Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of slicers, and in particular to a traditional Chinese medicine slicer. Background Art

[0002] Chinese medicine slicer, also known as medicine cutting machine, is a mechanical device specially used for slicing Chinese medicinal materials. Its main function is to cut Chinese medicinal materials into uniform slices for better decoction, tea making or other medicinal uses. Compared with the traditional manual slicing method, the Chinese medicine slicer can greatly improve the slicing efficiency, while ensuring that the shape and thickness of the slices are more consistent, reducing loss and waste. The working principle of the Chinese medicine slicer is relatively simple. It mainly uses the contact between the material and the sharp blade of the slicer. When the blade rotates continuously, the material is cut into slices according to a certain proportion by external force.

[0003] A Chinese patent with authorization announcement number CN113199512B discloses a slicing device that can cut Chinese medicine at high speed and stably. The patent includes a base, a fixed axis, and a rotating barrel. The rotating barrel is rotatably provided on the upper side of the base, a fixed axis is provided on the upper side of the base in the middle of the rotating barrel, a cleaning chamber is provided in the middle of the rotating barrel, and at least two cutting chambers are provided on the side walls of the cleaning chamber.

[0004] The above patent increases the moment of inertia of cutting by setting a rotatable rotating barrel and a non-rotatable fixed shaft, and setting the distribution of the cutter in the fixed shaft. Since the rotating barrel is rotatable, the cut Chinese medicine tends to move outward under the action of inertia, and the Chinese medicine will be separated from the surface of the cutter, avoiding the Chinese medicine sticking to the surface of the cutter and causing the cutter to get stuck. The above patent also sets two cutting heads at the end of the cutting tool, which can be switched according to the physical properties of the Chinese medicine. When the Chinese medicine is relatively soft, an ordinary blade can be used, which is not easy to get stuck. When the Chinese medicine is relatively hard, a saw blade can be used, and the cutting speed is faster.

[0005] However, the blade of the above patent is prone to get stuck when processing harder materials. Although the serrated blade can cut hard materials, it will produce a large amount of powder, which will waste materials and pollute the environment. Summary of the invention

[0006] The invention provides a traditional Chinese medicine slicer, aiming to solve the problem of low cleaning efficiency in the related art.

[0007] The Chinese medicine slicer of the present invention comprises: a frame, a cutting knife, and a clamping component; A rotating shaft is rotatably arranged in the frame body, a connecting rod is arranged at the bottom of the rotating shaft, one end of the connecting rod is connected to the rotating shaft, and the other end of the connecting rod is connected to the cutter; The clamping assembly includes a sliding seat, a rotating seat, a rotating mechanism and a clamping piece. The sliding seat is slidably fitted in the frame and connected to the frame through a first elastic piece. The sliding seat can move radially along the frame. The rotating seat is rotatably fitted in the sliding seat. The rotating mechanism is used to drive the rotating seat to rotate. There are two clamping pieces, which are symmetrically distributed in the rotating seat.

[0008] Beneficial effect: the material is fixed in the rotating seat by the clamping part, and the rotating shaft drives the cutter to rotate around the rotating shaft when it rotates. When the cutter and the material are stopped, the cutter can cut the material. If the material is a hard material and the cutter cannot directly cut the material, the cutter will push the material to move outward along the radial direction of the frame, driving the sliding seat to move outward. While the sliding seat moves outward, it drives the rotating seat to rotate through the rotating mechanism. The rotating seat drives the material to rotate through the clamping part. During the rotation of the material, the cutter can perform circular cutting on the material.

[0009] Preferably, the rotating mechanism includes a rotating frame, a rotating gear, a friction wheel and a belt. The rotating frame is located next to the sliding seat and rotates with the sliding seat. The rotating gear is fixedly connected to the rotating frame. A driving tooth groove is provided in the frame body. The rotating gear meshes with the driving tooth groove. The friction wheels are distributed on the frame body at intervals along the circumference of the frame body. One end of the belt frictionally cooperates with the friction wheel, and the other end thereof frictionally cooperates with the rotating seat.

[0010] Preferably, the rotating frame is provided with a plurality of sliding grooves spaced apart along its circumference, the sliding grooves extend radially along the frame body, the friction wheel is slidably fitted in the sliding grooves, the top and bottom ends of the friction wheel are respectively provided with levers, the frame body is slidably fitted with a first slider and a second slider above and below the friction wheel respectively, the first slider and the second slider are both frustum-shaped, and the side walls of the two can stop against the corresponding levers, the frame body is provided with two symmetrically distributed limit blocks, the two limit blocks form a trumpet-shaped structure, the first slider and the second slider can respectively stop against the corresponding limit blocks.

[0011] The effect is that when the sliding seat moves outward, the rotating frame and the sliding seat move outward synchronously, the first slider and the second slider move along the corresponding limit blocks respectively, the first slider and the second slider approach each other and squeeze the corresponding shifting rod, the shifting rod moves along the corresponding first slider or the second slider, and the friction wheel moves outward along the sliding groove, so that the diameter of the active end of the belt increases, thereby increasing the rotation speed of the rotating seat, and then increasing the rotation speed of the material, and improving the circular cutting efficiency.

