[0016] The following will be combined with the drawings in 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.

[0017] See also Figure 1-2 The present invention provides a technical solution: a linear reciprocating medicine cutting machine with easily adjustable specifications, comprising a mounting base 1, on which are arranged, from left to right, a fixed frame 2, a first slide rail 3, and a second slide rail 4; the number of first slide rails 3 is two and they are arranged parallel to each other; the fixed frame 2 is provided with a transverse driving device 5, the driving end of which is provided with a connecting seat 6, and the upper side of the connecting seat 6 is provided with a movable plate 7; the lower end of the movable plate 7 is slidably mounted on the track of the second slide rail 4, the movable plate 7 is provided with a transfer groove 8, the upper side of which is provided with a cutter 9, and the cutter 9 is provided at the driving end of a telescopic cylinder 10; the feed end of the transfer groove 8 is provided with a reciprocating feeding conveyor, and the reciprocating feeding conveyor is provided with a placement groove for placing the medicine to be cut; the mounting base 1 is provided with a support rod and two photoelectric sensors 11, which are sensors that use the photoelectric effect to detect light intensity or light beam obstruction. The photoelectric sensor mainly consists of a light source, a photodetector, and a signal processing circuit. Photoelectric sensors play a vital role in fields such as automated control, robotics, logistics management, and various precision measurements.

[0018] When light strikes a photodetector, it generates an electrical signal. After amplification and processing, this signal can be recognized by a controller and the corresponding action can be taken. For example, on a production line, if an object passes under a photoelectric sensor and blocks the light, the sensor generates a signal that notifies the controller to count or initiate the next step.

[0019] However, in practical applications, photoelectric sensors may experience unstable output signals. This can be caused by a variety of reasons, including unstable power supply, excessively high detection frequency, object dimensions not meeting requirements, being outside the sensor's stable detection area, and electrical interference. These issues can be addressed by ensuring the sensor receives a stable voltage supply, slowing the object's speed, ensuring the object's dimensions meet standards, placing the object within the sensor's stable detection area, and taking appropriate protective measures.

[0020] In addition to these common photoelectric sensors, there are also specialized types, such as photoelectric dual-output visual mechanical sensors. These sensors not only sense pressure but also visualize pressure information in real time through luminescence or triboelectricity. These sensors have broad application prospects in pressure monitoring, robotic tactile sensing, and other areas.

[0021] In summary, photoelectric sensors are powerful and widely used detection devices. Through rational design and proper use, their advantages can be fully utilized to achieve precise control and monitoring of various complex systems. The monitoring position of photoelectric sensor 11 corresponds to the position of transfer trough 8. A controller 12 is mounted on the support rod and is electrically connected to the drive motor 5, the reciprocating feed conveyor, and the telescopic cylinder 10.

[0022] The monitoring position of the photoelectric sensor 11 is precisely aligned with the position of the transfer trough 8, ensuring that the material's position information can be accurately captured during the material transfer process. A controller 12 is cleverly designed on the support rod. This controller acts as a hub, receiving and processing signals from the photoelectric sensor and issuing corresponding operating instructions based on these signals. The controller 12 is electrically connected to the transverse drive 5, the reciprocating feed conveyor, and the telescopic cylinder 10, forming an efficient and tight electrical control system. This design enables the entire material transfer process to be automated and precise, greatly improving production efficiency and reducing labor costs. The controller 12 is like an intelligent brain, capable of monitoring and adjusting the operating status of the transverse drive 5 in real time, ensuring that the reciprocating feed conveyor and the telescopic cylinder 10 can accurately and promptly deliver and remove materials according to production needs. Through this electrical connection, the entire system achieves a high degree of collaborative work, making the entire production process smoother and more efficient.

[0023] Specifically, a series of threaded holes are meticulously machined on the surface of the mounting base plate 1. These holes are designed to receive mounting bolts. They penetrate the base plate and form internal threads that mate with external threads. These holes secure the mounting bolts tightly to the base plate, ensuring a secure connection. This design allows the base plate to be tightly connected to other components, ensuring long-term reliability, whether transmitting torque in mechanical devices or bearing loads in structures. Furthermore, the layout and number of threaded holes on the base plate are tailored to specific project requirements to ensure accurate installation and structural integrity.

[0024] Specifically, a spacer plate is cleverly designed at the junction of the second rail 4 and the mounting base 1. This spacer plate provides both cushioning and adjustment, further stabilizing the connection between the second rail 4 and the mounting base 1. Furthermore, the spacer plate can be adjusted in height to suit different usage scenarios. The spacer plate not only improves the stability and reliability of the entire structure but also increases its flexibility.

[0025] Specifically, the lateral drive device 5 is composed of a series of precision components, including a drive motor, a threaded rod and a screw support. In this device, the drive motor is installed in the upper position of the fixed frame 2, which provides the power source for the entire system. The threaded rod is located between the output end of the drive motor and the screw support. Its main function is to convert the rotational motion of the motor into linear motion, thereby driving the entire device to move laterally. In addition, the screw support is installed above the mounting base 1, which provides stable support for the screw. It is worth noting that the thread of the threaded rod runs through the entire connecting seat 6. This design can ensure that the connection between the threaded rod and the screw support is more firm, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the entire device.

[0026] Specifically, a stabilizing plate 13 is designed between the connecting base 6 and the movable plate 7 to ensure the stability of the entire structure and prevent unnecessary shaking or vibration during movement. Sliders 14 are mounted on the front and rear sides of the lower end surface of this stabilizing plate 13. These slides 14 are key components, capable of sliding smoothly on the track of the first slide rail 3. This design allows the movable plate 7 to move smoothly on the connecting base 6, while the sliding of the slides 14 on the slide rails also ensures the stability and accuracy of the movable plate 7 during movement.

[0027] Working principle: When the utility model is working, through the setting of the first slide rail 3 and the second slide rail 4, combined with the horizontal drive device 5, the medicine cutting machine can flexibly control the horizontal position of the movable plate 7, thereby facilitating the transfer of the cut medicines, greatly improving production efficiency and flexibility; the transfer groove 8 arranged on the movable plate 7 cooperates with the cutter 9 and the reciprocating feeding conveyor belt, combined with the precise control of the telescopic cylinder 10, to ensure the accuracy and consistency of medicine cutting, and effectively avoid waste and damage of medicines; the setting of the reciprocating feeding conveyor belt realizes the automatic feeding function of medicines, which not only reduces the labor intensity of the operator, but also improves work efficiency and safety; through the installed photoelectric sensor 11 and controller 12, the cutting status of the medicine can be monitored in real time, and when the medicine reaches the specified position, the cutter 9 is automatically triggered to cut.

[0028] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," "connected," and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention in specific circumstances.
