so as to meet the requirements of precise cutting.

[0034] The first power mechanism and the support platform 18 are moved a certain distance away from the cutter 11 during the above-mentioned work process in order to prevent the cut from rubbing against the cutter 11 when the moxa stick 7 is retracted after cutting, thus reducing the burr phenomenon.

[0035] The above are only some specific embodiments of this utility model, but the design concept of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to this utility model using this concept shall be considered as an infringement of the protection scope of this utility model.
