Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece cutting technology, and in particular relates to a continuously adjustable pressing device for cutting traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. Background Technology

[0002] Prepared herbal pieces are a primary form of medication in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) clinical practice and a crucial link in the TCM industry chain. After cleaning and softening, medicinal materials are cut into specific shapes such as slices, segments, shreds, and chunks (i.e., prepared herbal pieces) before further processing, dispensing, decoction, or preparation. The thickness of the prepared herbal pieces directly affects the dissolution rate and extent of the active ingredients. If they are too thick, the decoction will not be thorough, and the active ingredients will not dissolve fully; if they are too thin, they will be brittle and prone to gelatinization, affecting the quality of the decoction and filtration. Uniform thickness is essential for ensuring consistent concentration of the decoction between batches. Therefore, a herbal cutting machine is used to cut the herbs. In this machine, the pressing device is located in front of the blades, and its core function is to stably, continuously, and evenly compress and transport the material to be cut (the softened herbs) to the cutting area.

[0003] However, existing pressing devices cannot be adjusted arbitrarily according to the size of Chinese medicinal herbs, thus failing to effectively press herbs of different sizes and affecting the pressing effect on various Chinese medicinal herbs. Furthermore, when using pressing devices, the herbs are often compressed too tightly, preventing them from being pushed out and affecting subsequent slicing. Therefore, we provide a continuously adjustable pressing device for slicing Chinese medicinal herbs to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 5This utility model is a continuously adjustable pressing device for cutting Chinese herbal medicine slices. The pressing plate 3 moves up and down by controlling the advancing screw 6, so that it can be adjusted at will according to the size of the Chinese herbal medicine. At the same time, it controls the cooperation between the pressing plate 3 and the roller 302 to avoid the Chinese herbal medicine being compressed and to facilitate the continuous pushing of the Chinese herbal medicine.

[0027] Specifically, a conveyor plate 1 is provided with an inverted U-shaped plate 2 at the rear of the upper end face of the conveyor plate 1. A pressing plate 3 is provided on the inner side of the U-shaped plate 2 above the conveyor plate 1. A advancing screw 6 is provided directly above the pressing plate 3. A pusher 4 is provided on the upper end face of the conveyor plate 1, which is flush with its rear end face. Multiple sets of connecting rods 301 are fixed on the inner side wall below the pressing plate 3, which are evenly distributed front and back. A roller 302 is sleeved on each connecting rod 301.

[0028] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: With the above-mentioned structure, the Chinese medicine is first placed on the conveyor plate 1. The advancing screw 6 is controlled to rotate downward, and the advancing screw 6 will directly control the pressing plate 3 to move downward, and the pressing plate 3 will press the Chinese medicine. The advancing screw 6 controls the vertical height adjustment of the pressing plate 3, so that the height position of the pressing plate 3 can be adjusted according to the different sizes of the Chinese medicine. At the same time, after the pressing plate 3 moves downward, the pressing plate 3 will control the roller 302 to contact the surface of the Chinese medicine. Therefore, the pusher 4 is controlled to push the Chinese medicine to move on the upper surface of the conveyor plate 1, and then the Chinese medicine will drive the roller 302 to rotate. This allows the Chinese medicine to be pressed again while the movement of the Chinese medicine can be easily controlled, which facilitates the subsequent cutting efficiency of the Chinese medicine.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 Based on Example 1, the detachable connection between the movable rod 402 and the pull plate 5, and the detachable connection between the locking plate 104 and the conveying plate 1, facilitate the disassembly of the push bar 4.

[0031] Specifically, the conveyor plate 1 has two sets of movable holes 101 that penetrate the rear end face of the conveyor plate 1 and are symmetrically arranged on the left and right. The upper end face of the conveyor plate 1 has two adjustment ports 102 that communicate with the interior of the movable holes 101. The protrusions fixed at the lower end of the pusher 4, passing through the adjustment ports 102, are each fixed with a circular plate 401 located within the movable holes 101. The front end face of the conveyor plate 1 has a mounting groove 103 that communicates with the interior of the two sets of movable holes 101. The mounting groove 103 contains... The locking plate 104 is bolted to the conveyor plate 1. Limiting holes 105 are provided on the side wall of the locking plate 104 at the positions corresponding to the movable holes 101. A pull plate 5 is provided on the front end face of the locking plate 104. A pull rod 501 is fixed on the front end face of the pull plate 5. A movable rod 402 is fixed on the front end face of the circular plate 401. The end face of the movable rod 402 passes through the limit hole 105 and is connected to the pull plate 5 by bolts. A spring 403 is fixed on the front end face of the circular plate 401 and sleeved on the movable rod 402.

[0032] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: Using the above-described structure, in order to control the pusher 4 to move the Chinese medicine, the operator can control the pull rod 501 to move the pull plate 5 away from the conveyor plate 1. The pull plate 5 will drive the movable rod 402 to move in the limiting hole 105, thereby the movable rod 402 will control the circular plate 401 to slide in the movable hole 101. The circular plate 401 will compress the spring 403, so the circular plate 401 will synchronously drive the pusher 4 to move on the conveyor strip. Therefore, the Chinese medicine is placed on the conveyor... When the pusher is in the upper position of the conveying platform, the pusher 4 can be slowly released, and the pusher 4 will slowly push the Chinese medicine to slide on the conveying plate 1, so that the Chinese medicine is continuously pushed out on the conveying plate 1. At the same time, when disassembling the pusher 4, the pull plate 5 is moved towards the conveying plate 1 to expose the locking plate 104. The bolt between the pull plate 5 and the movable rod 402 is unscrewed, and the locking plate 104 is unscrewed out of the mounting groove 103. The pusher 4 can be taken out from the movable hole 101 behind the conveying plate 1, which makes it easy to disassemble the pusher 4.

[0033] Example 3

[0034] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 5 Based on Example 1, the single structure can be replaced by a detachable connection between the advancing screw 6 and the clamping block.

[0035] Specifically, an assembly block 303 is fixed at the middle of the upper end face of the clamping plate 3. The upper end face of the assembly block 303 has an installation port 304.

A push rod 602 is fixed on the upper end face of the advancing screw 6 located above the U-shaped plate 2.

[0036] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: When it is necessary to control the disassembly of the advancing screw 6 and the clamping plate 3, the T-shaped ring block 307 and the assembly block 303 are disassembled, so that the rotating block 305 can be exposed in the mounting port 304. While keeping the mounting block stationary, the advancing screw 6 is controlled to rotate, so that the advancing screw 6 drives the assembly screw 601 to rotate out of the screw hole 306, so as to control the disassembly of the advancing screw 6 and the rotating block 305, and the disassembly of the rotating block 305 and the assembly block 303, thereby realizing the disassembly of multiple structures. After the rotating block 305 and the advancing screw 6 are assembled and connected, the advancing screw 6 is controlled to rotate. The advancing screw 6 will rotate and move up and down along the screw barrel 201. At the same time, the advancing screw 6 will drive the rotating block 305 to rotate in the mounting port 304, thereby driving the assembly block 303 and the clamping block to move up and down.
