A slit is made, and the peeling electric push rod 50 is energized, thereby driving the peeling knife 51 to move into the clamping and conveying cavity 9, so that the peeling knife 51 is inserted into the cut slit. The separation motor is started, thereby driving the double-headed screw 49 to rotate, thereby driving the nut blocks 48 to move away from each other, thereby driving the peeling electric push rod 50 to move, thereby driving the peeling knife 51 to peel off the cut skin.

[0031] In the working process of this invention, the medicinal materials are placed into the feed inlet 2, and the drive motor 36 is started, thereby driving the supply pulley shaft 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the supply pulley 7 to rotate, thereby driving the supply transmission belt 5 to move, thus causing the medicinal materials to move. Due to the action of the limiting baffle 6, the medicinal materials pass horizontally, and one can pass through the lower side of the limiting baffle 6 without congestion. The medicinal materials are conveyed to the clamping conveyor transmission belt 10 by the supply transmission belt 5. The rotation of the supply pulley shaft 8 drives the main transmission pulley 38 to rotate. The main transmission pulley 38 and the driven transmission pulley 39 are connected by the transmission belt 37, thereby driving the lower clamping conveyor pulley shaft 33 to rotate. This causes the driving gear 40 to rotate, meshing with the driven gear 64, thereby causing the upper clamping conveyor pulley shaft 33 to rotate. The rotation of the clamping conveyor pulley shaft 33 drives the clamping pulley 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the clamping conveyor belt 10 to move. This allows the two clamping conveyor belts 10 to clamp and convey the medicinal materials. The rotation of the upper clamping conveyor pulley shaft 33 also drives the first pulley 47 to rotate. The first pulley 47 and the second pulley 45 are connected by a belt 46, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 44 to rotate, thereby driving the first separating bevel gear 65 to rotate. The first separating bevel gear 65 meshes with the second separating bevel gear 67. The mechanism is activated, causing the cutting shaft 34 to rotate, which in turn causes the separating blade 13 to rotate and cut the epidermis of the medicinal material. Power is supplied to the peeling electric push rod 50, causing the peeling blade 51 to move into the clamping and conveying cavity 9, where it inserts into the cut. The separating motor is then activated, causing the double-ended lead screw 49 to rotate, which in turn causes the nut blocks 48 to move away from each other, thus moving the peeling electric push rod 50 and the peeling blade 51 to peel off the cut epidermis. By controlling the extension of the peeling electric push rod 50, complete peeling of the medicinal material's epidermis is achieved. The supply pulley shaft 8 rotates, which in turn drives the worm gear 61 to rotate. The worm gear 61 meshes with the worm wheel 62, thereby driving the worm wheel shaft 63 to rotate, which in turn drives the driving bevel gear 59 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven bevel gear 58 to rotate, which in turn drives the bevel gear shaft 57 to rotate, which in turn drives the first bevel gear 55 to rotate. The first bevel gear 55 meshes with the second bevel gear 54, thereby driving the cutting shaft 53 to rotate, which in turn drives the cutting tool 16 to rotate, thus achieving the cutting of the medicinal materials into pieces of the same size. The monitoring camera 52 detects different positions of the medicinal materials and sends signals to the second sorting electric shaft 43 and the first sorting electric shaft 71, causing the second sorting electric shaft 43 and the first sorting electric shaft 71 to perform corresponding movements.To facilitate different sorting processes, when collecting samples from both ends of the head, the first sorting electric shaft 71 is energized, causing the first sorting plate 41 to rotate. The second sorting electric shaft 43 is energized and rotates, causing the second sorting plate 70 to rotate. When the second sorting plate 70 and the first sorting plate 41 move in a line, the first sorting plate 41 contacts the guide frame 42, sorting the head portion. When the second sorting plate 70 contacts the guide frame 42, sorting the tail portion. When the first sorting plate 41 and the second sorting plate 70 approach each other, sorting the middle portion of the medicinal materials. After the medicinal materials enter the centrifuge drum 22, the centrifuge motor is started, causing the centrifuge gear shaft 20 to rotate, which in turn causes the centrifuge gear 19 to rotate. The centrifuge gear 19 meshes with the centrifuge ring rack 21, causing the centrifuge drum 22 to rotate, thus performing centrifugal separation. The auxiliary motor is then started, causing the stirring shaft 30 to rotate, which in turn causes the stirring rod 31 to rotate for stirring. This process separates the outer skin from the internal material, achieving better centrifugal separation and facilitating different collection methods. After centrifugation for a period of time, the electric rotating shaft is energized, causing the discharge baffle 69 to rotate, allowing the outer skin to be discharged through the discharge channel 68. The density of the outer skin is less than the mass of the internal material. Once the outer skin is discharged, the centrifugal motor is stopped, allowing the internal material of the medicinal material to be discharged through the discharge channel 68. The medicinal material enters the collection channel 24. The middle collection channel 24 is used to collect the middle part of the medicinal material, while the two side collection channels 24 are used to collect the head and tail parts, respectively. The collection motor is started, causing the collection rotating shaft 27 to rotate, which in turn causes the guide plate 26 to rotate. When the guide plate 26 is tilted towards the outer skin collection cavity 23, the outer skin enters the outer skin collection cavity 23 for collection. When the guide plate 26 is tilted towards the internal material collection cavity 25, the internal material of the medicinal material enters the internal material collection cavity 25 for collection.
