Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine slicing technology, and in particular to an automatic feeding slicing machine for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. Background Technology
[0002] Slicing Chinese medicinal herbs is the process of cutting washed and softened medicinal materials into slices of a certain size and shape, either by machine or manually, according to their texture, hardness, size, or thickness. The purpose is to facilitate the extraction of active ingredients, processing, preparation, identification, and storage.
[0003] Most existing slicing machines require a person to hold the Chinese herbal medicine with one hand and grasp the blade handle with the other to cut it. This not only greatly reduces the cutting efficiency but also poses a high safety hazard to the workers. Therefore, an automatic feeding Chinese herbal medicine slice slicing machine is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an automatic feeding and slicing machine for Chinese herbal medicine, which effectively solves the deficiencies of the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, one embodiment of this utility model provides an automatic feeding and slicing machine for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, including a first housing. An electric push rod is slidably connected to one side of the interior of the first housing, with the output end of the electric push rod facing the inner wall of the first housing. A first motor is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod, and a slicing blade is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor. Two limiting blocks are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first housing on the side away from the electric push rod. Two first fixing clamps are fixedly connected to the corresponding sides of the two limiting blocks on one side, near the position above the first fixing clamps. A second housing is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the first housing, and the second housing is connected to the first housing. A baffle is slidably connected to the lower part of the inner wall of the second housing.
[0006] Preferably, in any of the above solutions, there is a distance between the two first fixing clips, and the second fixing clip is located between the two first fixing clips.
[0007] The technical effect achieved by adopting the above solution is that when the second fixing clip moves downward, the clamping range of the first fixing clip and the second fixing clip can be increased by the position between the two first fixing clips, which can be adapted to the fixing of Chinese medicine of different sizes.
[0008] Preferably, in any of the above solutions, both of the limiting blocks have cavities inside, and the two sides of the second fixing clamp extend into the interior of the two limiting blocks respectively. A first threaded rod is rotatably connected inside one of the two limiting blocks, and one side of the first threaded rod is threadedly connected to one side of the second fixing clamp.
[0009] The technical effect achieved by adopting the above solution is that the second fixed clamp can be limited by using this solution, so that the second fixed clamp can move linearly up and down. The movement of the second fixed clamp can be controlled by rotating the first threaded rod, which is more convenient.
[0010] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, a first groove is provided on the inner wall of the first housing near the electric push rod, a second threaded rod is rotatably connected inside the first groove, a slider is slidably connected inside the first groove, the slider is threadedly connected to the second threaded rod, the electric push rod is fixedly connected to the top surface of the slider, a second motor is fixedly connected to the first housing near the second threaded rod, and the output end of the second motor is fixedly connected to one end of the second threaded rod.
[0011] The technical effect achieved by adopting the above solution is that by using this solution, the slider can be slidably connected to the first box body through the first slide groove, which plays a role in limiting the slider. At the same time, the movement of the slider can drive the electric push rod to move, and the electric push rod moves simultaneously with the slicing blade. The second motor drives the second threaded rod to rotate, providing power for the rotation of the second threaded rod and the movement of the slider.
[0012] Preferably, in any of the above solutions, a second sliding groove is provided on both sides of the inner wall of the second box near the baffle, and the two ends of the baffle are respectively slidably connected to the two second sliding grooves.
[0013] The technical effect achieved by adopting the above solution is that by using this solution, the baffle can be slidably connected to the second box body through the second sliding groove, which plays the role of limiting the baffle. Moving the baffle can discharge the Chinese medicine that has fallen into the second box body from the discharge port.
[0014] Preferably, the second housing has a discharge port on the side near the electric push rod.
[0015] The technical effect achieved by adopting the above solution is that it facilitates the collection of cut Chinese medicinal herbs by staff, further increasing convenience.
[0016] This utility model has the following advantages:
[0017] 1. This automatic feeding and slicing machine for Chinese herbal medicine involves placing one end of the herb between a first and a second fixed clamp. Rotating the first threaded rod controls the movement of the second fixed clamp, allowing it to move linearly up and down to clamp and secure one end of the herb. This eliminates the need for continuous manual fixing, reducing labor requirements. A second motor drives the second threaded rod to rotate, providing power for both the rotation of the threaded rod and the movement of the slider. The slider is slidably connected to the first housing via a first groove, which limits its movement. The rotation of the second threaded rod moves the slider, which in turn moves an electric push rod. The electric push rod moves simultaneously with the slicing blade. As the slicing blade moves towards the herb, the electric push rod causes the slicing blade to repeatedly extend and retract, completing the automatic slicing of the herb. This automatic feeding mechanism eliminates the need for manual movement to change the position of the herb, making it more convenient.
