Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of incense-making machinery technology, and in particular to a fully automated incense-sprinkling production line. Background Technology

[0002] Incense sticks are commonly used folk religious items, mainly consisting of incense bones and spices wrapped around the surface of the incense bones. The end of the incense stick is exposed for holding. The processing of incense sticks involves wetting, applying powder, and rolling. Wetting is used to give the incense bones a certain degree of moisture, so that the spices can adhere to the surface of the incense bones during the powdering process. Rolling provides continuous and regular rotation and tumbling, allowing multiple incense bones with spices on their surfaces to collide, rub, and squeeze each other, thereby compacting the spices.

[0003] Existing incense production lines typically require multiple operators, resulting in low production efficiency. Firstly, the incense sticks may break during transport, wasting production materials. Secondly, the incense sticks cannot be properly leveled during the wetting process, leading to inconsistent wetting depths and inconsistent total incense powder volume. Thirdly, the incense powder is prone to clogging during the powdering process, making it difficult to drain. Fourthly, the incense powder has low density during the rolling process, making it difficult to shape.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a fully automated fragrance production line, which solves the technical problem of low fragrance production efficiency in the prior art. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] This invention provides a fully automated fragrance production line to solve the technical problem of low fragrance production efficiency in the prior art.

[0023] refer to Figure 1 The present invention discloses a fully automatic fragrance production line, comprising a powdering mechanism and a transport unit 1. The powdering mechanism includes a water-passing unit 2, a powdering unit 3, and a rounding unit 4 connected in sequence. The transport unit 1 is used to sequentially transport the fragrance bones through the powdering mechanism. The water-passing unit 2 includes a first frame 201, a water tank 203, and a water-passing transfer device 202. Both the water tank 203 and the water-passing transfer device 202 are mounted on the first frame 201. The water-passing transfer device 202 is used to transfer the fragrance bones located on the transport unit 1 to the water tank 203 for watering. After the watering step, the water-passing transfer device 202 transfers the fragrance bones to the transport unit 1, and the transport unit 1 transfers the fragrance bones to the powdering unit 3. The powdering unit 3 includes a second frame 301, a powder hopper 302, a stick-sorting mechanism 305, and a powder collection bin 324. The hoppers 324 are all installed on the second frame 301. The skewer sorting mechanism 305 is installed between the skewer sorting mechanism 305 and the powder collection hopper 324. After the transport unit 1 transfers the incense sticks to the powder application unit 3, the skewer sorting mechanism 305 operates to place the incense sticks below the powder hopper 302. The powder in the powder hopper 302 falls and wraps around the incense sticks. After the powder application step is completed, the transport unit 1 transfers the incense sticks to the rounding unit 4. The rounding unit 4 includes the third frame 401, the rounding assembly, and the rounding transfer device 431. The rounding assembly and the rounding transfer device 431 are all installed on the third frame 401. After the transport unit 1 transfers the incense sticks to the rounding unit 4, the rounding transfer device 431 operates to transfer the incense sticks to the rounding assembly for rounding. After the rounding step is completed, the rounding transfer device 431 transfers the incense sticks to the transport unit 1, and the transport unit 1 transfers the incense sticks to the unloading position.

[0024] In the process of making incense, the incense sticks are first fixed in transport unit 1. Transport unit 1 then carries the incense sticks through the water-passing unit 2, powder-applying unit 3, and rounding unit 4 of the powder-applying mechanism. After the incense is made, it is taken out from the incense-discharging mechanism. No manual intervention is required in the water-passing, powder-applying, and rounding steps of incense making, thus automating the production of incense and effectively improving processing efficiency, processing costs, and labor costs.

[0025] The following sections describe the structure of transport unit 1, water-passing unit 2, powder-applying unit 3, and rounding unit 4.

