Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of moxa stick forming molds, specifically an auxiliary forming mold for moxa sticks. Background Technology
[0002] In traditional moxibustion therapy, the moxa cone (conical moxa stick) is the core material for moxibustion, and its molding quality and production efficiency directly affect the clinical experience and treatment effect. Currently, the moxa cone molding tool usually consists of a mold body, a compaction rod, and an ejector rod. The operation process is as follows: loose moxa wool is filled into the groove of the mold, and vertical pressure is applied to the moxa wool by holding the compaction rod to form a dense moxa cone structure. Then, the operator needs to insert the slender ejector rod into the pre-set micro-hole at the bottom of the mold, and the moxa cone is demolded by reverse pushing.
[0003] While the above tools can meet the needs of small-scale manual production, they have obvious drawbacks when large quantities of ETA need to be prepared, such as in hospitals: the ejector rod separates from the mold and is easy to lose; when demolding, the ejector rod needs to be inserted and force applied each time, and the ejector rod is thin and needs to be precisely aligned with the micro-hole, requiring the operator to concentrate highly to avoid the ejector rod from shifting or becoming misaligned, which can easily lead to mental fatigue. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an auxiliary molding mold for moxibustion columns. This mold can neatly integrate the ejector parts with the mold, preventing the ejector parts from being lost. Furthermore, the ejector parts are aligned linearly with the mold and can be elastically reset. This allows workers to reduce their focus on the holes, alleviate mental fatigue, and effectively solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution, the upper end face of the sleeve is in contact with the lower end face of the annular boss.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the upper end of the spring abuts against the bottom surface of the sleeve.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the ejector is a cylindrical ejector rod that can slide downwards into the conical mold.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the pressing part is a cylindrical tube with an opening at the bottom, and its outer surface slides in fit with the inner surface of the outer shell.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution, a rubber sleeve is fixedly fitted on the outer surface of the outer shell below the pressing part.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution, a collar is fixedly provided on the outer surface of one side of the upper end of the housing.
[0012] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model also provides the following technical solution: an auxiliary molding mold for moxa cones, comprising a vertical outer shell, the outer shell being a cylindrical tube with openings at the top and bottom, the inner surface of the upper end of the outer shell convexly forming an upper annular stop, a push rod is provided inside the outer shell, the upper end of the push rod is damped and fitted with a pressing part, the lower end of the pressing part is convexly formed with an annular stop part, the lower end of the push rod is damped and fitted with an upper open sleeve, an ejector is fixedly provided at the center of the bottom surface of the sleeve, a spring is fitted on the ejector, the inner surface of the lower end of the outer shell is provided with an internal thread, a sleeve with an external thread is connected to the internal thread, a lower annular stop is fixedly provided on the inner surface of the sleeve, the upper surface of the lower annular stop abuts against the lower end of the spring, the lower end of the sleeve extends out of the outer shell and its bottom surface is fixedly connected to the upper end surface of the tapered mold with openings at the top and bottom, and the ejector is aligned with the center line of the tapered mold.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution, the upper end of the spring abuts against the bottom surface of the sleeve.
[0014] As a preferred technical solution, the ejector is a cylindrical ejector rod that can slide downwards into the conical mold.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an auxiliary molding mold for moxa sticks, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. This utility model has an ejector fixed at the center of the bottom surface of the sleeve, a spring sleeved on the ejector, an internal thread on the inner surface of the lower end of the outer shell, and an external threaded sleeve connected to the internal thread. The upper end of the sleeve abuts against the lower end of the spring, and the lower end of the sleeve extends out of the outer shell and its bottom surface is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the open conical mold. In use, moxa wool is filled into the conical mold and compacted to form a conical moxa column. Hold the outer shell with one hand and press the pressing part at the upper end with your thumb. The pressing part pushes the push rod, which pushes the ejector. The ejector moves downward and extends into the conical mold, thereby ejecting the conical moxa column (moxa tower). When the ejector pin is ejected from the conical mold, the spring is compressed, releasing the pressing part. Under the elastic force of the spring, the pressing part, push rod, and ejector pin are all reset. This utility model neatly arranges the ejector pin and the conical mold together, preventing the ejector pin from being lost. Moreover, the two are aligned in a straight line, which avoids the operator having to concentrate on aligning the ejector pin with the through hole on the mold, thus relieving mental fatigue. Furthermore, the ejector pin can be reset after use, which is beneficial for the next ejection operation.
