Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an automatic blanking device for conveying and slicing American ginseng. Background Art

[0002] For thousands of years, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), deeply rooted in the fertile soil of Chinese civilization, has served as a vital means for people of all ethnic groups in my country to resist disease and maintain health. It has made tremendous contributions to the prosperity of the Chinese nation and the health of people worldwide, and is a treasure of Chinese traditional culture. my country possesses abundant TCM resources. With improved living conditions, people now prefer small packages of neatly sliced ginseng. However, traditional slicing of TCM herbs has always been done manually by pharmacists, resulting in low production efficiency, high labor intensity, and poor precision. Existing slicers often use blades mounted on a reciprocating up-and-down toolholder, which consumes a lot of energy and makes it difficult to collect the slices, resulting in low production efficiency. [CN] Ginseng Slicing Device - CN201833404U proposes a method that uses a pneumatic cylinder and a cutter to perform downward pressure cutting. However, after cutting, the unused cartridges must be manually removed from the machine for recycling. Otherwise, the vacant cartridges would be occupied, hindering the reloading of the ginseng cartridges, which is labor-intensive and reduces production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] Furthermore, the U-shaped frame is composed of a main body fixed on the transmission chain and a plurality of U-shaped grooves opened from the outside to the inside along the length direction of the main body.

[0006] Furthermore, an extrusion head is fixedly connected to the lower end of the pressure rod, and the machine is provided with a through opening on the cutting station for the extrusion head and the ginseng material to descend, and the diameter of the through opening is smaller than the outer diameter of the ginseng tube.

[0007] Furthermore, the top of the ginseng tube is fixedly provided with a flange along its outer periphery for hanging on the U-shaped frame.

[0008] Furthermore, the pressure rods are all arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the U-shaped grooves, and the tops of the pressure rods are fixedly connected as a whole via a connecting plate, and the top of the connecting plate is driven to rise and fall by a lifting cylinder.

[0009] Furthermore, the ginseng tube is in the shape of a cylindrical tube that penetrates from top to bottom, and the ginseng materials are extruded in groups and stuffed into the ginseng tube.

[0010] Furthermore, the arc-shaped top sheet protrudes in an arc shape toward the outside of the transmission chain along the conveying direction, and the upper part of the arc-shaped top sheet is close to the U-shaped frame.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] In order to make the above features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, embodiments are given below with reference to the accompanying drawings for detailed description.

[0018] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the automatic blanking device for conveying and slicing American ginseng comprises a transmission chain 1 located on the upper side of a machine 15, and a plurality of U-shaped frames 3 for supporting ginseng tubes 2 are arranged at intervals on the transmission chain, and the openings of the U-shaped frames face outwards. The machine is provided with a cutter 4 on the lower side of the cutting station and a pressure rod 6 on the upper side for pressing down and cutting the ginseng material 5 in the ginseng tube. An arc-shaped top plate 7 is extended outward in an arc shape on the machine on the rear side of the cutting station along the conveying direction to facilitate ejecting the ginseng tube from the opening of the U-shaped frame, and a ginseng tube recovery tray 8 is provided below the arc-shaped top plate.

[0019] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the U-shaped frame is composed of a main body 9 fixed on the transmission chain and a plurality of U-shaped grooves 10 opened from the outside to the inside along the length direction of the main body.

[0020] In the embodiment of the present invention, the lower end of the pressure rod is fixedly connected to an extrusion head 11, and the machine is provided with a through opening 12 on the cutting station for the extrusion head and the ginseng material to descend. The diameter of the through opening is smaller than the outer diameter of the ginseng tube. The machine also serves to support the ginseng tube and prevent it from descending.

[0021] In the embodiment of the present invention, the top of the paraffin tube is fixedly provided with a flange 13 along its outer periphery for hanging on the U-shaped frame.

[0022] In an embodiment of the present invention, the pressure rods are arranged in three groups corresponding to the U-shaped grooves, that is, three groups of U-shaped grooves are opened on a single U-shaped frame, and the top of the pressure rods are fixedly connected as a whole through a connecting plate 14, and the top of the connecting plate is driven to rise and fall by a lifting cylinder 16.

[0023] In an embodiment of the present invention, a sensor is provided on the cutting station of the machine to sense whether the U-shaped frame is in place, and the sensor is connected to the transmission chain wire.

[0024] In the embodiment of the present invention, the ginseng tube is a cylindrical tube that passes through from top to bottom. The ginseng materials 5 are extruded in groups and stuffed into the ginseng tube. The processes of cleaning, softening, cutting, etc. by extruding the ginseng materials and stuffing them into the ginseng tube are generally set up and will not be elaborated on here.

[0025] In an embodiment of the present invention, the arc-shaped top plate protrudes in an arc shape toward the outside of the transmission chain along the conveying direction, and the upper part of the arc-shaped top plate is close to the U-shaped frame to ensure a larger contact surface with the ginseng cylinder to better extrude the ginseng cylinder outward along the conveying.

[0026] The working principle of the embodiment of the present utility model is as follows: when in use, the ginseng barrel filled with ginseng material is placed in the U-shaped groove and supported by the flange, and then the ginseng material that has passed the softening process is transported into the cutting station along the transmission chain. After it is in place, the transmission chain stops, the cutter rotates, and the lifting cylinder extends to push the ginseng material down at a uniform speed to complete the cutting. After the cutting is completed, the lifting cylinder resets and the transmission chain starts again. As the transmission chain moves, the empty ginseng barrel will gradually be pushed out by the arc-shaped top plate, and finally the ginseng barrel will be horizontally ejected from the notch of the U-shaped groove. The ejected ginseng barrel falls and is recycled and reused by the ginseng barrel recovery plate, and a new ginseng barrel with ginseng material will be placed on the empty U-shaped frame, and then the above operation is repeated, avoiding the steps of manually removing the empty ginseng barrel, which is more convenient and efficient.

[0027] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned best embodiment. Anyone can derive other forms of automatic feeding devices for slicing and conveying American ginseng based on the inspiration of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the present invention should fall within the scope of the present invention.