[0026] refer to Figures 2 to 4 The transport unit 1 is located at the front end of the powdering mechanism. The transport unit 1 includes a gripper assembly, a gripping drive device, and a slide rail. The gripper assembly includes a first gripper 101 and a second gripper 102. The second gripper 102 is slidably connected to the slide rail. The fixing part of the gripping drive device is located on the second gripper 102, and the output end of the gripping drive device is connected to the first gripper 101. The first gripper 101 is provided with a first clamping part 103, and the second gripper 102 is provided with a second clamping part 104. When it is necessary to clamp the incense stick, under the drive of the gripping drive device, the first clamping part 103 moves towards the second clamping part 104 to clamp the incense stick. The first clamping part 103 has an arc-shaped contact surface. The arc-shaped contact surface changes the contact angle between the arc-shaped contact surface and the outer surface of the incense stick, which can reduce the shear force on the incense stick, thereby reducing the possibility of the incense stick being broken during clamping, and eliminating the need for repeated clamping of the incense stick, thus improving the efficiency of the incense processing. Meanwhile, a first elastic pad 105 is provided on the arc-shaped contact surface, which can further reduce the shear force on the incense bone and further reduce the possibility of the incense bone being pinched and broken. The second clamping part 104 is a plane, and the combination of the arc-shaped contact surface and the plane can ensure stable clamping. A second elastic pad 106 is provided on the second clamping part 104, which can further reduce the possibility of the incense bone being pinched and broken. The first elastic pad 105 and the second elastic pad 106 are preferably rubber pads, but can also be elastic pads widely used in the prior art such as silicone pads.

[0027] The preferred clamping drive device is a pneumatic cylinder 435, but other linear drive devices such as hydraulic cylinders can also be selected according to actual needs. The conveying unit also includes a storage tray 107, which is arranged parallel to the second clamping part 104 and is used to provide the incense sticks to be clamped by the second clamping part 104. The storage tray 107 includes multiple parallel storage units 108, in which the incense sticks are placed, facilitating the clamping jaw assembly to clamp the incense sticks from the multiple parallel storage units 108, thus improving the clamping efficiency of the incense sticks. The conveying unit also includes a sliding drive device, the output end of which is connected to the second clamping jaw 102 to drive the second clamping jaw 102 to reciprocate along the slide rail, allowing the second clamping jaw 102 to move between different workstations. The sliding drive device is preferably a chain drive device, but other linear drive devices can also be selected according to actual needs. There are multiple gripping drive devices, which are arranged side by side on the second gripper 102. The multiple gripping drive devices drive different parts of the first gripper 101 to move the first gripper 101 closer to or away from the second gripper 102.

[0028] refer to Figures 5 to 10The water transfer unit 2 includes a first frame 201, a water tank 203, and a water transfer device 202. Both the water tank 203 and the water transfer device 202 are mounted on the first frame 201. A first slide rail 205 is horizontally arranged on the top of the first frame 201 along the front-to-back direction. A first driving device for driving the water transfer device 202 to slide along the first slide rail 205 is provided on the first slide rail 205. The water transfer device 202 includes a top frame 207, a bottom frame 210, a left side frame 208, and a right side frame 209. The top frame 207 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 205.

