[0025] The following will be combined with the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] refer to Figure 1-9 , a medicinal material slicer includes a shell 1, a discharge hopper 101 is provided on one side of the shell 1, a cutting disc 102 is rotatably connected inside the discharge hopper 101, and a cutting mechanism 103 is provided on the cutting disc 102. The cutting mechanism 103 is the prior art disclosed in the comparative document, so this application will not repeat it again. A feed pipe 104 is provided on the top of the shell 1, and a cutting space is formed between the bottom of the feed pipe 104 and the cutting disc 102. A driving mechanism for rotating the cutting disc 102 is provided in the shell 1. When the medicinal material passes through the feed pipe 104 to the top of the cutting plate, the distance between the bottom of the feed pipe 104 and the cutting mechanism 103 is the cutting thickness of the medicinal material. When the operator drives the cutting disc 102 to rotate through the driving mechanism, the cutting disc 102 will drive the cutting mechanism 103 to cut the medicinal material.

[0027] A sealing cover 105 is threadedly connected to the side of the feed pipe 104 away from the cutting disk 102, and a first elastic member 106 is provided on the side of the sealing cover 105 facing the inside of the feed pipe 104, and one end of the first elastic member 106 is fixedly connected to the sealing cover 105, and the other end of the first elastic member 106 is fixedly connected to a push plate 107, and the push plate 107 is slidingly connected to the inside of the feed pipe 104.

[0028] By setting a sealing cover 105, a first elastic member 106 and a push plate 107. When the staff puts the medicinal materials into the feed tube 104 of the slicer, the push plate 107 can be placed inside the feed tube 104 and brought into contact with the medicinal materials. At the same time, the operator presses down the sealing cover 105 to compress the first elastic member 106. When the sealing cover 105 contacts the feed tube 104, the operator can rotate the sealing cover 105 and screw it into the feed tube 104, so that the first elastic member 106 is always in a compressed state. Because the threaded connection is self-locking, the first elastic member 106 will apply force downward to push the medicinal materials to complete the feeding action, thereby avoiding fatigue caused by long-term work of the staff and reducing the labor intensity of the operators. At the same time, the set push plate 107 can increase the contact area between the first elastic member 106 and the medicinal materials, thereby improving the feeding efficiency.

[0029] Furthermore, the sealing cover 105 is fixedly connected to the anti-deflection column 108 on one side facing the inside of the feed tube 104, and the first elastic member 106 is sleeved on the outer surface of the anti-deflection column 108. The anti-deflection column 108 is slidingly connected with a telescopic rod 109 inside, and the end of the telescopic rod 109 away from the sealing cover 105 is fixedly connected to the push plate 107. By sleeved the first elastic member 106 on the outer surface of the anti-deflection column 108 and fixedly connecting one end of the telescopic rod 109 to the push plate 107, the first elastic member 106 can be prevented from twisting or deforming when pushing the medicinal materials, thereby improving the service life of the first elastic member 106.

[0030] In this embodiment, a housing 2 is provided in the housing 1, and the driving mechanism includes a rotary motor 201, a first synchronous pulley 202, and a second synchronous pulley 203. The rotary motor 201 is provided in the housing 2 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 2 by bolts. The first synchronous pulley 202 is provided on the output end of the rotary motor 201 and is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotary motor 201. The first synchronous pulley 202 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 2. The bottom of the cutting disc 102 is provided with a first rotating shaft 204, and the first rotating shaft 203 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 2. 4 is rotatably connected to the accommodating space 2, the second synchronous pulley 203 is set on the first rotating shaft 204 and fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 204, the first synchronous pulley 202 and the second synchronous pulley 203 are connected by a synchronous belt 205, and the synchronous pulley adopts a toothed structure, which can effectively transmit the power of the rotating motor 201 to the cutting disk 102, reduce energy loss, and improve transmission efficiency. At the same time, the synchronous pulley transmission has good stability, can maintain transmission stability during high-speed operation, reduce vibration and noise, and improve the reliability of the equipment.

