[0024] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the utility model relates to a Chinese medicine slicer, comprising a protective shell 1, a center rod 2 is installed at the center of the arc surface of the protective shell 1, one end of the center rod 2 is connected to a driving motor, a plurality of cutters 4 for cutting rhizomes of medicinal materials are arranged inside the protective shell 1, a straight handle is connected to one side of the cutter 4, the straight handle is fixed to the protective shell 1, a drop hopper 5 is connected to the outer side of the protective shell 1, the drop hopper 5 is composed of two side plates 501 and a side plate 502, the connection between the drop hopper 5 and the protective shell 1 is a slope structure with an inclination, the slope structure is helpful for material feeding, in order to facilitate material connection, a base 8 is arranged at the bottom of the protective shell 1, a placement frame 9 is inserted in the base 8, the placement frame 9 is used to store sliced ​​medicinal materials, a roller can be set at the bottom of the placement frame 9 to assist extraction and insertion, a support column 10 is fixed between the base 8 and the drop hopper 5, the support column 10 plays an auxiliary supporting role for the drop hopper 5.

[0025] In the embodiment of the utility model, in order to realize the simultaneous cutting of conveying, a plurality of feeding structures 3 for conveying rhizome medicinal materials are fixed on the periphery of the central rod 2, and the feeding structure 3 includes a curved plate 301, and the curved plate 301 is an arc-shaped structure adapted to the curved surface of the protective shell 1 when rotating. The design of the arc structure enables it to place rhizome medicinal materials. At the same time, due to the design of the protective shell 1 being adapted to the curved structure of the curved plate 301, the inner wall of the protective shell 1 can prevent the medicinal materials from escaping from the area of ​​the curved plate 301 during the rotation of the curved plate 301, and one end of the curved plate 301 An extension block 302 fixed to the center rod 2 is integrally formed, and a plurality of knife grooves 303 for the cutters 4 to pass through are opened on the curved plate 301. The plurality of cutters 4 are distributed at equal distances, and the positions of the plurality of cutters 4 correspond to the knife grooves 303. The cutting edge of the cutter 4 is an arc-shaped structure. The arc-shaped structure of the cutter 4 makes the contact surface increase from small to large when cutting, thereby reducing the resistance during the cutting process. It should be noted that the plurality of cutters 4 are preferably arranged on the upper half of the part close to the drop hopper 5, so that when the curved plate 301 lifts the rhizome medicinal materials up, slicing is achieved, making the rhizome medicinal materials more stable.

[0026] In the embodiment of the utility model, in order to prevent excessive entry of disposable medicinal materials, resulting in blockage, a circular cavity area is provided inside the drop hopper 5, and a material shifting structure 6 is provided inside the circular cavity area. The material shifting structure 6 includes a shifting post 601, and the end of the shifting post 601 is rotatably connected to the drop hopper 5. A plurality of shifting plates 602 are bolted to the outer periphery of the shifting post 601, and the area between two adjacent shifting plates 602 is used to limit the position of the rhizome medicinal materials to be processed;

[0027] It should be noted that the shifting plate 602 has a variety of specifications with different sizes, and if the rhizome medicinal material with a larger diameter is to be shifted, such as yam, Figure 3 As shown in the example, a corresponding specification of the paddle 602 can be selected according to the interval range of the yam diameter, and each interval between two adjacent paddles 602 can accommodate one yam to achieve paddle delivery. If the paddle is a root herb with a smaller diameter, such as ginseng, each interval between two adjacent paddles 602 is a one-time slicing amount, and an appropriate amount can be paddled each time for slicing, thereby avoiding blockage and greatly reducing the wear of the cutter 4, which is conducive to increasing the service life;

[0028] In order to achieve synchronous drive, a transmission structure 7 is arranged between the material shifting structure 6 and the center rod 2. The transmission structure 7 includes a transmission chain 701 and two sprockets 702. The two sprockets 702 are respectively connected to the ends of the center rod 2 and the shifting column 601. The transmission chain 701 is adapted to be arranged between the outer peripheries of the two sprockets 702. The feeding structure 3 and the shifting plate 602 of this design are both structures in which the annular array is divided into four equal parts. Therefore, the two sprockets 702 have the same diameter, so that the cutting and conveying are synchronized. If different numbers of arrays are used, the diameters of the two sprockets 702 can be adjusted to make them compatible.

[0029] Working principle: This embodiment provides a Chinese medicine slicer. When in use, rhizome medicinal materials are put into the hopper 5, and the driving motor is controlled by the external control structure to drive the central rod 2 to rotate, so that the curved plate 301 rotates and conveys the medicinal materials contained inside. When the curved plate 301 passes through the cutter 4, the cutter 4 can pass through the knife groove 303, so that it slices the medicinal materials inside once. When it continues to rotate to the lower half of the protective shell 1, the sliced ​​medicinal materials can fall into the placement frame 9, and continuous slicing is achieved in this way.

[0030] At the same time, when the center rod 2 rotates, the transmission chain 701 and the sprocket 702 cooperate to drive the shifting column 601 to rotate synchronously, so that the multiple shifting plates 602 can rotate. During the rotation, the medicinal materials between every two shifting plates 602 can be driven to be output and fall into the area of ​​the curved plate 301 through the slope structure, thereby achieving quantitative delivery, ensuring the stability of cutting and extending the service life of the cutter 4.

[0031] The embodiments of the present invention disclose preferred embodiments, but are not limited thereto. A person skilled in the art can easily understand the spirit of the present invention based on the above embodiments and make different extensions and changes. However, as long as they do not deviate from the spirit of the present invention, they are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
