[0042] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below.

[0043] Example

[0044] See Figures 1-5 This embodiment provides a medicine cutting mechanism, including a material trough 1, a cutter 2, an arc-shaped material receiving plate 3, and a baffle 4.

[0045] The material trough 1 contains a guide block 11, the height of which gradually decreases from back to front, and the upper side of the guide block 11 forms a slope. The right side of the material trough 1 has a first discharge hole 12, located near the lower end of the guide block 11, with its axial direction parallel to the length direction of the arc-shaped support plate 3. The front side of the material trough 1 has a second discharge hole 13, located near the lower end of the guide block 11, with its axial direction parallel to the slope. Multiple first discharge holes 12 are arranged along the height direction of the material trough 1. Multiple second discharge holes 13 are arranged along the length direction of the material trough 1.

[0046] The cutter 2 is movably disposed above the arc-shaped support plate 3. There are multiple cutters 2, which are arranged at intervals along the length of the arc-shaped support plate 3.

[0047] The arc-shaped support plate 3 has multiple clearance openings 31 for avoiding the cutter 2, and each clearance opening 31 corresponds to one cutter 2. Figure 3 Only three clearance openings 31 are shown in the diagram. Both the material trough 1 and the arc-shaped material support plate 3 are inclined, and the first discharge hole 12 is located on the upper left of the arc-shaped material support plate 3. The arc-shaped material support plate 33 serves to gather the medicinal materials and prevent them from falling off from the front and rear sides.

[0048] The baffle 4 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the arc-shaped material support plate 3 via a rotating shaft 41. The rotating shaft 41 is driven by a forward and reverse motor to make the baffle 4 rotate clockwise or counterclockwise.

[0049] The stick-shaped medicinal material is placed into the material preparation tank 1 from back to front. After entering the material preparation tank 1, the stick-shaped medicinal material has two postures: one is the stick-shaped medicinal material 5 with its axial direction parallel to the axial direction of the first discharge hole, and the other is the stick-shaped medicinal material 6 with its axial direction parallel to the axial direction of the second discharge hole.

[0050] The rod-shaped medicinal material 5, whose axial direction is parallel to the axial direction of the first discharge hole, rolls from back to front along the slope of the guide block 11, eventually passing through the first discharge hole 12 and falling onto the arc-shaped support plate 3, where it is blocked by the baffle 4. Then, the cutter 2 acts on the rod-shaped medicinal material to slice it. After slicing, the baffle 4 is rotated clockwise to discharge the material.

[0051] The rod-shaped medicinal material 6, whose axial direction is parallel to the axial direction of the second discharge hole, will roll to the right front side of the material trough 1, and finally pass through the second discharge hole 13 to be discharged and collected or sliced ​​by other equipment.

[0052] As can be seen from the above, the setting of the material trough 1 enables the screening of the posture of the rod-shaped medicinal materials (screening out the rod-shaped medicinal materials 5 whose axial direction is parallel to the axial direction of the first discharge hole); the setting of the arc-shaped material receiving plate 3 and the baffle 4 can align one end of the screened rod-shaped medicinal materials to facilitate slicing, thereby reducing the labor intensity of workers and improving processing efficiency; the setting of the clearance opening 31 can reduce the wear of the cutter 2.

[0053] The material trough 1 has a support plate 22, on which a drive cylinder 23 is mounted. The movable end of the drive cylinder 23 is connected to a movable plate 24, which is slidably connected to a guide rod 21. One end of the guide rod 21 is connected to the material trough 1. A knife holder 25 is connected to the movable plate 24, and the cutter 2 is detachably mounted on the knife holder 25 (e.g., by bolt connection). The cutter 2 moves by being driven by the drive cylinder 23.

[0054] The blade holder 25 has a first connecting rod 26 at its left end and a second connecting rod 27 at its right end. The first connecting rod 26 is hinged to the movable plate 24, and the second connecting rod 27 is arc-shaped and slidably connected to the movable plate 24. The movement of the second connecting rod 27 relative to the movable plate 24 is limited by a limiting mechanism. The arrangement of the first connecting rod 26 and the second connecting rod 27 allows the angle of the cutter 2 to be adjusted, thus resulting in a larger incision when cutting the tablets.

[0055] Understandably, in order to accommodate the change in the angle of the cutter 2, the size of the clearance 31 should be relatively large so that the cutter 2 does not directly contact the curved support plate 3 after the angle changes.

[0056] The limiting mechanism includes a screw 28, which is threadedly connected to the movable plate 24 and can directly or indirectly contact the second connecting rod 27. Tightening the screw 28 utilizes the frictional force generated by the screw 28 to limit the movement of the second connecting rod 27.

[0057] The limiting mechanism also includes a pressure block 29, which is connected to the screw 28. The screw 28 contacts the second connecting rod 27 through the pressure block 29 to increase the contact area and ensure the anti-slip effect.

[0058] Furthermore, the pressure block 29 is rotatably connected to the second connecting rod 27. The side of the pressure block 29 facing the second connecting rod 27 is arc-shaped and contacts the second connecting rod 27. In this way, the contact area between the pressure block 29 and the second connecting rod 27 is larger, and the anti-slip and limiting effects are better.

[0059] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. For those skilled in the art, this application can have various modifications and variations. Without conflict, the embodiments and features described in the embodiments of this application can be arbitrarily combined with each other. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
