Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of artemisia processing equipment, specifically to an intelligent moxa cone cutting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Artemisia argyi, also known as mugwort, is a perennial herb belonging to the Artemisia genus of the Asteraceae family. It is renowned for its unique aroma and wide range of medicinal uses. Artemisia argyi has a long history of cultivation and use in China and other parts of Asia, holding an important place not only in traditional medicine but also in daily life. Moxa cones, also known as moxibustion sticks, are made by rolling up moxa wool. They are commonly used in moxibustion therapy in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Moxa cones are cut into short sticks of specific lengths according to usage requirements, using a cutting machine during processing. The cutting machine consists of a frame and multiple parallel cutting blades driven by cylinders. The moxa cones are placed on the frame, and the cutting blades divide them into multiple short sticks.

[0003] The processing of moxa cones is complex and time-consuming, involving multiple steps such as picking, drying, chopping, steaming and drying to obtain moxa wool. The moxa wool is then rolled into long moxa cones. Moxa oil is usually extracted from the stems of the mugwort plant and has a rich aroma and unique pharmacological effects. Because the processing of moxa wool is time-consuming, some of the moxa oil evaporates during the process. As a result, when moxa wool is rolled into moxa cones, the effect is not good in clinical moxibustion, and the smell is unpleasant and not full, which has affected its widespread use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to provide an intelligent moxa cone cutting machine, which provides a cutting machine that replenishes some moxa oil during the moxa cone cutting process.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An intelligent moxa cone cutting machine includes a frame, on which a cutting disc and a lifting cylinder are fixedly mounted. A horizontal rod is fixedly mounted on the movable end of the lifting cylinder, and multiple cutting blades facing the cutting disc are evenly spaced on the horizontal rod. Clamping cylinders are symmetrically mounted on the cutting disc, and clamping plates are driven by the clamping cylinders. The clamping plates on both sides are arranged opposite to each other. A vibration motor is also fixedly mounted on the cutting disc. A sealing cover for covering the multiple cutting blades is fixedly mounted on the top of the frame. Oil bladders corresponding to the multiple cutting blades are fixedly mounted on the sealing cover. Each oil bladder is connected to a nozzle that sprays towards each cutting blade. A pressing plate that compresses the multiple oil bladders is slidably connected to the sealing cover. A pressing cylinder that drives the pressing plate to move is fixedly mounted on the sealing cover.

[0007] Working principle and beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0008] This method involves placing the moxa cone to be cut between two clamping plates, using a clamping cylinder to drive the clamping plates to clamp the moxa cone, and then loading the moxa oil into the oil sac. The lifting cylinder drives the horizontal rod and multiple cutting blades downwards, dividing the moxa cone into multiple short moxa cones of a fixed length. The lifting cylinder drives the multiple cutting blades into the sealed cover. The clamping cylinder drives the clamping plate to move slightly in the opposite direction, meaning the clamping plate does not clamp the multiple short moxa cones. The vibration motor is started to vibrate, causing the multiple short moxa cones to shake and creating tiny gaps between adjacent short moxa cones. Then, the extrusion cylinder is started to extrude multiple oil-filled bladders. The oil-filled bladders spray a layer of moxa oil of a certain thickness towards the cutting blades through nozzles. The thickness of this layer of moxa oil is much greater than the width of the tiny gaps. The lifting cylinder then drives the multiple cutting blades downwards again, with each cutting blade inserting into the gap between adjacent short moxa cones. The cut surface of the short moxa cone repeatedly contacts and absorbs the moxa oil layer, thus covering the cut surface of each short moxa cone with a layer of moxa oil.

[0009] After the cutting process is completed, the multiple short moxa cones are first vibrated to create tiny gaps between adjacent cones. As the cutting blade moves downwards across the cut surface, the surface minimizes friction, pushing the moxa oil layer to the top of the cone and ensuring repeated contact and absorption between the oil layer and the cut surface, guaranteeing uniform oil absorption. Simultaneously, the layer of moxa oil covering the cut surface of each short moxa cone enhances its aroma and therapeutic effects.

[0010] In an optimized configuration, the clamping plate is fixed with an oil-absorbing patch. The oil-absorbing patch is made of sponge or any oil-absorbing material and is soaked in moxa oil. When the clamping plates on both sides clamp the longer moxa cone for cutting, the oil-absorbing patch comes into contact with the end face of the moxa cone. At this time, the end face of the moxa cone absorbs the moxa oil on the oil-absorbing patch. After the cutting is completed, both end faces of each short moxa cone can be covered with a layer of moxa oil, thereby further enhancing the aroma and therapeutic effect of the short moxa cone.

[0011] The optimized oil-filling bladder is equipped with an oil-filling port, which has a first one-way valve that opens towards the inside of the bladder. The nozzle has a second one-way valve that discharges oil outward from the bladder. By controlling the opening directions of the first and second one-way valves, each bladder is fully compressed when the extrusion plate squeezes it, resulting in the nozzle spraying out more moxa oil during a single extrusion, thus covering the cutting blade with a sufficiently thick layer of moxa oil on one side.

