Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of incense manufacturing technology, and specifically relates to an incense cutting mechanism, incense manufacturing equipment and its control method. Background Technology

[0002] Incense sticks (also known as straight incense or grass incense) are a type of incense without a bamboo core. They are mainly composed of bone material, binder, fragrance, pigment, and auxiliary materials. Because incense sticks produce a fresh and elegant aroma, they are very effective in removing room odors and beautifying the indoor environment. Moreover, incense sticks also have the effects of calming the mind, improving sleep, and so on. Therefore, incense sticks are becoming increasingly popular.

[0003] In the incense manufacturing process, the raw material is extruded into long strips using an extrusion molding device, and then cut into individual incense sticks using a cutting device. Finally, the finished incense sticks are dried. However, existing incense manufacturing equipment generally suffers from the following problems: the cutting speed cannot match the incense extrusion speed, resulting in low overall efficiency; the produced incense sticks are of varying lengths, making it impossible to achieve uniform specifications; moreover, finished incense sticks are mixed with waste materials, requiring manual separation of the finished incense sticks, which leads to cumbersome operation, high labor input, and low efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an incense cutting mechanism, an incense manufacturing equipment and its control method, which can match the incense cutting speed with the incense extrusion speed and achieve consistent specifications of the cut incense sticks. Moreover, it can automatically separate finished incense sticks and waste materials, thereby improving the efficiency of incense manufacturing.

[0005] The technical solution adopted to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an incense stick cutting mechanism, comprising:

[0007] A reciprocating linear motion component that can move along a first direction;

[0008] A lifting frame has a lower end provided with a material-pulling knife and a cutting assembly arranged at intervals along a first direction. The material-pulling knife is rotatably connected to the lifting frame, and the rotation axis of the material-pulling knife extends along a second direction.

[0009] A lifting drive component is connected to the reciprocating linear motion component, and the output end of the lifting drive component is connected to the lifting frame to drive the lifting frame to move back and forth relative to the reciprocating linear motion component along a third direction, wherein the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other;

[0010] A rotary drive component is connected to the lifting frame, and the output end of the rotary drive component is connected to the material feeder to drive the material feeder to swing back and forth.

[0011] The incense cutting mechanism provided by this invention has at least the following beneficial effects: When using this incense cutting mechanism, the lifting frame moves downward along a third direction under the driving action of the lifting drive component, causing the feeding blade and the cutting component to work together to cut the long incense sticks. The feeding blade can cut off the waste material from the finished incense stick. At this time, the distance between the feeding blade and the cutting component in the first direction is the length of the finished incense stick. Therefore, the cut incense sticks are all of the same length. After cutting, the feeding blade swings at a certain angle under the driving action of the rotation drive component to send the waste material out in the first direction, causing the waste material to separate from the finished incense stick by a certain distance, realizing automatic separation of the two without manual operation, reducing manpower input, and helping to improve work efficiency. After feeding, the feeding blade resets to complete the next cutting and feeding work.

[0012] Furthermore, the lifting frame moves back and forth in a straight line along the first direction under the drive of the reciprocating linear motion component. During the cutting process, the lifting frame drives the feeding knife and the cutting component to move together along the first direction, so that the speed of the feeding knife and the cutting component in the first direction matches the movement speed of the incense stick. After cutting, the finished incense stick separates from the continuously extruded incense stick and moves along the first direction at the same time. This setting can prevent the continuously extruded incense stick from breaking due to the obstruction of the cutting component during the movement, thereby ensuring that the extrusion molding equipment can continuously extrude incense sticks without waiting for the cutting work to be completed. This enables the incense stick cutting mechanism to match the working speed of the extrusion molding equipment and improves the efficiency of incense stick manufacturing.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the cutting assembly includes multiple slitting blades arranged at equal intervals along the first direction, and the slitting blades extend along the second direction. With this configuration, the distance between two adjacent slitting blades is equal to the length of the incense stick. After the lifting frame moves towards the incense stick, the cutting action of the slitting blades and the feeding blades allows for the simultaneous cutting of multiple incense stick segments, thus improving the cutting efficiency of the incense stick.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the reciprocating linear motion component includes:

[0015] Support frame;

[0016] A translation frame, which is slidably connected to the support frame, and the lifting drive component is connected to the translation frame;

[0017] A translation drive component is connected to the support frame, and the output end of the translation drive component is connected to the translation frame to drive the translation frame to reciprocate linearly relative to the support frame.

[0018] The support frame provides sufficient support for the translation frame, lifting frame, etc., to ensure their stable operation; the translation frame and the support frame are connected by a sliding connection, and under the driving action of the translation drive component, the translation frame can drive the lifting drive component to move back and forth along the first direction.

[0019] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the upper end of the feeding knife is provided with a connecting plate, and the rotary drive component is a telescopic cylinder, with the opposite ends of the telescopic cylinder being hinged to the lifting frame and the connecting plate, respectively.

[0020] Since the material-picking knife is rotatably mounted on the lifting frame, and one end of the telescopic cylinder is hinged to the lifting frame and the other end is hinged to the connecting plate of the material-picking knife, when the movable rod of the telescopic cylinder extends or retracts, the material-picking knife can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise around the hinge point between it and the lifting frame, so that the material-picking knife can quickly return to its original position after picking up the material.

[0021] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the lower end of the lifting frame is provided with a pressing component, and the cutting assembly is located between the pressing component and the feeding knife. The pressing component on the lifting frame effectively presses down the incense sticks during the cutting process, preventing the continuously extruded incense sticks from curling up.

