Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of moxa stick processing technology, specifically to a moxa stick end cutting device. Background Technology
[0002] Moxibustion is currently very popular among consumers, and as a traditional Chinese medicine heritage, the moxibustion industry is gaining popularity in the market year by year. The small sections of moxa sticks used in moxibustion are made by cutting long moxa sticks into segments. When making long moxa sticks, a small section is usually cut off from both ends to make the ends smoother, more aesthetically pleasing, and free of burrs, facilitating further segmentation. However, existing cutting equipment is inefficient, producing uneven ends and lacking automation, which not only increases the labor intensity of workers but also raises labor costs. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, the purpose of this invention is to provide an end-cutting device for moxa sticks that can quickly cut off the ends before cutting the moxa sticks, resulting in neat and aesthetically pleasing cut ends. This not only improves the efficiency of cutting effective moxa sticks but also reduces the workload of workers and lowers labor costs.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a moxa stick end cutting device, including a frame, an automatic feeding device at one end of the frame, an electric linear module inside the frame, and a tray corresponding to the output end of the automatic feeding device on the surface of the electric linear module; a pressing device above the frame; and cutting devices on both sides of the frame; the tray receives moxa sticks from the automatic feeding device, the electric linear module drives the tray forward, and the pressing device presses down on the tray fully loaded with moxa sticks and moves forward synchronously, and the end of the moxa stick is cut at the point where it passes the cutting device.
[0005] Furthermore, the tray is arc-shaped.
[0006] The pressing device includes a pressure plate bracket located on the surface of the frame, a pressure plate slide rail with the bottom of the pressure plate bracket, a pressure plate cylinder with one end that can move freely on the pressure plate slide rail, and a pressure plate connected to the telescopic end of the pressure plate cylinder.
[0007] The top of the pressure plate cylinder is equipped with a sliding component, which is embedded in the outside of the pressure plate slide rail, so as to meet the requirement that the pressure plate cylinder can move freely along the pressure plate slide rail.
[0008] The cutting device includes a cutting frame, a cutting slide on the cutting frame, a cutting motor on the surface of the cutting slide, and a cutter at the output end of the cutting motor.
[0009] The surface of the cutting slide has a long slot, which is fixed to the cutting motor by fasteners. The position of the cutting motor on the cutting slide can be adjusted through the long slot.
[0010] When this utility model is in operation, the electric linear module drives the arc-shaped support plate to wait for the moxa stick to be received at the output end of the automatic feeding device. The pressure plate in the pressing device stays between the cutter and the automatic feeding device, and at this time, the pressure plate cylinder is in the raised state, and the cutter motor drives the cutter to rotate at high speed at the same time.
[0011] After the arc-shaped support plate receives the moxa stick, the electric linear module moves the arc-shaped support plate forward. When the arc-shaped support plate moves to the position below the pressure plate, the pressure plate cylinder presses down instantly, and the pressure plate presses the moxa stick on the arc-shaped support plate to a certain extent. At this time, the electric linear module continues to move forward, and at the same time, it drives the pressure plate and the pressure plate cylinder to move forward along the pressure plate slide rail. When the arc-shaped support plate and the pressure plate move together and pass the cutter, the moxa stick on the arc-shaped support plate, under the pressure of the pressure plate, has its ends cut by the cutter.
[0012] At this point, after all the moxa sticks on the arc-shaped pallet have passed through the cutter, the pallet continues to move forward. During this process, the pressure plate cylinder lifts and releases the pressure plate, which then stops sliding and waits in this position. After the arc-shaped pallet delivers the cut moxa sticks to the next process, the empty pallet returns. When it passes the pressure plate's resting position again, the pressure plate presses down again onto the empty pallet. With the help of the pallet's power, it returns to the initial waiting position. The pressure plate cylinder then lifts again, and the pressure plate stops retracting and enters the waiting state again. Once the arc-shaped pallet returns to the automatic feeding device, it receives the moxa sticks and moves forward again, repeating the above actions in a round trip.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: it is easy to use, it enables rapid and automated cutting of the ends of moxa sticks, and the cut ends are flat and aesthetically pleasing. It not only improves the cutting efficiency of effective moxa sticks, but also reduces the workload of workers and lowers labor costs. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0019] Appendix Figure 1-3 This is one embodiment of the present invention, which discloses a cutting device for the end of an moxa stick 4, including a frame 11, an automatic feeding device 5 at one end of the frame 11, an electric linear module 6 on the inner side of the frame 11, and an arc-shaped support plate 7 on the surface of the electric linear module 6 corresponding to the output end of the automatic feeding device 5; the support plate 7 is designed to receive the moxa stick 4, and the electric linear module 6 is used to drive the support plate 7 and feed the moxa stick 4 into the cutting area.
