Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicinal material processing technology, specifically to an asparagus slicer. Background Technology
[0002] Asparagus root is the tuberous root of *Asparagus officinalis*, a plant belonging to the genus *Asparagus* in the family Liliaceae. It is also known as evergreen or *Asparagus densiflorus*. The surface is yellowish-white or light yellowish-brown, translucent, smooth or with longitudinal wrinkles of varying depths, occasionally with remnants of grayish-brown outer skin. It is hard or soft, sticky, and has a horny cross-section with a yellowish-white central column. Thin slices are light yellowish-brown, revealing the yellowish-white central column. The best quality is yellowish-white and translucent. Asparagus root is long spindle-shaped or cylindrical, slightly curved, ranging from 10 to 30 cm in length and 1 to 3 cm in diameter.
[0003] When slicing asparagus, it is usually sliced vertically perpendicular to the axis, resulting in slices of similar diameter. Then, it is dried. Because asparagus is long spindle-shaped or cylindrical, it may be in a horizontal position when automatically sliced by a slicer, resulting in long strips. This is not conducive to the subsequent drying and use of asparagus. At the same time, the horizontal stacking of asparagus medicinal material leads to uneven slice thickness. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides an asparagus slicer.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: an asparagus slicer, including a slicing box and a raw material bin; multiple sets of guide partitions are provided in the raw material bin, and the bottom end of the guide partitions is hinged to the raw material bin;
[0006] The height of the guide partition is greater than the diameter of the medicinal material, and multiple sets of guide partitions divide the raw material warehouse into multiple spaces; the upper surface of the guide partition is rotatably connected with guide flaps, and the distance between the tops of two adjacent guide flaps is greater than the length of the medicinal material.
[0007] In one possible implementation, the guide flap has chamfers on both sides, and the guide flap is made of lightweight plastic. The folding angle of the guide flap is between 60° and 90°.
[0008] In one possible implementation, a second motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the raw material silo, and a reducer is connected to the output end of the second motor. The reducer is connected to a third pulley via a second belt, and the third pulley is connected to the outer wall of the raw material silo.
[0009] In one possible implementation, a fourth pulley is provided on the side wall of the raw material silo, and the fourth pulley is connected to the third pulley via a fourth belt.
[0010] In one possible implementation, a rotating shaft is provided on one side of the fourth pulley, the rotating shaft is located at the upper end near the guide partition, and a cam is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft, the cam being located at the bottom of the guide partition.
[0011] In one possible implementation, a storage box is fixedly installed inside the raw material silo, and the storage box is positioned above the guide partition.
[0012] In one possible implementation, the storage box is tilted, and one end of the storage box extends to the outside of the raw material silo.
[0013] In one possible implementation, a slicing box is provided through the end of the raw material silo, and a circulating slicing wheel is provided inside the slicing box.
[0014] In one possible implementation, a first motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the slicing box, a first pulley is fixedly connected to one side of the circulating slicing wheel, and the output end of the first motor is connected to the first pulley via a first belt.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] (1) The asparagus slicer described in this utility model, compared with the prior art, can guide the asparagus through the guide folds. The asparagus can enter horizontally between the two guide folds. The cam hits the bottom of the partition at a frequency of -Hz, causing the guide partition to swing back and forth, accelerating the passage of the asparagus. This allows the asparagus to move downward and contact the guide folds, making the horizontal asparagus turn into a vertical shape more quickly and enter the guide partition, which is convenient for subsequent slicing.

[0025] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. Example
[0026] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides an asparagus slicer, which includes a slicing box 100 and a raw material bin 200; the raw material bin 200 is provided with multiple sets of guide partitions 210, and the bottom end of the guide partitions 210 is hinged to the raw material bin 200.
[0027] The height of the guide partition 210 is greater than the diameter of the medicinal material, and multiple sets of guide partitions 210 divide the raw material silo 200 into multiple spaces; the upper surface of the guide partition 210 is rotatably connected to the guide flap 270, and the distance between the top ends of two adjacent guide flaps 270 is greater than the length of the medicinal material.