[0022] Secondly, the present invention provides an incense-making apparatus, comprising:

[0023] An extrusion molding device having a discharge port;

[0024] A first belt conveyor is provided with one end close to the discharge hole, and the conveying direction of the first belt conveyor is a first direction.

[0025] The incense cutting mechanism described in any of the above technical solutions is located above the first belt conveyor, and the cutting component is located between the discharge hole and the cutting blade.

[0026] The incense manufacturing equipment provided by this invention has at least the following beneficial effects: During the incense manufacturing process, the extrusion molding device extrudes the incense raw material through the discharge hole. Then, the continuously extruded incense moves along the first direction under the conveying action of the first belt conveyor. When the incense moves to the bottom of the incense cutting mechanism, the incense cutting mechanism will operate to cut the continuously extruded incense to separate incense products of uniform specifications. At the same time, it can separate waste material from the finished incense products. Moreover, since the movement speed of the reciprocating linear motion component is consistent with the conveying speed of the first belt conveyor, the feeding knife and the cutting component are stationary relative to the incense in the first direction. This can prevent the continuously extruded incense from accumulating, deforming, or breaking due to the obstruction of the cutting component, thereby ensuring that the extrusion molding device remains in operation and continuously extrudes incense without frequent start-stop to coordinate with the cutting work, which is conducive to improving the production efficiency of incense.

[0027] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the extrusion molding apparatus includes an extrusion cylinder and an extrusion head. The extrusion cylinder has a material cavity with a circular cross-sectional shape, and the outer peripheral surface of the extrusion head contacts the inner peripheral surface of the material cavity.

[0028] The material cavity of the extrusion cylinder is designed with a circular cross-section, which allows the outer circumference of the extrusion head to better contact and seal with the inner circumference of the material cavity. This prevents the incense raw material from leaking out through the gap between the extrusion head and the material cavity under the extrusion action, thereby improving the utilization rate of the incense raw material and avoiding material waste.

[0029] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the extrusion cylinder is provided with a forming mold, the forming mold is provided with a discharge hole, the end face of the material cavity is provided with a tapered through hole, the forming mold is embedded in the tapered through hole, and the surface of the forming mold near the material cavity is flush with the end face of the material cavity. The surface of the forming mold away from the material cavity is movably connected with a bolt, and the bolt is movably connected to the extrusion cylinder.

[0030] Because the forming mold is embedded in the tapered through hole of the extrusion cylinder, the forming mold will be in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the tapered through hole, preventing the incense raw material from leaking out through the gap between the forming mold and the extrusion cylinder and causing material waste; moreover, the end face of the forming mold and the material cavity are flush with each other, preventing the accumulation of some incense raw material and causing waste; the forming mold and the extrusion cylinder are connected by bolts, which makes the connection between the forming mold and the extrusion cylinder strong, so that the forming mold is firmly fixed relative to the extrusion cylinder and is easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0031] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the incense manufacturing equipment also includes:

[0032] The second belt conveyor has a second conveying surface capable of conveying the incense carrier plate. The second belt conveyor is located below the discharge end of the first belt conveyor. A gap is formed between the second conveying surface and the discharge end of the first belt conveyor to allow the incense carrier plate to pass through.

[0033] An interception assembly includes a linear drive component and a blocking component, the blocking component being used to block the incense carrier plate from passing through the gap, the output end of the linear drive component being connected to the blocking component to drive the blocking component to move up and down.

[0034] A second belt conveyor is installed below the first belt conveyor. The second belt conveyor transports the incense carrier plate. When the finished incense falls from the discharge end of the first belt conveyor to the second belt conveyor, it falls onto the incense carrier plate, allowing workers to dry it. An interception component is installed on the second belt conveyor. A linear drive component moves the blocking component to intercept the incense carrier plate. After the finished incense is cut, the interception is released, allowing the incense carrier plate to carry the finished incense and complete the unloading process under the conveying action of the second belt conveyor.

[0035] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the first belt conveyor includes a first conveying section and a second conveying section. The first conveying section is located between the discharge hole and the second conveying section. The conveying direction of the first conveying section is a first direction. The conveying direction of the second conveying section is inclined from top to bottom towards the second conveying surface. The intercepting component is located below the second conveying section.

[0036] In the structure of the first belt conveyor, the inclination angle of the second conveyor section is larger than that of the first conveyor section, so that the finished incense sticks can fall quickly onto the incense stick carrier under the combined action of the second conveyor section and gravity.

[0037] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the incense manufacturing equipment also includes a control system. The extrusion molding device, the first belt conveyor, and the second belt conveyor are electrically connected to the control system to match the extrusion speed of the extrusion molding device with the conveying speed of the first belt conveyor and the second belt conveyor.

[0038] This setup allows the control system to adjust the operating conditions of the extrusion molding device, the first belt conveyor, and the second belt conveyor according to the type of incense being produced. This ensures that the extrusion speed matches the conveying speed, preventing the incense from breaking due to the conveying speed of the first belt conveyor exceeding the extrusion speed. It also guarantees high incense manufacturing efficiency when producing different types of incense.

[0039] Thirdly, the present invention provides a control method for incense manufacturing equipment, applied to the incense manufacturing equipment of the above-mentioned technical solution, comprising the following steps:

[0040] The set extrusion speed of the extrusion molding device, the first set conveying speed of the first belt conveyor, and the second set conveying speed of the second belt conveyor are selected according to the type of incense; wherein the set extrusion speed, the first set conveying speed, and the second set conveying speed are matched.

