Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical equipment technology, specifically to a vertical rotary slicer. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of traditional Chinese medicine, some block-shaped medicines need to be processed into slices, such as yam, angelica dahurica, and trichosanthes kirilowii. Currently, some factories slice these herbs manually, which has the following disadvantages:

[0003] 1. Manual slicing can easily cause workplace injuries such as hand cuts;

[0004] 2. Low production efficiency;

[0005] 3. The thickness of the sliced ​​Chinese medicinal herbs is uncontrollable. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a vertical rotary slicer that can improve production efficiency and slice consistency while reducing workplace injuries.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a vertical rotary slicer, comprising:

[0008] The workbench is provided with a material discharge hole;

[0009] A material frame is provided on the workbench, and a discharge port communicating with its inner cavity is opened on one side wall of the material frame;

[0010] The tool holder disk faces and is spaced apart from the material frame. The lower part of the tool holder disk is located in the material drop hole. The tool holder disk has a plurality of cutting holes that run through the front and back in a circumferential row.

[0011] There are multiple cutters, and one cutter is installed in each of the cutting holes. The cutting edge of the cutter is exposed in the cutting hole in the direction close to the material frame. When the cutter holder rotates, each cutter can sequentially sweep across the front of the cutting hole.

[0012] A rotary drive structure, connected to the tool holder disk, is used to drive the tool holder disk to rotate; and

[0013] The pressing mechanism, connected to the material frame, is used to press the gaps between the blocky medicinal materials in the material frame onto the knife holder disc.

[0014] Furthermore, the pressing mechanism includes a push plate, a push rod, and a reciprocating linear motion drive source. The push plate is located inside the material frame, the push rod is arranged perpendicular to the tool holder disk and connected to the push plate, and the reciprocating linear motion drive source is connected to the push rod to drive the push rod to reciprocate perpendicular to the tool holder disk.

[0015] Furthermore, the reciprocating linear motion drive source includes a rotary power source, a rotary disk, and a connecting rod. The rotary power source is used to drive the rotary disk to rotate. The rotary disk is provided with an eccentric shaft. One end of the connecting rod is hinged to the push rod, and the other end is provided with a through hole. The connecting rod is sleeved with the eccentric shaft through the through hole. When the rotary power source rotates continuously, it can drive the push rod to reciprocate linear motion through the connecting rod.

[0016] Furthermore, the length of the push rod can be automatically adjusted.

[0017] Furthermore, the push rod includes a sleeve rod, a plug rod, and an elastic element. The sleeve rod and the plug rod are inserted into each other. The elastic element is disposed inside the sleeve rod and supported on the plug rod. The ends of the sleeve rod and the plug rod that are far apart from each other are connected to the connecting rod and the push plate, respectively.

[0018] Furthermore, the length of the cutter extending beyond the cutting hole is adjustable.

[0019] Furthermore, the cutter is provided with a waist-shaped hole, and the cutter is fixed in the cutting hole by a locking bolt passing through the waist-shaped hole. When the cutter moves along the cutting hole, the length of the cutter extending out of the cutting hole can be adjusted.

[0020] Furthermore, it also includes a feeding hopper, which is disposed above the workbench and is used to store multiple block-shaped medicinal materials, and the block-shaped medicinal materials on the feeding hopper can slide into the material frame.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0022] In operation, the aforementioned vertical rotary slicer is used by placing the lumpy medicinal material between the pressing mechanism and the blade holder. The rotary drive and pressing mechanism are then activated. The blade holder rotates, and when the cutter reaches the front of the cutting hole, the pressing mechanism pushes the lumpy medicinal material towards the cutting hole. As the blade holder continues to rotate, the cutter performs a slicing action on the side of the lumpy medicinal material closest to the blade holder. The sliced ​​material falls into the cutting hole and then descends along the cutting hole from the side away from the pressing mechanism, finally exiting through the discharge hole.

[0023] After one slice is completed, the pressing mechanism immediately retracts while the blade holder continues to rotate. When the next cutter rotates to the front of the cutting hole, the pressing mechanism moves forward to push the medicinal material outward for another cut.

[0024] Using the above-mentioned device, the slicing of medicinal materials can be completed conveniently and quickly. At the same time, the thickness of the processed medicinal materials can be controlled, and the slices are of uniform thickness. Since no manual intervention is required throughout the process, harm to workers can be reduced. Attached Figure Description

[0032] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be practiced in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of the invention; therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a vertical rotary slicer, including a worktable 100, a material frame 200, a blade holder 300, a cutter 400, a rotary drive structure 500, and a pressing mechanism 600.

[0034] Specifically, the worktable 100 has a material drop hole 110. The material frame 200 is set on the worktable 100. One side wall of the material frame 200 has a discharge port communicating with its inner cavity. The tool holder 300 faces and is spaced apart from the material frame 200. The lower part of the tool holder 300 is located in the material drop hole 110. The tool holder 300 has multiple through cutting holes 310 arranged in a circumferential row.

[0035] There are multiple cutters 400, one of which is installed in each cutting hole 310. The cutting edge of the cutter 400 protrudes from the cutting hole 310 towards the material frame 200. When the cutter holder 300 rotates, each cutter 400 sequentially sweeps across the front of the cutting hole 310. The rotary drive structure 500 is connected to the cutter holder 300 and is used to drive the cutter holder 300 to rotate. The pressing mechanism 600 is connected to the material frame 200 and is used to press the blocky medicinal materials in the material frame 200 onto the cutter holder 300.