[0028] The guide partition 210 forces the medicinal materials to remain upright. Asparagus typically ranges in length from 10 to 30 cm and in diameter from 1 to 3 cm. The guide partition 210 is wider than the diameter of the asparagus, set at 4-5 cm, ensuring the asparagus enters vertically within the guide partition 210. The guide flaps 270 guide the asparagus horizontally between two guide flaps 270, with a spacing of >30 cm between adjacent flaps (maximum asparagus length + 5 cm safety margin). This prevents long strips of medicinal materials from crossing areas and forming an "X-shaped" blockage, reducing equipment blockage rate by 82%. Simultaneously, it allows the falling asparagus to enter the guide partition 210 at an angle. The hinged guide partition 210 can generate a 5-10° swing angle, cooperating with the guide flaps 270 to accelerate the entry of asparagus into the guide partition 210.
[0029] Preferably, the guide flap 270 has chamfers on both sides, and the guide flap 270 is made of lightweight plastic. The folding angle of the guide flap 270 is between 60° and 90°.
[0030] The lightweight plastic guide flap 270 provides elastic cushioning, and its chamfered design reduces the sliding resistance of the medicinal material by 37%. The folding angle of the guide flap 270, between 60° and 90°, can block the transverse asparagus, causing it to turn vertically and enter the guide partition 210. This facilitates smooth subsequent slicing. Example
[0031] Basically the same as in Example 1, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the difference is that a second motor 220 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the raw material silo 200, and a reducer 230 is connected to the output end of the second motor 220. The reducer 230 is connected to the third pulley 240 through the second belt, and the third pulley 240 is connected to the outer wall of the raw material silo 200.
[0032] A fourth pulley 260 is provided on the side wall of the raw material silo 200, and the fourth pulley 260 is connected to the third pulley 240 through a fourth belt 250;
[0033] A rotating shaft 261 is provided on one side of the fourth pulley 260. The rotating shaft 261 is located at the upper end near the guide partition 210. A cam 262 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 261. The cam 262 is located at the bottom of the guide partition 210.
[0034] The output of the second motor 220 drives the reducer 230 to rotate. The reducer 230 drives the third pulley 240 to rotate synchronously via the second belt. The third pulley 240 drives the fourth pulley 260 to rotate via the fourth belt 250. During the rotation of the fourth pulley 260, the cam 262 rotates via the rotating shaft 261. The cam 262 strikes the bottom of the partition at a frequency of 15-20Hz, causing the guide partition 210 to oscillate back and forth, accelerating the passage of asparagus. This causes the asparagus to move downward and contact the guide flap 270, making the horizontal asparagus turn into a vertical shape more quickly and enter the guide partition 210, which is convenient for subsequent slicing.
[0035] Preferably, a storage box 300 is fixedly installed inside the raw material silo 200, and the storage box 300 is positioned above the guide partition 210. The storage box 300 is inclined, and one end of the storage box 300 extends to the outside of the raw material silo 200.
[0036] Asparagus that did not enter the guide partition 210 will enter the storage box 300 during the shaking of the guide partition 210. The storage box 300 is tilted, and the asparagus will slide out along the storage box 300 to the outside of the raw material warehouse 200. The staff can then put the asparagus back in in batches.
[0037] There is a gap between the storage box 300 and the guide partition 210, so that the guide partition 210 will not hit the storage box 300 during shaking. Example
[0038] Basically the same as in Example 1, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the difference is that a slicing box 100 is provided through the end of the raw material silo 200, and a circulating slicing wheel 110 is provided inside the slicing box 100.
[0039] A first motor 140 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the slicing box 100, and a first pulley 120 is fixedly connected to one side of the circulating slicing wheel 110. The output end of the first motor 140 is connected to the first pulley 120 through the first belt 130.
[0040] Asparagus entering the slicing box 100 is sliced by the circulating slicing wheel 110. During the rotation of the output end of the first motor 140, the first belt 130 drives the first pulley 120 to rotate, which in turn drives the circulating slicing wheel 110 to rotate, thus slicing the asparagus.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The descriptions of the above embodiments and specifications are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
