This utility model belongs to the technical field of
slicing machines, and more particularly to a
slicing machine, including a worktable. A hinged
cutting table is rotatably connected to the worktable, and a cutter is fixedly connected to one side of the hinged
cutting table. A material placement and
processing table is fixedly connected to the top of the worktable. The material placement and
processing table has a placement cavity, and an
insertion detection auxiliary needle is slidably connected inside the material placement and
processing table. When the material is moved towards the
insertion detection auxiliary needle, a
pressure sensor is provided inside the material placement and processing table to detect the movement pressure of the
insertion detection auxiliary needle. When the insertion detection auxiliary needle is inserted into the material, if the material is hard, the insertion detection auxiliary needle is not easy to insert, and the pressure detected by the
pressure sensor is at a higher value, thereby
softening the material and avoiding the phenomenon of chipping when
slicing hard materials directly, thus improving the slicing effect of medicinal materials.
