Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of moxa stick packaging technology, specifically to a moxa stick packaging machine. Background Technology

[0002] Moxibustion is one of the oldest medical techniques in China, belonging to the external treatment method of traditional Chinese medicine. It is suitable for symptoms such as wind-cold-dampness syndrome, muscle soreness and numbness, and neck, shoulder, waist and leg pain. It can warm the meridians, dispel cold, promote qi and blood circulation, and expel cold and dampness. Moxa sticks are cylindrical rolls made of moxa wool wrapped in cotton paper, mainly used for moxibustion. Moxa cones are made by cutting moxa sticks to a certain length and then neatly packaging them in boxes or cartons with heat shrink film. To improve the neatness and efficiency of packaging moxa cones, an automatic packaging machine for moxa cones has been designed. When the moxa cones are fed into the packaging machine, they are basically fed horizontally. To complete the packaging, it is necessary to ensure that the moxa cones are in a vertical position after feeding before they can be arranged and boxed. If the moxa cones are kept horizontal from feeding to boxing, although packaging can be completed, in order to maintain neatness and avoid errors in boxing or cartoning, or to reduce the error rate, a special device is needed to neatly arrange the moxa cones. Therefore, the structure of the packaging machine using the horizontal boxing method is relatively complex.

[0003] Existing packaging machines that use vertical packing have a relatively high error rate from the initial feeding of moxa sticks to the process of straightening them into a vertical position. For example, Chinese invention patent CN117048923A, entitled "A Packaging Machine for Moxa Sticks," describes a process where moxa sticks cut from moxa sticks are fed into a moxa stick positioning mechanism 1. The moxa sticks pass through the conveyor channel of the mechanism 1, changing from a horizontal to a vertical position and falling onto the conveyor belt 25. During this process, the moxa sticks need to roll along the surface formed by the support belt 101 and the rectangular frame 102 to change from a horizontal to a vertical position. Because the rolling speed and the degree of contact between the moxa sticks and the support belt can vary considerably during this rolling process, the error rate in straightening them into a vertical position is relatively high, thus affecting packaging efficiency.

[0013] Furthermore, the bag-filling structure includes a lower plate with its upper surface flush with the upper surface of the table and a bag-opening unit. The bag-opening unit includes a bag-opening cylinder located above the moxibustion column and an upper plate connected to the output end of the bag-opening cylinder. The upper plate and the lower plate are vertically aligned, and a packaging bag is fitted on the outer side of the lower plate and the upper plate.

[0014] Furthermore, a first support and a second support are arranged at a distance from each other on the table. The first and second supports are both semi-I-shaped and are arranged front to back. A first crossbeam and a second crossbeam arranged in the left-right direction are mounted on the first and second supports. The first and second crossbeams are arranged at a distance from each other in the front-back direction. The material-feeding cylinder is fixedly installed on the first crossbeam. A positioning unit that can abut against the material-feeding plate is provided on the second crossbeam. The positioning unit is located above the moxibustion column.

[0015] Furthermore, the first and second crossbeams are fixedly equipped with brake adjustment units, which include brake cylinders and brake plates that are fixedly connected to the output end of the brake cylinders and can be used to fix the piston downwards to stop its forward movement.

[0016] Furthermore, the power component includes a motor, the output end of which is fixedly connected to a drive wheel. The drive wheel is connected to a driven module for transmission, and the driven module drives the feeding module, the sorting tray, and the first or second conveying wheel.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting a sorting tray with grooves for placing moxa sticks and a small flywheel for sorting, it is ensured that each moxa stick is in a groove and is restricted to a preset fixed state, thereby improving the success rate of changing the moxa stick from a horizontal state to a vertical state, and thus improving the efficiency of boxing and packaging. The moxa stick falls onto the sorting tray, which has a number of grooves around its outer circumference. Each groove can only ensure that one moxa stick is placed upright or flat. Since there is a small flywheel next to the groove, when two or more moxa sticks are piled up on a groove, the small flywheel will push away the excess moxa sticks until they fall into a single groove. The moxa sticks in the grooves enter the conveyor channel as the sorting tray rotates. After entering the conveyor channel in sequence, the moxa sticks are pushed into the conveyor belt and sent to the discharge structure. During this process, any moxa sticks that fall down are rejected by the sorting structure. Finally, the moxa sticks that have been discharged are sent into the packaging bag by the bagging structure, and the packaging is completed. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] The directional terms mentioned in this utility model, such as "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", "side", "top" and "bottom", are only for reference to the orientation of the accompanying drawings. The directional terms used are for the purpose of explaining and understanding this utility model, and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0030] Example:

[0031] like Figures 1-9 As shown, an moxa stick packaging machine includes a frame 1, a feeding structure 2 disposed on the frame 1, a sorting structure 3 fixed to the frame 1 and located below the discharge port of the feeding structure 2, a conveying structure 4 disposed along the length of the frame 1 and corresponding to the discharge end of the sorting structure 3, a discharge structure 6 disposed along the length of the frame 1 and corresponding to the output end of the conveying structure 4, and a bagging structure 7 that facilitates the discharge structure 6 to put the moxa sticks into bags.

