Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of medicinal herb slicing equipment, and in particular to a medicinal herb slicing machine with adjustable thickness. Background Technology
[0002] Slicing Chinese medicinal herbs is a crucial step in the processing of Chinese medicine. Slicing Chinese medicinal herbs into pieces of a specific thickness helps to improve the extraction rate of the decoction and facilitates storage and preparation.
[0003] Rotary slicers slice medicinal materials by rotating a blade disc. The position of the blades on the blade disc is adjusted to adjust the sliced material. The blade disc has multiple blades, and each blade needs to be adjusted individually. In order to ensure that the slice thickness is consistent, the adjustment distance of the blades on the blade disc must be kept consistent. This requires the operator to take multiple measurements during the adjustment process to keep the distance consistent, which takes a long time. Summary of the Invention

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0029] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 :
[0030] This utility model proposes a medicinal herb slicing machine with adjustable thickness, comprising: an upper frame 1, a middle blade disc 2, and a blade holder 3. The upper frame 1 has a feed inlet 101 on its back. A side sealing disc 102 is bolted to the middle of the upper frame 1. A lower discharge port 103 is provided at the lower part of the side sealing disc 102. A lower support 104 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the upper frame 1. A lower guide chute 105 is fixedly provided in the middle of the lower support 104. A drive motor 106 is fixedly provided in the middle of the upper frame 1. The middle blade disc 2 and the blade holder 3 are both located within the space formed by the upper frame 1 and the side sealing disc 102. The lower guide chute 105 is located below the lower discharge port 103. The main shaft of the drive motor 106 is fixedly connected to the center of the middle blade disc 2. The drive motor 106 drives the middle blade disc 2 and the blade holder 3 to rotate. The main blade 301 slices the medicinal herb. For slicing, a central blade disc 2 is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the upper frame 1. A through groove 201 is arranged in a circular array on the outer side of the central blade disc 2. A central rotating disk 202 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the central blade disc 2. A limit screw 203 is screwed onto the outer side of the central rotating disk 202. A connecting groove 204 is arranged in a circular array on the circumference of the central blade disc 2. A first drive shaft 205 and a second drive shaft 206 are arranged in a circular array on the circumference of the central blade disc 2. A blade holder 3 is arranged in a circular array on the outer side of the central blade disc 2. A main blade 301 is fixedly connected to the front of the blade holder 3 with screws. A tail slide 302 is fixed to the tail of the blade holder 3. The tail of the tail slide 302 is screwed to the tail screw 303. The drive motor 106 drives the central blade disc 2 and the blade holder 3 to rotate, and the main blade 301 performs slicing work on the medicinal materials.
[0031] In this embodiment, the limiting screw 203 and the threaded hole arranged in a ring array in the middle of the central cutter disc 2 are screwed together. The tail end of the first drive shaft 205 rotates synchronously through a universal joint and the second drive shaft 206. The multiple tail screws 303 arranged in a ring array rotate synchronously, realizing the synchronous movement and adjustment process of multiple blade holders 3 and main blades 301, realizing the equidistant adjustment of multiple blade holders 3 and main blades 301, and realizing the equidistant adjustment of multiple blade holders 3 with the same displacement.
[0032] In this embodiment, the tail end of the second drive shaft 206 is engaged with the central turntable 202, and the tail slide bar 302 is slidably connected to the connecting groove 204. The tail slide bar 302 moves obliquely away from the central blade disc 2 along the connecting groove 204. The tail screw 303 is inclined at the same angle, and the thread of the tail screw 303 guides the tail slide bar 302 to move axially. The tail slide bar 302 moves along the connecting groove 204, and the tail slide bar 302, the blade holder 3, and the main blade 301 move synchronously to achieve position adjustment of the blade holder 3 and the main blade 301, thereby achieving thickness adjustment of the medicinal material slices.
[0033] In this embodiment, the tail end of the tail screw 303 is rotatably connected to the connecting groove 204, and the tail end of the tail screw 303 is meshed with the head end of the first drive shaft 205. The main blade 301 is located inside the through groove 201. By utilizing the self-locking characteristic of the thread of the tail screw 303, the distance between the main blade 301 and the through groove 201 can be infinitely adjusted, ensuring that the slice thickness adjustment accuracy reaches ±0.1mm, significantly improving the consistency of slice thickness and product quality.
[0034] In Example 2, based on Example 1, the central blade disc 2 is covered by a cover plate on one side. The cover plate covers components such as the first drive shaft 205 and the second drive shaft 206. The cover plate has a through groove at the position of the central blade disc 2 corresponding to the main blade 301. The cover plate protects the components such as the first drive shaft 205 and the second drive shaft 206, avoiding contact between the first drive shaft 205, the second drive shaft 206 and the medicinal materials, and reducing contact wear between the first drive shaft 205, the second drive shaft 206 and the medicinal materials.
[0035] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: The lower support 104 is placed on the ground, and the medicinal materials are fed into the feed inlet 101. The drive motor 106 drives the middle blade disc 2 and the blade holder 3 to rotate. The main blade 301 slices the medicinal materials. The slices fall into the lower discharge outlet 103 and are collected uniformly along the lower guide chute 105. The thread of the tail screw 303 guides the tail slide bar 302 to move axially. The tail slide bar 302 moves along the connecting slide groove 204. The tail slide bar 302, the blade holder 3, and the main blade 301 move synchronously. The movement allows for position adjustment of the blade holder 3 and the main blade 301, and adjustment of the distance between the main blade 301 and the through groove 201, thereby adjusting the thickness of the medicinal material slices. In the existing system, the blade holder 3 and the main blade 301 are fixed together by bolts and nuts. This solution utilizes the self-locking characteristic of the tail screw 303 thread to achieve stepless adjustment of the distance between the main blade 301 and the through groove 201, ensuring that the slice thickness adjustment accuracy reaches ±0.1mm, significantly improving the consistency of slice thickness and product quality.
[0036] The central turntable 202 simultaneously engages with multiple second drive shafts 206 of the outer annular array to rotate. The second drive shafts 206 drive the first drive shaft 205 to rotate synchronously through universal joints. The first drive shaft 205 engages with the tail screw 303 to drive the tail screw 303 to rotate synchronously. The multiple tail screws 303 in the annular array rotate synchronously, realizing the synchronous movement and adjustment process of multiple blade holders 3 and main blades 301. This achieves equidistant adjustment of multiple blade holders 3 and main blades 301, ensuring that multiple blade holders 3 are adjusted equidistantly with the same displacement. This improves efficiency by more than 60% compared to the traditional method of adjusting one by one, completely eliminating the error of manual measurement and calibration, and achieving rapid and uniform adjustment of slice thickness. It also eliminates the problem of personnel having to take multiple measurements to maintain consistency during the adjustment process, which consumes a lot of time.
