[0027] To further illustrate various embodiments, this utility model is provided with accompanying drawings. These drawings form part of the disclosure of this utility model and are primarily used to illustrate the embodiments and, in conjunction with the relevant description in the specification, to explain the operating principles of the embodiments.

Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0029] See also Figures 1 to 7 ; The utility model provides a medicinal material shaping machine, including a frame 10, a driving mechanism 20, and an extrusion shaping device 30. The driving mechanism 20 is arranged on the frame 10, and two relatively spaced extrusion mounting seats 11 are arranged at the same height on the frame 10. The extrusion shaping device 30 includes a pair of first extrusion rollers 31, and the two ends of the pair of first extrusion rollers 31 are rotatably arranged on the two extrusion mounting seats 11 respectively. The driving mechanism 20 is used to drive the pair of first extrusion rollers 31 to rotate; a plurality of extrusion gaps 32 are formed between the pair of first extrusion rollers 31 along the axial direction, and the widths of the plurality of extrusion gaps 32 gradually decrease or increase in sequence.
[0030] Among them, nine extrusion gaps 32 are formed between a pair of the first extrusion rollers 31 of the utility model along the axial direction, and the widths of the nine extrusion gaps 32 are 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm, 3.5mm, 4.0mm, 4.2mm, 4.5mm, 5.0mm, 5.2mm, and 5.6mm respectively.
[0031] It can be understood that the present invention designs the number of extrusion gaps 32 to be nine, thereby achieving nine different sizes of extrusion shaping of medicinal materials. That is, the present invention sets a pair of first extrusion rollers 31 on the frame 10, and forms a plurality of extrusion gaps of different sizes between the pair of first extrusion rollers 31. In this way, the pair of first extrusion rollers 31 can be driven by the driving mechanism 20. During the rotation of the pair of first extrusion rollers 31, the medicinal materials can be extruded and shaped by selecting the appropriate extrusion gap according to the shaping size.
[0032] In the present invention, the drive mechanism 20 includes a drive motor and a transmission assembly. The drive motor is disposed on the frame 10 and is drivingly connected to the transmission assembly. The transmission assembly is in transmission connection with the pair of first extrusion rollers 31. The drive motor is used to drive the transmission assembly to rotate, thereby driving the pair of first extrusion rollers 31 to rotate through the transmission assembly. A drive wheel is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the drive motor, and roller wheels are coaxially disposed on the pair of first extrusion rollers 31, respectively. The two roller wheels are meshed with each other. The transmission assembly includes a transmission gear set, which is rotatably disposed on the frame 10 and is meshed with the drive wheel and one of the roller wheels.
[0033] It can be understood that the drive mechanism 20 drives the pair of first extrusion rollers 31 to rotate via a transmission assembly. The drive motor and transmission assembly can employ conventional motor models and transmission gear sets in the art, and will not be further described here. Furthermore, in other embodiments, the transmission assembly can employ a belt or other transmission structure. In other words, the transmission structure between the drive motor and the rollers is conventional in the art.
[0034] In the present invention, bearing grooves are respectively provided on the two extrusion mounting seats 11, and a bearing slider 12 is slidably provided in each bearing groove. An elastic buffer 13 is provided on the bearing slider 12 and one side of the bearing groove. The two ends of one of the first extrusion rollers 31 are respectively rotatably provided in the two bearing sliders 12, and the two ends of the other first extrusion roller 31 are respectively rotatably provided on the two extrusion mounting seats 11.
[0035] The two extrusion mounts 11 are provided with bearings at equal heights on one side of the bearing slot. The first extrusion roller 31 is rotatably mounted at both ends within the two bearings. The elastic buffer 13 is a spring, with a bumper positioned at the end away from the first extrusion roller 31. Furthermore, a distance sensor 16 is provided on the frame 10. The distance sensor 16 is positioned on the side of the first extrusion roller 31 to which the elastic buffer 13 is connected, and is used to measure displacement changes of the first extrusion roller 31.
[0036] It can be understood that the two ends of one of the first extrusion rollers 31 are respectively arranged in a slidable bearing slider 12, and an elastic buffer 13 is provided on the side wall of the bearing slider 12. In this way, when the size of the medicinal material is slightly larger than the extrusion gap 32, the first extrusion roller 31 can be slightly pushed open. At this time, the first extrusion roller 31 is still pressed tightly against the first extrusion roller 31 under the elastic force of the elastic buffer 13, so that an extrusion gap 32 for extruding and shaping the medicinal material can still be formed between the two first extrusion rollers 31, and the change in the extrusion gap 32 can also be measured by the distance sensor 16.
[0037] In the present invention, medicinal material channels 14 are vertically arranged above the multiple extrusion gaps 32 , and output belts 15 are horizontally arranged below the multiple extrusion gaps 32 .
[0038] It can be understood that the vertically designed medicinal material channel 14 facilitates the entry of medicinal materials into the extrusion gap 32, and the horizontally arranged output belt 15 can convey the extruded and shaped medicinal materials out, making it easier for users to take the shaped medicinal materials. It should be noted that the output belt 15 can be driven by a motor. The output belt 15 can adopt a conventional conveyor belt structure, and the motor-driven conveyor belt for conveying is a conventional method in the art, so it will not be further described here.
[0039] Furthermore, in order to improve the effect of extrusion shaping of medicinal materials, the present invention can also set a pair of second extrusion rollers 33 with the same structure below the pair of first extrusion rollers 31, so that the medicinal materials are extruded and shaped twice, effectively improving the shaping effect of the medicinal materials.
[0040] Therefore, the utility model uses a mechanized design to replace the manual method to extrude and shape the medicinal materials, which saves time and labor, and can shape medicinal materials of different sizes, greatly improving the efficiency and applicability of medicinal material shaping.
[0041] The above-described embodiments represent only a few implementation methods of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the medicinal material shaping machine. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the scope of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
