Abstract
Description
Technical fields:
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of moxibustion stick mold technology, specifically a moxibustion stick making mold. Background technology:
[0002] Moxa sticks are made by extruding moxa wool. They are relatively short moxa sticks and are a type of moxa stick developed for use in portable moxibustion devices, joint moxibustion devices, single and double moxibustion devices, and fire dragon cupping devices.
[0003] Currently, when clinical medical staff perform moxibustion on patients at the Shenque acupoint, they typically press moxa wool into molds by hand before use to form moxa cones. However, this method of manually pressing the moxa wool is time-consuming and laborious. Furthermore, because moxa cones are relatively soft, the commonly used method of tapping them to release them from the mold can easily cause the cones to break if not handled carefully. Therefore, to solve these problems, we need to design a mold for making moxa cones. Utility model content:
[0004] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of the embodiments of this utility model and to briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be used to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, according to one aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A mold for making moxa sticks, comprising:
[0007] A mold mechanism includes a lower mold, an upper mold assembly on the lower mold, a rotating assembly on the upper mold assembly, a mold assembly in the lower mold, and a fixing assembly on the mold assembly.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the moxa stick making mold described in this utility model, a support frame is fixedly connected to the lower mold, a lifting groove is provided on the support frame, and a placement groove is provided on the lower mold.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the moxa stick making mold described in this utility model, the upper mold assembly includes an electric push rod, a lifting block, an upper mold, and a pressing rod. The lifting block is provided with a rotating groove, the electric push rod is fixedly connected to the lifting groove, the lifting block is fixedly connected to the top of the electric push rod, and the pressing rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper mold.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the moxa cone making mold described in this utility model, the rotating assembly includes a motor, a motor base, a first bevel gear, a second bevel gear, and a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is fixedly connected to both sides of the upper mold, the second bevel gear is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, the motor is fixedly connected to the motor base, the first bevel gear is fixedly connected to the power output end of the motor, the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the lifting block, the first bevel gear meshes with the second bevel gear, and the motor base is located in the rotating groove.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the moxa stick making mold described in this utility model, the mold assembly includes a first mold, a second mold, a limiting block, a first spring, a limiting plate, and a base plate. The base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first mold. One side of the limiting plate is fixedly connected to the limiting block, and the other side of the limiting plate is fixedly connected to one end of the first spring. A limiting groove is provided on the first mold, and the other end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the moxa stick making mold described in this utility model, the first mold is provided with a fixing groove.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When using this device, after a certain amount of moxa wool is placed into the mold assembly, the electric push rod operates, causing the upper mold to drive the pressing rod to descend, thereby pressing the moxa wool in the mold assembly to form moxa pillars, which is convenient for medical staff to use and avoids the time and effort of manually making moxa pillars. Furthermore, the first spring and the limiting block in the mold assembly allow the pressing rod to move within the mold assembly. After the moxa pillar is made, the electric push rod operates, causing the upper mold and the pressing rod to move upward, driving the mold assembly upward. The motor operates, causing the rotating shaft to rotate the upper mold, making the mold assembly horizontal, which is convenient for the operator to disassemble the mold assembly and remove the moxa pillar. By pressing the pressing block, the positioning plate moves in the fixing groove, which can release the fixation between the first mold and the second mold, thereby separating the second mold from the first mold, making it easy to remove the formed moxa pillar, avoiding the moxa pillar from breaking due to knocking during demolding, which is not conducive to use.

[0020] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] Secondly, this utility model is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams.

Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model. In addition, actual manufacturing should include the three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.
[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a mold for making moxa sticks, comprising:
[0024] The mold mechanism 100 includes a lower mold 101, an upper mold assembly 110 is provided on the lower mold 101, a rotating assembly 120 is provided on the upper mold assembly 110, a mold assembly 130 is provided in the lower mold 101, and a fixing assembly 140 is provided on the mold assembly 130.
[0025] Specifically, the upper mold assembly 110 can press the mold assembly 130 in the lower mold 101, pressing the moxa wool in the mold assembly 130 into moxa sticks, which is convenient for use in medical work and avoids the time-consuming and laborious process of medical staff making moxa sticks by hand. After the moxa wool is pressed into moxa sticks, the upper mold assembly 110 can be moved to detach the mold assembly 130 from the lower mold 101, and the rotating assembly 120 can rotate the mold assembly 130 to a horizontal position, which makes it easy for staff to disassemble the mold assembly 130 and remove the moxa sticks. Furthermore, the fixing assembly 140 can be used to disassemble the mold assembly 130, which makes it easy for medical staff to remove the moxa sticks and avoids the problem of the moxa sticks breaking when demolded by knocking.
