Existing Chinese herbal medicine slicing devices fail to effectively fix the medicinal materials during slicing, resulting in uneven slice thickness and low practicality.
The Chinese medicinal materials are squeezed and fixed by extrusion cylinders and extrusion rollers, and transported by push cylinders and push plates. The slicing motor drives the rotating shaft and cutter to slice the materials. The cutter position is adjusted by screw to control the slice thickness.
It achieves stable delivery of Chinese medicinal materials and uniform slice thickness, thus improving the practicality of the slicing device.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, and in particular to a slicing device for processing traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) refers to substances used for the prevention, treatment, and diagnosis of diseases, as well as for rehabilitation and health maintenance, under the guidance of TCM theory. TCM mainly comes from natural medicines and their processed products. In the process of processing TCM, the medicinal materials need to be sliced.
[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent (application number "202420539635.8") disclosing a "slicing device for processing Chinese herbal medicine slices." This slicing device includes a first support member. Multiple sets of vertically sliding baffles are equidistantly mounted on the upper surface of the first support member. The baffles are slidably connected to limiting plates installed on the legs of the first support member via elastic support members. A placement groove is formed between adjacent sets of baffles. A belt conveyor is positioned above the baffles. Multiple sets of limiting blocks are equidistantly mounted on the surface of the belt conveyor corresponding to the placement groove. The belt conveyor's height can be adjusted via a lifting assembly. However, this slicing device does not compress and fix the Chinese herbal medicine during slicing, causing the medicine to easily shake and resulting in uneven slice thickness, thus reducing its practicality. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides a slicing device for processing traditional Chinese medicine, which solves the problem that the slicing device proposed in the prior art does not compress and fix the Chinese medicinal materials when slicing them, causing the Chinese medicinal materials to shake easily during slicing, resulting in uneven thickness of the slices and low practicality.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A slicing device for processing traditional Chinese medicine includes a support base. A storage mechanism is provided on the top of the support base. The storage mechanism includes two storage cylinders with a semi-circular protrusion on one end of their outer wall. Each storage cylinder contains a pushing assembly, which includes a pushing cylinder and a push plate slidably fitted inside the storage cylinder. A protective mechanism is provided on one side of each storage cylinder. The protective mechanism includes a U-shaped protective frame and a protective plate bolted to the outer wall of one side of the protective frame. Two extrusion assemblies are provided on the protective frame, each extrusion assembly including a [missing information - likely a component or component] bolted to the top outer wall of the protective frame. The system includes an extrusion cylinder, a mounting frame bolted to the bottom of the piston rod of the extrusion cylinder, and extrusion rollers connected at both ends to the inner walls of the mounting frame via bearings. The protective plate is equipped with a slicing assembly, which includes a slicing motor bolted to one outer wall of the protective plate, a rotating shaft connected to one end of the output shaft of the slicing motor via a coupling, a mounting block slidably fitted on the outer wall of the rotating shaft, several cutters bolted to one outer wall of the mounting block, a connecting block connected to the outer wall of the mounting block via bearings, and a screw that passes through and is connected to the outer wall of the connecting block via bearings.
[0007] Preferably, the top two outer walls of the support base are respectively bolted to a mounting base and a fixing base. Two first reinforcing plates are bolted to one outer wall of the mounting base, and two second reinforcing plates are bolted to one outer wall of the fixing base. The two first reinforcing plates and the two second reinforcing plates are respectively bolted to the top outer wall of the support base. The two ends of the two storage cylinders are respectively bolted to the opposite outer walls of the mounting base and the fixing base. The protrusions on the two storage cylinders pass through and are sleeved on the outer wall of the fixing base. A feeding frame is fixed on the top inner wall of both storage cylinders.
[0008] Preferably, the push cylinder is bolted to the outer wall of one side of the mounting base, and the push plate is bolted to the outer wall of one end of the piston rod of the push cylinder.
[0009] The above method involves feeding medicinal herbs into a storage cylinder via a feeding frame, followed by moving the piston rod of a push cylinder to move a push plate along the storage cylinder and transport the medicinal herbs inside.
[0010] Preferably, the protective frame is bolted to the outer wall of one side of the fixed base, and the top of the support base has a material leakage port on the outer wall below the protective frame.
[0011] Preferably, two limiting rods are bolted to the top outer wall of the mounting frame, and the two limiting rods pass through and slide on the top outer wall of the protective frame.
[0012] The above scheme uses the piston rod of the extrusion cylinder to drive the mounting frame and extrusion roller to descend. The extrusion roller extrudes and fixes the Chinese medicinal materials on the protrusion of the storage cylinder. At the same time, the movement of the Chinese medicinal materials drives the extrusion roller to rotate, thus realizing the smooth transportation of the Chinese medicinal materials.
[0013] Preferably, one end of the rotating shaft passes through and is connected to the outer wall of the fixed seat through a bearing, and an installation groove is opened on the outer wall of the rotating shaft. A spline is embedded in the installation groove, and the installation block is slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the spline. One end of the screw passes through and is screwed to the outer wall of the protective plate.
[0014] The above scheme uses the output shaft of the slicing motor to drive the rotating shaft, mounting block and multiple cutters to rotate, and the slicing process is carried out on the Chinese medicinal materials. The screw is rotated, and the screw drives the connecting block and mounting block to move, thereby adjusting the position of the cutter.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] The piston rod of the extrusion cylinder drives the mounting frame and extrusion roller to descend. The extrusion roller extrudes and fixes the Chinese medicinal materials on the protrusion of the storage cylinder. At the same time, the movement of the Chinese medicinal materials drives the extrusion roller to rotate, realizing the smooth transportation of the Chinese medicinal materials. It can extrude and fix the Chinese medicinal materials during slicing, preventing the Chinese medicinal materials from shaking and causing uneven slice thickness, thus improving practicality.
