DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-6 The utility model provides a technical scheme:

[0030] An automatic feeding device for a traditional Chinese medicinal material slicing machine, comprising:

[0031] The support frame 1 is provided with a mounting frame 3, and the drying assembly is mounted on the mounting frame 3. The drying assembly comprises a drying fan 15, an air conveying pipe 16, an exhaust cover 17 and an electric air volume regulating valve 18. The drying fan 15 is mounted on the mounting frame 3, the exhaust cover 17 is mounted on the mounting frame 3, the air conveying pipe 16 is connected with the drying fan 15 and the exhaust cover 17 respectively, and the electric air volume regulating valve 18 is mounted on the air conveying pipe 16.

[0032] The microtome body 4 is located on one side of the support frame 1, and the microtome body 4 is provided with a feeding cover 5.

[0033] After the traditional Chinese medicinal materials are placed on the conveying belt 2, the controller 31 starts the first driving motor 12, and the first driving motor 12 transmits the torque to one of the conveying rollers 14 through the rotating rod 13, so that the conveying belt 2 is driven to circulate, and in turn, the other conveying roller 14 is synchronously rotated, thereby realizing the continuous conveying of the traditional Chinese medicinal materials to the feeding cover 5 of the slicing machine. For the medicinal materials containing mucilage (such as rhizoma polygonati), the drying assembly can be started in advance by the controller 31: the hot air generated by the drying fan 15 is conveyed to the exhaust hood 17 through the air conveying pipe 16, and the air volume is adjusted to the middle or low gear by the electric air volume regulating valve 18, so that the hot air is directed to blow the surface of the conveying belt 2 and the surface of the medicinal materials, and the part of the water and the mucilage exudate on the contact surface are quickly taken away, thereby reducing the direct adhesion of the medicinal materials to the conveying belt 2, and the conveying belt 2 can be dried after being cleaned by the cleaning brush 9, so as to avoid the secondary adhesion of the medicinal material residues caused by the residual water, especially for the medicinal materials containing mucilage, which can further prevent the residues from being solidified and adhered, keep the surface of the conveying belt 2 clean, and ensure the stability of the subsequent feeding process and the hygiene of the medicinal material processing.

[0034] The support frame 1 is provided with the first electric sliding rails 6 moving transversely on both sides, the second electric sliding rails 7 moving vertically are connected to the moving ends of the first electric sliding rails 6, the mounting plates 8 are arranged at the moving ends of the second electric sliding rails 7, the cleaning brushes 9 are connected to the mounting plates 8 through the clamping assemblies, the clamping assemblies comprise the moving plates 19, the return springs 20, the clamping blocks 21 and the pull plates 22, the connecting grooves 23 are arranged on the mounting plates 8, the cleaning brushes 9 are clamped in the connecting grooves 23, the moving grooves 24 are arranged on the mounting plates 8, the moving plates 19 are slidably connected in the moving grooves 24, one end of the return springs 20 is mounted in the moving grooves 24, the other end of the return springs 20 is connected to the moving plates 19, the clamping blocks 21 are connected to the moving plates 19, the clamping grooves 25 for clamping the clamping blocks 21 are arranged on the cleaning brushes 9, and the pull plates 22 are connected to the moving plates 19.

[0035] When the conveying belt 2 completes a batch of feeding or reaches the preset cleaning time, the device automatically enters the cleaning process: the controller 31 stops the conveying belt 2 from running, and starts the first electric sliding rails 6 (moving transversely) and the second electric sliding rails 7 (moving vertically), so that the two-dimensional moving system formed by the first electric sliding rails 6 and the second electric sliding rails 7 drives the cleaning brushes 9 to move along the length direction of the conveying belt 2, and synchronously adjusts the fitting height of the cleaning brushes 9 and the surface of the conveying belt 2, so as to ensure that the residual medicinal material residues (especially the mucilage residues) are completely cleaned. If the cleaning brushes 9 need to be replaced, the pull plates 22 are pulled to compress the return springs 20 and drive the moving plates 19, so that the clamping blocks 21 are separated from the clamping grooves 25 of the cleaning brushes 9, and the installation can be completed by reversing the operation. This clamping structure realizes stable clamping through the elastic force of the return springs 20, which not only ensures the reliability during cleaning, but also can be quickly disassembled without tools, thereby greatly reducing the maintenance difficulty. This automatic cleaning design replaces the traditional manual wiping, cooperates with the subsequent drying treatment, effectively avoids the solidification of the mucilage residues, does not need to be washed by the high-pressure water gun, and significantly reduces the water and electricity consumption and the labor cost.

[0036] After cleaning, the controller 31 starts the drying assembly for secondary processing: through the electric air volume regulating valve 18, the air volume is adjusted to the high gear (for mucilage residue), the hot air is concentrated to the surface of the conveying belt 2 through the exhaust hood 17, the residual moisture is quickly removed, and the secondary adhesion of the subsequent medicinal materials due to the wetness of the conveying belt 2 is prevented from the root. This drying cooperation process is precisely controlled by heat and air speed, which not only avoids the loss of medicinal materials caused by excessive drying, but also solves the adhesion problem caused by insufficient drying, and guarantees the integrity and cleanliness of the medicinal materials before slicing.

[0037] The support frame 1 is connected with a support plate 10 at the lower end through a lifting assembly. The lifting assembly comprises a telescopic rod 32, a second driving motor 26 and two lifting parts. Each of the two lifting parts comprises a threaded rod 27 and a rotating rod 28. One end of the threaded rod 27 is threadedly connected in the rotating rod 28, and the other end of the threaded rod 27 is connected with the support frame 1. The end of the rotating rod 28 away from the threaded rod 27 is rotatably connected with the support plate 10 through a connecting rod 30. The telescopic rod 32 is installed between the support frame 1 and the support plate 10. The second driving motor 26 is installed on the support plate 10 through a mounting frame 29. The output end of the second driving motor 26 is connected with the connecting rod 30 through a belt pulley set. The support plate 10 is provided with a plurality of supporting legs 11.

[0038] According to the height of the feeding cover 5 of the slicing machine body 4, the lifting assembly is started by the controller 31. In the assembly, the second driving motor 26 drives the connecting rod 30 to rotate through the belt pulley set, and then the rotating rods 28 of the two lifting parts are synchronously rotated. The threaded rods 27 are axially telescopic due to the threaded cooperation with the rotating rods 28, and drive the support frame 1 to stably lift as a whole, until the conveying belt 2 is accurately connected with the feeding cover 5. The telescopic rod 32 can increase the supporting effect. This design realizes flexible adaptation to slicing machines with different heights through the stability of mechanical transmission, without the need of additional adapter structure, which significantly improves the universality of the equipment and solves the poor compatibility problem of traditional devices.

[0039] In the above embodiment, the controller 31 is installed on the support frame 1, and is electrically connected with the first electric sliding rail 6, the second electric sliding rail 7, the first driving motor 12, the drying fan 15, the electric air volume regulating valve 18 and the second driving motor 26 respectively.

[0040] It should be noted that the specific model specifications of the controller 31, the first electric sliding rail 6, the second electric sliding rail 7, the first driving motor 12, the drying fan 15, the electric air volume regulating valve 18 and the second driving motor 26 need to be determined according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection calculation method adopts the existing technology in the art, and therefore will not be described in detail.

[0041] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it is to be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present application, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
