The output shaft of the drive motor 13 is connected to the center of the cutting disc 12 through a bevel gear. The drive motor 13 drives the cutting disc 12 to rotate. After the Chinese herbal medicine is conveyed by the conveyor belt 8 and passes through the cutting disc 12, the roots and leaves are separated, which facilitates continuous processing and improves efficiency.

[0023] The conveying assembly 3 includes a mounting plate 5 installed on the inner wall of the separation box 1 at both ends of the inlet 2, a drive roller 6 rotatably connected to the outer wall of the mounting plate 5 at both ends close to each other, a limiting ring 7 installed on the outer wall of the drive roller 6, and a conveyor belt 8 respectively connected to the outer wall of the drive roller 6 at both ends of the limiting ring 7. The limiting ring 7 on the drive roller 6 is adjusted according to the length of the separated root leaf, and the conveyor belt 8 of appropriate width is replaced for easy adjustment and use.

[0024] One end of the mounting plate 5 is equipped with a conveyor motor 9 located at the drive roller 6, and the output shaft of the conveyor motor 9 is connected to one end of the drive roller 6. The conveyor motor 9 drives the conveyor belt 8 to move through the drive roller 6. After the conveyor belt 8 moves, it conveys the Chinese herbal medicine into the separation box 1, which facilitates continuous processing and operation.

The sliding plate 15 is located at the top of the root and the leaf respectively, ensuring the stability of the separation process.

[0026] The two conveyor belts 8 have different widths, and the width of the sliding plate 15 is the same as the width of the corresponding conveyor belt 8. The cutting disc 12 is located between the two conveyor belts 8.

[0027] The electric push rod 14, the drive motor 13, and the conveyor motor 9 are connected to the switch via wires, and the switch is powered via wires.

[0028] Working principle: During use, the batch of collected Chinese herbal medicines are placed horizontally on the conveyor belt 8 of the separation box 1, with the roots on the narrower conveyor belt 8 and the stems and leaves on the wider conveyor belt 8. The conveyor motor 9 and the drive motor 13 are started. The conveyor motor 9 drives the conveyor belt 8 to move through the drive roller 6. After the conveyor belt 8 moves, it conveys the Chinese herbal medicines into the separation box 1. The electric push rod 14 is started to drive the sliding plate 15 to descend. The sliding plate 15 is located on the top of the roots and leaves respectively, restricting the roots and leaves on the conveyor belt 8. The drive motor 13 drives the cutting disc 12 to rotate. After the Chinese herbal medicines are conveyed by the conveyor belt 8 and pass through the cutting disc 12, the roots and leaves are separated. Personnel place the Chinese herbal medicines at one end and collect the roots and leaves at the other end, which facilitates continuous processing and improves efficiency.
