It is preferable that the cutting blade 37 is attached obliquely to cut the final end of the incense stick B obliquely.

Reference numeral 38 is an opening of the machine base 5, and 39 is an opening 3
8 is a guide roller for the incense stick A which is rotatably supported by 8

According to the manufacturing apparatus of the present invention, the tip of the undried linear incense stick A produced by the extrusion molding apparatus using the kneading raw material for incense sticks is placed at the incense gripping position X of the incense stick transfer means 1 and the incense stick at that position. Open the grip 2 of the transfer means 1,
The grip 2 is closed at a position where it is lowered by the elevating means 20 to grasp the tip a of the incense stick A, the incense stick A is grasped, and the advancing / retreating means 16 carries it to the center of the rotary table 4, and the tip a of the incense stick A is moved to the rotation pin 6. Placed at an eccentric position around the protruding shaft 12, the rotating pin 6 is lowered by the elevating means 7 and the tip surface a of the incense stick A placed at the eccentric position is pressed by the pressing surface 13 to rotate the protruding shaft 12 of the rotating pin 6. After fitting and contacting with the through hole 11 of the table 4, the grip 2 of the incense stick transfer means 1 is opened to release the incense stick A, and the grip 2 is returned to the original incense gripping position X.

The disc 8 for removing incense sticks is lowered by an elevating means 9 such as an air cylinder to stop and hold the disc 8 near the upper surface of the incense stick A. In this state, when the rotary table 4 is rotated by the driving means, the rotary pin 6 is rotated. Co-rotate to wind the incense stick A around the protruding shaft 12 in a spiral manner. The disk 8 prevents the spiral from rising up when the incense is wound on the spiral, and the spiral can be neatly wound between the rotary table and the disk 8.

After winding the spiral incense B, the rotary table is stopped, and the grip 2 descends at the incense stick gripping position X to move the incense stick B.
Immediately after the final portion b of the incense stick, that is, the tip portion a of the succeeding incense stick is grasped, and the cutting device 10 descends to the final portion b of the spiral incense stick B to cut and separate from the succeeding incense stick A and rotate the rotary table again. Then, the cut-off final part b is formed along the spiral by the correction plate 32 attached to the disk 8 to form the spiral incense B. Incense stick B
The reason why the tip end a of the succeeding incense stick is gripped with a grip during cutting is to prevent the incense stick to the cutting blade from being lifted up and also to prepare for the transfer of the next incense stick.

After the spiral forming, when the rotary pin and the disk are lifted, only the rotary pin 6 is lifted while leaving the disk 8 as it is, and when the center of the rotary pin 6 and the spiral incense B are adhered, the disk 8 is moved. The spiral incense B is prevented from being lifted and peeled off from the pressing surface 13 of the rotary pin 6. Then, the disk 8 is raised and the spiral incense B is taken out from the rotary table 4.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION According to the spiral incense automatic manufacturing apparatus of the present invention, the undried linear incense prepared with the incense kneading raw material is automatically conveyed to the spiral incense molding apparatus by the incense transfer means.
Since it can be automatically spiral-formed on the rotary table with a rotary pin and a disk, the automation can significantly improve the production capacity, mass production is possible, and even an inexperienced person can easily manufacture a uniform product. It can be provided at low cost.

According to the spiral incense forming apparatus of the present invention, the through hole of the rotary table and the protruding shaft of the rotary pin are fitted to each other, and the tip of the rotary pin is pressed against the tip of the incense stick to rotate the disc on its upper surface. When the table is rotated, the rotary pin rotates together, and the incense stick can be automatically wound in a spiral around the protruding axis of the rotary pin to form a spiral incense stick. Further, if the incense sticks to the rotary pin, it can be peeled off by pulling up the rotary pin with the disk as it is after molding, and then the disk can be raised to take out the spiral incense easily.
