Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing equipment, and in particular to a Ganoderma lucidum rotary oblique slicing machine. Background Technology

[0002] A Chinese herbal medicine slicer is a device specifically designed to cut Chinese medicinal herbs into uniform thin slices. Through rapid cutting with mechanical blades, it slices the herbs into pieces of appropriate thickness while preserving their active ingredients. For Ganoderma lucidum (reishi mushroom), slicing is primarily for ease of subsequent drying, storage, extraction of active ingredients, and end-use: whole Ganoderma lucidum is hard and irregularly shaped; slicing significantly increases its surface area, accelerating the drying process and preventing mold growth. During decoction, soaking, or soup making, slicing allows for more complete dissolution of polysaccharides, triterpenoids, and other active ingredients, improving utilization efficiency. Simultaneously, the regular slices facilitate packaging, distribution, and quantitative use, meeting the standardized product form requirements of prepared Chinese herbal medicines, health products, or daily dietary therapy.

[0003] However, existing cutting equipment often encounters the following problems during use:

[0004] Traditional Chinese medicine slicing machines generally use fixed linear guides to drive the cutter in a single vertical reciprocating motion, which cannot adjust the cutter angle. Therefore, when encountering medicinal materials such as Ganoderma lucidum that require oblique cuts, arc cuts, or other irregular cuts, the equipment itself cannot be directly adapted. This limitation forces processors to either switch to manual oblique cutting, resulting in uneven slice thickness, irregular cuts, and low processing efficiency, or abandon special cutting requirements, thereby affecting the consistency of subsequent processes such as drying, packaging, or extraction of Ganoderma lucidum, resulting in increased material loss, reduced product appearance quality, and difficulty in meeting the market's demand for processing Ganoderma lucidum slices in diverse shapes. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a rotary oblique slicing machine for Ganoderma lucidum, which effectively solves the problem mentioned in the background art that the equipment itself cannot directly adapt when encountering medicinal materials such as Ganoderma lucidum that require oblique cutting, arc-shaped cutting, or other irregular cutting. This limitation forces processors to either use manual oblique cutting, resulting in uneven slice thickness and irregular cutting.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A rotary oblique slicing machine for Ganoderma lucidum includes:

[0008] An outer casing, wherein a drive motor is provided on the outer side of the outer casing;

[0009] The lifting rod extends vertically through the bottom of the outer casing;

[0010] An angle adjustment mechanism is installed on the top surface of the outer casing. The angle adjustment mechanism includes a cylinder, a rack, a transmission gear, a rotating shaft housing, a meshing gear, and an extension rod. The cylinder is horizontally arranged on the top of the outer casing. The output end of the cylinder is connected to the rack. The rack meshes with the transmission gear. The transmission gear is arranged around the outer periphery of the rotating shaft housing. The meshing gear meshes with the inner wall of the rotating shaft housing. The meshing gear is arranged around the body of the extension rod.

[0011] Also includes:

[0012] The output end of the drive motor passes through the housing;

[0013] A roller component, which is horizontally disposed inside the outer casing and is mounted on the output end of the drive motor;

[0014] An irregular chute is formed on one end face of the roller component, and the irregular chute includes alternating stretch sections and shaft-attaching sections;

[0015] An irregularly shaped force-applying rod, one end of which is slidably connected to the irregular groove;

[0016] A linkage component is hinged to the other end of the irregular force-applying rod, and the linkage component is sleeved on the rod body of the lifting rod;

[0017] The cutter is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lifting rod.

[0018] The irregular groove has an arc-shaped groove in its pull section, and the radial distance between its groove trajectory and the central axis of the roller gradually increases.

[0019] The irregularly shaped force-applying rod includes:

[0020] The sliding end is slidably connected to the irregular groove via the roller;

[0021] The turning section is flush with the height of the sliding end and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the outer shell.

[0022] The hinged end is hinged to the linkage member through a pin, and the swing plane of the hinged end is perpendicular to the lifting direction of the lifting rod.

[0023] The stroke of the cylinder is matched with the pitch circle circumference of the transmission gear, so that every time the cylinder pushes the rack to move one tooth pitch, the transmission gear drives the rotating shaft housing to rotate by an angle of 5°-15°.

