Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of craft incense technology, specifically to a tailless, linear craft incense stick. Background Technology
[0002] Craft incense is an important carrier of incense culture. Traditional bamboo stick craft incense typically consists of a bamboo stick core and an incense stick body covering the core. One end of the bamboo stick extends into the incense stick body to form the incense foot, which is used to fix it in the incense burner. However, this structure has many drawbacks: First, the incense foot part only serves a supporting function and cannot burn, resulting in waste of bamboo sticks and inconvenience in cleaning up the incense residue after burning. Second, traditional bamboo stick craft incense relies on incense burners for placement, limiting its use and making it difficult to adapt to diverse scenarios such as home tabletop display, tea ceremony decoration, and cultural and creative product display. Third, the connection between the bamboo stick and the incense stick body is prone to cracking and detachment, affecting the structural stability of the incense stick body and the burning effect.
[0003] With the popularization of incense culture and the improvement of people's quality of life, the market has put forward higher requirements for the structural innovation and scene adaptability of craft incense, and there is an urgent need for a craft incense product that is free of incense sticks, applicable to multiple scenes, and structurally stable.
[0004] Therefore, in order to avoid the shortcomings of the existing technology, it is necessary to improve the existing technology. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the prior art and provide a stickless, linear incense stick, which aims to solve the problems of inconvenient cleaning of the incense root, limited use scenarios, and structural defects in traditional bamboo stick incense. At the same time, it strengthens the cultural expression attributes of incense and helps to promote the popularization of incense culture in daily life.
[0006] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] A type of sticky incense with no exposed end includes a core, an incense body, and a decorative layer. The incense body has a cylindrical linear structure that tightly covers the outside of the core and is formed by pressing wood powder-based fragrance raw materials using a mold. The decorative layer is protruding from the outer surface of the incense body and consists of text or auspicious patterns, integrally formed with the incense body. The ends of the core are removed so that the end faces of the core and the incense body are flush, forming an integrated linear structure with no exposed end.
[0008] Furthermore, the decorative layer is formed simultaneously with the fragrance body through a mold pressing process, with no separation gap between the two.
[0009] Furthermore, the diameter of the core is 0.8mm to 2.2mm.
[0010] Furthermore, the removal method for the core end is precision sawing or laser cutting, and the cut core end face is flat and burr-free.
[0011] Furthermore, the diameter of the fragrance body is 0.9mm~4.5mm, and the length is 5cm~25cm.
[0012] Furthermore, the height of the decorative layer is 0.1mm~0.5mm, forming a clear three-dimensional texture with the outer surface of the fragrance.
[0013] Furthermore, the fragrance is a mixture of natural wood powder and natural bamboo charcoal powder, and the fineness of the fragrance powder is above 80 mesh.
[0014] Furthermore, the core is a bamboo skewer or a wood fiber rod, and the cross-section of the fragrance body is a regular hexagon or a circle.
[0015] Furthermore, the decorative layer is a raised decorative layer, a hot stamping layer, or an engraved layer.
[0016] Furthermore, the production process of the tailless, linear incense stick includes the following steps:
[0017] Step (1): Core selection: Select bamboo skewers or wood fiber rods with a diameter of 0.8mm to 2.2mm as the core;
[0018] Step (2): Preparation of fragrance raw materials. Take the fragrance raw materials according to the proportion, mix the fragrance raw materials evenly and stir into a paste-like fragrance base;
[0019] Step (3): Mold pressing and shaping. Select a pressing mold with text and auspicious patterns on the surface, fill the mold cavity with the paste-like incense blank, put in the bamboo stick core and position it in the center, start the mold pressing equipment to make the incense blank tightly cover the core, and at the same time, let the text and patterns on the surface of the mold be pressed onto the surface of the incense body.
[0020] Step (4): Processing the unsticked structure: After the incense body has been initially cured in the mold, demold it and remove the excess incense sticks from the core along the end of the core and the incense body to obtain an integrated linear craft incense product without the sticked tail.
[0021] Step (5): Subsequent processing: air-dry or bake the finished integrated linear craft incense to complete the preparation of the stickless linear craft incense.
