Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] At present, the processing of traditional Chinese medicinal materials mainly relies on traditional manual or semi-automatic mechanical processing methods. Commonly used equipment includes simple slicing machines and crushers, which are mainly used for cutting traditional Chinese medicinal materials into small pieces or crushing them into powder. The equipment usually has fixed cutting or crushing mechanisms, and the operator needs to manually place and adjust the position and direction of the traditional Chinese medicinal materials. In terms of use scenarios, these devices are mostly used in pharmacies, traditional Chinese medicine processing plants or small traditional Chinese medicine processing workshops, but they lack continuity, precision control and automation, which leads to low processing efficiency of traditional Chinese medicinal materials and difficulty in ensuring the consistency of processing quality.

[0003] The existing traditional Chinese medicine processing technology has obvious deficiencies in continuity, automation and precision. Manual or semi-automatic processing methods not only have low efficiency, but also are difficult to ensure the stability and repeatability of processing quality. For example, when cutting traditional Chinese medicine "jujube" materials, due to their special structure and hardness, traditional equipment cannot achieve uniform and precise cutting, which cannot meet the requirements of high-quality decoction piece market for precise control of piece shape quality. The piece shape is not fine enough, and the loss rate is high. This directly affects the play of medicinal effect and the quality of the final product. In addition, the existing technology requires high skills of the operator and has high labor intensity, which to some extent limits the development and modernization process of the traditional Chinese medicine processing industry. Therefore, in view of these deficiencies, there is an urgent need for a traditional Chinese medicine processing device that can realize efficient, precise and highly automated processing, in order to improve the production efficiency and quality precision control of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, meet the requirements of high-end high-quality decoction piece market for fine piece shape, and meet the development needs of modern traditional Chinese medicine industry.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] In order to better understand the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present specification, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present specification will be described in detail below through the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific features in the embodiments of the present specification and the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present specification, and not limitations of the technical solutions of the present specification. In the case of no conflict, the technical features in the embodiments of the present specification and the embodiments can be combined with each other.

Moreover, the terms "comprises", "comprising", or any other variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but can include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element preceded by "comprises... a" does not, without more constraints, foreclose the existence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the recited element.

[0031] The existing traditional Chinese medicine processing technology has obvious deficiencies in continuity, automation and precision. Manual or semi-automatic processing methods not only have low efficiency, but also are difficult to ensure the stability and repeatability of processing quality. For example, when cutting traditional Chinese medicine "jiajia" materials, due to the special structure and hardness of the material, the traditional equipment is difficult to realize uniform and accurate cutting, which directly affects the play of medicinal effect and the quality of the final product. In addition, the existing technology has high skill requirements for the operator and high labor intensity, which limits the development and modernization process of traditional Chinese medicine processing industry to some extent. Therefore, in view of these deficiencies, an efficient, accurate and automatic traditional Chinese medicine processing device is urgently needed to improve the efficiency and quality of traditional Chinese medicine processing and meet the development needs of modern traditional Chinese medicine industry.

[0032] The embodiment of the present application provides a continuous processing and cutting device for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, which mainly aims at solving the problems in the background art.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9 The embodiment of the present application provides a continuous processing and cutting device for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, which mainly aims at solving the problems in the background art.

[0034] The core of the traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece continuous processing and cutting device provided by the present application is its efficient automatic processing process and accurate cutting technology. The work starts from the strip-shaped conveying channel in the processing box 1. The conveying device 2 in it is responsible for stable conveying of traditional Chinese medicine materials. In this process, the pushing assembly 21 directly contacts the traditional Chinese medicine materials to ensure their smooth forward conveying to the separating assembly 24. The separating assembly 24 is used for accurate layering of traditional Chinese medicine materials under the action of the driving assembly 23. In order to ensure the uniformity and accuracy of cutting, the deviation correcting assembly 22 plays a role in the whole conveying process. By adjusting the position and angle of the traditional Chinese medicine materials, it ensures their movement on the predetermined track, which is crucial for subsequent synchronous cutting. The synchronous cutting mechanism 4 is located at the end of the conveying device 2. The synchronous cutting mechanism 4 synchronously and accurately cuts according to the previous processing steps. Through the device, continuous and automatic processing of traditional Chinese medicine materials can be realized, which not only improves the production efficiency, but also ensures the consistency of product quality.