[0041] Start the extrusion molding unit, the first belt conveyor, and the second belt conveyor;

[0042] Adjust the real-time extrusion speed of the extrusion molding device to reach the set extrusion speed, adjust the real-time conveying speed of the first belt conveyor to reach the first set conveying speed, and adjust the real-time conveying speed of the second belt conveyor to reach the second set conveying speed.

[0043] The control method for incense manufacturing equipment provided by this invention has at least the following beneficial effects: Workers can select the production function of the incense manufacturing equipment according to the type of incense to be manufactured. The incense manufacturing equipment will adjust the working conditions of the extrusion molding device, the first belt conveyor, and the second belt conveyor according to the worker's selection, respectively controlling the real-time extrusion speed of the extrusion molding device to reach the set extrusion speed, the real-time conveying speed of the first belt conveyor to reach the first set conveying speed, and the real-time conveying speed of the second belt conveyor to reach the second set conveying speed. This ensures that the real-time extrusion speed and the real-time conveying speed are matched, preventing the incense from breaking due to the real-time conveying speed of the first belt conveyor exceeding the real-time extrusion speed. Furthermore, it ensures high incense production efficiency during the manufacturing of different types of incense. Attached Figure Description

[0059] Reference Figures 1 to 8 The following are several embodiments of the incense cutting mechanism, incense manufacturing equipment and control method of the present invention.

[0060] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides an incense stick cutting mechanism 200, which can be applied in incense stick manufacturing equipment to complete the incense stick cutting process. Using this incense stick cutting mechanism 200, the cutting speed of the incense sticks can be matched with the extrusion speed, effectively improving the production efficiency of incense sticks. At the same time, the incense stick cutting mechanism 200 can ensure that all cut incense sticks have a consistent length, avoiding inconsistent lengths in the finished incense sticks.

[0061] Furthermore, the incense cutting mechanism 200 can automatically separate finished incense sticks from waste incense sticks, avoiding the need for manual separation due to confusion between finished and waste incense sticks, thereby reducing manpower input and improving the efficiency of incense stick manufacturing.

[0062] The structure of the incense stick cutting mechanism 200 includes a reciprocating linear motion component, a lifting frame 250, a lifting drive component 240, and a rotary drive component.

[0063] The reciprocating linear motion component can move along a first direction. This first direction can be horizontal or inclined. In this embodiment, when the incense cutting mechanism 200 is applied in an incense manufacturing device, the first direction is inclined; specifically, the first direction is inclined downwards from back to front, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown. It can be understood that the reciprocating linear motion component can move along the first direction and then move in the opposite direction of the first direction, thereby forming a reciprocating motion cycle.

[0064] In some embodiments, the reciprocating linear motion component includes a support frame 220, a translation frame 210, and a translation drive component 230.

[0065] The support frame 220 provides support for the translation frame 210 and the translation drive component 230, and also facilitates the installation of the incense cutting mechanism 200 at the corresponding position on the incense manufacturing equipment.

[0066] The translation frame 210 and the support frame 220 are connected by a sliding connection, allowing the translation frame 210 to move relative to the support frame 220 in a first direction. It is understood that a guide rail slide structure or an optical axis guide block structure can be provided between the translation frame 210 and the support frame 220 to ensure stable linear movement of the translation frame 210 relative to the support frame 220. In this embodiment, sliders 211 are installed on the left and right sides of the translation frame 210, and guide rods are correspondingly provided on the support frame 220; the sliders 211 are slidably connected to the guide rods.

[0067] The translation drive component 230 is fixed to the support frame 220 by bolts. The output end of the translation drive component 230 is fixedly connected to the translation frame 210. After the translation drive component 230 is started, the translation frame 210 will reciprocate linearly relative to the support frame 220 under the driving action of the translation drive component 230.

[0068] It is understood that the translation drive component 230 can be a linear drive device such as an electric cylinder, pneumatic cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or linear module. In this embodiment, the translation drive component 230 uses a pneumatic cylinder, with the cylinder's movable rod being the output end. Since the translation drive component 230 is located below the translation frame 210, and the translation frame 210 is provided with a connector 212, which can be a metal plate, the cylinder's movable rod can be fixedly connected to the connector 212 via a fisheye connector. When the cylinder's movable rod extends or retracts, the translation frame 210 will reciprocate along the first direction.

[0069] The number of cylinders can be one or two. If two cylinders are provided, they are arranged at intervals along the second direction. In this embodiment, the second direction is the left-right direction.

[0070] The lower end of the lifting frame 250 is provided with a cutting assembly and a material-pulling blade 270. The cutting assembly and the material-pulling blade 270 are arranged at certain intervals along the first direction.

[0071] The cutting assembly can be fixed to the lifting frame 250 by welding or bolting. The cutting assembly is used to cut long incense sticks into segments of finished incense sticks. A cutting blade 270 is rotatably connected to the lifting frame 250, and the axis of rotation of the cutting blade 270 extends along a second direction, perpendicular to the first direction. Specifically, the opposite ends of the cutting blade 270 can be mounted on the lifting frame 250 via pivots, allowing the cutting blade 270 to swing relative to the lifting frame 250 around these pivots, which extend along the second direction.

