Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of slicing machine technology, and more specifically, it relates to an adjustable slicer. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, herbal slicing machines are widely used in the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing to cut various root and rhizome, block, or strip-shaped medicinal materials into uniform thin slices. This facilitates subsequent drying, processing, and preparation. Slicing is a crucial step in the preparation of prepared herbal pieces, directly affecting the efficacy and quality of the medicinal materials. Existing slicers generally suffer from poor adaptability, especially when processing medicinal materials of varying hardness and shape, often failing to achieve efficient and uniform slicing results.

[0003] On the one hand, the pressure of traditional slicers is mostly fixed and cannot be adjusted according to the hardness of the medicinal materials, which makes soft medicinal materials prone to compression deformation and uneven slicing. On the other hand, existing equipment lacks flexibility in feeding methods and clamping structures. When faced with irregularly shaped medicinal materials, problems such as poor feeding or even jamming often occur, affecting production efficiency and product quality.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings to provide an adjustable slicer, in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problems mentioned in the background art above, this utility model provides an adjustable slicer.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: An adjustable slicer includes a machine body, a mounting frame, and a pressing mechanism. A feeding frame is provided on the machine body, and several feeding rods are provided on the feeding frame, forming a feeding port between the feeding rods. A conveying cavity is opened inside the machine body, and the conveying cavity communicates with the feeding frame. A conveyor belt is driven within the conveying cavity. The mounting frame is located at the end of the feeding frame, and a cutting component is provided on the mounting frame for cutting the material on the conveyor belt. The pressing mechanism includes a pressing prism, and a pressing arc plate corresponding to its prism face is provided on the pressing prism. Several guide posts are provided on the pressing arc plate, and a guide cavity matching the guide posts is opened on the pressing prism. A spring is sleeved on the guide posts, and both ends of the spring are connected to the pressing arc plate and the pressing prism, respectively. An adjustment component is provided on the machine body, and the pressing prism is rotatably connected to the adjustment component, which is used to adjust the height of the pressing prism.

[0007] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly includes connecting blocks that are slidably connected to both sides of the machine body, the pressing prism is rotatably connected to the connecting blocks, and one of the connecting blocks is internally threaded with an adjusting screw, which is rotatably connected to the machine body.

[0008] Furthermore, a rubber strip is provided on the outer surface of the pressing arc plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the cutting assembly includes a blade holder, which is driven by a drive unit mounted on a mounting bracket. A cutting blade is slidably locked on the blade holder, and the machine body has a slit that matches the cutting blade.

[0010] Furthermore, the driving component is a rodless cylinder, and the tool holder is connected to the output slider of the rodless cylinder.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper part of the cutter is provided with several adjustment ports, the cutter holder is provided with adjustment holes, a fixing stud is inserted into the adjustment hole, and a fixing block is threaded to the end of the fixing stud. The diameter of the fixing block is larger than the width of the adjustment port.

[0012] Furthermore, the machine body is provided with a discharge frame, located on one side of the mounting frame near the end of the conveyor belt.

[0013] Furthermore, the conveyor belt is made of polyurethane.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. The pressing arc plate contacts the surface of the medicinal material, and the guide post on it is inserted into the guide cavity of the pressing prism to form a sliding guide structure; a spring is placed between the two to provide adjustable elastic pressure. When the hardness of the medicinal material varies, the pressing arc plate compresses the spring, causing the pressing mechanism to automatically adapt to changes in the thickness of the medicinal material. At the same time, the overall height of the pressing prism can be adjusted by the adjustment component to adapt to different specifications of medicinal materials, further enhancing the equipment's adaptability to medicinal materials of different sizes and shapes, thereby improving the uniformity and stability of the slices.

[0016] 2. Rubber clamps not only prevent hard materials from damaging the surface of medicinal materials, but also increase the stability of clamping by increasing friction. Especially when processing smooth or fragile medicinal materials, they can significantly reduce slippage and breakage, and improve the controllability of the slicing process and the yield.

