Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a novel method for manufacturing incense sticks for personal use and the structure of an air permeable drying plate which is a device used in the manufacturing method. This is a method that involves the various steps shown in Figure 2. In other words, the water kneaded raw material obtained by kneading the incense raw material with water is formed into a specific shape (drilling process), and this is fed to a hydraulic extruder. and extrude it downward in the shape of a hoof as a linear object (extrusion process nu). Each of these linear objects is placed in its hoof shape on a wooden tray board and then cut out as a medium-sized raw incense stick of an appropriate length (cutting process or tray cutting process). Next, the medium-sized raw incense sticks are transferred to a wooden drying board so as to maintain the hoof shape described above (
Issuke is a process).

Next, the medium-sized raw incense sticks described in ``2'' are manually cut using a disc cutter along the fixed tree that is placed on the wooden drying board described in 1. Or, during the transportation process on the wooden drying board, each piece is cut into the required length by a rotating blade placed under a constant load (body cutting process). Next, the cut raw incense sticks are dried on the wooden drying board under natural ventilation for about a week (drying process). Depending on the degree of dryness, the pieces are brought together to maintain their adjoining state (board yose process 2), and weighted and pressurized via wooden boards (push board process 2). The product incense sticks obtained in this way are bundled into a predetermined number (bundling process),
It is packaged and made into a product.

The above-mentioned conventional manufacturing method particularly includes operations to deal with the bending that occurs before obtaining the product incense stick in a dry state, for example, operations such as the production process, the board-seating process, and the pressing process. In other words, the drying of the medium-sized raw incense sticks is done by transferring operations in the process, and by placing them next to each other in the itayose process, and the drying of the medium-sized fresh incense sticks is done by pressing with heavy weights in the plate pressing process. Force linearity.

However, personal incense sticks are usually extremely thin wire-shaped objects with a cross-sectional diameter of about 1 inch to 1 inch, and it is difficult for human production to handle a large number of them at once in each process. Because it is required for commercial reasons, it is difficult to prevent and straighten all the bends in the large number of books that are handled at once in the manufacturing process, even with the above-mentioned process operations. This requires many operations, and secondary problems resulting from these operations, such as distortions caused by operations during the pressing plate process, etc., occur.

In addition, the ball tightening process makes it easier to operate the linear object by limiting the length of the extruded linear object during the extrusion process, and also reduces the bending during drying as described in 1. deal with.

Incidentally, such a problem caused by the bending of the product incense sticks is particularly recognized in the bundling process, that is, it becomes a direct cause of breakage when bundling a predetermined number of incense sticks.

In addition, in the conventional manufacturing method, raw incense sticks are processed in the process of cutting the body to obtain the length as a finished incense stick. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, the cut end portion, as shown in FIG. With this method, as shown in FIG. 8, the distortion at the cut end portion is small and the end surface 17 becomes an extremely smooth flat surface in the product incense stick CI, but due to its shape characteristics, it is particularly difficult to light. becomes less effective.

Note that the distortion at the cut ends of the product incense sticks C' and C'' is also a direct cause of breakage during the bundling process, and in addition to the above-mentioned disadvantages, it is a major problem in the automation of the production line. This is the reason for the hindrance.

The present invention eliminates the two drawbacks of conventional manufacturing methods, automates the manufacturing line, shortens manufacturing time and facilitates manufacturing operations, and has excellent ignition effects. The present invention provides a method for producing private incense sticks of excellent quality, and consists of the following steps.

That is, as shown in the τ process flow diagram in Fig. 1, there is an extrusion process opening for extruding the incense material (i) into a linear hoof shape, and an air-permeable drying plate (2) for holding the linear material. Cutting to obtain a long raw incense stick by cutting it to an appropriate length 2. "Cut the long raw incense stick to a suitable length."
1. Drying step 2 to obtain long dried incense sticks by drying on a breathable drying board; Transfer step 4. transferring the long dry incense sticks to a transfer belt; "transport belt"
The process is characterized by comprising: - cutting process to obtain a product incense stick of a required length by turning the product incense sticks, and a bundling process (g) for bundling a predetermined number of product incense sticks.

In the method for manufacturing Buddhist incense sticks according to the present invention having the structural features described in 1., the water paste material A is the same as the water paste material A in the conventional manufacturing method described above, and the aromatic wood powder as a base material is mixed with grass. It is made into a clay-like material by mixing ingredients and kneading it with water.

This water kneaded raw material A is first subjected to an extrusion process, but unlike the extrusion process N, this process involves a continuous screw extruder, etc., which requires a ball tightening process, which is the preceding process. The water kneaded raw material A can be continuously extruded by hanging it as a linear object from the hole in the specific mold using the mold. At this time, the linear objects are arranged in rows in a hoof shape.

Next, each hoof-shaped linear object is subjected to a cutting process /S, and the air permeable drying plate used in this cutting process is a tray for receiving each of the linear objects, as will be described later. As a board, and as a cutting table for each of the linear objects listed in 1.
Moreover, it has a structural feature that functions as a dryer for evenly drying the raw incense sticks placed on it, and is the appliance for producing incense sticks for personal use according to the present invention.