[0072] In some embodiments, the cutting assembly includes a slitting blade 260, with its opposite ends extending along a second direction. A certain distance exists between the slitting blade 260 and the material-removing blade 270, which is equal to the length of the finished incense stick. The slitting blade 260 and the material-removing blade 270 together cut the long incense stick. The incense stick located between the slitting blade 260 and the material-removing blade 270 is the finished incense stick, while the incense stick located on the side of the material-removing blade 270 away from the slitting blade 260 is incense waste. The function of the material-removing blade 270 is not only to cooperate with the slitting blade 260 in cutting incense sticks of the same length each time, but also to separate the incense waste from the finished incense stick.

[0073] In other embodiments, the cutting assembly includes multiple slitting blades 260, all of which are arranged at equal intervals along a first direction and extend along a second direction. Therefore, the incense sticks located between two adjacent slitting blades 260 are also incense stick products. The distance between two adjacent slitting blades 260 is equal to the distance between the slitting blade 260 closest to the feeding blade 270 and the feeding blade 270. During the cutting process, multiple incense sticks of uniform length can be cut simultaneously, which helps improve the cutting efficiency of incense sticks.

[0074] It is understood that the number of slitting blades 260 can be selected according to the actual situation, and no specific limitation is made here. In this embodiment, the second direction is the left-right direction.

[0075] The lifting drive component 240 is fixedly connected to the reciprocating linear motion component, therefore, the lifting drive component 240 can move along the first direction together with the reciprocating linear motion component. In this embodiment, the lifting drive component 240 can be bolted to the translation frame 210.

[0076] The output end of the lifting drive component 240 is fixedly connected to the lifting frame 250. When the lifting drive component 240 is working, the output end of the lifting drive component 240 can drive the lifting frame 250 to move along a third direction. At this time, the lifting frame 250 can move back and forth relative to the reciprocating linear motion component in the third direction. Moreover, under the connection of the lifting drive component 240, the lifting frame 250 will move simultaneously with the reciprocating linear motion component along the first direction.

[0077] The third direction is perpendicular to the first and second directions. It can be understood that if the first direction is forward / backward and the second direction is left / right, then the third direction is up / down. If the first direction slopes downward from back to front and the second direction is left / right, then the third direction slopes downward from front to back.

[0078] It is understood that the lifting drive component 240 can be a linear drive device such as a cylinder, electric cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or motor screw mechanism. The number of lifting drive components 240 is not limited to one or two. In this embodiment, the lifting drive component 240 uses cylinders, and there are four cylinders arranged in an array. The cylinder bodies are fixed to the translation frame 210 with bolts, and the moving rods of the cylinders can be fixedly connected to the lifting frame 250 through a fisheye joint. To make the movement of the lifting frame 250 more stable, a guide rail slide structure or a guide shaft sleeve structure can be provided between the lifting frame 250 and the translation frame 210.

[0079] The rotary drive component is mounted on the lifting frame 250 and can move along the third direction together with the lifting frame 250. The output end of the rotary drive component is connected to the material feeder 270. When the rotary drive component is in working condition, the output end of the rotary drive component can drive the material feeder 270 to swing back and forth around its connection point with the lifting frame 250.

[0080] In some embodiments, the rotary drive component is a rotary cylinder, and the rotary table of the rotary cylinder is connected to the rotating shaft on the feed cutter 270. In other embodiments, the rotary drive component is a motor.

[0081] In this embodiment, the rotary drive component is a telescopic cylinder 280, and a connecting plate 271 is provided at the upper end of the feeding knife 270. The two opposite ends of the telescopic cylinder 280 are respectively hinged to the connecting plate 271 and the lifting frame 250.

[0082] Understandably, since the material-dispensing blade 270 is rotatably mounted on the lifting frame 250, and one end of the telescopic cylinder 280 is hinged to the lifting frame 250 and the other end is hinged to the connecting plate 271 of the material-dispensing blade 270, when the movable rod of the telescopic cylinder 280 extends or retracts, the material-dispensing blade 270 can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise around its hinge point with the lifting frame 250, causing the material-dispensing blade 270 to quickly return to its original position after dispensing material. The swing angle of the material-dispensing blade 270 can be 30°, 45°, 60°, etc., and is not specifically limited here.

[0083] In some embodiments, a pressing member 290 is provided at the lower end of the lifting frame 250. The opposite ends of the pressing member 290 extend along a second direction. The pressing member 290 may be L-shaped and is fixed to the lower surface of the lifting frame 250 by welding. The cutting assembly is located between the pressing member 290 and the cutting blade 270. The function of the pressing member 290 is to press down the incense stick.

[0084] It is understood that the incense sticks located between the cutting assembly and the feed knife 270 are the incense sticks to be cut, while the incense sticks located between the cutting assembly and the pressing component 290 are the continuously extruded incense sticks. During the cutting process, the lifting frame 250 moves the feed knife 270, the cutting assembly, and the pressing component 290 close to the incense sticks. The feed knife 270 and the cutting assembly cut the incense sticks, while the pressing component 290 applies a certain amount of pressure to the incense sticks, preventing them from being crushed and also avoiding the problem of continuously extruded incense sticks curling up. The pressing component 290 can be made of metal or plastic.

[0085] In some embodiments, the slitting blade 260 includes a blade body and a blade edge. Limiting plates are provided on both sides of the blade body in a first direction. The limiting plates are located above the blade edge, and there is a certain gap between the limiting plates and the blade edge. When the blade edge completely cuts the incense stick, the limiting plates will press down on the incense stick.