[0017] 3. By passing the fixing stud through the adjustment hole on the blade holder and connecting its end to the fixing block, and then locking the fixing block into the adjustment port on the cutter, an adjustable mechanical locking structure is formed. Tightening or loosening the fixing stud allows for fine adjustment of the cutter's position, facilitating precise adjustments based on the type of medicinal material and the required slice thickness.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an adjustable slicer includes a machine body, a mounting frame, and a pressing mechanism. The machine body has a feeding frame with several feeding rods forming a feeding inlet between them. A conveying chamber is located inside the machine body and communicates with the feeding frame. A conveyor belt is driven within the conveying chamber. The mounting frame is located at the end of the feeding frame and has a cutting assembly for cutting the material on the conveyor belt. The pressing mechanism includes a pressing prism with a pressing arc plate corresponding to its face. Several guide posts are provided on the pressing arc plate, and a guide cavity matching the guide posts is formed on the pressing prism. Springs are sleeved on the guide posts, with both ends connected to the pressing arc plate and the pressing prism, respectively. An adjustment assembly is located on the machine body, and the pressing prism is rotatably connected to the adjustment assembly, which is used to adjust the height of the pressing prism.

[0026] Using the above technical solution, the pressing mechanism contacts the surface of the medicinal material through a pressing arc plate, and utilizes the guide post on the plate to insert into the guide cavity of the pressing prism, forming a sliding guide structure; a spring is placed between the two to provide adjustable elastic pressure. When the hardness of the medicinal material varies, the pressing arc plate is compressed by the force to compress the spring, allowing the pressing mechanism to automatically adapt to changes in the thickness of the medicinal material. At the same time, the overall height of the pressing prism can be adjusted by the adjustment component to adapt to medicinal materials of different specifications, further enhancing the equipment's adaptability to medicinal materials of different sizes and shapes, thereby improving the uniformity and stability of the slices.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment, the adjustment assembly includes connecting blocks that are slidably connected to both sides of the machine body. The pressing prism is rotatably connected to the connecting blocks, and one of the connecting blocks is internally threaded with an adjusting screw, which is rotatably connected to the machine body. This adjustment method allows the pressing mechanism to flexibly adapt to medicinal materials of different thicknesses, ensuring that the pressing arc plate always adheres to the surface of the medicinal material without being too tight or too loose. This improves the clamping stability and feeding consistency of irregular medicinal materials, effectively reducing uneven slicing caused by poor clamping.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment, the outer surface of the pressing arc plate is provided with a rubber pressing strip. The rubber pressing strip can not only prevent hard materials from damaging the surface of the medicinal materials, but also improve the stability of clamping by increasing friction. Especially when processing smooth or fragile medicinal materials, it can significantly reduce slippage and breakage, and improve the controllability of the slicing process and the yield.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment, the cutting assembly includes a blade holder, which is driven by a drive unit mounted on a mounting bracket. A cutting blade is slidably locked on the blade holder, and the machine body has a slit that matches the cutting blade.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment, the driving component is a rodless cylinder, and the blade holder is connected to the output slider of the rodless cylinder. This results in fast response, low maintenance costs, and a smoother movement trajectory, thereby ensuring the cutting quality of the cutter at high speeds and reducing the impact of vibration on the uniformity of the slices.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment, the upper part of the cutter has several adjustment ports, and the cutter holder has adjustment holes. A fixing stud passes through each adjustment hole, and a fixing block is threaded to the end of the fixing stud. The diameter of the fixing block is larger than the width of the adjustment port. By passing the fixing stud through the adjustment hole on the cutter holder and connecting its end to the fixing block, and then locking the fixing block into the adjustment port on the cutter, an adjustable mechanical locking structure is formed. Tightening or loosening the fixing stud allows for fine-tuning of the cutter's position, facilitating precise adjustments based on the type of medicinal material and the required slice thickness.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment, the machine body is equipped with a discharge frame located on one side of the mounting frame near the end of the conveyor belt. The rational layout of the discharge frame facilitates the smooth discharge of materials from the machine and allows for direct collection of the discharged materials.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment, the conveyor belt is made of polyurethane. Polyurethane material has excellent wear resistance, tear resistance, and good flexibility, making it suitable for industries with high hygiene requirements, such as food and pharmaceuticals; its surface friction coefficient is moderate, which can effectively move the medicinal materials forward without causing excessive wear.

[0034] The present invention has been described in detail above. The specific embodiments are provided only to help understand the method and core idea of ​​the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to the present invention without departing from its principles, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
