Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mugwort processing, specifically a uniform dispersion mechanism for stirring mugwort powder. Background Technology

[0002] Moxa wool, made by drying and crushing mugwort leaves, is an important material used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Specifically, it is typically made from the dried leaves of Artemisia argyi, Artemisia spp., or several other plants in the same genus within the Asteraceae family. Carefully selected mugwort leaves are repeatedly pounded after drying to create the soft, downy moxa wool. Moxa wool is grayish-white in color, fine in texture, easy to burn, and produces a gentle, long-lasting heat, making it an ideal choice for moxibustion therapy. Through moxibustion, moxa wool can transmit warmth to deep tissues, promoting blood circulation and expelling cold from the body, thus achieving various therapeutic effects such as warming the meridians and dispelling cold, regulating qi and blood, and reducing swelling and pain. Therefore, moxa wool has wide applications in TCM. During production, moxa wool is mixed with medicinal powder using a stirring device to ensure even distribution.

[0003] For example, authorization announcement number CN216260460U discloses a mixing device for moxa floss and moxa powder, relating to the field of mixing device technology. It solves the technical problem that existing mixing methods require pre-preparation of raw materials to complete the processing of moxa floss and moxa powder, resulting in complex processing. The device includes a mixing chamber, a crushing chamber, and a feeding hopper. The mixing chamber is equipped with a mixing mechanism, a feeding hopper and a crushing chamber are located at the top, and a support foot is located at the bottom. A mixture outlet is opened on one side at the bottom. The bottom of the feeding hopper is equipped with a first feeding port and a second feeding port. The second feeding port communicates with the mixing chamber, and the first feeding port communicates with the crushing chamber. The bottom of the crushing chamber communicates with the mixing chamber. A screen is installed at the connection between the crushing chamber and the mixing chamber, positioned between the second feeding port and the mixture outlet. A crushing mechanism is installed inside the crushing chamber. This invention can directly crush moxa floss into moxa powder and then mix it evenly with the moxa floss, reducing the labor intensity of workers and allowing for continuous production, making it highly applicable.

[0004] Most existing mixing devices only use a stirring rod to stir the raw materials. When mixing moxa wool and medicinal powder, they cannot fully disperse and mix the moxa wool and medicinal powder, resulting in uneven mixing. Therefore, there is an urgent need in the market to develop a uniform dispersion mechanism for mixing moxa wool and medicinal powder to help people solve the existing problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a uniform dispersion mechanism for stirring moxa powder, so as to solve the problem that most of the existing stirring devices mentioned in the background art only stir the raw materials by stirring rod, and cannot fully disperse and mix moxa and powder when mixing moxa and powder, resulting in uneven stirring.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a uniform dispersion mechanism for stirring moxa powder, comprising a stirring chamber, a rotating tube rotatably connected to the center of the stirring chamber, two stirring rods fixedly connected to both sides of the center of the rotating tube, a first spiral blade fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating tube, a rotating shaft rotatably connected inside the rotating tube, a second spiral blade fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating shaft extending out of the lower end of the rotating tube, and a transmission box fixedly connected to the upper surface of the stirring chamber.

[0007] Preferably, the upper end of the rotating tube extends through the upper surface of the mixing chamber into the transmission box and is fixedly connected to a first bevel gear, and the upper end of the rotating shaft extends out of the upper end of the rotating tube and is fixedly connected to a second bevel gear inside the transmission box.

[0008] Preferably, a drive motor is fixedly installed inside the transmission box, and a third bevel gear is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor.

[0009] Preferably, the upper and lower ends of the third bevel gear are respectively engaged with the teeth of the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear.

[0010] Preferably, a feeding port is fixedly provided on one side of the middle of the upper end face of the mixing chamber, and a discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the middle of the lower end of the mixing chamber, with an external threaded part fixedly connected to the lower end of the outer end face of the discharge pipe.

[0011] Preferably, a cap is connected to the lower end of the discharge pipe, and a sealing column is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper end of the cap, with the sealing column inserted into the discharge pipe.

[0012] Preferably, an internally threaded tube is fixedly connected to the upper edge of the discharge pipe, and the discharge pipe and the cover are connected by the internally threaded tube through the outer side of the discharge pipe and threadedly connected to the external threaded part.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] (1) In this utility model, the third bevel gear is driven by the drive motor, which in turn drives the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear to rotate in a coaxial reverse direction. This achieves the coaxial reverse rotation of the rotating tube and the rotating shaft. When the rotating tube rotates, it drives multiple stirring rods and the first spiral blade to rotate, which fully mixes the moxa wool and medicinal powder inside the mixing chamber. At the same time, when the rotating shaft rotates, it drives the second spiral blade to rotate, which realizes the vertical transport of the raw materials inside the mixing chamber, improves the stirring efficiency, and ensures the uniform mixing of moxa wool and medicinal powder.

[0015] (2) In this utility model, by setting the first spiral blade and the second spiral blade together, the raw materials in the middle and the lower part of the mixing chamber are squeezed and dispersed to each other, which further improves the mixing uniformity of mugwort and medicinal powder and avoids the problems of mixing dead corners and uneven mixing that may occur in traditional mixing methods.