The left and right ends of the base frame 210 are rotatably connected to the left and right slide plates 212 and 211 respectively. A third drive device is provided on either the left or right slide plate 212 to drive the base frame 210 to rotate. The base frame 210 also has a clamping part for clamping the incense sticks on the conveyor belt. A water tank 203 is located below the base frame 210. The first drive device includes a first motor 213. Wheels are provided at both ends of the first slide rail 205, and the wheels are connected by a transmission belt 227. The output shaft of the first motor 213 is connected to the shaft of any wheel. Two first slide rails 205 are provided, respectively located on the left and right sides of the frame. The wheels on adjacent first slide rails 205 are connected by a transmission rod 228. The top of the first slide rail 205 is provided with a slide groove, and the bottom of the top frame 207 is provided with a slider. A transmission belt 227 and a slider are provided inside the slide groove. The transmission belt 227 is used to drive the slider to move along the slide groove. The clamping part includes a first clamping plate 223, a second clamping plate 225, and a linear drive mechanism 216. The second clamping plate 225 and the linear drive mechanism 216 are provided on the base frame 210, and the output end of the linear drive mechanism 216 faces the second clamping plate 225. The first clamping plate 223 is provided at the output end of the linear drive mechanism 216. The first clamping plate 223 and the second clamping plate 225 are distributed along the left and right direction of the base frame 210. The first clamping plate 223 is provided with protrusions 224 at intervals, and the second clamping plate 225 is provided with grooves 226 at intervals. The protrusions 224 and the grooves 226 are engaged. The number of grooves 226 is equal to the number of shaping plates 206. The second drive device includes a screw drive structure and a second motor 214. Drive wheels are respectively installed at the left and right ends of the top frame 207, and a drive belt 227 is installed between the drive wheels. Screw drive structures are installed on both the left side frame 208 and the right side frame 209. The output shaft of the second motor 214 drives the left sliding plate 212 and the right sliding plate 211 to move vertically through the screw drive structures. An adjusting plate 221 is installed at the bottom of the water tank 203, and a depth adjusting device 217 for adjusting the depth of the adjusting plate 221 is installed on the inner wall of the water tank 203.The third drive unit includes a third motor 215, which is mounted on either the left slide plate 212 or the right slide plate 211. Two drive wheels are mounted on either the left or right slide plate 212 or 211, distributed vertically along the left or right slide plate 211.

A water inlet is located on the side wall of the water tank 203, and a float valve 222 is installed at the water inlet.

[0029] The water-passing unit 2 uses a clamping mechanism on the base frame 210 to grip the incense sticks on the conveyor belt. The first drive device drives the transfer device away from the conveyor belt, and the second drive device lifts the base frame 210 upward, so that the base frame 210 can rotate smoothly under the drive of the third drive device, thereby changing the incense stick from a horizontal posture to a vertical posture. Then, the second drive device drives the base frame 210 to descend into the water tank 203 to perform a water-passing operation on the end of the incense stick. After water-passing, the incense stick is placed back on the conveyor belt in a horizontal posture under the drive of the first drive device, the second drive device, and the third drive device. The conveyor belt transports the water-passing incense stick to the next process, while the transfer device continues to grip the incense sticks that are subsequently transported to the water-passing mechanism on the conveyor belt and complete the water-passing process, so as to achieve the purpose of continuous operation of the water-passing mechanism in the incense production process and improve the incense production efficiency.

