Description

A hand-operated Eta creation tool Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Aita manufacturing technology, and more specifically, to a hand-operated Aita manufacturing tool. Background Technology

[0002] Artemisia itself has certain medicinal value in traditional Chinese medicine, such as warming the meridians and stopping bleeding, dispelling cold and relieving pain. Utilizing these properties of artemisia, it is made into products with special effects through specific production processes. Before use, artemisia is pressed into a cone shape. Currently, the production of artemisia towers is generally carried out by pressing artemisia floss with molds.

[0003] Traditional methods often involve using sticks and simple molds to compress moxa wool. Operators need to apply pressure repeatedly and rely on experience to judge the degree of compaction. Due to the lack of pressure adjustment mechanisms, it is difficult to accurately control the compaction density, which can easily lead to inconsistent tightness of the moxa cones and affect their combustion performance. Existing molds are mostly fixed structures, making it impossible to quickly change the punches and dies of different sizes or shapes, which makes it difficult to meet the diverse specifications of moxa cones. In addition, the molds and force-applying tools are separate, requiring frequent adjustments to the positioning during operation, resulting in low efficiency. After compression, the moxa cones tend to stick to the inner wall of the mold and need to be manually ejected with the help of external tools (such as thin sticks), which can easily cause damage or deformation of the moxa cones. There is a lack of specialized tools, and most operations rely on temporary tool combinations (such as wooden sticks and simple molds). The lack of linkage design between tools results in unstable force direction, making operation laborious and posing safety hazards.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a hand-operated ETA creation tool to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hand-operated Aita making tool to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A hand-operated aita making tool includes a curved plate and a straight plate hinged together by a hinge axis.

[0008] The free end of the bent plate extends to form a first pressure bar, and the free end of the straight plate extends to form a second pressure bar.

[0009] The first pressure handle and the second pressure handle are respectively provided with a connection structure on their opposing sides;

[0010] The replaceable molding assembly includes a die that is detachably mounted to the first pressure bar via the connection structure, and a punch that is correspondingly mounted to the second pressure bar and has a molding through hole.

[0011] The inner side of the second pressure handle is provided with a forming pressure adjustment component, including a fixedly disposed threaded sleeve and an adjustment rod threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve;

[0012] The inner side of the first pressure handle is threaded with a discharge ejector pin that is coaxial with the forming through hole.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the connection structure is a threaded hole, and the outer walls of the punch and die are respectively provided with external threads that mate with the threaded hole.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of this application, an elastic reset device is provided between the curved plate and the straight plate, and the elastic reset device includes springs at both ends fixed to the curved plate and the straight plate respectively.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the outer sides of the first and second pressure handles are provided with an anti-slip coating.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the end of the first handle is provided with a limiting part for restricting the gripping position.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] In the scheme of this application:

[0019] 1. This invention utilizes a pressure regulating assembly consisting of a threaded sleeve and an adjusting rod, combined with an elastic reset device, to overcome the limitations of traditional manual pressing in terms of stable density control. Operators can intuitively adjust the pressing stroke by rotating the adjusting rod, enabling customized production of moxa cones with different densities. The punch uniformly compacts the moxa wool under constant pressure, effectively eliminating the defects of local looseness or excessive tightness caused by traditional stick beating, resulting in a uniformly dense internal structure of the moxa cone. This design significantly improves combustion stability and avoids problems such as combustion interruption and fire jumps caused by uneven density. It is especially suitable for acupuncture scenarios where the burning time requirement is strict. Compared to complex electromechanical equipment, the purely mechanical structure can achieve precise pressure control without external energy, balancing ease of operation and reliability.

[0020] 2. The quick mold change design with threaded connection structure completely solves the problems of poor adaptability and low switching efficiency of traditional fixed molds. The punch and die adopt standardized interface, which can quickly replace mold components with different shapes and textures. It can seamlessly adapt to basic shapes such as cylinders, cones, and square columns, as well as special requirements such as anti-rolling patterns. Operators only need to tighten or disassemble the mold to complete the switch without additional tools, which greatly shortens the production preparation time. With coaxial ejector pins and anti-stick treatment, the molded moxibustion tower can be completely demolded, avoiding breakage or deformation caused by prying. This design allows a single tool to meet the personalized production needs of multiple scenarios such as moxibustion halls and family workshops, which significantly reduces the cost of mold procurement and management.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0028] As shown in Figures 1-4, the hand-operated Eita making tool proposed in this embodiment includes a curved plate 1 and a straight plate 2 that are hinged together by a hinge shaft 7.