[0032] The material handling structure 3 includes a material handling tray 303 disposed below the discharge position corresponding to the feeding structure 2. A base plate 302 is disposed below the material handling tray 303 and is fixedly connected to the frame 1. The material handling tray 303 is inclined. A compartment 301 is vertically disposed around the outer periphery of the material handling tray 303 on the upper surface of the base plate 302. The compartment 301 has a notch near the conveying structure 4 to facilitate sending the cistern to the conveying structure 4. A corresponding power component is disposed below the base plate 302 to rotate the material handling tray 303. The material handling tray 303 can rotate relative to the base plate 302 and is as close to the base plate 302 as possible.

[0033] The material tray 303 has a groove on its outer periphery for accommodating a single moxa stick, either upright or lying down. A small flywheel 304 is located on the outer side of the groove near the notch. The flywheel 304 is close to the notch but should be at a certain distance from it to ensure that it can push away excess moxa sticks while preventing them from being obstructed from exiting the notch. When the blades of the flywheel 304 rotate, they push excess moxa sticks into the material tray 303 over the groove. Any moxa sticks in a groove that are more than one are considered excess. The chamber 301 at the location of the flywheel 304 is low, and the flywheel 304 crosses over this chamber 301. The design of the flywheel 304's position, blade size, and groove height should ensure that when there are two or more moxa sticks in the groove, any excess moxa sticks, whether upright or lying down, will be located on the rotation trajectory of the flywheel 304's blades. The inclined material tray 303 allows the moxa sticks to gather towards the groove, making it easier for them to fall into the groove.

[0034] A fixing plate 305 is provided on the base plate 302 at the notch. A guide rod 306 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 305, with one end extending into the groove and the other end extending into the conveying structure 4. The guide rod 306 extends tangentially into the groove, and the end of the guide rod 306 extending into the groove extends at least to the side of the groove near the center of the material feeding tray 303. That is, this end is located between a groove and the center of the material feeding tray 303. When the moxibustion column rotates in the groove with the material feeding tray, it rotates to this end of the guide rod 306 and is blocked by the guide rod 306, so that it can only move in the direction of the extension of the guide rod 306. As the number of moxibustion columns blocked by the guide rod 306 increases, the preceding moxibustion column is pushed towards the conveying structure by the following moxibustion column. The length direction of the frame 1 is defined as follows: Figure 1 The left and right directions are perpendicular to the left and right directions, and the front and back directions are perpendicular to the left and right directions.

[0035] The compartment 301 near the opening has a protrusion inside the material tray 303 that guides the flat moxa stick to gradually stand up. The upper surface of the protrusion is a slope, and the height of the slope gradually increases from low to high along the rotation direction of the material tray 303. As the material tray 303 rotates, the outer end of the flat moxa stick moves from low to high along the slope until it is vertical.

[0036] The feeding structure 2 includes a hopper 201 fixed on the frame 1 and a feeding module 202 set on one side of the inner wall of the hopper 201. The hopper 201 is located on the left side of the sorting structure 3. The top of the hopper 201 is open. The feeding module 202 includes a feeding conveyor belt and a pusher bar 203 fixed on the surface of the feeding conveyor belt. The pusher bar 203 is set horizontally in the front-back direction. The feeding module 202 is driven by a corresponding power component. The pusher bar 203 facilitates the layering of moxa sticks into the sorting tray, so that they fall into the groove and do not suddenly accumulate a large number of moxa sticks in one place on the sorting tray 303.

[0037] The conveying structure 4 includes a conveyor belt 401 arranged along the length of the frame 1; conveyor guide rails 402 and connecting pieces 405 for fixing the conveyor guide rails 402 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the conveyor belt 401; the connecting pieces 405 are arranged along the conveyor belt 401 and fixed on the frame 1; the conveyor rod moves between the two conveyor guide rails 402; one end of the conveyor belt 401 is connected to the guide rod 306, and the other end is connected to the discharge structure 6; the left and right ends of the conveyor belt 401 are respectively connected to the first conveyor wheel 403 and the second conveyor wheel 404, and the first conveyor wheel 403 or the second conveyor wheel 404 is driven by the corresponding power components fixed on the frame 1.

