The structure of rhizoma polygonati polysaccharide is mainly composed of glucose, galactose, arabinose and mannose. Due to the high sugar content, rhizoma polygonati is seriously sticky during the early slicing process. The traditional processing technology of rhizoma polygonati decoction pieces mainly uses methods such as soaking, soaking or steaming to soften the slices. However, these methods can increase the humidity of the surface of rhizoma polygonati, and the slicing process is prone to phenomena such as sticking, clumping, sticking, and fragmentation. In addition, the above-mentioned methods have a long production cycle, generally 2-3 days, and the effective components are easy to lose.

[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. 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.
[0020] Please see Figs. 1-3 Following the technical concept of the hot sand softening and slicing method, this utility model designs an anti-stick cutting device for Polygonatum sibiricum. The device includes a frame 1, on which a hot sand softening mechanism 2 and a slicing mechanism 3 are respectively installed. A tray 23 with Polygonatum sibiricum laid flat is placed on a lower heating plate 22, and an upper heating plate 28 is pressed onto the tray 23 by a hydraulic cylinder 26, so that the heated river sand layer 210 covers the surface of Polygonatum sibiricum for hot softening, reducing the moisture content and achieving the purpose of moderate softening, which is conducive to improving the slicing effect. After the Polygonatum sibiricum softens, it is taken out one by one and put into the slicing mechanism 3. This eliminates the soaking and drying process of Polygonatum sibiricum, is not limited by climate, has a short production cycle, and the effective ingredients are not easily lost, resulting in good effect.
[0021] The hot sand softening mechanism 2 includes an insulated base plate 21, a lower heating plate 22, a tray 23, a column 24, a top plate 25, a hydraulic cylinder 26, a pre-pressing plate 27, and an upper heating plate 28. The lower heating plate 22 is installed on the insulated base plate 21, the tray 23 is placed on the lower heating plate 22, the column 24 is installed around the insulated base plate 21, the top plate 25 is installed on the top of the column 24, the hydraulic cylinder 26 is installed on the top plate 25, the pre-pressing plate 27 is movably sleeved on the column 24 and connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 26, and the upper heating plate 28 is installed on the pre-pressing plate 27. A gauze bag 29 is provided on one side of both the lower heating plate 22 and the upper heating plate 28, and the gauze bag 29 is filled with a layer of river sand 210.
[0022] The slicing mechanism 3 includes a housing 31, a motor 32, a cutting blade 33, a cylinder 34, and a movable baffle 35. The motor 32 and the cylinder 34 are respectively installed inside the housing 31. The cutting blade 33 is installed on the output shaft end of the motor 32, and the movable baffle 35 is installed on the output end of the cylinder 34.
[0023] Specifically, both the lower heating plate 22 and the upper heating plate 28 have a groove 211 on one side, and the gauze bag 29 is laid flat in the groove 211. In this embodiment, the lower heating plate 22 and the upper heating plate 28 are heating devices that use electric heating alloy wire as heating material, mica soft board as insulation material, and are wrapped with thin metal plates (aluminum plate, stainless steel plate, etc.). The plate surface temperature can be maintained within a certain range by a constant temperature control system. The groove 211 is an assembly structure used to fix the gauze bag 29 filled with river sand layer 210.
[0024] Specifically, the bottom surface of tray 23 has a mesh structure, and tray 23 is placed on the gauze bag 29 of the lower heating plate 22. In this embodiment, after the lower heating plate 22 is heated, the heat is conducted to the river sand layer 210. When the river sand layer 210 is heated, the heat is conducted through the mesh on the bottom surface of tray 23 to the Solomon's seal rhizome for heat curing.
[0025] Specifically, the groove 211 of the upper heating plate 28 is adapted to the inner area of the tray 23, and the gauze bag 29 in the groove 211 is pressed flat on the tray 23. In this embodiment, after the upper heating plate 28 is heated, the heat is conducted to the river sand layer 210. After the river sand layer 210 is heated, the heat is conducted to the Polygonatum rhizome for heat curing.
[0026] Specifically, the top of the housing 31 is provided with a feeding port 36, and the bottom is provided with a discharging port 37. In this embodiment, after the Polygonatum sibiricum has softened due to heat treatment, the tray 23 is removed, and the Polygonatum sibiricum is fed into the slicing mechanism 3 one by one through the feeding port 36 for slicing.
[0027] Specifically, the movable baffle 35 is positioned corresponding to the cutting blade 33, and a support plate 38 is provided on the movable baffle 35. In this embodiment, after the Solomon's seal tuber is inserted, it falls onto the support plate 38. The cylinder 34 drives the movable baffle 35 to move toward the blade in a regular manner, so that the Solomon's seal tuber is squeezed toward the high-speed rotating cutting blade 33, thereby completing the slicing operation.
[0028] In use, the Polygonatum rhizome is first sorted by size. Then, the lower heating plate 22 and the upper heating plate 28 are preheated, and the river sand layer 210 is heated and maintained at a temperature between 80°C and 100°C. Excessive temperature can cause the Polygonatum rhizome to char. A tray 23 containing the Polygonatum rhizome is placed on the lower heating plate 22, and the upper heating plate 28 is pressed onto the tray 23 by the hydraulic cylinder 26. This allows the heated river sand layer 210 to cover the surface of the Polygonatum rhizome, reducing its moisture content and achieving a suitable softening effect. This prevents sticking and blade adhesion during subsequent cutting.
[0029] During the heat treatment, larger pieces of Polygonatum need 10 minutes, while smaller pieces only need 5 minutes. They should be removed and cut immediately; do not remove all the Polygonatum material at once to prevent it from hardening again after cooling. Once the Polygonatum softens during heat treatment, remove each piece and place it into the slicing mechanism 3. After being placed in, the material falls onto the support plate 38. The cylinder 34 drives the movable baffle 35 to regularly move towards the blade, causing the Polygonatum tuber to be squeezed towards the high-speed rotating cutting blade 33, thus completing the slicing process.