[0035] As Figures 3-5 shown, in some examples, further, the pushing assembly 21 includes a plate-shaped fixed frame, a strip-shaped gap is arranged in the fixed frame, and two self-driven conveying belts are arranged in the strip-shaped gap, which are respectively arranged at the upper and lower ends of the strip-shaped conveying channel 2 for contacting and conveying the upper and lower end faces of the traditional Chinese medicinal materials.

[0036] In the present example, the function of the pushing assembly 21 is as follows: for the entire processing flow, the pushing assembly 21 is composed of a plate-shaped fixed frame, a strip-shaped gap is arranged in the fixed frame, and two self-driven conveying belts are arranged in the strip-shaped gap, which are respectively arranged at the upper and lower ends of the strip-shaped conveying channel 2, so that the conveying belts can effectively contact the upper and lower end faces of the traditional Chinese medicinal materials and realize stable conveying of the traditional Chinese medicinal materials. In the working process, the two conveying belts ensure the stability and correct posture of the materials in the conveying process by contacting different parts of the traditional Chinese medicinal materials, which is helpful for the subsequent layering and cutting processes. Therefore, the pushing assembly 21 not only ensures the stable movement of the traditional Chinese medicinal materials along the predetermined path, but also reduces the shaking and deviation of the materials in the conveying process to a certain extent, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of the entire processing process.

[0037] As Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 shown, in some examples, further, the driving assembly 23 includes a separation seat 231, a mounting cavity 232, a front baffle 233, a first driving motor 234 and a poking rod 235. The separation seat 231 is fixedly arranged at the middle position in the strip-shaped conveying channel of the processing box 1 and is in a horizontal state. The inside of the separation seat 231 is the mounting cavity 232. The front side of the mounting cavity 232 is the front baffle 233. The height of the separation seat 231 gradually increases from the front baffle 233 to the output direction. The first driving motor 234 is fixedly arranged in the mounting cavity 232 of the separation seat 231. The output end of the first driving motor 234 faces the separation assembly 24. One end of the poking rod 235 is locked on the output end of the first driving motor 234 through a shaft coupling. The other end of the poking rod 235 is movably connected to the separation assembly 24 for driving the separation assembly 24 to realize reciprocating poking, separating the traditional Chinese medicinal materials against the compression part, and guiding the independent cutting of the double-layer structure of the traditional Chinese medicinal materials.

[0038] In the continuous processing cutting device provided in the example, the driving assembly 23 ensures efficient and accurate processing of traditional Chinese medicinal materials. The driving assembly 23 is composed of a separation seat 231, a mounting cavity 232, a front baffle 233, a first driving motor 234, and a poking rod 235. The separation seat 231 is located at the middle position of the processing box 1 strip-shaped conveying channel and maintains a horizontal state. An installation cavity 232 is provided inside the separation seat 231. The front baffle 233 on the front side of the installation cavity 232 is designed such that the height of the separation seat 231 gradually increases from front to back, which helps to gradually separate the traditional Chinese medicinal materials during the conveying process and prevent adhesion. The first driving motor 234 is arranged in the installation cavity 232 of the separation seat 231, and the output end thereof faces the separation assembly 24 to provide power for subsequent operations. One end of the poking rod 235 is connected to the output end of the first driving motor 234 through a coupling, and the other end is connected to the separation assembly 24.

[0039] During operation, after the first driving motor 234 is started, power is transmitted to the separation assembly 24 through the poking rod 235. During power transmission, the poking rod 235 realizes reciprocating poking, thereby driving the separation assembly 24 to accurately separate the layers of traditional Chinese medicinal materials in the conveying process. The movement of the separation assembly 24 effectively separates the traditional Chinese medicinal materials at the compression site, providing conditions for cutting the independent double-layer structure. This not only improves the accuracy of processing but also ensures the continuity and efficiency of the processing process, greatly reducing the need for manual intervention and achieving fine processing of traditional Chinese medicinal materials, ensuring the consistency and repeatability of the processing quality.

[0040] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , in some examples, further, the separation assembly 24 includes a separation plate 241, a cross-cutting knife, and a limiting shaft 243. The separation plate 241 is rotatably arranged in the inner cavity of the conveying channel, and one end of the separation plate 241 away from the output side of the conveying device 2 is flat. The cross-cutting knife is fixedly arranged at both ends of the separation plate 241 and is used to separate the upper and lower layers of the traditional Chinese medicinal materials after separation. The limiting shaft 243 is fixedly arranged at both end portions of the cross-cutting knife and is rotatably clamped in the inner wall of the strip-shaped conveying channel in the processing box 1.

