Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mugwort processing technology, and specifically relates to a drying device for mugwort processing. Background Technology

[0002] Moxa wool is a soft, cotton-like fibrous material obtained from the dried leaves of mugwort (mainly Artemisia argyi or Artemisia argyi) through repeated pounding, crushing, and sifting. It is the core material of moxibustion, and its quality directly affects the effect of moxibustion. Drying is an essential pretreatment step before processing mugwort into moxa wool. Its purpose is not only to remove moisture but also to ensure the quality of the final moxa wool product. By reducing the moisture content of fresh mugwort from 60%-70% to below 12%, it facilitates long-term storage and subsequent crushing and processing.

[0003] Existing drying equipment for mugwort processing involves evenly spreading the mugwort to be processed on a metal conveyor belt. A motor controls the mugwort to move from one end of the conveyor belt to the other, allowing it to come into contact with hot air and dry during the movement. This dries the mugwort for further processing. However, in actual use, because mugwort is light and soft, it tends to pile up easily. This can lead to uneven drying due to excessive accumulation during hot air drying, potentially affecting the drying effect and efficiency of the mugwort processing. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, this utility model addresses the shortcomings of the existing technology by providing a drying device for processing mugwort floss. During hot air drying, the material rod moves horizontally and reciprocates up and down. This composite motion continuously tumbles and disperses the mugwort floss, effectively avoiding the problem of uneven drying caused by the soft texture of the mugwort floss and its tendency to accumulate. This ensures uniform heating and drying of the mugwort floss raw material, improving drying quality and efficiency.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a drying device for processing mugwort floss, including a conveyor seat, a heating box is provided on the upper surface of the conveyor seat, multiple hot air blowers are provided on the upper side of the heating box, two symmetrically distributed guide rails are fixedly provided inside the heating box, a sliding seat is slidably provided between the guide rails, multiple sliding cylinders are provided on the lower surface of the sliding seat, a sliding column is fixedly provided inside each sliding cylinder, a sliding rod is slidably provided between the sliding column and the sliding cylinder, a movable seat is fixedly provided between the bottom ends of the sliding rods, and multiple material-holding rods are provided on the lower surface of the movable seat.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, two symmetrically distributed guide platforms are fixedly installed inside the heating box. Each guide platform has a guide groove inside. Rollers are rotatably installed at both ends of the movable seat, and the rollers are respectively installed in conjunction with the adjacent guide grooves. A mounting cover is fixedly installed in the middle of the heating box. An adjusting screw is rotatably installed inside the mounting cover. The adjusting screw is threadedly connected to the sliding seat. A servo motor is installed on the outside of the heating box. The output shaft of the servo motor is fixed to the adjusting screw through a coupling. A return spring is installed between the slide cylinder and the slide rod. The return springs are all sleeved on the outside of the slide rod.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the conveyor seat is provided with multiple rotating rods inside, and sprockets are fixedly sleeved at both ends of the outer arc surface of the rotating rods. A conveyor belt is provided between the sprockets for transmission. A feed hopper is detachably installed on one side of the conveyor seat, and a discharge hopper is detachably installed on the other side of the conveyor seat. A base is provided on the lower surface of the conveyor seat.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, multiple drive boxes are provided between the base and the conveyor seat. Each drive box has a driven pulley rotatably mounted on its upper interior via a rotating shaft, and a driving pulley rotatably mounted on its lower interior via a rotating shaft. A transmission belt is provided between the driving pulley and the adjacent driven pulley. The rotating shaft is fixed to the adjacent rotating rod via a coupling. Two symmetrically distributed linkage shafts are rotatably mounted inside the base, and each linkage shaft is fixed to the adjacent rotating shaft via a coupling. Worm gears are fixedly mounted on the outer arc surface of each linkage shaft. Two symmetrically distributed U-shaped seats are fixedly mounted at the bottom interior of the base. A worm gear is rotatably mounted inside each U-shaped seat, and the worm gear meshes with the adjacent worm gear. Two symmetrically distributed support plates are fixedly mounted at the bottom interior of the base. Linkage rods are rotatably mounted between the support plates and the adjacent U-shaped seats, and the linkage rods are fixed to the adjacent worm gears via couplings. A dual-axis motor is provided between the support plates, and the output shaft of the dual-axis motor is fixed to the linkage rod via a coupling.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0010] Firstly, driven by a dual-axis motor, the conveyor belt rotates smoothly through multiple stages of transmission, including worm gear, worm wheel, driven pulley, and driving pulley. This allows the raw material of Artemisia argyi to be automatically and continuously transported from the feed hopper to the drying area and discharged through the discharge hopper after drying. This design realizes continuous operation of feeding, drying, and discharging, significantly improving production efficiency and reducing manual intervention and labor intensity.

