DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0019] The following description includes the preferred best mode of one embodiment of the present invention. It will be clear from this description of the invention that the invention is not limited to these illustrated embodiments but that the invention also includes a variety of modifications and embodiments thereto. Therefore, the present description should be seen as illustrative and not limiting.

[0020] In any embodiment described herein, the open-ended terms "comprising," "comprises,” and the like (which are synonymous with "including," "having” and "characterized by") may be replaced by the respective partially closed phrases "consisting essentially of," consists essentially of," and the like or the respective closed phrases "consisting of," "consists of, the like.

[0021] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0022] The present invention relates to an eco-friendly material-based incense production device that is capable of converting biodegradable raw materials into finished incense sticks. In addition, the device also enables sustainable production with consistent quality, reduced manual intervention, optimized resource utilization, and enhanced operational efficiency suitable for continuous and small-scale industrial applications.

[0023] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of an eco-friendly material-based incense production device is illustrated, comprising a hollow cuboidal structure 101 comprising multiple chambers 102 fitted with a sliding door 103, a conduit 104 installed at an outlet of each of the chamber 102, a motorised rotating shaft 105 with sharp blending blades 106 mounted centrally inside a grinding container 107, a water tank 108 integrated with multiple nozzle 109 installed in the container 107, multiple horizontally oriented L-shaped rods 110 with mixing paddles 111 mounted on a circular slider 112 installed within the grinding container 107.

[0024] Figure 1 further illustrates an expandable conduit 113 integrated with a valve 114 provided at outlet of the grinding container 107, multiple conical-shaped mould 115 mounted on a motorised circular disc 116 positioned below the grinding container 107, a pneumatic pressing plate 117 mounted on a motorized slider 118 connected via an extendable rod 119 using a ball-and-socket joint 120 installed in the structure 101, multiple paralleled extendable links 121 tipped with C-shaped gripper 122 attached to a plate 123, the plate 123 mounted at end-effector of a six-bar linkage 124 installed in the structure 101, a display panel 125 installed on the structure 101.

[0025] The device disclosed herein comprises a hollow cuboidal structure 101. The structure 101 forms the primary load-bearing housing of the device and is designed as a rigid, enclosed framework to support and align multiple functional zones. In an embodiment of the present intention, the hollow cuboidal structure 101 is preferably fabricated from corrosion-resistant, eco-friendly metal alloys or reinforced biodegradable composites, providing mechanical stability, vibration damping, thermal insulation, and long-term durability suitable for continuous industrial operation.

[0026] The hollow cuboidal structure 101 comprises multiple chambers 102 to store ingredients for manufacturing incense sticks. The multiple chambers 102 are configured as discrete, enclosed storage compartments formed within the structure 101, each designed to temporarily hold a predefined quantity of raw material. The chambers 102 are geometrically shaped to promote uniform material settlement and uninterrupted discharge. Their internal surfaces are smooth and non-reactive to prevent material adhesion, contamination, or degradation during prolonged storage and operation.

[0027] Each chamber 102 is fitted with a sliding door 103 for refilling corresponding ingredient in respective chamber 102. The sliding door 103 operates as a linear sealing element positioned at the access interface of each chamber 102. When actuated by a processing unit associated with the device, a controlled electromechanical actuator displaces the door 103 along a guided track between closed and open positions. The processing unit synchronizes the motion based on operational requirements, ensuring precise timing and stroke length. During closure, the door 103 forms a tight seal to prevent leakage, while during opening it enables controlled material release without abrupt flow disturbances.

[0028] Further, a pump and a conduit 104 installed at outlet of each of the chamber 102 to deliver a pre-defined quantity of ingredients. The conduit 104 serves as a controlled material transfer pathway between storage and downstream processing stages. The conduit 104 is designed with a uniform cross-section and smooth internal lining to minimize frictional losses and material clogging. The conduit 104 ensures directed, contamination-free movement of dispensed material while maintaining consistent flow characteristics during device operation.

