Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine slicing technology, and relates to a traditional Chinese medicine slicing device and a method for operating the traditional Chinese medicine slicing device. Background Technology

[0002] Since nearly 90% of Chinese medicinal herbs require slicing and processing, slicing has become an indispensable and important part of the processing of Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine production mainly relies on manual operation. Although this method can ensure the quality and efficacy of the product, it is difficult to operate, inefficient, and costly, making it unable to meet the needs of modern and large-scale production.

[0003] The production of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) requires a modern production method that can improve efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure product quality and efficacy. The design and manufacture of TCM slicing machines aims to improve the processing of TCM, enabling the machine to cut herbs into various sizes and specifications for easier subsequent processing and consumption. TCM slicing machines have fundamentally changed the way TCM is processed. Using traditional methods, processing even a single herb would be extremely difficult. TCM slicing machines have several key features: 1. High efficiency: capable of continuous operation. 2. Uniform thickness and shape: unlike manual slicing, which often results in inconsistent thickness and size, this ensures the aesthetic appearance of the herbs and maximizes their economic value. 3. Fully automatic: requires only manual feeding and operates autonomously. 4. Prevents waste of raw materials: the machine ensures uniform material quality and eliminates waste. 5. Simple operation: generally safe for healthy individuals to operate without requiring extensive technical expertise. Because of these characteristics, the Chinese herbal medicine slicer has achieved excellent results in a short period of time, making the processing of Chinese herbal medicine simple and saving a lot of manual labor.

[0004] Among existing slicing machines, there is one by Lü Chang'an of Gansu Agricultural University, titled "Research and Design of Automatic Orientation, Conveying and Slicing Machine for Jujubes," a master's thesis published in 2010. To solve the problem of jujubes being difficult to cut, numerous experiments were conducted, leading to improvements that enabled orienting of the jujubes during feeding. Finally, an automatic orientation conveying and slicing machine for jujubes was developed. However, jujube kernels are cut into individual shapes, and medicinal materials have a rod-like structure, high hardness, and are even more difficult to cut. Furthermore, irregularities are easily caused during conveying, affecting cutting and gripping. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a Chinese herbal medicine slicing device and its operation method, which can reduce manpower consumption, improve efficiency, reduce costs and improve slicing quality.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: a Chinese herbal medicine slicing device, including a feeding mechanism, a conveying mechanism, a transfer mechanism and a slicing mechanism. The feeding mechanism is installed at the feeding end of the conveying mechanism, and the transfer mechanism is installed between the discharging end of the conveying mechanism and the cutting mechanism. The feeding mechanism and the slicing mechanism are arranged on the left and right sides of the support box. The transfer mechanism takes out the medicinal materials on the conveying mechanism and puts them into the slicing mechanism.

[0007] Furthermore, the aforementioned feeding mechanism includes a long hopper with a V-shaped cross-section at the bottom and a feeding cylinder. The long hopper is longitudinally installed above the conveying mechanism, and the feeding cylinder is rotatably connected to the bottom outlet of the long hopper. The surface of the feeding cylinder is provided with multiple scraping grooves. During the rotation of the feeding cylinder, the scraping grooves scrape the material in the long hopper. The feeding cylinder is connected to the power mechanism of the conveying mechanism.

[0008] Furthermore, the aforementioned conveying mechanism includes a conveyor belt, a driving roller, and a driven roller. The driven roller and the driving roller are horizontally and rotatably connected in the support box. The conveyor belt is sleeved on the driving roller and the driven roller. The outer surface of the conveyor belt is provided with a material arc-shaped groove along the width direction. The driving roller is connected to the power mechanism.

