Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Chinese herbal medicine slicing machines, specifically a Chinese herbal medicine slicing machine that is both food and medicine. Background Technology

[0002] The Chinese herbal medicine slicing machine is a modern piece of equipment specifically designed for processing Chinese medicinal herbs. It is widely used in food and health food companies, Chinese pharmacies, pharmaceutical companies, herbal medicine processing plants, and home medicinal cuisine preparation. Through efficient and precise cutting technology, it processes dried or fresh Chinese medicinal herbs into slices that meet pharmaceutical standards. While ordinary herbs require drying before slicing, resulting in low moisture content, allowing for direct separation from the blades after slicing, medicinal and edible materials such as ginseng, astragalus, gastrodia, ganoderma, polygonatum, and dried ginger often contain significant amounts of moisture. This causes the sliced ​​material to adhere to the blades, accumulating and falling irregularly. This is especially problematic when slicing thinner slices, as the lighter and more flexible materials adhere even more readily, requiring frequent cleaning and reducing slicing efficiency.

[0003] Chinese patent CN218313929U discloses a traditional Chinese medicine slicing machine with an anti-adhesion structure, comprising a base, a conveyor belt and a tray on the top of the base; a support, a lifting rod on the surface of the support, a limit rod on the surface of the lifting rod, a connecting strip at the bottom of the lifting rod, and a stop strip at the bottom of the connecting strip; and a blade located on the top of the base. By adding the stop strip, which is fixed to the surface of the blade via the lifting rod, when the blade slices the medicinal material, the slice remains on the blade surface. When the blade rises, the stop strip prevents the slice from adhering to the blade surface. The stop strip also has protrusions on its surface to prevent the slice from sticking to the stop strip, causing the slice to fall onto the surface of the conveyor belt and be collected. While this prior art can separate the medicinal material from the blade during slicing, achieving the effect of preventing adhesion, when the blade needs to slice quickly and the slice thickness is thin, the pushing action of the stop strip can easily break the medicinal material, leading to breakage. To improve slicing efficiency while ensuring the integrity of the slices, a traditional Chinese medicine slicing machine for medicinal and edible herbs has been proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides a traditional Chinese medicine slicing machine that is both food and medicine.

[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] This utility model discloses a medicinal and edible herb slicing machine, comprising a conveying assembly and a cutting assembly. The cutting assembly includes a housing, a cutter, and a flip plate. The cutter is connected to the housing via a lifting mechanism. The flip plate includes an upper plate and a lower plate, which are connected to each other and form an angle. The angle of the flip plate is rotatably connected to the cutter. A partition is provided at the top of the housing between the cutter and the upper plate. When the cutter is raised, the partition pushes the upper plate to separate from the cutter. A suction mechanism is provided on the upper plate and the cutter. The suction mechanism controls the upper plate to adhere to the cutter and drives the lower plate to tilt up and push away the slice.

[0007] Furthermore, the attraction mechanism includes a first magnet and a second magnet, and after the cutter and the flip plate descend and separate from the partition, the two magnets adhere to each other.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the partition is pointed, and the top of the upper plate is provided with a chamfer on the side near the cutter. The bottom of the partition is pressed and pushed along the chamfer position to separate the upper plate from the cutter.

[0009] Furthermore, a third magnet is provided on the side of the partition near the upper plate, and the magnetic force direction of the third magnet is the same as that of the second magnet on the opposite side.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom of the lower plate has a beveled surface.

[0011] Furthermore, several exhaust grooves are provided on the inclined surface of the lower plate.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By setting a flap on the cutter, a partition at the top of the inner side of the housing separates the upper part of the cutter from the upper plate of the flap when the cutter rises. When the cutter descends, the partition separates from the cutter and the upper plate, while the cutter and the upper plate adhere to each other under the action of the suction mechanism, causing the lower plate of the flap to tilt upwards. At this time, the cutter completes the slicing action of the medicinal and edible homologous material. The tilting of the lower plate pushes the slice away from the cutter, preventing it from adhering to the cutter. Since in this embodiment, the lower plate of the flap pushes the slice away from the side of the slice after the cutter's action, rather than pressing it down, the pushing action of the lower plate of the flap can ensure the integrity of the medicinal and edible homologous material slices while slicing quickly.

[0019] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0020] like Figures 1-4 As shown; This utility model discloses a medicinal and edible herb slicing machine, including a conveying component 1 and a cutting component. The cutting component includes a housing 2, a cutter 3 and a flip plate 4. The cutter 3 is connected to the housing 2 through a lifting mechanism. The flip plate 4 includes an upper plate and a lower plate, which are connected to each other and form an angle. The flip plate 4 is rotatably connected to the cutter 3 at the angle. A partition 5 is provided at the top of the housing 2 between the cutter 3 and the upper plate. When the cutter 3 is raised, the partition 5 pushes the upper plate to separate from the cutter 3. A suction mechanism is provided on the upper plate and the cutter 3. The suction mechanism controls the upper plate to stick to the cutter 3, drives the lower plate to tilt up and push away the slice.

[0021] When a traditional Chinese medicine slicing machine is used to cut medicinal and edible materials, the cut material tends to stick to the blade, causing it to accumulate and fall off irregularly. While existing technologies can separate the medicinal material from the blade during slicing to prevent sticking, when the cutter needs to slice quickly and the slices are thin, its pushing motion can easily break the medicinal material, leading to breakage.

