Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine slicing, and relates to an adjustable medicine cutter for fine processing of traditional Chinese medicine. Background Art

[0002] In the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing, the cutting of medicinal materials is a basic and crucial task. Although the traditional manual medicine cutting method can ensure a certain cutting quality, due to its low efficiency, high labor intensity, and difficulty in ensuring the consistency of each cutting, it directly affects the subsequent use effect of the medicinal materials. With the development of technology, the application of mechanized and automated equipment has gradually spread to the traditional Chinese medicine processing industry, which not only improves production efficiency but also enhances product quality.

[0003] When the existing traditional Chinese medicine cutting device cuts traditional Chinese medicine, it usually uses a vertical cutting method with the cutting knife going straight up and down. The overall surface area of the traditional Chinese medicine cut in this way is relatively small, and the contact surface with water during the decocting process is also relatively small, which is not conducive to the dissolution of the effective components in the medicinal materials. In addition, when trying to cut thin slices, since the bottom area of the cut part is small and the force is uneven, only an oblique cutting method can be used for cutting. However, most of the existing devices use a vertical cutting method and it is difficult to achieve oblique cutting, so the overall applicable range is small. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides an adjustable medicine cutter for fine processing of traditional Chinese medicine.

[0005] The technical implementation solution of the present invention is: an adjustable medicine cutter for fine processing of traditional Chinese medicine, including a frame, side plates, an electric belt transmission group, a cutting mechanism, and a pressing mechanism. There are two frames, and side plates are connected to the tops of both frames. An electric belt transmission group is installed between the lower parts of the two side plates. A cutting mechanism for cutting medicinal materials and a pressing mechanism for pressing the medicinal materials are provided on the side plates. The cutting mechanism includes an arc-shaped guide rail, a cylinder, a guide track, a mounting shaft, a mounting plate, a locking structure, and a cutting knife. Arc-shaped guide rails are connected to the tops of both side plates. The lower part of the arc-shaped guide rail is rotatably connected to the guide track. A cylinder is installed at the lower part of the guide track. A mounting shaft is slidably connected to the guide track. The telescopic rod of the cylinder is connected to the mounting shaft. A mounting plate is installed between the two mounting shafts. A cutting knife is installed on the mounting plate. A locking structure is provided between the guide track and the arc-shaped guide rail.

[0006] In one embodiment, the locking structure includes a guide shaft and a locking nut. A jack is opened at the upper part of the guide track. The guide shaft can pass through the arc-shaped guide rail and the jack, and the locking nut can be screwed onto the guide shaft through threads.

[0007] In one embodiment, the pressing mechanism includes a guide rod, a mounting frame, a first elastic member, and an extrusion belt conveyor group. Guide rods are connected to both sides of the tops of the two side plates. Mounting frames are slidably connected to the guide rods on both sides. An extrusion belt conveyor group is installed between the two mounting frames. A first elastic member is connected between the mounting frame and the guide rod.

[0008] In one embodiment, it further includes an extrusion mechanism. The extrusion mechanism includes a sliding rod, a bracket, a rubber extrusion roller, and a second elastic member. Two sliding rods are slidably connected to the mounting plate. A bracket is connected to the bottom of the sliding rod. A second elastic member is connected between the sliding rod and the mounting plate. A rubber extrusion roller is connected between the lower parts of the two brackets.

[0009] In one embodiment, it further includes a filtering mechanism. The filtering mechanism includes a filter screen, a transmission component, and a reciprocating lead screw. A filter screen is slidably connected between the lower parts of the two side plates. The filter screen is inclined. Reciprocating lead screws are connected to both sides of the filter screen. A transmission component is provided between the reciprocating lead screw and the electric belt conveyor group.

[0010] In one embodiment, the transmission component includes a large belt pulley, a small belt pulley, and a transmission belt. Small belt pulleys are threadedly connected to the two reciprocating lead screws. Large belt pulleys are connected to both sides of the electric belt conveyor group. A transmission belt is wound between the large belt pulley and the small belt pulley.

[0011] In one embodiment, it further includes a collection box. A collection box is connected between the lower parts of the two side plates. The collection box is located below the filter screen.

[0012] In one embodiment, it further includes a fixed airbag. A plurality of fixed airbags are evenly spaced and connected to the electric belt conveyor group.

[0013] The present invention has the following advantages: 1. During the process of slicing medicinal materials, the present invention can slice the medicinal materials vertically through the cutting knife. When it is necessary to adjust the slicing angle, the angle of the cutting knife can also be adjusted by rotating the guiding track, so that the cutting knife can slice the medicinal materials obliquely, thereby achieving the effects of vertical cutting and oblique cutting at the same time, and having a wider application range.

[0014] 2.