[0011] Secondly, the hot air blower delivers hot air downwards from the top of the heating box. This top-down air delivery method allows the hot air to penetrate the moxa floss layer more evenly and make full contact with the moxa floss, thereby efficiently removing moisture and improving drying efficiency. The servo motor drives the adjusting screw, which in turn drives the sliding seat and the movable seat to make linear reciprocating motion. The ingenious cooperation between the roller, the guide groove, and the return spring allows the material rod to move horizontally and reciprocate up and down at the same time. This composite motion can continuously turn over and disperse the moxa floss, effectively avoiding the problem of uneven drying caused by the light and soft texture of the moxa floss, which is easy to accumulate. This ensures that the moxa floss raw material is heated and dried evenly, improving the drying quality and efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0018] To better understand this utility model, the following embodiments further illustrate its content, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the embodiments described below. Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a more thorough understanding of this utility model. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model can be practiced without one or more of these details.

[0019] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the device includes a conveyor seat 102, a heating box 201 mounted on the upper surface of the conveyor seat 102, multiple hot air blowers 202 mounted on the upper side of the heating box 201, two symmetrically distributed guide rails 203 fixedly mounted inside the heating box 201, a sliding seat 204 slidably mounted between the guide rails 203, multiple sliding cylinders mounted on the lower surface of the sliding seat 204, a sliding column fixedly mounted inside each sliding cylinder, a sliding rod 205 slidably mounted between the sliding column and the sliding cylinder, a movable seat 206 fixedly mounted between the bottom ends of the sliding rods 205, and multiple material-aligning rods 207 mounted on the lower surface of the movable seat 206; two symmetrically distributed guide platforms are fixedly mounted inside the heating box 201. 208. Guide grooves 209 are provided inside the guide table 208. Rollers 210 are rotatably provided at both ends of the movable seat 206. The rollers 210 are respectively installed in cooperation with the adjacent guide grooves 209. Return springs 211 are respectively provided between the slide cylinder and the slide rod 205. The return springs 211 are all sleeved on the outside of the slide rod. A mounting cover 212 is fixedly provided in the middle of the heating box 201. An adjusting screw 213 is rotatably provided inside the mounting cover 212. The adjusting screw 213 is threadedly connected to the sliding seat 204. A servo motor 214 is provided on the outside of the heating box 201. The output shaft of the servo motor 214 is fixed to the adjusting screw 213 by a coupling.

[0020] like Figure 4 As shown, the conveyor seat 102 has multiple rotating rods 105 rotatably arranged inside. Both ends of the outer arc surface of the rotating rods 105 are fixedly fitted with sprockets 106. A conveyor belt 107 is driven between the sprockets 106. A feed hopper 103 is detachably installed on one side of the conveyor seat 102, and a discharge hopper 104 is detachably installed on the other side of the conveyor seat 102. A base 101 is provided on the lower surface of the conveyor seat 102.

[0021] like Figure 2 , 4As shown, multiple drive boxes 301 are provided between the base 101 and the conveyor seat 102. The upper side of the drive box 301 is provided with a driven pulley 304 rotatably mounted via a rotating shaft 302. The lower side of the drive box 301 is provided with a driving pulley 305 rotatably mounted via a rotating shaft 303. A transmission belt 306 is provided between the driving pulley 305 and the adjacent driven pulley 304 respectively. The rotating shaft 302 is fixed to the adjacent rotating rod 105 by a coupling.