[0026] Please see Figures 1-3 A support frame 101a is fixedly connected to the lower mold 101. The support frame 101a is provided with a lifting groove 101b, and the lower mold 101 is provided with a placement groove 101c. The upper mold assembly 110 includes an electric push rod 110a, a lifting block 110b, an upper mold 110c, and a pressing rod 110d. The lifting block 110b is provided with a rotating groove 110e. The electric push rod 110a is fixedly connected to the lifting groove 101b. The lifting block 110b is fixedly connected to the top of the electric push rod 110a, and the pressing rod 110d is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper mold 110c. The rotating assembly 120 includes a motor 120a, a motor base 120b, a first bevel gear 120c, a second bevel gear 120d, and a rotating shaft 120e. The rotating shaft 120e is fixedly connected to both sides of the upper mold 110c. The second bevel gear 120d is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 120e. The motor 120a is fixedly connected to the motor base 120b. The first bevel gear 120c is fixedly connected to the power output end of the motor 120a. The rotating shaft 120e is rotatably connected to the lifting block 110b. The first bevel gear 120c meshes with the second bevel gear 120d. The motor base 120b is located in the rotating groove 110e.
[0027] Specifically, when it is necessary to make moxa wool into moxa sticks, the electric push rod 110a operates, causing the lifting block 101b to descend. This allows the upper mold 110c to move the pressing rod 110d downward, thus pressing the moxa wool in the mold assembly 130 into moxa sticks. After pressing, the electric push rod 110a moves the pressing rod 110d upward. Because the limiting block in the mold assembly 130 limits the pressing rod 110d, the pressing rod 110d moves the mold assembly 130 upward. When it moves to a certain position, the rotating shaft 120e is located in the rotating groove 110e. The motor 120a operates, causing the rotating shaft 120e to rotate, which in turn rotates the upper mold 110c. This allows the mold assembly 130 to rotate, making it easier for workers to disassemble the mold assembly 130 and remove the formed moxa stick from the mold assembly 130. This avoids the moxa stick from breaking due to knocking during demolding, which would have an adverse effect on its use.
[0028] Please see Figures 1-4 The mold assembly 130 includes a first mold 130a, a second mold 130b, a limiting block 130c, a first spring 130d, a limiting plate 130e, and a base plate 130f. The base plate 130f is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first mold 130a. One side of the limiting plate 130e is fixedly connected to the limiting block 130c, and the other side of the limiting plate 130e is fixedly connected to one end of the first spring 130d. A limiting groove 130g is provided on the first mold 130a, and the other end of the first spring 130d is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 130g. The fixing component 140 includes a pressing block 140a, a sliding rod 140b, a positioning plate 140c, and a second spring 140d. The second mold 130b has a pressing groove 140e. The sliding rod 140b is fixedly connected to the pressing groove 140e. One side of the positioning plate 140c is fixedly connected to the pressing block 140a, and the other side of the positioning plate 140c is fixedly connected to one end of the second spring 140d. The other end of the second spring 140d is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the pressing groove 140e. The first mold 130a has a fixing groove 140f.
[0029] Specifically, a pair of first springs 130d and limiting blocks 130c are set on the first mold 130a and the second mold 130b. When the pressing rod 110d moves down, the limiting block 130c moves, and the first springs 130d are compressed into the limiting groove 130g, thereby limiting the pressing rod 110d and preventing it from detaching from the mold assembly 130 when it rises. After the moxa stick is formed, the mold assembly 130 is in a horizontal state due to the rotating assembly 120. By pressing the pressing block 140a, the pressing block 140a drives the positioning plate 140c to move, causing the positioning plate 140c to separate from the fixing groove 140f. The positioning plate 140c can be removed from the fixing groove 140f, thereby separating the first mold 130a from the second mold 130b. This makes it easier for workers to remove the moxa stick from the mold assembly 130, avoiding the need to use the method of knocking the mold to remove the moxa stick, which may cause the moxa stick to break.
