Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of moxibustion technology, specifically a moxibustion grain forming device. Background Technology

[0002] Moxibustion with moxa grains is a treatment method that involves placing moxa wool, shaped into grains the size of wheat grains, on acupoints or affected areas, and then igniting it to prevent and treat diseases and improve symptoms. It has the effects of warming the meridians and dispelling cold, supporting yang qi, and resolving stagnation and nodules. Moxa wool is a fluffy and soft plant fiber that needs to be shaped into moxa grains before moxibustion and used as soon as possible. Otherwise, the moxa grains will become loose after being left for a long time, which will affect the treatment effect. However, if the moxa grains are too firm, they will also cause the burning temperature to be too high and easily cause burns. Therefore, the tightness of the moxa grains is very important.

[0003] Most existing moxa cones for moxibustion are handmade, kneaded by the fingers before moxibustion. However, this handmade method makes it difficult to control the size of each moxa cone to be the same, and the kneaded moxa cones are of poor quality and soft in texture, making them inconvenient for the practitioner to pick up. They are also prone to falling sparks and burning the patient after burning. Furthermore, when a large number of moxa cones need to be kneaded, it can also cause strain and tenderness on the operator's fingertips, which is not conducive to the implementation of moxibustion treatment.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, there is an urgent need for innovative design based on existing equipment. Therefore, we have proposed a moxa grain forming device that can effectively solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a moxa pellet forming device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, which is that most existing moxa pellets are made by kneading with fingers. However, this manual manufacturing method makes it difficult to control the size of each moxa pellet to be the same, and the kneaded moxa pellets are of poor quality, soft in texture, inconvenient for the moxibustion practitioner to pick up, and easy to fall and burn the patient with sparks after burning.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a moxibustion grain forming device, comprising a kneading column tube, wherein a plurality of support feet for support are fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the kneading column tube, a top cover is threaded onto the top of the kneading column tube, and a discharge port is formed at the bottom of the kneading column tube.

[0007] The kneading tube is equipped with a kneading mechanism inside. This mechanism includes a fixed frame fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the kneading tube. The fixed frame consists of supporting rods around the perimeter and a central mounting ring. A shaft is rotatably limited on the inner side of the mounting ring, and a spiral blade is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the shaft. A locking pin is rotatably limited on the inner center of the top cover, and a handwheel is fixedly connected to the top of the locking pin. The bottom of the locking pin is inserted into the top of the shaft. By using this kneading mechanism, the top cover is first screwed off from the top of the kneading tube, and the moxa wool is placed inside the kneading tube. Then, the top cover is screwed off... Tighten the cap to the top of the moxa tube. When closing the cap, make sure the locking pin and the shaft are aligned and inserted to fix them axially. Then turn the handwheel to drive the locking pin to rotate. The locking pin will continue to drive the shaft to rotate. The spiral blade on the outside of the shaft will rotate synchronously, which will cause the moxa wool to be spirally conveyed downwards. During the process of conveying to the bottom outlet, the moxa wool will be gradually kneaded into a moxa column with a suitable tightness. This will ensure that the moxa pellets produced later are neither too soft, making it inconvenient for doctors to pick up, or causing sparks to fall and burn patients after burning, nor too dense and too hot.

[0008] The discharge port is equipped with a pelletizing mechanism to cut the moxa sticks entering the discharge port into uniformly sized, wheat-grain-shaped moxa pellets that are thicker in the middle and tapered at both ends. This ensures the uniformity of the size of the moxa pellets, thereby maintaining a stable therapeutic effect.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom outer wall of the locking post is formed with a protrusion, and the top of the shaft post is provided with a locking groove. The locking groove matches the overall structure of the locking post and the protrusion. Through the cooperation of the protrusion and the locking groove of the locking post, the axial limiting insertion of the locking post and the shaft post is realized.

