Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cutting equipment, and in particular to a rotary disc type medicine cutting machine. Background Art

[0002] Slicing Chinese medicinal materials is an important step in the processing of Chinese medicine. It not only affects the extraction efficiency of the effective ingredients of the medicinal materials, but is also directly related to the subsequent decoction, administration and efficacy of the medicine. Correct slicing operation can ensure the quality and efficacy of the medicinal materials, and is also conducive to storage and transportation. In related technologies, Chinese medicinal materials are mostly sliced ​​by slicers. When using slicers to cut medicinal materials, staff are usually required to manually place the medicinal materials and press the medicinal materials to fix them to prevent the medicinal materials from shifting during the cutting process and affecting the slicing quality. The manual operation method has low work efficiency.

[0003] The patent document with the authorization announcement number CN117733942B discloses a rotary disc slicer and a slicing method. The slicer includes a slicer body, a feed trough is provided on the top of the slicer body, a transmission belt is provided in the inner cavity of the feed trough, a hopper is fixedly connected to one side of the slicer body, and a material collecting mechanism is provided on the top of the slicer body. The slicer of the patent document utilizes a pushing unit, a material control unit and a feeding mechanism. The pushing unit pushes the medicinal materials accumulated on the top of the slicer body to accurately enter the inner cavity of the feed trough, and the material control unit controls the materials. The feeding of the hopper is controlled to avoid the accumulation of medicinal materials on the top of the pushing unit, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the pushing unit. The feeding mechanism performs centralized vibration feeding of the medicinal materials in the hopper through swinging, which speeds up the feeding speed of the medicinal materials and improves the feeding effect, and realizes the timely supply of sliced ​​medicinal materials. Through the coordinated use of the pushing unit, the control unit and the feeding mechanism, it avoids multiple operators manually pushing and pressing the materials, reduces the output of manpower, improves the degree of automation of feeding and unloading, and improves the efficiency of slicing medicinal materials.

[0004] The shape of medicinal materials is relatively irregular, and there are certain differences in the appearance of medicinal materials grown in different environments. For example, some rhizome medicinal materials have certain differences in diameter, and different positions of the same medicinal material are also different. The slicer of the above-mentioned patent document pushes the medicinal materials into the inner cavity of the feed trough through the pushing unit, and then the transmission belt conveys the medicinal materials to the slicing position for slicing. During this transportation process, when the medicinal materials are conveyed by the transmission belt, the transmission belt is only fixed to the maximum diameter of the medicinal materials. As the slicing action proceeds, the large end of the medicinal material is gradually cut off, which will cause the medicinal materials to shake during the subsequent cutting process, resulting in an uneven cut surface or inconsistent cutting thickness, affecting the uniformity of the medicinal material slices. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention provides a rotary disc medicine cutting machine, aiming to solve the problem that when a slicer in the related art cuts medicinal materials, the slicer shakes during the cutting process due to the difference in the shapes of the medicinal materials, thereby affecting the uniformity of the cutting quality of the medicinal materials.

[0007] The beneficial effects are: improving the stability of the medicinal material slicing operation and ensuring the quality of the medicinal material slicing. The conveying mechanism conveys the medicinal material to be sliced ​​to the cutting mechanism. The limiting mechanism is located on the upper side of the conveying mechanism and limits the position of the medicinal material at the unloading end of the conveying mechanism, so as to improve the stability of the position of the medicinal material when the cutting mechanism cuts the medicinal material and reduce the shaking of the medicinal material during the cutting process. Each limiting block extends into the gap between the medicinal materials at the unloading end of the conveying mechanism to fill the gap between the medicinal materials, further reducing the shaking of the medicinal materials in the horizontal direction, reducing the influence of the shape of the medicinal materials on the stability of the slicing, and improving the uniformity and flatness of the medicinal material slicing.

[0008] Preferably, a longitudinal slide groove 1 is provided on the machine body, the movable roller 1 is slidably matched with the slide groove 1, and is connected to the slide groove 1 through an elastic member 1, and the movable roller 1 squeezes the elastic member 1 to store force when moving upward.

[0009] Preferably, there are two slide grooves, and a slider is fixed at each end of the length of the movable roller. The two sliders slide along the two slide grooves respectively. Any slider is connected to a striking rod. A blanking piece is provided on the lower side of the cutting mechanism. The blanking piece is elastically connected to the machine body, and the striking rod is in movably contact with the blanking piece.