[0009] Furthermore, the aforementioned transfer mechanism includes a disc, a connecting rod, a swinging connecting rod, a pitching beam, and a pneumatic gripper. The disc is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the power mechanism. One end of the connecting rod is hinged to a hinge shaft off-center on the disc, and the other end is hinged to a crossbar connecting the two swinging connecting rods. The upper end of one swinging connecting rod is fixed to the cylinder seat of a rotary cylinder. The rotating disc of the rotary cylinder is fixed to one end of the pitching beam. The other end of the pitching beam is rotatably connected to the upper end of another swinging connecting rod. The lower ends of the two swinging connecting rods are hinged to the bottom of the support box. The pneumatic gripper is mounted on the pitching beam. Under the pitching of the pitching beam and the swinging of the swinging connecting rod, the pneumatic gripper can grab the medicinal herb stem from the conveying mechanism and place the grabbed medicinal herb stem into the slicing mechanism.

[0010] Furthermore, the aforementioned pneumatic gripper includes pneumatic fingers and grippers. Two pneumatic fingers are arranged along the length of the pitch beam. The grippers are long, bent comb-tooth structures. Two grippers are used, with each gripper fixedly connected to the gripper on the same side of the two pneumatic fingers. When the two grippers are closed, a space is formed to hold the medicinal material rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the material arc groove of the aforementioned conveying mechanism is provided with notches for the bent comb tooth structure corresponding to the grippers.

[0012] Furthermore, the slicing mechanism includes a slicing roller 1 and a slicing roller 2. The cylindrical surface of the slicing roller 1 is provided with multiple rows of roller blades 1, and the cylindrical surface of the slicing roller 2 is provided with multiple rows of roller blades 2. Each row of roller blades 1 is bent upwards into a hook shape, and each row of roller blades 2 is bent downwards into a hook shape. The roller blades 1 and 2 are arranged alternately. The slicing roller 1 and slicing roller 2 are rotatably connected to the support box and connected to the slicing power mechanism. Both the slicing roller 1 and slicing roller 2 rotate in a counterclockwise direction.

[0013] Furthermore, the aforementioned herbal slicing device also includes a pressing mechanism, which is installed above the conveying mechanism and after the discharging mechanism, and is used to neatly arrange the medicinal materials into the material arc-shaped groove of the conveying mechanism.

