Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of moxibustion device assembly, processing and manufacturing technology, specifically to a moxibustion sheet supply device for making a suspended moxibustion tube. Background Technology
[0002] Moxibustion, as one of the traditional Chinese medicine therapies, has gained increasing popularity among consumers in recent years. With the booming development of the moxibustion industry, various moxibustion devices have appeared on the market, among which the suspended moxibustion cylinder is particularly popular due to its unique design. A suspended moxibustion cylinder typically consists of an outer paper sleeve, an inner support, and a bottom cloth piece. The outer paper sleeve provides protection, the inner support suspends the moxa stick, preventing it from directly contacting the inner wall of the paper sleeve, and the bottom cloth piece wraps around the bottom of the cylinder to prevent ash from falling during moxibustion. After wrapping, the cloth piece is fixed to the bottom of the paper sleeve with a clamp. Then, a moxibustion cylinder is attached to the outside of the paper sleeve, with a protective cap with a central hole installed at the top. Inside the protective cap, a moxibustion patch is attached. The surface of the moxibustion patch has multiple moxibustion holes, and double-sided adhesive is provided on the inner edge of the protective cap. This end, where the moxibustion patch is attached, is the treatment end, the part that will be used for moxibustion on the body. This completes the construction of a suspended moxibustion cylinder. Due to the small size of the moxibustion cylinder, manually attaching the moxa sticks is not only inefficient but also difficult, making it hard to guarantee accurate placement. Traditional manual methods are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and cannot meet the growing market demand. This is especially true in mass production, where the drawbacks of manual operation become more pronounced, easily leading to inconsistent placement and weak adhesion, severely impacting product quality and production efficiency. Furthermore, the moxa sticks are prone to scattering during storage, and the lack of effective storage devices further increases production complexity. Utility Model Content
[0003] To meet the above technical requirements, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a moxibustion patch supply device for making moxibustion tubes, which can meet the requirements of supply and installation, has a high degree of automation, can meet the large-scale market demand, and at the same time reduces the labor intensity of workers and lowers labor costs.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a moxibustion sheet supply device for making a moxibustion tube, comprising a support platform and a stepper motor disposed at the bottom of the support platform, a storage cylinder disposed on the surface of the support platform, a plurality of moxibustion sheets stacked inside the storage cylinder, a discharge port disposed at the top of the storage cylinder, a lead screw connected to the output end of the stepper motor passing through the support platform and extending into the storage cylinder, contacting the bottom of the stacked moxibustion sheets; the discharge port of the storage cylinder passes through the workbench and is flush with the surface of the workbench, and the moxibustion tube is disposed above the workbench at a position corresponding to the discharge port.
[0005] Furthermore, an observation port is provided on the outer wall of the storage cylinder, which allows the quantity of moxibustion pieces to be observed, facilitating the timely addition of moxibustion pieces from the discharge port.
[0006] When the discharge port of the storage cylinder is fixed below the workbench, it passes through the workbench and is flush with the surface of the workbench. A support base is provided below the support base. The bottom of the support base is provided with upper lifting cylinders on both sides of the stepper motor. The extension rod of the upper lifting cylinder is connected to the support base. The surface of the support base is provided with through holes to facilitate the passage of the stepper motor.
[0007] When this utility model is in operation, when the discharge port of the storage cylinder passes through the workbench and is flush with the workbench, several moxibustion pieces are first placed in the storage cylinder through the discharge port. Then, the stepper motor is started, and the stepper motor drives the lead screw to extend into the storage cylinder and move upward continuously until the top moxibustion piece of the storage cylinder is pushed to the discharge port and stops. After the moxibustion cylinder with the protective cover is pasted on enters the top of the storage cylinder, the stepper motor is started again, and the lead screw continues to rise until the moxibustion piece at the top is finally pasted on the inside of the protective cover. Then, the stepper motor drives the lead screw to retract, waiting for the new moxibustion cylinder to arrive.
[0008] When the discharge port of the storage cylinder is fixed below the workbench, several moxibustion pieces are first placed in the storage cylinder through the discharge port. Then, the stepper motor is started, and the stepper motor drives the lead screw to extend into the storage cylinder and move it upwards until the top moxibustion piece in the storage cylinder is pushed to the discharge port and stops. Wait for the moxibustion cylinder with the protective cover pasted on to enter directly above the storage cylinder. At this time, the upper lifting cylinder is started, and the upper lifting cylinder drives the support platform upwards so that the discharge port of the storage cylinder is flush with the surface of the workbench. Then the upper lifting cylinder stops working, and the stepper motor is started again. The lead screw continues to rise, and finally the moxibustion piece at the top is pasted to the inside of the protective cover. Then the stepper motor drives the lead screw to retract, waiting for the new moxibustion cylinder to arrive.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: through the coordinated work of the storage cylinder and the stepper motor, the moxibustion pieces can be glued one by one to the inside of the protective cover, which solves the problems of low efficiency of manual operation, inaccurate gluing position and difficulty in storing moxibustion pieces. It has the advantages of improving production efficiency, ensuring product quality and simplifying the operation process. Attached Figure Description
