Detailed implementation manners

[0024] The following will be further described in detail with reference to the attached Figure 1 - attached Figure 5 This application will be further described in detail.

[0025] The embodiment of the present application discloses a Chinese medicine slicing machine with anti-sticking knife. Referring to Figures 1 - 5 , a Chinese medicine slicing machine with anti-sticking knife includes a working plate 1. Four corners of the bottom of the working plate 1 are fixedly provided with support legs 2, and two pairs of support rods 4 are fixedly provided at the top. The working plate 1 is installed with a top plate 5 through two pairs of support rods 4. A cylinder 6 is fixedly provided at the top of the top plate 5. The output end of the cylinder 6 penetrates through the top plate 5 and is fixedly provided with a connecting plate 7. A knife plate 8 is fixedly provided on the connecting plate 7, and a plurality of cutters 9 are fixedly provided at equal intervals on the knife plate 8. A storage box 3 is also installed on the working plate 1; during use, first, the staff places the medicinal materials to be sliced in the storage box 3, and then starts the cylinder 6. The cylinder 6 pushes the connecting plate 7 and the knife plate 8 to move downward, so that the cutters 9 slice the medicinal materials;

[0026] The bottom of the storage box 3 is fixedly provided with a discharge port 10, and the discharge port 10 is communicated with the storage box 3. A baffle 11 and a mounting plate 20 are respectively slidably connected inside the storage box 3. One side of the baffle 11 is fixedly provided with a pair of guide rods 12. The pair of guide rods 12 penetrate through the storage box 3 and are installed with nuts through threads. Return springs 13 are sleeved on the outer walls of the pair of guide rods 12, and the return springs 13 are located between the baffle 11 and the inner wall of the storage box 3;

[0027] A brush 22 is fixed to the bottom of the mounting plate 20, and a fixing plate 21 is fixed to the top. A moving plate 18 penetrates through the fixing plate 21. A first push plate 17 and a second push plate 19 are respectively fixed to both sides of the moving plate 18. A guide groove 23 is formed on the working plate 1, and an H-shaped sliding plate 24 is slidably connected to the guide groove 23. A toothed plate 14 is fixed to the bottom of the H-shaped sliding plate 24. One side of the toothed plate 14 is fixedly connected to the first push plate 17. A motor 16 is fixed to the bottom of the working plate 1. A first gear 15 is fixed to the output end of the motor 16. The first gear 15 meshes with the toothed plate 14. A convex groove 26 for the toothed plate 14 and the H-shaped sliding plate 24 to pass through is also formed on the storage box 3;

[0028] When discharging is required, an aggregate box (not shown in the figure) can be placed below the discharge port 10. The staff first starts the motor 16. The motor 16 drives the first gear 15 to rotate. The rotation of the first gear 15 causes the toothed plate 14 meshing with it to move horizontally. Since one side of the toothed plate 14 is fixedly connected to the first push plate 17, the movement of the toothed plate 14 drives the H-shaped sliding plate 24 to slide on the guide groove 23. At the same time, through the movement of the first push plate 17, the moving plate 18 will move on the fixing plate 21, so that the first push plate 17 penetrates through the convex groove 26 and pushes the fixing plate 21 to move. At the same time, the moving plate 18 will drive the second push plate 19 to move, so that one side of it can push the baffle 11 to move, so that the baffle 11 moves to the side away from the discharge port 10 and compresses the return spring 13. At the same time, the mounting plate 20 and the brush 22 slide inside the storage box 3. As the mounting plate 20 moves, the brush 22 pushes the medicinal material slices from the bottom of the storage box 3 towards the discharge port 10, so that the slices can smoothly slide out from the discharge port 10, realizing the function of automatic discharging. During the whole discharging process, the staff does not need to directly contact the slicing knife, thus avoiding the injury caused by accidental touching of the slicing knife by the hand, greatly improving the safety of the staff. At the same time, the design of automatic discharging also improves the efficiency and quality of traditional Chinese medicine preparation production and reduces the error caused by human factors;

[0029] After the discharging is completed, the motor 16 can be started again to make the first gear 15 rotate counterclockwise, driving the toothed plate 14 back to the initial position, and then resetting the H-shaped sliding plate 24, the first push plate 17 and the second push plate 19. Under the action of the return spring 13, the baffle 11 will also return to its original position to block the discharge port 10, preventing the medicinal material slices from sliding out from the discharge port 10 during the slicing process. This design not only improves the working efficiency, but also ensures the safety of the staff during the loading process, effectively avoiding the risk of accidental touching of the slicing knife by the hand.