[0010] Preferably, the pelletizing mechanism includes movable grooves on both sides of the discharge port. Two symmetrically distributed forming shells are slidably connected to the inner side of each movable groove. The two forming shells have a grain-like shell structure with sharp cutting edges, and their bottoms abut against each other. The distance between their tops matches the inner diameter of the discharge port. A fixed seat is formed on the outer wall of the discharge port. A bidirectional threaded rod is rotatably limited on the inner side of the fixed seat. A handle is fixedly connected to one side of the bidirectional threaded rod. Two symmetrically distributed movable blocks are threadedly connected to the outer side of the bidirectional threaded rod. One end of each of the two movable blocks is fixedly connected to a mounting base via a connecting post. A shaft seat is formed on the outer wall of each of the two forming shells. The shaft seat is rotatably connected to the inner side of the mounting base. By setting the pelletizing assembly, when the pellet enters the discharge port, its bottom will contact the inner part of the abutting bottom of the two forming shells. At this time, rotating the handle drives the bidirectional threaded rod to rotate, and the bidirectional threaded rod continues to drive the outer... Two moving blocks on the side move synchronously closer together. These blocks, connected by a connecting column, drive the mounting base to move closer together, and the two shaft seats move closer simultaneously. This causes the two forming shells to automatically flip downwards, forming a closed shell. During this closing process, the moxa cone is cut into grain-shaped moxa pellets that match the shell. After cutting, the handle is rotated in the opposite direction. This, along with the transmission from the bidirectional threaded rod, moving blocks, connecting column, mounting base, and shaft seats, drives the two forming shells to move away from each other. When the two forming shells have completely exited the inner diameter of the discharge port, the moxa pellets automatically slide out from the bottom of the discharge port. Finally, the handle is rotated clockwise again, causing the two forming shells to move closer together until their bottoms touch, allowing for the next cutting and shaping. Using a device to roll the moxa pellets instead of manually avoids the need for the practitioner to roll too many pellets, which can cause strain and pain in the fingertips and hinder the implementation of moxa pellet moxibustion. This design improves the efficiency of moxa pellet moxibustion operations and reduces the workload of operators.

[0011] Preferably, the outer wall of the bidirectional threaded rod is formed with a convex ring, and the inner wall of the fixed seat is provided with a groove that matches the convex ring. The bidirectional threaded rod and the fixed seat are limited to rotate by the limiting rotation of the convex ring and the groove, thereby ensuring the stability of the bidirectional threaded rod rotating to drive the two moving blocks to move.

[0012] Preferably, the bearing seat is detachably installed on the inner side of the mounting base via a bolted connector, and the bolted connector is axially limited by the bearing seat. A torsion spring is fixedly connected to the outside of the bolted connector, and the end of the torsion spring is fixedly inserted into the outer end face of the mounting base. Through the cooperation of the bolted connector and the torsion spring, the two forming shells are in an inclined state when not under force, and their bottoms abut each other, so as to facilitate the support of the moxa stick and the forming of the moxa pellet. When the two forming shells approach to close and cut, the torsion spring will automatically twist to avoid affecting the closure of the two. Furthermore, the bearing seat and the forming shell can be removed by simply unscrewing the bolted connector, and other sizes can be replaced to realize the production of moxa pellets of different sizes.

[0013] Preferably, the moxa stick is made of a completely transparent material, and its outer wall is formed with multiple equidistant scale lines, so that the user can observe and judge the volume of the moxa stick each time it is cut, so that the forming size of the moxa pellets can be precisely controlled.

[0014] Preferably, a collection tray is placed directly below the discharge port to collect the falling mugwort particles.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This moxa pellet forming device, by setting up a rolling mechanism and a pellet cutting mechanism, can easily produce uniformly sized moxa pellets in the shape of wheat grains. The produced moxa pellets are neither too soft, making them inconvenient for the practitioner to pick up, or causing burns from falling sparks after burning, nor too dense, resulting in excessively high burning temperatures. Furthermore, using a device to roll the pellets instead of manually avoids the need for the practitioner to roll too many pellets, which could lead to strain and tenderness in the fingertips, hindering the implementation of moxa pellet moxibustion. This design improves the efficiency of moxa pellet moxibustion operations and reduces the workload of operators. The specific details are as follows:

[0016] 1. By setting up a kneading column mechanism, when using it, first open the top cover, put the moxa wool into the kneading column tube, and then close the cover. Then turn the handwheel to drive the clamping column, shaft column, and spiral plate to rotate in sequence, so that the moxa wool can be spiraled downward to knead and transport. During the process, the moxa wool will be gradually kneaded into a moxa column with a suitable tightness. This ensures that the moxa pellets produced later are neither too soft, making it inconvenient for doctors to pick up, or easily falling off and burning patients with sparks after burning, nor too dense, causing the burning temperature to be too high.

