Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rehabilitation equipment technology, specifically to a drawer loading and unloading device for an automatic moxibustion device. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of rehabilitation equipment, automatic moxibustion devices, as a common device used for moxibustion therapy, provide convenience for people's health and physiotherapy. Automatic moxibustion devices typically have drawers for storing moxa sticks and other items, facilitating user operations such as changing moxa sticks. However, traditional drawer loading and unloading methods for automatic moxibustion devices have several problems. Traditional drawer loading and unloading methods often require users to perform relatively complex manual operations, such as manual unlocking and positioning, which is not simple enough, increasing the difficulty of use and reducing the user experience. Especially in some cases, due to user unfamiliarity with the operation or improper force, the drawer may not load or unload smoothly, resulting in jamming or loosening, affecting the normal use of the automatic moxibustion device. Therefore, developing a drawer loading and unloading device for automatic moxibustion devices that enables reliable loading and unloading and is easy to operate is of significant practical importance. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the issue that traditional automatic moxibustion devices require complex manual operations for drawer loading and unloading, such as manual unlocking and positioning, which is inconvenient, increases the difficulty of use, and reduces the user experience, this invention proposes a drawer loading and unloading device for automatic moxibustion devices. Utilizing the power of the automatic moxibustion device's robotic arm, combined with the unique characteristics of magnetic contacts, the movement conversion of the V-shaped linkage, and the cooperation of the top rod and other components, reliable drawer loading and unloading is achieved. During the drawer loading and unloading process, the movement state of the V-shaped linkage is controlled by switching the magnetic contact's position, thereby restricting or releasing the top rod to lock or unlock the drawer, improving the user experience of using the automatic moxibustion device.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A drawer loading and unloading device for an automatic moxibustion device includes a base, which is fixedly connected to the robotic arm of the automatic moxibustion device via a connecting hole. The base has a magnetic contact and a top rod arranged in the same direction. A connecting seat is located at the front end of the guide rod of the magnetic contact. A pair of V-shaped connecting rods are hinged to the connecting seat via a pin. The V-shaped connecting rods are rotatably mounted on the base and include an integrally formed long rod and a short rod. An elongated hole is formed on the long rod, and the pin is slidably disposed within the elongated hole. A bracket is provided on the base, and a rectangular hole is formed on the bracket. The top rod is placed in the rectangular hole and slides along it, and the top rod is connected to the drawer body. The base serves as the basic support component of the entire device and is fixedly connected to the robotic arm of the automatic moxibustion device via the connecting hole. When the robotic arm moves, it drives the base to move, providing basic power for loading and unloading the drawer. The magnetic contact has a unique two-position characteristic: an extended position and an internal position, which can switch between positions after a pushing force is applied. When the magnetic contact guide rod extends, it pushes the connecting seat and the pin forward. Pin one slides within the elongated hole one on the long rod of the V-shaped connecting rod. Due to the force, the V-shaped connecting rod is driven to rotate around pin two. This rotation of the V-shaped connecting rod is the key motion conversion link for the entire device to realize the drawer loading and unloading function.
[0005] Furthermore, a support rod is also provided on the base, and the turning point of the V-shaped connecting rod is hinged to the top of the support rod via a pin. The support rod provides a stable support point for the V-shaped connecting rod, enabling it to maintain the correct posture and trajectory during rotation.
[0006] Furthermore, the push rod includes a connecting part and a main body push rod vertically disposed in the center of the connecting part, with a notch at one end of the connecting part. The purpose of providing the notch is to avoid interference between the push rod and the long rod of the V-shaped connecting rod during the movement of the device.
[0007] Furthermore, a support block is also provided on the base, and the lower surface of the main body of the push rod contacts the upper surface of the support block. The support block provides support for the push rod, ensuring the sliding stability of the push rod.
[0008] Furthermore, a buffer assembly is provided between the magnetic contact and the base. The buffer assembly consists of two sets, each including two supports. The two supports are parallel and spaced apart, and vertically mounted on the base. A guide rail is provided between each support, and a slider is slidably mounted on the guide rail. The magnetic contact is fixedly connected to the slider. A spring is sleeved on the guide rail, with its two ends contacting the slider and one of the supports, respectively. When the push rod impacts the magnetic contact, the slider slides along the guide rail, compressing the spring. The spring's elastic deformation absorbs and releases energy, providing a travel margin for the push rod and magnetic contact, thus reducing equipment damage.
[0009] Furthermore, the connecting part is connected to the drawer body by bolts, and the main body has two elongated holes.