[0010] The beneficial effects are: it is convenient for the sliced ​​medicinal materials to slide relative to the blanking piece, and reduces the adhesion of the medicinal materials on the surface of the blanking piece. After a batch of medicinal materials are sliced, the movable roller one moves downward under the action of the elastic member one, and the striking rod presses the blanking piece downward to make the blanking piece accumulate force. After the subsequent medicinal materials are loaded, the movable roller one is squeezed upward again, and the striking rod is separated from the blanking piece. The blanking piece bounces upward under the action of the elastic force, and the medicinal materials are thrown upward to separate the medicinal materials from the blanking piece, which is convenient for the blanking operation of the medicinal materials.

[0011] Preferably, the blanking piece is inclined downward along an end away from the cutting mechanism.

[0012] The beneficial effect is that the blanking piece is in the shape of an inclined plate, the sliced ​​medicinal materials fall on the blanking piece, and the sliced ​​medicinal materials slide on the cutting piece to the lower end of the cutting piece, which is convenient for operators to collect the sliced ​​medicinal materials.

[0016] The beneficial effects are as follows: the medicinal material slices are separated from the cutting piece. When a batch of medicinal materials is cut, the movable roller moves down and pulls the movable roller 2 toward the cutting mechanism through the transmission belt. The movable rod taps the cutting mechanism to promote the medicinal material slices adhered to the cutting mechanism to fall relative to the cutting piece, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the cutting mechanism.

[0017] Preferably, each of the limit blocks is slidably matched with the transmission belt, and the limit blocks are deformed by extrusion.

[0018] Preferably, the conveying mechanism includes a driving source, a conveyor belt and two conveyor rollers, the two conveyor rollers are rotatably matched with the machine body, the driving source is connected to any one of the conveyor rollers, and the conveyor belt is simultaneously mounted on the two conveyor rollers.

The conveying mechanism conveys the medicinal material to be sliced ​​to the cutting mechanism. The limiting mechanism is located on the upper side of the conveying mechanism and limits the position of the medicinal material at the unloading end of the conveying mechanism. When the cutting mechanism cuts the medicinal material, the stability of the position of the medicinal material is improved and the shaking of the medicinal material during the cutting process is reduced.

[0027] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the rotary medicine cutting machine of the present invention comprises a body 1, on which a conveying mechanism, a cutting mechanism and a limiting mechanism are provided. The conveying mechanism conveys the medicinal materials to be sliced ​​to the cutting mechanism, and the limiting mechanism is located on the upper side of the conveying mechanism, and limits the position of the medicinal materials at the unloading end of the conveying mechanism, so as to improve the stability of the position of the medicinal materials when the cutting mechanism cuts the medicinal materials, reduce the shaking during the cutting process of the medicinal materials, and ensure the quality of the medicinal material slices.

[0029] The conveying mechanism includes a driving source, a conveyor belt 2 and two conveyor rollers 21. The two conveyor rollers 21 are rotatably matched with the machine body 1. The driving source is connected to any one of the conveyor rollers 21. The conveyor belt 2 is simultaneously sleeved on the two conveyor rollers 21. The driving source can be a motor. When the driving source is working, it drives the conveyor rollers 21 connected thereto to rotate, and makes the conveyor belt 2 reciprocate between the two conveyor rollers 21 to transport medicinal materials. The cutting mechanism includes a cutting member 11 and a driving member. The driving member can also be a motor. The driving member is used to drive the cutting member 11 to rotate. When the cutting member 11 rotates, the medicinal materials transported by the conveying mechanism are sliced.

[0030] The limiting mechanism is located at the upper side of the end of the conveying mechanism, and the limiting mechanism includes a rotating roller 3, an active roller 1 31, an active roller 2 32 and a transmission belt 33. The rotating roller 3 is rotatably matched with the machine body 1. The machine body 1 is provided with a motor for driving the rotating roller 3 to rotate. The rotating roller 3 can also be connected to the driving source belt or chain of the conveying mechanism for driving. The active roller 1 31 is located at the lower side of the rotating roller 3, with the side facing the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2 as the front side, and the active roller 2 32 is located at the rear side of the rotating roller 3. The active roller 1 31 is rotatably matched with the machine body 1 and slides longitudinally relative to the machine body 1. Two longitudinal slide grooves 13 are provided on the machine body 1. A slider 1 311 is fixed at each end of the length of the active roller 1 31. The two sliders 1 311 are respectively slid longitudinally with the two slide grooves 13, and the slider 1 311 is also connected with an elastic member 1 in the slide groove 13. The elastic member 1 includes but is not limited to an elastic rod and a spring. The active roller 31 moves upward. During sliding, the elastic member 1 is squeezed and the elastic member 1 is made to store force. The movable roller 2 32 rotates with the machine body 1 and slides horizontally relative to the machine body 1. Two transverse slide grooves 2 14 are provided on the machine body 1. A slider 2 321 is fixed at each end of the length of the movable roller 2 32. The two sliders 2 321 slide horizontally with the two slide grooves 2 14 respectively. The slider 2 321 is connected with the elastic member 2 in the slide groove 2 14. The elastic member 2 includes but is not limited to an elastic rod and a spring. When the movable roller 2 32 slides in the direction close to the cutting member 11, the elastic member 2 is squeezed and the elastic member 2 is made to store force. The transmission belt 33 is simultaneously sleeved on the rotating roller 3, the movable roller 1 31 and the movable roller 2 32. A plurality of limit blocks 331 are movably provided on the transmission belt 33. Each limit block 331 elastically contacts with the medicinal material at the end of the conveying mechanism. The limit block 331 is deformed by extrusion. The limit block 331 can be made of a deformable material, and the material of the limit block 331 can be rubber.

