[0083] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0084] Achieving full-process automation and significantly improving efficiency: This invention achieves unmanned continuous production of Aizhu from bulk materials to packaged finished products by improving the coordinated operation of mechanisms such as material feeding, centrifugal sorting, stable conveying, multi-station material receiving, posture flipping, automatic bagging, synchronous sealing and cutting, online heat shrinking and finished product ejection. This significantly improves packaging efficiency and reduces labor costs and labor intensity.
[0085] A unique mobile receiving and switching mechanism effectively protects the product: By setting up a mobile guide receiving tray with multiple V-grooves, and cooperating with a sliding table module and cylinder drive, automatic circulation and switching of the receiving station are achieved. Photoelectric sensing and material blocking device linkage control ensure orderly receiving. This design avoids wear caused by repeated receiving at a fixed position on the end of the support column, ensuring the product's appearance quality.
[0086] The flipping and pushing mechanisms are ingeniously designed and seamlessly integrated: the flipping mechanism uses a motor-driven cross-blade to rotate, gently and accurately flipping the horizontal moxa sticks 90 degrees to a vertical position. Its slanted arc-shaped outer wall design allows it to smoothly push the preceding row of moxa sticks during release, ensuring proper spacing. The pushing and bagging mechanisms combine cylinders and slide modules, providing smooth and controllable force, ensuring that the moxa sticks are neatly arranged and do not scatter during transfer and bagging.
[0087] Integrating heat shrinking and transfer functions, the compact and efficient layout features a heat shrinking and transfer mechanism that combines load-bearing, lateral transfer, hot air circulation heating, and temperature control. It provides support during bagging, automatically moves to the heating station for heat shrinking and setting after sealing and cutting, and then transfers to the ejection station. This integrated design reduces material handling between processes, shortens production cycle time, and makes the equipment layout more compact and rational.
[0088] Highly consistent packaging quality: Fully automated process control ensures a high degree of consistency in the quantity, arrangement, and packaging shape of each bag of moxa sticks. Heat sealing and heat cutting are completed simultaneously, resulting in a secure and aesthetically pleasing seal; controllable heat shrinking technology ensures the packaging bag fits tightly to the product, providing excellent shaping and enhancing the overall product quality.

[0112] In the embodiments of this invention, please refer to Figures 1 to 21 An automatic directional bagging and packaging device for moxa sticks includes a workbench 1 and a workbench 2 connected thereto. The workbench 2 is equipped with a power control cabinet 18. The device also includes:
[0113] The material bin 3 is placed on the ground, and the material bin 3 is filled with moxa sticks;
[0114] The lifting conveyor 4 is connected to the workbench 1. The bottom end of the lifting conveyor 4 is located inside the hopper 3 and is used to lift and convey the Aizhu inside the hopper 3.
[0115] Centrifugal disc sorting and feeding machine 5 is connected to workbench 1 and located at the top and bottom of lifting conveyor 4. It is used to receive and sort the columns for conveying.
[0116] The material conveying mechanism 6 is connected to the workbench 1 and is located downstream of the centrifugal disc sorting and feeding machine 5, and is used to convey the moxa sticks.
[0117] The mobile guide receiving mechanism 7 is connected to the workbench 2 and is located downstream of the conveying mechanism 6. It is used to receive the moxa sticks conveyed by the conveying mechanism 6.
[0118] The fixed guide receiving tray 8 is connected to the workbench 2 and is located downstream of the moving guide receiving mechanism 7. The fixed guide receiving tray 8 is provided with several sets of V-shaped grooves.
[0119] The pushing mechanism 9 is connected to the workbench 2 and is located on top of the moving guide receiving mechanism 7. It is used to push the Aizhu on the moving guide receiving mechanism 7 to the fixed guide receiving plate 8.
[0120] The flipping mechanism 10 is connected to the pushing mechanism 9 and is located downstream of the fixed guide receiving plate 8. It is used to flip the horizontally placed moxa stick to a vertical state.
[0121] The longitudinal receiving mechanism 11 is connected to the workbench 2 and is located downstream of the flipping mechanism 10. It is used to support the vertically positioned moxa column.
[0122] The bagging guide 12 is connected to the workbench 2 and is located downstream of the longitudinal receiving mechanism 11. The rear end of the bagging guide 12 is a V-shaped structure to facilitate bagging.
[0123] The packaging mechanism 13 is connected to the workbench 2 and is located at the bottom of the fixed guide receiving tray 8. The packaging mechanism 13 is located upstream of the bagging guide groove 12 and is used to push the moxa stick.
[0124] The sealing and cutting mechanism 14 is connected to the workbench 2 and is located downstream of the bagging guide 12. It is used to seal and cut the packaging bag filled with moxa sticks.
[0125] The baffle plate 15 is connected to the workbench 2 and is located downstream of the sealing and cutting mechanism 14;

