Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medicinal material processing equipment, in particular to a Chinese medicinal material slicing device which is convenient for adjusting the slicing thickness. Background Art

[0002] Chinese medicinal material slicing is a common processing form in the process of Chinese medicinal material processing, mainly for facilitating the decoction, processing, dispensing, identification and storage of active ingredients, etc. At present, Chinese medicinal material slicing is mainly realized by a slicing machine. Among them, the prior art CN221496200 discloses a medicinal material slicing device with an adjusting mechanism. In the above technology, the motor drives the cam plate to rotate, and then presses down the return spring and the cutting knife to realize the function of slicing medicinal materials. For the adjustment of the slicing thickness of medicinal materials, the above technology realizes it by changing the frequency of the motor, and then changing the rotation speed of the motor. Although changing the motor frequency can affect the cutting frequency of the cutting knife, and thus indirectly affect the slicing thickness, this method also has some obvious deficiencies. First of all, the adjustment of the cutting thickness in this way is not precise, because there may be a non-linear relationship between the adjustment of the motor frequency and the change of the slicing thickness, resulting in difficulty in precisely controlling the required slicing thickness. Secondly, this method may cause unnecessary burden on the motor and the cutting knife, because frequently adjusting the motor frequency may affect the stability and service life of the motor. Especially for some slicing machines that rely on a specific rotation speed for efficient and uniform slicing, this method is not sufficient to meet the use requirements. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The slicing machine of the above technology controls the slicing thickness by controlling the frequency of the motor. This method is difficult to precisely control, and at the same time, it will cause unnecessary burden on the cutting knife and the motor.

[0025] To clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the present utility model will be elaborated in detail below through specific implementation manners in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] In addition, in the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0027] As Figures 1-4 shown, a traditional Chinese medicine material slicing device convenient for adjusting the slicing thickness includes a frame 1, a feeding unit 3 and a cutting unit 2. The frame 1 is used to provide the installation positions of the feeding unit 3 and the cutting unit 2. The feeding unit 3 and the cutting unit 2 are arranged on the frame 1 in sequence from left to right, and the cutting unit 2 is arranged on the side of the discharge port of the feeding unit 3. The feeding unit 3 cooperates with the cutting unit 2 to send the medicinal materials to the cutting unit 2 for slicing.

[0028] Specifically, the cutting unit 2 includes a cutting platform 202. The cutting platform 202 is arranged on the frame 1. The cutting platform 202 is located on the right side of the discharge port of the feeding unit 3. An induction switch 204 is arranged on the cutting platform 202. There is a certain distance between the induction switch 204 and the discharge port of the feeding unit 3, and this distance is set according to needs. Above the cutting platform 202, there is also a guide rail 205. The guide rail 205 is fixed on the cutting platform 202 through a bracket 203. The guide rail 205 is arranged along the feeding direction of the medicinal materials, that is, in the left-right direction in this application. A cutting knife assembly is slidably arranged on the guide rail 205. The cutting knife assembly is located between the induction switch 204 and the discharge port of the feeding unit 3, and the cutting knife assembly is slidably arranged on the guide rail 205. The sliding of the cutting knife assembly on the guide rail 205 can be realized manually or mechanically. Thread the cutting knife assembly with one end of a lead screw 208. The other end of the lead screw 208 is rotatably arranged at one end of the guide rail 205 through a bearing. Manually or mechanically rotating the lead screw 208 drives the cutting knife assembly to move to adjust the slicing thickness of the medicinal materials. The distance between the cutting knife assembly and the induction switch 204 is the slicing thickness.

[0029] The specific control process can be implemented through existing programming programs. The feeding unit 3 drives the medicinal materials to continuously move to the right. When the rightmost end of the medicinal materials reaches the induction switch 204, the induction switch 204 detects the medicinal materials and turns on the circuit. At this time, the cutting knife assembly will act to slice the medicinal materials. It should be noted that each time the cutting knife assembly cuts, the sliced medicinal materials will be toggled by the paddle or automatically roll to other positions to prevent them from affecting the next slicing.

[0030] Furthermore, the above-mentioned induction switch 204 can adopt a photoelectric switch or an infrared switch. Two induction switches 204 are provided and are symmetrically arranged front and back on the bracket 203.

[0031] Furthermore, when the lead screw 208 is mechanically driven, it further includes a motor 201. The motor 201 is arranged at one end of the guide rail 205, and the output shaft of the motor 201 is coaxially connected to one end of the lead screw 208. By controlling the number of revolutions of the motor 201, the lead screw 208 rotates by a corresponding number of pitches, thereby accurately controlling the moving distance of the cutting knife assembly.

[0032] Furthermore, the structure of the above-mentioned cutting knife assembly specifically includes a knife holder 209. The knife holder 209 is slidably arranged on the guide rail 205. An expansion member 206 is provided on the knife holder 209. The expansion direction of the expansion member 206 is perpendicular to the cutting platform 202, which is the up and down direction in the figure. The expansion member 206 is connected to the knife head 207, and the expansion member 206 drives the knife head 207 to reciprocate up and down to slice the medicinal materials.

[0033] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the above-mentioned expansion member 206 can adopt an electric cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder or an oil cylinder, and preferably an electric cylinder. The electric cylinder has a simple structure, does not require the configuration of oil circuits and gas circuits, and is convenient for disassembly and assembly.

[0034] Furthermore, when manual adjustment of the lead screw 208 is required, a scale can be further provided on the guide rail 205 along its length direction. The scale can mark the position of the knife head 207 to facilitate accurate movement of the position of the knife head 207.

[0035] Furthermore, the structure of the above-mentioned feeding unit 3 includes a conveyor belt 301. Here, the conveyor belt refers to the combination of a driving motor 301c, a transmission mechanism 301b and a conveyor belt 301a. Since the structures and connections of the driving motor 301c, the transmission mechanism 301b and the conveyor belt 301a are prior arts, the above-mentioned combination as a whole is called the conveyor belt 301. And those skilled in the art also know that the conveyor belt 301 generally refers to the whole. A pressure roller 302 is provided above the conveyor belt 301. A plurality of pressure rollers 302 are arranged in sequence from left to right. The pressure roller 302 is rotatably arranged on the frame 1 through a support frame 303. The pressure roller 302 can press the medicinal materials while conveying them to prevent large position changes of the medicinal materials during the conveying process.

[0036] Further, after the cutter head 207 slices the materials, in order to timely let the single sheet-shaped medicinal materials fall to other positions, the cross-sectional shape of the cutting platform 202 is trapezoidal, and the width of the upper surface of the cutting platform 202 is slightly larger than the maximum diameter of the medicinal materials, so as to ensure that each slice of the medicinal materials can be timely discharged, and avoid its interference with the subsequent slicing of the medicinal materials.

[0037] The above specific implementation manners cannot be used as a limitation to the protection scope of the present utility model. For those skilled in the art of this technology, any alternative improvement or transformation made to the implementation manners of the present utility model falls within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0038] Those not detailed in the present utility model are all well-known technologies to those skilled in the art of this technology.
