Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine preparation, and particularly to a slicing and segmenting machine. Background Art

[0002] The process of traditional Chinese medicine preparation usually includes the following main steps, each of which aims to ensure the quality, safety and efficacy of the medicinal materials. These steps include raw material harvesting, cleaning, cutting, processing, packaging and storage, etc.

[0003] The cutting of traditional Chinese medicine raw materials is usually carried out in a dedicated slicing and segmenting machine. Different medicinal materials are sliced or segmented separately according to different pharmaceutical requirements. After slicing or segmenting, the surface area of the medicinal materials is increased, making it easier to promote the extraction and leaching of active ingredients in the subsequent processing process. At the same time, the size and shape of the medicinal materials are made more uniform, ensuring that each part is heated and processed more evenly during the processing process. The processing process has the effects of changing the properties of the medicinal materials, reducing toxicity, and improving the medicinal efficacy. Through processing, impurities, odors and non-medicinal parts in the medicinal materials can be removed, purifying the medicinal materials and improving their purity and quality.

[0004] In order to fully process the cut medicinal materials in the subsequent processing process, some medicinal materials have clear humidity requirements after cutting. However, the existing slicing and segmenting machines cannot guarantee the required humidity of the medicinal materials after cutting, and cannot meet the production process requirements. At the same time, in the existing technology, special equipment is usually added additionally after cutting to moisten the medicinal materials, and the additional process will reduce the efficiency of pharmaceutical production. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] In order to improve the situation that the existing slicing and segmenting machines cannot guarantee the required humidity of the medicinal materials, this application provides a slicing and segmenting machine.

[0006] This application provides a slicing and segmenting machine, adopting the following technical solutions:

[0007] A slicing and segmenting machine includes a main body. An outlet is provided on one side of the main body. A feeding plate is arranged corresponding to the outlet of the main body. The feeding plate is arranged obliquely downward. A spraying assembly is further arranged on one side of the main body at the outlet. The spraying assembly includes a water supply pipe and a nozzle. The nozzle faces the direction of the feeding plate or the falling path of the medicinal materials to spray and moisten the medicinal materials falling out of the outlet. The water supply pipe is connected to the nozzle and is used to connect to an external water source.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, a spraying assembly is arranged at the discharge port position. After the medicinal materials are cut, they can be directly wetted by the spraying assembly during the transportation process from the slicing and cutting machine to the next process, meeting the humidity requirements after the cutting of the medicinal materials, without the need to additionally add dedicated equipment for wetting treatment subsequently, thereby improving the pharmaceutical efficiency and reducing the production cost.

[0009] Optionally, the nozzle includes a water spray head and a mist spray head, which are used to switch between water droplets or water mists with different spraying particle sizes.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the water spray head and the mist spray head can be switched and used according to needs to adapt to different types and shapes of medicinal materials, improving the applicability and flexibility of the machine.

[0011] Optionally, the nozzle is rotatably connected to the water supply pipe so that the nozzle can adjust the spraying coverage area.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the adjustable design of the nozzle enables it to flexibly adjust the spraying angle and range, better adapting to the blanking position and path of the medicinal materials to ensure that the medicinal materials can be evenly wetted.

[0013] Optionally, the nozzle is provided with an adjustment knob, the adjustment knob is rotatably connected to the nozzle, and the size of the water output of the nozzle can be adjusted after the adjustment knob rotates.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the water output of the nozzle can be conveniently controlled through the adjustment knob, thereby controlling the humidity of the medicinal materials to meet the humidity requirements of different medicinal materials.

[0015] Optionally, a regulating valve is connected to the water inlet end of the water supply pipe, the main body is provided with a control unit, the regulating valve is electrically connected to the control unit, and the control unit is used to control the opening and closing and the flow rate of the regulating valve.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, through the cooperation of the control unit and the regulating valve, precise control of the water source can be achieved, further improving the accuracy and automation degree of the wetting of the medicinal materials.

