Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of moxibustion devices, and in particular to an automatic dust scraping device. Background Art

[0002] At present, moxibustion is an important part of acupuncture and one of the important means of TCM treatment. The action pathways of moxibustion include the thermal stimulation of acupuncture points during the burning process of moxa sticks and the pharmacological effects of volatile substances during the burning of moxa. Traditional moxibustion is mainly divided into two categories: moxa cone moxibustion and moxa stick moxibustion. During the moxibustion process, there is a risk of burning ashes scattering and scalding the patient. In addition, since moxa cones or moxa sticks are not covered by containers, most of the moxa and firepower are wasted; and the temperature is unstable during the moxibustion process, which affects the efficacy and is inconvenient to operate. These have seriously restricted the promotion and application of moxibustion.

[0003] For this reason, moxibustion devices came into being. The moxibustion process requires manual and timely removal of moxa ash after the burning of the moxa stick. However, the moxibustion ash produced when the moxa stick burns covers the burning point of the moxa stick, causing the moxibustion temperature to be high and low at times. Its use requires manual experience to handle and supervise the moxibustion. The moxibustion ash is repeatedly cleaned every few minutes, which brings inconvenience to the use of moxibustion. Often, because the temperature cannot be observed, it leads to adverse conditions such as burns due to the high burning temperature of the moxibustion during the moxibustion process.

[0004] The semi-carbonized curled edge produced by the burning of the outer paper of the moxa stick cannot be removed by vibration. It must be removed by external friction, which causes great trouble for ash removal. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide an automatic dust scraping device, which removes dust from the burning end of the moxa stick.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] Below, the present invention is further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 An automatic dust scraping device shown includes a base 10 and a dust removal component, a mounting position 12 is provided on the base 10, and the dust removal component is installed on the base 10. Specifically, the dust removal component includes at least two first dust removal components 21 and a first driving mechanism, at least two first dust removal components 21 are circumferentially distributed around the central axis of the mounting position 12, at least two first dust removal components 21 can be arranged around the periphery of the mounting position 12, and the first driving mechanism can drive at least two first dust removal components 21 to move close to or away from the mounting position 12, and after at least two first dust removal components 21 move close to the mounting position 12, dust removal operation can be performed.

[0024] On the basis of the above structure, when using the automatic scraping device of the present invention, taking the removal of ash on the surface of the burning end of the moxa stick 50 as an example, when removing ash, the burning end of the moxa stick 50 can be placed on the installation position 12, and the first driving mechanism drives at least two first ash removal parts 21 to move toward the installation position 12, and at least two first ash removal parts 21 can be arranged around the outer periphery of the moxa stick 50 and clamp the moxa stick 50, so that a large friction force is formed between the burning end of the moxa stick 50 and the at least two first ash removal parts 21. After that, a person can manually pull out the moxa stick 50 to overcome the friction between the first ash removal parts 21 and the first ash removal parts 21, remove the semi-carbonized curling edge produced by the burning of the outer layer of paper of the moxa stick 50, automatically remove the dust of the moxa stick 50, and avoid burns caused by manual ash removal.

[0025] It should be noted that the above-mentioned mounting position 12 can be formed by a hole opened in the middle of the base 10, and the burning end of the moxa stick 50 can be inserted into the hole. Of course, the mounting position 12 can also be surrounded by at least two first ash removal members 21.

[0026] Further, in the present embodiment, one end of the first ash removal member 21 close to the mounting position 12 is formed as an ash removal end, and the other end of the first ash removal member 21 is formed as a driving end 211. Specifically, the first driving mechanism includes a driving member, a driving wheel 32 and an elastic member 33. The driving wheel 32 is pivotally connected to the base 10, and the driving wheel 32 rotates under the drive of the driving member. In addition, a guiding portion 321 is provided on the driving wheel 32, and the guiding portion 321 can slide with the driving end 211 during the rotation of the driving wheel 32 to guide the driving end 211 toward or away from the mounting position 12. One end of the elastic member 33 is connected to the base 10, and the other end of the elastic member 33 is connected to the driving end 211; the elastic member 33 is used to provide an elastic stress that causes the driving end 211 to move toward or away from the mounting position 12.

[0027] On the basis of the above structure, in the initial rotation state, the drivable member can drive the driving wheel 32 to rotate, and the driving wheel 32 can drive the guide part 321 to rotate. When the guide part 321 rotates, the driving end 211 of the first ash removal member 21 can slide along the guide part 321, and under the guidance of the guide part 321, it can move away from the installation position 12, and at this time, the elastic member 33 is stretched. Thereafter, the moxa stick 50 is placed in the installation position 12, and the above driving member drives the driving wheel 32 to flip. During this process, the elastic member 33 is reset, and the driving end 211 of the first ash removal member 21 can move toward the installation position 12 under the action of elastic stress and fit on the guide part 321, so that at least two ash removal ends of the first ash removal member 21 can move close to the installation position 12 to clamp the moxa stick 50.

