Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of compound herbal materials, and specifically relates to a preparation method, product and application of compound herbal paper. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the global economy and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, people's demands for physical and mental health are also constantly increasing. Due to the differences in national cultures and living habits in the international market, existing traditional moxibustion sticks and incense products cannot meet the needs of the domestic and international markets in terms of their use, usage methods, suitable scenarios and populations.

[0003] In addition, the traditional moxibustion sticks and incense products currently available on the market have the following technical defects:

[0004] (1) Most products have a single-layer structure, which leads to uneven combustion and temperature control defects. The oxygen supply path is single, resulting in uneven oxygen distribution during the combustion process. During combustion, local areas are prone to burning too fast or too slow, the combustion rate fluctuates greatly, and the time deviation is large, affecting the stability and sustainability of moxibustion sticks and incense products.

[0005] (2) Waste of medicinal materials due to temperature control defects: Due to uneven combustion, the loss of effective ingredients occurs. If the temperature is improperly controlled, the low temperature area is often below 150°C, and the high temperature area is often above 450°C. The volatile active ingredients in some medicinal materials (such as eucalyptol, agarwood furan, etc.) cannot be fully released, and the utilization rate is less than 60%. For example, when mugwort is burned at low temperature, the thermal decomposition loss rate of eucalyptol can reach more than 40%, resulting in a significant decrease in the antibacterial effect. The high temperature area destroys the heat-sensitive components, and the local high temperature (>450°C) causes the carbonization of the active ingredients. For example, the decomposition rate of safflower yellow pigment in safflower exceeds 50% at high temperature, and the blood circulation and blood stasis removal function is greatly weakened, which greatly reduces the utilization rate of the active ingredients and makes it impossible to fully exert the pharmacological effect.

[0006] (3) Combustion particulate matter and health risks: Particulate matter emissions exceed the standard. The concentration of particulate matter produced by combustion is about 4.5 times that of tobacco smoke, and PM 2.5 emissions can reach 80-110 μg / m 3 If people are in such an environment for a long time, the incidence of respiratory diseases (such as bronchitis, asthma, etc.) will increase by more than 30%.

[0007] (4) Poor environmental adaptability: Under high humidity (RH>80%) or low oxygen (such as plateau environment) conditions, it is easy to extinguish or burn incompletely, and particulate matter emissions will further increase by 30%-50%.

[0008] (5) Single function limitation: Traditional moxibustion sticks mainly rely on moxa, which has a relatively single function and is difficult to achieve multiple functions such as antibacterial, calming, and dehumidifying at the same time, and cannot meet the diversified health needs of modern times.

[0009] Therefore, developing a compound herbal paper that meets the existing market demand, a preparation method and application thereof is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the Invention

[0038] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0039] In one embodiment of the present application, a method for preparing a compound herbal paper comprises the following steps:

[0040] Choose Chinese herbal medicines that are both medicinal and edible as the main raw materials;

[0041] Determine the ratio of the above-mentioned Chinese herbal medicine raw materials;

[0042] Select other formulations of papermaking materials;

[0043] Classify and process the above-mentioned Chinese herbal medicine raw materials and papermaking materials;

[0044] Papermaking forming process;

[0045] The paper after the above forming process is subjected to microporous treatment.

[0046] This embodiment uses plants with medicinal and edible properties as the main raw materials of the compound herbal medicine, and utilizes a combination of raw materials of various traditional Chinese medicine compound herbal medicines and papermaking materials to produce paper with different properties. The properties of the paper are suitable for the process of manufacturing the products, and the production technology is mature, the process is simple, the production cost is low, and the products are diversified.

[0047] In determining the ratio of the aforementioned Chinese herbal raw materials, the principle of "monarch, minister, adjuvant, and guiding" is followed according to the compatibility of the Chinese herbal medicines. Specifically, the raw materials can be selected based on the various compatibility of the ingredients in the traditional Chinese medicine herbal compound, and mainly selected from the Chinese medicinal and edible materials that are approved for medicinal and edible use, and the materials that do not change their medicinal properties after burning.

[0048] The paper made primarily from the aforementioned herbal compound is manufactured by first drying all the ingredients of the compound, including the papermaking materials, and then finely grinding them. These ingredients are then mixed evenly with the compound herbal ingredients, and used as the two raw materials for paper production. This ensures the minimum flash point of the raw materials, ensuring maximum burnout during use, maximizing the release of the original medicinal properties, and minimizing smoke and pH. Based on the principles of airflow, the product's exterior is constructed to resemble a breathable paper envelope, while the interior is constructed to resemble a honeycomb with adjustable density and a three-dimensional mesh structure with continuous air-permeable gaps. This allows the manufactured paper and its products to achieve controllable flash point, burning time, air permeability, and smoke.