[0127] The finished product ejection mechanism 17 is connected to the worktable 2 and is used to eject the heat shrinking and shaping transfer mechanism 16.
[0128] Bulk moxa sticks in silo 3 are fed into a centrifugal disc sorting and feeding machine 5 via a lifting conveyor 4 and arranged into a single row. The conveying mechanism 6 then stably transports them to a moving guide receiving mechanism 7, which receives the sticks sequentially. Once full, the moving guide receiving mechanism 7 pushes the sticks to a fixed guide receiving tray 8 via a pushing mechanism 9. The tray is then adjusted to a vertical position by a flipping mechanism 10. A longitudinal receiving mechanism 11 receives the vertical moxa sticks and lowers them to a bagging guide trough 12. A bagging mechanism 13 pushes the sticks into a bag, and a sealing and cutting mechanism 14 seals and cuts the bag. The bagged product is then heat-shrinked by a heat-shrinking and shaping transfer mechanism 16 and finally output by a finished product ejection mechanism 17. The entire process is uniformly controlled by a power control cabinet 18, achieving efficient, continuous, and reliable automated packaging.
[0129] As one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The material conveying mechanism 6 includes:
[0130] Fixed bracket 61 is connected to workbench 1;
[0131] The conveyor belt 62 is connected to the fixed frame 61, and the conveyor belt 62 is connected to the output end of the conveyor motor.
[0132] Side baffle 63 is connected to fixed frame 61 and is located on both sides of conveyor belt 62;
[0133] Fixture 2 64 is connected to fixture 1 61;
[0134] A screw 65 passes through a fixing bracket 64 and is fixed to the fixing bracket 64 by a nut 68. The screw 65 and the nut 68 are threadedly connected.

[0136] Spring 67 has one end connected to top plate 66 and the other end abutting against the top of fixing bracket 64.
[0137] The conveyor motor drives the conveyor belt 62 to rotate. The conveyor belt 62 receives the moxibustion sticks output by the centrifugal disc sorting and feeding machine 5 and transports them horizontally. The side baffle 63 prevents the moxibustion sticks from deviating from the conveyor belt 62. The top plate 66 provides adjustable downward pressure through the spring 67, increasing the friction between the moxibustion sticks and the conveyor belt 62, preventing the moxibustion sticks from slipping or stopping during the conveying process, and ensuring smooth and orderly conveying.
[0138] As one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 7 to 9 The moving guide receiving mechanism 7 includes:

[0146] Fixed rod 710 is connected to workbench 2;
[0147] The photoelectric sensor switch 711 is connected to the fixed rod 710.
[0148] The receiving tray 71 is equipped with multiple sets of V-shaped grooves to receive the cisterns from the conveyor belt 62. The slide module 74 drives the receiving tray 71 to move laterally, so that the different V-shaped grooves are aligned with the material receiving direction in sequence. The cylinder 72 controls the longitudinal advance and retreat of the receiving tray. When receiving material, it advances to the end of the conveyor belt 62. After it is full, it retreats and moves laterally to change position, so as to avoid wear on the end face of the cistern.

During the rotation, the V-shaped support surface of the cross blade 104 receives the horizontal moxa sticks and flips them 90 degrees to a vertical state. The slanted arc design of its outer wall can push the previous set of moxa sticks forward a distance when the next set of moxa sticks is conveyed to the longitudinal receiving mechanism 11, ensuring the placement of subsequent moxa sticks.
[0163] As one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 , Figures 12 to 15 The longitudinal receiving mechanism 11 includes:
[0164] Cylinder 4111 is connected to workbench 2;

The toothed groove 114 on the base plate 112 corresponds to the blade gap of the cross blade 104, receiving the moxa sticks that fall vertically after being flipped. The side baffle 115 limits the moxa sticks from the side. When the base plate 112 is full of moxa sticks, cylinder 111 drives the base plate 112 to descend as a whole, conveying the row of vertical moxa sticks downward until it is aligned with the inlet of the bagging guide groove 12.