[0018] 2. This automatic feeding Chinese herbal medicine slicer can adjust the speed of the second threaded rod to adjust the movement speed of the slider when the slider moves and drives the slicing blade to slice the Chinese herbal medicine. The faster the speed, the thicker the slice. It can be freely adjusted according to the required thickness of the Chinese herbal medicine slices, thus increasing its applicability.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, an automatic feeding and slicing machine for Chinese herbal medicine includes a first housing 1. An electric push rod 8 is slidably connected to one side of the interior of the first housing 1. The output end of the electric push rod 8 faces the inner wall of the first housing 1. A first motor 3 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 8. A slicing blade 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 3. Two limiting blocks 14 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first housing 1 away from the electric push rod 8. Two first fixing clamps 16 are fixedly connected to the corresponding side of the two limiting blocks 14. A second fixing clamp 15 is fixedly and slidably connected to the corresponding side of the two limiting blocks 14 near the upper position of the first fixing clamp 16. A second housing 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the first housing 1. The second housing 12 is connected to the first housing 1. A baffle 6 is slidably connected to the lower part of the inner wall of the second housing 12.
[0026] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, a distance is left between the two first fixing clips 16, and the second fixing clip 15 is located between the two first fixing clips 16. By using this solution, when the second fixing clip 15 moves downward, the clamping range of the first fixing clips 15 and the second fixing clip 16 can be increased through the position between the two first fixing clips 16, which can be adapted to the fixing of Chinese medicine of different sizes.
[0027] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, both limiting blocks 14 have cavities inside. The two sides of the second fixing clamp 15 extend into the interior of the two limiting blocks 14 respectively. The interior of one of the two limiting blocks 14 is rotatably connected to a first threaded rod 13. One side of the first threaded rod 13 is threadedly connected to one side of the second fixing clamp 15. By using this solution, the second fixing clamp 15 can be limited, allowing the second fixing clamp 15 to move linearly up and down. Rotating the first threaded rod 13 can control the movement of the second fixing clamp 15, which is more convenient.
[0028] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, a first sliding groove 2 is provided on the inner wall of the first housing 1 near the electric push rod 8. A second threaded rod 11 is rotatably connected inside the first sliding groove 2, and a slider 10 is slidably connected inside the first sliding groove 2. The slider 10 is threadedly connected to the second threaded rod 11. The electric push rod 8 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the slider 10. A second motor 9 is fixedly connected to the housing 1 near the second threaded rod 11. The output end of the second motor 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the second threaded rod 11. By using this solution, the slider 10 can be slidably connected to the first housing 1 through the first sliding groove 2, which serves to limit the movement of the slider 10. At the same time, the movement of the slider 10 can drive the electric push rod 8 to move, and the electric push rod 8 moves simultaneously with the slicing blade 7. The second motor 9 drives the second threaded rod 11 to rotate, providing power for the rotation of the second threaded rod 11 and the movement of the slider 10.
[0029] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, the inner walls of the second box 12 are provided with second sliding grooves 5 on both sides near the baffle 6. The two ends of the baffle 6 are slidably connected to the two second sliding grooves 5 respectively. By using this solution, the baffle 6 can be slidably connected to the second box 12 through the second sliding grooves 5, which can play the role of limiting the baffle 6. Moving the baffle 6 can discharge the Chinese medicine that has fallen into the second box 12 from the discharge port 4.
[0030] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, the second box 12 is provided with a discharge port on the side near the electric push rod 8. By using this solution, it is easier for staff to collect the cut Chinese medicine and further increase the convenience.
[0031] This automatic feeding and slicing machine for Chinese herbal medicine slices requires the following steps when in use:
[0032] 1) Place one end of the herb between the first fixing clamp 16 and the second fixing clamp 15, and then rotate the first threaded rod 13 to control the movement of the second fixing clamp 15;
[0033] 2) Rotating the second threaded rod 11 can drive the slider 10 to move, and the movement of the slider 10 can drive the electric push rod 8 to move.
[0034] 3) As the slicing blade 7 moves toward the Chinese medicine, the electric push rod 8 drives the slicing blade 7 to extend and retract repeatedly.
[0035] In summary, when using the device, the user places one end of the herb between the first fixing clamp 16 and the second fixing clamp 15. Rotating the first threaded rod 13 controls the movement of the second fixing clamp 15, allowing it to move vertically and securely. This eliminates the need for continuous manual fixation, reducing labor requirements. The second motor 9 drives the second threaded rod 11 to rotate, providing power for the rotation of the second threaded rod 11 and the movement of the slider 10. The slider 10 is slidably connected to the first housing 1 via the first groove 2, which limits its movement. Rotating the second threaded rod 11 moves the slider 10. Simultaneously, the movement of slider 10 drives the electric push rod 8 to move, which in turn moves together with the slicing blade 7. As the slicing blade 7 moves towards the Chinese medicine, the electric push rod 8 drives the slicing blade 7 to repeatedly extend and retract, thus completing the automatic slicing of the Chinese medicine and achieving the effect of automatic feeding. There is no need for manual pushing to change the position of the Chinese medicine, making it more convenient. Finally, when slider 10 moves to drive the slicing blade 7 to slice the Chinese medicine, the rotation speed of the second threaded rod 11 can be adjusted to adjust the moving speed of slider 10. The faster the speed, the thicker the slice. It can be freely adjusted according to the required thickness of the Chinese medicine slices, further increasing its applicability.