[0041] In the present example, the separation assembly 24 is mainly responsible for the accurate segmentation of traditional Chinese medicine materials, avoiding adhesion, and providing accurate cutting effect through separation. The separation assembly 24 is composed of a separation plate 241, a transverse cutter, and a limiting shaft 243. The separation plate 241 is rotatably installed in the inner cavity of the conveying channel, with one end being flat, so that the separation plate 241 can produce fluctuations during conveying to adapt to the adhesion of the Chinese hawthorn medicine materials in the middle area. The transverse cutter is fixed at both ends of the separation plate 241 and is responsible for accurately segmenting the upper and lower layers of the traditional Chinese medicine materials that have been separated by the pushing assembly 21. This segmentation process is based on the pretreatment of the traditional Chinese medicine materials at the separation seat 231, ensuring uniform and accurate cutting.

[0042] Specifically, the limiting shaft 243 is fixed at both ends of the transverse cutter and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the strip-shaped conveying channel in the processing box 1. The limiting shaft 243 ensures the stability of the transverse cutter during cutting, avoiding cutting errors caused by irregular shapes or size changes of the materials. During the entire processing process, the limiting shaft 243 also ensures the stability of the traditional Chinese medicine materials during conveying, avoiding the free movement of the cutter in multiple directions. Therefore, the device not only improves the processing efficiency but also ensures the accuracy of cutting, meeting the needs of modern traditional Chinese medicine processing.

[0043] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 , in some examples, the thickness of the separation plate 241 gradually increases from the conveying direction. The thickness of the end of the separation plate 241 in the conveying direction is not less than the height of the front baffle 233. The separation plate 241 and the front baffle 233 are located in the middle of the strip-shaped conveying channel and are centrally arranged.

[0044] In the present example, it can be understood that the unique design of the separation plate 241 is that the thickness gradually increases from the conveying direction, which means that the two parts of the segmentation will be separated as the distance of the conveying process, avoiding adhesion and reducing the overall thickness, which helps to further accurately cut. In addition, the thickness of the end of the separation plate 241 is not less than the height of the front baffle 233, ensuring that the materials can smoothly transition to the next processing link when passing through the strip-shaped conveying channel of the processing box 1. The position of the separation plate 241 and the front baffle 233 ensures that the traditional Chinese medicine materials can remain centered during the entire conveying process, avoiding processing errors caused by deviation. This not only improves the accuracy of the processing process but also ensures uniform processing of the materials, thereby improving the quality of the final product.

[0045] As shown in Figure 9As shown, in some examples, further, the other end of the toggle lever 235 is movably inserted in the inner wall of the separation plate 241, and the toggle lever 235 is not straight, and is used to drive the separation plate 241 to reciprocatingly move by rotating, so as to realize the separation effect of the traditional Chinese medicinal materials.

[0046] In the present example, it can be understood that the structure and function of the toggle lever 235 and the separation plate 241 are the main structures for realizing the accurate separation of traditional Chinese medicinal materials. Since the thickness of each fructus aurantii is not the same, the folded fructus aurantii is separated before cutting, which is helpful for more regular cutting in the subsequent process. One end of the toggle lever 235 is connected to the first driving motor 234 through a coupling, and the other end is movably inserted in the inner wall of the separation plate 241, so that after the toggle lever 235 rotates, it can drive the separation plate 241 to reciprocatingly rotate and swing by rotating.

[0047] When the first driving motor 234 is started, power is transmitted to the separation plate 241 through the toggle lever 235. Since the toggle lever 235 is not straight and is movably connected, when the motor rotates, the toggle lever 235 will make the separation plate 241 reciprocatingly rotate within a certain angle. The reciprocating movement is the key mechanism for the separation plate 241 to separate the traditional Chinese medicinal materials. The separation plate 241 can effectively separate the traditional Chinese medicinal materials on the conveying belt under the driving of the toggle lever 235, and realize accurate separation effect. It can be seen that through the further optimization design of the toggle lever 235, the separation efficiency is improved, and the accuracy of the separation process is ensured.

[0048] As Figures 3-5 shown, in some examples, further, the deviation correction assembly 22 includes: a fixed frame 221 and an elastic stopper 222. The number of the fixed frame 221 is two, which are respectively fixedly arranged on the two sides of the traditional Chinese medicinal material conveying direction in the separation seat 231. The top end of the fixed frame 221 is bent towards the inner cavity of the processing box 1 above the separation seat 231. The elastic stopper 222 is fixedly arranged on the upper and lower two end portions of the fixed frame 221. The elastic stopper 222 includes an arc-shaped protrusion in the conveying channel, which can be elastically contracted. The connecting lines of the elastic stoppers 222 in the two fixed frames 221 are perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying device 2.