[0030] refer to Figures 11 to 14The powdering unit 3 includes a second frame 301, a powder hopper 302, a skewer sorting mechanism 305, and a powder collection bin 324. The skewer sorting mechanism 305 includes a skewer holder 306, skewer groups, and a skewer strip 312 assembly. The skewer holder 306 is vertically mounted on the frame via a first powdering drive mechanism 307 and is used to support the incense sticks. Multiple skewer groups are mounted on the skewer holder 306. Each skewer group includes a pair of vertically arranged partitions 308. The incense sticks in the group are placed between the pairs of partitions 308 during powdering. The skewer strip 312 assembly includes an upper skewer strip assembly 309 and a lower skewer strip assembly 310, and the two move in opposite directions to generate opposite forces on the incense sticks, which is used to spread the incense sticks in each skewer group flat on the skewer holder 306. The lower skewer strip assembly 310 is vertically mounted on the second frame 301 via a second powdering drive mechanism 311. Both the upper and lower skewer assembly 309 and skewer lower assembly 310 include a skewer guide 312, a drive wheel 313 and a driven wheel 314 for tensioning the skewer guide 312, and a third powdering drive mechanism 315 for driving the drive wheel 313 to rotate. They also include pairs of vertically arranged partitions 316, which correspond to pairs of vertically arranged partitions 308. The partitions 316 restrict the handheld portion of the incense stick, and the partitions 308 restrict the fragrance application portion of the incense stick. The upper skewer guide assembly 309 and partitions 316 are both mounted on a first mounting plate 317, which is vertically and flexibly mounted on a second frame 301 via a fourth powdering drive mechanism 318. The second frame 301 and the first mounting plate 317 are equipped with mutually cooperating guide rail slider mechanisms 319. In this embodiment, by configuring the skewer holder 306 to be driven and lifted by the first powdering drive mechanism 307, the partitions 308 on it have an obstacle avoidance function. When the incense sticks are horizontally conveyed to the workstation along a direction perpendicular to the partition 308, the skewer support 306 can be lowered to a low position, clearing a clear path for the incense sticks and completely avoiding obstruction of the conveying process by the fixed partition 308. After the incense sticks are conveyed to their designated positions, the support rises back to the working height to provide support. This design cleverly combines partitioning and obstacle avoidance functions, making it more suitable for optimized conveying paths, reducing additional steps, and greatly ensuring the smoothness and reliability of the fully automated production line. In this embodiment, the skewer lower strap assembly 310 is mounted on the second mounting plate 320, and the output end of the second powdering drive mechanism 311 is detachably connected to the second mounting plate 320. The second frame 301 and the second mounting plate 320 are equipped with mutually cooperating guide rail slider mechanisms 319. The skewer assembly also includes a rear baffle 321 located behind the partition 308, which limits the depth of the incense sticks. It also includes an adjustment assembly for adjusting the front-rear position of the rear baffle 321. The adjustment assembly includes a threaded support portion 322 and an adjustment rod 323. The end of the adjustment rod 323 is fixedly connected to the rear baffle 321, and the depth of the adjustment rod 323 is adjusted by rotating it. By providing the skewer upper strap assembly 309 and the skewer lower strap assembly 310 with opposite directions of movement, a pair of opposing frictional forces can be applied to the group of incense sticks supported on the bracket. This force effectively breaks the static friction and adhesion between the incense sticks, thus actively spreading out the randomly stacked incense sticks and making them spread into a uniform layer. This ensures that the surface of each incense stick to be powdered is fully exposed within the powder drop range of the powder hopper 302, fundamentally solving the problems of uneven powdering and powder leakage caused by the accumulation of incense sticks, significantly improving the appearance consistency and quality stability of the fragrance products, while reducing powder waste.

[0031] In this embodiment, the powder hopper 302 is fixedly mounted on the frame. A powder outlet is located at the bottom of the powder hopper 302, and a powder sieve 303 is positioned below the outlet. The powder sieve 303 is mounted on the frame via a fifth powder feeding drive mechanism 304, which drives the powder sieve 303 to reciprocate horizontally. By integrating the "straightening" and "flattening" steps before powder feeding into a single station for automatic completion, manual intervention or subsequent separate finishing is eliminated, shortening the production cycle and improving overall efficiency. Furthermore, the design of the lower strap assembly 310, which can also be raised and lowered, allows the equipment to adapt to different specifications or quantities of incense bones by finely adjusting the contact pressure and contact area between the upper and lower straps and the incense bone group, optimizing the flattening effect and enhancing the equipment's versatility and process adjustment capabilities.

[0032] refer to Figures 15 to 21The rounding unit 4 includes a third frame 401, a rounding assembly, and a rounding transfer device 431. The rounding assembly includes a pallet 402, a material-supporting belt 403, and a drive device 404 mounted on the third frame 401. At least two pallets 402 are provided and mounted at the output end of the drive device 404. The material-supporting belt 403 is mounted on the top of the pallet 402 to support the rinsing material and is mounted between two adjacent pallets 402. The length of the material-supporting belt 403 is greater than the distance between two adjacent pallets 402, so that the material-supporting belt 403 forms a concave valley between two adjacent pallets 402 to support the rinsing material. The drive device 404 is used to drive the pallets 402 to move up and down reciprocally and to move two adjacent pallets 402 in opposite directions.

