The present application is provided with a pressing plate, which can press down the tablets, and a push plate can push the tablets to move into the blanking chute. Tablets of different diameters cause the push plate to move different distances, so that the distances of the pressing plates are different. The smaller the tablet diameter, the shorter the distance the push plate moves, and the shorter the distance the pressing plate moves. Therefore, for tablets of different sizes, the appropriate position of the tablets can be pressed down. The pressing plate will not fail to press the tablet due to a too small tablet diameter, nor will the pressing plate press too much area of ​​the tablet due to a too large tablet diameter. Therefore, while pressing the tablet, it will not affect the subsequent tablet slicing work.

[0017] 2. The present application is provided with a handle, and the handle can be pressed down to drive the pressure rod to move, and the pressure rod can drive the pressure plate to move downward, so that the pressure plate can press tablets of different thicknesses. When the handle moves, it can drive the push plate to move, and the push plate drives the insertion rod to move. Since the inner side of the insertion rod is an inclined surface, it can drive the pressure plates on both sides to move inward at the same time, which can better realize the clamping work of the tablets. The operation is convenient and the structure is ingenious. Only the handle needs to be pressed down to realize the coordinated movement of the pressure plate and the cutter. No complicated operation is required, which effectively simplifies the operation and has high practical value. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0021] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment proposes a tablet cutting method, including a box body 1 and a cutter 4, and also includes a push plate 8 and a plurality of pressing plates 19 for pressing down the tablets. The push plate 8 is connected to a baffle 23 for supporting the tablets. When the push plate 8 moves, it can drive the plurality of pressing plates 19 to move inward at the same time. The plurality of pressing plates 19 move synchronously and the movement distance is the same. The pressing plate 19 presses down the upper surface of the tablet to reduce the shaking of the tablet during slicing.

[0022] The box body 1 is provided with a feeding chute 21 for tablets to pass through. The thickness of the feeding chute 21 is smaller than the thickness of the tablets, the diameter of the feeding chute 21 is smaller than the diameter of the tablets, and the diameter of the feeding chute 21 is large enough to facilitate the tablets to fall into the feeding chute 21. The push plate 8 and the baffle plate 23 are located on both sides of the feeding chute 21, so that the tablets falling into the feeding chute 21 can be supported by the baffle plate 23 and limited by the pressing plate 19 at the same time, which is convenient for cutting. In the initial state, the distance between the pressing plate 19 and the center of the feeding chute 21 is the same.

[0023] Slide plates 17 are slidably connected to both sides of the box body 1. The slide plates 17 are connected to the box body 1 through tension springs 16. The slide plates 17 are fixedly connected to guide rods 18. Two pressure plates 19 are provided, and the two pressure plates 19 are slidably connected to the two slide plates 17 respectively. The pressure plates 19 are slidably connected to the guide rods 18. The guide rods 18 play a guiding role. One end of the compression spring 16 is connected to the slide plate 17, and the other end is connected to the box body 1.

[0024] The pressing plate 19 slides in the vertical direction, and the pressing plate 19 is connected to the slide plate 17 through the compression spring 22. The upper end of the compression spring 22 is connected to the pressing plate 19, and the lower end of the compression spring 22 is connected to the slide plate 17. In the initial state, the elastic force of the tension spring 16 makes the pressing plate 19 be located on one side of the blanking trough 21, and the elastic force of the compression spring 22 leaves a suitable gap between the pressing plate 19 and the blanking trough 21, so as to facilitate the sliding of tablets.

[0025] The box body 1 is slidably connected to a handle 2 that moves in a vertical direction. The cutter 4 is detachably connected to the handle 2. The cutters 4 of different specifications can be replaced to achieve the slitting of tablets of different specifications, so that the tablets can be cut into several pieces. The cutter 4 is slidably connected to a pressure rod 5 that can press down the pressure plate 19. The pressure rod 5 is connected to the cutter 4 through a first spring. The box body 1 is fixedly connected to a slide bar 3 set in a vertical direction. The handle 2 is slidably connected to the slide bar 3. The handle 2 is connected to the slide bar 3 through a second spring.

[0026] The upper end of the second spring is connected to the handle 2, and the lower end of the second spring is connected to the slide bar 3. The slide bar 3 allows the handle 2 to move only in the vertical direction. In the initial state, under the elastic force of the second spring, the cutter 4 and the pressure rod 5 have a suitable gap with the surface of the box body 1.

[0027] One end of the first spring is connected to the pressure rod 5, and the other end is connected to the cutter 4. The elastic force of the first spring is greater than the elastic force of the compression spring 22. Therefore, when the handle 2 drives the pressure rod 5 to descend, the pressure rod 5 can first drive the pressure plate 19 to move downward, causing the compression spring 22 to deform. Then, when the handle 2 is continued to be pressed down, the first spring is deformed. The setting of the pressure rod 5 can enable the pressure plate 19 to compress tablets of different thicknesses.

[0028] Both ends of the push plate 8 are fixedly connected with an insertion rod 14, and the inner side of the insertion rod 14 is an inclined surface that can drive the slide plate 17 to slide inward. The push plate 8 and the box body 1 are slidably connected. When the push plate 8 moves toward the direction of the blanking chute 21, it can drive the insertion rod 14 to move synchronously. Under the action of the inclined surface, the slide plate 17 can slide inward, so that the pressing plate 19 moves to the top of the tablet.