[0017] 2. In this utility model, a rubber sleeve is fixedly fitted on the outer surface of the outer shell below the pressing part. When in use, the rubber sleeve can increase the friction when the operator grips the outer shell, thus playing a role in preventing slippage.
[0018] 3. This utility model has a collar fixed on the outer surface of one side of the upper end of the shell. When not in use, the mold can be suspended and stored through the collar, which improves the convenience of use.
[0019] 4. This utility model uses the upper annular stop and the annular stop to prevent the pressing part and the push rod from being ejected from the outer shell by the spring force; the lower annular stop blocks the lower end of the spring. Attached Figure Description

[0031] 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. Example 1
[0032] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an auxiliary molding die for moxibustion columns includes a vertical outer shell 1, which is a cylindrical tube with openings at the top and bottom. An annular boss 11 is fixedly provided on the upper inner surface of the lower end of the outer shell 1. A push rod 2 (cylindrical) slides vertically through the annular boss 11. A pressing part 21 is damped and fitted onto the upper end of the push rod 2. A sleeve 3 with an upper opening is damped and fitted onto the lower end of the push rod 2 below the annular boss 11. An ejector 31 is fixedly provided at the center of the bottom surface of the sleeve 3. A spring 4 (removable) is fitted onto the ejector 31. An internal thread 12 is provided on the inner surface of the lower end of the outer shell. An externally threaded sleeve 51 is connected to the internal thread 12. The upper end of the sleeve 51 abuts against the lower end of the spring 4 (the ejector 31 can slide vertically within the sleeve 51). The lower end of the sleeve 51 extends out of the outer shell 1, and its bottom surface is fixedly connected to the upper surface of a conical mold 5 (wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, flared shape) with openings at the top and bottom. The ejector 31 is aligned with the center line of the conical mold 5.
[0033] The upper end face of the sleeve 3 is in contact with the lower end face of the annular boss 11, that is, the annular boss 11 plays a limiting role on the sleeve 3 (preventing the sleeve 3 from sliding upward).
[0034] The upper end of spring 4 abuts against the bottom surface of sleeve 3.
[0035] Ejector 31 is a cylindrical ejector rod that can slide downwards into the conical mold 5. When not inserted into the conical mold 5, ejector 31 is located inside the sleeve 51, and the lower end of ejector 31 is basically flush with the lower end of sleeve 51.
[0036] The pressing part 21 is a cylindrical tube with an opening at the bottom, and its outer surface slides in fit with the inner surface of the outer shell 1.
[0037] In use, moxa wool is filled into the conical mold 5 and compacted to form a conical moxa column (specifically, the moxa wool can be compacted using a compaction rod; those skilled in the art know the compaction method). Holding the outer casing 1 with one hand, the thumb presses the pressing part 21 at the top, pushing the push rod 2 through the pressing part 21. The push rod 2 pushes the ejector 31 (ejector rod), causing the ejector 31 to move downwards and extend into the conical mold 5, thus ejecting the conical moxa column (moxa tower). When the moxa column is ejected from the conical mold 5, the spring 4 is compressed, releasing the pressing part 21. Under the elastic force of the spring 4, the pressing part 21, push rod 2, and ejector 31 all return to their original positions. This invention neatly integrates the ejector 31 and the conical mold 5, preventing the ejector 31 from being lost. Furthermore, the center lines of the ejector 31 and the conical mold 5 are aligned, eliminating the need for workers to constantly concentrate on aligning the ejector rod with the through-hole on the mold, thus reducing mental fatigue. The ability to return to its original position after use facilitates the next ejection operation. Example 2
[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, a rubber sleeve 13 is fixedly fitted on the outer surface of the outer shell 1 below the pressing part 21.
