[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicine cutting machine technology, specifically to a medicine feeding structure for a chopping-type medicine cutting machine. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing, raw medicinal materials need to be sliced to reduce their volume, making it easier to process them through subsequent processes such as decoction, extraction, and concentration.
[0003] However, existing large-volume Chinese herbal medicine cutting machines tend to scatter the herbs after slicing them, requiring staff to spend time collecting the scattered herbs, increasing their workload. In addition, medical staff usually feed the herbs manually when cutting them, which not only easily contaminates the herbs but also increases the risk of knife injuries, resulting in poor safety.
[0004] Therefore, it is particularly important to design a feeding structure for a chopping-type medicine cutter to overcome the above-mentioned technical defects and improve its overall practicality. Utility Model Content

[0024] A feeding structure for a chopping-type medicine cutter includes a platform base 1, a storage platform 2 at the rear of the top of the platform base 1, a roller conveyor 3 at the top of the platform base 1 and in front of the storage platform 2, a cutting platform 4 at the top of the platform base 1 and in front of the roller conveyor 3, a cutting groove 401 at the top of the cutting platform 4, a vertical plate bracket 5 on the right side of the platform base 1, a cutting cylinder 501 mounted on the vertical plate bracket 5, a cutting blade 502 connected to the drive end of the cutting cylinder 501 for use with the cutting groove 401, a discharge guide plate 6 at the top of the platform base 1 and in front of the cutting platform 4, a dropping groove 7 at the top of the platform base 1 and in front of the discharge guide plate 6, slide rails 8 symmetrically arranged on the bottom of the inner side of the dropping groove 7, a sliding plate 801 slidably connected to the top of the two sets of slide rails 8, and a receiving drawer 803 rotatably connected to the top of the sliding plate 801 via a hinge assembly 802.
[0025] The storage platform 2 has a concave structure with an opening facing forward, and the opening end is designed to correspond to the position of the roller conveyor platform 3. The inside of the cutting groove 401 is lined with a hard rubber pad. The discharge guide plate 6 is designed to be inclined, and the two ends of the discharge guide plate 6 correspond to the positions of the cutting platform 4 and the discharge groove 7, respectively. The front side of the receiving drawer 803 is equipped with a pull handle.
[0026] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 and Figure 3 An electric push rod 201 is installed at the rear of the storage platform 2. The drive end of the electric push rod 201 passes through the interior of the storage platform 2 and is connected to a guide push plate 202. An arch frame 203 is set at the front end of the left and right sides of the storage platform 2. A limit cylinder 204 is installed at the top of the arch frame 203. The drive end of the limit cylinder 204 passes through the bottom of the arch frame 203 and is connected to a limit baffle 205. An image acquisition and analysis camera 206 is installed at the front end of the inner wall of the storage platform 2.
[0027] The platform base 1 is equipped with a controller, which is connected to the electric push rod 201, the limit cylinder 204, the image acquisition and analysis camera 206, and the cutting cylinder 501 by wires, and the connection is electrical.
[0028] The working process of this utility model is as follows: In use, the medicinal materials are neatly laid out inside the storage platform 2.

The image acquisition and analysis camera 206 can capture and analyze the feeding of the medicinal materials, ensuring that each group of medicinal materials is transported in an orderly manner. When a group of medicinal materials passes through, the limiting cylinder 204 will drive the limiting baffle 205 to move downward, blocking and limiting the flow of the medicinal materials to prevent too many medicinal materials from flowing onto the roller conveyor 3 and affecting the cutting. The medicinal materials flow on the roller conveyor 3 into the cutting groove 401 on the cutting table 4, and then are cut by the cutting cylinder 501. The blade 502 slices the herb, and the sliced herb falls through the feeding guide plate 6 and into the receiving drawer 803 via the feeding chute 7. After the herb is cut, the receiving drawer 803 is pulled out by the sliding handle in cooperation with the slide rail 8 and the sliding plate 801, and the receiving drawer 803 is lifted by the hinge assembly 802 to collect the herb inside. Automatic feeding and medicine delivery reduces herb contamination and avoids accidents caused by the cutting blade, improving safety. In addition, the herb can be recycled into the receiving drawer through the feeding chute after cutting, avoiding the problem of the herb scattering everywhere and requiring staff to spend time collecting the scattered herb.
[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