[0086] In the process of using the incense cutting mechanism 200 of the above embodiment, the lifting drive component 240 drives the lifting frame 250 to move downward along the third direction, so that the feeding knife 270 and the cutting component can work together to cut the long incense sticks. The feeding knife 270 will cut off the excess waste from the finished incense stick. At this time, the distance between the feeding knife 270 and the cutting component in the first direction is the length of the finished incense stick. Therefore, the incense sticks cut by the incense cutting mechanism 200 are all of the same length, achieving the purpose of uniform incense stick specifications.

[0087] When cutting is complete, the rotary drive component causes the feeding blade 270 to swing at a certain angle, quickly conveying the cut incense waste in the first direction. This separates the excess incense waste from the finished incense, achieving automatic separation of the finished incense and waste without manual intervention, reducing labor input and improving work efficiency. After feeding, the feeding blade 270 swings in the opposite direction under the action of the rotary drive component, automatically resetting itself so that it can perform the next cutting and feeding operation.

[0088] Furthermore, during the cutting process, the reciprocating linear motion component drives the lifting frame 250 to move back and forth in a straight line along the first direction. Specifically, when cutting incense sticks, due to the driving force of the reciprocating linear motion component, the lifting frame 250 drives the feeding blade 270 and the cutting assembly to move together along the first direction, so that the feeding blade 270 and the cutting assembly have a moving speed in the first direction that matches the movement speed of the incense sticks. That is, in the first direction, the feeding blade 270 and the cutting assembly are stationary relative to the incense sticks. After cutting, the finished incense sticks are separated from the continuously extruded incense sticks, and the finished incense sticks and the continuously extruded incense sticks can move simultaneously along the first direction.

[0089] Understandably, without reciprocating linear motion components, when incense sticks need to be cut, the extrusion molding device 100 is typically stopped, and the incense sticks are brought to a standstill so that the cutting component can cut them. If the extrusion molding device 100 is not stopped, during the incense cutting process, the continuously extruded incense sticks will be obstructed by the cutting component, causing them to accumulate and deform, or even break. If the extrusion molding device 100 is stopped, but the incense sticks are still moving, then the continuously extruded incense sticks may be pulled apart.

[0090] With the reciprocating linear motion component, the incense cutting mechanism 200 can prevent the continuously extruded incense from accumulating, deforming, or even breaking due to the obstruction of the cutting component during the movement. This ensures that the extrusion molding equipment can continuously extrude incense without frequent start-stop to wait for the cutting work to be completed. It also enables the incense cutting mechanism 200 to match the working speed of the extrusion molding equipment, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of incense manufacturing.

[0091] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an incense manufacturing device, the structure of which includes an extrusion molding device 100, a first belt conveyor device 300, and an incense cutting mechanism 200 as described in the above embodiment.

[0092] The extrusion molding device 100 has a discharge hole 128 so that the incense raw material can be extruded through the discharge hole 128 by extrusion to form a continuous long strip of incense.

[0093] It is understood that the extrusion molding apparatus 100 includes an extrusion cylinder 120, a hydraulic cylinder 110, and an extrusion head 125. The extrusion cylinder 120 has a material cavity 122, and the extrusion head 125 is disposed within the material cavity 122. The outer peripheral surface of the extrusion head 125 contacts the inner peripheral surface of the material cavity 122, and the extrusion head 125 can slide relative to the material cavity 122 along the extending direction of the material cavity 122. The hydraulic cylinder 110 has a linearly movable rod, one end of which passes through the extrusion cylinder 120, extends into the material cavity 122, and is fixedly connected to the extrusion head 125.

[0094] When the hydraulic cylinder 110 is running, the extrusion head 125 pushes the incense raw material in the material chamber 122 towards the discharge hole 128. Through extrusion, the incense raw material is squeezed out of the discharge hole 128. Since the discharge hole 128 is a round hole, a long, cylindrical incense stick is formed. The number of discharge holes 128 can be set according to actual conditions and is not specifically limited here.

[0095] In this embodiment, the discharge hole 128 is located on the front end face of the extrusion cylinder 120.

[0096] One end of the first belt conveyor 300 is positioned near the discharge hole 128 so that the first belt conveyor 300 can receive the incense sticks extruded from the discharge hole 128. The conveying direction of the first belt conveyor 300 is a first direction. In this embodiment, the first direction is inclined downward from back to front. The first belt conveyor 300 has a first conveying surface, and the continuously extruded incense sticks will move along the first direction under the action of the first conveying surface.

[0097] The incense stick cutting mechanism 200 is positioned above the first belt conveyor 300. The incense stick cutting mechanism 200 cuts the incense sticks located on the first conveyor surface. The cutting assembly is located between the discharge hole 128 and the cutting blade 270. Therefore, the cutting assembly and the cutting blade 270 can continuously cut the incense sticks, while the cutting blade 270 can separate excess waste material from the finished incense sticks.

[0098] When using the aforementioned incense manufacturing equipment to produce incense, the extrusion molding device 100 continuously extrudes the incense raw material from the material chamber 122 to the outlet 128. Then, the continuously extruded incense moves along a first direction under the conveying action of the first belt conveyor 300. When the incense moves to the area below the incense cutting mechanism 200, the incense cutting mechanism 200 is activated. The cutting component and the feed cutter 270 work together to cut the continuously extruded incense to produce finished incense sticks of the same length. At the same time, the feed cutter 270, under the action of the rotating drive component, can separate waste material from the finished incense sticks.

