[0034] Example 1

[0035] A specific embodiment of this utility model is as follows: Figure 1-8 As shown, a moxa wool shaping device is disclosed, comprising:

[0036] Cylinder 1 has an internal cavity for holding moxa wool;

[0037] The propulsion assembly 2 is detachably connected to one end of the cylinder 1. The end of the propulsion assembly 2 near the cylinder 1 has a clamping member 21, and the end away from the cylinder 1 has a driving member 22. The driving member 22 is used to drive the propulsion assembly 2 to perform piston movement in the cavity of the cylinder 1.

[0038] The mold assembly 3 is detachably connected to the other end of the cylinder 1. The mold assembly 3 has a mold 31 at the end near the cylinder 1. The mold 31 is configured to cooperate with the clamping member 21 to shape the moxa wool placed in the cavity into a moxa wool tower.

[0039] Specifically, the shape of the clamping member 21 is adapted to the shape of the cavity of the cylinder 1, so that when the propulsion assembly 2 moves in the cavity of the cylinder 1, the edge of the clamping member 21 is in close contact with the inner wall of the cylinder 1, preventing the moxa wool from leaking out of the cavity. The clamping member 21 can be a piston, etc., and the driving member 22 can be a knob or a rotating handle, etc.

[0040] like Figure 7 As shown, in use, first connect the cylinder 1 to the mold assembly 3, then place the moxa wool into the cavity of the cylinder 1, and then connect the push assembly 2 to the cylinder 1, thus completing the assembly of the shaper; then use the drive component 21 to drive the push assembly 2 to move, so that the clamping component 21 and the mold 31 cooperate to squeeze the moxa wool between them into a moxa wool tower, then disassemble the mold assembly 3 and the cylinder 1, and demold the moxa wool tower from the mold 31 to complete the moxa wool shaping work.

[0041] Compared with the prior art, the moxa wool shaping device provided in this embodiment connects the propulsion component and the mold component to the two ends of the cylinder respectively. The propulsion component is driven by the driving component to move towards the mold component, and cooperates with the mold to squeeze the moxa wool to complete the shaping of the moxa wool. The structure is simple, greatly reducing the cost, and the operation is simple. The shaping work can be completed by hand.

[0042] In this embodiment, the inside of the propulsion component 2 is a hollow structure to accommodate the moxa wool clamp 23.

[0043] For example, the moxa wool tweezers 11 is a small object that can be placed from the storage box into the cylinder 1 and can be conveniently stored when not in use, such as tweezers.

[0044] In this embodiment, the end of the propulsion component 2 away from the cylinder 1 has an end cap 24, which is used to confine the moxa wool clamp 23 within the cavity of the propulsion component 2.

[0045] In this embodiment, the cylinder 1 has internal threads at both ends and the outer wall of the propulsion assembly 2 has external threads, so as to drive the propulsion assembly 2 to move when the drive member 22 is rotated.

[0046] Specifically, by providing external threads on the outer wall of the propulsion component 2 and internal threads at both ends of the cylinder 1, the propulsion component 2 can move toward or away from the mold component 3 as the drive component 22 rotates, in order to compress the moxa wool in the cavity of the cylinder 1 or prepare for compression.

[0047] In this embodiment, the mold assembly 3 further includes a demolding button 32, which is configured to release the molded moxa tower from the mold 31 by pressing it.

[0048] In this embodiment, the mold 31 includes a conical cylinder 310 and a main connecting rod 311. The conical cylinder 310 is composed of two symmetrical semi-conical cylinders 310a, and the tips of the two semi-conical cylinders 310a are hinged to one end of the main connecting rod 311.

[0049] Specifically, to prevent the shaped moxa tower from sticking to the mold 31, which would prevent demolding after disassembling the mold assembly 3 and the cylinder 1; therefore, as Figure 8 As shown, the main body of the mold 31 is set as a cone 310 composed of two semi-conical cylinders 310a. The tip of each of the two semi-conical cylinders 310a is hinged to one end of the main connecting rod, so that when the demolding button 32 is pressed, the two semi-conical cylinders 310a rotate at a certain angle in the opposite direction. The included angle between the two semi-conical cylinders 310a is 0-30°, so as to release the sticky moxa cone.

[0050] In this embodiment, the mold assembly 3 further includes a mold sleeve 33, which has a cavity inside that matches the shape of the mold 31, and an external thread on its outer wall to connect the mold assembly 3 and the cylinder 1.

[0051] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the mold sleeve 33 has a cavity inside that is adapted to the shape of the mold 31, including a channel for the main connecting rod 311 to pass through and a conical space adapted to the conical cylinder 310. The outer wall of the mold sleeve 33 is provided with external threads to stably connect with the cylinder 1, thereby providing support for the mold 31 and facilitating the pressing member 21 to extrude the moxa wool into shape.

[0052] In this embodiment, the demolding button 32 is connected to the other end of the main connecting rod 311 via the secondary connecting rod 320.

[0053] Specifically, by setting a secondary connecting rod 320 at the front end of the demolding button 32 and connecting it to the main connecting rod 311, the demolding button 32 and the mold 31 can be linked.

[0054] In this embodiment, the mold assembly 3 further includes a spring 34 and a spring retaining ring 35. The spring 34 is sleeved on the main connecting rod 311, and the spring retaining ring 35 is located on the secondary connecting rod 320.

[0055] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a spring 34 of a certain length is wound around the main connecting rod 311, a spring retaining ring 35 is set on the secondary connecting rod 320, and a spring slot is set in the channel through which the main connecting rod 311 passes in the mold sleeve 33. So when the demolding button 32 is pressed, the spring 34 is compressed, the conical cylinder 310 is released from the restraint of the mold sleeve 33, and the included angle between the two semi-conical cylinders 310a becomes larger, thus completing the demolding of the moxa tower. After the force applied to the demolding button 32 is removed, the spring 34 returns to its original shape, so that the demolding button 32 and the conical cylinder 310 return to their initial positions to prepare for the next moxa shaping work.

[0056] In this embodiment, the mold assembly 3 further includes a limiting member 36, which is located at the end of the mold sleeve 33 away from the cylinder 1 to limit the range of motion of the demolding button 32.

[0057] Specifically, the diameter of the limiting member 36 is larger than the diameter of the spring retaining ring 35, and it has a through hole with the same diameter as the secondary connecting rod 320, thereby limiting the pressing and rebound amplitude of the demolding button 32.

[0058] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
