Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medicinal material processing, in particular to a medicinal material slicing tool. Background Art

[0002] There is a great demand for Chinese medicinal materials in medical treatment, medicinal diet, and health care. Most of them need special processing. For some plant rhizome medicinal materials, most of them are in the shape of sticks or long strips, such as Panax notoginseng, Isatis root, Angelica sinensis, Bupleurum, Chinese yam, etc. These medicinal materials need to be dried before use, and then cut into slices. On the one hand, it is convenient for the preservation of the medicinal materials, and on the other hand, they can better absorb the medicinal effects when used.

[0003] For families, small Chinese medicine stores or Chinese medicine clinics, since there are fewer medicinal materials to be processed, a manual slicing device in the form of a guillotine is generally used to slice the medicinal materials. During the slicing process, the user needs to control the guillotine with one hand and hold the medicinal material with the other hand to fix the medicinal material. As the medicinal material is cut shorter, the fingers fixing the medicinal material gradually approach the guillotine, and as the torque gradually decreases, it becomes increasingly difficult for the user to fix the medicinal material. The shaking of the medicinal material will cause uneven slicing of the medicinal material end, which may seriously injure the user. For this reason, we propose a medicinal material slicing tool. Utility Model Content

[0004] One of the technical problems to be solved by the present application is that the existing manual slicing device is difficult to fix when cutting the end of the medicinal material, and the shaking of the medicinal material will cause uneven slicing of the end of the medicinal material, which may seriously injure the user.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a medicinal material slicing tool, comprising a support plate fixedly connected to a metal frame at one end, a cutter rotatably connected to one side of the metal frame, and further comprising:

[0007] A half gear, the half gear being fixedly sleeved on the middle section of the rotating shaft, and a gear set meshing with each other is rotatably connected in the side wall of the mounting seat, and the half gear is meshed and transmission-connected with the gear set;

[0008] A rack, the rack being arranged in the mounting seat and being slidable along the height direction of the mounting seat, one side of the rack being meshed with the gear set through a tooth groove, the top end of the rack being fixedly connected to a slide rod, the top end of the slide rod penetrating the top wall of the mounting seat and being slidably connected to the mounting seat;

[0009] A pressing handle is fixedly connected to the top end of the slide rod. A spring is sleeved on the slide rod below the pressing handle. Two ends of the spring are respectively fixed to the mounting seat and the pressing handle.

[0010] Preferably, four legs distributed in a matrix are fixedly mounted on the bottom of the support plate, and one end of the metal frame away from the cutter extends outward to form a support arm.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the cutter is rotatably connected to the metal frame via a rivet, and the other end of the cutter is fixedly connected to a handle, and a finger groove is provided on the belly of the handle.

[0012] Preferably, bearings are installed at the connection between the two ends of the rotating shaft and the ear plate, the inner ring of the bearing is sleeved on the end of the rotating shaft and fixed to the rotating shaft, and the outer ring of the bearing is embedded in the ear plate and fixed to the ear plate.

[0013] Preferably, the pressing roller has a cylindrical structure, and both ends of the pressing roller are flush with both ends of the mounting seat.

[0014] Preferably, when the spring is in a compressed state, the two pressure rollers rotate downward to fit against the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the mounting seat; when the spring is in an extended state, the two pressure rollers rotate upward to fit against the top wall of the inner cavity of the mounting seat.

[0015] Preferably, a baffle is provided on a side of the cutter away from the support plate, and both ends of the baffle are rotatably connected with bolts, and the bolts pass through the cutter and are screwed to the cutter.

[0016] The utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. When slicing the end of the medicinal material, the user can press the pressure handle to drive the rack connected to the bottom of the slide rod to move downward. During the downward movement of the rack, the gear set drives the half gear to rotate, thereby driving the pressing rollers on both sides to rotate downward at the same time. Cooperating with the bottom wall of the mounting base, the medicinal material is squeezed from three directions to fix the end of the medicinal material, so as to avoid shaking of the medicinal material during slicing, which may easily cut the user's fingers. At the same time, it can make the cross section of the sliced medicinal material smoother, thereby improving the quality of the sliced medicinal material;