[0022] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the base 101 has two symmetrically distributed linkage shafts 309 rotatably mounted inside. The linkage shafts 309 are fixed to adjacent rotating shafts 303 via couplings. Worm gears are fixedly mounted on the outer arc surface of each linkage shaft 309. The bottom of the base 101 has two symmetrically distributed U-shaped seats 307 fixedly mounted inside. Worms 308 are rotatably mounted inside each U-shaped seat 307 and are meshed with adjacent worm gears. The bottom of the base 101 has two symmetrically distributed support plates 310 fixedly mounted inside. Linkage rods 311 are rotatably mounted between each support plate 310 and adjacent U-shaped seats 307. Linkage rods 311 are fixed to adjacent worm gears 308 via couplings. A dual-axis motor 312 is mounted between the support plates 310. The output shafts of the dual-axis motor 312 are fixed to the linkage rods 311 via couplings.

[0023] In operation, the dual-axis motor 312 is controlled to run, causing its output shaft to drive the connected linkage rod 311 to rotate. This, in turn, causes the linkage rod 311 to drive the connected worm gear 308 to rotate. The meshing relationship between the worm gear 308 and the worm wheel causes the linkage shaft 309 containing the worm wheel to rotate. This, in turn, causes the linkage shaft 309 to drive the connected rotating shaft 303 to rotate. The rotating shaft 303 then drives the driving pulley 305 mounted on it to rotate. The driving pulley 305, via the transmission belt 306, drives the driven pulley 304 to rotate. This, in turn, causes the driven pulley 304 to drive the connected rotating shaft 302 to rotate. The rotation of the shaft 302 causes the shaft 302 to rotate, which in turn causes the shaft 105 connected to it to rotate. This causes the shaft 105 at both ends to rotate synchronously and in the same direction, thereby quickly and stably driving the conveyor belt 107 to rotate. Driven by the dual-shaft motor 312, through a multi-stage transmission including the worm gear 308, worm wheel, driven pulley 304, and driving pulley 305, the conveyor belt 107 is finally driven to rotate smoothly. This allows the raw materials of Artemisia argyi and Artemisia floss to be automatically and continuously transported from the feed hopper 103 to the drying area and discharged through the discharge hopper 104 after drying. This design realizes continuous operation of feeding, drying, and discharging, which significantly improves production efficiency and reduces manual intervention and labor intensity.

[0024] Control the operation of the hot air blower 202 so that the hot air blower 202 vertically conveys hot air from the upper side of the heating box 201 downwards, thereby quickly and stably drying the mugwort and mugwort floss raw materials sent into the heating box 201 by the conveyor belt 107.

[0025] During the hot air drying process, the output shaft of the servo motor 214 is controlled to rotate in both directions, causing the output shaft of the servo motor 214 to drive the adjusting screw 213 connected to it to rotate in both directions. This, in turn, through the threaded relationship between the adjusting screw 213 and the sliding seat 204, causes the sliding seat 204 to slide linearly back and forth between the guide rails 203. This, in turn, causes the sliding seat 204 to drive the movable seat 206 to move linearly back and forth through the sliding relationship between the sliding cylinder and the sliding rod 205. This, in turn, causes the movable seat 206 to drive the multiple material-aligning rods 207 mounted on its lower side to move linearly back and forth. Movement; During the linear reciprocating movement of the movable seat 206, the movable seat 206 drives the roller 210 to move inside the guide groove 209. Then, through the cooperation of the roller 210 and the guide groove 209 and the action of the return spring 211, the movable seat 206 drives the multiple material rods 207 on its lower side to move up and down during the linear reciprocating movement. This allows for rapid and efficient turning of the mugwort and wormwood raw materials fed into the heating box 201, thereby effectively improving the drying effect of hot air on the mugwort and wormwood raw materials and increasing the drying efficiency of the mugwort and wormwood raw materials.

[0026] The raw mugwort floss to be dried is placed inside the feed hopper 103, so that the raw mugwort floss falls onto the fast and stable rotating conveyor belt 107 through the feed hopper 103. Then, the rotating conveyor belt 107 sends the raw mugwort floss to the bottom of the heating box 201. Multiple material handling rods 207 move up and down repeatedly in a straight line to turn the material. During the turning process, the material is dried by hot air blower 202. After drying, the raw mugwort floss slides out from the discharge hopper 104 to proceed to the next process.

[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