[0012] Preferably, an elastic telescopic rod is provided on the sliding seat, and the rotating frame is rotatably engaged with the elastic telescopic rod. The elastic telescopic rod applies a thrust to the rotating frame in a direction away from the sliding seat, so that the friction wheel is in close contact with the belt.

[0013] The effect is that the elastic telescopic rod always applies an elastic force to the rotating frame in a direction away from the sliding seat, so that the two ends of the belt are respectively in close contact with the rotating seat by friction force, thereby preventing the belt from loosening.

[0014] Preferably, a positioning plate is further provided at the bottom of the frame, a gap is provided between the positioning plate and the frame, and the cutter is located between the positioning plate and the frame.

[0015] The effect is that when the material extends into the rotating seat, its bottom end stops against the positioning plate, and the positioning plate is used to position the material and prevent the material from escaping from the clamping assembly.

[0016] Preferably, an adjusting rod is provided in the frame, the bottom end of the adjusting rod is fixedly connected to the positioning plate, the adjusting rod and the frame are threadedly matched, and the height of the positioning plate can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting rod.

[0017] The effect is that the height of the positioning plate can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting rod, thereby adjusting the thickness of the slice.

[0018] Preferably, the two clamping members are both slidably matched with the rotating seat, and each of the clamping members is connected to the rotating seat via a second elastic member.

[0019] Preferably, the clamping surfaces of the two clamping members both have an arc-shaped groove, and the arc-shaped groove can fit with the side wall of the material.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: According to the Chinese medicine slicing machine of the present invention, the material is fixed in the rotating seat by the clamping part, and the rotating shaft drives the cutter to rotate around the rotating shaft when rotating. When the cutter and the material are stopped, the cutter can cut the material. If the material is a hard material and the cutter cannot directly cut the material, the cutter will push the material to move outward along the radial direction of the frame, driving the sliding seat to move outward. While the sliding seat moves outward, it drives the rotating seat to rotate through the rotating mechanism. The rotating seat drives the material to rotate through the clamping part. During the rotation of the material, the cutter can perform ring cutting on the material, so that the cutter can cut hard materials. At the same time, no powder will be generated during the cutting process. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0029] 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.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the Chinese medicine slicer of the present invention comprises: a frame 1, a cutting knife 4 and a clamping assembly.

[0031] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a rotating shaft 2 is rotatably fitted on the frame body 1, a connecting rod 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 2, a cutter 4 is rotatably fitted on the connecting rod 3, a first driving member 5 is provided on the frame body 1, the first driving member 5 is used to drive the rotating shaft 2 to rotate, a plurality of matching grooves are provided on the circumferential side of the frame body 1 and are distributed at intervals along its circumference, and a clamping assembly is provided in each matching groove.

[0032] like Figure 1As shown, a support ring 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame 1, and a support column 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support ring 16. A plurality of support columns 17 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the support ring 16, and the support columns 17 can be supported on a desktop or other platforms.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the driving member is a motor, which is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1. The output end of the driving member is provided with a first gear 51. The top of the rotating shaft 2 is fixedly connected with a second gear 21. The first gear 51 is meshed with the second gear 21. The driving member can drive the rotating shaft 2 to rotate. The rotating shaft 2 drives the connecting rod 3 to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft 2. The cutter 4 rotates synchronously with the connecting rod 3.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 6As shown, the clamping assembly includes a sliding seat 6, a rotating seat 7, a rotating mechanism 10 and a clamping member 8. The matching groove extends along the radial direction of the frame 1, and a guide groove 11 is provided on the side wall thereof. The side wall of the sliding seat 6 can slide and match with the side wall of the guide groove 11. The side wall of the guide groove 11 can limit the sliding seat 6 to prevent it from moving up and down and escaping from the matching groove. The sliding seat 6 is elastically connected to the frame 1 through a first elastic member 9, and the first elastic member 9 is a spring. The rotating seat 7 is rotatably matched in the sliding seat 6. There are two clamping members 8, which are symmetrically distributed in the rotating seat 7. Each clamping member 8 is elastically connected to the rotating seat 7 through a second elastic member, and the second elastic member is a spring. The clamping member 8 can clamp materials of different diameters. The clamping surface of the clamping member 8 has an arc groove, and the arc groove can fit with the side wall of the material, thereby increasing the contact area between the clamping member 8 and the material and improving the clamping effect. The rotating mechanism 10 includes a rotating frame 101, a rotating gear, a friction wheel 103 and a belt 104. An elastic telescopic rod 61 is provided on the sliding seat 6. The rotating frame 101 is rotatably engaged with the elastic telescopic rod 61. The rotating frame 101 is located in the matching groove and on the outside of the sliding seat 6, and the two are spaced apart. The rotating gear is fixedly connected to the rotating frame 101, and a driving tooth groove is provided on the inner wall of the matching groove, and the rotating gear meshes with the driving tooth groove. The rotating frame 101 is provided with a plurality of sliding grooves spaced along its circumferential direction, and the sliding grooves extend along the radial direction of the rotating frame 101. A friction wheel 103 is slidably matched in each sliding groove, and a lever 1031 is provided at the top and bottom ends of the friction wheel 103. The lever 1031 is fixedly connected to the friction wheel 103. A first slider 105 and a second slider 106 are slidably matched on the rotating frame 101. The first slider 105 is located above the friction wheel 103, and the second slider 106 is located below the friction force. The first slider 105 and the second slider 106 are both frustum-shaped and symmetrically distributed. The small diameter ends of the two are close to the friction wheel 103, and the levers 1031 at the top and bottom ends of the friction force can respectively stop against the side walls of the first slider 105 and the second slider 106. Two symmetrically distributed limit blocks 12 are arranged on the side wall of the matching groove. The two limit blocks 12 are tilted to form a trumpet-shaped structure. The first slider 105 and the second slider 106 can respectively stop against the corresponding limit blocks 12. One end of the belt 104 is frictionally matched with the friction force, and the other end is frictionally matched with the rotating seat 7. The elastic telescopic rod 61 is always in a compressed state and applies an outward elastic force to the rotating frame 101, so that the two ends of the belt 104 can be respectively tightly attached to the friction wheel 103 and the rotating seat 7 to prevent the belt 104 from loosening. The belt 104 applies inward pressure to the friction wheel 103, so that the levers 1031 at the top and bottom of the friction wheel 103 are tightly attached to the first slider 105 and the second slider 106.

