In the following description, a large number of specific details are set forth in order to facilitate a thorough understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, so the present application is not limited to the specific implementations disclosed below.

[0034] Referring to Figures 1 to 5 The utility model provides a rotary traditional chinese medicine slicing machine, including workbench 100, tool rest disc 200, rotary drive mechanism 300, cutting knife 400, material frame 500 and material pressing mechanism 600.

[0035] Specifically, the tool rest disc 200 is located above the workbench 100, and the central axis of the tool rest disc 200 is perpendicular to the ground. A plurality of cutting holes 210 are arranged on the tool rest disc 200 in a circumferential direction. The rotary drive mechanism 300 is connected to the tool rest disc 200 and is configured to drive the tool rest disc 200 to rotate about the central axis.

[0036] The cutting knife 400 has a plurality of cutting knives 400, and each cutting hole 210 is provided with one cutting knife 400. The cutting edge of the cutting knife 400 is exposed upwardly from the cutting hole 210, and the cut piece cut by the cutting knife 400 can fall from the cutting hole 210.

[0037] The material frame 500 is located above the tool rest disc 200, and the material frame 500 is open upwardly and downwardly. When the tool rest disc 200 rotates, each cutting hole 210 can pass through the material frame 500 sequentially. The material pressing mechanism 600 is located above the material frame 500 and is configured to press the block-shaped medicinal material in the material frame 500 tightly on the tool rest disc 200 when the cutting hole 210 passes through the material frame 500.

[0038] In use, the block-shaped medicinal material is placed in the material frame 500, and then the rotary drive mechanism 300 and the material pressing mechanism 600 are started. When the cutting hole 210 and the cutting knife 400 pass through the material frame 500, the block-shaped medicinal material in the material frame 500 is pressed tightly on the tool rest disc 200. During the rotation of the cutting knife 400, the block-shaped medicinal material is cut into pieces, and the cut pieces fall from the cutting hole 210. With the continuous rotation of the tool rest disc 200, the cutting operation can be continuously performed until all the cutting work is completed.

[0039] In the embodiment, the material pressing mechanism 600 includes a pressing plate 610 and a first reciprocating linear motion drive source 620. The pressing plate 610 is located directly above the material frame 500. The first reciprocating linear motion drive source 620 is arranged above the tool rest disc 200 through a rack and is connected to the pressing plate 610 and configured to drive the pressing plate 610 to move vertically to the material frame 500.

[0040] In use, in order to facilitate the rotation of the knife holder disc 200, the first reciprocating linear motion driving source 620 can be driven intermittently, that is, the pressing plate 610 is pressed only when the cutting knives 400 are cutting, and is not pressed when the cutting knives 400 are not cutting. In addition, in the embodiment, the rotary driving mechanism 300 can also be an intermittent driving structure, that is, the rotary driving mechanism 300 is paused when the cutting knives 400 are about to pass below the material frame 500, and is started again after the pressing mechanism 600 is completely pressed, so as to ensure the pressing effect.

[0041] The rotary traditional Chinese medicine slicing machine can greatly improve the slicing speed, and can avoid injuries such as cutting hands, since the plurality of cutting knives 400 work simultaneously with the rotation of the knife holder disc 200. In addition, the slicing thickness can be controlled since the slicing thickness is basically the same.

[0042] In the embodiment, the pressing mechanism 600 includes the pressing plate 610 and the first reciprocating linear motion driving source 620. The pressing plate 610 is located directly above the material frame 500, and the first reciprocating linear motion driving source 620 is arranged above the knife holder disc 200 through the frame and is connected with the pressing plate 610, for driving the pressing plate 610 to move vertically to the material frame 500.

[0043] In the embodiment, the pressing mechanism 600 includes the pressing plate 610 and the first reciprocating linear motion driving source 620. The pressing plate 610 is located directly above the material frame 500, and the first reciprocating linear motion driving source 620 is arranged above the knife holder disc 200 through the frame and is connected with the pressing plate 610, for driving the pressing plate 610 to move vertically to the material frame 500.

