[0022] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0023] For examples, please refer to Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0024] A medicinal herb slicing machine includes a frame 1. Inside the frame 1 is a conveyor belt assembly 101. A fixing block 2 is located at the top of the conveyor belt assembly 101. The fixing block 2 has several slots 201, and each slot 201 has a locking block 202 inside. A support frame 3 is located at the end of the locking block 202 away from the fixing block 2. Electric push rods 301 are symmetrically arranged on the support frame 3. A connecting frame 302 is located at the output end of the electric push rod 301. A fixed shaft 303 is located between two connecting frames 302. The outside of the fixed shaft 303 is... The roller 308 has a relief groove 304 on its support frame 3. A slice 305 is placed inside the relief groove 304. A connecting sleeve 306 is located at the top of the slice 305. Cylinders 307 are located at both ends of the connecting sleeve 306. A guide plate 4 is located at the end of the frame 1 away from the fixed block 2. Baffles 401 are symmetrically arranged on the guide plate 4. A filter screen 402 is located inside the guide plate 4. A debris collection box 403 is located at the bottom of the filter screen 402. A finished product collection box 404 is located on one side of the debris collection box 403. The width of the collection box is adjusted according to the width of the medicinal material. When the clamping block 202 is positioned in the slot 201, the drive motor is started, causing the conveyor belt assembly 101 to begin operating. The medicinal materials to be cut are evenly placed on the metal sheet conveyor belt. The medicinal materials move towards the fixed block 2 along with the conveyor belt. At the same time, the clamping block 202 limits the movement of the medicinal materials to prevent them from squeezing or rolling together. When the medicinal materials reach the fixed block 2, the electric push rod 301 on the support frame 3 pushes the connecting frame 302 downward, causing the roller 308 to contact the medicinal materials. The roller 308 does not obstruct the movement of the medicinal materials. Meanwhile, the slice 305 reciprocates under the drive of the cylinder 307 to cut the medicinal materials. The cut medicinal materials continue to move forward with the conveyor belt assembly 101 until they fall onto the guide plate 4. After being filtered by the filter screen 402, the finished medicinal materials fall into the finished product collection box 404, while the broken medicinal materials enter the debris collection box 403. If the slice 305 is worn, it can be replaced by removing the bolts. The whole process realizes the automatic conveying, pressing, slicing, debris separation and finished product collection of medicinal materials, which improves slicing efficiency and quality.

[0025] The conveyor belt assembly 101 includes a conveyor belt, a drive roller, a driven roller, a drive motor, and a support shaft. The drive motor is connected to the drive roller. The two ends of the driven roller and the support shaft are connected to the frame 1 via bearing seats. The conveyor belt is a thin metal sheet. The conveyor belt assembly 101 transports the medicinal materials. The fixed block 2 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. The locking block 202 is provided with a positioning block. The slot 201 is provided with a positioning groove that matches the positioning block. One side of the locking block 202 is provided with a limiting plate. The longitudinal cross-sectional area of ​​the limiting plate is larger than the longitudinal cross-sectional area of ​​the slot 201. The position of the locking block 202 is adjusted by the cooperation between the locking block and the slot 201 to accommodate medicinal materials of different widths. The two ends of the fixed shaft 303 are fixedly connected to the connecting frame 302. Roller 308 can rotate along the central axis of fixed shaft 303. The surface of roller 308 is covered with thick rubber. The roller and electric push rod are used to press the medicinal materials to prevent them from rolling. Guide plate 4 is obliquely set between the guide plate 4 and frame 1. Guide plate 4 is provided with clearance groove. The inside of clearance groove is provided with a placement frame along its circumference. Filter screen 402 is embedded in clearance groove. Filter screen 402 is used to distinguish between broken medicinal materials and finished medicinal materials. Broken medicinal materials also have utilization value and can be collected for further processing. Connecting sleeve 306 is provided with groove inside, and slice 305 is adapted to the groove for embedded connection. Connecting sleeve 306 and slice 305 are respectively provided with mounting holes and fixed by bolts. When slice 305 is worn, it is easy to replace slice 305.

[0026] The working process of this utility model is as follows: When using this type of medicinal herb slicer, firstly, adjust the position of the clamping block 202 in the slot 201 according to the width of the medicinal herb, start the drive motor to make the conveyor belt assembly 101 start running, and evenly place the medicinal herb to be sliced ​​on the metal sheet conveyor belt. The medicinal herb moves towards the fixed block 2 with the conveyor belt. At the same time, the clamping block 202 limits the medicinal herb to prevent it from squeezing or rolling together. When the medicinal herb reaches the position of the fixed block 2, the electric push rod 301 on the support frame 3 pushes the connecting frame 302 downward to make the roller 308 contact the medicinal herb. In contact, the roller 308 does not obstruct the movement of the medicinal materials. At the same time, the slice 305 reciprocates under the drive of the cylinder 307 to cut the medicinal materials. The cut medicinal material slices continue to move forward with the conveyor belt assembly 101 until they fall onto the guide plate 4. After being filtered by the filter screen 402, the finished medicinal materials fall into the finished product collection box 404, while the broken medicinal materials enter the debris collection box 403. If the slice 305 is worn, it can be replaced by removing the bolts. The whole process realizes the automatic conveying, pressing, slicing, debris separation and finished product collection of the medicinal materials, improving slicing efficiency and quality.
