The grinding wheel 4 moves inside the grinding trough to grind the Chinese medicinal materials placed inside the grinding trough.

[0024] A limit buffer assembly is provided between the mortar 2 and the grinding wheel 4.

[0025] The limiting buffer assembly includes a limiting slide rail 5 fixedly installed on the top of the mortar 2. A traction frame 6 is slidably connected inside the limiting slide rail 5. The traction frame 6 is U-shaped. Two extension blocks 7 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the inner wall of the left end of the traction frame 6. A limiting slide groove is opened on the side of the two extension blocks 7 that are close to each other. A vertical slide rod 8 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the two limiting slide grooves. A buffer block 9 is slidably connected to the surface of the two vertical slide rods 8. A clamping spring 10 is sleeved on the surface of the vertical slide rod 8 to drive the buffer block 9 to abut against the inner bottom wall of the limiting slide groove.

[0031] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0032] First, when using the herbal grinding device, connect the entire device to the external power control system, put the herbal medicine into the grinding groove of the grinding mill 2, and then start the servo motor 11 to carry out the grinding process.

[0033] During processing, the servo motor 11 drives the crankshaft 12 to rotate. Under the restriction of the limit slide rail 5, the transmission rod 13 drives the traction frame 6 to move back and forth, thereby driving the extension block 7 and the buffer block 9 to move horizontally. The grinding wheel 4 moves inside the grinding groove to grind the Chinese medicinal materials placed inside the grinding groove. During the grinding process, when the hardness of the Chinese medicinal materials is high, the buffer block 9 can overcome the elastic force of the clamping spring 10 and move upward, thereby driving the edge of the grinding wheel 4 away from the inner bottom wall of the grinding groove, preventing the grinding wheel 4 from getting stuck, and providing safety protection for the entire grinding device.

[0034] After the grinding process is completed, a medicine discharge port is opened, and a baffle 14 is detachably installed at the medicine discharge port. After the Chinese medicinal materials are ground, the baffle 14 can be removed by turning the positioning screw 16, so that the medicine discharge port is connected to the inner top wall of the grinding trough. Then, under the action of the medicine discharge slide 15, the medicine powder inside the medicine mill 2 can be easily taken out for easy use.