[0024] A bearing is provided at the connection between the shaft housing and the outer housing.

[0025] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The design of this invention, through the cooperation of a cylinder, rack, transmission gear, rotating shaft housing, and meshing gears, enables the adjustment of the slicer's cutting angle. The cylinder drives the rack to move, which in turn drives the transmission gear to rotate, thereby controlling the rotation of the rotating shaft housing and thus changing the cutting angle. This design allows users to adjust the cutting angle of the slicer as needed, providing more precise and diverse cutting methods when cutting Chinese medicinal herbs of different shapes or materials. Especially for special needs in Ganoderma lucidum processing, such as oblique cutting and fixed-angle slicing, the reciprocating lifting motion of the cutting blade is achieved through rollers, irregular grooves, and irregularly shaped force-applying rods. The cylinder drives the rack, transmission gear, and rotating shaft housing to rotate the cutting blade, allowing the cutting direction to be adjusted as needed, achieving oblique or multi-angle slicing of Ganoderma lucidum, significantly improving the equipment's adaptability to different slice shapes.

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.

[0032] In the description of this invention, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0033] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention provides a Ganoderma lucidum rotary oblique slicing machine, which includes an outer shell 1, a lifting rod 2, an angle adjustment mechanism 3, a cylinder 31, a rack 32, a transmission gear 33, a rotating shaft shell 34, a meshing gear 35, and an extension rod 36.

[0034] A drive motor 4 is provided on the outside of the outer shell 1. The lifting rod 2 passes vertically through the bottom of the outer shell 1. The angle adjustment mechanism 3 is installed on the top surface of the outer shell 1. The angle adjustment mechanism 3 includes a cylinder 31, a rack 32, a transmission gear 33, a rotating shaft housing 34, a meshing gear 35, and an extension rod 36. The cylinder 31 is horizontally arranged on the top of the outer shell 1. The output end of the cylinder 31 is connected to the rack 32. The rack 32 meshes with the transmission gear 33. The transmission gear 33 is arranged around the outer periphery of the rotating shaft housing 34. The meshing gear 35 meshes with the inner wall of the rotating shaft housing 34. A bearing is provided at the connection between the rotating shaft housing 34 and the outer shell 1. The meshing gear 35 is arranged around the rod body of the extension rod 36.

[0035] In this invention, the stroke of cylinder 31 matches the pitch circle circumference of transmission gear 33, so that for every tooth pitch moved by cylinder 31, transmission gear 33 drives rotating shaft housing 34 to rotate by an angle of 5°-15°. The design of meshing teeth 35 and rotating shaft housing 34 ensures that after cylinder 31 is driven, the shaft can rotate stably and drive other components to work precisely. The cooperation between meshing teeth 35 and rotating shaft housing 34 allows the action of cylinder 31 to be effectively converted into changes in the angle of cutter 9, thereby providing a precise angle adjustment function to ensure the bevel cutting of medicinal materials.

[0036] In this invention, the output end of the drive motor 4 passes through the outer casing 1, and the roller component 5 is horizontally disposed inside the outer casing 1. The roller component 5 is mounted on the output end of the drive motor 4, and an irregular groove 6 is formed on one end face of the roller component 5. The irregular groove 6 includes alternating stretch sections 61 and shaft-attaching sections 62. The stretch section 61 of the irregular groove 6 is an arc-shaped groove, and the radial distance of its groove trajectory from the central axis of the roller component 5 gradually increases. The function of the drive motor 4 is to provide power to the entire machine. The roller component 5 obtains power and transmits it to other components through its connection with the drive motor 4. The rotation of the roller component 5 drives the movement of the irregular groove 6, which is an important step in the operation of the slicer. The design of the roller component 5 ensures its stable rotation and provides continuous power.

[0037] In this invention, the "pull-out section 61" of the irregular chute 6 is designed as an arc-shaped groove, with its chute trajectory gradually increasing radially from the central axis of the roller component 5. This design is crucial. It can control the lifting trajectory of the irregular force-applying rod 7, ensuring that the movement of the force-applying rod is not too violent or irregular, thereby achieving smooth and precise cutting. As the chute trajectory changes, the force-applying rod can flexibly adapt to the cutting requirements of different medicinal materials.

