It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0023] In order to solve the technical problem that the moxa produced by the prior art is not fluffy enough, resulting in uneven quality and hardness of the manufactured moxa sticks, the utility model provides a moxa stirring and feeding device, which can break up the moxa at the bottom of the cylinder. By stirring the moxa at the bottom of the cylinder, it can also prevent the moxa from being compacted to improve the fluffiness of the moxa.

[0024] It should be noted that the moxa stirring and feeding device described in the utility model is used for but not limited to the manufacture of moxa sticks. For the convenience of explanation, in the utility model, only the moxa stirring and feeding device applied to moxa stick manufacturing equipment is used as an example for explanation. The principle of applying the moxa stirring and feeding device to other types of equipment is essentially the same as the principle applied to the moxa stick manufacturing equipment, which will not be elaborated here.

[0025] See also Figures 1 to 5The moxa stirring and feeding device comprises: a cylinder 1, a stirring structure 2, a driving structure 3 and a dispersing structure 4, wherein a feeding port 11 is arranged at the bottom center of the cylinder 1; the stirring structure 2 comprises a rotating shaft 21 and a spiral blade 22, the rotating shaft 21 is vertically and rotatably installed at the center of the cylinder 1, the spiral blade 22 spirally surrounds the circumference of the rotating shaft 21 and is connected to the rotating shaft 21; the driving structure 3 is connected to the rotating shaft 21 to provide a driving force for driving the rotating shaft 21 to rotate; the dispersing structure 4 has a dispersing end extending from the center of the cylinder bottom to the edge of the cylinder bottom, the dispersing end is connected to the rotating shaft 21, and is provided to rotate around the rotating shaft 21 as the rotating shaft 21 rotates to stir the moxa at the bottom of the cylinder.

[0026] In this scheme, the stirring structure 2 is vertically rotatably installed in the center of the cylinder 1, the spiral blades 22 spirally surround the circumference of the rotating shaft 21 and are connected to the rotating shaft 21, the driving structure 3 is connected to the rotating shaft 21 to provide a driving force for driving the rotating shaft 21 to rotate, so that the rotation of the rotating shaft 21 drives the spiral blades 22 to spiral downward, and the moxa in the middle of the cylinder 1 is transported to the discharge port 11 set at the center of the bottom of the cylinder 1 so that the moxa can be discharged. The breaking up end of the breaking up structure 4 extends from the center of the bottom of the cylinder to the edge of the bottom of the cylinder, and the breaking up end is connected to the rotating shaft 21. Therefore, the breaking up end can rotate around the rotating shaft 21 at the bottom of the cylinder 1 under the rotation of the rotating shaft 21, thereby stirring the moxa at the bottom of the cylinder to achieve the purpose of breaking up the moxa.

[0027] It should be noted that the rotating shaft 21 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the cylinder 1 through a bearing, and the driving structure 3 is installed below the cylinder 1 and connected to one end of the rotating shaft 21 that passes downward through the bottom of the cylinder 1. A cylinder cover is provided on the top of the cylinder 1, and a discharge port 11 at the bottom of the cylinder 1 is connected to one side with a discharge pipe 12 to facilitate the discharge of moxa.

[0028] In order to realize the rotation of the driving shaft 21, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The driving structure 3 includes a motor, which is installed at the bottom of the cylinder 1, and the driving shaft of the motor is coaxially connected to the rotating shaft 21 to drive the rotating shaft 21 to rotate.

[0029] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the motor may drive the rotating shaft 21 to rotate via a crank-connecting rod mechanism, a planetary gear system or other transmission systems.

[0030] In order to further improve the effect of the device on the dispersion of moxa, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The stirring structure 2 also includes a dispersing blade 23, which is arranged on the top of the spiral blade 22. One end of the dispersing blade 23 is fixedly connected to the edge of the top of the spiral blade 22, and the other end of the dispersing blade 23 extends obliquely from the center of the cylinder 1 toward the edge of the cylinder 1 from bottom to top, so that the dispersing blade 23 can further disperse the moxa. The dispersing blade 23 is an arc-shaped structure, and its extension direction is consistent with the spiral direction of the spiral blade 22, so that the dispersing blade 23 drives the moxa downward during rotation, and can push the moxa toward the central discharge port 11.

[0031] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the shape of the scattering blades 23 is not limited to being an arc, and may also be other shapes such as a straight or corrugated structure.

