Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of moxibustion device assembly, processing and manufacturing technology, specifically to a device for taking and placing moxa sticks in 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 device for picking up and placing moxa sticks in the production of moxibustion tubes, which can meet the requirements of suction and installation, has a high degree of automation, can meet the needs of 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 device for picking up and placing moxa sticks for making a moxibustion tube, comprising a frame and a feeding mechanism mounted on the frame, a suction mechanism on one side of the feeding mechanism, the feeding mechanism comprising a support frame and a storage tube mounted on the support frame, the outer wall of the storage tube having a storage opening for placing multiple moxa sticks, a discharge port at one end of the storage tube, flexible baffles around the discharge port to prevent the moxa sticks from flowing out automatically, and an elastic mechanism for pressing the moxa sticks at the other end of the storage tube; the suction mechanism comprises a support plate and a first cylinder mounted on one side of the support plate, a rotary cylinder at the top of the first cylinder, a second cylinder at the output end of the rotary cylinder, and a suction nozzle connected to the telescopic end of the second cylinder; when the rotary cylinder is working, it drives the second cylinder to rotate 90 degrees, so that the suction nozzle is aligned with the discharge port to pick up the moxa sticks, and the operation of the second cylinder and the first cylinder satisfies the requirement of attaching the moxa sticks to the inside of the protective cover.

[0005] Furthermore, the elastic mechanism includes a through shaft that passes through the inside of the storage cylinder, and a spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the through shaft.

[0006] The top of the first cylinder is equipped with a support platform for placing the rotary cylinder. The output end of the rotary cylinder is connected to a vertical plate for fixing the second cylinder. The suction nozzle connected to the telescopic end of the second cylinder is powered by an air source.

[0007] In operation, this invention involves placing several moxibustion pieces into the storage cylinder. After the spring contacts the outermost moxibustion piece at the discharge port, it is blocked by a flexible baffle. The rotary cylinder is activated, causing the second cylinder to rotate the suction nozzle 90 degrees. The telescopic end of the second cylinder then extends to ensure the suction nozzle is aligned with the discharge port. The nozzle, powered by an air source, draws the moxibustion piece from the flexible baffle. Once the suction is complete, the telescopic end of the second cylinder retracts. The rotary cylinder reverses, returning the second cylinder to its original position. The telescopic end of the second cylinder then extends again, inserting the moxibustion piece from the suction nozzle into the moxibustion cylinder. The telescopic end of the second cylinder then stops extending. At this point, the telescopic end of the first cylinder extends, moving the moxibustion piece towards the protective cover of the moxibustion cylinder until it is finally adhered to the inside of the protective cover. After adhesion, the telescopic end of the first cylinder points downwards, and the suction nozzle returns to its original position, ready to draw in new moxibustion pieces.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: through the coordinated work of the feeding mechanism and the suction mechanism, the flexible baffle prevents the moxibustion pieces from scattering, and the precise suction and pasting of the moxibustion pieces is achieved through the cooperation of the rotary cylinder and multiple cylinders. This solves the problems of low efficiency of manual operation, inaccurate pasting 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

Detailed Implementation

[0014] Appendix Figure 1-3 This is an embodiment of the present invention, disclosing a device for picking up and placing moxa sticks 4 for making a moxibustion tube. It includes a frame and a feeding mechanism on the frame. The feeding mechanism has a suction mechanism on one side. The feeding mechanism includes a support frame 6 and a storage cylinder 2 on the support frame 6. The outer wall of the storage cylinder 2 has a storage port 14 for placing multiple moxa sticks 4. One end of the storage cylinder 2 has a discharge port 5. Flexible baffles 15 are provided around the discharge port 5 to prevent the moxa sticks 4 from flowing out automatically. The other end of the storage cylinder 2 has an elastic mechanism for pressing the moxa sticks 4. The suction mechanism includes a support plate 7 and a first cylinder 8 on one side of the support plate 7. The top of the first cylinder 8 has a rotating cylinder 10. The output end of the rotating cylinder 10 has a second cylinder 12. The telescopic end of the second cylinder 12 is connected to a suction nozzle 13. When the rotating cylinder 10 is working, it drives the second cylinder 12 to rotate 90 degrees, so that the suction nozzle 13 is aligned with the discharge port 5 to pick up the moxa sticks 4. When the second cylinder 12 and the first cylinder 8 are working, they are able to stick the moxa sticks 4 to the inside of the protective cover.