[0029] An ultrasonic flow sensor is integrated into each conduit 104 to monitor the transfer rate and upon detecting any uneven or abnormal flow through the conduit 104, the processing unit dynamically adjusts the pump operation to ensure uniform and controlled material transfer. The ultrasonic flow sensor operates by transmitting high-frequency ultrasonic waves across the conduit 104 through paired transducers. As material flows, the processing unit measures the difference in transit time of ultrasonic signals traveling with and against the flow direction. These time variations are converted into precise flow-rate data. The processing unit continuously analyses this data to detect irregularities and dynamically regulate upstream actuation, ensuring uniform and controlled material transfer.

[0030] The pump functions as an electrically driven material displacement unit controlled by the processing unit. Upon activation, the pump’s internal diaphragm generates a pressure differential that draws material from the chamber 102 outlet and propels it through the conduit 104. The processing unit regulates pump speed, duty cycle, and operational duration to dispense predefined quantities accurately, while maintaining steady flow and preventing pulsation, backflow, or excessive pressure buildup.

[0031] The ingredients include kitchen biodegradable waste, animal waste (cow dung), herbal extracts and fragrances like sandalwood powder, dried orange powder, rose petal powder, vetiver and hibiscus powders. Further, a weight sensor is integrated into the base of each chamber 102 to monitor the quantity of stored ingredients. The weight sensor operates on a load-sensing principle, wherein applied mass induces mechanical deformation within a sensing element, typically a strain-responsive structure 101. This deformation produces proportional electrical signals that are transmitted to the processing unit. The processing unit interprets these signals to compute real-time material weight within the chamber 102, enabling continuous monitoring, inventory estimation, and precise control of dispensing operations without manual intervention.

[0032] A grinding arrangement is installed in the structure 101, includes a motorised rotating shaft 105 with sharp blending blades 106 mounted centrally inside a grinding container 107 to grind the dispensed ingredients. The motorised rotating shaft 105 functions as the primary grinding element and is driven by an electrically actuated motor under control of the processing unit. Upon activation, the shaft 105 rotates at a regulated speed, causing the sharp blending blades 106 mounted thereon to exert shear, impact, and cutting forces on the dispensed materials. The processing unit dynamically adjusts rotational parameters based on material resistance, ensuring uniform particle size reduction while preventing mechanical overload and excessive heat generation.

[0033] The grinding container 107 is configured as a rigid, enclosed receptacle that houses the rotating shaft 105 and the blending blades 106. The container 107 is fabricated from abrasion-resistant and non-reactive material to withstand repeated grinding cycles. The container 107 geometry promotes circular material circulation, preventing dead zones and ensuring efficient grinding, while also containing debris and minimizing material loss during operation.

[0034] A torque sensor is integrated with the shaft 105 to monitor material resistance and upon detection of increased resistance, the motor speed is adjusted dynamically for uniform grinding and prevent overload. The torque sensor operates by detecting torsional strain induced on the shaft 105 during grinding. As material resistance varies, corresponding mechanical deformation occurs within the sensing element, generating proportional electrical signals. These signals are transmitted to the processing unit, which continuously analyses torque variations to assess load conditions. Upon detecting excessive resistance, the processing unit dynamically modifies motor speed or duty cycle to maintain optimal grinding efficiency and protect mechanical components.

[0035] Before and during mixing, the processing unit employing AI (artificial intelligence) protocols analyse the material conditions, and then dispenses the precise amount of water needed to achieve optimal consistency. The water is delivered by a mixing arrangement which includes a water tank 108 with chrome heating wire. The water tank 108 serves as a controlled reservoir for storing and supplying water required during mixing. The tank 108 is formed from thermally stable and corrosion-resistant material to accommodate heated water. The tank 108 is structurally integrated to maintain consistent pressure and temperature conditions, enabling reliable dispensing of water during the mixture formation stage under control of the processing unit.

[0036] The chrome heating wire functions as a resistive heating element embedded within the water tank 108. When energized under instructions from the processing unit, electrical current passing through the wire generates heat due to electrical resistance. This heat is transferred uniformly to the surrounding water, raising its temperature to a predefined level. The processing unit regulates power supply duration and intensity to maintain stable heating while preventing overheating or energy inefficiency.