[0028] In this way, the linear motion of at least two first dust removal members 21 is achieved through the rotational motion of the driving wheel 32, which can save motion space and make the volume of the entire device smaller.

[0029] Furthermore, at least two guide parts 321 are provided, and at least two guide parts 321 are distributed at intervals around the circumference of the central axis of the driving wheel 32; each driving end 211 corresponds to each guide part 321 one by one and slides together; an elastic component 33 is connected between each driving end 211 and the base 10, that is, when the driving part rotates, at least two guide parts 321 can simultaneously guide the driving ends 211 of at least two first dust removal parts 21 away from the installation position 12, with better synchronization and saving of driving force.

[0030] Of course, in other cases, the first driving mechanism may also be implemented by directly using at least two linear motion output mechanisms, such as at least two cylinders driving at least two first ash removal members 21 to move simultaneously.

[0031] Furthermore, the guide portion 321 in this embodiment is a convex block, which is convexly arranged on the outer surface of the driving wheel 32, and an arc surface is arranged on the outer surface of the convex block, and the distance between each arc point of the arc surface and the center of the driving wheel 32 gradually increases or decreases, and the driving end 211 slides with the arc surface. In this way, when the driving wheel 32 rotates, the driving end 211 of the first dust removal member 21 can slide along the arc surface, and because the distance between each arc point of the arc surface and the center of the driving wheel 32 gradually increases, the driving end 211 can be driven to gradually move away from the installation position 12 during the rotation process.

[0032] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the distance between each point of the arc of the arc surface and the center of the driving wheel 32 can gradually increase in the positive rotation direction of the driving wheel 32. Therefore, when the driving wheel 32 rotates in the positive direction, the driving end 211 is driven to gradually move away, and when the driving wheel 32 rotates in the reverse direction, the driving end 211 is driven to gradually move closer.

[0033] Of course, the guide portion 321 may also be implemented as a wedge-shaped block, and the driving portion may slide along the inclined surface of the wedge-shaped block to achieve guidance.

[0034] Furthermore, in order to facilitate smooth sliding of the driving end 211 and the driving wheel 32, a circular protrusion may be provided on the driving end 211, and the circular protrusion is used to slide with the arc surface. The arcs slide with each other, and the sliding is smoother.

[0035] Furthermore, a circular arc groove may be provided at the ash removal end, and the circular arc groove may be used in conjunction with the circumferential outer surface of the moxa stick 50 to make the first ash removal member 21 fit more tightly with the moxa stick 50 .

[0036] Preferably, the driving member is a push rod motor 31, the push rod of the push rod motor 31 is connected to the driving wheel 32, and the driving wheel 32 can be rotated by the push rod of the push rod motor 31. Of course, the rotation of the driving wheel 32 can also be directly realized by selecting a rotary motor in the prior art.

[0037] Furthermore, a detection sensor 11 is provided on the base 10, and the detection sensor 11 is used to detect the installation position 12 and send a detection signal. The first driving mechanism drives the first dust removal member 21 to move closer to or away from the installation position 12 according to the detection signal. Specifically, when a moxa stick 50 is installed in the installation position 12, the detection sensor 11 can detect the moxa stick 50 in the installation position 12 and transmit a detection signal to the first driving mechanism, and the first driving mechanism can drive the first dust removal member 21 to move closer to the installation position 12. After the dust removal is completed, the moxa stick 50 in the installation position 12 is manually pulled out, and the detection sensor 11 can detect that the moxa stick 50 in the installation position 12 has been pulled out, so it can transmit a detection signal to the first driving mechanism to control the first driving mechanism to stop.

[0038] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned detection sensor 11 can be implemented as a through-beam sensor or a photoelectric sensor in the prior art. When the moxa stick 50 is located at the installation position 12, the light path of the photoelectric sensor can be blocked, and when the moxa stick 50 is pulled out of the installation position 12, the light path is not blocked, so that a signal can be generated.

[0039] Furthermore, the above-mentioned ash removal component also includes a second ash removal component 42 and a second driving mechanism, and the second driving mechanism is used to drive the second ash removal component 42 to move closer to or away from the installation position 12. That is, after at least two first ash removal components 21 clamp the moxa stick 50 in the installation position 12, the second ash removal component 42 can be driven by the second driving mechanism to reciprocate, colliding with the moxa stick 50 in the installation position 12, and initially vibrating the moxa stick 50 to knock off the moxa ash on the surface of the moxa stick 50.

[0040] More specifically, the second driving mechanism includes an electromagnetic push rod 41, and the push rod of the electromagnetic push rod 41 is fixedly connected to the second ash removal member 42, so that the second ash removal member 42 can be reciprocated by the push rod of the electromagnetic push rod 41. Of course, the second driving mechanism can also be realized by a cylinder in the prior art.

[0041] For those skilled in the art, various other corresponding changes and deformations can be made according to the technical solutions and concepts described above, and all of these changes and deformations should fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