[0099] Furthermore, since the reciprocating linear motion component moves at the same speed as the first belt conveyor 300, the cutting blade 270 and the cutting assembly maintain the same speed as the incense stick in the first direction. That is, the cutting blade 270 and the cutting assembly remain stationary relative to the incense stick in the first direction during the cutting process. This avoids the problem of continuously extruded incense sticks accumulating, deforming, or breaking due to the obstruction of the cutting assembly, thereby preventing the generation of more waste and improving the utilization rate of incense stick raw materials. At the same time, it can also ensure that the extrusion molding device 100 remains in operation and continuously extrudes incense sticks without the need for frequent start-ups and shutdowns to coordinate with the cutting work, which is conducive to improving the production efficiency of incense sticks.

[0100] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the material chamber 122 of the extrusion cylinder 120 is cuboid in shape.

[0101] In other embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the extrusion cylinder 120 has a hollow cylindrical material cavity 122, and the inner circumferential surface of the material cavity 122 is in seamless contact with the outer circumferential surface of the extrusion head 125.

[0102] It is understandable that designing the cross-sectional shape of the material cavity 122 as a circle allows the outer peripheral surface of the extrusion head 125 to better contact the inner peripheral surface of the material cavity 122, thus achieving a good sealing effect. This effectively prevents the incense raw material from leaking out through the gap between the extrusion head 125 and the material cavity 122 under the extrusion action of the extrusion head 125, thereby improving the utilization rate of the incense raw material and avoiding waste of incense materials.

[0103] The extrusion cylinder 120 comprises a cylinder body 121, a front end cap 123, and a rear end cap 124. The cylinder body 121 is cylindrical. The front end cap 123 is located on the front side of the cylinder body 121, and the rear end cap 124 is located on the rear side of the cylinder body 121. The front end cap 123 and the rear end cap 124 are fixed to the cylinder body 121, so that the front end cap 123, the cylinder body 121, and the rear end cap 124 together form a material cavity 122. A feed inlet is provided at the upper part of the cylinder body 121, which communicates with the material cavity 122, so that the operator can put the mixed incense raw materials into the material cavity 122.

[0104] The rear end cover 124 has a through hole so that the movable rod of the hydraulic cylinder 110 can extend into the material chamber 122 and be fixedly connected to the extrusion head 125. The front end of the extrusion head 125 is an extrusion section made of rubber material, and the rear end of the extrusion head 125 is a connecting section made of metal material. The Brinell hardness of the extrusion section is 65HB. The rear end face of the extrusion head 125 is provided with reinforcing ribs 129. The reinforcing ribs 129 are right-angled plates, and there are multiple reinforcing ribs 129 arranged in a circumferential manner.

[0105] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the extrusion cylinder 120 is provided with a forming mold 127, the forming mold 127 is provided with a discharge hole 128, and the forming mold 127 is detachably connected to the extrusion cylinder 120 so that the staff can change different forming molds 127 according to the shape and size of the incense stick.

[0106] A tapered through hole 126 is provided on the end face of the material cavity 122, penetrating both the inside and outside of the material cavity 122. A forming mold 127 is fitted into the tapered through hole 126, and the surface of the forming mold 127 near the material cavity 122 is flush with the end face of the material cavity 122. In this embodiment, the forming mold 127 is a square plate, and its four sides are inclined surfaces, so that the forming mold 127 can cooperate with the tapered through hole 126.

[0107] Of course, it is possible that the forming mold 127 is a frustum-shaped plate, in which case the tapered through hole 126 is a frustum-shaped through hole.

[0108] Understandably, by embedding the molding die 127 into the tapered through hole 126 of the extrusion cylinder 120, the molding die 127 is in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the tapered through hole 126, effectively preventing the incense raw material from leaking out through the gap between the molding die 127 and the extrusion cylinder 120, thus avoiding waste of incense material. Moreover, the end faces of the molding die 127 and the material cavity 122 are flush with each other, preventing some incense raw material from accumulating in the uneven area between the molding die 127 and the material cavity 122, thus avoiding waste.

[0109] Furthermore, bolts are provided on the surface of the molding die 127 away from the material cavity 122. Specifically, both the molding die 127 and the extrusion cylinder 120 are provided with screw holes, and the bolts can be screwed into or out of the screw holes. This arrangement enables the bolts to be movably connected to the molding die 127 and the extrusion cylinder 120 respectively.

[0110] A bolted connection is used between the molding die 127 and the extrusion cylinder 120, creating a strong connection between them. This ensures that the molding die 127 is firmly fixed relative to the extrusion cylinder 120 and allows for easy disassembly and replacement of the molding die 127. In this embodiment, the operator can use a screwdriver to rotate the bolts located outside the material cavity 122. After releasing the bolts, the molding die 127 can be removed from the material cavity 122.

[0111] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the incense manufacturing equipment also includes a second belt conveyor 400 and an interception assembly.

[0112] The second belt conveyor 400 has a second conveying surface, which is horizontal. In this embodiment, the conveying direction of the second conveying surface is from back to front. The second conveying surface can convey the incense carrier plate. The second belt conveyor 400 is located below the first belt conveyor 300, and the second conveying surface is located below the discharge end of the first belt conveyor 300, so that the incense carrier plate on the second conveying surface can receive the finished incense sticks conveyed from the first belt conveyor 300. Furthermore, a certain gap is formed between the second conveying surface and the discharge end of the first belt conveyor 300, which allows the incense carrier plate to pass through.