[0014] Furthermore, the aforementioned pressing mechanism includes pressing springs, spring connecting plates, pressing connecting plates, and pressing push rods. Multiple rows of pressing springs are arranged vertically, with their upper ends fixedly connected to the spring connecting plates. The spring connecting plates are fixedly connected to the pressing connecting plates via two connecting columns. A pressing push rod is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper end of the pressing connecting plates. A horizontal push rod is fixedly connected to the top of the pressing push rod. A horizontal strip-shaped through hole is provided on the side of the horizontal push rod. The horizontal strip-shaped through hole is movably hinged to a hinge shaft on the motor disk. The hinge shaft is arranged away from the center of the motor disk. The motor disk is fixedly connected to the electrode shaft of the pressing motor. The pressing motor is fixedly connected above the conveying mechanism via a support frame. Two guide rods are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the upper end of the pressing connecting plates. The two guide rods are connected to two linear bearings, which are fixedly connected to a guide beam. Both ends of the guide beam are fixedly connected to the top of the support frame.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1) This invention integrates the quantitative feeding mechanism, the conveying mechanism and the slicing mechanism into one unit. The conveying mechanism is in front and the slicing mechanism is behind. Not only is the overall structure compact, but it also solves the problem of wasting time and manpower in transporting Chinese medicine. Furthermore, the use of a transfer mechanism realizes the transition between the conveying mechanism and the slicing mechanism, avoiding problems such as interference between the two. 2) The ratchet-type feeding cylinder can feed the medicinal materials into the conveying mechanism in a set direction, which is convenient for subsequent transfer. It can also drop the materials onto the conveying mechanism in a quantitative manner, which is convenient for controlling the feeding amount. 3) The material arc-shaped trough of the conveyor belt makes it easy to place the medicinal materials horizontally in the transmission direction of the conveyor belt, thereby realizing positioning and conveying, and further facilitating the transfer mechanism to transfer them. 4) The crank-telescopic mechanism, consisting of a disc, connecting rod, and swing connecting rod, is used to achieve reciprocating gripping and unloading. The reciprocating motion is fast-responding. With the addition of a rotary cylinder and pitch beam, the pneumatic fingers can grip the medicinal material rod vertically into the arc-shaped groove of the material, making the gripping of the medicinal material rod more stable. It is also convenient to control the rotation of the rotary cylinder during unloading, so that the gripper can rotate to a vertical position and achieve stable unloading. 5) The two symmetrical grippers are controlled by pneumatic fingers for gripping, which is stable and reliable. The bent comb structure of the two grippers is arranged in a cross pattern and can be embedded into the corresponding gaps, which improves the gripping reliability and makes it more adaptable to gripping medicinal materials of different diameters. The pneumatic finger control is sensitive and quick to pick up and put down. 6) In order for the grippers to better hold the medicinal herb rods, the material arc groove 204 of the conveying mechanism 2 is provided with a notch for the bent comb tooth structure corresponding to the grippers, so that the grippers can hold the bottom of the medicinal herb rods more stably and reliably. 7) Both slicing roller one and slicing roller two rotate counterclockwise. The two rows of roller blades between the two slicing roller two move relative to each other, thereby cutting the fallen medicinal herb stems to obtain medicinal herb slices. The curved hook-shaped roller blades can also play a role in biting the medicinal herb stems more stably, which is more conducive to the cutting operation of medicinal herb stem slices, reducing the need for pressing and feeding mechanisms and reducing costs. 8) After being cleaned, the medicinal materials are fed into the conveyor belt through the feeding mechanism. The semi-circular groove is used for transportation, so that the medicinal materials are arranged and enter the slicer. A pressing device is added to the conveyor belt to make the medicinal materials neatly arranged and then transferred to the feeding port by the transfer mechanism. The feeding point moves relative to each other during the interlocking rotation for cutting. Since the medicinal materials are uneven, a mechanical arm and pneumatic finger transfer mechanism is used at the end of the conveyor belt. The motion is designed as a cam mechanism. The pneumatic fingers and grippers hold the neatly arranged medicinal material rods and feed them into the feeding port of the slicing mechanism. After the pneumatic fingers are opened, they fall freely into the cutting edge. 9) Under the action of the rotating motor disc, the hinge shaft moves in the horizontal strip through hole, thereby driving the pressing rod to move up and down, so that the pressing spring presses the medicinal material rod, thereby achieving the alignment function. The motor disc increases the inertia, so that the spring returns to its original position after instantaneous contact, which is more conducive to pushing the medicinal material rod into the arc groove.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0018] Example 1: As Figure 1-9 As shown, a traditional Chinese medicine slicing device includes a feeding mechanism 1, a conveying mechanism 2, a transfer mechanism 3, and a slicing mechanism 4. The feeding mechanism 1 is installed at the feeding end of the conveying mechanism 2, and the transfer mechanism 3 is installed between the discharging end of the conveying mechanism 2 and the cutting mechanism 4. The feeding mechanism 1 and the slicing mechanism 4 are arranged on the support box 5. The transfer mechanism 3 takes out the medicinal materials from the conveying mechanism 2 and puts them into the slicing mechanism 4.

[0019] The feeding mechanism 1 includes a long hopper 101 with a V-shaped bottom and a feeding cylinder 102. The long hopper 101 is fixedly connected to the support box 5 by a support leg 104. The long hopper 101 is installed longitudinally above the conveying mechanism 2. The feeding cylinder 102 is rotatably connected to the support box 5 and located at the bottom outlet of the long hopper 101. The cylindrical surface of the feeding cylinder 102 is provided with multiple scraping grooves 103. The scraping grooves 103 scrape the material in the long hopper 101 during the rotation of the feeding cylinder 102. The feeding cylinder 102 is connected to the power mechanism of the conveying mechanism 2. The feeding cylinder adopts a ratchet type, which can feed the medicinal materials into the conveying mechanism in a set direction, which is convenient for subsequent transfer. It can also drop onto the conveying mechanism in a quantitative manner, which is convenient for controlling the feeding amount.

