Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of moxa stick processing technology, specifically to a stem and leaf separation device for moxa stick processing. Background Technology
[0002] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN210633717U, which discloses a device for separating the stems and leaves of Artemisia argyi. The device includes a housing with a top cover and at least one first through-hole for passing through the Artemisia argyi. A cutting device capable of reciprocating up and down is fixed inside the housing. A tube is fixed on the bottom wall of the housing to facilitate the passage of the stems after the leaves have been removed. The tube corresponds vertically to the first through-hole, and its lower end opens to the outside of the housing. This invention utilizes a reciprocating ring blade to separate the stems and leaves of Artemisia argyi, avoiding manual operation, reducing labor intensity, and facilitating the collection of separated leaves, thus improving production efficiency. The existing technology described above has the following drawbacks: the use of multiple small electric push rods to clamp and fix the Artemisia argyi increases production costs to some extent. Therefore, this invention proposes a stem and leaf separation device for processing Artemisia argyi to address these problems. Utility Model Content

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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: a stem and leaf separation device for processing moxa sticks, including a box body 1, a support plate 2 fixedly installed at the bottom of the box body 1, a box door 3 hinged to the front side of the inner wall of the box body 1, a feeding component 4 provided on the inner top wall of the box body 1, a separation component 5 extending to the top of the box body 1, and a fixing mechanism 6 extending to the front of the box body 1.
[0024] The feeding assembly 4 includes a rectangular hole 41. The inner top wall of the housing 1 has a rectangular hole 41, and a top plate 42 is fixedly installed inside the rectangular hole 41.

[0026] The separation component 5 includes a servo motor 51. The servo motor 51 is fixedly installed on the top of the housing 1. The servo motor 51 is electrically connected to an external power source and controlled by an external program. The output shaft of the servo motor 51 can rotate in both directions. A threaded rod 52 extending to the inside of the housing 1 and rotatably connected to its inner bottom wall is fixedly installed at the output shaft of the servo motor 51. The bottom of the threaded rod 52 is rotatably connected to the inner bottom wall of the housing 1 through a bearing. A threaded block 53 is threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded rod 52. A lifting plate 54 slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing 1 is fixedly installed on the outside of the threaded block 53. A support column 55 penetrating the lifting plate 54 is fixedly installed between the upper and lower sides of the inner wall of the housing 1. A barrier 56 is fixedly installed on the top of the lifting plate 54. A cylinder 57 extending to its upper and lower sides is fixedly installed inside the lifting plate 54. A blade 58 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the cylinder 57.
[0027] Servo motor 51 starts, driving threaded rod 52 to rotate. Threaded block 53 moves up and down with the rotation of threaded rod 52, causing lifting plate 54 to slide on support column 55. Cylinder 57 and blade 58 on lifting plate 54 move with lifting plate 54 to cut and separate the moxa stick raw material entering box 1, realizing the separation of stem and leaf. Enclosure 56 prevents raw material from splashing out during the separation process.
[0028] The lifting plate 54 has a round hole inside that matches the support column 55, and a rectangular mounting hole inside that matches the threaded block 53. There are four cylinders 57 and four blades 58, which are evenly distributed from left to right.
[0029] The fixing mechanism 6 includes a mounting frame 601. The mounting frame 601, extending into the inner side of the housing 1, is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the housing 1. A fixing block 602 is fixedly mounted on the rear side of the inner wall of the mounting frame 601. A movable clamping block 603, extending to its front side, is slidably mounted on the outer side of the fixing block 602. A connecting rod 604, penetrating and extending to the front side of the housing 1, is fixedly mounted on the front side of the connecting rod 604. A vertical plate 605 is fixedly mounted on the front side of the housing 1. A support rail 606 is fixedly mounted on the front side of the housing 1. A sliding rail is slidably mounted on the outer side of the support rail 606. Block 607, a wedge block 608 is fixedly installed on the front side of the slider 607, the wedge block 608 is attached to the rear side of the vertical plate 605, a connecting rope 609 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the wedge block 608, an installation rod 610 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the box 1, a rubber ring 611 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the connecting rope 609 and sleeved on the outside of the installation rod 610, a spring 612 is fixedly installed on the front side of the movable clamp block 603 and is fixedly connected to the front side of the inner wall of the mounting frame 601 and sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod 604, the elastic coefficient of the spring 612 can be set according to the requirements.
[0030] The inner bottom wall of the housing 1 has holes that fit the mounting frame 601. Rubber pads are fixedly installed on the opposite sides of the fixing block 602 and the movable clamping block 603. Through holes that fit the connecting rod 604 are opened on the front side of the inner wall of the mounting frame 601 and the front side of the inner wall of the housing 1. There are four fixing blocks 602 and four movable clamping blocks 603, which are evenly distributed from left to right. The upper and lower sides of the inner wall of the mounting frame 601 are designed with openings.
[0031] When in use, close the box door 3 to ensure good sealing of the device. Place the moxa stick raw material evenly into the feed inlet on the top plate 42. The raw material enters the box 1 through the feed inlet. Start the servo motor 51 to drive the threaded rod 52 to rotate. The lifting plate 54 moves up and down with the movement of the threaded block 53. The cylinder 57 and the blade 58 separate the stems and leaves of the raw material. The separated stems fall to the outside of the box 1 through the mounting frame 601, and the moxa leaves fall onto the lifting plate 54 and are located inside the enclosure 56. After separation, open the box door 3, take out the moxa leaves and process or store them. Clean the residue inside the box 1 regularly, check the connection of each component, and ensure that the device is operating normally. Check the wear of the blade 58 regularly and replace it if necessary.
[0032] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
[0033] In summary, this moxa stick processing stem and leaf separation device, through the setting of the fixing mechanism 6, fixes and clamps the moxa stems. When it is necessary to fix or release the moxa stick raw material, the operation of the rubber ring 611 pulls the connecting rope 609, causing the wedge block 608 to move down, and the rubber ring 611 is placed over the mounting rod 610. The wedge block 608 slides on the support rail 606 through the slider 607. The rear side of the wedge block 608 is in contact with the vertical plate 605. When the wedge block 608 moves down, it pushes the vertical plate 605 forward. The vertical plate 605 is connected to the moving clamp 603 through the connecting rod 604, and the moving clamp 603 moves forward. The clamping block 603 slides on the fixed block 602. Then, the mugwort is placed into the box 1 and positioned between the fixed block 602 and the movable clamping block 603. The rubber ring 611 is removed, and the movable clamping block 603 moves backward and resets under the tension of the spring 612, thus achieving clamping. To release the mugwort stem, simply repeat the above steps and pull the rubber ring. This achieves the goal of a low-cost clamping method and solves the problem that using multiple small electric push rods to clamp and fix the mugwort increases production costs to some extent.