[0020] A pressing device is provided above the frame 11. The pressing device includes a pressing plate bracket 1 located on the surface of the frame 11, a pressing plate slide rail 12 with the bottom of the pressing plate bracket 1, a pressing plate cylinder 14 with one end able to move freely on the pressing plate slide rail 12, and a pressing plate 3 connected to the telescopic end of the pressing plate cylinder 14. A sliding component 13 is provided on the top of the pressing plate cylinder 14. The sliding component 13 is embedded in the outside of the pressing plate slide rail 12 to meet the requirement that the pressing plate cylinder 14 can move freely along the pressing plate slide rail 12. The pressing plate 3 is designed to press the moxa stick 4 tightly for easy and quick cutting. The creative design is that after the pressing plate 3 presses the moxa stick 4 tightly, it can move together with the electric linear module 6 by setting the pressing plate slide rail 12.
[0021] Cutting devices are provided on both sides of the frame 11. Each cutting device includes a cutting fixture 8, a cutting slide 9 mounted on the cutting fixture 8, a cutting motor 10 mounted on the surface of the cutting slide 9, and a cutter 2 mounted on the output end of the cutting motor 10. The surface of the cutting slide 9 has a long slot, which is fixed to the cutting motor 10 by fasteners. The position of the cutting motor 10 on the cutting slide 9 can be adjusted through the long slot. The pallet 7 receives the moxa sticks 4 from the automatic feeding device 5. The electric linear module 6 drives the pallet 7 forward. The pressure plate 3 presses down on the pallet 7, which is fully loaded with moxa sticks 4, and moves forward synchronously. The end of the moxa stick 4 is cut at the cutter 2.
[0022] When this utility model is in operation, the electric linear module 6 drives the arc support plate 7 to wait for the moxa stick 4 to be received at the output end of the automatic feeding device 5. The pressure plate 3 in the pressing device stays between the cutter 2 and the automatic feeding device 5 and waits. At this time, the pressure plate cylinder 14 is in the raised state, and the motor of the cutter 2 drives the cutter 2 to rotate at high speed at the same time.
[0023] After the arc-shaped support plate 7 receives the moxa stick 4, the electric linear module 6 drives the arc-shaped support plate 7 to move forward. When the arc-shaped support plate 7 moves to the position below the pressure plate 3, the pressure plate cylinder 14 presses down instantly, and the pressure plate presses the moxa stick 4 on the arc-shaped support plate 7 to a certain extent. At this time, the electric linear module 6 continues to move forward, and drives the pressure plate 3 and the pressure plate cylinder 14 to move forward along the pressure plate slide rail 12. When the arc-shaped support plate 7 and the pressure plate 3 move together and pass the cutter 2, the moxa stick 4 on the arc-shaped support plate 7 is pressed by the pressure plate 3, and the ends of the moxa stick 4 are cut by the cutter 2.
[0024] At this point, after all the moxa sticks 4 on the arc-shaped support plate 7 have passed through the cutter 2, the arc-shaped support plate 7 continues to move forward. During this process, the pressure plate cylinder 14 lifts the pressure plate and releases it, and the pressure plate stops sliding and waits in this position. After the arc-shaped support plate 7 delivers the cut moxa sticks 4 to the next process, the empty arc-shaped support plate 7 returns. When it passes the position where the pressure plate 3 stops again, the pressure plate presses down again, pressing onto the empty arc-shaped support plate 7. With the help of the power of the arc-shaped support plate 7, it returns to the initial waiting position. The pressure plate cylinder 14 then lifts up again, and the pressure plate 3 stops retracting and enters the waiting state again. When the arc-shaped support plate 7 returns to the automatic feeding device 5, after receiving the moxa sticks 4, it moves forward again, repeating the above actions, running back and forth.
[0025] The above are only some specific embodiments of this utility model, but the design concept of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to this utility model using this concept shall be considered as an infringement of the protection scope of this utility model.
