Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 6 The present invention will describe the above technical solution in detail through the following embodiments:

[0027] An automatic slicing device for Chinese medicinal materials includes: a conveyor box 1; a gantry frame 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor box 1, a slicing box 3 is arranged inside the gantry frame 2, an inlet 4 is opened at the center of the top of the slicing box 3, a rectangular frame 5 is fixedly connected inside the slicing box 3, and a plurality of blades 6 are evenly arranged inside the rectangular frame 5; both ends of the blades 6 are provided with a linkage mechanism 7 for adjusting the thickness of the slices of Chinese medicinal materials; a telescopic mechanism 8 for quickly slicing Chinese medicinal materials is provided on the top of the gantry frame 2. The user adjusts the spacing between the blades 6 according to the needs through the linkage mechanism 7. When the spacing between the blades 6 is adjusted to a suitable distance, the user places the Chinese medicinal materials inside the inlet 4, and then squeezes the Chinese medicinal materials through the telescopic mechanism 8, thereby quickly slicing the Chinese medicinal materials through the cooperation of the blades 6.

[0028] like Figures 4 to 6As shown, the linkage mechanism 7 includes: adjusting blocks 9 are fixedly connected to both ends of the blade 6, and cylindrical blocks 10 are fixedly connected to the bottom of each adjusting block 9; translation plates 11 are provided on both sides of the interior of the slicing box 3, and matching adjusting grooves 12 are provided on each translation plate 11 near the cylindrical blocks 10; a dual-axis motor 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the slicing box 3, and a first rotating shaft 14 is fixedly connected to both output ends of the dual-axis motor 13; a first bevel gear 15 is fixedly connected to the end of the first rotating shaft 14 away from the dual-axis motor 13; a second bevel gear 16 meshes with the side of the first bevel gear 15 away from the dual-axis motor 13; a bidirectional screw 17 is fixedly connected to the center of the second bevel gear 16; one end of the bidirectional screw 17 passes through the slicing box 3 and is rotatably connected to the slicing box 3; and the outer surfaces of both ends of the bidirectional screw 17 are... Each surface is threaded with threaded blocks 18, which are fixedly connected to the translation plates 11. When the user starts the dual-axis motor 13, the output end of the dual-axis motor 13 drives the first rotating shaft 14, which drives the first bevel gear 15, which drives the second bevel gear 16, which drives the bidirectional screw 17. The bidirectional screw 17 rotates with the cooperation of the slicing box 3. While rotating, the bidirectional screw 17 drives the threaded blocks 18, which in turn drive the translation plates 11, causing the two translation plates 11 to move closer or further apart. While moving, the translation plates 11 drive the cylindrical block 10 through the adjustment groove 12. The cylindrical block 10 drives the adjustment block 9 to move at equal intervals. While moving, the adjustment block 9 drives the blade 6, thereby controlling the blade 6 to adjust at equal intervals.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the telescopic mechanism 8 includes: a rectangular pressure plate 19 is provided between the gantry frame 2 and the slicing box 3, and the rectangular pressure plate 19 is adapted to the feed inlet 4; hydraulic cylinders 20 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the gantry frame 2, and the telescopic ends of the hydraulic cylinders 20 pass through the gantry frame 2 and extend to the rectangular pressure plate 19. The rectangular pressure plate 19 is fixedly connected to the telescopic ends of the hydraulic cylinders 20. The user places the Chinese medicinal materials into the feed inlet 4 and then starts the hydraulic cylinders 20. The telescopic ends of the hydraulic cylinders 20 extend outward and drive the rectangular pressure plate 19. The rectangular pressure plate 19 squeezes the Chinese medicinal materials inside the feed inlet 4. While the Chinese medicinal materials are being squeezed, they are quickly sliced ​​by the cooperation of the blades 6.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, slide rods 21 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inside of the rectangular frame 5, and the adjusting blocks 9 are slidably connected to the slide rods 21 respectively, so that the adjusting blocks 9 can slide flexibly horizontally inside the rectangular frame 5.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a second rotating shaft 22 is rotatably connected to both sides of the inside of the conveying box 1. A conveying roller 23 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the second rotating shaft 22 inside the conveying box 1. The outer surfaces of the two conveying rollers 23 are fixedly connected by a conveyor belt 24. One end of one of the second rotating shafts 22 passes through the conveying box 1 and extends to the motor 25. The motor 25 is fixedly connected to the conveying box 1. The output end of the second rotating shaft 22 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 25. When the motor 25 is started, the output end of the motor 25 drives one of the second rotating shafts 22. The second rotating shaft 22 drives the conveying roller 23. The conveying roller 23 drives the conveyor belt 24. The conveyor belt 24 runs through the cooperation of the second rotating shaft 22 on the other side and the conveying roller 23, thereby conveying the sliced ​​Chinese medicinal materials that fall onto the conveyor belt 24, achieving the purpose of automatically conveying the Chinese medicinal materials to the outside of the device.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, structural plates 26 are provided on both sides of the gantry 2 near the gantry 2. The structural plates 26 are fixedly connected to the gantry 2 and the conveyor box 1, which improves the structural strength of the connection between the gantry 2 and the conveyor box 1, and thus improves the overall structural strength of the device.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, a control box 27 with an internal touch screen is provided on one side of the gantry frame 2. The control box 27 is fixedly connected to the gantry frame 2. All four corners of the bottom of the conveyor box 1 are provided with casters 28 with braking function. All casters 28 are fixedly connected to the conveyor box 1. This not only makes it convenient for users to operate the device, but also makes it convenient for users to move and fix the device.

[0034] Working Principle: The user starts the dual-axis motor 13. The output of the dual-axis motor 13 drives the first rotating shaft 14, which in turn drives the first bevel gear 15. The first bevel gear 15 drives the second bevel gear 16, which in turn drives the bidirectional screw 17. The bidirectional screw 17 rotates in cooperation with the slicing box 3. Simultaneously, the bidirectional screw 17 drives the threaded block 18, which in turn drives the translation plate 11, causing the two translation plates 11 to move closer or further apart. While moving, the translation plate 11 drives the cylindrical block 10 via the adjusting groove 12. The cylindrical block 10 drives the adjusting block 9 to move at equal intervals. Simultaneously, the adjusting block 9 drives the blade 6, thereby controlling the blade 6 to adjust at equal intervals. This reduces the time required for slicing medicinal materials, improves the efficiency of slicing, and solves the problem that existing automatic medicinal material slicing equipment, although capable of adjusting the slice thickness, requires continuous reciprocating movement of the cutter during slicing. The traditional cutting method results in long processing times and low efficiency for slicing medicinal herbs. The herbs are then placed inside the feed inlet 4, and the hydraulic cylinder 20 and motor 25 are activated. The extension end of the hydraulic cylinder 20 extends outward, driving the rectangular pressure plate 19. The rectangular pressure plate 19 squeezes the herbs inside the feed inlet 4, and the herbs are quickly sliced ​​using the blades 6. The output of the motor 25 drives one of the second rotating shafts 22, which in turn drives the conveyor roller 23. The conveyor roller 23 drives the conveyor belt 24, which operates in conjunction with the other second rotating shaft 22 and the conveyor roller 23. This conveys the sliced ​​herbs that fall onto the conveyor belt 24, automatically transporting them to the outside of the device. This system not only allows for adjustment of the spacing between the blades 6 according to user needs, thus adjusting the slice thickness, but also ensures uniform slice thickness, improving practicality.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the 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.