[0037] The tank 108 integrated with multiple nozzles 109 is provided inside the container 107 to dispense the heated water for forming a uniform mixture. The multiple nozzles 109 operate as calibrated outlet passages for dispensing heated water from the tank 108. Each nozzle 109 is dimensioned to control flow rate and dispersion pattern. When activated by the processing unit, water is released simultaneously or selectively through the nozzles 109, ensuring uniform distribution across the material mixture. This controlled dispersion minimizes localized saturation and supports consistent hydration of the mixture during the mixing process.

[0038] A stirring arrangement is installed in the container 107, includes multiple horizontally oriented L-shaped rods 110 fitted with mixing paddles 111 mounted on a circular slider 112 to evenly stir the mixture. The horizontally oriented L-shaped rods 110 are mounted to support mixing paddles 111 and function as mechanical agitators. When actuated, the rods 110 rotate or translate in a coordinated manner, causing the paddles 111 to sweep through the mixture. This motion generates multi-directional shear forces that break agglomerates and evenly distribute moisture. The processing unit synchronizes rod 110 movement to ensure homogeneous mixing without excessive stress on the mixture.

[0039] The circular slider 112 operates as a guided rotational means for the L-shaped rods 110. Driven by a motor under control of the processing unit, the slider 112 enables uniform circumferential movement of the attached rods 110. This controlled motion ensures consistent coverage of the mixture volume, eliminates stagnant regions, and allows adaptive stirring intensity based on feedback received from material condition monitoring.

[0040] An integrated viscosity sensor is configured in the container 107 to monitor consistency of the prepared mixture and upon detection of inconsistency, the slider 112 is activated to stir the mixture evenly by employing the paddles 111. The viscosity sensor operates by detecting resistance encountered during interaction with the mixture. Variations in flow or mechanical impedance are converted into corresponding electrical signals, which are transmitted to the processing unit. The processing unit interprets these signals to determine mixture consistency in real time. Upon detecting deviations from predefined viscosity thresholds, corrective stirring or water dispensing actions are automatically initiated to restore uniformity.

[0041] Further, an expandable conduit 113 is integrated with a valve 114 is provided at outlet of the grinding container 107 to transfer the mixture for further processing. The expandable conduit 113 functions as a flexible transfer channel whose length or orientation is adjustable under control of the processing unit. During operation, the conduit 113 expands or contracts to position its outlet accurately above target locations. This adaptability ensures precise and controlled transfer of the prepared mixture while minimizing spillage, material wastage, and misalignment during downstream processing.

[0042] The valve 114 operates as a flow-regulating unit integrated within the expandable conduit 113. When actuated by the processing unit, an internal movable element transitions between open, partially open, and closed positions. This movement controls the start, stop, and rate of mixture flow. The processing unit modulates valve 114 position in response to sensor feedback, ensuring accurate dispensing volumes and preventing backflow or pressure fluctuations.

[0043] The expandable conduit 113 is positioned above multiple conical-shaped moulds 115 to dispense a controlled amount of mixture into each mould 115. The multiple conical-shaped moulds 115 are configured to define the external geometry of the incense sticks. Each mould 115 is formed from non-stick, thermally conductive material to facilitate shaping and release. Their uniform geometry ensures consistent stick dimensions, while the conical profile aids in even compaction and structural integrity during the forming process.

[0044] A moulding arrangement is installed in the structure 101, includes the multiple conical-shaped mould 115 mounted on a motorised circular disc 116 positioned below the grinding container 107. The motorised circular disc 116 functions as a rotating platform for supporting and positioning the moulds 115. Driven by a motor controlled by the processing unit, the disc 116 rotates in a stepwise or continuous manner to align each mould 115 beneath the dispensing and pressing means. The processing unit precisely regulates rotational speed and indexing positions, enabling synchronized filling, pressing, and subsequent processing of multiple moulds 115 in a continuous production cycle.