[0010] Furthermore, the short rod slides into the elongated hole two. The rotational motion of the V-shaped connecting rod is converted into the linear displacement of the push rod through the engagement of the short rod with the elongated hole two of the push rod.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model through the above technical solution are as follows: This invention proposes a drawer loading and unloading device for an automatic moxibustion device. Utilizing the power of the device's robotic arm, combined with the unique characteristics of a magnetic contact, the motion conversion of a V-shaped connecting rod, and the close cooperation between the top rod and other components, it successfully achieves reliable drawer loading and unloading. During the drawer loading and unloading process, the magnetic contact's position switching plays a crucial control role. When the drawer needs to be removed, the robotic arm moves the base, and the magnetic contact, pushed by the top rod, switches positions, causing the connecting seat and pin one to move. This, in turn, drives the V-shaped connecting rod to rotate around pin two. Its short rod slides along the elongated hole two on the main body of the top rod, locking the top rod and allowing the drawer to be pulled out smoothly. When installing the drawer, pushing the drawer moves the top rod, which then presses against the magnetic contact's position, causing it to switch again. The V-shaped connecting rod rotates in the opposite direction, the short rod disengages from the top rod's lock, and the top rod can continue to move, allowing the drawer to be installed in place. This design makes the drawer loading and unloading process simple, and the tight fit of each component ensures the stability of loading and unloading, avoiding problems such as jamming and loosening that may occur with traditional loading and unloading methods, thus improving the user experience of using the automatic moxibustion device.
[0012] This invention incorporates two sets of buffer components between the magnetic contact and the base. Each buffer component includes two parallel, spaced-apart supports vertically mounted on the base, a guide rail positioned between the two supports, a slider slidably mounted on the guide rail, and a spring sleeved on the guide rail with its two ends in contact with the slider and one of the supports, respectively. The magnetic contact is fixedly connected to the slider. During the entire drawer loading and unloading process, an impact force is generated when the push rod collides with the magnetic contact. At this point, the buffer components function. Under impact, the slider slides on the guide rail and compresses the spring. The spring undergoes elastic deformation to absorb and release energy, providing travel margin for the push rod and magnetic contact. This design effectively reduces damage to the device caused by impact forces, avoids component damage and deformation due to excessive impact forces, ensures the stability and durability of the device, thereby extending the service life of the entire automatic moxibustion device, reducing maintenance costs and replacement frequency, and saving users operating costs.

[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments: like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a drawer loading and unloading device for an automatic moxibustion device, including a base 1. The base 1 is fixedly connected to the mechanical arm of the automatic moxibustion device through a connecting hole. A magnetic contact 2 and a top rod 3 arranged in the same direction are provided on the base 1. A connecting seat 4 is provided at the front end of the guide rod of the magnetic contact 2. A pair of V-shaped connecting rods 6 are hinged to the connecting seat 4 through a pin 5. The V-shaped connecting rods 6 are rotatably mounted on the base 1. The V-shaped connecting rods 6 include a long rod 601 and a short rod 602 integrally formed. An elongated hole 7 is opened on the long rod 601. The pin 5 is slidably disposed in the elongated hole 7. A bracket 8 is provided on the base 1. A rectangular hole 9 is opened on the bracket 8. The top rod 3 is placed in the rectangular hole 9 and slides along it. One end of the top rod 3 is in contact with the connecting seat 4 and the other end is connected to the drawer body 10.
[0016] In this invention, the base 1 serves as the fundamental support component of the entire device, and is fixedly connected to the robotic arm of the automatic moxibustion device via a connecting hole. When the robotic arm moves, it drives the base 1 to move, providing the basic power for loading and unloading the drawer, enabling the device to achieve coordinated movement with the entire system through the mechanical structure of the automatic moxibustion device. The magnetic contact 2 has a unique two-position characteristic: an extended position and an internal position. After applying a pushing force to the desired position, it can switch between positions, with a stroke difference of 11mm between the two positions. Each position also has the characteristic of withstanding tensile force. When the magnetic contact 2 guide rod extends, it pushes the connecting seat 4 and the pin 5 forward. The pin 5 slides within the elongated hole 7 on the long rod 601 of the V-shaped connecting rod 6. Due to the force, the V-shaped connecting rod 6 is driven to rotate around the pin 12. This rotation of the V-shaped connecting rod 6 is the key motion conversion link for the entire device to achieve the drawer loading and unloading function.
[0017] In this embodiment, a support rod 11 is also provided on the base 1, and the turning point of the V-shaped connecting rod 6 is hinged to the top of the support rod 11 via a second pin 12. The support rod 11 provides a stable support point for the V-shaped connecting rod 6, so that the V-shaped connecting rod 6 maintains the correct posture and motion trajectory during rotation.
[0018] The top rod 3 includes a connecting part 301 and a main body part 302 vertically disposed in the center of the connecting part 301. A notch 13 is provided at one end of the connecting part 301 of the top rod 3. The purpose of providing the notch 13 is to avoid interference between the long rod 601 of the V-shaped connecting rod 6 and the top rod 3 and the long rod 601 during the movement of the device, so as to ensure that all components of the device can move normally.