[0039] When in use, the rubber sleeve 13 increases friction when the operator grips the outer shell 1, thus preventing slippage. Example 3
[0040] like Figure 5 As shown, a collar 14 is fixedly provided on the outer surface of one side of the upper end of the outer casing 1.
[0041] When the mold is not in use, it can be suspended and stored using the collar 14, which improves the convenience of use. Example 4
[0042] like Figure 6-9As shown, an auxiliary molding mold for moxibustion columns includes a vertical outer shell 1, which is a cylindrical tube with openings at the top and bottom. An upper annular stop 15 is formed by an inward convexity on the inner surface of the upper end of the outer shell 1. A push rod 2 (cylindrical) is disposed inside the outer shell 1. A pressing part 21 is damped and fitted onto the upper end of the push rod 2. An annular stop 22 is formed by an outward convexity on the outer surface of the lower end of the pressing part 21. The upper surface of the annular stop 22 abuts against the lower surface of the upper annular stop 15 to prevent the pressing part 21 from dislodging upwards from the opening at the upper end of the outer shell 1. A sleeve 3 with an upper opening is damped and fitted onto the lower end of the push rod 2. An ejector 31 is fixedly positioned at the center of the bottom surface of the sleeve 3. A spring 4 (removable) is fitted onto the ejector 31. An internal thread 12 is provided on the inner surface of the lower end of the outer shell. An externally threaded sleeve 51 is connected to the internal thread 12. A lower annular stop 52 is fixedly positioned on the inner surface of the sleeve 51, located at the bottom of the sleeve 51. The upper end of spring 4 abuts against the bottom surface of sleeve 3, and the lower end of spring 4 abuts against the upper surface of lower annular stop 52 (ejector 31 can slide up and down inside sleeve 51). Spring 4 is limited between the bottom surface of sleeve 3 and the upper surface of lower annular stop 52. The lower end of sleeve 51 extends out of outer shell 1 and its bottom surface is fixedly connected to the upper end surface of conical mold 5 (flared shape, wider at the bottom and narrower at the top), which has openings at the top and bottom. Ejector 31 is aligned with the center line of conical mold 5. Conical molds 5 of various sizes can be used, and each conical mold 5 is connected to sleeve 51 of the same size. The appropriate size conical mold 5 is selected clinically as needed, and the conical mold 5 of that size is threadedly connected to the lower end of outer shell through sleeve 51, thus producing a conical moxa cone (i.e., moxa tower) of the required size. A handle 53 is provided on the outer surface of the large-diameter end of conical mold 5 for easy handling.
[0043] The ejector 31 is a cylindrical ejector rod that can slide downwards into the conical mold 5. When the ejector 31 is not inserted into the conical mold 5, it is located inside the sleeve 51 and the lower annular stop 52, and the lower end of the ejector 31 is basically flush with the lower end of the lower annular stop 52.
[0044] The pressing part 21 is a cylindrical tube with an opening at the bottom, and its outer surface slides in fit with the inner surface of the outer shell 1.
[0045] In use, moxa wool is filled into the conical mold 5 and compacted to form a conical moxa column (specifically, the moxa wool can be compacted using a compaction rod; those skilled in the art know the compaction method). Holding the outer casing 1 with one hand, the thumb presses down on the upper pressing part 21 (at this time, the annular stop 22 moves down away from the upper annular stop 15). The pressing part 21 pushes the push rod 2, which in turn pushes the ejector 31 (push rod). The ejector 31 moves downward and extends into the conical mold 5, thus ejecting the conical moxa column (moxa tower). When the moxa column is ejected from the conical mold 5, the spring 4 is compressed, releasing the pressing part 21. Under the elastic force of the spring 4, the pressing part 21, push rod 2, and ejector 31 all return to their original positions, and the annular stop 22 also returns to its original position, contacting the upper annular stop 15. This utility model neatly integrates the ejector 31 and the conical mold 5, preventing the ejector 31 from being lost. Furthermore, the ejector 31 and the conical mold 5 are aligned in a straight line, eliminating the need for workers to constantly concentrate on aligning the ejector rod with the through hole on the mold, thus alleviating mental fatigue. Moreover, it can be reset after use, facilitating the next ejection operation.
