Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, specifically to a slicing device for tangerine peel. Background Technology

[0002] Citrus reticulata peel, a traditional Chinese medicine listed in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, has the effects of regulating qi and relieving chest congestion, drying dampness and resolving phlegm, relieving cough and eliminating food stagnation. It is widely used in Chinese herbal decoctions and prepared Chinese medicines. Its efficacy depends on the stable dissolution of active ingredients, and the physical form of the decoction pieces directly affects the release behavior during the decoction process and its consistency with clinical efficacy.

[0003] In actual production, the peel of Huajuhong (a type of tangerine peel) is tough, rich in dense fiber bundles and numerous oil cells, and its overall shape is irregular and nearly spherical. Directly slicing it crosswise using conventional slicing equipment results in crescent-shaped or arc-shaped thin slices, with the edge thickness significantly greater than the central area, leading to large thickness variations and making it difficult to meet the quality requirement of uniform slice thickness. These geometrically uneven slices exhibit significant differences in dissolution rates during decoction, causing batch-to-batch fluctuations in efficacy and affecting the reliability of clinical use.

[0004] In addition, during the cutting process, the moment the knife enters the fruit peel, it can easily cause stress mutations in the internal fiber bundles and oil cell structure, resulting in defects such as slice curling, edge tearing, edge chipping, or debris falling off. This not only reduces the yield, but may also lead to the loss of volatile components or surface contamination due to the rupture of oil cells, further affecting the appearance and internal quality of the slices.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention proposes a citrus peel slicing device to make up for and improve the shortcomings of the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a citrus peel slicing device, which can effectively solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0007] The technical implementation of this invention is as follows: A slicing device for Huajuhong (a type of tangerine peel) includes a support frame. A reciprocating screw is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the support frame. A pusher is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the reciprocating screw. The lower surface of the pusher is slidably connected to the upper surface of the support frame. A cutter is fixedly connected to one end of the reciprocating screw. An electric lifting frame is slidably connected to both sides of the upper surface of the support frame. A roller is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the electric lifting frame. Fixing members are symmetrically fixed to the upper surface of the support frame. A rotating cylinder is rotatably connected to the outer surface of each fixing member. Multiple hollow soft brushes are annularly fixed to the outer surface of the rotating cylinder. By pressing and rotating the rotating cylinder and the roller, radial extrusion force is applied to the Huajuhong peel, locally flattening it into an approximately elliptical or flat cross-section. This makes the cutting path of the cutter tend to be straight, significantly reducing the slice thickness deviation and improving batch-to-batch consistency.

[0008] More preferably, a water tank is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the bottom of the support, an inlet is connected to one side of the water tank, multiple steam pipes are connected to one end of the water tank, and the other end of the steam pipes is connected to one end of the fixing member. Multiple air outlets are opened in a ring on the outer surface of the rotating cylinder. A heating element is fixedly connected to the inner side of the water tank, and a waste box is detachably connected to one side of the water tank. By spraying water vapor through the rotating cylinder, low-temperature saturated steam can be applied to the surface of the orange-red material during the extrusion process, which moderately swells the fiber structure, improves its extensibility and reduces its shear strength, thereby making it easier to achieve stable flattening and forming.

[0009] More preferably, a first gear is rotatably connected to the outer surface of one of the steam pipes, one side of the first gear is fixedly connected to one end of one of the rotating cylinders, a motor is fixedly connected to one side of the upper surface of the support, a rotating rod is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor, a second gear is slidably connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod, a pulling member is slidably connected to one side of the upper surface of the support, one end of the pulling member is rotatably connected to the outer surface of one side of the second gear, and a belt is connected between the outer surface of one end of the rotating cylinder and the outer surface of one end of the roller cylinder. The power transmission path is dynamically controlled by switching the meshing state of the second gear, and the actions of the pushing member and the cutter are physically blocked during the extrusion stage, so that each process strictly follows the logic of shaping first, feeding then cutting.

