Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces technology, and in particular to a feeding mechanism for a traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece slicing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) processed pieces are TCM herbs that have undergone processing according to TCM theory and methods, and can be directly used in TCM clinical practice. This concept indicates that there is no absolute boundary between raw TCM herbs and processed TCM pieces. Processed TCM pieces include some sliced ​​TCM herbs processed at their place of origin, whole raw herbs, and processed pieces that have undergone cutting or processing. The first two categories should be considered TCM herbs in terms of management, but are understood as processed pieces in prescriptions and formulations based on TCM theory.

[0003] The preparation of Chinese herbal medicine slices requires slicing the raw materials of the medicine. During the slicing process, personnel need to continuously add materials to the equipment, which is quite tedious. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned problems and deficiencies by proposing a feeding mechanism for a Chinese herbal medicine slicer: after starting the drive motor, the rotating disk rotates, and the cut raw materials fall into the collection hopper in the knife collection groove. As the raw materials gradually decrease with slicing, the support spring and support plate drive the raw materials downward, which facilitates feeding, facilitates continuous slicing, and reduces the frequency of adding raw materials.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A feeding mechanism for a traditional Chinese medicine slicer includes a drive housing. A rotating disk is mounted on the top outer wall of the drive housing, and a discharge shell is mounted on the outer walls at both ends of the drive housing and the bottom outer wall of the rotating disk. A slicing frame and a feeding pipe are welded to the top outer wall of the rotating disk at the discharge shell, and through holes are opened at the slicing frame and the feeding pipe of the rotating disk. The slicing frame and the feeding pipe are connected to the discharge shell, and a drive structure is installed inside the drive housing. The drive structure includes a drive motor, a rotating plate rotatably connected to the center of the rotating disk, mounting holes equally spaced on the outer wall of the rotating plate, and slicing blades installed in the mounting holes.

[0007] Preferably, a mounting bracket is installed on the outer wall of the drive motor, and the mounting bracket is installed on the inner wall of the drive housing;

[0008] After the drive motor is started, it drives the rotary table to rotate. The cut raw material falls into the collection hopper in the knife collection groove. As the raw material gradually decreases with slicing, the support spring and support plate drive the raw material to move downward, which facilitates feeding, continuous slicing, and reduces the frequency of adding raw material.

[0009] Preferably, the output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the center of the bottom outer wall of the rotating plate, and a cover plate is installed on the top outer wall of the slicing frame.

[0010] Preferably, a collection groove is provided at the bottom of the outer wall on one side of the material discharge shell, and a collection hopper is slidably connected in the collection groove.

[0011] Preferably, a cover plate is installed on the top outer wall of the feeding pipe, and a support spring is installed at the center of the bottom outer wall of the cover plate, and a support plate is installed at the other end of the support spring.

[0012] Preferably, the drive motor is connected to the switch via a wire, and the switch is connected to the power supply via a wire.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] After the drive motor is started, it drives the rotary table to rotate. The cut raw material falls into the collection hopper in the knife collection groove. As the raw material gradually decreases with slicing, the support spring and support plate drive the raw material to move downward, which facilitates feeding, continuous slicing, and reduces the frequency of adding raw material.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0020] Example:

[0021] Reference Figure 1-3A feeding mechanism for a Chinese herbal medicine slicer includes a drive housing 1. A rotating disk 2 is installed on the top outer wall of the drive housing 1, and a material dropping shell 3 is installed on the outer walls at both ends of the drive housing 1 and the bottom outer wall of the rotating disk 2. A slicing frame 4 and a feeding pipe 5 are welded to the top outer wall of the rotating disk 2 at the material dropping shell 3, and through holes are opened at the slicing frame 4 and the feeding pipe 5 of the rotating disk 2. The slicing frame 4 and the feeding pipe 5 are connected to the material dropping shell 3, and a drive structure is installed inside the drive housing 1.

[0022] The drive structure includes a drive motor 9, a rotating plate 10 rotatably connected to the center of the rotating disk 2, mounting holes equally spaced on the outer wall of the rotating plate 10, and a slicing blade 11 installed in the mounting holes.

[0023] The outer wall of the drive motor 9 is equipped with a mounting bracket 8, which is installed on the inner wall of the drive housing 1. When the slicing blade 11 on the rotating plate 10 passes through the through hole of the material dropping shell 3 and the feeding pipe 5, it slices the raw material. The sliced ​​raw material falls into the collection hopper 7 in the blade collection groove 6, which facilitates slicing and collection.

[0024] The output shaft of the drive motor 9 is connected to the center of the bottom outer wall of the rotating plate 10, and a cover plate 15 is installed on the top outer wall of the slicing frame 4. The raw material is manually sliced ​​by contacting the slicing blade 11 on the rotating plate 10 through the slicing frame 4, which is convenient for use.

[0025] A collection trough 6 is provided at the bottom of the outer wall on one side of the material discharge shell 3, and a collection hopper 7 is slidably connected in the collection trough 6.

[0026] A cover plate 12 is installed on the top outer wall of the feeding pipe 5, and a support spring 13 is installed at the center of the bottom outer wall of the cover plate 12. A support plate 14 is installed at the other end of the support spring 13. As the raw material gradually decreases with slicing, the support spring 13 and the support plate 14 drive the raw material to move downward, which facilitates feeding, facilitates continuous slicing, and reduces the frequency of adding raw material.

[0027] The drive motor 9 is connected to the switch via a wire, and the switch is connected to the power supply via a wire. The cover plate 12 is connected to the support plate 14 and placed at the top of the feeding pipe 5. Under the action of the support spring 13, the support plate 14 presses down on the raw material to facilitate continuous feeding.

[0028] Working principle: When in use, the material to be sliced ​​is placed in the feeding pipe 5. The cover plate 12 is connected to the support plate 14 and placed at the top of the feeding pipe 5. Under the action of the support spring 13, the support plate 14 presses down on the material. After starting the drive motor 9, the rotating plate 10 is driven to rotate. When the slicing blade 11 on the rotating plate 10 passes through the through hole of the material drop shell 3 and the feeding pipe 5, it slices the material. The sliced ​​material falls into the collection hopper 7 in the blade collection groove 6, which is convenient for slicing and collecting the slices. As the material gradually decreases with slicing, the support spring 13 and the support plate 14 drive the material to move downward, which is convenient for feeding and continuous slicing, reducing the frequency of adding material. At the same time, after opening the cover plate 15, the slicing frame 4 contacts the slicing blade 11 on the rotating plate 10, and the material is manually sliced ​​for easy use.