[0038] The conveying structure 4 is equipped with a sorting structure 5 at the corresponding hopper 201 for pushing the flat moxa sticks out of the conveying structure 4. The sorting structure 5 is as close as possible to the discharge structure 6, but it is not necessarily at the end of the conveying structure 4; it can be located somewhere on the therapy tray 303. The frame 1 includes a table 101 and a support bracket for supporting the table 101. The upper surface of the conveyor belt 401 is located on the table 101. The sorting structure 5 includes a sorting outlet 501 opened on the table 101, which is located above the hopper 201. The conveying guide rail 402 includes two sub-guide rails spaced vertically apart. The upper sub-guide rail is located on the lower part of the guide rail. The distance from the bottom to the conveyor belt 401 is greater than the diameter of the moxibustion column; the sorting outlet 501 is set close to the side of the conveyor belt 401, and the two conveyor rails 402 on both sides of the sorting outlet 501 are bent forward to form a protrusion; part of the channel between the front and rear conveyor rails 402 included in the protrusion corresponds to the sorting outlet 501 in the vertical direction, and the other part corresponds to the conveyor belt 401; the guide rails on the side of the protrusion near the sorting outlet 501 and located below it are intermittently set, the intermittent position corresponds to the sorting outlet 501, and the intermittent distance is greater than the length of the moxibustion column, ensuring that the moxibustion column falls into the hopper from here.

[0039] There are two sets of discharge structures 6, arranged in a front-to-back correspondence. One set of discharge structures 6 includes a feeding unit, a top feeding unit 6010 arranged in a front-to-back correspondence with the feeding unit, and a blocking unit 603 arranged along the length of the frame 1 and corresponding to the conveyor guide rail 402. The feeding unit includes a feeding plate 606 arranged in a front-to-back direction opposite to the blocking unit 603. The moxa stick is fed by the conveyor belt 401 between the blocking unit 603 and the feeding plate 606. The feeding plate 606 is fixedly connected to the output end of the feeding cylinder 605. The blocking unit 603 includes a blocking plate and a blocking cylinder located on the table 101 and fixed to the blocking plate. There are also two sets of blocking plates, located on the front and back sides of the moxa stick respectively, blocking the material. The plate is located between the pusher plate 606 and the moxa sticks; the baffle plate moves in the left and right direction; the top material unit 6010 includes a top material plate and a top material cylinder, which is used to block the moxa sticks pushed by the feeding unit to prevent them from being disordered. As the feeding plate 606 pushes a row of moxa sticks, the top material plate moves back a distance of one row of moxa sticks; a pusher unit 6012 is provided between the feeding unit and the top material unit 6010. The pusher unit 6012 includes a pusher plate and a pusher cylinder fixedly connected to it; another set of discharge structures 6 has the same structure as the above-mentioned discharge structure 6, except that the two sets of discharge structures use the same feeding unit. When in use, the forward or backward feeding is used to feed the two sets of discharge structures 6 to form a predetermined number of moxa stick rows.

[0040] The bag-filling structure 7 includes a lower plate 702 whose upper surface is flush with the upper surface of the table 101 and a bag-opening unit 6011. The bag-opening unit 6011 includes a bag-opening cylinder located above the moxibustion column and an upper plate 701 connected to the output end of the bag-opening cylinder. The upper plate 701 and the lower plate 702 are vertically aligned. A packaging bag is fitted on the outer side of the lower plate 702 and the upper plate 701, and the opening of the packaging bag faces the material-pushing unit 6012.

[0041] A first support 601 and a second support 602 are arranged at a left-right interval on the table 101. Both the first support 601 and the second support 602 are semi-I-shaped and are arranged front to back. The height of the first support 601 and the second support 602 is higher than the length of the moxibustion column. A first horizontal frame 604 and a second horizontal frame 607 arranged in the left-right direction are mounted on the first support 601 and the second support 602. The first horizontal frame 604 and the second horizontal frame 607 are arranged at a distance in the front-back direction. A material-feeding cylinder 605 is fixedly installed on the first horizontal frame 604. A positioning unit 608 that can abut against the material-feeding plate 606 is provided on the second horizontal frame 607. The positioning unit 608 is located above the moxibustion column. The positioning unit 608 includes a positioning rod that passes through the second horizontal frame 607 in the front-back direction and a spring sleeved on the outside of the positioning rod. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the end of the positioning rod near the material-feeding plate 606, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second horizontal frame 607. When the spring is in the relaxed state, the end of the positioning rod corresponds to the upper and lower of the baffle plate.