[0017] 2. By setting up a pelletizing component, when the moxa stick enters the discharge port and contacts the bottom of the two forming shells, the handle is turned to drive the bidirectional threaded rod to rotate. The bidirectional threaded rod continues to drive the two outer moving blocks, connecting column, mounting seat, and shaft seat to move closer to the forming shell in sync. In this way, the two forming shells will automatically flip downward to form a closed shell. During the closing process, the moxa stick will be cut into wheat grain-shaped moxa pellets that match the shell. After cutting, the handle is turned in the opposite direction to drive the two forming shells to move away from each other, so that the moxa pellets slide out from the bottom of the discharge port. In this way, uniformly sized wheat grain-shaped moxa pellets with a thick middle and pointed ends can be produced, thereby keeping the treatment effect stable.

[0018] 3. By using the bolt connection between the shaft seat and the mounting base and the torsion spring, the two forming shells can be in an inclined state when not under force, with their bottoms abutting each other, so as to facilitate the support of the moxa stick and the forming of the moxa pellets. When the two forming shells approach to close and cut, the torsion spring will automatically twist to avoid affecting the closure of the two. Furthermore, the shaft seat and the forming shell can be removed by simply unscrewing the bolt connection, and other sizes can be replaced to make moxa pellets of different sizes.

[0019] 4. The moxa stick tube is made of a completely transparent material, and its outer wall is formed with multiple equidistant scale lines, so that users can observe and judge the volume of each cut of the moxa stick, so that the forming size of the moxa pellets can be precisely controlled.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-6 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a moxibustion grain forming device, comprising a kneading tube 1, a plurality of support feet 2 for support are fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the kneading tube 1, a top cover 3 is threadedly fitted to the top of the kneading tube 1, and a discharge port 4 is formed at the bottom of the kneading tube 1.

[0029] The kneading tube 1 is internally equipped with a kneading mechanism, which includes a fixed frame 5 fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the kneading tube 1. The fixed frame 5 consists of four supporting rods and a central mounting collar. A shaft 6 is rotatably limited on the inner side of the mounting collar of the fixed frame 5. A spiral blade 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the shaft 6. A locking post 10 is rotatably limited on the inner center of the top cover 3. A handwheel 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the locking post 10. The bottom of the locking post 10 is inserted into the top of the shaft 6. The bottom outer wall of the locking post 10 has a protrusion, and the top of the shaft 6 has a slot 8. The slot 8 matches the overall structure of the locking post 10 and the protrusion. Through the cooperation of the protrusion of the locking post 10 and the slot 8, the axial limiting insertion of the locking post 10 and the shaft 6 is achieved. By setting up the kneading mechanism, during use... First, unscrew the top cover 3 from the top of the kneading column tube 1 and place the moxa wool inside the kneading column tube 1. Then, tighten the top cover 3 to cover the top of the kneading column tube 1. When closing the cover, the locking post 10 and the shaft post 6 should be aligned and inserted to achieve axial fixation of the two. Then, turn the handwheel 9 to drive the locking post 10 to rotate. The locking post 10 continues to drive the shaft post 6 to rotate. The spiral plate 7 on the outside of the shaft post 6 rotates synchronously, so that the placed moxa wool can be spirally downward to knead and convey. During the process of conveying to the bottom outlet 4, the moxa wool will be gradually kneaded into a moxa column with a suitable tightness. This ensures that the moxa pellets produced later are neither too soft, making it inconvenient for doctors to pick up, or prone to falling sparks and burning patients after burning, nor too dense, resulting in excessively high burning temperature.