[0010] More preferably, a guide frame is symmetrically fixedly connected to one side of the electric lifting frame, and a sliding groove is opened through the opposite sides of the guide frame. A sliding member is symmetrically slidably connected to one side of the upper surface of the support. The outer surface of one end of the sliding member is pressed into the inside of the sliding groove of the guide frame. A transmission wheel is rotatably connected to one side of the sliding member. The outer surfaces of the transmission wheels are pressed into the inner wall of the belt. The transmission wheels apply force to the belt, causing the roller and the rotating cylinder to rotate synchronously in the same direction and apply centripetal pressure, forming a stable three-point clamping constraint. This structure can automatically align the geometric axis of the orange peel with the center of the slicing station, achieving self-centering positioning.

[0011] More preferably, a protective cover is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the electric lifting frame, and sliding plates are symmetrically slidably connected to both sides of the protective cover. Rubber blocks are fixedly connected to the lower surface of each sliding plate. The protective cover and the sliding plates move downward to enclose and form a locally sealed chamber, effectively accumulating and maintaining a saturated steam environment, so that the surface of the orange-red is uniformly heated and wetted in a short time.

[0012] More preferably, multiple springs are fixedly sleeved on the outer surfaces of both sides of the protective cover, and the bottom end of the spring is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the bottom of the sliding plate. The spring is used to drive the sliding plate to reset and move.

[0013] More preferably, a flipping frame is rotatably connected to one end of the rubber block, and a roller is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the hollow soft brush, the roller being able to guide the orange peel.

[0014] More preferably, torsion springs are fixedly sleeved on the outer surfaces of the rubber blocks on their respective sides, and the torsion springs on their respective sides are fixedly connected to the two ends of the flipping frame. The torsion springs can drive the rollers to move and reset.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. This invention applies radial extrusion force to the peel of the tangerine peel by rotating a rotary drum and a roller, locally flattening it into an approximately elliptical or flat cross-section. This makes the cutting path of the cutter more linear, significantly reducing slice thickness deviation and improving batch-to-batch consistency. Simultaneously, this extrusion process can pre-release residual stress within the peel and compress the fiber structure, resulting in more uniform stress distribution during cutting. This effectively inhibits curling, tearing, and edge chipping, improving the integrity of the slices. Furthermore, the rotary drum surface has vents that can apply low-temperature saturated steam to the tangerine peel surface during extrusion, moderately swelling the fiber tissue, improving its ductility and reducing shear strength, thus facilitating stable flattening and shaping. Combined with a hollow soft brush on the rotary drum, which simultaneously contacts the tangerine peel surface during extrusion, it effectively removes adhering dust, oil, and debris, preventing impurities from contaminating the finished product and ensuring the cleanliness of the slices.

[0017] 2. This invention dynamically controls the power transmission path by switching the meshing state of the second gear. During the extrusion stage, it physically blocks the actions of the pushing component and the cutter, ensuring that each process strictly follows the logic of first shaping, then feeding, and then cutting. This mechanical interlocking mechanism avoids conflicts between multiple mechanisms and ensures that the subsequent steps are entered only after the extrusion is fully completed, significantly improving the reliability of the process and the stability of equipment operation.

[0018] 3. This invention applies force to the belt through the transmission wheel, causing the roller and the rotating cylinder to rotate synchronously in the same direction and apply centripetal pressure, forming a stable three-point clamping constraint. This structure can automatically align the geometric axis of the tangerine peel with the center of the slicing station, achieving self-centering positioning. At the same time, the extrusion pressure is evenly distributed along the curved surface of the peel, avoiding local stress concentration. While efficiently flattening and shaping, it protects the integrity of the oil cells and fiber structure, preventing surface depressions or tissue damage.

[0019] 4. This invention utilizes a protective cover and a sliding plate that move downwards to form a partially enclosed chamber. This effectively gathers and maintains a saturated steam environment, ensuring that the surface of the tangerine peel is uniformly heated and wetted within a short time, improving softening consistency and processing efficiency. This cover structure also constitutes a temporary closed protection zone, isolating external dust, microorganisms, and other contaminants, ensuring the cleanliness of the raw material surface after wetting. This provides a reliable prerequisite for subsequent high-quality slicing, effectively guaranteeing the hygiene and appearance quality of the final processed slices. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Next, we will combine the appendix Figures 1-5 A specific embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0028] Reference Appendix Figures 1-2A slicing device for dried tangerine peel includes a support 1. A reciprocating screw 11 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the support 1. A pusher 12 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the reciprocating screw 11. The lower surface of the pusher 12 is slidably connected to the upper surface of the support 1. The reciprocating screw 11 is used to drive the pusher 12 to move left and right. The pusher 12 is used to push the dried tangerine peel. A cutter 13 is fixedly connected to the left end of the reciprocating screw 11. The reciprocating screw 11 is used to drive the cutter 13 to rotate. The cutter 13 is used to slice the dried tangerine peel.