[0035] When the sliding seat 6 moves outward, the driving gear 102 moves along the driving tooth groove. Since the driving gear 102 is meshed with the driving tooth groove, the driving gear 102 rotates during the movement, the rotating frame 101 rotates synchronously with the driving gear 102, and the friction wheel 103 rotates around the axis of the rotating frame 101, and drives the belt 104 to rotate under the action of friction, and the belt 104 drives the rotating seat 7 to rotate. In the process of the sliding seat 6 moving outward, the first slider 105 and the second slider 106 move along the two limit blocks 12 respectively, thereby pushing the first slider 105 and the second slider 106 to approach each other. The first slider 105 and the second slider 106 approach each other so that the two levers 1031 move along the side walls of the first slider 105 and the second slider 106 respectively, so that the friction wheel 103 moves outward along the sliding groove, the diameter of the active end of the belt 104 increases, and the elastic telescopic rod 61 contracts, thereby increasing the rotation speed of the rotating seat 7.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, an adjusting rod 13 is provided inside the frame 1, and a fixing rod 14 is provided on the top of the frame 1. The adjusting rod 13 and the fixing rod 14 are threadedly matched. The adjusting rod 13 passes through the rotating shaft 2 and is rotatably matched with the rotating shaft 2. A positioning plate 15 is connected to the bottom end thereof. There is a gap between the positioning plate 15 and the bottom surface of the frame 1, and the cutter 4 is located between the positioning plate 15 and the frame 1. The height of the positioning plate 15 can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting rod 13, and then the size of the gap between the positioning plate 15 and the frame 1 can be adjusted. When the material extends into the clamping assembly, the bottom end thereof stops against the positioning plate 15. The positioning plate 15 is used to position the material, and can also prevent the material from escaping from the clamping assembly when the clamping member 8 fails.

[0037] According to the Chinese medicine slicer of the embodiment of the present invention, the material is inserted into the rotating seat 7 so that the bottom end of the material stops against the positioning plate 15. The thickness of the slice can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the positioning plate 15. The second elastic member pushes the two clamping members 8 to approach each other and clamps the material. Then the driving member drives the cutter 4 to rotate. When cutting hard materials, when the cutter 4 stops against the material, the material is difficult to cut, so the cutter 4 will push the material to move outward, and then push the sliding seat 6 to move outward. During the outward movement of the sliding seat 6, the first elastic member 9 is stretched. At the same time, the rotating mechanism 10 drives the rotating seat 7 to rotate. The material rotates synchronously with the rotating seat 7 under the action of the clamping member 8, so that the material rotates. The cutter 4 can perform circular cutting on the material. At the same time, because the rotation speed of the sliding seat 6 gradually increases during the outward movement, the material rotates faster and faster, thereby improving the circular cutting efficiency. When the cutter 4 passes over the material, the slicing is completed. At this time, the sliding seat 6 moves inward and resets under the elastic force of the first elastic member 9. During this process, the limit block 12 releases the limit on the first slider 105 and the second slider 106, and the elastic telescopic rod 61 stretches and pushes the rotating frame 101 away from the sliding seat 6, thereby squeezing the friction wheel 103 through the belt 104, so that the friction wheel 103 moves inward and resets, and the friction wheel 103 squeezes the first slider 105 and the second slider 106 away from each other, so that the rotating mechanism 10 is reset.