[0015] The frame refers to the supporting structure that carries the feeding mechanism and the suction device. The feeding mechanism is a device for storing and orderly outputting moxa sticks 4, specifically including a support frame 6 and a storage cylinder 2. The support frame 6 is fixed on the frame, and the storage cylinder 2 contains multiple stacks of moxa sticks 4. The storage opening 14 on the outer wall of the storage cylinder 2 is an opening for placing the moxa stick 4 to be taken out. The opening size can be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the moxa stick 4 to allow for manual or mechanical replenishment. The discharge port 5 is a channel at the end of the storage cylinder 2 for releasing a single moxa stick 4. The flexible baffle 15 is a thin sheet of elastic material, such as silicone or rubber, placed around the discharge port 5. Through its own deformation, it allows the moxa stick 4 to pass through under external force and then resets to prevent subsequent moxa sticks 4 from sliding out. The suction mechanism includes a support plate 7 and a multi-stage cylinder assembly. The support plate 7 is connected to the frame via guide rails to achieve horizontal movement. The first cylinder 8 refers to the linear cylinder that drives the support plate 7 to move in the vertical direction. The output end of the rotary cylinder 10 is connected to the second cylinder 12. The second cylinder 12 refers to the miniature cylinder that drives the suction nozzle 13 to extend and retract. The suction nozzle 13 is connected to the vacuum generator through the air pipe to generate negative pressure suction force.

[0016] In operation, several moxibustion pieces 4 are placed in the storage cylinder 2. After the spring 3 contacts the cylinder, the outermost moxibustion piece 4 at the discharge port 5 is blocked by the flexible baffle 15. The rotary cylinder 10 is activated, causing the second cylinder 12 to rotate the suction nozzle 13 90 degrees. Then, the telescopic end of the second cylinder 12 extends to ensure that the suction nozzle 13 is aligned with the discharge port 5. The nozzle, powered by the air source, sucks the moxibustion piece 4 out of the flexible baffle 15. After suction, the telescopic end of the second cylinder 12 retracts. The rotary cylinder 10 reverses to return the second cylinder 12 to its original position. After returning to its original position, the telescopic end of the second cylinder 12 extends again, inserting the moxibustion piece 4 on the suction nozzle 13 into the moxibustion cylinder. The telescopic end of the second cylinder 12 then stops extending. At this time, the telescopic end of the first cylinder 8 extends, moving the moxibustion piece 4 towards the protective cover of the moxibustion cylinder, and finally sticking the moxibustion piece 4 to the inside of the protective cover. After sticking, the telescopic end of the first cylinder 8 points downward, and the suction nozzle 13 returns to its original position, ready to suck up new moxibustion pieces 4.

[0017] This invention achieves stable picking and placing of moxa sticks dozens of times per minute through cylinder linkage control. The flexible baffle 15 structure avoids the jamming or misalignment of moxa sticks 4 caused by traditional rigid baffles. The rotary cylinder 10, in conjunction with multiple cylinders, ensures precise positioning of the suction nozzle 13 in three-dimensional space, making it particularly suitable for handling miniature moxa sticks 4 with a diameter of less than 30 mm. Through the above technical solutions, this application achieves full automation of the moxa stick 4 process from feeding to pasting, increasing production speed to more than 10 times that of manual operation. The flexible baffle 15, working in conjunction with multiple cylinders, ensures that only one moxa stick 4 is picked up at a time, avoiding the yield reduction caused by the adhesion of two sticks. The angle adjustment of the rotary cylinder 10 allows the movement trajectory of the suction nozzle 13 to adapt to the compact working space, solving the problem of picking and placing positioning of miniature components.

[0018] The elastic mechanism includes a through shaft 1 that passes through the inside of the storage cylinder 2, and a spring 3 is sleeved on the outer wall of the through shaft 1. The top of the first cylinder 8 is provided with a support platform 9 for placing the rotary cylinder 10. The output end of the rotary cylinder 10 is connected to a vertical plate 11 for fixing the second cylinder 12. The suction nozzle 13 connected to the telescopic end of the second cylinder 12 is powered by an air source.

[0019] In this embodiment of the invention, several moxibustion pieces 4 are placed in the storage cylinder 2. After the spring 3 contacts the cylinder, the outermost moxibustion piece 4 located at the discharge port 5 is blocked by the flexible baffle 15. The rotary cylinder 10 is activated, causing the second cylinder 12 to drive the suction nozzle 13 to rotate 90 degrees. Then, the telescopic end of the second cylinder 12 extends to ensure that the suction nozzle 13 is aligned with the discharge port 5. The nozzle, powered by the air source, draws the moxibustion piece 4 from the flexible baffle 15, completing the suction. After suction, the moxibustion piece 4 in the storage cylinder 2 moves towards the discharge port under the elastic action of the spring 3. Mouth 5 moves; the telescopic end of the second cylinder 12 retracts, the rotating cylinder 10 reverses to return the second cylinder 12 to its original position, and the telescopic end of the second cylinder 12 extends again after returning to its original position, inserting the moxibustion piece 4 on the suction nozzle 13 into the moxibustion cylinder. After that, the telescopic end of the second cylinder 12 stops extending. At this time, the telescopic end of the first cylinder 8 extends, moving the moxibustion piece 4 towards the protective cover of the moxibustion cylinder again, and finally sticking the moxibustion piece 4 to the inside of the protective cover. After sticking, the telescopic end of the first cylinder 8 points downward, and the suction nozzle 13 returns to its original position, ready to suck up a new moxibustion piece 4.

[0020] 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.