[0030] Refer to Figure 3, at a position symmetrically distributed with the bottom of the working plate 1, a second gear 25 is also rotatably connected. The second gear 25 meshes with the toothed plate 14. Such a design makes the toothed plate 14 more stable during movement, reduces the shaking caused by uneven force, and further improves the efficiency and safety of discharging.

[0031] Refer to Figure 4 , the length of the moving plate 18 is greater than the diameter of the discharge port 10; enough space is reserved to ensure that when the discharge port 10 is fully opened, the baffle 11 will not block the Chinese medicine tablets, thus avoiding the extrusion of the Chinese medicine tablets and ensuring the integrity and quality of the Chinese medicine slices.

[0032] Refer to Figure 1 , above the H-shaped sliding plate 24 at the top of the working plate 1, a feeding plate 27 is fixed; the feeding plate 27 has a certain inclination, so that when the staff adds medicinal materials, the medicinal materials can slide down along the feeding plate 27 into the storage box 3, which not only reduces the labor intensity of the staff, but also improves the feeding efficiency of the medicinal materials.

[0033] Refer to Figure 4 , the guide rod 12 is made of metal; the metal guide rod 12 not only has sufficient strength and stability to support the sliding movement of the baffle 11 and the mounting plate 20, but also has good corrosion resistance, can adapt to various working environments, and extends the service life of the equipment.

[0034] Refer to Figure 4 , the fixing plate 21 and the mounting plate 20 are made of plastic; the plastic fixing plate 21 and mounting plate 20, on the one hand, ensure that they have a certain strength to support the fixing and movement of the brush 22 and the moving plate 18, and on the other hand, the plastic material has a light weight and good corrosion resistance, reducing the overall weight of the equipment, making the operation more convenient, and also extending the service life of the equipment. Especially when the brush 22 needs to be replaced after long-term use, the plastic fixing plate 21 and mounting plate 20 also make the replacement process simpler and more convenient.

[0035] Refer to Figure 5 , the width of the convex groove 26 is slightly larger than the widths of the first pushing plate 17 and the second pushing plate 19; such a design ensures that the first pushing plate 17 and the second pushing plate 19 can move smoothly in the convex groove 26, and will not affect the discharging effect due to being too tight or too loose. At the same time, the slightly larger width also provides a certain space buffer for the movement of the pushing plate, effectively reducing mechanical wear and failures caused by unsmooth movement.

[0036] The implementation principle of a Chinese medicine slicing machine with anti-sticking knife in the embodiments of this application is as follows: During use, first, the staff places the medicinal materials to be sliced in the storage box 3. Subsequently, the air cylinder 6 is started, and the air cylinder 6 pushes the connecting plate 7 and the knife plate 8 to move downward, so that the cutting knife 9 slices the medicinal materials;

[0037] When discharging is required, a collecting box (not shown in the figure) can be placed below the discharge port 10. The staff can start the motor 16, and the motor 16 drives the first gear 15 to rotate. The rotation of the first gear 15 causes the rack 14 engaged with it to move horizontally. Since one side of the rack 14 is fixedly connected to the first push plate 17, the movement of the rack 14 drives the H-shaped slide plate 24 to slide on the guide groove 23. At the same time, through the movement of the first push plate 17, the moving plate 18 will move on the fixed plate 21, so that the first push plate 17 penetrates the convex groove 26 and pushes the fixed plate 21 to move. At the same time, the moving plate 18 will drive the second push plate 19 to move, so that one side of it can push the baffle 11 to move, so that the baffle 11 moves to the side away from the discharge port 10 and compresses the return spring 13. At the same time, the mounting plate 20 and the brush 22 slide inside the storage box 3. As the mounting plate 20 moves, the brush 22 pushes the sliced medicinal materials from the bottom of the storage box 3 towards the discharge port 10, so that the slices can smoothly slide out from the discharge port 10, realizing the function of automatic discharging. During the entire discharging process, the staff does not need to directly contact the slicing knife, thus avoiding the injury caused by accidental contact with the slicing knife by hand, greatly improving the safety of the staff. At the same time, the design of automatic discharging also improves the efficiency and quality of Chinese medicine preparation production and reduces the errors caused by human factors;

[0038] After the discharging is completed, the motor 16 can be started again to make the first gear 15 rotate counterclockwise, driving the rack 14 back to its initial position, and then resetting the H-shaped slide plate 24, the first push plate 17 and the second push plate 19. Under the action of the return spring 13, the baffle 11 will also return to its original position to block the discharge port 10 and prevent the sliced medicinal materials from slipping out of the discharge port 10 during the slicing process. This design not only improves work efficiency but also ensures the safety of the staff during the loading process, effectively avoiding the risk of accidental contact with the slicing knife by hand.