Detailed implementation manners

[0027] The above solution will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and not for limiting the scope of the present application. The implementation conditions adopted in the embodiments can be further adjusted according to the conditions of specific manufacturers, and the implementation conditions not specified are usually those in conventional experiments.

[0028] An adjustable medicine cutting machine for fine processing of traditional Chinese medicine, as Figures 1-6As shown in the figure, it includes an organic frame 1, side plates 2, an electric belt conveyor group 3, a cutting mechanism, and a pressing mechanism. There are two frames 1. Side plates 2 are connected to the tops of the two frames 1. An electric belt conveyor group 3 is installed between the lower parts of the two side plates 2. A cutting mechanism for cutting medicinal materials and a pressing mechanism for pressing medicinal materials are provided on the side plates 2.

[0029] As Figures 2-6 shown in the figure, the cutting mechanism includes an arc-shaped guide rail 41, a cylinder 42, a guide track 43, a mounting shaft 45, a mounting plate 46, a locking structure, and a cutting knife 47. Arc-shaped guide rails 41 are connected to the left sides of the tops of the two side plates 2. A guide track 43 is rotatably connected to the lower part of the arc-shaped guide rail 41. A cylinder 42 is installed at the lower part of the guide track 43. A mounting shaft 45 is slidably connected to the guide track 43. The telescopic rod of the cylinder 42 is connected to the mounting shaft 45, so that the operation of the telescopic rod of the cylinder 42 can drive the mounting shaft 45 to move up and down. A mounting plate 46 is installed between the two mounting shafts 45. A cutting knife 47 is installed on the mounting plate 46. A locking structure is provided between the guide track 43 and the arc-shaped guide rail 41, and the locking structure is used to lock the guide track 43.

[0030] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown in the figure, the locking structure includes a guide shaft 44 and a locking nut 48. A jack is opened in the upper part of the guide track 43. The guide shaft 44 can pass through the arc-shaped guide rail 41 and the jack. The locking nut 48 can be screwed onto the guide shaft 44 through threads, so that the guide shaft 44 is locked by the locking nut 48, making the guide shaft 44 press against the arc-shaped guide rail 41 and fixing the guide track 43 on the arc-shaped guide rail 41.

[0031] As Figure 2 shown in the figure, the pressing mechanism includes guide rods 51, mounting frames 52, a first elastic member 53, and an extrusion belt conveyor group 54. Guide rods 51 are connected to the left and right sides of the tops of the two side plates 2. Mounting frames 52 are slidably connected to the front and rear guide rods 51. An extrusion belt conveyor group 54 is installed between the two mounting frames 52. A first elastic member 53 is connected between the mounting frame 52 and the guide rod 51, and the first elastic member 53 is a compression spring.

[0032] When it is necessary to cut traditional Chinese medicine, this cutting machine can be used for cutting. When cutting, first place the medicinal materials on the electric belt conveyor group 3, and convey the medicinal materials through the electric belt conveyor group 3. During the conveying process, the upper part of the medicinal materials will contact the bottom of the extrusion belt conveyor group 54, thereby pushing the extrusion belt conveyor group 54 upward, causing the mounting bracket 52 to move upward synchronously. At this time, the first elastic member 53 will be compressed. After the first elastic member 53 is stretched, it will apply a downward pressure to the mounting bracket 52 and the extrusion belt conveyor group 54, so that the extrusion belt conveyor group 54 presses the medicinal materials to assist in conveying the medicinal materials. When part of the medicinal materials move to the left side of the cutting knife 47, the telescopic rod of the cylinder 42 can be controlled to repeatedly expand and contract to drive the mounting shaft 45 to move up and down, thereby driving the mounting plate 46 and the cutting knife 47 to move up and down. When the cutting knife 47 moves downward, it can cut the traditional Chinese medicine. When the cutting knife 47 moves upward, the electric belt conveyor group 3 continues to convey the traditional Chinese medicine to ensure that the cutting knife 47 can also cut the traditional Chinese medicine when it moves downward next time. Repeating like this, this cutting machine can be used to cut traditional Chinese medicine. During the cutting process, if it is necessary to adjust the cutting angle, the locking nut 48 can be loosened so that the guide shaft 44 no longer abuts against the arc-shaped guide rail 41. Then, pull the guide rail 43 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the mounting plate 46 and the cutting knife 47. When the guide rail 43 rotates, it will drive the guide shaft 44 to slide along the arc-shaped guide rail 41. After the cutting knife 47 is adjusted to the appropriate angle, lock the locking nut 48 so that the guide shaft 44 abuts against the arc-shaped guide rail 41, thereby fixing the guide rail 43 on the arc-shaped guide rail 41. When the adjusted cutting knife 47 cuts the traditional Chinese medicine, it can cut the traditional Chinese medicine obliquely, increasing the surface area of the medicinal materials, and the cutting scope achieved is wider.