[0045] The moulding arrangement further includes a pneumatic pressing plate 117 mounted on a motorized slider 118 connected via an extendable rod 119 using a ball-and-socket joint 120 for precise production of incense. The pneumatic pressing plate 117 operates as a compaction means driven by pressurized air under control of the processing unit. Upon actuation, compressed air is supplied to a pneumatic chamber, generating linear downward force that drives the pressing plate 117 toward the mould 115. The applied pressure is regulated by the processing unit to ensure uniform compaction of the material without deformation. After pressing, controlled air release retracts the plate 117 to its initial position.

[0046] The motorized slider 118 functions as a linear positioning means that guides the extendable rod 119 with the pressing plate 117 along a predefined path. Driven by an electric motor and controlled by the processing unit, the slider 118 converts rotational motion into precise linear displacement using internal guide rails. The processing unit regulates speed, direction, and stroke length to ensure accurate alignment during pressing and retraction operations, enabling synchronized interaction with adjacent forming and retrieval means.

[0047] The extendable rod 119 operates as a telescopic actuator driven by a pneumatic unit. When commanded by the processing unit, compressed air is introduced into the pneumatic chamber, causing the rod 119 to extend linearly. Controlled exhaust of air enables smooth retraction. The processing unit precisely manages air pressure and timing to regulate extension force and length, allowing adaptive positioning and controlled transmission of pressing motion to the associated components.

[0048] The ball-and-socket joint 120 provides multi-axis articulation between the extendable rod 119 and the pressing plate 117. The spherical ball element fits within a complementary socket, allowing angular movement while maintaining mechanical connectivity. During operation, the joint 120 accommodates minor misalignments and distributes applied forces evenly. The processing unit indirectly benefits from this flexibility by ensuring consistent pressure application without imposing excessive stress on the mould 115 or mechanical linkages.

[0049] A level sensor is integrated into each mould 115 to monitor the filling level and upon detection of uneven filling in the mould 115, the expandable conduit 113 is repositioned over that mould 115 to accurately dispense the required amount of paste. The level sensor operates by detecting the height of material within each mould 115. Variations in material presence alter the sensor’s output signal, which is transmitted to the processing unit. The processing unit interprets these signals to determine whether the mould 115 is underfilled, overfilled, or within acceptable limits. Based on this feedback, corrective dispensing or repositioning actions are initiated to ensure uniform filling across all moulds 115.

[0050] Post deposition of the required amount of the paste into the mould 115, the pneumatic pressing plate 117 is activated to set the paste into the mould 115 and an integrated Peltier unit is activated to cool the paste. The Peltier unit functions as a solid-state thermal control device operating on the thermoelectric effect. When energized under instructions from the processing unit, electrical current causes heat transfer from one side of the unit to the opposite side. This creates localized cooling at the mould 115 interface. The processing unit regulates current flow and duration to achieve rapid and uniform cooling, facilitating structural setting of the formed material.

[0051] Upon cooling of the paste, the processing unit activates a vibration unit configured with the moulding arrangements to loosen the sticks from the moulds 115. The vibration unit operates as a mechanical oscillator driven by an electric actuator controlled by the processing unit. Upon activation, the vibration unit generates controlled vibratory motion that is transmitted to the mould 115 assembly. These vibrations reduce adhesion forces between the formed sticks and mould 115 surfaces. The processing unit modulates vibration frequency and duration to loosen the formed products without causing structural damage or deformation.

[0052] A retrieval arrangement is installed in the structure 101, includes multiple paralleled extendable links 121 tipped with C-shaped gripper 122 attached to a plate 123. The extendable links 121 works internally in the similar manner as the extendable rod 119 operates. The C-shaped gripper 122 functions as a compliant gripping element designed to gently engage formed sticks. When actuated by the processing unit through the linkage means, the gripper 122 applies inward force to hold the stick securely. Its curved geometry distributes contact pressure evenly, preventing breakage. Upon reaching the release position, the processing unit commands disengagement, allowing smooth deposition of the stick into the storage area.

[0053] The plate 123 serves as a rigid mounting platform for supporting the multiple paralleled extendable links 121 with the C-shaped gripper 122. The plate 123 is fabricated from lightweight, high-strength material to maintain structural stability while minimizing inertial load. The plate 123 ensures uniform spacing and alignment of attached components, enabling coordinated movement and reliable force transmission during retrieval and transfer operations.