[0029] As described in the background section, the peel of Citrus reticulata peel is tough, rich in dense fiber bundles and numerous oil cells, and its overall shape is irregularly nearly spherical. Directly slicing it crosswise using conventional slicing equipment results in crescent-shaped or arc-shaped thin slices with significantly thicker edges than the central area, leading to large thickness variations and making it difficult to meet the quality requirement of uniform slice thickness. These geometrically uneven slices exhibit significant differences in dissolution rates during decoction, causing batch-to-batch fluctuations in efficacy and affecting the reliability of clinical use.

[0030] Reference Appendix Figure 1 and Figure 3 To address the issue that crescent-shaped or arc-shaped thin slices are difficult to meet the quality requirements for uniform thickness, this embodiment adopts the following technical solution: An electric lifting frame 2 is slidably connected to both sides of the upper surface of the support 1. A roller cylinder 21 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the electric lifting frame 2. The electric lifting frame 2 is used to drive the roller cylinder 21 to move up and down. The roller cylinder 21 is used to squeeze the surface of the tangerine peel. A fixing member 22 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support 1. A rotating cylinder 23 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of each fixing member 22. The outer surfaces of the rotating cylinders 23 are used to assist in squeezing the tangerine peel. Multiple hollow soft brushes 24 are circumferentially fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating cylinders 23. The hollow soft brushes 24 are used to clean the surface of the tangerine peel.

[0031] When slicing Citrus reticulata peel, the operator first places the peel in the gap between the rotating drum 23 and the roller drum 21. Then, the electric lifting frame 2 drives the roller drum 21 downwards, causing its outer surface to adhere to the surface of the peel. During the synchronous rotation of the roller drum 21 and the rotating drum 23, both apply radial extrusion force to the peel, locally flattening it into an approximately elliptical or flat cross-section. This shaping process makes the cutting path of the cutter 13 more linear, significantly reducing slice thickness deviation and improving batch-to-batch consistency. Simultaneously, the extrusion process pre-releases residual stress within the peel and compresses the fiber structure, resulting in more even stress distribution during subsequent cutting, effectively suppressing curling, tearing, and edge chipping, and improving the integrity of the slices.

[0032] In addition, the rotating cylinder 23 drives the hollow soft brush 24 to rotate synchronously. The hollow soft brush 24 continuously contacts the surface of the orange-red powder during the extrusion process, which can effectively remove the attached dust, oil and debris, prevent impurities from being mixed into the finished product, and ensure the cleanliness of the medicinal slices.

[0033] A water tank 25 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the bottom of the support 1. The water tank 25 is used to store water. A water inlet 251 is connected through the front side of the water tank 25. Multiple steam pipes 252 are connected through the right end of the water tank 25. The steam pipes 252 are used to transport steam. The other end of the steam pipes 252 is connected through the right end of the fixing member 22. Multiple air outlets are opened in a ring on the outer surface of the rotating cylinder 23. A heating element 253 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the water tank 25. The heating element 253 is used to heat the water inside the water tank 25. A waste bin 26 is detachably connected to the rear side of the water tank 25. The waste bin 26 is used to collect debris.

[0034] Before slicing the citrus reticulata, the operator can inject water into the water tank 25 through the water inlet 251. The heating element 253 heats the water in the water tank 25, and the generated steam is transported to the inside of the fixing element 22 through the steam pipe 252. As the rotating drum 23 continues to rotate, the steam is evenly sprayed onto the surface of the citrus reticulata through the vent holes on its surface. During the extrusion process, low-temperature saturated steam is applied, which moderately swells the fiber structure, improves the material's ductility, and reduces its shear strength, thus making it easier to achieve stable and uniform flattening. At the same time, the dust, oil, and debris brushed off by the hollow soft brush 24 during rotation can slide off the surface and be collected in the waste bin 26 below.