[0030] Example 2: Based on Example 1, a pelletizing mechanism is provided at the discharge port 4 to cut the moxa cone entering the discharge port 4 into uniformly sized, grain-shaped moxa pellets that are thicker in the middle and tapered at both ends. This ensures the uniformity of the moxa pellet size, thereby maintaining a stable therapeutic effect. Specifically, the pelletizing mechanism includes movable grooves 11 on both sides of the discharge port 4. Two symmetrically distributed forming shells 12 are slidably connected to the inner side of the movable grooves 11. The two forming shells 12 are generally grain-shaped shells with sharp cutting edges, and their bottoms are connected. The top spacing matches the inner diameter of the discharge port 4. A fixed seat 13 is formed on the outer end wall of the discharge port 4. A bidirectional threaded rod 14 is rotatably limited on the inner side of the fixed seat 13. A handle 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the bidirectional threaded rod 14. Two symmetrically distributed moving blocks 16 are threadedly connected to the outer side of the bidirectional threaded rod 14. A convex ring is formed on the middle outer wall of the bidirectional threaded rod 14, and a groove matching the convex ring is formed on the inner wall of the fixed seat 13. The bidirectional threaded rod 14 and the fixed seat 13 are rotatably limited by the rotation of the convex ring and the groove. The rotation is limited, thus ensuring the stability of the two moving blocks 16 driven by the rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod 14. One end of each of the two moving blocks 16 is fixedly connected to a mounting base 18 via a connecting post 17. The outer walls of both molded shells 12 are formed with shaft seats 19, which are rotatably connected to the inner side of the mounting base 18. The shaft seats 19 are detachably installed on the inner side of the mounting base 18 via bolt connectors 20, and the bolt connectors 20 and shaft seats 19 are axially limited. A torsion spring 21 is fixedly connected to the outside of the bolt connectors 20. The end is fixedly inserted into the outer end face of the mounting base 18. Through the cooperation of the bolt connector 20 and the torsion spring 21, the two forming shells 12 can be in an inclined state when not under force, and their bottoms abut each other, so as to facilitate the support of the moxa stick and the forming of the moxa pellet. When the two forming shells 12 approach each other to close and cut, the torsion spring 21 will automatically twist to avoid affecting the closure of the two. Furthermore, by simply unscrewing the bolt connector 20, the shaft seat 19 and the forming shell 12 can be removed and replaced with other sizes to realize the production of moxa pellets of different sizes.

[0031] By setting up a pelletizing assembly, when the moxa stick enters the discharge port 4, its bottom will contact the inner bottom of the two forming shells 12 that abut against each other. At this time, rotating the handle 15 will drive the bidirectional threaded rod 14 to rotate. The bidirectional threaded rod 14 will continue to drive the two outer moving blocks 16 to move closer synchronously. The two moving blocks 16 will continue to drive the mounting base 18 to move closer synchronously through the connection of the connecting column 17. The two shaft seats 19 will also move closer synchronously. In this way, the two forming shells 12 will automatically flip downward to form a closed shell. During the closing process, the moxa stick will be cut to form moxa grains that match the shell. After cutting is completed, rotating the handle 15 in the opposite direction will also... The two forming shells 12 are driven to move away from each other by the transmission of the bidirectional threaded rod 14, the moving block 16, the connecting column 17, the mounting base 18, and the shaft seat 19. When the two forming shells 12 have moved to completely disengage from the inner diameter of the discharge port 4, the moxa grains automatically slide out from the bottom of the discharge port 4. Finally, the handle 15 is rotated forward again to make the two forming shells 12 move closer together until they touch at the bottom, and then the next cutting and forming can be carried out. Using the device to roll the moxa grains instead of manually rolling them can avoid the need for the moxibustion practitioner to roll too many moxa grains, which can cause strain and pain in the fingertips and is not conducive to the development of moxibustion. This setting is conducive to improving the work efficiency of moxibustion operation and reducing the workload of the operator.

[0032] In addition, the moxa stick tube 1 is made of a completely transparent material, and its outer wall is formed with multiple equally spaced scale lines 22, so that the user can observe and judge the volume of each cut of the moxa stick, so that the forming size of the moxa pellets can be precisely controlled. Furthermore, a collection tray 23 is placed directly below the discharge port 4 to collect the falling moxa pellets.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
