Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of mugwort processing equipment, and in particular to a mugwort pulverizing device for processing moxibustion patches. Background Technology

[0002] Moxibustion patches are made by processing mugwort leaves into moxa sticks or moxa wool, combined with other traditional Chinese herbs, and then fixing them onto an adhesive base or other carrier. They generally consist of a breathable adhesive layer, a protective film for the adhesive layer, a self-heating layer, a layer of moxa wool and traditional Chinese herbs, and an essential oil delivery layer. They achieve therapeutic effects through the gentle heat emitted by the body and the action of the medicine. Moxibustion patches can warm and unblock the meridians, dispel cold from the body, and have a certain therapeutic effect on cold-related diseases such as cold-induced arthralgia, and cold pain in the lower back and legs. By stimulating meridians and acupoints, moxibustion patches can promote the circulation of qi and blood, harmonize qi and blood, and thus alleviate some gynecological problems such as irregular menstruation and dysmenorrhea.

[0003] To address this, Chinese patent application CN209333911U discloses a mugwort pulverizing device for producing moxibustion patches. The device includes a pulverizing box with an open top. First rotating holes are formed on both inner walls of the pulverizing box, and a rotating column is rotatably mounted within each hole. Multiple sets of pulverizing blades are fixedly mounted on the rotating column. A first motor is fixedly mounted on one side of the pulverizing box. The end of the rotating column near the first motor extends out of the corresponding first rotating hole and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor. Second rotating holes are formed on both inner walls of the pulverizing box, and first grinding rollers are rotatably mounted within each second rotating hole. The end of each first grinding roller near the first motor extends out of the corresponding second rotating hole and is fixedly mounted with a first gear. This invention is simple to operate and convenient to use, enabling more thorough pulverization of mugwort for better therapeutic effects.

[0004] Current moxa pulverizing devices for processing moxa patches can basically meet people's needs, but some problems still exist, as detailed below:

[0005] 1. The problem of the mugwort pulverizing device used in the processing of moxibustion patches having difficulty drying the pulverized mugwort. When the mugwort is pulverized, the juice inside will flow out, which will easily cause the mugwort to stick during transportation. The mugwort pulverizing device used in the production of moxibustion patches has difficulty drying the pulverized mugwort, which will easily affect subsequent processing.

[0006] 2. The problem of difficulty in cleaning the internal parts of the moxa pulverizing device used in the processing of moxibustion patches. After pulverizing the moxa, residual moxa fragments and juice remain on various parts of the pulverizing box, which is difficult to clean and will affect the subsequent pulverizing effect.

Its advantages are as follows: The device has a pulverizing mechanism installed inside the pulverizing chamber to perform secondary pulverization of the mugwort, avoiding any incomplete pulverization and ensuring more uniform pulverization. The pulverized mugwort can be dried by a drying mechanism, facilitating subsequent transportation and processing and extending the shelf life of the mugwort. After pulverization, the inside of the pulverizing chamber can be cleaned by a cleaning mechanism, extending the device's service life and preventing residual mugwort from affecting the quality of subsequent processing.

[0020] By installing a drying chamber on one side of the grinding chamber, when the mugwort is ground, it falls to the top of the conveyor belt. Driven by the first motor, the mugwort will follow the conveyor belt into the interior of the drying chamber. Multiple heating tubes are installed inside the drying chamber to dry the mugwort. During the drying process, the fan can accelerate the airflow inside the drying chamber, and the ventilation holes can ensure smooth airflow. This achieves the purpose of drying the ground mugwort in the mugwort grinding device for moxibustion patch processing.

[0021] By installing a water tank on one side of the bracket, after the mugwort inside the grinding box is completely ground and discharged, the water pump is activated to draw water from the water tank into the water pipe through the water suction pipe and spray it out through the nozzle. The water is then evenly sprayed onto the inner wall of the grinding box and the surfaces of the first grinding roller, the grinding blade, and the second grinding roller, thereby cleaning the mugwort residue and the juice produced during grinding. This achieves the purpose of cleaning the inside of the mugwort grinding device for processing moxibustion patches. Attached Figure Description