[0022] Compared to existing technologies, this invention tightly encapsulates the fragrance body on the outside of the core, formed by pressing wood powder-based fragrance raw materials using a mold; a decorative layer is protruding from the outer surface of the fragrance body, featuring text or auspicious patterns, and is integrally formed with the fragrance body; the ends of the core are removed, making the end face of the core flush with the end face of the fragrance body, forming an integrated linear structure without exposed ends, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] 1. Stable structure and convenient use: By sawing off the incense stick base of the core, an integrated linear structure without the stick tail is formed. This not only preserves the supporting role of the core for the incense body, ensuring the structural strength and burning stability of the incense, but also completely solves the problem of inconvenient cleaning of the incense root after burning in traditional incense, while eliminating the connection defects between the core and the incense body.
[0024] 2. Expanded application scenarios and strong adaptability: The linear structure without the stick ends breaks the limitation of traditional bamboo stick incense being only inserted into incense burners. It can be placed directly on tabletop incense holders, tea trays, cultural and creative display stands, etc., making it suitable for diverse scenarios such as home incense burning, tea gatherings, and cultural displays, thus enhancing the product's practicality and flexibility.
[0025] 3. Cultural Empowerment and Excellent Aesthetics: The decorative layer on the outer surface of the incense can be formed through raised, hot stamping, or engraving techniques. The text and auspicious patterns are integrated with the incense body, enhancing the cultural expression attributes of the craft incense. It has both practical and aesthetic value, meeting the needs of the dissemination of incense culture.
[0026] 4. Saves materials and is environmentally friendly: After sawing off the incense stick base, the waste of bamboo sticks is reduced, and the incense body is formed by molding and pressing, which improves the utilization rate of the spice raw materials and is in line with the green and environmentally friendly product design concept.

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.
[0036] like Figures 1 to 6 The present invention discloses a tailless linear incense stick, comprising a core 1, an incense body 2, and a decorative layer 3. The incense body 1 has a cylindrical linear structure, tightly covering the outside of the core 2, and is formed by pressing wood powder-based fragrance raw materials using a mold. The decorative layer 3 protrudes from the outer surface of the incense body 2, and is a text or auspicious pattern structure, integrally formed with the incense body 2. The ends of the core 1 are removed, making the end face of the core 1 flush with the end face of the incense body 2, forming an integrated linear structure without an exposed tail. It has the following beneficial effects:
[0037] 1. Stable structure and convenient use: By sawing off the incense base of core 1, an integrated linear structure without the stick end is formed. This not only retains the supporting role of core 1 for incense body 2, ensuring the structural strength and burning stability of incense body 2, but also completely solves the problem of inconvenient cleaning of incense roots after burning in traditional incense, and eliminates the connection defects between core 1 and incense body 2.
[0038] 2. Expanded application scenarios and strong adaptability: The linear structure without the stick ends breaks the limitation of traditional bamboo stick incense being only inserted into incense burners. It can be placed directly on tabletop incense holders, tea trays, cultural and creative display stands, etc., making it suitable for diverse scenarios such as home incense burning, tea gatherings, and cultural displays, thus enhancing the product's practicality and flexibility.
[0039] 3. Cultural Empowerment and Excellent Aesthetics: The decorative layer 3 on the outer surface of the fragrance body 2 can be formed by raising, hot stamping or engraving. The text and auspicious patterns are integrated with the fragrance body, which strengthens the cultural expression attribute of the craft incense, and has both practical and ornamental value, which meets the needs of the dissemination of incense culture.
[0040] 4. Saves materials and is environmentally friendly: After sawing off the incense stick base, the waste of bamboo stick materials is reduced, and the incense body 2 adopts a mold pressing process, which improves the utilization rate of the spice raw materials and conforms to the product design concept of green and environmentally friendly.
[0041] The decorative layer 3 is formed simultaneously with the fragrance body 2 through a mold pressing process, with no separation gap between the two.
[0042] In practice, the diameter of core 1 is 0.8mm to 2.2mm.
[0043] In practice, the removal method at the end of the core 1 is precision sawing or laser cutting, and the end face of the core 1 after cutting is flat and burr-free.
[0044] In practice, the diameter of the fragrance body 2 is 0.9mm~4.5mm and the length is 5cm~25cm.
[0045] The height of the decorative layer is 0.1mm~0.5mm, forming a clear three-dimensional texture with the outer surface of the fragrance body 2.
