Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of umbilical cord crushing technology, and more specifically to an automatic umbilical cord crusher. Background Technology
[0002] The umbilical cord is a cord-like structure connecting the fetus and placenta, consisting of two umbilical arteries and one umbilical vein, and is covered by a gelatinous substance and amnion. It is the core channel for the fetus to obtain oxygen and nutrients and excrete metabolic waste in the womb. After birth, it is cut, and the remaining portion forms the navel. In traditional Chinese medicine, the umbilical cord is called "Kanqi" and is rich in active ingredients such as proteins and amino acids. In the production of traditional Chinese medicine, the cleaned and dried umbilical cord is usually processed into powder.
[0003] Currently, when processing umbilical cord, a rotating shredder is typically used to shred the cord. However, when the umbilical cord is cut and shredded, the fragments tend to accumulate around the inner wall of the shredder. The shredder has difficulty shredding these accumulated fragments, and the shredder is not easy to disassemble and replace after use. These issues need to be addressed. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides an automatic umbilical cord shredder to solve the problems existing in the background art.
[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic umbilical cord crusher, including a crushing shell, a protective cover threadedly connected to the upper part of the outer wall of the crushing shell, a bushing provided inside the crushing shell, a plurality of crushing blades fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bushing, an arc-shaped scraper overlapping the inner wall of the crushing shell, a connecting rod fixedly connected to the upper and lower parts of one side of the arc-shaped scraper, one end of the connecting rod fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bushing, a rotating shaft movably sleeved inside the bushing, a limiting strip fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft, the limiting strip being integrally formed with the rotating shaft, a limiting groove being formed around the inner wall of the bushing, and the outer wall of the limiting strip being inserted into the limiting groove.
[0006] Furthermore, a stop block is fixedly connected to the upper part of the outer wall of the shaft, and the top of the bushing overlaps the bottom of the shaft.
[0007] Furthermore, two limiting pins are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the bushing. The upper part of the outer wall of the two limiting pins is provided with external threads. The top of the two limiting pins penetrates the interior of the stop block and is threadedly connected to a nut. The bottom of the nut overlaps the top of the stop block.
[0008] Furthermore, a shaft seal is fixedly installed in the center of the inner part of the protective cover, and the upper part of the outer wall of the rotating shaft is rotatably installed inside the shaft seal.
[0009] Furthermore, a motor protective cover is fixedly installed on the top of the protective cover, and a drive motor is fixedly installed inside the motor protective cover. The top end of the rotating shaft extends into the inside of the motor protective cover and is fixedly installed at the output end of the drive motor.
[0010] Furthermore, a control panel is fixedly installed on the right side of the top of the protective cover, and the control panel is electrically connected to the drive motor.
[0011] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] 1. This utility model, through the combination of a crushing shell and a protective cover, facilitates the protection of the crushed umbilical cord. The combination of a drive motor, a rotating shaft limiting strip, and a bushing facilitates the rotation of the crushing blade, connecting rod, and arc-shaped scraper to crush and cut the umbilical cord. While rotating, the arc-shaped scraper scrapes away umbilical cord fragments adhering to the side wall of the crushing shell and pushes these fragments further into the crushing shell using its curved surface, thereby further improving the crushing efficiency of the crushing blade. This method allows for rapid crushing of the umbilical cord and improves the umbilical cord breaking effect.
[0013] 2. This utility model, through the cooperation of the rotating shaft, limiting strip, stop block, bushing, limiting groove, limiting pin and nut, facilitates the fixing of the bushing on the outer wall of the rotating shaft, or the disassembly of the bushing, which facilitates the subsequent cleaning or replacement of the bushing, crushing blade and arc scraper.

[0021] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the forms of the various structures described in the following embodiments are merely illustrative. The automatic umbilical cord shredder involved in this utility model is not limited to the structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0022] Example 1:
[0023] like Figure 1-6 As shown, an automatic umbilical cord shredder includes a shredder housing 1. A protective cover 2 is threadedly connected to the upper part of the outer wall of the shredder housing 1. The protective cover 2 and the shredder housing 1 can be quickly disassembled and assembled, which facilitates cleaning of the inside of the shredder housing 1 and the protective cover 2. Furthermore, the cooperation between the shredder housing 1 and the protective cover 2 facilitates the protection of the shredded umbilical cord. The protective cover 2 can be made of medical transparent plastic, and the shredder housing 1 can be made of medical metal.