[0033] In this embodiment, the pallets 402 are arranged in rows evenly, with a suitable processing interval maintained between adjacent pallets 402. The distance of this processing interval depends on the quantity and type of the processed objects. The material-supporting belt 403 is installed on the top of the pallets 402 via pressure plates and fixed with locking bolts. The material-removing belt is a polyester fabric coated belt. This material uses high-strength polyester fiber fabric as a skeleton and is coated with a layer of food-grade PVC or PU, possessing high strength and no odor, thus preventing reaction with the chemical components in the incense material. During the rolling process, the reciprocating movement of the material-supporting belt 403 causes the incense material to roll within the valley formed between the two pallets 402, creating continuous and regular rotation and tumbling. This allows the incense material to collide, rub, and compress against each other, thereby compacting the incense powder on the surface of the incense stick, improving the incense's toughness and roundness, and ensuring that the outer tube of the finished incense is neat and aesthetically pleasing.

[0034] In this embodiment, the drive device 404 includes a drive motor 405, a chain drive assembly 406, an eccentric wheel assembly 411, and a lifting frame 414. The chain drive assembly 406 includes a first drive sprocket 407, a second drive sprocket 408, a first driven sprocket 409, a second driven sprocket 410, a first chain, and a second chain. The eccentric wheel assembly 411 includes a first eccentric wheel 412 and a second eccentric wheel 413. The first drive sprocket 407 and the second drive sprocket 408 are coaxially mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 405. The first driven sprocket 409 is coaxially connected to the first eccentric wheel 412, and the second driven sprocket 410 is coaxially connected to the second eccentric wheel 413. The first chain is mounted on the first drive sprocket 407 and the first driven sprocket 409, and the second chain is mounted on the second drive sprocket 405. 08 and the second driven sprocket 410; the lifting frame 414 includes a first connecting rod 415, a second connecting rod 416, a first sliding rod 417 and a second sliding rod 418. One end of the first connecting rod 415 is hinged to the first eccentric wheel 412, and the other end is hinged to the bottom end of the first sliding rod 417. One end of the second connecting rod 416 is hinged to the second eccentric wheel 413, and the other end is installed at the bottom end of the second sliding rod 418. The first sliding rod 417 and the second sliding rod 418 are both vertically slidably installed on the third frame 401. An inner support frame 419 is installed at the top of the first sliding rod 417, and an outer support frame 420 is installed at the top of the second sliding rod 418. One of the adjacent support plates 402 is installed on the inner support frame 419, and the other support plate 402 is installed on the outer support frame 420.

[0035] The third frame 401 is also equipped with a driven drive device 421 located on the opposite side of the drive device 404. The driven drive device 421 is connected to the drive device 404 via a transmission rod 228. This embodiment also includes a limiting plate 430. The two ends of the limiting plate 430 are equipped with locking blocks. The limiting plate 430 is movably connected to the third frame 401 via the locking blocks. The limiting plate 430 is located on one side of the support plate 402, and the limiting surface of the limiting plate 430 is perpendicular to the support plate 402. The function of the limiting plate 430 is to provide a limiting effect for the fragrance material placed on the material conveyor belt 403, so that the ends of the fragrance material are flush, thereby avoiding uneven rolling.