[0046] Incense Body 2 is a combination of natural wood powder and natural bamboo charcoal powder. The powder fineness of Incense Body 2 is above 80 mesh, which helps to enhance the overall aesthetics of the incense, facilitates its complete and uniform combustion, and thus enhances the incense-tasting experience. Incense Body 2 is sturdy and elastic, not easy to break, has a longer burning time, the powder is not easy to fall off, it is easy to ignite and does not go out, produces less smoke, and has a delicate fragrance.
[0047] The core 1 is made of bamboo skewers or wood fiber rods. The cross-section of the incense body 2 is hexagonal or circular. The cross-section of the core 1 is circular, allowing for easy and thorough contact between the core 1 and the incense body 2, thus making the structure of the incense more stable. When bamboo skewers are used for the core 1, they need to be soaked in salt water for one day and then dried to obtain bamboo skewers with an uneven, rough surface. When wood fiber rods are used for the core 1, the surface of the wood fibers has a honeycomb structure. The cross-section of the incense body 2 is hexagonal or circular. Incense with a hexagonal cross-section is easy to insert and display and can prevent rotation.
[0048] The decorative layer 3 is a raised decorative layer, a hot stamping layer, or an engraving layer. The raised decorative layer 3 improves the structural strength of the craft incense, making the craft incense more three-dimensional. Hot stamping or engraving makes the appearance of the craft incense more beautiful.
[0049] The production process of the tailless stick-shaped incense stick includes the following steps:
[0050] Step (1): Core selection: Select bamboo skewers or wood fiber rods with a diameter of 0.8mm to 2.2mm as the core;
[0051] Step (2): Preparation of fragrance raw materials. Take the fragrance raw materials according to the proportion, mix the fragrance raw materials evenly and stir into a paste-like fragrance base;
[0052] Step (3): Mold pressing and shaping. Select a pressing mold with text and auspicious patterns on the surface, fill the mold cavity with the paste-like incense blank, put in the bamboo stick core and position it in the center, start the mold pressing equipment to make the incense blank tightly cover the core, and at the same time, let the text and patterns on the surface of the mold be pressed onto the surface of the incense body.
[0053] Step (4): Processing the unsticked structure: After the incense body has been initially cured in the mold, demold it and remove the excess incense sticks from the core along the end of the core and the incense body to obtain an integrated linear craft incense product without the sticked tail.
[0054] Step (5): Subsequent processing: air-dry or bake the finished integrated linear craft incense to complete the preparation of the stickless linear craft incense.
[0055] Example 1
[0056] The specific preparation and structure are as follows:
[0057] 1. Core Selection: A bamboo stick with a diameter of 1.1mm is selected as core 1. This diameter bamboo stick has both good support strength and stability when burning incense. It will not affect the fragrance coating effect due to being too thick, nor will it cause the incense to break easily due to being too thin.
[0058] 2. Preparation of raw materials for incense: Take 60 parts wood powder, 15 parts nanmu powder, 10 parts adhesive powder, 8 parts sandalwood powder, 5 parts benzoin powder and 20 parts water by weight. Mix the above raw materials evenly and stir into a paste-like incense base. The ratio of raw materials takes into account both the shape of the incense body and the aroma layers when burning incense.
[0059] 3. Mold pressing and molding: Select a pressing mold 4 with the words "Peace and Joy" and auspicious cloud patterns engraved on the surface. Fill the mold cavity with the paste-like incense blank, put in the bamboo stick core 1 and position it in the center. Start the mold pressing equipment and press for 30 minutes under the conditions of pressure value of 5MPa and temperature of 45℃, so that the incense blank tightly covers the core 1. At the same time, the words and patterns on the surface of the mold are simultaneously pressed onto the surface of the incense body 2, forming a decorative layer 3 that is integrated with the incense body 2.
[0060] 4. Processing without stick tail: After the incense body 2 has been initially cured in the mold, it is demolded. Using precision sawing equipment, the incense foot part of the traditional bamboo stick incense is sawn off at the same position as the end of the core body 1 and the incense body 2, so as to obtain an integrated linear craft incense product without stick tail. The sawed end face is flat and burr-free.
[0061] 5. Post-processing: Place the finished product in a well-ventilated and dry environment to air dry for 72 hours. After air drying, the moisture content of the fragrance body 2 should be controlled within 8%, thus completing the preparation of the sticky tail-style incense.
