Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of bamboo candle production, specifically to an integrated production system for wax impregnation and drying of bamboo candles. Background Technology
[0002] Bamboo candle production involves sawing bamboo into the required length, typically 10-30 centimeters, depending on the candle's specifications. The bamboo sections are then processed to remove the outer green skin and impurities, smoothing the surface. Paraffin wax is commonly used, with different melting points and hardnesses selected as needed. The wax blocks are broken into smaller pieces for easier melting. A suitable wick is then chosen, usually based on the bamboo's diameter and the candle's burning time. The wick is typically made of cotton, requiring good wax absorption and a stable flame during burning.
[0003] In the traditional bamboo candle production process, wax impregnation and drying are two relatively independent processes. After wax impregnation, it is difficult to continuously and quickly dry at low temperatures. Usually, after wax impregnation, the candle is placed on a rack to dry naturally before being impregnated again, and so on, until the desired size and shape of the product is achieved. During this process, workers need to constantly pick up and drop the candle, which is difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production and reduces the production speed. To address these issues, we propose an integrated wax impregnation and drying production system for bamboo candle production. Summary of the Invention

Step S3: Simultaneously, the controller controls the electric heating plate to work, which can heat the wax liquid in the wax impregnation cylinder 5, thereby ensuring uniform wax impregnation; Step S4: After the wax impregnation is completed, the controller controls the first electric cylinder to drive the lifting carrier plate to descend, so that the wax impregnation cylinder is separated from the circular cover. At the same time, the servo motor is started to drive the bamboo candle wick to continue to rotate, and the drying fan is started to dry the wax impregnated bamboo candle at low temperature.
[0007] As a further embodiment of the present invention: both of the lifting drive components include two fixed seats fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the circular cover, a second electric cylinder fixedly mounted on the upper surface of each of the two fixed seats, a connecting plate fixedly mounted on the telescopic end of each of the two second electric cylinders, and the bottom surface of each of the two connecting plates fixedly mounted to the outer surface of the protective cover.

By sensing the rotation angle of the rotating disk 10, the position of the bamboo candle wick 14 in the waxing and drying process can be controlled to ensure that each process is executed accurately.
[0022] In this embodiment, the bottom surface of the circular cover 1 is provided with a through hole 6, the wax impregnation cylinder 5 is located below the through hole 6, the upper surface of the circular cover 1 is provided with a material injection and exhaust port 20, the outer surface of the support base 3 is provided with a limiting groove 21, the outer surface of one end of the lifting plate 4 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 21, and two fixing blocks 18 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the protective cover 2.

The controller 15 enables the control operation of the integrated wax impregnation and drying production.
[0024] The working principle of this invention is as follows: First, the bamboo candle wick 14 is fixed on the bottom surface of the rotating disk 10. Then, the controller 15 starts the servo motor 7 to drive the rotating shaft 8 and the rotating disk 10 to rotate. The rotation angle of the rotating disk 10 can be monitored by the sensing plate 12 above the rotating disk 10 through the infrared sensor 13. When the rotating disk 10 rotates to the set position, the controller 15 stops the operation of the servo motor 7. Then, the controller 15 controls the first electric cylinder 16 to push the lifting plate 4 to rise, so that the wax-impregnating cylinder 5 can enter the circular cover 1, and the bamboo candle wick 14 can be impregnated in the wax liquid. At the same time, the controller 15 controls the electric heating plate 17 to work, which can heat the wax liquid in the wax-impregnating cylinder 5, and then ensure that the wax impregnation is uniform. After the waxing is completed, the controller 15 controls the first electric cylinder 16 to drive the lifting plate 4 to descend, so that the waxing cylinder 5 is separated from the circular cover 1. At the same time, the servo motor 7 is started to drive the bamboo candle wick 14 to continue to rotate, and the drying fan 23 is started to dry the waxed bamboo candle at low temperature. Then, following the above process, the next set of bamboo candle wicks 14 is waxed and dried at low temperature.