[0017] Optionally, an installation frame is arranged on the feeding plate, and the water supply pipe is detachably connected to the installation frame.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the arrangement of the installation frame enables the water supply pipe to be conveniently installed and disassembled, facilitating maintenance and replacement.

[0019] Optionally, the water supply pipe is arranged on both the upper and lower sides of the feeding plate through the installation frame.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the water supply pipes are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the feeding plate, which can ensure that the medicinal materials are fully moistened from both sides during the falling process on the feeding plate, improving the moistening effect.

[0021] Optionally, a water permeable net is arranged at the position of the feeding plate corresponding to the nozzle, the nozzle faces the water permeable net, a plurality of water permeable holes are formed in the water permeable net, and the aperture of the water permeable holes is smaller than the size of the cut medicinal materials.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the water permeable net can prevent the medicinal materials from being directly impacted by the nozzle and scattered, while ensuring that the water mist can uniformly penetrate through the water permeable net to moisten the medicinal materials, improving the uniformity and effect of moistening.

[0023] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. By integrating the spraying component, the function of timely moistening the medicinal materials in the slicing and cutting machine is realized, meeting the requirements of the production process, improving the pharmaceutical efficiency, and reducing the production cost;

[0025] 2. By arranging the water spraying head and the water mist spraying head, different particle sizes of water droplets or water mist can be switched for spraying to meet different moistening requirements, and the water output of the nozzle can be adjusted by the adjusting knob, and the moistening degree can be flexibly controlled;

[0026] 3. By arranging nozzles on both the upper and lower sides of the feeding plate and arranging a water permeable net on the feeding plate at the same time, it is ensured that water can uniformly penetrate through the water permeable net and spray onto the medicinal materials from both sides, improving the spraying effect.

Detailed Embodiment

[0032] The following further elaborates on this application in conjunction with the attached Figures 1-4 drawings.

[0033] Example 1:

[0034] Example 1 of this application discloses a slicing and cutting machine. Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the slicing and cutting machine includes a main body 1. An outlet 11 is provided on one side of the main body 1, and the cut medicinal materials can be discharged from the outlet 11. A feeding plate 12 is fixed at the position of the main body 1 corresponding to the outlet 11. The feeding plate 12 extends obliquely downward to facilitate the sliding of the medicinal materials. The feeding plate 12 can be made of stainless steel, making the surface of the feeding plate 12 as smooth as possible, which is more conducive to the sliding of the medicinal materials. In order to perform the wetting treatment immediately after the medicinal materials are cut, a spraying assembly 2 is also equipped on one side of the main body 1 at the outlet 11.

[0035] The spraying assembly 2 includes a water supply pipe 21 and a plurality of nozzles 22. The water supply pipe 21 is connected to the nozzles 22. The water supply pipe 21 is located above the feeding plate and extends along the width direction of the feeding plate 12. One end of the water supply pipe 21 can be connected to an external water source to provide the water source required for spraying for the nozzles 22. The nozzles 22 are oriented towards the direction of the feeding plate 12, or more specifically, towards the falling path of the medicinal materials. When the medicinal materials slide down from the feeding plate 12, the nozzles 22 will spray and wet these medicinal materials. This design ensures that after the medicinal materials are cut and discharged, the wetting treatment can be immediately completed on the slicing and cutting machine, enabling the medicinal materials to maintain the corresponding humidity before the next processing step, thus meeting the humidity requirements of the medicinal materials; at the same time, it eliminates the subsequent additional wetting process and does not require additional dedicated wetting equipment, effectively improving the overall efficiency of pharmaceutical production and saving the production cost of the enterprise.