[0029] Tablets of different diameters cause the push plate 8 to move different distances, which causes the distances of the pressing plate 19 to be different. The smaller the tablet diameter, the shorter the distance the push plate 8 moves, and the shorter the distance the pressing plate 19 moves. Therefore, for tablets of different sizes, the appropriate position of the tablet can be pressed down. The pressing plate 19 will not fail to press the tablet due to a tablet diameter that is too small, nor will the pressing plate 19 press too much area of ​​the tablet due to a tablet diameter that is too large. Therefore, while pressing the tablet, it will not affect the subsequent tablet slicing work.

[0030] The box body 1 is provided with a slide groove 13, in which a push block 11 is slidably connected. The push block 11 is connected to the push plate 8 through a spring rod 12. The handle 2 is fixedly connected with a push rod 9. The push rod 9 is hinged with a connecting rod 10. The other end of the connecting rod 10 is hinged to the push block 11. When the handle 2 descends, the push plate 8 can be driven to descend. The push rod 9 can push the push block 11 to move through the connecting rod 10. The push block 11 drives the spring rod 12 to move, and the spring rod 12 can drive the push plate 8 to move.

[0031] The spring rod 12 includes a third spring and a sliding rod. The right end of the sliding rod is fixedly connected to the push block 11, and the left end of the sliding rod is slidably connected to the push plate 8. The third spring is sleeved on the sliding rod. The right end of the third spring is connected to the push block 11, and the left end is connected to the push plate 8. When the push plate 8 contacts the tablet, the push plate 8 cannot move further. When the handle 2 is pressed down, relative sliding can occur between the push block 11 and the push plate 8. At this time, the third spring is compressed, and the elastic force of the third spring is greater than the elastic force of the tension spring 16, so that the tension spring 16 is deformed first.

[0032] The box body 1 is fixedly connected to a bracket 7, and the bracket 7 is detachably connected to a cartridge 6 for storing tablets. The cartridge 6 is located between the push plate 8 and the drop chute 21. The tablets are stacked in the cartridge 6 in sequence. Cartridges 6 of different sizes can be replaced according to the sizes of the tablets. A suitable distance is left between the cartridge 6 and the upper surface of the box body 1, and the distance is greater than the thickness of one tablet and less than the thickness of two tablets. Therefore, only one tablet will fall from the cartridge 6 each time. The thickness of the push plate 8 is less than the thickness of one tablet, so that each time the push plate 8 moves, only one tablet can be pushed.

[0033] The box body 1 is slidably connected to a collecting box 15, which is located below a feeding chute 21. The collecting box 15 is used to collect tablets. The box body 1 is fixedly connected to a fixing block 20, which is located on the left side of the feeding chute 21. The push plate 8 is located on the right side of the feeding chute 21. The pressing plate 19 is located on the front and rear sides of the tablets. The baffle 23 is located on the lower side of the tablets. The fixing block 20, the push plate 8, the pressing plate 19 and the baffle 23 cooperate with each other to clamp the tablets.

[0034] The following steps are involved: S1: The push plate 8 pushes the tablets on the upper surface of the box body 1, and the push plate 8 drives the pressing plate 19 to move. At the same time, the push plate 8 drives several pressing plates 19 to move inward at the same time; S2: When the tablet is pushed into the chute 21, the baffle 23 moves to the bottom of the tablet to support it, and several pressing plates 19 move to the top of the tablet to press it down, while the push plate 8 contacts the tablet to fix it; S3: Press the cutter 4 downward to cut the tablets, then the push plate 8 is reset, driving the baffle 23 to reset, and the cut tablets fall down, completing the cutting; Tablets of different diameters cause the push plate 8 to move different distances, which makes the distances of the pressing plates 19 different. For tablets with large diameters, the push plate 8 moves a short distance, and the pressing plate 19 moves a short distance. For tablets with small diameters, the push plate 8 moves a long distance, and the pressing plate 19 moves a long distance, so that there is always a gap between several pressing plates 19 for the cutter 4 to fall.

[0035] In S1, the handle 2 is pressed down, and the handle 2 drives the cutter 4 and the pressure rod 5 to descend. At the same time, the handle 2 pushes the push block 11 to move through the push rod 9 and the connecting rod 10, and the push block 11 drives the push plate 8 to move through the spring rod 12; the pressure rod 5 presses the pressure plate 19 downward, driving the pressure plate 19 to achieve the compression work on the upper surface of the tablet.

[0036] The fixing block 20 and the push plate 8 clamp the two sides of the tablet, the baffle 23 supports the lower surface of the tablet, and the pressing plate 19 limits the upper and lower sides of the front and rear sides of the tablet. The setting of the pressing rod 5 can make the pressing plate 19 always contact with the upper surface of the tablet, reduce the shaking of the tablet during cutting, and improve the fixing effect of the tablet. For tablets of different sizes, the appropriate position of the tablet can be pressed down. The pressing plate 19 will not be able to press the tablet due to the small diameter of the tablet, nor will it press too much area of ​​the tablet due to the large diameter of the tablet. Therefore, while pressing the tablet, it will not affect the subsequent tablet slicing work.

[0037] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