[0022] In this embodiment, a flap 4 is provided on the cutter 3, with a bend in the middle of the flap 4. The upper and lower sides of the flap 4 are respectively the upper and lower plates based on the bend position. The two sides at the bend are rotatably connected to the connecting plates extending from the cutter 3. The cutter 3 performs the slicing action by lifting and lowering through a lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism is set inside the housing 2 and is controlled by a cylinder or a motor. The partition 5 at the top inside the housing 2 is used to separate the upper part of the cutter 3 from the upper plate of the flap 4 when the cutter 3 is raised. When the cutter 3 is lowered, the partition 5 separates from the cutter 3 and the upper plate. The cutter 3 and the upper plate are attached to each other under the action of the suction mechanism, causing the lower plate of the flap 4 to tilt up. At this time, the cutter 3 completes the slicing action of the medicinal and edible homologous material. The tilting of the lower plate pushes the slices away from the cutter 3, preventing them from adhering to the cutter 3. Since in this embodiment, the lower plate of the flip plate 4 pushes the slice away from the side of the slice after the cutter 3 moves, rather than pressing it down, the pushing action of the lower plate of the flip plate 4 on the slice can ensure the integrity of the slice of medicinal and edible homologous material while slicing quickly.

[0023] In one embodiment, the attraction mechanism includes a first magnet 6 and a second magnet 7. After the cutter 3 and the flip plate 4 descend and separate from the partition plate 5, the two magnets stick together. The magnetic forces on the opposite sides of the first magnet 6 and the second magnet 7 are in opposite directions. When the cutter 3 is in the rising state, the partition plate 5 will push the cutter 3 to separate from the upper plate when the cutter 3 rises. When the cutter 3 descends, when the cutter 3 touches the cutting plate below it, it means that the slicing action has been completed. At this time, the cutter 3 and the upper plate are completely separated from the partition plate 5. When the cutter 3 touches the cutting plate, the cutter 3 attracts the first magnet 6 and the second magnet 7 on the upper plate, so that the cutter 3 and the upper plate are attached. The lower plate tilts to one side, pushing the slice to one side after the slicing action is completed, so that it will not stick to the cutter 3. This avoids the need to frequently stop the machine to clean the slices on the cutter 3. It also prevents the slices from sticking to the cutter 3 and not being cleaned in time, which will cause excessive accumulation and fall off and be repeatedly cut by the cutter 3. Therefore, it can ensure the integrity of the slices.

[0024] The suction mechanism can also be a torsion spring, which is set on the rotating rod connecting the flip plate 4 and the cutter 3. The spring force keeps the upper plate and the cutter 3 in a close contact state without any other external force. The suction mechanism can also be a regular spring, with its two ends connected to the cutter 3 and the flip plate 4 respectively. The spring pulls the cutter 3 to the upper plate of the flip plate 4 to make it close.

[0025] Since it is difficult to separate the cutter 3 from the upper plate and the cutter 3 when the cutter 3 rises after they are attracted together, in one embodiment, the bottom of the partition 5 is pointed and the top of the upper plate is provided with a chamfer on the side near the cutter 3. The bottom of the partition 5 is squeezed and pushed along the chamfer position to separate the upper plate from the cutter 3. The pointed corner at the bottom of the partition 5 is used to reduce the force-bearing area, while the chamfer on the top of the upper plate near the cutter 3 is to increase the fault tolerance space of the partition 5, so that the bottom of the partition 5 can be aligned with the chamfer position when the cutter 3 rises. Then the partition 5 is squeezed into the position between the cutter 3 and the upper plate, and the cutter 3 and the upper plate are separated by the squeezing of the partition 5.

[0026] In the above embodiments, the flip plate 4 needs to be activated only after the cutter 3 has completed the slicing action on the material. Otherwise, the flip plate 4 would have already activated before the cutter 3 has completed the slicing action. Therefore, the flip plate 4 needs to maintain the lower plate in contact with the side of the cutter 3 until the slicing action is completed. Thus, in one embodiment, a third magnet is provided on the side of the partition 5 near the upper plate. The magnetic force direction of the third magnet and the second magnet 7 on opposite sides is the same. This causes the third magnet and the second magnet 7 to repel each other. Before the upper plate separates from the partition 5, the repulsive force of the third magnet on the second magnet 7 will push the lower plate to remain in contact with the cutter 3.

[0027] Furthermore, the bottom of the lower plate is beveled; both the cutter 3 and the bottom of the lower plate are beveled. The beveled surface of the cutter 3 faces the opposite direction to the beveled surface of the bottom of the lower plate. The beveled surface of the cutter 3 can reduce the pressure on the material when slicing, while the beveled surface of the bottom of the lower plate can slide the slice to one side of the beveled surface so that it can be pushed away after the lower plate is lifted, which can prevent the slice from getting stuck between the cutter 3 and the bottom of the lower plate.

[0028] Furthermore, several venting grooves 8 are provided on the beveled surface of the lower plate; the venting grooves 8 on the beveled surface of the lower plate can reduce the contact area between the slice and the beveled surface, prevent sticking, and at the same time, when the medicinal and edible materials have too much moisture, they can prevent the formation of a vacuum adsorption state between the slice and the beveled surface, thus avoiding the slice sticking.

[0029] A baffle is also provided inside the housing 2. The baffle is located on the side where the lower plate is tilted and is inclined. When the lower plate tilts up and separates the slices, it can block the slices and prevent the light slices from being thrown too far, so as to facilitate the collection of the slices.

[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