[0044] As a preferred embodiment, the pressing mechanism 600 further includes a guide rod 630, and the frame is provided with a guide hole parallel to the driving direction of the first reciprocating linear motion driving source 620. The bottom end of the guide rod 630 is fixedly connected with the first reciprocating linear motion driving source 620, and the top end of the guide rod 630 can slide through the guide hole. The guide rod can further guide the movement of the pressing plate 610.

[0045] As another preferred embodiment, the device further includes a lifting block 700, and the top of the lifting block is higher than the height of the cutting knives 400 extending out of the cutting hole 210. The lifting block 700 is arranged on the knife holder disc 200 and is close to the side of the material frame 500. The lifting block 700 is provided with a wedge-shaped surface gradually inclined upward, and the material frame 500 is arranged on the workbench 100 through an elastic element 800 which can be vertically extended and retracted.

[0046] In the embodiment, the elastic element 800 includes a plurality of springs, and the springs are connected between the material frame 500 and the workbench 100. In the embodiment, the elastic element 800 includes a plurality of springs, and the springs are connected between the material frame 500 and the workbench 100.

[0047] In the cutting process, as the cutter holder disc 200 rotates, when the material frame 500 is about to approach the cutter 400, the bottom of the material frame 500 first contacts the raised block 700, the material frame 500 is raised by sliding on the wedge surface, and the bottom of the material frame 500 is prevented from contacting the cutter 400 to damage the cutter 400. After the material frame 500 is separated from the raised block 700, the material frame 500 naturally falls under the action of the elastic member 800.

[0048] As another more preferred embodiment, the slicing machine further comprises a rotation stopping mechanism 900 which can be connected with the cutter holder disc 200 to prevent the cutter holder disc 200 from rotating.

[0049] Specifically, the rotation stopping mechanism 900 comprises a second reciprocating linear motion driving source 910 and a rotation stopping rod 920. The rotation stopping rod 920 is connected with the second reciprocating linear motion driving source 910 and can drive the rotation stopping rod 920 to press against the side wall of the cutter holder disc 200 to assist the cutter holder disc 200 in stopping rotation when the rotary driving mechanism 300 drives the cutter holder disc 200 to pause. Similarly, the second reciprocating linear motion driving source 910 can be any mechanism commonly used in the prior art which can drive the rotation stopping rod 920 to move, such as a telescopic motor, a gear and rack, a chain mechanism, etc.

[0050] In specific implementation, the movements of the rotary driving mechanism 300, the first reciprocating linear motion driving source 620 and the second reciprocating linear motion driving source 910 need to be matched. In the normal state, the first reciprocating linear motion driving source 620 is in a static state, the pressing plate 610 is in a suspended state, and the rotation stopping rod 920 is in a retracted state. When the cutter 400 is about to contact the material frame 500, the rotary driving mechanism 300 drives the cutter holder disc 200 to stop rotating, the second reciprocating linear motion driving source 910 drives the rotation stopping rod 920 to extend and insert into the recess, and the first reciprocating linear motion driving source 620 is started to drive the pressing plate 610 to press tightly against the medicinal materials in the material frame 500. After complete pressing, the second reciprocating linear motion driving source 910 drives the rotation stopping rod 920 to retreat, the rotary driving mechanism 300 drives the cutter holder disc 200 to rotate for slicing, and when the cutter 400 is separated from the material frame 500, the first reciprocating linear motion driving source 620 drives the pressing plate 610 to retract. The above actions are repeated when the next cutter 400 is about to contact the material frame 500.

[0051] In this way, the pressing and slicing actions can be smoothly performed, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire slicing work.

[0052] With the above device, the medicinal material slicing work can be conveniently and quickly completed, medicinal tablets with a required thickness can be processed, and the harm to the workers can be reduced.

[0053] The above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and are not limited thereto; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing examples can still be modified, or some or all of the technical features can be replaced equivalently; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and they should be covered in the scope of the claims and the specification of the present application.