[0049] Among them, the above-mentioned selection of Chinese herbal raw materials with medicinal and edible properties includes: raw material preparation, mainly selecting Chinese herbal raw materials with medicinal and edible properties to manufacture the main raw materials for compound moxibustion sticks, incense or cigarettes.

[0050] Furthermore, preferably, according to the compatibility of traditional Chinese medicine, the following medicinal materials are selected for preparation: agarwood, golden moxa, moxa, tangerine peel (dried tangerine peel), sandalwood, clove, mint, patchouli, astragalus, polygonatum, kudzu root, poria, honeysuckle, salt cypress, cassia twig, and angelica dahurica.

[0051] Then further determine the ratio of the above raw materials:

[0052] Combining the pharmacology and combustion characteristics of traditional moxibustion and incense fumigation with modern process requirements, and strictly adhering to the principle of "monarch, minister, assistant, and envoy", while taking into account both efficacy synergy and safety, we have designed three sets of professional compatibility plans as follows:

[0053] Plan 1 (Warming the meridians and unblocking the collaterals):

[0054] Main medicine: Golden moxa 40%;

[0055] Assistant medicine: cinnamon twig 15% + agarwood 10%;

[0056] Adjuvant: Chuanxiong 8% + Angelica dahurica 8% + Fructus Aurantii Immaturus 6%;

[0057] Adjuvant: Clove 5% + Salt Achyranthes 5%.

[0058] Function: It can eliminate chronic cold diseases such as joint pain, uterine cold and dysmenorrhea, and the burning temperature is stable at 550-650℃.

[0059] Option 2 (dampness-removing and cold-dispelling type):

[0060] Main medicine: Atractylodes lancea 20% + common moxa 30%;

[0061] Assistant drugs: Stephania tetrandra 15% + Patchouli 12%;

[0062] Auxiliary drugs: Angelica dahurica 10% + dried tangerine peel 8% + soapberry thorn 5%; guiding drug: costus root 5%.

[0063] Function: It is used to treat edema, soreness and numbness. The smoke is light and spicy, and it smolders at a low temperature (400-500℃) to reduce irritation.

[0064] Plan 3 (Qi and Blood Dual Regulation):

[0065] Main drug: Dipsacus root 25% + moxa 30%;

[0066] Assistant medicine: Angelica 15% + Myrrh 10%;

[0067] Auxiliary drugs: Polygonatum 12% + Cinnamon Twig 8%; Guiding drug: Asarum 3%.

[0068] Function: Repairs pain caused by strain, weakness after surgery, leaves little residue after burning, and requires temperature control to prevent the release of toxicity from asarum.

[0069] In this embodiment, the other formulations for selecting papermaking materials at least include: bamboo fiber, cotton fiber, and wormwood ash.

[0070] Furthermore, the above-mentioned papermaking material formula is designed in combination with combustion performance, pharmacological synergy and production practicality as follows: Among them, a three-layer composite structure is preferably adopted, specifically including: a core medicinal layer, a synergistic transdermal layer and a kidney-warming and strengthening layer.

[0071] For the core medicinal layer (middle layer, accounting for 60%), the following combination is preferably adopted: monarch drug: golden moxa 30% + moxa 20%; ministerial drug: cinnamon twig 12% + atractylodes 10%; adjuvant drug: angelica 8% + patchouli 7%; guiding drug: agarwood 5% + costus root 5%.

[0072] For the synergistic transdermal layer (inner layer, skin-facing side, accounting for 25%), the following formula is preferably used: 15% of Chuanxiong, 10% of stir-fried Citrus aurantium with bran, and carrier: cotton fiber.

[0073] The following formula is preferably used for the warming kidney and strengthening body layer (outer layer, accounting for 15%): 8% salt cyperus rotundus, 7% dipsacus root, and carrier: bamboo fiber + plant ash.

[0074] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the bamboo fiber and cotton fiber used in the above-mentioned papermaking material are processed as follows: the bamboo / cotton fiber is boiled with alkali of mugwort ash (pH 9.5-10.5) to improve the binding strength and combustion uniformity; the medicinal powder is ground to 100 mesh and dried at a low temperature of 80°C to retain the volatile components; a composite structure design is used, and three layers of wet pressing (0.5MPa, 60°C) are used.

[0075] This embodiment utilizes traditional Chinese medicine techniques, modern TCM technologies, and papermaking techniques to develop a combination of Chinese medicinal materials and a papermaking formula suitable for producing compound herbal paper. This technical solution, based on the dual needs of papermaking technology and the efficacy of medicinal material compatibility, combines bamboo fiber and cotton fiber substrates with Chinese herbal medicines. Combined with combustion performance, pharmacological synergy, and production practicality, it can produce excellent compound herbal paper and its products.