[0032] In order to stir and break up the moxa at the bottom of the cylinder, in this embodiment, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The breaking up end of the breaking up structure 4 includes a scraper 41, and one end of the scraper 41 close to the center of the cylinder 1 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 21, and the scraper 41 extends from one side of the rotating shaft 21 in the center of the cylinder bottom to the edge of the cylinder bottom, and the bottom of the scraper 41 at least partially fits the bottom of the inner wall of the cylinder 1, so that during implementation, the moxa on the bottom of the cylinder can be scraped by the part that fits the bottom of the inner wall of the cylinder 1 to prevent the moxa from being compacted, and at the same time, the moxa is dispersed during rotation.

[0033] In one embodiment, see Figure 5 A scraping portion is formed in the middle of the bottom surface of the scraper 41, which is consistent with the length of the scraper 41 and fits with the bottom of the inner wall of the cylinder 1. Both sides of the scraper 41 are formed with stirring portions extending upward from the side of the scraper portion, so that the cross-section of the scraper 41 is designed as a V-shaped structure. The scraping portion is used to scrape up the moxa at the bottom of the cylinder, and the stirring portion is used to stir and break up the scraped moxa.

[0034] Furthermore, the angle formed between the two stirring parts is greater than 100°.

[0035] In other embodiments, the shape of the scraper 41 is not limited to a V-shaped structure in cross section, but may also be a plate-like structure arranged obliquely.

[0036] In order to facilitate the discharge, in this embodiment, the bottom of the cylinder 1 is set to a conical structure, so that the moxa is concentrated in the center of the cylinder 1 for discharge. In order to adapt to the structure of the cylinder 1, the breaking end is inclined, and its inclination angle is the same as the inclination angle of the conical surface at the bottom of the cylinder 1, so that the scraper 41 can scrape the bottom of the cylinder with a conical bottom when rotating, and stir the moxa at the bottom of the cylinder.

[0037] In order to further improve the effect of the device in breaking up the moxa, in some embodiments, the breaking up structure 4 also includes a push plate 42, which can further break up the moxa, and one end of the push plate 42 is connected to one end of the scraper 41 close to the edge of the cylinder 1, and the other end of the push plate 42 extends from the edge inside the cylinder 1 toward the middle of the cylinder 1 from bottom to top, so that the push plate 42 can push the moxa to the middle of the cylinder 1 when rotating, so as to facilitate the gathering of the moxa in the center and ensure the continuity of the feeding process.

[0038] Preferably, in this embodiment, the push plate 42 is a straight plate or an arc-shaped plate.

[0039] Working principle: during implementation, moxa is placed inside the cylinder 1, and the motor drives the spiral blade 22, the scattering blade 23, the scraper 41 and the push plate 42 to rotate through the rotating shaft 21. The scattering blade 23 stirs and scatters the moxa when rotating, and at the same time pushes the moxa to the center discharge port 11, pressing the moxa downward, and the spiral blade 22 spirally rotates downward to transport the moxa in the middle to the discharge port 11 at the bottom of the cylinder. When the scraper 41 rotates with the rotating shaft 21, the scraping part thereof is used to scrape up the moxa at the bottom of the cylinder, and the stirring part stirs and scatters the scraped moxa, and the push plate 42 rotates around the rotating shaft 21 above the scraper 41 to further scatter the moxa. At the same time, during the rotation process, the moxa is pushed to the middle of the cylinder 1, so that the moxa gathers to the center of the cylinder 1 to ensure the continuity of the discharge process.

[0040] The utility model is provided with a barrel 1, a stirring structure 2, a driving structure 3 and a breaking up structure 4. The driving structure 3 drives the rotating shaft 21 to rotate, and can drive the spiral blade 22 to spiral downward, so as to convey the moxa in the middle of the barrel 1 to the discharge port 11 provided at the bottom center of the barrel 1, so as to realize the discharge. The rotation of the rotating shaft 21 can also drive the breaking up end to rotate around the rotating shaft 21 at the bottom of the barrel 1, so as to break up the moxa at the bottom of the barrel. By stirring the moxa at the bottom of the barrel 1, the moxa can be prevented from being compacted, so as to improve the fluffiness of the moxa, so as to facilitate the subsequent quantitative feeding device to accurately quantify, thereby ensuring the quality and hardness of the manufactured moxa sticks.

[0041] The specific implementation methods of the utility model described above do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the utility model. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made according to the technical concept of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the claims of the utility model.