[0020] The conveying mechanism 2 includes a conveyor belt 201, a drive roller 202, and a driven roller 203. The driven roller 203 and the drive roller 202 are horizontally and rotatably connected in the support box 5. The conveyor belt 201 is sleeved on the drive roller 202 and the driven roller 203. The outer surface of the conveyor belt 201 is provided with a material arc groove 204 along the width direction. The drive roller 202 is connected to the power mechanism. The conveyor belt with the material arc groove makes it easy to place the medicinal materials horizontally in the transmission direction of the conveyor belt, thereby realizing positioning and conveying. In the transfer mechanism, it is further convenient for the transfer mechanism to transfer. The discharge end of the conveying mechanism 2 is provided with a recovery inclined plate 7 to collect the medicinal materials that are not grabbed by the transfer mechanism.

[0021] The aforementioned transfer mechanism 3 includes a disc 301, a connecting rod 302, a swing connecting rod 303, a pitch beam 304, and a pneumatic gripper 305. The disc 301 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the power mechanism. One end of the connecting rod 302 is hinged to an off-center hinge shaft on the disc 301, and the other end is hinged to a crossbar 306 connecting the two swing connecting rods 303. The upper end of one swing connecting rod 303 is fixed to the cylinder seat of a rotary cylinder 307 via a connecting seat 310. The rotating disc of the rotary cylinder 307 is fixed to one end of the pitch beam 304. The other end of the pitch beam 304 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the other swing connecting rod 303. The lower ends of the two swing connecting rods 303 are hinged. The pneumatic gripper 305 is mounted on the pitch beam 304 and attached to the hinge seat at the bottom of the support box 5. Under the pitch of the pitch beam 304 and the swing of the swinging link, the pneumatic gripper 305 can grab the medicinal material rod from the conveying mechanism and put the grabbed medicinal material rod into the slicing mechanism 4. The reciprocating gripping and unloading are achieved by a crank-remote mechanism composed of a disc 301, a connecting rod, and a swinging link. The reciprocating motion is fast. With the addition of a rotary cylinder and a pitch beam, the pneumatic fingers can grip the medicinal material rod vertically into the arc-shaped groove of the material, which is more stable in gripping the medicinal material rod. It is also convenient to control the rotation of the rotary cylinder during unloading, so that the gripper can rotate to a vertical position and achieve stable unloading. The pneumatic gripper 305 includes pneumatic fingers 308 and grippers 309. Two pneumatic fingers 308 are arranged along the length of the pitch beam 304. The grippers 309 are long, bent comb-tooth structures. Two grippers 309 are used, and each gripper 309 is fixedly connected to the gripper on the same side of the two pneumatic fingers 308. When the two grippers 309 are closed, they form a space for gripping the medicinal herb rod. The two symmetrical grippers are controlled by the pneumatic fingers to grasp the herb rod, which is stable and reliable. The bent comb-tooth structures of the two grippers are arranged in a cross pattern and can be embedded into the corresponding gaps, resulting in better gripping reliability and adaptability to gripping medicinal herb rods of different diameters. The pneumatic fingers control the gripper, which is responsive and allows for rapid picking and putting.

[0022] To make it easier for the grippers to hold the medicinal herb stems, the material arc groove 204 of the conveying mechanism 2 is provided with a notch corresponding to the bent comb tooth structure of the gripper 309, which makes it easier for the grippers to hold the bottom of the medicinal herb stems, and the gripping is more stable and reliable.

[0023] The slicing mechanism 4 includes a first slicing roller 401 and a second slicing roller 402. The cylindrical surface of the first slicing roller 401 is provided with multiple rows of first slicing blades 403, and the cylindrical surface of the second slicing roller 402 is provided with multiple rows of second slicing blades 404. Each row of first slicing blades 403 is bent upwards into a hook shape, and each row of second slicing blades 404 is bent downwards into a hook shape. The first slicing blades 403 and second slicing blades 404 are arranged alternately. The first slicing roller 401 and the second slicing roller 402 are rotatably connected to the support box 5 and connected to the slicing power mechanism. Both the first slicing roller 401 and the second slicing roller 402 rotate counterclockwise. The two rows of second slicing blades between the two second slicing rollers 402 move relative to each other, thereby cutting the fallen medicinal herb stems to obtain medicinal herb slices. The bent hook-shaped second slicing blades can also play a role in more stably biting the medicinal herb stems, which is more conducive to the cutting operation of medicinal herb stem slices, reduces the need for a pressing and feeding mechanism, and reduces costs. The transfer mechanism uses the reciprocating motion of the crankshaft and rocker mechanism to grab and put down the medicinal material rod, so that the medicinal material rod is removed from the conveying mechanism and sent into the slicing mechanism for slicing. Then the sliced ​​Chinese medicine is sent out from the bottom of the slicing roller through the material plate 8.