[0172] Top material block 133 is connected to horizontal plate 132.
[0173] The bagging guide 12 is an open-front guide trough with a V-shaped rear end, facilitating manual or mechanical bagging. When the vertical moxa stick is lowered by the longitudinal receiving mechanism 11 to be flush with the bagging guide 12, cylinder 5 131 drives the horizontal plate 132 and the top material block 133 to move forward, smoothly pushing the entire row of moxa sticks into the pre-packaged bag along the bagging guide 12.
[0174] In this embodiment, the horizontal plate 132 is connected to the slider 134, the slider 134 is connected to the slide rail 135, and the slide rail 135 is connected to the worktable 2.
[0175] As one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 , Figures 12 to 14 , Figure 16 The sealing and cutting mechanism 14 includes:
[0176] Cylinder 6141 is connected to workbench 22;
[0177] Heat-sealing plate 142 is connected to the output end of cylinder six 141;
[0178] Sliding rod 143 is connected to heat sealing plate 142 and slidably connected to workbench 2;
[0179] Cylinder 7144 is connected to workbench 22;
[0180] A hot cutting blade 145 is connected to the output end of cylinder seven 144, and the hot cutting blade 145 is located on top of the heat sealing plate 142;
[0181] The sliding rod 146 is connected to the hot cutting blade 145 and is slidably connected to the worktable 2.
[0182] After the bagged moxa sticks are pushed past the bag opening, cylinder six 141 drives the heat sealing plate 142 to move upward, and cylinder seven 144 drives the hot cutting blade 145 to cut downward. The hot cutting blade 145, together with the heat sealing plate 142, heats and seals the bag opening filled with moxa sticks. The hot cutting blade 145 cuts the packaging bag at the heat sealing position, completing the sealing and separation at the same time, forming an independent bagged product. Sliding rod two 143 and sliding rod three 146 ensure that the heat sealing plate 142 and the hot cutting blade 145 move smoothly.
[0183] As one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 , Figure 17 , Figures 19 to 21 The heat-shrinkable shaping and transfer mechanism 16 includes:
[0184] Cylinder 8161 is connected to worktable 22;
[0185] The housing 164 is connected to the output end of cylinder 8 161 and is slidably connected to workbench 2. The housing 164 has holes and slots on both the front and rear sides. The housing 164 is equipped with several sets of heating tubes 166.
[0186] Fan 165 is connected to the top of the enclosure 164 and communicates with its interior;
[0187] The support plate 167 is located inside and connected to the housing 164, and the support plate 167 has several sets of through holes.
[0188] Side baffle 3 168 is connected to bearing plate 167;
[0189] Screw 169 is connected to bearing plate 167, and a support platform is provided at the bottom of screw 169.
[0190] Nut 2, 1610, is threadedly connected to screw 2, 169.
[0191] Top plate 21611, placed on the support platform;
[0192] Spring 2 1612, one end abuts against nut 2 1610, the other end abuts against top plate 2 1611;
[0193] Thermostat 1613 is connected to housing 164 and is used to control the heating temperature and time of heating tube 166.
[0194] Before the packaging mechanism 13 operates, cylinder 8 161 drives the box 164 to move laterally, so that the box 164 is downstream of the sealing mechanism 14. At this time, the packaging bag is on the support plate 167. When the packaging mechanism 13 operates, it pushes the moxa stick into the packaging bag. At this time, the support plate 167 supports the moxa stick and the packaging bag to prevent the packaging bag from tilting downward. After the packaging bag is sealed and cut, cylinder 8 161 drives the box 164 to move in the opposite direction and return to the downstream of the finished product ejection mechanism 17. At this time, the temperature controller 1613 controls the heating tube 166 and the fan 165 to work. The heating tube 166 heats up, and the fan 165 promotes the circulation of hot air to uniformly heat shrink the packaging bag.
[0195] In this embodiment, the output end of cylinder 8 161 is connected to slider 3 162, slider 3 162 is slidably connected to slide rail 3 163, slide rail 3 163 is connected to workbench 2, and slider 3 162 is connected to housing 164.
[0196] As one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 , Figure 17 and Figure 18 The finished product ejection mechanism 17 includes:
[0197] Fixture 4 171 is connected to workbench 2 2;
[0198] Cylinder 9 172 is connected to mounting bracket 4 171;
[0199] Horizontal plate 2 173 is connected to the output end of cylinder 9 172;
[0200] Top material block 2174 is connected to horizontal plate 2173;
[0201] The sliding rod 4 175 is connected to the horizontal plate 2 173 and is slidably connected to the fixed frame 4 171.
[0202] After heat shrinking and shaping, cylinder nine 172 is activated, driving horizontal plate two 173 and top material block two 174 to move forward along sliding rod four 175, pushing the finished product in box 164 out from the other side outlet, completing the entire packaging process, and the equipment is reset to start the next cycle.