[0113] Understandably, the upper surface of the incense holder is recessed to form a groove for accommodating the finished incense stick. The incense holder may be equipped with a cushioning pad, such as a sponge, so that the finished incense stick remains intact after falling onto the incense holder.

[0114] The interception assembly includes a blocking component 430 and a linear drive component 420.

[0115] The function of the blocking member 430 is to block the incense stick carrier from passing through the gap between the second conveyor surface and the first belt conveyor 300, and to control each incense stick carrier to pass through the gap at a certain time interval. The output end of the linear drive component 420 is connected to the blocking member 430. When the linear drive component 420 is working, the blocking member 430 will move up and down under the driving action of the linear drive component 420.

[0116] Understandably, the blocking component 430 can be a baffle or a stop lever, and its shape is not limited. The linear drive component 420 can be a linear drive device such as an electric cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder.

[0117] In this embodiment, the blocking member 430 is a round rod, and the linear drive component 420 is a cylinder. Furthermore, the second belt conveyor 400 includes a belt conveyor 410 and a support base. Support bases are provided at both ends of the round rod, and each support base has an elongated hole extending in the vertical direction. The end of the round rod is inserted into the elongated hole, allowing the round rod to move along the extension direction of the elongated hole. Cylinders are provided on both the left and right sides of the belt conveyor 410. The piston rods of the cylinders extend in the vertical direction and abut against the lower end of the round rod. This arrangement facilitates cylinder maintenance.

[0118] When the piston rod of the cylinder extends, the round rod is lifted, thus releasing the obstruction effect on the incense carrier plate, allowing it to pass smoothly through the gap between the second conveyor surface and the first belt conveyor 300. When the piston rod of the cylinder retracts, the round rod moves downward due to gravity, at which point it obstructs the incense carrier plate, causing it to stop and preventing it from passing through the gap between the second conveyor surface and the first belt conveyor 300.

[0119] Understandably, when the finished incense sticks fall from the discharge end of the first belt conveyor 300 to the second belt conveyor 400, they will fall onto the incense stick carrier plate, allowing workers to dry them. An intercepting component is installed on the second belt conveyor 400. A linear drive component 420 drives a blocking component 430 to intercept the incense stick carrier plate. After the finished incense sticks are cut, the interception is released, allowing the carrier plate to smoothly receive the finished incense sticks and complete the unloading process under the conveying action of the second belt conveyor 400.

[0120] Understandably, the incense carrier plate can be divided into a waste area and a finished product area. After the material separating blade 270 separates the incense waste from the finished incense, the waste will first fall into the waste area, and then the finished incense will fall into the finished product area. Alternatively, a waste recycling plate and an incense carrier plate can be used simultaneously. The upper surface of the waste recycling plate has a recessed waste area. The waste recycling plate first collects the incense waste conveyed from the first belt conveyor 300 through the gap between the second conveyor surface and the first belt conveyor 300. Then, the incense carrier plate receives the finished incense conveyed from the first belt conveyor 300 through the gap between the second conveyor surface and the first belt conveyor 300. Therefore, it avoids the mixing of incense waste and finished incense, thus preventing the need for manual waste removal.

[0121] It is understandable that the first belt conveyor 300 and the second belt conveyor 400 can be supported by the base frame 500. Similarly, the extrusion molding device 100 can also be strongly supported by the base frame 500. Furthermore, the same motor can be used to simultaneously drive the first belt conveyor 300 and the second belt conveyor 400 through a synchronous belt drive structure.

[0122] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first belt conveyor 300 includes a first conveying section and a second conveying section. The first conveying section is located between the discharge hole 128 and the second conveying section. The conveying direction of the first conveying section is a first direction, while the conveying direction of the second conveying section is inclined downwards towards the second conveying surface. This design results in the inclination angle of the second conveying section being greater than that of the first conveying section, causing the finished incense sticks to fall quickly onto the incense stick carrier plate under the conveying action of the second conveying section and their own gravity. Moreover, since the incense waste moves to the second conveying section before the finished incense sticks, the incense waste can be quickly recycled, improving the separation effect between the incense waste and the finished incense sticks and preventing them from mixing together.

[0123] In this embodiment, the interception component is located below the second conveying section.

[0124] In some embodiments, the incense-making equipment also includes a control system.

[0125] The control system is electrically connected to the extrusion molding device 100, the first belt conveyor 300 and the second belt conveyor 400 respectively, and can send control commands to them. Moreover, the control system can be used to match the extrusion speed of the extrusion molding device 100 with the conveying speed of the first belt conveyor 300 and the second belt conveyor 400.

[0126] Understandably, the control system can be a PLC control system, which is equipped with a control panel so that operators can click to select functions and operate related electrical components.

[0127] Since the extrusion speed of the extrusion molding device 100 varies when producing different types of incense, the above-mentioned setup allows operators to adjust the operating status (such as opening / closing and running speed) of the extrusion molding device 100, the first belt conveyor 300, and the second belt conveyor 400 according to the type of incense being produced. This ensures that the extrusion speed of the extrusion molding device 100 matches the conveying speeds of the first belt conveyor 300 and the second belt conveyor 400, preventing the incense from breaking due to the conveying speed of the first belt conveyor 300 exceeding the extrusion speed, which would reduce incense manufacturing efficiency. Furthermore, this setup guarantees high incense manufacturing efficiency when producing different types of incense.