[0054] The plate 123 mounted at end-effector of a six-bar linkage 124 for transferring the demoulded sticks. The six-bar linkage 124 operates as a multi-link mechanical means designed to convert input motion into coordinated output trajectories. Driven indirectly by actuators controlled by the processing unit, the linkage 124 enables precise positioning, lifting, and transfer movements. Its interconnected joints distribute motion smoothly, allowing synchronized gripping, lifting, and placement of formed sticks while maintaining mechanical stability and repeatable motion paths.

[0055] The six-bar linkage 124 and the extendable links 121 tipped with C-shaped gripper 122 operate in a synchronised manner to continuously transferring and storing the demoulded sticks into a storage chamber. The storage chamber is configured as an enclosed compartment for collecting and retaining finished incense sticks. The storage chamber is designed to prevent mechanical damage and environmental exposure during accumulation. The chamber geometry promotes orderly stacking or placement, while its material composition ensures durability and cleanliness, supporting safe temporary storage prior to packaging or further handling.

[0056] A display panel 125 is integrated on the structure 101 to enable a user for monitoring and controlling the stick production. The display is configured to show real-time process status, sensor readings, and adjust ingredient mix ratios, formulation selection for specific therapeutic benefits, select custom herb combinations, and view detailed operational logs.

[0057] The display panel 125 functions as a human-machine interface connected to the processing unit. The display panel 125 receives real-time operational data, sensor readings, and device status signals from the processing unit and visually presents them to the user. User inputs entered through the panel 125 are transmitted back to the processing unit, enabling parameter adjustment, formulation selection, and operational control while maintaining continuous device monitoring.

[0058] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the ingredients as disclosed in the invention are stored within the multiple chambers 102 integrated in the hollow cuboidal structure 101. Based on the selected formulation, the processing unit actuates the pump associated with each chamber 102 to dispense the predefined quantity of ingredients through the respective conduit 104 at the outlet of the chamber 102. During dispensing, the processing unit continuously monitors material transfer and regulates pump operation to ensure controlled delivery. The dispensed ingredients are directed into the grinding container 107, wherein the motorised rotating shaft 105 with sharp blending blades 106 is activated. The processing unit controls the rotational speed of the shaft 105 to uniformly grind the ingredients. During grinding, material resistance is monitored, and the processing unit dynamically regulates shaft 105 operation to maintain consistent grinding performance and prevent mechanical overload. Subsequently, the mixing arrangement is initiated, wherein the water tank 108 with chrome heating wire is activated to heat water to the predefined temperature. The processing unit controls the release of heated water through the multiple nozzles 109 integrated with the tank 108. Simultaneously, the stirring arrangement is actuated, wherein the multiple horizontally oriented L-shaped rods 110 fitted with mixing paddles 111, mounted on the circular slider 112, evenly stir the mixture.

[0059] In continuation, the processing unit continuously evaluates mixture consistency and adjusts stirring and water dispensing to achieve the uniform mixture. Once the mixture reaches the desired consistency, the processing unit actuates the valve 114 integrated with the expandable conduit 113 to transfer the mixture from the grinding container 107. The expandable conduit 113 is positioned above the multiple conical-shaped moulds 115 mounted on the motorised circular disc 116, and the controlled quantity of the mixture is dispensed into each mould 115. After dispensing, the processing unit activates the pneumatic pressing plate 117 mounted on the motorized slider 118 and connected via the extendable rod 119 using the ball-and-socket joint 120 to compact the mixture within the moulds 115. Upon completion of pressing, the processing unit energizes the Peltier unit to cool and set the mixture. After cooling, the vibration unit is activated to loosen the formed sticks from the moulds 115. Following demoulding, the retrieval arrangement is actuated, wherein the multiple paralleled extendable links 121 tipped with C-shaped gripper 122, attached to the plate 123 mounted at the end-effector of the six-bar linkage 124, operate in a synchronized manner to retrieve the formed incense sticks. The retrieved sticks are transferred and stored within the storage chamber. Throughout the operation, the display panel 125 continuously presents real-time process status, operational parameters, and device feedback to the user.