[0012] The optimized design includes a controller for driving the lifting cylinder, extrusion cylinder, and clamping cylinder. This controller enables intelligent operation and improves cutting efficiency.

[0013] In an optimized configuration, an oil-absorbing pad is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the sealing cover. The oil-absorbing pad absorbs excess moxa oil for recycling.

[0014] The optimized cutting disc is provided with a cutting groove that matches the shape of the moxa cone. The cutting groove serves to fix and position the moxa cone. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0019] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: 1. Lifting cylinder; 2. Sealing cover; 3. Cutting disc; 4. Horizontal bar; 5. Frame; 6. Clamping cylinder; 7. Vibration motor; 8. Moxa cone; 9. Clamping plate; 10. Cutting knife; 11. Extrusion cylinder; 12. Extrusion plate; 13. Oil filling bladder; 14. Nozzle.

[0020] In the following statements, directional terms such as "left," "right," "up," and "down" are based on the directions shown in the diagram. In practice, if the corresponding structures are changed in the same direction based on the direction while maintaining their relative positions, it will not affect the implementation of the plan.

[0021] Example 1: An intelligent moxa cone cutting machine, such as Figure 1 As shown, the machine includes a frame 5, on which a cutting disc 3 and a lifting cylinder 1 are fixedly mounted. A horizontal rod 4 is fixedly mounted on the movable end of the lifting cylinder 1. Three cutting blades 10 facing the cutting disc 3 are evenly spaced on the horizontal rod 4. A clamping cylinder 6 is symmetrically mounted on the cutting disc 3. The clamping cylinder 6 drives a clamping plate 9. The clamping plates 9 on both sides are arranged opposite to each other. A vibration motor 7 is also fixedly mounted on the cutting disc 3.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, a sealing cover 2 for covering four cutting blades 10 is fixedly provided on the top of the frame 5. The sealing cover 2 is fixedly provided with oil bladders 13 corresponding to three cutting blades 10 respectively. Each oil bladder 13 is connected to a nozzle 14 that sprays towards each cutting blade 10. The sealing cover 2 is slidably connected to a pressing plate 12 that compresses the three oil bladders 13. The sealing cover 2 is fixedly provided with a pressing cylinder 11 that drives the pressing plate 12 to move.

[0023] In this method, the moxa cones 8 to be cut are placed between the two clamping plates 9 on both sides. The clamping cylinder 6 drives the clamping plates 9 to clamp the moxa cones 8, and the moxa oil is loaded into the oil sac 13. The lifting cylinder 1 is activated to drive the horizontal rod 4 and the three cutting blades 10 to move downward, cutting the moxa cones 8 into four short moxa cones of a fixed length. The lifting cylinder 1 drives the four cutting blades 10 into the sealing cover 2. The clamping cylinder 6 drives the clamping plates 9 to move slightly in the opposite direction, that is, the clamping plates 9 do not clamp the four short moxa cones 8. The vibration motor 7 is activated to vibrate, causing the four short moxa cones 8 to shake, creating a small gap between adjacent short moxa cones 8. Then the extrusion cylinder 11 is activated to drive the extrusion cylinder to extrude the moxa cones. The pressure plate 12 moves upward to squeeze the four oil-filled bladders 13. The oil-filled bladders 13 spray a layer of moxa oil of a certain thickness towards the cutting blades 10 through the nozzles 14. The thickness of this layer of moxa oil is much greater than the width of the tiny gap. Then, the lifting cylinder 1 drives the three cutting blades 10 to move downward. Each cutting blade 10 is inserted into the gap between adjacent short moxa cones 8. The cut surface of the short moxa cones 8 repeatedly contacts the moxa oil layer for absorption, that is, a layer of moxa oil covers the cut surface of each short moxa cone 8.

[0024] After the cutting is completed, the four short moxa cones 8 are first vibrated to create tiny gaps between adjacent cones. When the cutting blade 10 moves downwards across the cut surface of the moxa cone 8, the cut surface does not generate significant friction with the blade, pushing the moxa oil layer to the top of the moxa cone 8 and ensuring repeated contact and absorption between the oil layer and the cut surface, thus guaranteeing uniform oil absorption. Simultaneously, the presence of a layer of moxa oil on the cut surface of each moxa cone 8 enhances its aroma and therapeutic effect.

[0025] Example 2: The difference from Example 1 is that the clamping plate 9 is fixedly equipped with an oil-absorbing patch. The oil-absorbing patch is made of sponge or any oil-absorbing material. The oil-absorbing patch is soaked in moxa oil. When the clamping plates 9 on both sides clamp the longer moxa cone 8 for cutting, the oil-absorbing patch comes into contact with the end face of the moxa cone 8. At this time, the end face of the moxa cone 8 absorbs the moxa oil on the oil-absorbing patch. After the cutting is completed, both end faces of each short moxa cone 8 can be covered with a layer of moxa oil, thereby further improving the aroma and therapeutic effect of the short moxa cone 8.

The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art.