[0076] The above-mentioned classification processing of the above-mentioned Chinese herbal medicine raw materials and papermaking materials includes: fermentation treatment, mud removal treatment or crushing treatment of the Chinese herbal medicine raw materials.

[0077] Preferably, the Chinese herbal medicine materials and papermaking materials are processed according to their properties:

[0078] (1) Agarwood and Atractylodes need to be pre-fermented for 24 hours (at 30°C) to soften the lignin;

[0079] (2) After sandalwood, clove, Chuanxiong, cassia twig, bran-fried Citrus aurantium, asarum, Duhuo, costus root, Dipsacus asper, salted Achyranthes bidentata, Stephania tetrandra, and Angelica sinensis are desilted, a vibrating screen is used to remove sediment with an aperture of ≤0.5 mm.

[0080] (3) According to the papermaking technology: fried Citrus aurantium, cinnamon twig, salt Eucommia ulmoides, Dipsacus asper, salt Achyranthes bidentata, Stephania tetrandra, bamboo fiber, cotton fiber, and Artemisia argyi ash need to go through the degumming process.

[0081] (4) Based on the temperature of the single-cylinder papermaking machine:

[0082] Inside the dryer, when the steam pressure reaches 2 atmospheres, the internal temperature is approximately 110°C. On the outer surface of the dryer, due to heat conduction losses, the actual temperature drops to 95°C, creating a temperature difference between inside and outside. Low-temperature drying is preferred for all solid raw materials, with a temperature controlled at ≤85°C and a moisture content reduced to approximately 9%.

[0083] Further preferably, this embodiment uses a fine crusher to further process each compound grassland material: specifically, the selected solid Chinese herbal medicine raw material varieties are crushed and ground into powder, and the material is filtered through a 120-mesh filter to achieve a powdered Chinese herbal medicine with a precision of 80um-100um.

[0084] The medium crusher is used to further process the Chinese medicinal materials: the selected solid Chinese herbal medicine raw materials are crushed and ground into powder, and the material is filtered through an 80-mesh filter to achieve a precision of 60um-40um powdered Chinese herbal medicine. The particles of this part of the material are relatively large.

[0085] This embodiment preferably uses a fine crusher to process papermaking materials: bamboo fiber, cotton fiber, and wormwood ash, which are special materials for papermaking, are crushed and ground into powder, and then filtered through a 120-mesh filter to obtain a powder with a precision of 100um-80um.

[0086] The following will further explain in detail the production procedures, technical requirements and raw material preparation specifications for papermaking.

[0087] About the selection of fiber raw materials:

[0088] (1) Plant fibers: bamboo, cotton, wood pulp, etc. must comply with the hygiene standards of GB / T 20811-2018, with an impurity rate of ≤0.5%.

[0089] (2) Functional addition: Antibacterial and mosquito repellent cotton fibers need to be scour to remove wax and pectin (scouring solution: caustic soda 2g / L + hydrogen peroxide 4g / L + glacial acetic acid 0.4g / L).

[0090] Regarding the control of auxiliary materials: Among them, the adhesive is ≤1.5%, and the adhesive is mainly used for fiber dispersion and anti-flocculation.

[0091] About the core process:

[0092] (1) Preprocessing stage

[0093] (2) Fiber scouring (cotton fiber only), the following steps are adopted in sequence, preferably:

[0094] ① Soda ash (NaOH) treatment (80℃, 30 minutes) → ② Hydrogen peroxide oxidation (90-100℃, 40 minutes) → ③ Glacial acetic acid neutralization (80℃, 25 minutes) → ④ Dehydration and drying.

[0095] About the blasting of bamboo fiber: the bamboo fiber is opened mechanically to 120 mesh to improve the bonding strength of the bamboo fiber.

[0096] Regarding the papermaking forming stage: the following parameter requirements, equipment and standards are preferably adopted.

[0097] Process Parameter requirements Equipment and Standards Mixing slurry Bamboo fiber 40% + cotton fiber 25% + functional additives Slurry concentration 3.5-4.5%; pH 6.5-7.5 copy Wire dewatering speed ≥100m / min Fourdrinier papermaking machine (ISO5296 standard) Pressing and drying Pressure 0.5MPa, temperature 110-130℃ Composite calender (GB / T8944)

[0098] Regarding the functional post-processing after the above papermaking forming:

[0099] Preferably, an impregnation process is adopted: the mosquito repellent and antibacterial cotton fiber is circulated and treated with a tannic acid cross-linking agent (2-4 wt%) for 30 minutes and cured at 120°C.

[0100] The microporation process includes: using microporous laser technology to create micropores of a predetermined aperture on the formed paper. Further preferably, the laser microporous technology is used to construct a three-dimensional mesh-shaped oxygen supply network system in the product structure.