[0024] The protective crushing shell 1 has a bushing 6 inside, and a rotating shaft 5 is movably sleeved inside the bushing 6. Limiting strips 51 are fixedly connected around the outer wall of the rotating shaft 5. The limiting strips 51 and the rotating shaft 5 are integrally formed. Limiting grooves 61 are opened around the inner wall of the bushing 6. The outer wall of the limiting strips 51 is inserted into the limiting grooves 61. There are multiple limiting strips 51. Through the cooperation of multiple limiting strips 51 and limiting grooves 61, the bushing 6 can be initially limited. The rotational force of the rotating shaft 5 can be transmitted to the bushing 6 by using the setting of the limiting strips 51.
[0025] A shaft seal 21 is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner part of the protective cover 2. The upper part of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 5 is rotatably installed inside the shaft seal 21. A motor protective cover 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the protective cover 2. A drive motor 4 is fixedly installed inside the motor protective cover 3. The top end of the rotating shaft 5 extends into the inside of the motor protective cover 3 and is fixedly installed at the output end of the drive motor 4. The shaft seal 21 can seal the space between the protective cover 2 and the rotating shaft 5, thereby preventing water or other substances from entering the inside of the motor protective cover 3 along the rotating shaft 5. The drive motor 4 can drive the rotating shaft 5 and the bushing 6 to rotate.
[0026] Multiple crushing blades 7 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bushing 6. Arc-shaped scrapers 9 are overlapped around the inner wall of the crushing housing 1. Connecting rods 8 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of one side of the arc-shaped scraper 9. One end of the connecting rod 8 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bushing 6. When the rotating shaft 5 and the bushing 6 are driven to rotate by the drive motor 4, the bushing 6 can simultaneously drive multiple crushing blades 7, connecting rods 8 and arc-shaped scrapers 9 to rotate. Multiple crushing blades 7 are used to crush and cut the umbilical cord. One side of multiple arc-shaped scrapers 9 is an arc surface. The arc-shaped scrapers 9 can scrape off the umbilical cord fragments attached to the side wall of the crushing housing 1 and push the umbilical cord fragments into the crushing housing 1 using the arc surface of the arc-shaped scrapers 9, thereby further improving the crushing efficiency of the umbilical cord.
[0027] A control panel 10 is fixedly installed on the right side of the top of the protective cover 2. The control panel 10 is electrically connected to the drive motor 4. The settings of the control panel 10 make it convenient for the staff to operate the drive motor 4.
[0028] Example 2:
[0029] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a stop block 52 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 5. The top of the bushing 6 overlaps the bottom of the rotating shaft 5. Limiting pins 62 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the bushing 6. There are two limiting pins 62. External threads are provided on the upper part of the outer wall of the two limiting pins 62. The top of the two limiting pins 62 penetrates the interior of the stop block 52 and is threadedly connected to a nut 63. The bottom of the nut 63 overlaps the top of the stop block 52. The stop block 52 is used to limit the top of the bushing 6. The limiting pins 62 and the nut 63 are used to fix the bushing 6, thereby fixing the bushing 6 to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 5.
[0030] In summary, as Figure 1-6As shown, this automatic umbilical cord shredder, in use, first screws off the protective cover 2, places the umbilical cord to be shredded inside the shredding housing 1, and then screws the protective cover 2 back onto the upper part of the outer wall of the shredding housing 1. At this time, the operator controls the drive motor 4 through the control panel 10. The output end of the drive motor 4 drives the rotating shaft 5, the limit bar 51, the stop block 52, the bushing 6, the limit pin 62, and the nut 63 to rotate. The bushing 6 also drives the shredding blade 7, the connecting rod 8, and the arc-shaped scraper 9 to rotate inside the shredding housing 1. The multiple shredding blades 7 shred and cut the umbilical cord. While rotating, the arc-shaped scraper 9 can scrape off the umbilical cord fragments attached to the side wall of the shredding housing 1, and the arc surface of the arc-shaped scraper 9 pushes the umbilical cord fragments into the shredding housing 1, thus facilitating the shredding blades 7 to shred the umbilical cord fragments. Next, screw off the protective cover 2 and remove the crushed umbilical cord from the inside of the crushing housing 1. Screw off the nuts 63 on the outer wall of the two limiting pins 62, and then move the bushing 6 downward to remove it from the bottom of the rotating shaft 5. This allows for the disassembly of the bushing 6, which facilitates subsequent cleaning or replacement of the bushing 6, crushing blade 7, connecting rod 8, and arc scraper 9. During installation, place the inner top of the bushing 6 onto the outer wall of the rotating shaft 5 and insert the multiple limiting strips 51 into the limiting grooves 61 to initially limit the bushing 6. Then, move the bushing 6 upward so that the limiting pins 62 at the top of the bushing 6 pass through the inside of the stop block 52. Finally, screw the nuts 63 onto the outer wall of the limiting pins 62 and overlap the bottom of the nuts 63 with the bottom of the stop block 52 to fix the bushing 6 onto the outer wall of the rotating shaft 5.