That is, the air-permeable drying plate according to the present invention is provided by stretching a breathable fabric to form a flat surface on a frame body, and having blade holders on mutually opposing frame sides of the frame body. ] - provided to form a base surface along the plane of the fabric shape, and further provided with an appropriate number of corner blocks on the frame body to support the frame body along an arbitrary plane. Features a composition.

``-- With regard to the structural features described above, the functions and effects of function ``2'' of the above-mentioned tray board, etc. are exhibited.Next, the breathable drying plate according to the present invention will be explained based on the embodiment shown in the drawings. As shown in the exploded plan view in FIG. 3, in the breathable drying plate 1 according to the embodiment, the frame body 3 forming the skeleton has two pieces arranged parallel to each other so as to have a rectangular shape. a support pipe 4, and disposed on the left and right end sides of each support pipe 4, respectively,
It consists of two support frame parts 5 having screw shafts 7, which are to be simultaneously fitted into respective end holes at each left end or right end of each of the support pipes 4, fixed to both end surfaces, respectively. In addition,
The supporting frame portion 5 is bent such that both end portions of the rod shape are in the same direction, and each of the two end portions has a screw shaft 7 hanging therefrom. A tension adjustment nut 6 is screwed into each of the holes.

Further, as the cloth 2, a coarse cloth, a wire mesh, etc. can be used, which is cut into a rectangular shape, and the opposing short edges are sewn together to form a ring shape.

A frame body 6 is inserted into the annular shape of the fabric 2, and the fabric 2 is locked to each support frame 5'' in a wound manner, and each tension adjustment nut 6 is As shown at 6', the fabric 2 forms a flat surface on the frame 6' by rotating the support pipes 4 in the direction of the corresponding ends of the screw shafts 7 while in contact with each other. and upholstered.

Further, the fabric 2 is stretched along the support frame 5 of the frame body so as to cover the latched fabric 2 portion.
The blade stand 8 is made of a thin stainless steel plate and has a U-shaped cross section.
As shown at 8', the base surfaces are fitted along the plane of the fabric 2, respectively.

Furthermore, as shown in the figure, the corner block 9 formed with four clamping parts made of an elastic material has a frame member that clamps the fabric 2 (near the edges) through the four clamping parts. 2, respectively, in the vicinity of each corner of 3.

FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of the breathable drying plate 1 thus constructed.

In the air permeability 11 drying plate 1, a fabric-like frame 3''-
Regarding the maintenance of the tensioned and locked state, it is further strengthened not only by the above-mentioned tensioning function of the frame 6 but also by the clamping function of each blade receiver holder 8 and each corner block 9. Thus, the flat surface formed by the fabric 2 remains extremely strong, and the air permeable drying plate 1 effectively maintains the air permeability of the fabric 2.

Due to the above-mentioned structural features, the air permeable drying plate 1 can fully perform the functions as the above-mentioned tray plate, cutting table, and dryer. In addition, the air permeable drying board 1 is particularly advantageous because of its air permeability, which prevents the growth of mold, etc. due to the adhesion of raw incense sticks, unlike the wooden drying board used in the conventional method, and is relatively lightweight. However, since the fabric 2 can be easily attached to and removed from the frame 3 as described above, the fabric 2 itself can be washed independently in a washing machine or the like. It is also possible to do so, and its maintenance and management are extremely easy.

Next, in the above-described method (a) for manufacturing incense sticks for private use according to the present invention, when the breathable drying plate 1 having the above-described functional characteristics is applied to the cutting process (c), as shown in FIG. While holding each of the hoof-shaped linear objects A along the longitudinal direction on two planes of fabric, cut out both ends of the object with a cutting blade 1.
0 by pressing each one against the 8 faces of the blade stand,
For example, cut out a 1m long incense stick.

Next, each of the long raw incense sticks is dried while cut out and placed on the air-permeable drying plate 1 (drying step 2).

In this drying step 2, a large number of air-permeable drying plates 1, for example 20 or more pieces, on which 80 to 100 elongated incense sticks A are placed, are stacked so as to be in contact with each other at their corner blocks 9. Therefore, the installation surface of the drying room can be used effectively. In this case, a ventilation gap of, for example, 60 spaces can be obtained between each of the stacked ventilation drying plates.

In the drying process for elongated incense sticks in this form, the air permeability of the air-permeable drying plate 1 is dependent on the effect of the above-mentioned gap space and the air permeability of the elongated incense sticks on which it is placed. The function is to allow moisture to evaporate evenly and quickly over the entire surrounding area. Regarding the above functions based on air permeability, the best results could be obtained when the open area ratio of the fabric 2 on the air permeable drying plate 1 was 50 to 60%.

is maintained as it is, and the processing time is extremely shortened to 1.5 to 3 days, compared to about 1 week in the conventional production method.