[0038] In this invention, the irregular force-applying rod 7 includes: a sliding end 71 slidably connected to an irregular groove 6 via a roller; a turning section 72 at the same height as the sliding end 71; a turning section 72 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 1; and a hinge end 73 hinged to a linkage member 8 via a pin, with the swing plane of the hinge end 73 perpendicular to the lifting direction of the lifting rod 2.

[0039] In this invention, one end of the irregularly shaped force-applying rod 7 is slidably connected within the irregular groove 6, and the linkage 8 is hinged to the other end of the irregularly shaped force-applying rod 7. The linkage 8 is sleeved on the body of the lifting rod 2, and a cutter 9 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lifting rod 2. The irregular groove 6 is designed to guide the movement of the irregularly shaped force-applying rod 7 through the rotation of the roller 5. In particular, the design of the "tension section 61" and the "shaft-attaching section 62" of the groove ensures that the force-applying rod can change its direction in different trajectories, allowing the force-applying rod to adjust its lifting and lowering according to the cutting requirements of the medicinal material. This design makes the cutting process more precise and controllable, especially for accurate operation based on the shape of the medicinal material and the required cutting method. The function of the linkage 8 is to convert the movement of the irregularly shaped force-applying rod 7 into the vertical movement of the lifting rod 2, so that the cutter 9 can cut the medicinal material with the lifting and lowering of the lifting rod 2. This design ensures that the movement of the cutter 9 is controlled and can be precisely cut according to the size of the medicinal material.

[0040] In this invention, the cylinder 31 and the angle adjustment mechanism 3 are used to adjust the angle of the cutter 9, particularly to achieve the desired bevel cut. The lateral push of the cylinder 31 drives the rack 32 to engage with the transmission gear 33, allowing the rotating shaft housing 34 to rotate, which in turn drives the extension rod 36 to rotate, thus adjusting the angle of the cutter 9. This design ensures that the machine can cut medicinal materials at different angles as needed, making it particularly suitable for Chinese medicinal materials requiring bevel cuts.

[0041] It should be noted that, in the case of the Ganoderma lucidum rotary oblique slicing machine designed in this invention, when the drive motor 4 on the outer side of the outer casing 1 is started, the output end of the motor rotates, driving the roller 5 at its output end. The rotation of the roller 5 drives the irregular groove 6 on one side of the roller 5. One end of the irregular force-applying rod 7 is driven to rotate because it is slidably connected within the irregular groove 6. When one end of the irregular force-applying rod 7 is guided by the irregular groove 6 to the tension section 61 away from the central axis of the roller 5, the one end of the irregular force-applying rod 7... When the shaped force bar 7 is lifted, the other end of the shaped force bar 7 will also be lifted. The shaped force bar 7 pulls the linkage 8 connected to the lifting rod 2, and the lifting rod 2 will be pulled up together, causing the cutter 9 at the bottom of the lifting rod 2 to rise. Conversely, when one end of the shaped force bar 7 is guided by the irregular groove 6 to the shaft section 62 near the central axis of the roller 5, the shaped force bar 7 will drive the lifting rod 2 to fall down, and the cutter 9 below the lifting rod 2 will cut the medicine that is falling down. This cycle is repeated to complete the slicing. When a medicinal material requires a beveled cut, the cylinder 31 on the top of the outer casing 1 is activated. The output end of the cylinder 31 drives the rack 32 to move. The rack 32 then drives the transmission gear 33 that meshes with it. The transmission gear 33 rotates, driving the rotating shaft housing 34. The rotating shaft housing 34 rotates, driving the meshing gear 35 that meshes with its inner wall. The meshing gear 35 is located on the body of the extension rod 36. The extension rod 36 rotates, driving the lowered and fixedly connected lifting rod 2 to rotate. The cutter 9 will naturally rotate along with it. After the cutter 9 rotates, a beveled cut will appear after it cuts down.

[0042] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