[0049] In the present example, the deviation correction assembly 22 ensures correct positioning of the traditional Chinese medicine material. The deviation correction assembly 22 is composed of two fixed frames 221 and elastic stoppers 222. The two fixed frames 221 are respectively arranged on the two sides of the separation seat 231 along the conveying direction of the traditional Chinese medicine material, and the top ends thereof are bent into the inner cavity of the processing box 1 above the separation seat 231, so that the fixed frames 221 can provide stable support for the elastic stoppers 222 without interfering with the normal conveying of the traditional Chinese medicine material. The elastic stoppers 222 are installed at the upper and lower ends of the fixed frames 221 and include arc-shaped protrusions in the conveying channel. The protrusions have the characteristic of elastic contraction. When the traditional Chinese medicine material is placed obliquely, the arc-shaped protrusions preferentially contact the end of the front side of the traditional Chinese medicine material moving direction when the traditional Chinese medicine material passes through the conveying channel. When the end is stopped, the other side of the traditional Chinese medicine material contacts the other arc-shaped protrusion, and then the posture correction effect is achieved, ensuring that the material is conveyed smoothly along the set path. Therefore, the elastic adjustment can effectively correct the deviation or skew of the traditional Chinese medicine material that may occur during the conveying process, ensuring that the correct position and posture of the traditional Chinese medicine material are maintained during the entire processing process. Through this deviation correction mechanism, the device can not only improve the accuracy and uniformity of processing, but also reduce processing errors caused by material position deviation, thereby improving the overall processing efficiency and product quality, and making the shape consistency of the cut products good.

[0050] As shown in Figures 1-6 and Figure 8 In some examples, the synchronous cutting mechanism 4 further includes a driving column 41, a driving groove 42, a belt wheel 43, a belt 44, a second driving motor 45, and a cutting part 46. The two driving columns 41 are rotatably arranged in the inner cavity of the processing box 1 on the two sides of the conveying direction of the conveying channel, and the upper and lower ends of the driving column 41 penetrate the conveying channel. The driving groove 42 is spiral-shaped and is opened on the side wall of the upper and lower ends of the driving column 41. The number of belt wheels 43 is two, which are fixedly arranged on the ends of the driving column 41. The two belt wheels 43 are drivingly connected by the belt 44. The second driving motor 45 is fixedly locked in the inner wall of the processing box 1, and the output end of the second driving motor 45 is locked with one of the driving columns 41. The cutting part 46 is movably clamped in the inner cavity of the processing box 1, and is used for realizing strip-shaped segmented cutting of the traditional Chinese medicine material after the cutting and layering are completed.

[0051] In the present example, the synchronous cutting mechanism 4 is the core part of the traditional Chinese medicine piece continuous processing cutting device, responsible for completing the accurate cutting of traditional Chinese medicinal materials, the synchronous cutting mechanism 4 includes a driving column 41, a driving groove 42, a pulley 43, a belt 44, a second driving motor 45 and a cutting part 46, two driving columns 41 are rotatably arranged on both sides of the conveying channel in the inner cavity of the processing box 1, and the upper and lower ends thereof penetrate the conveying channel, so that the cutting part 46 can cover the entire conveying path, a spiral driving groove 42 is formed in the sidewall of the upper and lower ends of each driving column 41, which provides a guide path for the movement of the longitudinal cutter, the pulleys 43 are connected through the belts 44, so that when one pulley 43 rotates, the other pulley 43 also rotates to realize synchronous movement, the second driving motor 45 is fixed and locked on the inner wall of the processing box 1, and the output end thereof is connected with one of the driving columns 41, so as to provide a power source, when the second driving motor 45 is started, the driving column 41 starts to rotate, and through the transmission of the pulleys 43 and the belts 44, the synchronous movement of the cutting part 46 is realized, the cutting part 46 is movably clamped in the inner cavity of the processing box 1, so that it can move along the spiral groove of the driving column 41, so that the cutting part 46 can cut the traditional Chinese medicinal materials into strips, and the movement of the cutting part 46 is synchronized with the conveying speed of the traditional Chinese medicinal materials during the cutting process, so that each piece of traditional Chinese medicinal material can be accurately cut into a regular size and shape.