[0029] The free end of the curved plate 1 extends to form a first pressure handle 11, and the free end of the straight plate 2 extends to form a second pressure handle 21;

[0030] The first pressure handle 11 and the second pressure handle 21 are respectively provided with a connecting structure 3 on their opposite sides;

[0031] The replaceable molding components include a concave mold 12 that is detachably mounted to the first pressure bar 11 via the connecting structure 3, and a convex mold 22 that is correspondingly mounted to the second pressure bar 21 and has a molding through hole 23.

[0032] The inner side of the second pressure handle 21 is provided with a forming pressure adjustment component, including a fixedly installed threaded sleeve 24 and an adjustment rod 25 threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 24. By rotating the adjustment rod 25, the distance between the punch 22 and the die 12 is changed, thereby controlling the pressing stroke and compaction density.

[0033] The inner side of the first pressure bar 11 is threaded with a discharge ejector pin 4 that is coaxial with the forming through hole 23. After pressing, the pressure bar is pressed in the opposite direction, and the ejector pin 4 pushes the ETA out of the die 12, avoiding damage caused by manual prying.

[0034] As shown in Figures 3-4, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the connecting structure 3 is further provided as a threaded hole, and the outer walls of the punch 22 and the die 12 are respectively provided with external threads that cooperate with the threaded hole. By gripping and pressing, the punch 22 and the die 12 are driven to close, so as to realize the pressing and forming of moxa wool and to realize the quick replacement of molds of different specifications.

[0035] As shown in Figures 1-2, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, an elastic reset device is further provided between the bent plate 1 and the straight plate 2. The elastic reset device includes a spring 13 with its two ends fixed to the bent plate 1 and the straight plate 2 respectively. After releasing the pressure, the pressure handle is automatically reset, improving the continuity of operation.

[0036] As shown in Figures 1-2, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the outer sides of the first pressure handle 11 and the second pressure handle 21 are provided with an anti-slip covering layer 5, which covers the outer side of the pressure handle to enhance grip stability.

[0037] As shown in Figure 1, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the end of the first handle 11 is provided with a limiting part 6 for limiting the gripping position.

[0038] Specifically, when using this hand-operated aita making tool: select the matching punch 22 and die 12 according to the target aita shape, such as cylindrical or conical; screw the punch 22 into the connecting structure 3 of the second pressure handle 21 through the external thread, ensuring it is completely tightened; install the die 12 to the connecting structure 3 of the first pressure handle 11 in the same way; check the alignment of the forming through hole 23 and the punch 22; open the maximum opening angle; evenly fill the forming through hole 23 of the die 12 with a measured amount of moxa wool; lightly press the first pressure handle 11 and the second pressure handle 21 to make the punch 22 initially contact the moxa wool, ensuring the material is centered.

[0039] Hold the anti-slip covering 5 of the first pressure handle 11 and the second pressure handle 21 with both hands, and press the limit part 6 with your thumbs to ensure that the direction of force is perpendicular. Press down the pressure handles at a uniform speed until they are fully closed. At this time, the spring 13 reaches the maximum compression state, and the punch 22 presses the moxa wool into the die 12. Keep it closed for 3-5 seconds to release the material rebound stress and improve the molding stability. Slowly release the pressure handles, and the spring 13 will automatically reset and open the mold, driving the ejector pin 4 to move forward and push the molded moxa tower out of the molding through hole 23 of the die 12. Use tweezers or your fingers to pick up the moxa tower from below the die 12 to avoid direct pulling that could cause structural damage. Use a soft brush to clean the moxa wool residue on the surface of the punch 22, the die 12 and the ejector pin 4. Apply grease to the threaded part of the adjusting rod 25 regularly to prevent rust and jamming.

[0040] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described in the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, the present utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Therefore, any modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present utility model, and all technical solutions and improvements that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention, are covered within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