[0031] The medicinal material is placed at the conveying start end of the conveyor belt 2, and moves with the conveyor belt 2 toward the direction close to the cutting piece 11. When it moves to the conveying end of the conveyor belt 2, the medicinal material squeezes the transmission belt 33 and the movable roller 31 between the conveyor belt 2 and the transmission belt 33. The movable roller 31 moves upward under the squeezing action of the medicinal material and squeezes the elastic member 1 to store force. The movable roller 31 presses the medicinal material at the conveying end of the conveyor belt 2 under the elastic force of the elastic member 1, thereby increasing the stability of the medicinal material cutting process and reducing the movement of the medicinal material. Because the shape of the medicinal material is relatively irregular, the transmission belt 33 The limit blocks 331 near the movable roller 1 31 extend into the gaps between the medicinal materials to fill the gaps between the medicinal materials, further reducing the shaking of the medicinal materials in the horizontal direction. As the medicinal materials are cut, the movable roller 1 31 always abuts against the upper end of the medicinal materials to keep the medicinal materials in a compressed state, thereby ensuring the stability of the medicinal materials during the entire slicing operation and improving the consistency of the medicinal material slicing operation and the slicing quality. Since the length of the transmission belt 33 is fixed, the movable roller 2 32 slides relative to the body 1 to keep the transmission belt 33 in a tensioned state when the movable roller 1 31 slides.

[0032] A blanking piece 12 is also provided on the lower side of the cutting piece 11. The blanking piece 12 is in the shape of an inclined plate. The sliced ​​medicinal materials fall on the blanking piece 12. The sliced ​​medicinal materials slide on the cutting piece 11 to the lower end of the cutting piece 11 and are collected by the operator. The blanking piece 12 is inclined downward in a direction away from the cutting piece 11.

[0033] In order to further facilitate the sliding of the sliced ​​medicinal materials relative to the blanking piece 12 and reduce the adhesion of the medicinal materials on the surface of the blanking piece 12, the blanking piece 12 can slide longitudinally relative to the machine body 1, and the blanking piece 12 is elastically connected to the machine body 1. The blanking piece 12 can be specifically connected to the machine body 1 through a spring. Any slider 311 is connected to a striking rod 312, and the striking rod 312 is in active contact with the blanking piece 12. After a batch of medicinal materials are sliced, the movable roller 31 moves downward under the action of the elastic member 1, and the striking rod 312 presses the blanking piece 12 downward and makes the spring accumulate force. After the subsequent medicinal materials are loaded, the movable roller 31 is squeezed upward again, and the striking rod 312 is separated from the blanking piece 12. The blanking piece 12 bounces upward under the elastic force of the spring and throws the medicinal materials upward, so that the medicinal materials are separated from the blanking piece 12, which is convenient for the blanking operation of the medicinal materials.

[0034] When the cutting piece 11 is cutting the medicinal materials, some medicinal material slices may adhere to the blade of the cutting piece 11. In order to facilitate the separation of the medicinal material slices from the cutting piece 11, any slider 2 321 is connected to a movable rod 322, and the movable rod 322 is in active contact with the cutting piece 11. When a batch of medicinal materials is cut, the movable roller 1 31 moves downward and pulls the movable roller 2 32 toward the cutting piece 11 through the transmission belt 33. The movable rod 322 taps the cutting piece 11 to promote the medicinal material slices adhered to the blade of the cutting piece 11 to fall relative to the cutting piece 11.

[0035] The rotary disc medicine cutting machine provided by the present invention improves the stability during the medicinal material cutting process, reduces the shaking or displacement of the medicinal material during the cutting process, improves the consistency of the thickness of the medicinal material slices, and increases the flatness of the medicinal material slices, thereby ensuring the quality of the medicinal material slices.