[0036] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , specifically, the nozzles 22 include two types: water spray nozzles 221 and atomizing nozzles 222, and different particle sizes of water droplets or water mist can be switched for spraying according to needs. For example, for medicinal materials that require a greater degree of wetting, the water spray nozzles 221 can be selected for spraying; while for medicinal materials that require a more delicate wetting, the atomizing nozzles 222 can be selected. In Example 1 of this application, there are two water spray nozzles 221 and two atomizing nozzles 222, and the water spray nozzles 221 and the atomizing nozzles 222 are arranged at intervals in a staggered manner, so that the water spray nozzles 221 and the atomizing nozzles 222 can cover the entire range of the falling medicinal materials.

[0037] The nozzles 22 are rotatably connected to the water supply pipe 21 through a fixing seat 23. The fixing seat 23 is coaxially sleeved on the water supply pipe 21, enabling the nozzles 22 to freely adjust their spraying coverage area. Such a design ensures that no matter from which angle or position the medicinal materials fall, the nozzles 22 can effectively wet them.

[0038] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Each nozzle 22 is equipped with an adjustment knob 24. The adjustment knob 24 is rotatably connected to the nozzle 22. By rotating the adjustment knob 24, the water output of the nozzle 22 can be easily adjusted, enabling the operator to precisely control the water output of the nozzle 22 according to the specific wetting requirements of the medicinal materials.

[0039] Furthermore, a regulating valve 25 is provided at one end of the water supply pipe 21 where water enters. The regulating valve 25 is connected to the water supply pipe 21, and the regulating valve 25 can be an electromagnetic valve. At the same time, the main body 1 is also provided with a control unit, and the control unit is electrically connected to the regulating valve 25. Through the control unit, the opening, closing, and flow rate of the regulating valve 25 can be precisely controlled, thereby realizing the automatic water spraying control of the nozzle 22. To facilitate the installation and disassembly of the water supply pipe 21, an installation frame 3 is also provided on the feeding plate 12, and the water supply pipe 21 is detachably connected to the installation frame 3. The detachable connection method can be bolted connection, and it is fixed to the installation frame 3 through a connecting plate. Such a design not only makes the maintenance of the equipment more convenient but also greatly improves the flexibility of the equipment in use.

[0040] The implementation principle of Embodiment 1 of this application for a slicing and cutting machine is as follows: A spraying assembly 2 is provided on one side of the discharge port 11 of the main body 1. Multiple water spray nozzles 221 and spray nozzles 222 can spray and moisten the medicinal materials passing through the feeding plate 12. Appropriate nozzles 22 can be selected according to the type and size of the medicinal materials to spray the medicinal materials, enabling the medicinal materials to complete the wetting treatment immediately after cutting, thereby meeting the humidity requirements of the medicinal materials. At the same time, the subsequent additional wetting process is omitted, and there is no need to add additional special wetting equipment, effectively improving the overall efficiency of pharmaceutical production.

[0041] Embodiment 2:

[0042] The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that: Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The water supply pipe 21 is provided on both the upper and lower sides of the feeding plate 12 through the installation frame 3, and the nozzles 22 on both the upper and lower sides are all oriented towards the feeding plate 12. A permeable net 4 is fixed at the position of the feeding plate 12 corresponding to the nozzle 22. The width of the permeable net 4 is slightly smaller than the width of the feeding plate 12. The nozzle 22 is oriented towards the permeable net 4, and a plurality of permeable holes 41 are formed through the permeable net 4. The aperture of these permeable holes 41 is smaller than the size of the cut medicinal materials, so that the medicinal materials will not fall through the permeable holes 41 when passing through the permeable net 4.

[0043] When the medicinal materials fall along the feeding plate 12, both the upper and lower surfaces of the medicinal materials can be sprayed by the spray heads 22, so that both surfaces of the medicinal materials can be fully wetted. The arrangement of the water permeable holes 41 not only ensures that the medicinal materials will not fall from the water permeable holes 41, but also ensures that the water mist can uniformly penetrate through the water permeable net 4 to wet the medicinal materials.

[0044] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereby. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape and principle of the present application shall be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