[0042] The first crossbeam 604 and the second crossbeam 607 are fixedly installed above the joint end of the conveyor belt 401 and the discharge structure 6. The brake adjustment unit 609 includes a brake cylinder and a brake plate that is fixedly connected to the output end of the brake cylinder and can be fixed downward to stop the forward movement of the brake column.

[0043] The power unit is fixed on the frame 1. The power unit includes a motor 8, the output end of which is fixedly connected to a drive wheel 9. The drive wheel 9 is connected to a driven module 11. The driven module 11 drives the feeding module 202, the sorting tray 303, and the first conveyor wheel 403 or the second conveyor wheel 404. The driven module 11 of the feeding module 202 includes a synchronous belt connected to the drive wheel 9 and a roller connected to the synchronous belt 10. The upper end of the feeding conveyor belt of the feeding module 202 also has a roller. The two rollers are connected by the feeding conveyor belt. The driven module 11 of the sorting tray 303 includes a synchronous belt connected to the drive wheel 9 and a driven wheel connected to the synchronous belt 10. The driven wheel is connected to a drive shaft, which is connected to the sorting tray 303. The driven module 11 corresponding to the conveying structure 4 includes two tensioning wheels connected to the conveyor belt 401. The lower part of the conveyor belt 401 passes around the drive wheel 9 and the two tensioning wheels, and the upper part passes around the first conveyor wheel 403 or the second conveyor wheel 404, thereby transmitting power.

[0044] By setting up a material tray with grooves for placing moxa sticks and a small flywheel for material handling, it is ensured that each moxa stick is in the groove and is restricted to a preset fixed state, thereby increasing the success rate of changing the moxa stick from a horizontal state to a vertical state, and thus improving the efficiency of boxing and packaging.

[0045] Working process: Moxa sticks are placed into the hopper 201. The feeding module 202 rotates evenly under the drive of the corresponding power component, and the moxa sticks enter the chamber 301 of the material handling structure 3 through the pusher bar. The material handling structure 3 is equipped with a material handling plate 303, which is driven by the corresponding power component. The material handling plate has a number of grooves around its outer circumference. Scattered moxa sticks are fed into the grooves of the material handling plate 303. Each groove can only ensure that one moxa stick is placed upright or flat. A small flywheel 304 is provided near the notch of the material handling plate 303. Since there is a small flywheel next to the groove, when two or more moxa sticks are piled up in a groove, the small flywheel will push away the excess moxa sticks until they fall into a groove alone, and remove the excess moxa sticks outside the groove. Due to the presence of the protrusions and slopes, the moxa sticks in the grooves are all moved into an upright arrangement by the guide rod. The artemisia columns arranged at the outlet of the material handling structure 3 enter the conveyor belt 401. When the artemisia columns pass through the sorting outlet 501, due to the presence of the protrusion, although the vertical artemisia columns will tilt as they move forward with the conveyor belt 401, the front and rear sides of the artemisia columns can still be blocked by the conveyor guide rails 402, allowing the vertical artemisia columns to pass through the protrusion. However, the fallen artemisia columns are first pushed towards the sorting outlet 501, and then the artemisia columns will be partially suspended in the air. Due to the discontinuity of the lower guide rails, the artemisia columns fall from the suspended part of the sorting outlet 501 into the hopper 201. The vertically arranged artemisia columns continue to move forward to the discharge structure 6.

[0046] The discharge structure 6 has baffles. When the moxa pillars enter the discharge structure 6, the baffles act as guides. When the moxa pillars reach the feeding position, the two baffles retract to the right. For example, if they are pushed forward, the feeding plate 606 will push forward, and the top plate located at the front will retract one step. If the moxa pillars are pushed backward, the feeding plate 606 should initially be located in front of the moxa pillars. After pushing one row backward, it will return to the front of the moxa pillars to wait for the next row of moxa pillars to be in place. The brake plate presses down to stop the moxa pillars on the conveyor belt 401 from continuing to move. 606 begins to move forward while the top plate retracts. This forward and backward movement pushes a row of moxa sticks to a position where they can be pushed by the top plate. The push plate 606 is equipped with a positioning unit to control its forward movement. This action is repeated six times. The push plate then pushes the six rows of moxa sticks toward the bag-entry structure 7. The bag-opening device 7 is equipped with an upper plate 701 and a lower plate 702. Before the push plate moves, the packaging bag is placed on the upper plate 701 and the lower plate 702. The start button is pressed, the upper plate 701 is lifted, and the bag opening is opened to wait for the push plate to enter.
