[0042] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, this embodiment provides a slicing assembly that is convenient for adjusting the slicing thickness, which can be specifically referred to as follows:

[0043] As shown in the attached Figure 1 and the attached Figure 2 and the attached Figure 3As shown in the figure, a slicing component that is convenient for adjusting the slicing thickness includes a conveyor belt 1, a fixed housing 2, a sliding component 3, a plurality of cutting knives 4, an adjustment component 5, and a positioning component 6. The fixed housing 2 is arranged on the conveyor belt 1. The two ends of the conveyor belt 1 are support frames, and the two ends of the fixed housing 2 are located on the support frames to prevent it from being directly arranged on the conveyor belt 1, causing collapse and damage to the conveyor belt 1. Inside the fixed housing 2, there is a sliding cavity 21 with an opening facing downwards. The sliding component 3 is arranged in the sliding cavity 21 and can slide vertically inside the sliding cavity 21. Inside the sliding component 3, there is a fixed rod which is arranged horizontally and perpendicular to the moving direction of the conveyor belt 1. A plurality of cutting knives 4 are arranged on the fixed rod. Taking the side wall of the leftmost sliding cavity 21 as a reference, the distance between the leftmost cutting knife 4 and the side wall of the sliding cavity 21 is the same as the interval between adjacent cutting knives 4. The sliding component 3 can drive the cutting knives 4 to move up and down for cutting the Chinese herbal medicine on the conveyor belt 1. An adjustment component 5 is also arranged on the sliding component 3, and the adjustment component 5 is connected to the plurality of cutting knives 4 to adjust the distance between the cutting knives 4 and the side wall of the sliding cavity 21 and the distance between two adjacent cutting knives 4. A positioning component 6 is arranged inside the fixed housing 2, and the positioning component 6 is used to position the Chinese herbal medicine on the conveyor belt 1 to facilitate the cutting knives 4 to slice.

[0044] Specifically, the Chinese herbal medicine can be in a rod shape and be placed horizontally on the conveyor belt 1 for transportation. When the Chinese herbal medicine moves to the bottom of the fixed housing 2, a sensor is arranged at the bottom of the fixed housing 2 to sense the Chinese herbal medicine. The positioning component 6 positions the Chinese herbal medicine. The positioning of the positioning component 6 is based on the side wall of the sliding cavity 21. Then the sliding component 3 drives the cutting knives 4 to slide downwards and cuts the Chinese herbal medicine. The plurality of cutting knives 4 can cut the Chinese herbal medicine into multiple slices at one time, effectively improving the slicing efficiency. At the same time, the cutting knives 4 are arranged at intervals, which can also improve the uniformity of the slicing thickness. After slicing, the positioning component 6 retracts, and the Chinese herbal medicine is transported to the next process under the action of the conveyor belt 1.

[0045] When it is necessary to adjust the slicing thickness, the plurality of cutting knives 4 can be adjusted through the adjustment component 5 so that the distance between the cutting knives 4 and the side wall of the sliding cavity 21 and the distance between adjacent cutting knives 4 are the same, to facilitate cutting the Chinese herbal medicine into sliced medicinal materials with different thicknesses.

[0046] Furthermore, a steel plate can be arranged at the bottom of the conveyor belt 1 to support the cutting knives 4 to cut the Chinese medicinal materials.

[0047] As attached Figure 4As shown, the sliding component 3 includes a sliding plate 31 and a first cylinder 32. The sliding plate 31 is slidably arranged in the sliding cavity 21. The sliding plate 31 is a groove plate with openings at the bottom and both front and rear sides. A fixed rod is arranged inside the sliding plate 31. The top wall of the sliding cavity 21 is provided with a first cylinder 32. One side of the first cylinder 32 away from the top wall of the sliding cavity 21 is connected to the sliding plate 31. By means of the first cylinder 32, the sliding plate 31 can be vertically slid in the sliding cavity 21 so that the cutter 4 can slice Chinese herbal medicines.

[0048] As shown in the attached Figure 4 and attached Figure 5 As shown, the adjustment component 5 includes an adjustment plate 51, a plurality of first rotating plates 52 and a plurality of second rotating plates 53. The adjustment plate 51 is vertically slidably arranged inside the sliding plate 31. A limiting groove 54 is arranged at the bottom of the adjustment plate 51. The plurality of first rotating plates 52 correspond to the plurality of cutters 4 one by one. One end of the first rotating plate 52 is rotatably arranged on the top of the cutter 4. One end of the leftmost first rotating plate 52 away from the cutter 4 is rotatably arranged at one end of the limiting groove 54, that is, this first rotating plate 52 is rotatably arranged with the limiting groove 54, and the other ends of the remaining first rotating plates 52 away from the cutter 4 are movably arranged in the limiting groove 54, that is, the other ends of the remaining first rotating plates 52 away from the cutter 4 are rotatably arranged in the limiting groove 54, and their rotating ends can slide along the limiting groove 54; One end of the plurality of second rotating plates 53 is rotatably arranged inside the first rotating plate 52 on the same cutter 4, and the other end is rotatably arranged at the end of the adjacent first rotating plate 52 away from the cutter 4, that is, the first rotating plate 52 and the second rotating plate 53 on the adjacent cutters 4 are rotationally matched;