[0036] In use, the lumpy medicinal material is placed between the pressing mechanism 600 and the blade holder 300, and then the rotary drive structure 500 and the pressing mechanism 600 are activated. The blade holder 300 rotates, and when the cutter 400 rotates to the front of the cutting hole 310, the pressing mechanism 600 pushes the lumpy medicinal material toward the cutting hole 310. As the blade holder 300 continues to rotate, the cutter 400 performs a slicing action on the side of the lumpy medicinal material closest to the blade holder 300. The sliced ​​material falls into the cutting hole 310 and falls along the cutting hole 310 away from the pressing mechanism 600, finally falling out of the discharge hole 110.

[0037] After one slicing is completed, the pressing mechanism 600 immediately retracts, while the blade holder 300 continues to rotate. When the next cutter 400 rotates to the front of the cutting hole 310, the pressing mechanism 600 moves forward again to push the medicinal material outward for another cut.

[0038] Using the above-mentioned device, the slicing of medicinal materials can be completed conveniently and quickly. At the same time, the thickness of the processed medicinal materials can be controlled, and the slices are of uniform thickness. Since no manual intervention is required throughout the process, harm to workers can be reduced.

[0039] In this embodiment, the pressing mechanism 600 includes a push plate 610, a push rod 620, and a reciprocating linear motion drive source 630. The push plate 610 is located inside the material frame 200, and the push rod 620 is arranged perpendicular to the tool holder disk 300 and connected to the push plate 610. The reciprocating linear motion drive source 630 is connected to the push rod 620 and is used to drive the push rod 620 to reciprocate perpendicular to the tool holder disk 300.

[0040] Specifically, the reciprocating linear motion drive source 630 includes a rotary power source 631, a rotary disk 632, and a connecting rod 633. The rotary power source 631 drives the rotary disk 632 to rotate. The rotary disk 632 is equipped with an eccentric shaft, and one end of the connecting rod 633 is hinged to the push rod 620, while the other end is provided with a through hole. The connecting rod 633 is sleeved with the eccentric shaft through the through hole. When the rotary power source 631 rotates continuously, it can drive the push rod 620 to reciprocate linearly through the connecting rod 633.

[0041] In use, when the rotary power source 631 rotates and drives the rotary disk 632 to complete one revolution, the connecting rod 633 can push the push rod 620 once, thereby performing one pressing action. In specific implementation, the rotation cycle of the rotary power source 631 should be matched with the cycle of the rotary drive structure 500 of the tool holder disk 300 and the number of cutters 400. For example, when there are 3 cutters 400, the rotary power source 631 needs to rotate 3 revolutions for the tool holder disk 300 to rotate one revolution; when there are 4 cutters 400, the rotary power source 631 needs to rotate 4 revolutions for the tool holder disk 300 to rotate one revolution, and so on.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the length of the push rod 620 is automatically adjustable. By automatically adjusting the length of the push rod 620, as the remaining thickness of the blocky medicinal material becomes thinner, the length of the push rod 620 should become longer, thereby ensuring the pushing effect.

[0043] Specifically, the push rod 620 includes a sleeve rod 621, an insert rod 622, and an elastic element 623. The sleeve rod 621 and the insert rod 622 are inserted into each other, and the elastic element 623 is disposed inside the sleeve rod 621 and supported on the insert rod 622. The ends of the sleeve rod 621 and the insert rod 622 that are far apart from each other are connected to the connecting rod 633 and the push plate 610, respectively.

[0044] In this way, the length of the push rod 620 can automatically adapt to the thickness of the blocky medicinal material, thereby ensuring the pushing effect.

[0045] In another embodiment, the length of the cutter 400 extending out of the cutting hole 310 is adjustable.

[0046] Specifically, the cutter 400 is provided with a waist-shaped hole 410. The cutter 400 is fixed in the cutting hole 310 by a locking bolt passing through the waist-shaped hole 410. When the cutter 400 moves along the cutting hole 310, the length of the cutter 400 extending out of the cutting hole 310 can be adjusted.

[0047] When using the slicing tool, the thickness of the slice can be adjusted by changing the length of the extended blade 400. Specifically, when the extended blade 400 is longer, the slice thickness increases; conversely, when the extended blade 400 is shorter, the slice thickness decreases.

[0048] Specific implementation methods of the above-mentioned multi-blade medicine cutting device:

[0049] In use, first adjust the length of the cutter 400 extending out of the cutting hole 310 according to the required slice thickness. Then place the block-shaped medicinal material between the pressure plate and the blade holder 300. Then start the rotary drive structure 500 and the rotary power source 631. During the rotation of the blade holder 300, the cutter 400 performs the slicing work. The sliced ​​material falls into the cutting hole 310 and falls along the cutting hole 310 from the side away from the pressure mechanism 600, and finally falls out from the discharge hole 110.

[0050] Using the above-mentioned device, the slicing of medicinal materials can be completed conveniently and quickly. At the same time, it can process medicinal slices of the required thickness, and the processed medicinal slices are of uniform thickness. In addition, it can reduce the harm to workers.

[0051] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this utility model.