[0101] In this embodiment, the compound traditional Chinese medicine special paper manufactured is used to precisely create micro-holes on the paper using laser micro-hole technology and equipment (paper thickness ≥ 50 GSM; air permeability: ≥ 60 CU; hole diameter 0.02-0.10 mm, micro-hole density ≥ 100 holes / cm2. After the paper is punched, a grid-like hollowed paper is formed, which has high air permeability, lower ignition value, and faster burning speed. The amount of smoke is reduced because the number of paper burned and the ignition value are reduced. When the paper is rolled into a long cylindrical shape, the overall structure forms a three-dimensional network oxygen supply system.

[0102] The laser micro-hole machine is used to punch a large area of the paper, which has the advantages of high work efficiency and simple operation. In order to avoid the waste of raw materials of all the punched paper parts, in this embodiment, during the production process, the method of combining the two methods of pressure film hollowed paper and laser micro-hole paper is used according to the actual situation to improve the recycling rate of the hollowed paper part and the number ratio of the recycled paper.

[0103] The principle of the laser micro-hole machine technology and the characteristics of the equipment used in this embodiment will be described in further detail below.

[0104] This embodiment preferably uses non-contact gasification processing: after the laser is focused, a high-intensity heat source is formed, which makes the material evaporate instantaneously by gasification instead of burning, forming micro-holes (hole diameter range 0.01 mm-2 mm), which is especially suitable for flexible thin materials (such as film, paper, aluminum foil).

[0105] This embodiment can achieve precise optical control: the spot diameter can be reduced to microns / nanometers, and the hole diameter, pitch, and array distribution can be accurately adjusted by software to achieve high-density equidistant punching (such as moxa or incense M roll paper.

[0106] The flexible material punching used in this embodiment usually requires ≤200W power to avoid thermal damage, and is matched with a gas cooling system (compressed air / inert gas) to prevent carbonization.

[0107] The rewinding laser micro-hole machine integrated equipment structure in this embodiment: the rewinding laser micro-hole machine integrates unwinding rollers, guide rollers, laser perforation stations, and winding rollers to realize “punching-rewinding” integrated production and reduce material reverse loss.

[0108] This embodiment can realize multi-laser head cooperation: for wide-width materials (such as greenhouse film), multiple laser perforation mechanisms are arranged horizontally to break through the single-field mirror spot size limit and improve the processing width efficiency. Automatic control: parameters (speed, power, hole pitch) are adjusted by programming through the control console to adapt to different material thickness and hole type requirements.

[0109] Based on the above-mentioned laser microporous and film-pressed hollow paper technology, when the paper is rolled into a long cylindrical shape, a three-dimensional oxygen supply network system is constructed in the product structure. This method controls the density of the paper network structure formed after the paper is punched, and regulates the actual combustion volume (not area) of the paper by controlling the punching density and aperture size. The synergistic optimization of compound herbal paper is constructed, and significant improvements are achieved in terms of ignition point value, combustion temperature, smoke particle control and medicinal material utilization compared to traditional moxibustion sticks and incense sticks. The more stable the ignition point of the product made in this example (180-200℃), the faster the temperature rises during combustion, and the easier it is to reach a complete combustion state, the less smoke there is.

[0116] In another embodiment of the present application, two different compound herbal papers, one each of moxibustion sticks, incense, and cigarettes, and four production techniques are used to produce 24 different product parameters. The different paper names and production techniques are listed below:

[0117] (1) Different raw materials and particle sizes are used to make the following four types of paper combinations:

[0118] Type A paper = Chinese medicinal materials (moxibustion sticks, incense, or cigarettes) 80um-100um + papermaking materials 80um-100um;

[0119] Type B paper = Chinese medicinal materials (moxibustion sticks or incense or cigarettes) 60um-40um + papermaking materials 80um-100um.

[0120] (2) Paper naming based on paper raw materials and paper post-processing technology:

[0121] Paper that has not been treated with laser microporous processing (called: Type C paper);

[0122] Paper processed with laser micro-holes (called: D-type paper);

[0123] Paper that has been increased or decreased in size (called Type E paper);

[0124] Shredded paper that has been cut into fine shreds (called: F-type paper).

[0125] The present application can be applied in different scenarios based on the above-mentioned compound herbal paper. For example, the compound herbal paper can be crushed or filamented for use in other scenarios where it can be used alone or in a package. It can also be rolled into moxibustion sticks, incense, or cigarettes. It can also be used as a filler and filled in an empty paper tube made of the above-mentioned compound herbal paper to make products such as moxibustion sticks, incense, or cigarettes.

[0126] The present application has a wide range of application scenarios and can be used in compound herbal moxibustion sticks, compound herbal incense, and even compound herbal cigarettes. The preparation method of the present application greatly reduces the core pain points of traditional Chinese moxibustion, incense and other products such as large smoke hazards, significant temperature fluctuations, and serious waste of medicinal materials during use.