[0016] (3) In this utility model, the pre-sealing of the discharge pipe is effectively achieved by setting the sealing column, which prevents the raw materials from entering the discharge pipe in advance during the mixing process, thus avoiding the waste of raw materials and uneven mixing. After the moxa wool and medicinal powder are evenly mixed, the sealing column can be moved out of the discharge pipe by simply rotating the inner threaded tube on the cap, so as to smoothly discharge the mixed moxa wool and medicinal powder. The operation is simple and quick, and the work efficiency is improved. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides an embodiment of a uniform dispersion mechanism for mixing moxa powder, comprising a mixing chamber 1, a rotating tube 2 rotatably connected to the center of the mixing chamber 1, two stirring rods 201 fixedly connected to both sides of the center of the rotating tube 2, a first spiral blade 202 fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating tube 2, a rotating shaft 3 rotatably connected inside the rotating tube 2, the lower end of the rotating shaft 3 extending out of the lower end of the rotating tube 2 and fixedly connected to a second spiral blade 301, a transmission box 4 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mixing chamber 1, the upper end of the rotating tube 2 extending through the upper surface of the mixing chamber 1 into the transmission box 4 and fixedly connected to a first bevel gear 203, the upper end of the rotating shaft 3 extending out of the upper end of the rotating tube 2 and fixedly connected to a second bevel gear 302 inside the transmission box 4, a drive motor 401 fixedly installed inside the transmission box 4, a third bevel gear 402 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 401, the upper and lower ends of the third bevel gear 402 respectively connected to the first bevel gear 203. The first bevel gear 203 and the second bevel gear 302 are meshed together. The third bevel gear 402 is driven by the drive motor 401, which in turn drives the first bevel gear 203 and the second bevel gear 302 to rotate in a coaxial reverse direction. This causes the rotating tube 2 and the rotating shaft 3 to rotate in a coaxial reverse direction. When the rotating tube 2 rotates, it simultaneously drives multiple stirring rods 201 and the first spiral blade 202 to rotate. The stirring rods 201 stir and mix the moxa wool and medicinal powder inside the mixing chamber 1. When the first spiral blade 202 rotates, it squeezes and conveys the raw material in the middle of the mixing chamber 1 downwards. When the rotating shaft 3 rotates, it drives the second spiral blade 301 to rotate, which in turn carries the raw material at the lower end of the mixing chamber 1 upwards. Through the combined action of the first spiral blade 202 and the second spiral blade 301, the raw material in the middle and the raw material at the lower end of the mixing chamber 1 are squeezed and dispersed, improving the uniformity of the mixing of moxa wool and medicinal powder.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-3 A feeding port 101 is fixedly installed on one side of the middle of the upper end face of the mixing chamber 1. Moxa wool and medicinal powder are added into the mixing chamber 1 through the feeding port 101. A discharge pipe 102 is fixedly connected to the middle of the lower end of the mixing chamber 1. An external threaded part 103 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the outer end face of the discharge pipe 102. A cap 5 is connected to the lower end of the discharge pipe 102. A sealing column 501 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper end of the cap 5. The sealing column 501 is inserted into the discharge pipe 102. An internally threaded pipe 50 is fixedly connected to the edge of the upper end face of the discharge pipe 102. 2. The discharge pipe 102 and the cap 5 are connected and fixed by an internally threaded pipe 502 that is inserted into the outside of the discharge pipe 102 and threaded to the externally threaded part 103. The discharge pipe 102 is pre-sealed by the sealing column 501 to prevent the raw materials from entering the discharge pipe 102 in advance. After the moxa wool and medicinal powder are mixed evenly, the discharge pipe 102 is separated from the cap 5 by rotating the internally threaded pipe 502. The sealing column 501 can then be moved out of the discharge pipe 102, and the mixed moxa wool and medicinal powder can be discharged through the discharge pipe 102.

[0025] Working Principle: In operation, firstly, an appropriate amount of moxa wool and medicinal powder are added into the mixing chamber 1 through the feeding port 101. Then, the drive motor 401 inside the transmission box 4 is started, and the output shaft of the drive motor 401 drives the third bevel gear 402 to rotate. Since the third bevel gear 402 meshes with the first bevel gear 203 and the second bevel gear 302 respectively, the rotation of the third bevel gear 402 synchronously drives the first bevel gear 203 and the second bevel gear 302 to rotate in a coaxial reverse direction. The rotation of the first bevel gear 203 drives the rotating tube 2 to rotate, thereby causing the stirring rod 201 and the first spiral blade 202 on the rotating tube 2 to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the stirring rod 201 stirs and mixes the moxa wool and medicinal powder inside the mixing chamber 1, while the rotation of the first spiral blade 202 squeezes and conveys the raw materials in the middle of the mixing chamber 1 downwards. Simultaneously, the rotation of the second bevel gear 302 drives the rotating shaft 3 to rotate, thereby causing the second spiral blade 301 on the rotating shaft 3 to rotate. The rotation of the second spiral blade 301 conveys the raw material at the lower end of the mixing chamber 1 upwards. Through the combined action of the first spiral blade 202 and the second spiral blade 301, the raw material in the middle and lower parts of the mixing chamber 1 is mutually compressed and dispersed, thereby improving the mixing uniformity of the moxa wool and medicinal powder. After the moxa wool and medicinal powder are evenly mixed, the discharge pipe 102 is separated from the cover 5 by rotating the internal threaded tube 502 on the cover 5, and the sealing column 501 can be moved out of the discharge pipe 102. The mixed moxa wool and medicinal powder can then be smoothly discharged through the discharge pipe 102.