[0128] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this embodiment of the invention also provides a control method for an incense-making device, which is applied to the incense-making device described in the above embodiment.

[0129] The control method for incense manufacturing equipment includes the following steps:

[0130] Step S1: Select the set extrusion speed of the extrusion molding device 100, the first set conveying speed of the first belt conveyor 300, and the second set conveying speed of the second belt conveyor 400 according to the type of incense. The set extrusion speed, the first set conveying speed, and the second set conveying speed are matched.

[0131] Understandably, when programming the control system of the incense manufacturing equipment, people can set the extrusion speed of the extrusion molding device 100, the first set conveying speed of the first belt conveyor 300, and the second set conveying speed of the second belt conveyor 400 according to actual experience for different types of incense.

[0132] Some incense sticks can be extruded at a fast speed. In this case, the conveying speed of the first belt conveyor 300 and the second belt conveyor 400 should be increased to speed up the feeding process. Some incense sticks can only be extruded at a slow speed. Therefore, the conveying speed of the first belt conveyor 300 and the second belt conveyor 400 should be reduced to prevent the continuous breaking of incense sticks and to ensure that the incense stick carrier plate can properly support the finished incense sticks.

[0133] Step S2: Start the extrusion molding device 100, the first belt conveyor device 300, and the second belt conveyor device 400.

[0134] Step S3: Adjust the real-time conveying speed of the first belt conveyor 300 to reach the first set conveying speed.

[0135] Step S4: Adjust the real-time conveying speed of the second belt conveyor 400 to reach the second set conveying speed.

[0136] Step S5: Adjust the real-time extrusion speed of the extrusion molding device 100 to reach the set extrusion speed.

[0137] It is understood that in step S2, the first belt conveyor 300, the extrusion molding device 100, and the second belt conveyor 400 can be started simultaneously or in any order. Steps S3, S4, and S5 can be executed in the above order, simultaneously, or in any order.

[0138] The incense manufacturing equipment adopts the above-mentioned control method, which allows the staff to manually select the production function of the incense manufacturing equipment according to the type of incense to be produced. The control system of the incense manufacturing equipment will adjust the working conditions of the extrusion molding device 100, the first belt conveyor device 300 and the second belt conveyor device 400 according to the staff's selection. The real-time extrusion speed of the extrusion molding device 100 will be adjusted to the set extrusion speed, the real-time conveying speed of the first belt conveyor device 300 will be adjusted to the first set conveying speed, and the real-time conveying speed of the second belt conveyor device 400 will be adjusted to the second set conveying speed.

[0139] Therefore, it can make the real-time extrusion speed match the real-time conveying speed of the first belt conveyor 300 and the real-time conveying speed of the second belt conveyor 400 respectively, so as to avoid the continuous breaking of incense sticks due to the real-time conveying speed of the first belt conveyor 300 being greater than the real-time extrusion speed; and, in the process of manufacturing different types of incense sticks, it can ensure fast feeding speed, thereby ensuring high incense stick production efficiency.

[0140] In some embodiments, the set extrusion speed is set to be consistent with the first set conveying speed. Therefore, the movement speed of the continuously extruded incense sticks is equal to the conveying speed of the incense sticks by the first belt conveyor 300, and the continuous incense sticks on the first belt conveyor 300 are stationary relative to the first conveying surface.

[0141] Furthermore, a safety light curtain is installed at the discharge port 128 of the extrusion molding device 100, and the safety light curtain is electrically connected to the control system. The function of the safety light curtain is to detect whether there is incense stick at the discharge port 128. When the extrusion molding device 100 is started, the long incense stick is extruded through the discharge port 128. At this time, the safety light curtain generates a detection signal and sends it to the control system.

[0142] Since the distance L between the discharge hole 128 and the feed cutter 270 is constant before the cutting operation, and the continuous movement speed v of the incense stick is known, the first time T required for the incense stick to reach the feed cutter 270 from the discharge hole 128 can be calculated. When the control system receives the detection signal from the safety light curtain, it starts timing; when the time t accumulates to the first time T, the incense stick cutting mechanism 200 can be controlled to work.

[0143] Furthermore, since the reciprocating linear motion component moves at the same speed as the first belt conveyor 300 conveys the incense sticks, a good cutting effect can be achieved, preventing the continuously extruded incense sticks from accumulating, deforming, or breaking. At the same time, the amount of incense waste can be reduced, and the utilization rate of incense raw materials can be improved, thereby enhancing the economic benefits of the enterprise.

[0144] Understandably, the control system will simultaneously adjust the movement speed of the reciprocating linear motion component and the real-time conveying speed of the first belt conveyor 300 to make them the same. Furthermore, considering the possibility that the incense sticks might be cut before reaching the cutting blade 270 due to a certain error, the control system can only control the incense stick cutting mechanism 200 to operate when time t accumulates to the sum of the first time T and the error time ΔT, ensuring that the cut incense sticks are of consistent length and minimizing incense waste.

[0145] It is understandable that the distance between the feeding blade 270 and the last cutting blade 260 can be kept constant and set as S. For the subsequent incense stick cutting work, since the distance S and the continuous incense stick movement speed v are known, the time T1 can be obtained. At this time, it means that the cutting component will act after each incense stick cutting, and apply the cutting action to the subsequent continuous incense sticks.

[0146] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and these equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
