Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine processing, in particular to a high-efficiency slicing device for traditional Chinese medicine pieces. Background Art

[0002] Cutting long herbs into slices of specified sizes is a fundamental and critical step in the preparation of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). How to quickly, accurately, and efficiently complete this step is a key challenge in improving the production efficiency and quality of TCM slices. Traditional slicing methods rely on manual labor, which is not only inefficient but also results in uneven slice size and thickness, seriously impacting the quality of TCM slices.

[0003] The patent with publication number CN211761762U discloses a slicing device for the production of Chinese herbal medicine slices, including a transmission mechanism, a slicing mechanism and a material receiving mechanism. The transmission mechanism includes a fixed frame, a conveyor belt installed in the fixed frame and a driving motor for driving the conveyor belt. The driving motor is installed on the fixed frame, and support legs are fixed on the four corners of the lower end face of the fixed frame; the slicing device includes a gantry installed above the fixed frame, a driving cylinder installed at the center of the upper end face of the gantry, a movable plate arranged in the gantry, a pressing plate installed below the movable plate and a slicing knife, the bottom end of the gantry is fixedly mounted on both sides of the fixed frame by bolts, and the pressing plate is located on the side of the slicing knife close to the feeding end of the conveyor belt, which overcomes the shortcomings of the existing technology, efficiently slices Chinese medicine, keeps the thickness of the slices the same, improves the efficiency of slicing, and saves time and effort.

[0004] During the specific use of the above-mentioned prior art, the staff first places the Chinese medicine on the conveyor belt. Since the surface of the conveyor belt has grooves, the Chinese medicine cannot roll. Then, the driving motor is started by the controller to move the Chinese medicine toward the slicing mechanism. When the Chinese medicine is close to the slicing mechanism, the staff starts the driving cylinder again, and the telescopic end of the driving cylinder extends, moving the movable plate downward. During the downward movement of the movable plate, the pressing plate first contacts the Chinese medicine, and then continues to move downward. The pressing plate begins to squeeze the connecting spring until the slicing knife contacts the Chinese medicine to complete the slicing. However, since multiple Chinese medicinal materials are respectively located in multiple grooves, even if the pressing plate can press all of the multiple Chinese medicinal materials, the slicing knife cannot completely cut the Chinese medicinal materials because the two adjacent grooves are not connected to each other. The slicing knife will be blocked by the surface of the conveyor belt, and the part of the Chinese medicinal material located in the groove cannot be sliced smoothly, resulting in technical defects in the above-mentioned prior art and the inability to successfully complete the slicing operation of the Chinese medicinal materials. In view of this, we propose an efficient slicing device for Chinese herbal medicine slices. Utility Model Content