[0033] As Figure 7 shown, it further includes an extrusion mechanism. The extrusion mechanism includes a sliding rod 61, a bracket 62, a rubber extrusion roller 63, and a second elastic member 64. Two symmetrically arranged sliding rods 61 are slidably connected to the right side of the mounting plate 46. The sliding rod 61 can slide up and down along the mounting plate 46. The bottom of the sliding rod 61 is connected to a bracket 62. A second elastic member 64 is connected between the sliding rod 61 and the mounting plate 46. The second elastic member 64 is a compression spring. A rubber extrusion roller 63 is connected between the lower parts of the two brackets 62. The rubber extrusion roller 63 can press the traditional Chinese medicine during cutting to fix the traditional Chinese medicine and prevent the tail of the traditional Chinese medicine from tilting during cutting, resulting in a change in the cutting position, ensuring the accuracy during the cutting process. The bottom height of the rubber extrusion roller 63 is slightly lower than the bottom of the cutting knife 47.

[0034] When the cutting knife 47 moves downward, it will drive the rubber extrusion roller 63 to move downward. When the rubber extrusion roller 63 moves downward, it will first contact the medicinal materials. At this time, when the mounting plate 46 continues to move downward, the second elastic member 64 will be compressed. The second elastic member 64 can apply a downward pressure to the bracket 62 and the rubber extrusion roller 63, so that the rubber extrusion roller 63 presses the medicinal materials tightly. When cutting, the rubber extrusion roller 63 presses the medicinal materials tightly, which can prevent the position of the medicinal materials from shifting and ensure the stability during the cutting process.

[0035] As Figures 8-10 shown, it further includes a filtering mechanism. The filtering mechanism includes a filter screen 71, a transmission assembly and a reciprocating lead screw 73. A filter screen 71 is slidably connected between the lower parts on the left sides of the two side plates 2. The filter screen 71 is inclined. The filter screen 71 is located below the left side of the electric belt conveyor group 3. The filter screen 71 can slide back and forth along the side plates 2. Reciprocating lead screws 73 are connected to both the front and rear sides of the filter screen 71. A transmission assembly is provided between the reciprocating lead screw 73 and the electric belt conveyor group 3.

[0036] As Figures 8-10 shown, the transmission assembly includes a large belt pulley 721, a small belt pulley 722 and a transmission belt 723. The small belt pulley 722 is connected to the reciprocating lead screw 73 by a thread. Large belt pulleys 721 are connected to both the front and rear sides of the transmission shaft on the left side of the electric belt conveyor group 3. A transmission belt 723 is wound between the large belt pulley 721 and the small belt pulley 722, so that during the operation of the electric belt conveyor group 3, the small belt pulley 722 can be driven to rotate by the large belt pulley 721 and the transmission belt 723. When the small belt pulley 722 rotates, it can drive the reciprocating lead screw 73 to move back and forth through the thread, so as to drive the filter screen 71 to vibrate and assist the filter screen 71 to screen the traditional Chinese medicine.

[0037] As Figure 8 shown, it further includes a collection box 8. A collection box 8 is connected between the lower parts on the left sides of the two side plates 2. The collection box 8 is located below the filter screen 71, so that the traditional Chinese medicine residues sorted by the filter screen 71 fall into the collection box 8 and are collected through the collection box 8.

[0038] The cut medicinal materials and medicinal material powders will fall on the filter screen 71. When the electric belt conveyor group 3 rotates, the small belt pulley 722 can be driven to rotate by the large belt pulley 721 and the transmission belt 723. When the small belt pulley 722 rotates, it can drive the reciprocating lead screw 73 to move back and forth through the thread, thereby driving the filter screen 71 to vibrate back and forth, assisting in screening out the medicinal powders. The screened medicinal powders will fall into the collection box 8, and the medicinal powders are collected through the collection box 8. In this way, the device can be used to separate the medicinal powders and tablets generated during the process of cutting traditional Chinese medicine.

[0039] As Figure 11As shown, it further includes a fixed airbag 9. A plurality of fixed airbags 9 are evenly and spacedly connected to the electric belt conveyor group 3. During the transportation of traditional Chinese medicine, due to the inconsistent sizes of traditional Chinese medicinal materials, some smaller traditional Chinese medicinal materials are difficult to contact with the extrusion belt conveyor group 54. However, through the setting of the fixed airbag 9, the fixed airbag 9 can be used to contact the smaller-sized traditional Chinese medicinal materials, avoiding the situation that smaller-sized traditional Chinese medicinal materials are difficult to be tightly conveyed.

All equivalent replacements made within the principles of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention. The content not elaborated in detail in the present invention belongs to the well-known prior art of those skilled in the relevant technical field.