[0036] The rolling transfer device 431 is mounted on the third frame 401 and located on the side of the material support belt 403 away from the limiting plate 430. The rolling transfer device 431 is used to transfer the fragrance material onto the material support belt 403. The rolling transfer device 431 includes a horizontal moving unit, a vertical moving unit, grippers, and a drive unit. The grippers are used to hold the fragrance material. The horizontal moving unit is used to adjust the horizontal distance between the grippers and the material support belt 403. The vertical moving unit is used to adjust the vertical distance between the grippers and the material support belt 403. The drive unit is used to provide the horizontal moving unit. The driving force for the vertical moving unit and the gripper includes a cylinder 435, a vertical drive motor 440, and a horizontal drive motor 442; the gripper includes an upper clamping plate 432, a lower clamping plate 433, and a support frame 434. The lower clamping plate 433 is fixed inside the support frame 434, and the upper clamping plate 432 is installed at the output end of the cylinder 435. The cylinder 435 is installed inside the support frame 434 and fixed on the opposite side of the lower clamping plate 433, so that the clamping surface of the upper clamping plate 432 is opposite to the clamping surface of the lower clamping plate 433; when the cylinder 435 is activated, it drives the upper clamping plate 432 to move closer to or away from the lower clamping plate 433. The horizontal moving unit includes a horizontal slide rail 437 mounted on the third frame 401 and a top plate 436 that slides with the slide rail. The vertical moving unit includes a vertical slide rail 438 set on the top plate 436 and slide grooves installed at both ends of the support frame 434 and cooperating with the vertical slide rail 438. A support plate 439 is also installed on the support frame 434, and an internally threaded tube is installed on the support plate 439. A screw 441 that is threaded with the internally threaded tube is installed at the output end of the vertical drive motor 440. When the vertical drive motor 440 is activated, the internally threaded tube is driven to move axially along the screw 441, thereby driving the support frame 434 to move in the vertical direction. A drive chain is installed at the output end of the horizontal drive motor 442, and a push rod that is adapted to the drive chain is installed on the top plate 436. By driving the drive chain to move, the top plate 436 is driven to move in the horizontal direction.

[0037] The arrangement direction of the pallets 402 is defined as the X direction, and the arrangement direction of the horizontal plane perpendicular to the pallets 402 is defined as the Y direction. The fragrance material is conveyed from the previous station to the station in this embodiment along the X direction by the feeding unit, and the fragrance bones in the fragrance material enter the station in this embodiment in an attitude parallel to the Y direction. When it is necessary to transfer the fragrance material to the conveyor belt 403, the cylinder 435 is activated to drive the upper clamping plate 432 away from the lower clamping plate 433 and move the upper clamping plate 432 to a preset position. Then, the vertical drive motor 440 is activated to adjust the height of the support frame 434 so that the fragrance material is directly facing the clamping area between the upper clamping plate 432 and the lower clamping plate 433. After the height of the support frame 434 is fixed, the vertical drive motor 440 is turned off, and the horizontal drive motor 442 is activated to drive the support frame 434 closer to the fragrance material until the upper clamping plate 432 and the lower clamping plate 433 are located at the desired position. At the clamping position of the fragrance material, the cylinder 435 is activated again, driving the upper clamping plate 432 to move closer to the lower clamping plate 433, so that the upper clamping plate 432 and the lower clamping plate 433 clamp the fragrance material. After the fragrance material is clamped, the fragrance material feeding unit is released, and the horizontal drive motor 442 is activated again, driving the support frame 434 to move closer to the material support belt 403. After the fragrance material is completely detached from the feeding unit, the vertical drive motor 440 is activated simultaneously, driving the support frame 434 to move upward, so that the fragrance material enters the concave range of the material support belt 403 in an attitude parallel to the Y direction. Then, the driving direction of the vertical drive motor 440 is changed, and the cylinder 435 is activated at the same time, driving the upper clamping plate 432 away from the lower clamping plate 433, releasing the fragrance material, and placing the fragrance material on the concave range of the material support belt 403. After the fragrance material is placed in place, the drive unit is adjusted to reset the support frame 434. After the incense material is rolled into a round shape, the drive unit starts and transfers the finished incense to the feeding unit, which then transfers it to the next workstation, completing all the rolling steps. Both the lower clamping plate 433 and the upper clamping plate 432 have shims installed at their clamping ends. The surface of the shim installed on the upper clamping plate 432 is curved. By setting the shim with a curved surface, the chance of the incense stick being broken can be reduced, improving clamping efficiency. Rollers 443 are installed at the bottom of the third frame 401, and a control box for installing electrical components is located at the front bottom of the third frame 401.