[0031] Furthermore, a vibration rod 3 is provided on the side of the discharge hopper 101 close to the feed pipe 104, and a mounting block 301 is fixedly connected to the side of the accommodating space 2 close to the discharge hopper. A vibration groove 302 is provided inside the mounting block 301. One side of the vibration rod 3 is slidingly connected to the inner wall of the vibration groove 302, and the other side of the vibration rod 3 abuts against the feed pipe 104. One end of the second elastic member 303 is fixedly connected to the side of the vibration groove 302 away from the feed pipe 104, and the other end of the second elastic member 303 is fixedly connected to the vibration rod 3 (it should be noted that the second elastic member 303 is in a compressed state in the illustrated state). The first elastic member 106 and the second elastic member 303 are both cylindrical compression springs, and a power component for causing the vibration rod 3 to hit the feed pipe 104 is provided in the accommodating space 2.

[0032] The power assembly provided allows the feed tube 104 to vibrate when the worker inserts the medicinal herbs, thereby aligning the irregularly arranged herbs. This maximizes the use of the space within the feed tube 104 and increases the amount of herbs that can be inserted. Furthermore, the vibration within the feed tube 104 reduces the probability of herbal clogging within the feed tube 104, thereby improving the feeding efficiency of the feed tube 104, saving the time and cost of manual unclogging, and enhancing practicality.

[0033] Specifically, the power assembly includes a rack 405, an incomplete gear 406 (the incomplete gear 406 has gear teeth on one side and no gear teeth on the other side), a drive motor 10, a slide groove 407 is provided at the bottom of the mounting block 301, the rack 405 is arranged at the bottom of the vibration rod 3 and is fixedly connected to the vibration rod 3, and the rack 405 is slidingly connected to the inside of the slide groove 407, and a third rotating shaft 403 is rotatably connected in the accommodating space 2, the incomplete gear 406 is arranged on the third rotating shaft 403 and is fixedly connected to the third rotating shaft 403, and the incomplete gear 406 is engaged with the rack 405, the drive motor 10 is arranged on the side of the shell 1 and is fixedly connected to the shell 1, and the output end of the drive motor 10 is fixedly connected to the third rotating shaft 403.

[0034] In order to prevent the vibration rod 3 from being offset under the drive of the power component, guide grooves 408 are provided on both sides of the vibration groove 302, and guide blocks 409 are provided on both sides of the vibration rod 3. The guide blocks 409 are slidingly connected to the inner walls of the guide grooves 408. The guide blocks 409 and guide grooves 408 are set, which can prevent the vibration rod 3 from being offset or misaligned during the movement, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the vibration rod 3. At the same time, this can also ensure that the second elastic member 303 is evenly stressed, thereby increasing the service life of the second elastic member 303.

[0035] Working principle:

[0036] When adding materials to the feeding pipe 104, the driving motor 10 can be started, and the output end of the driving motor 10 will drive the third rotating shaft 403 to rotate, and the third rotating shaft 403 will drive the incomplete gear 406 to rotate. When the incomplete gear 406 is engaged with the rack 405, it will drive the rack 405 to move away from the cutting disk 102, thereby causing the vibration rod 3 to move in the direction of compressing the second elastic member 303. When the incomplete gear 406 is not engaged with the rack 405, the second elastic member 303 will restore its deformation, causing the vibration rod 3 to hit the side of the feeding pipe 104, causing the feeding pipe 104 to vibrate. This reciprocating process can arrange the medicinal materials inside the feeding pipe 104 neatly, and maximize the use of the space inside the feeding pipe 104.

[0037] When the operator has finished feeding, they place the push plate 107 into the feed tube 104 and bring it into contact with the medicinal material. Simultaneously, they press down on the sealing cap 105, compressing the first elastic member 106. Once the sealing cap 105 is in contact with the feed tube 104, the operator rotates the sealing cap 105, screwing it into the feed tube 104 to keep the first elastic member 106 compressed. Because the threaded connection is self-locking, the first elastic member 106 exerts downward force, pushing the medicinal material to complete the feeding process.

[0038] After the feeding is completed, the operator can start the rotating motor 201 to rotate the output end of the rotating motor 201. The rotating motor 201 will drive the first synchronous pulley 202 to rotate, and the second synchronous pulley 203 will rotate under the drive of the synchronous belt 205. The second synchronous pulley 203 will drive the cutting disk 102 to rotate through the first rotating shaft 204, so that the cutting mechanism 103 on the top of the cutting disk 102 cuts the medicinal materials. During cutting, the operator can also start the power component to generate vibration in the feeding pipe 104 to reduce the probability of blockage inside the feeding pipe 104.

[0039] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
