Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the processing technology of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, and particularly to an arrangement device for rhizome medicinal materials. Background Art

[0002] The processing of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces involves processes such as cleaning or soaking, drying, screening, cutting, secondary screening, packaging, etc. When cutting rhizome medicinal materials, it is necessary to cut them in batches as much as possible in the same arrangement direction, so as to have high efficiency while ensuring relatively consistent cutting effects. In order to maintain the consistency of cutting effects, manual participation is required for arrangement, resulting in low efficiency; and in order to reduce manual operations, some solutions use a single conveying direction for cutting and pushing. Although the cutting effects are ensured, the number of cuts per time is small, and the efficiency is not very ideal. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] In order to solve the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art, this application provides an arrangement device for rhizome medicinal materials to realize the arrangement of rhizome medicinal materials for facilitating pushing to the cutting process, which is conducive to ensuring the cutting quality.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present utility model adopts the following technologies:

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the following will describe the embodiments of the present utility model in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments.

[0021] The embodiment of the present application provides a rhizome medicinal material arranging device, as Figure 1 shown, which is connected to the conveyor belt 1. The conveyor belt 1 is used to convey the medicinal materials arranged in a single row, and the device is used to push and arrange the conveyed medicinal materials and finally push them to the slicing process.

[0022] Specifically, as Figures 1-4 shown, the device of this example includes a bearing plate 2, a limiting plate 31, a pushing plate 32, a feeding plate 4, etc.

[0023] One side in the length direction of the bearing plate 2 is connected to the end of the conveyor belt 1. At the same time, this side is also used as the side for pushing out the material to the slicing process subsequently.

[0024] The limiting plate 31 includes a limiting vertical plate vertically provided on the bearing plate 2 and a limiting top plate horizontally connected to the upper end of the limiting vertical plate. The limiting vertical plate is arranged opposite to the end of the conveyor belt 1 and has a predetermined distance from the end of the conveyor belt 1. The predetermined distance is set according to the maximum length of a single medicinal material to be conveyed and needs to be greater than the maximum length. As the medicinal materials sent by the conveyor belt 1 enter onto the bearing plate 2 and are limited by the limiting vertical plate, it is convenient for the feeding plate 4 to push them towards the pushing plate 32.

[0025] The pushing plate 32 includes a pushing vertical plate vertically provided on the bearing plate 2 and a pushing top plate horizontally connected to the upper end of the pushing vertical plate. The pushing vertical plate is parallel to the limiting vertical plate and is located at one end of the limiting vertical plate. Specifically, it can be in clearance fit with the limiting vertical plate. The limiting vertical plate is movably arranged along the width direction of the bearing plate 2. Specifically, the pushing plate 32 is connected to the output end of the second cylinder 33. The second cylinder 33 is arranged on the bearing plate 2, and the stroke direction of the output end of the second cylinder 33 is consistent with the width direction of the bearing plate 2. Specifically, in order to facilitate receiving the medicinal materials pushed by the feeding plate 4, an end baffle is provided at the distal end of the pushing plate 32 relative to the limiting plate 31 for limiting the medicinal materials entering the pushing plate 32 within the coverage range of the pushing top plate.

[0026] The feeding plate 4 is located at the end of the conveyor belt 1 and is movably arranged along the length direction on the bearing plate 2. The feeding plate 4 is L-shaped. Its horizontal section is perpendicular to the length direction and is used to push the medicinal materials towards the pushing plate 32, and the vertical section is parallel to the length direction and is used to block the end of the conveyor belt 1. Specifically, the feeding plate 4 is connected to the output end of the first cylinder 41. The first cylinder 41 is arranged on the bearing plate 2, and the stroke direction of the output end of the first cylinder 41 is consistent with the length direction of the bearing plate 2.

[0027] During application, the rhizome medicinal materials conveyed in a single row by the conveyor belt 1 sequentially enter the bearing plate 2. After entering, they are limited by the limiting vertical plate and then are pushed into the pushing plate 32 by the feeding plate 4. During the pushing process, the vertical section of the feeding plate 4 blocks the end of the conveyor belt 1 to prevent the next medicinal material from entering the bearing plate 2 in advance. When the medicinal materials pushed under the pushing top plate are arranged in a full row, the medicinal materials are pushed towards the cutting process through the movement of the pushing plate 32.

[0028] Preferably, in order to adapt to medicinal materials with different outer diameters, they can all be limited to be arranged in a single layer under the pushing top plate, and to avoid stacking when the feeding plate 4 pushes the medicinal materials to the pushing plate 32, such as Figure 2As shown in the figure, multiple pairs of vertical sliding grooves 34 are formed in an array on the pushing vertical plate. A pressing plate 5 is slidably fitted in each pair of vertical sliding grooves 34. The top surfaces of the pressing plates 5 are connected to the pushing top plate through springs 51, and there is a gap between adjacent pressing plates 5. By elastically adapting and restricting the medicinal materials with the pressing plates 5, it can be ensured that when the medicinal materials are slowly piled up to the far end of the pushing plate 32, they are arranged in a single layer, and the elastic method can adapt to medicinal materials with different outer diameters or medicinal materials with outer diameters differing within a certain range in one batch. In this way, in order to facilitate the pushing to the next process, a through groove can be opened in the pushing vertical plate, and another pushing strip can be configured. The pushing strip can movably drive the through groove, specifically controlled by a linear mechanism, for further pushing out each medicinal material in the pushing plate 32 after the pushing plate 32 is integrally moved into place. Specifically, the linear mechanism for driving the pushing strip can be installed on the bearing plate 2 or on the pushing plate 32.

[0029] On this basis, in order to prevent the medicinal materials from getting stuck in the gap between the pressing plates 5, an elastic band 52 connecting the adjacent pressing plates 5 is provided at the gap between the adjacent pressing plates 5. The elastic band 52 can play a good role in guiding and adapting to the lifting and lowering of the pressing plates 5.

[0030] In order to ensure that when the feeding plate 4 is pushed, the materials can be effectively fed under the pushing top plate of the pushing plate 32, an inclined plate 53 can be provided on one pressing plate 5 closest to the feeding plate 4. The inclined plate 53 is integrally connected to the pressing plate 5. The horizontal section of the inclined plate 53 facing the feeding plate 4 provides an enlarged diameter channel for the feeding of the medicinal materials.

[0031] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and are not used to limit the present application. Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application.