[0019] In this embodiment, a support block 14 is also provided on the base 1, and the lower surface of the main body 302 of the push rod 3 is in contact with the upper surface of the support block 14. The support block 14 provides support for the push rod 3, ensuring the sliding stability of the push rod 3.
[0020] In this embodiment, a buffer assembly is provided between the magnetic contact 2 and the base 1. The buffer assembly consists of two sets, each including two supports 15. The two supports 15 are parallel and spaced apart, and vertically mounted on the base 1. A guide rail 16 is provided between each of the two supports 15. A slider 17 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 16, and the magnetic contact 2 is fixedly connected to the slider 17. A spring 18 is sleeved on the guide rail 16, with both ends of the spring 18 contacting the slider 17 and one of the supports 15, respectively. When the push rod 3 impacts the magnetic contact 2, generating an impact force, the slider 17 slides along the guide rail 16, compressing the spring 18. The spring 18 elastically deforms, absorbing and releasing energy, providing a stroke margin for the push rod 3 and the magnetic contact 2, thus reducing equipment damage.
[0021] Specifically, please refer to again Figure 6The connecting part 301 is connected to the drawer body 10 by bolts 19, and the main body 302 is provided with an elongated hole 20.
[0022] In this embodiment, the short rod 602 is slidably engaged with the elongated hole 20. The rotational motion of the V-shaped connecting rod 6 is converted into the linear displacement of the top rod 3 through the engagement of the short rod 602 with the elongated hole 20.
[0023] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Drawer removal procedure When the drawer body 10 of the automatic moxibustion device needs to be disassembled, the robotic arm moves the base 1 toward the moxibustion head 21, and the magnetic contact 2 is continuously pushed by the push rod 3. After the push rod 3 reaches its position, the magnetic contact 2 begins to switch gears, from the extended gear to the internal gear; during this process, the magnetic contact 2 pushes the connecting seat 4 and the pin 5 forward. The pin 5 slides in the elongated hole 7 on the long rod 601 of the V-shaped connecting rod 6, and due to the force, drives the V-shaped connecting rod 6 to rotate around the second pin 12. As the V-shaped connecting rod 6 rotates, its short rod 602 slides along the elongated hole 20 on the main body 302 of the push rod 3 until the push rod 3 is locked in the current position. At this time, the push rod 3 cannot move freely; after the push rod 3 is locked by the connecting rod, the moxibustion head 21 is pulled; because the push rod 3 remains in a relatively fixed position under the locking action of the connecting rod, the drawer body 10 can finally be smoothly pulled out from the moxibustion head 21.
[0024] Drawer installation workflow After replacing the moxa stick, the drawer body 10 containing the moxa stick is realigned with the entrance of the moxibustion head 21. Then, the drawer body 10 is pushed into the moxibustion head 21 by the robotic arm, and the drawer body 10 moves the push rod 3 synchronously. After the drawer body 10 is installed in place, the magnetic contact 2 begins to be pushed by the push rod 3, and then prepares to switch gears. As the push rod 3 continues to apply thrust, the magnetic contact 2 switches from the internal position to the extended position. When the magnetic contact 2 switches to the extended position, the V-shaped connecting rod 6 rotates in the opposite direction around the second pin 12, and the short rod 602 slides in the elongated hole 20 on the main body 302 of the push rod 3. As the V-shaped connecting rod 6 rotates, the short rod 602 gradually disengages from the locked state of the push rod 3, allowing the push rod 3 to regain the ability to move freely, that is, the V-shaped connecting rod 6 switches to the open state. When the V-shaped connecting rod 6 switches to the open state, the push rod 3 is no longer restricted by the V-shaped connecting rod 6, the entire device returns to the initial stable state, and the magnetic contact 2 is in the extended position, ready for the next disassembly operation.
[0025] During the entire drawer loading and unloading process, an impact force is generated when the top rod 3 collides with the magnetic contact 2. At this time, the two sets of buffer components set between the magnetic contact 2 and the base 1 come into play. The two supports 15 of each set of buffer components are distributed in parallel and perpendicularly set on the base 1. The guide rail 16 is set between the two supports 15. The slider 17 slides on the guide rail 16 and the magnetic contact 2 is fixedly connected to the slider 17. The two ends of the spring 18 sleeved on the guide rail 16 are in contact with the slider 17 and one of the supports 15, respectively. When subjected to impact force, the slider 17 slides on the guide rail 16 and compresses the spring 18. The spring 18 undergoes elastic deformation to absorb and release energy, leaving a stroke margin for the top rod 3 and the magnetic contact 2, reducing the damage to the equipment caused by impact force, and ensuring the stability and durability of the device.

Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the patent claims of this utility model should be included within the scope of the patent application of this utility model.
