[0010] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are:

[0011] 1. Achieve precise adjustment of the cutting thickness of Chinese herbal medicine slices; by manually rotating the transmission adjustment screw, the transmission sliding block slides on the transmission disc, changing its position relative to the rotation center of the transmission disc. This adjustment method directly affects the swing amplitude of the transmission linkage three, thereby precisely controlling the rotation amplitude of the transmission ratchet driven by the transmission pawl, ultimately achieving precise adjustment of the transmission belt's travel distance. Precise adjustment of the transmission belt's travel distance means that the feed rate of the Chinese herbal medicine slices during the cutting process can be precisely controlled. Precise control of the feed rate is a key factor in ensuring uniform and consistent cutting thickness of Chinese herbal medicine slices, thus meeting the strict thickness requirements of different Chinese herbal medicine slices. The feed rate can be flexibly adjusted according to the different thickness requirements of Chinese herbal medicine slices in actual production, achieving precise cutting of slices of different thicknesses, improving the applicability of the equipment and the flexibility of production.

[0012] 2. The operator rotates the cutting screw, which drives the cutting slider to slide on the cutting disc, changing the position of the cutting slider relative to the center of rotation of the cutting disc. This design allows for precise adjustment of the sliding amplitude of the cutting slide holder on the support, thereby adjusting the cutting amplitude of the Chinese herbal medicine slices on the transmission belt. Flexible adjustment of the cutting amplitude for Chinese herbal medicine slices of different diameters effectively avoids problems such as a high proportion of thick slices, thin slices, or fragments due to inappropriate cutting amplitude, greatly improving the material utilization rate of Chinese herbal medicine and reducing production costs. Flexible adjustment of the cutting amplitude according to the diameter of the Chinese herbal medicine slices allows the cutting blade to better adapt to herbs of different diameters, ensuring that the shape and size of each slice meets requirements and improving the quality of the Chinese herbal medicine slices.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, a power unit 3 is provided between the cutting disc 203 and the transmission disc 101.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this utility model discloses a precision thickness control device for cutting Chinese herbal medicine slices. Its working principle is as follows: the cutting range of the cutting blade 206 is adjusted; the operator rotates the cutting screw 201, and the rotation of the cutting screw 201 drives the cutting slider 202 to slide. The sliding of the cutting slider 202 changes the position of the cutting slider 202 to the rotation center of the cutting disc 203, thereby adjusting the sliding range of the cutting sliding blade holder 205 on the support 4, realizing the adjustment of the cutting range of the cutting blade 206 cutting the Chinese herbal medicine slices on the transmission belt 115, and thus realizing flexible adjustment according to the diameter of the Chinese herbal medicine slices.

[0029] The thickness of the Chinese herbal medicine slices can be precisely adjusted. The operator manually rotates the transmission adjustment screw 102, which drives the transmission sliding block 103 to slide, adjusting the position of the transmission sliding block 103 and the rotation center of the transmission disc 101. This, in turn, changes the swing amplitude of the transmission connecting rod 106, thereby adjusting the rotation amplitude of the transmission plate 109 driving the transmission pawl 108 to move the transmission ratchet 110. This, in turn, precisely controls the movement distance of the transmission belt 115, thus adjusting the feed amount of the Chinese herbal medicine slices on the transmission belt 115.

[0030] The Chinese herbal medicine slices to be cut are placed on the transmission belt 115. The power motor 301 is turned on, and the rotation of the power motor 301 drives the power transmission wheel 302 through the power transmission belt 303. In turn, the power transmission wheel 302 drives the power shaft 304 to rotate. The rotation of the power shaft 304 drives the cutting disc 203 and the transmission disc 101 to rotate. When the cutting disc 203 rotates, it drives the cutting slider 202, which is eccentrically set on the cutting disc 203, to rotate. The rotation of the cutting slider 202 is transmitted through the cutting connecting rod 20... 4. Pulling the cutting sliding blade holder 205 back and forth on the bracket 4, the cutting sliding blade holder 205 back and forth drives the cutting blade 206 to cut the Chinese herbal medicine slices on the transmission belt 115. At the same time, when the transmission disc 101 rotates, it drives the transmission sliding block 103 eccentrically set on it to drive the transmission connecting rod 104 to drive the transmission connecting rod 205, which in turn drives the transmission connecting rod 306 to swing back and forth. When the transmission connecting rod 306 rotates counterclockwise around its center, the transmission... Linkage 3 106 drives the transmission pawl 108 to rotate via linkage 4 107, causing the transmission pawl 108 to disengage from the groove on the transmission ratchet 110. When linkage 3 106 continues to rotate counterclockwise, it touches the limit post on the transmission plate 109, causing the transmission plate 109 to rotate counterclockwise to a predetermined position. When linkage 3 106 rotates clockwise, it first pulls the transmission pawl 108 via linkage 4 107, causing the transmission pawl 108 to engage with the transmission ratchet 110. The groove on the moving ratchet 110 engages, and the transmission link 3 106 continues to rotate clockwise. Through the limit post, it drives the transmission plate 109, the transmission pawl 108, the transmission link 4 107, and the transmission ratchet 110 to rotate clockwise together. The clockwise rotation of the transmission ratchet 110 drives the transmission roller 114 to rotate clockwise. The rotation of the transmission roller 114 drives the transmission belt 115 to rotate, thereby causing the Chinese herbal medicine slices on the transmission belt 115 to move a certain distance, and the cutting blade 206 slices them.

[0031] During the slicing process, due to the different positions of the cutting slider 202 and the transmission sliding block 103, when the cutting blade 206 moves upward, the transmission belt 115 rotates and drives the Chinese herbal medicine slices on the transmission belt 115 to the appropriate position. When the cutting blade 206 cuts downward, the transmission pawl 108 disengages from the transmission ratchet 110, and the transmission ratchet 110 is in a stationary state. At this time, the transmission belt 115 is stationary, and the cutting blade 206 cuts the Chinese herbal medicine slices on the transmission belt 115.