[0035] When the tangerine peel is being extruded, the pusher 12 will continuously push the tangerine peel to the left, which may cause the tangerine peel to be cut before it is flattened into an oval shape, resulting in the slices still being crescent-shaped with large thickness deviations, causing the slice quality to be out of control.

[0036] Reference Appendix Figure 4To address the issue of the material pusher 12 continuously pushing the citrus peel, causing it to be cut before being flattened into an elliptical shape, this embodiment employs the following technical solution: A first gear 3 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the rear steam pipe 252. The left side of the first gear 3 is fixedly connected to the right end of the rear rotating cylinder 23. The first gear 3 drives the rear rotating cylinder 23 to rotate. A motor 31 is fixedly connected to the left side of the upper surface of the support 1. A rotating rod 32 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 31. The motor 31 drives the rotating rod 32 to rotate. A second gear 33 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod 32. A pulling member 34 is slidably connected to the right side of the upper surface of the support 1. The left end of the pulling member 34 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the right side of the second gear 33. The pulling member 34 drives the second gear 33 to move left and right. A belt 35 is connected between the outer surface of the right end of the rotating cylinder 23 and the outer surface of the right end of the roller pressing cylinder 21. The belt 35 drives the roller pressing cylinder 21 and the rotating cylinder 23 to rotate synchronously.

[0037] When it is necessary to compress the tangerine peel, the operator pushes the puller 34 to the left. As the puller 34 moves to the left, it drives the second gear 33 to move synchronously to the left, causing the outer surface of the second gear 33 to mesh with the outer surface of the first gear 3. Subsequently, the motor 31 drives the second gear 33 to rotate via the rotating rod 32. The second gear 33 then drives the first gear 3 to rotate, thereby driving the rear rotating cylinder 23 to rotate synchronously. Since the belt 35 is connected between the roller pressing cylinder 21 and the outer surfaces of the front and rear rotating cylinders 23, the rotation of the rear rotating cylinder 23 is transmitted through the belt 35, driving the roller pressing cylinder 21 and the front rotating cylinder 23 to rotate synchronously, achieving coordinated compression of the tangerine peel.

[0038] Simultaneously, after the second gear 33 moves to the left, its outer surface disengages from the outer surface of the reciprocating lead screw 11, thereby dynamically cutting off the power transmission path to the pushing mechanism. This state physically blocks the movement of the pushing component 12 and the cutter 13 during the extrusion stage, ensuring that each process strictly follows the logical sequence of shaping, feeding, and cutting. This mechanical interlocking mechanism effectively avoids conflicts between multiple actuators, ensuring that subsequent steps are only entered after sufficient extrusion, significantly improving process reliability and equipment operational stability.

[0039] After the citrus peel is extruded, the operator pulls the puller 34 back to the right. As the puller 34 moves to the right, it drives the second gear 33 to reset synchronously via the rotating rod 32. As the second gear 33 moves to the right, its outer surface re-engages with the outer surface of the reciprocating screw 11. Subsequently, the second gear 33 drives the reciprocating screw 11 to rotate synchronously during rotation, thereby driving the pusher 12 to push the citrus peel to the left for slicing.

[0040] The electric lifting frame 2 is symmetrically and fixedly connected to the right side of the guide frame 4. The electric lifting frame 2 is used to drive the guide frame 4 to move up and down. The guide frame 4 has a through groove on the opposite side. The upper surface of the support 1 is symmetrically and slidably connected to the right side of the slide member 41. The outer surface of the right end of the slide member 41 is pressed and engaged with the inside of the slide groove of the guide frame 4. The guide frame 4 is used to drive the slide member 41 to move back and forth. The left side of the slide member 41 is rotatably connected to the transmission wheel 42. The slide member 41 is used to drive the transmission wheel 42 to move synchronously. The outer surfaces of the transmission wheel 42 are pressed and engaged with the inner wall of the belt 35.

[0041] When the electric lifting frame 2 drives the roller pressing cylinder 21 to move downward, it synchronously drives the guide frame 4 to move downward. During the downward movement of the guide frame 4, its inner groove applies a lateral force to the sliding member 41, causing the sliding member 41 to drive the transmission wheel 42 to move in a direction away from each other. When the transmission wheel 42 moves outward, its outer surface exerts tension and compression on the inner wall of the belt 35, thereby ensuring that the roller pressing cylinder 21 and the rotating cylinder 23 rotate synchronously through the belt 35 while the roller pressing cylinder 21 moves downward.

