Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wormwood processing equipment, and in particular to an automated production equipment for moxa sticks. Background Art

[0002] Moxa sticks are cylindrical long rolls made of moxa wrapped in cotton paper. They are mainly used for moxibustion, which is one of the oldest medical techniques in China and belongs to the external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine. The main component of moxa sticks is moxa, which is a soft substance made by crushing dried moxa leaves after removing impurities. Moxa leaves have the effects of warming the meridians and dispelling cold, removing dampness and relieving pain, stopping bleeding, warming the lungs and removing phlegm and relieving cough. When making moxa sticks, it is necessary to take old moxa leaves (that is, moxa leaves that have been placed for at least 1 year, 3 to 5 years is better) and repeatedly dry and pound, screen, remove impurities, and make it soft and fine like cotton before use. Then wrap the moxa with cotton paper and roll it into a cylindrical long strip. The specifications of moxa sticks include diameter, length, purity of moxa, etc. The diameter is generally between 4mm and 50mm, and the length is between 2mm and 300mm.

[0003] In the prior art, moxa sticks are usually manually wrapped and rolled into cylindrical strips. During the operation, cotton paper is spread flat, and a sufficient amount of moxa is spread flat on the cotton paper and then wrapped. In this method, firstly, the amount of moxa placed cannot be manually controlled, and the operation is inconvenient during wrapping; at the same time, the processing of moxa is complicated and time-consuming, including picking, drying, chopping, steaming and drying, etc. to obtain moxa; moxa oil is usually extracted from the stems of mugwort, which has a rich aroma and unique pharmacological effects. Because the processing of moxa is time-consuming, part of the moxa oil evaporates during the processing of the moxa. After the moxa is rolled into moxa sticks, the effect is poor, the smell is unpleasant and full in clinical moxibustion therapy, which has a certain impact on its promotion and use. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention is intended to provide an automated moxa stick production device, so as to provide a device suitable for producing moxa sticks.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] An automated moxa stick production device comprises a frame, on which a sleeve, a first cylinder and a second cylinder are fixedly provided, wherein the movable ends of the first cylinder and the second cylinder are respectively fixedly sleeved with an extrusion plate located in the sleeve; the device also comprises an annular cylinder coaxially rotatably connected to the sleeve, wherein the annular cylinder is fixedly provided with an extrusion block, wherein the thickness of the extrusion block gradually decreases along the circumferential direction; the sleeve is fixedly provided with an oil spray bag abutting against the extrusion block, wherein the oil spray bag is connected with an oil spray head extending into the sleeve, and the frame is also fixedly provided with a motor for driving the annular cylinder to rotate.

[0007] Working principle of the present invention:

[0008] In this scheme, fluffy moxa is added into the sleeve and moxa oil is added into the oil spray bag. The moxa is located between the extrusion plates on both sides. At this time, the annular cylinder is driven to rotate by the motor, and the annular cylinder drives the extrusion block to rotate. The rotation direction of the extrusion block is the same as the direction in which the thickness gradually increases along the circumferential direction, so that the extrusion block squeezes the oil spray bag, and the moxa oil in the oil spray bag is sprayed into the fluffy moxa through the oil spray head. Then, the extrusion plate is driven to move by the first cylinder and the second cylinder, and the extrusion plates on both sides move toward each other to compress the fluffy moxa to form a columnar moxa stick. Then, the extrusion plate on one side is withdrawn from the sleeve, and the extrusion plate on the other side pushes the columnar moxa stick out of the sleeve. The moxa stick is manually wrapped with cotton paper and rolled into moxa sticks.

[0009] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0010] 1. This solution puts a certain amount of moxa into a sleeve and squeezes it into a moxa stick, and then manually wraps the moxa stick to make a moxa stick, that is, the moxa is first shaped into a column. Compared with the prior art, the moxa does not need to be shaped manually, and the cotton paper can be quickly wrapped, which improves production efficiency. 2. By spraying moxa oil on the fluffy moxa, the moxa oil is evenly distributed on the moxa. The moxa oil has a rich fragrance and unique pharmacological effects, which improves the clinical use effect of moxa sticks and achieves the purpose of pleasant and full smell.

[0011] Optimally, the sleeve is fixedly provided with a refueling bag, and an oil delivery pipe is provided between the oil spraying bag and the refueling bag. The volume of the refueling bag is much larger than that of the oil spraying bag, and a sufficient amount of wormwood oil is injected into the refueling bag in advance, and the refueling bag delivers oil to the oil spraying bag through the oil delivery pipe, while the volume of the oil spraying bag is small and fixed, so that a fixed amount of wormwood oil is sprayed into the sleeve each time.

[0012] Optimally, the oil delivery pipe is provided with a one-way valve that is connected to the oil spraying bag. The flow direction of the mugwort oil is controlled by the one-way valve, so that the mugwort oil is delivered to the oil spraying bag in one direction.

[0013] Optimally, the number of the spraying capsules is multiple and they are evenly arranged along the axial direction of the sleeve. Multiple spraying capsules spray moxa oil multiple times toward the inside of the sleeve at the same time, thereby increasing the coverage of moxa oil on moxa wool, making the moxa oil more evenly distributed, improving the clinical use effect of moxa sticks, and achieving the purpose of having a pleasant and full smell.

[0014] Optimally, the sleeve is provided with a groove for accommodating the oil spraying bag, the oil spraying bag is fixedly arranged in the groove, the groove is slidably connected with a sliding plate, and the sliding plate abuts against the extrusion block. When the annular cylinder rotates, the extrusion block pushes the sliding plate to slide toward the oil spraying bag, and the sliding plate squeezes the oil spraying bag, which can improve the extrusion efficiency of the oil spraying bag and achieve the purpose of fully squeezing the oil spraying bag.

[0015] Optimally, a plurality of the spraying bags are staggered on the circumference. The uniformity of the spraying of the wormwood oil is improved by using a plurality of staggered spraying bags. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in this scheme, fluffy moxa 8 is added into the sleeve 3, moxa oil is added into the oil delivery bag, and then flows into the oil spray bag 12 through the oil delivery pipe 11. The moxa 8 is located between the extrusion plates 6 on both sides, and the moxa 8 is in a fluffy state, so that there are many gaps inside the moxa 8 for the moxa oil molecules to enter. At this time, the annular cylinder 4 is driven by the motor 5 to rotate counterclockwise, and the annular cylinder 4 drives the extrusion block 7 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the extrusion block 7 squeezes the oil spray bag 12, and the moxa oil in the oil spray bag 12 is sprayed into the fluffy moxa 8 through the oil delivery pipe 11 and the oil spray head 9, and then the extrusion plate 6 is driven to move by the first cylinder 2 and the second cylinder 2, and the extrusion plates 6 on both sides move toward each other to compress the fluffy moxa 8 to form a columnar moxa 8 rod, and then the extrusion plate 6 on one side withdraws from the sleeve 3, and the extrusion plate 6 on the other side pushes the columnar moxa 8 rod out of the sleeve 3, and the moxa 8 rod is manually wrapped with cotton paper to roll the moxa 8 rod into moxa sticks.