[0049] By vertically sliding the adjustment plate 51, the distance between the cutter 4 and the side wall of the sliding cavity 21 and the distance between adjacent cutters 4 can be changed; Specifically, when the adjustment plate 51 moves upward, the leftmost first rotating plate 52 drives the leftmost cutter 4 to approach the side wall of the sliding cavity 21 (the leftmost first rotating plate 52 cannot slide with the limiting groove 54). The leftmost cutter 4 approaches the side wall of the sliding cavity 21, and at the same time pulls the remaining cutters 4 to also approach the side wall of the sliding cavity 21, and pulls the rotational positions of the first rotating plate 52 and the second rotating plate 53 on the adjacent cutters 4 to move towards the side wall of the sliding cavity 21. At the same time, the rotational positions of the first rotating plate 52 and the second rotating plate 53 on the adjacent cutters 4 rise. The first rotating plate 52 and the second rotating plate 53 pull the two cutters 4 to approach each other, so as to adjust the distance between the cutter 4 and the side wall of the sliding cavity 21 and the distance between adjacent cutters 4;

[0050] The first rotating plate 52 and the second rotating plate 53 cooperate to form a folding and telescoping assembly. By adjusting the movement of the adjusting plate 51, the overall elongation and contraction can be adjusted. Since the rotating axes of the first rotating plate 52 and the second rotating plate 53 on the same cutting knife 4 are the same, and the rotating axes at the tops of the second rotating plates 53 on adjacent cutting knives 4 are also the same, the spacing of their elongation and contraction is the same, and the thickness of the slices cut by the cutting knives 4 can be adjusted synchronously.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present application, an adjustment groove 55 is provided inside the sliding plate 31. The adjustment plate 51 is slidably disposed in the adjustment groove 55. A hydraulic rod 56 is provided at the top of the adjustment groove 55. One end of the hydraulic rod 56 away from the top of the adjustment groove 55 is disposed on the adjustment plate 51. By controlling the elongation and contraction of the hydraulic rod 56, the height of the adjustment plate 51 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the spacing between the cutting knife 4 and the side wall of the sliding cavity 21 and the spacing between adjacent cutting knives 4.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present application, a notch 22 is provided on one side of the fixed housing 2. The adjustment plate 51 protrudes from the adjustment groove 55, and the protruding part is located in the notch 22 to facilitate observing the position of the adjustment plate 51 through the notch 22.

[0053] In this embodiment, a scale is provided on one side of the sliding plate 31 close to the notch 22. Manually, the scale on the sliding plate 31 can be seen through the notch 22, and the length of the elongation or retraction of the hydraulic rod 56 can be adjusted by the positional relationship between the adjustment plate 51 and the scale.

[0054] As shown in the attached Figure 2 、attached Figure 3 and attached Figure 6 As shown in the figures, the positioning assembly 6 includes a rotating groove 61, a baffle 62, a first motor, a second cylinder 63 and a positioning plate 65. The rotating groove 61 is provided at the bottom of the fixed housing 2. The baffle 62 is rotatably disposed in the rotating groove 61. The first motor is provided inside the fixed housing 2. The output shaft of the first motor is connected to the rotating shaft of the baffle 62. The baffle 62 can be driven by the first motor to rotate to be parallel or perpendicular to the surface of the conveyor belt 1. A second cylinder 63 is provided on one side of the bottom of the fixed housing 2. The output end of the second cylinder 63 is provided with a push plate 64. The bottom wall of the push plate 64 can contact the surface of the conveyor belt 1. The push plate 64 can be horizontally moved by the second cylinder 63, and at the same time, the Chinese herbal medicine can be pushed to move towards one side wall of the sliding cavity 21 and positioned. A positioning plate 65 is provided on the side of the fixed housing 2 away from the second cylinder 63. The positioning plate 65 corresponds to the push plate 64 and is used to limit the movement of the Chinese herbal medicine;

[0055] Specifically, when the sensor at the bottom of the fixed housing 2 detects that Chinese herbal medicines enter the bottom of the fixed housing 2, the first motor is started to make the baffle 62 perpendicular to the conveyor belt 1 to block the movement of the Chinese herbal medicines. A contact sensor can be arranged on one side of the baffle 62. When the Chinese herbal medicines contact the baffle 62, the contact sensor is triggered. At this time, the conveyor belt 1 can be stopped, and the second cylinder 63 is started. The second cylinder 63 extends to make the push plate 64 push the Chinese herbal medicines towards the positioning plate 65 until the Chinese herbal medicines abut against the positioning plate 65. The second cylinder 63 retracts, and then the sliding assembly 3 drives the cutter 4 to move downward to cut the Chinese herbal medicines. When the cutting is completed, the baffle 62 returns to its initial state under the action of the first motor and is parallel to the conveyor belt 1, and the conveyor belt 1 is started to drive the Chinese herbal medicines to move.

[0056] Further, a pressure sensor is arranged on the side of the push plate 64 close to the positioning plate 65. When the push plate 64 pushes the Chinese herbal medicines to abut against the positioning plate 65, the pressure sensor will transmit a certain pressure value signal, and whether the Chinese herbal medicines are in place can be judged through the pressure value signal.

[0057] In an embodiment of the present application, a guide plate 66 is arranged on one side of the positioning plate 65 for guiding the Chinese herbal medicines.