[0042] The roller pressing cylinder 21 rotates synchronously with the two rotating cylinders 23 in the same direction and applies centripetal pressure to form a stable three-point enveloping clamping constraint. This structure can automatically align the geometric axis of the tangerine peel with the center of the slicing station, achieving self-centering positioning; at the same time, the extrusion pressure is evenly distributed along the curved surface of the peel, avoiding local stress concentration. While efficiently completing the flattening and shaping, it effectively protects the integrity of the oil cells and fiber structure, preventing surface depressions or tissue damage.

[0043] When water vapor is sprayed onto the surface of the tangerine peel through the air outlet of the rotating cylinder 23, the steam diffuses, cools and dissipates rapidly in the open space, making it difficult to maintain effective temperature and humidity on the surface of the tangerine peel. This results in inconsistent heating and wetting of the peel, with some areas being too dry and others too wet, leading to low steam utilization and uneven wetting.

[0044] Reference Appendix Figure 5 To address the issue of inconsistent heating and wetting of fruit peels due to rapid steam diffusion in open spaces, this embodiment employs the following technical solution: A protective cover 5 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the electric lifting frame 2, which covers both sides of the tangerine peel. Sliding plates 51 are symmetrically slidably connected to both sides of the protective cover 5, which also cover both sides. Rubber blocks 53 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of each sliding plate 51, which cushion the sliding plate 51.

[0045] Multiple springs 52 are fixedly sleeved on the outer surfaces of both sides of the protective cover 5. The bottom end of each spring 52 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the bottom of the sliding plate 51. The springs 52 are used to drive the sliding plate 51 to reset and move. A flipping frame 54 is rotatably connected between the left ends of the rubber blocks 53. A roller 56 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the hollow soft brush 24. The roller 56 is used to guide the orange peel. Torsion springs 55 are fixedly sleeved on the outer surfaces of the left ends of the rubber blocks 53 that are close to each other. The torsion springs 55 are fixedly connected to the two ends of the flipping frame 54 that are close to each other. The torsion springs 55 are used to drive the flipping frame 54 to reset and move.

[0046] When the electric lifting frame 2 moves the roller pressing cylinder 21 downwards, it simultaneously drives the protective cover 5 and the sliding plate 51 downwards. During the downward movement, the protective cover 5 shields the top of the tangerine peel, while the sliding plate 51 shields the sides. As the protective cover 5 and the sliding plate 51 continue to move downwards, even when the bottom of the sliding plate 51 contacts the upper surface of the support 1, the protective cover 5 can still continue to descend, compressing the spring 52 to a compressed state. Through the coordinated action of the protective cover 5 and the sliding plate 51, a locally sealed chamber is formed, effectively accumulating and maintaining a saturated steam environment, allowing the surface of the tangerine peel to be uniformly heated and wetted in a short time, improving softening consistency and processing efficiency. This cover structure also constitutes a temporary closed protection zone, isolating external dust, microorganisms, and other contaminants, ensuring the cleanliness of the raw material surface after wetting, providing a reliable prerequisite for subsequent high-quality slicing, and guaranteeing the hygiene and appearance quality of the final slices.

[0047] Furthermore, the rubber block 53 moves downwards synchronously with the sliding plate 51, and drives the roller 56 to move synchronously via the flipping frame 54. When the reciprocating screw 11 pushes the citrus to the left, the outer surface of the roller 56 limits its upper surface, ensuring that the cutter 13 can cut more accurately. For larger citrus pieces, when the roller 56 applies pressure, the flipping frame 54 will drive the roller 56 to swing and rotate the torsion spring 55 to a stored state. After the large citrus pieces are sliced, the torsion spring 55 in the stored state drives the roller 56 to reset and swing back to its initial position via the flipping frame 54. By driving the roller 56 to swing via the flipping frame 54, effective limiting of citrus pieces of different sizes is achieved.

Therefore, the scope of this disclosure should not be limited to the above embodiments, but should be defined not only by the appended claims, but also by their equivalents.