[0203] The working principle of this invention is as follows: First stage: orderly feeding and distribution
[0204] Bulk moxa sticks are stored in silo 3, and are vertically lifted and conveyed to centrifugal disc sorting and feeding machine 5 by lifting conveyor 4. Centrifugal disc sorting and feeding machine 5 sorts and organizes the incoming material, arranging the messy moxa sticks into a single orderly column before sending them out.
[0205] The moxa sticks enter the conveying mechanism 6 in an orderly manner: the conveyor belt 62 horizontally conveys the moxa sticks under the drive of the motor. The side baffles 63 on both sides prevent the moxa sticks from deviating. At the same time, the top plate 66 provides adjustable pressure under the action of the spring 67 to ensure that the moxa sticks are conveyed smoothly on the conveyor belt 62 without slipping or stopping.
[0206] The moxa sticks are conveyed to the end, where they are received by the moving guide receiving mechanism 7. The core of this mechanism is a receiving tray 71 with multiple V-shaped grooves. A sliding table module 74 drives the receiving tray 71 to move laterally, aligning its different V-shaped grooves sequentially with the inlet. A cylinder 72 drives the receiving tray 71 to extend longitudinally to receive or retract. When the photoelectric sensor switch 711 detects that the current V-shaped groove is full, it sends a signal, the receiving tray 71 retracts, and the sliding table module 74 drives it to move laterally one station, aligning the next empty V-shaped groove with the inlet. The receiving tray 71 then extends again to receive. This cycle achieves automatic rotation of the receiving station, preventing wear on the moxa stick end face.
[0207] Phase Two: Arranging and Flipping the Posture
[0208] When receiving tray 71 is full of moxa sticks and moves to align with the downstream fixed guide receiving tray 8, the pushing mechanism 9 is activated: the slide module 92 of the pushing mechanism 9 drives the pushing plate 95 to move to the beginning of the row of moxa sticks. Subsequently, cylinder 94 actuates, pushing the pushing plate 95 downward. Then, the slide module 92 drives the pushing plate 95 to move, smoothly pushing the entire row of moxa sticks from receiving tray 71 into the corresponding V-shaped groove 2 of the fixed guide receiving tray 8, and continuing to push forward.
[0209] The moxa stick is pushed to the flipping mechanism 10: the motor 101 drives the connecting shaft 103 and the cross blade 104 to rotate through the transmission belt 102. The V-shaped support surface of the cross blade 104 supports the horizontal moxa stick during rotation, flips it 90 degrees to become vertical and then releases it. Its oblique arc-shaped outer wall can push the previous set of moxa sticks forward when it is released, ensuring the arrangement gap.
[0210] Phase 3: Bagging and Sealing
[0211] The cylinder 111 of the longitudinal receiving mechanism 11 drives the base plate 112 to rise, so that its tooth groove 114 is aligned with the gap of the blade of the cross blade 104 to receive the vertically falling Ai column, and the side baffle 115 provides lateral restraint.
[0212] Manual or robotic arm pre-places the packaging bag on the rear end of the bagging guide 12. After the moxa sticks are arranged on the base plate 112, cylinder four 111 drives the base plate 112 to descend as a whole, so that the bottom of the moxa sticks is flush with the inlet of the bagging guide 12. At the same time, cylinder eight 161 of the heat shrinking and shaping transfer mechanism 16 drives the box 164 to move laterally, so that its supporting plate 167 moves to below the outlet of the bagging guide 12, ready to support the packaging bag.
[0213] When the cylinder 5 131 of the pushing mechanism 13 is activated, it drives the top material block 133 to move forward, pushing the row of vertical columns on the bottom plate 112 into the packaging bag along the bag guide groove 12. The bearing plate 167 provides support from below to prevent the packaging bag from sagging.
[0214] After bagging, the sealing and cutting mechanism 14 works: cylinder six 141 drives the heat sealing plate 142 to rise and support the bag opening, and cylinder seven 144 drives the heat cutting knife 145 to fall. Under heating conditions, the sealing and cutting of the bag opening are completed simultaneously to form an independent bagged product.
[0215] Phase 4: Heat Shrink Setting and Finished Product Output
[0216] After sealing and cutting, cylinder 8 161 drives the box 164 carrying the bagged product to move in the opposite direction and return to the downstream of the finished product ejection mechanism 17; the temperature controller 1613 controls the heating tube 166 to heat up, and the fan 165 promotes the circulation of hot air to uniformly heat shrink the packaging bag, so that it fits tightly against the moxibustion column and is shaped; after heat shrinking, cylinder 9 172 of the finished product ejection mechanism 17 is activated, driving the top material block 2 174 to move forward and push the finished product out from the other side of the box 164, completing the entire process.