[0062] The incense stick with no tack tail prepared in this embodiment can be directly placed on various utensils such as incense trays, incense holders, and incense stands. It is suitable for home incense burning, tea gatherings, cultural and creative displays, etc., without being limited to traditional incense burners. The flame is stable during the burning process, with no broken or overturned incense. The decorative layer 3 will not fall off during the burning process, and the overall structure of the incense body is stable.
[0063] Example 2
[0064] The specific preparation and structure are as follows:
[0065] 1. Core Selection: Use ultra-fine bamboo sticks with a diameter of 0.8mm as core 1. This diameter core is suitable for thin and light fragrance body 2, taking into account both portability and support, and is suitable for small space fragrance burning scenarios.
[0066] 2. Preparation of fragrance raw materials: By weight, take 55 parts wood powder, 12 parts agarwood powder, 8 parts adhesive powder, 6 parts ambergris powder, 3 parts clove powder, and 18 parts water. Mix the raw materials and grind them into a fine paste through a colloid mill to improve the density and fragrance purity of the fragrance body after molding.
[0067] 3. Mold pressing and molding: A precision pressing mold 4 with the auspicious words "Fu Lu Shou Xi" and lotus flower patterns engraved on the surface is used. The paste-like incense blank is injected into the mold, the bamboo stick core 1 is inserted and fixed in the center by the positioning buckle, and pressed for 40 minutes under the conditions of pressure value of 4MPa and temperature of 40℃, so that the pattern is deeply imprinted on the surface of the incense body 2, forming a clear and integrated pattern layer 3 with the incense body 2.
[0068] 4. No-tick tail structure treatment: After demolding, use laser cutting equipment to saw off the excess incense sticks of the core 1 along the tangent line of the end of the incense body 2. The cut end surface is smooth and dust-free, avoiding the damage to the incense body caused by traditional sawing.
[0069] 5. Post-processing: Place the finished product in a constant temperature and humidity drying oven (temperature 35℃, humidity 40%) and dry for 48 hours. After drying, the moisture content of the fragrance body 2 should be controlled at 6%~7% to ensure that there is no flameout or sparking when burning the incense.
[0070] The incense prepared in this embodiment is small in size and can be placed directly in small spaces such as tea trays and corners of desks, making it suitable for office incense burning, travel incense burning, and other scenarios. When burning, the fragrance is light and long-lasting, the decorative layer 3 remains intact during the burning process, and there is no separation between the core 1 and the fragrance body 2, demonstrating excellent structural stability.
[0071] Example 3
[0072] The specific preparation and structure are as follows:
[0073] 1. Core Selection: A thickened bamboo stick with a diameter of 1.6mm is selected as core 1. This diameter core has higher support strength and is suitable for thicker incense sticks 2, making it suitable for long-term incense burning scenarios.
[0074] 2. Preparation of fragrance raw materials: By weight, take 65 parts wood powder, 10 parts sandalwood powder, 12 parts adhesive powder, 8 parts frankincense powder, 4 parts patchouli powder, and 22 parts water. Mix the raw materials and add an appropriate amount of nanmu essential oil (accounting for 2% of the total raw material weight). Stir evenly to make a thick fragrance base, which enhances the layering and lasting effect of the fragrance.
[0075] 3. Mold pressing: A large pressing mold 4 with landscape patterns and the words "Ning Jing Zhi Yuan" (meaning "tranquility leads to far-reaching vision") is used. The incense blank is filled into the mold cavity, and the thickened bamboo core 1 is placed in and positioned. It is pressed for 25 minutes under a pressure of 6MPa and a temperature of 50℃, so that the incense body 2 tightly covers the core 1, the pattern is clear and three-dimensional, and a firm integrated structure is formed with the incense body 2.
[0076] 4. No stick tail structure treatment: After demolding, use mechanical sawing equipment with positioning fixtures to saw off the stick tail of the core body 1 at the same position at both ends of the stick body 2 to ensure that the finished product length is consistent (uniformly 15cm) and no stick tail is exposed.
[0077] 5. Post-processing: Allow the finished product to air dry naturally for 120 hours, turning it regularly during this period to ensure that the fragrance body 2 is evenly dried. After air drying, the moisture content of the fragrance body 2 should be controlled within 9%, and the burning time can reach more than 3 hours, making it suitable for use in large-scale tea parties, cultural and creative exhibitions and other occasions.