In addition, due to the functional characteristics of the breathable drying plate 1 described in 1., namely its ability to maintain linearity, in the drying step 2, not only ventilation natural drying at room temperature F but also forced drying using a drying device is applied. Furthermore, it becomes possible to use incense sticks as long as about 1 m as described above, and both contribute to increasing the production efficiency.

As described above, in the drying step 2 of the present invention, there is no need for complicated operations such as forced operations using heavy punishment as in the drying step 1 of the conventional manufacturing method described above, and the drying process It does not require any operations that require a lot of skill. Therefore, the above-mentioned distortions associated with these operations do not occur.

Next, the long dried incense stick B obtained in the above drying step 2,
It is transferred onto the surface of the transfer belt 12 so that its longitudinal direction is perpendicular to the transfer direction (transfer step e).

In addition, since the operation in this transfer process E is particularly applicable to the product after drying, the production of the conventional manufacturing method is easier compared to the operation in the process process, etc., and the transfer operation is Enables automation.

Next, the long dried incense stick B that is in the process of being transferred is cut into a required length by turning (to the body cutting process), and thus a product incense stick C is obtained. During the process described above, mawashi-cutting refers to the process in which the wire material to be processed turns around on the mounting surface along its circumference, and the cutting edge of the cutter knife is gradually inserted from the outer surface of the wire material at key points of the wire material to be processed. It refers to a means for cutting the wire by extending it in the axial direction, and makes it possible to cut the wire without causing breakage or the like at parts other than key points on the wire to be processed. An embodiment of the turning means for this process is shown in FIG. I-6, that is, the 12th side of the transfer belt, on one side,
The cutter knife 11 is fixedly installed so that the tip of the knife is in the direction of movement of the conveyor, and the cutting edge gradually becomes lower along the direction of movement. The long dry incense stick B is moved in the traveling direction 1 on the transfer belt 12 surface.
8, but as it is further transported, as shown in FIG. 5 (11), the long dry incense stick B collides with the cutting edge of the cutter knife 11 at its lower peripheral wall portion, causing a portion to break. is cut into. At this time, this long dry incense stick B is
Although its advance is stopped by the collided lower circumferential wall portion, the lower circumferential wall portion is still in contact with the transfer belt 12 surface and is in a progressing state, so if the advance continues further, the cut portion will be used as a fulcrum. It is rotated along arrow 19 as follows. According to this rotation, the cut at the collision part continues to extend around the long dry incense stick B and becomes deeper in the axial direction, and is finally broken at the central shaft part including the shaft core (the fifth
Figure (+++l), a product incense stick C of a predetermined length is obtained. In addition, a is a cut-off part by the said cut, b is a break-off part by the said break, and 13 is a cut piece.

The operation in the body cutting step described in 1. is possible due to the linearity of the long dried incense stick B that is the object of processing, and enables rapid processing. Also, in terms of the equipment configuration, as judged from the processing details described above, it is possible to employ a cutter knife 11 or the like having a small and simple configuration.

” 1. The above product incense stick C obtained by the body cutting process
As shown in FIG. 6, the cut end surface is formed by a separation part a and a breaking part, but in the breaking part, the raw fiber becomes uneven as a result of breaking. It has an exposed shape, and this shape makes it extremely effective in igniting.

Next, the product incense stick C obtained above is transported in the form after the body cutting by a transport belt 2 and collected at a predetermined place. Thereafter, the product incense sticks C are manually or mechanically bound in fixed numbers using paper tape or the like, or are housed in a container (binding process t), packaged, and manufactured into a product. During this bundling operation, the product incense stick C still maintains its straightness, and there are no obstacles such as protrusions at the cut end, so there is no possibility of breakage or the like as in the conventional manufacturing method. No adverse effects occur, and this contributes to full automation of the production line.

Example A water-kneaded raw material made by mixing aromatic wood flour with grass components and kneading it with water to form a clay-like material was pumped through the mold hole by a continuous screw extruder for about 2 hours.
．． 86 wires with a diameter of 3 mm were extruded into a door shape, and these wires were heated to 0.5 X O, 5rr by hand.
Using m-th cotton gauze, the length is 100ON and the width is 300m.
The parallel state was maintained on the air-permeable drying plate having the configuration shown in FIG.
It was cut out as a long raw incense stick of 00 length.

Next, each of the long raw incense sticks was dried on 20 air-permeable drying plates stacked with a gap of 5 cm between each plate, taking two days to dry naturally. did.

Next, the long dried incense sticks obtained in this way are sequentially transferred and transferred manually, and seven cutter knives 11 having the configuration shown in FIG. 5 are placed in parallel at predetermined positions on this transfer line. One long dry incense stick B was cut at 7 places at a time by means of (1) to (fill) shown in FIG.
Six n-length product incense sticks C were obtained.

Next, each of these product incense sticks C was transported by the above-mentioned transport belt and collected at a predetermined position, and then, they were manually bound using paper tape to be manufactured into a product. In addition, at this time, there were no adverse effects such as breakage of the product incense sticks.