[0024] As the feeding cylinder in the feeding mechanism rotates the Chinese herbal medicine downwards, it falls into the arc-shaped hopper and is then conveyed forward by a synchronous conveyor belt. At the bottom of the synchronous conveyor belt, an eccentric shaft (driven by a motor) can be designed to function as a vibrator. This is because when the Chinese herbal medicine falls from the groove of the feeding cylinder into the long, arc-shaped groove on the conveyor belt, a very small number of pieces will inevitably exhibit different postures. To ensure the quality of the slices and facilitate handling, a vibrator is needed to vibrate the medicine. Combined with the pressing mechanism described below, this makes it easier to slide the herbal sticks into the flow arc-shaped trough. Therefore, after the vibrator, a pressing mechanism is also needed to compress the Chinese herbal medicine, facilitating transport by the transfer mechanism and ensuring the medicine is in the prescribed posture for slicing.

[0025] After the medicinal materials are fed into the conveying mechanism, the posture of the medicinal material rod will change, which will cause the medicinal materials to not be neatly fed into the material arc groove. In order to further facilitate the conveying and the gripping of the next process, the above-mentioned Chinese medicine slicing device also includes a pressing mechanism 6. The pressing mechanism 6 is installed above the conveying mechanism 2 and after the discharging mechanism 1, and is used to organize the medicinal materials to fall neatly into the material arc groove 204 of the conveying mechanism 2.

[0026] The aforementioned pressing mechanism 6 includes pressing springs 601, spring connecting plates 602, pressing connecting plates 603, and pressing push rods 604. Multiple rows of pressing springs 601 are vertically arranged, with their upper ends fixedly connected to the spring connecting plates 602. The spring connecting plates 602 are fixedly connected to the pressing connecting plates 603 via two connecting posts 605. A pressing push rod 604 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper end of the pressing connecting plates 603. A horizontal push rod 610 is fixedly connected to the top of the pressing push rod 604. A horizontal strip-shaped through hole 611 is provided on the side of the horizontal push rod 610. The horizontal strip-shaped through hole 611 is movably hinged to a hinge shaft 607 on the motor disk 606. The hinge shaft 607 is arranged away from the center of the motor disk 606. The motor disk 606 is fixedly connected to... On the electrode shaft of the pressing motor 608, the pressing motor 608 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the conveying mechanism 2 via the support frame 609. Two guide rods 612 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the pressing connecting plate 603 on the left and right. The two guide rods 612 are connected to two linear bearings 613. The two linear bearings 613 are fixedly connected to the guide beam 614. The two ends of the guide beam 614 are fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 609. Under the action of the rotation of the motor disc, it moves in the horizontal strip through hole through the hinge shaft, thereby driving the pressing push rod to move up and down, realizing the pressing spring pressing the medicinal material rod, thereby realizing the alignment function. The motor disc plays the role of increasing inertia, so that the spring returns to its original position after instantaneous contact, which is more conducive to pushing the medicinal material rod into the arc-shaped groove.

[0027] Example 2: An operation method of a Chinese herbal medicine slicing device, the method is as follows: the medicinal materials are placed into the feeding mechanism, the feeding mechanism evenly feeds the medicinal materials into the conveyor belt of the conveying mechanism for conveying, the pressing mechanism is used to straighten the medicinal materials on the conveyor belt into the corresponding arc groove of the conveyor belt, when the conveyor belt is conveyed to the end, the transfer mechanism is used to send the medicinal materials into the slicing mechanism, and the slicing mechanism slices the fed medicinal materials.

[0028] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of protection of the claims.
