Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of Chinese medicinal material processing equipment, and more specifically, it relates to an adjustable Chinese medicinal material slicing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction pieces refer to processed and cut medicinal herbs, typically used in the decoction and consumption of TCM. A TCM decoction piece cutting device is a mechanical device used to cut medicinal herbs into specific shapes and thicknesses, commonly used in the processing and production of TCM materials. Its main function is to cut raw medicinal materials (such as plant roots, stems, leaves, flowers, etc.) into slices or other desired shapes to facilitate subsequent decoction, consumption, and preservation.
[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered the following problems: In the process of using existing Chinese herbal medicine cutting equipment, most of the equipment uses a single cutter head for cutting. In rough processing, a single cutter head may not be able to cut quickly, while in fine processing, it may not be able to provide sufficient precision, which will lead to a decrease in overall processing efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and provided an adjustable Chinese herbal medicine slicing equipment in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose and efficacy of this adjustable Chinese herbal medicine slicing device are achieved through the following specific technical means:
[0006] An adjustable herbal medicine slicing device includes a worktable, a work frame mounted on the top of the worktable, a pair of hydraulic rods mounted on the bottom sides of the top of the work frame, a pair of connecting seats movably mounted on the bottom of the pair of hydraulic rods, a connecting rod movably mounted between the pair of connecting seats, a sliding groove provided on the connecting rod, a pair of top blocks movably mounted on both ends of the sliding groove, a sleeve movably mounted on the periphery of the connecting rod, several slots provided on the circumference of both ends of the inner hole of the sleeve, the top blocks engaging with the slots, several cutting heads equidistantly mounted on the circumference of the sleeve, a placement box mounted on the worktable, an electric push plate mounted on one side of the inner groove of the placement box, and a discharge port on one side of the placement box.
[0007] Furthermore, a mounting groove is provided on one side of the slide groove, and a bidirectional threaded rod is rotatably installed in the mounting groove. A pair of sliders are threaded to both ends of the bidirectional threaded rod. The sliders match the mounting groove and the slide groove. An annular push block is installed on one side of the slider. The annular push block is threaded to the bidirectional threaded rod. One side of the top block is located in the mounting groove and has an inclined surface. One end of the annular push block has an inclined surface that matches the inclined surface of the top block.
[0008] Furthermore, a pair of limiting grooves are provided on both sides of the sliding groove, and a pair of limiting blocks are installed on both sides of the top block. The limiting blocks are slidably connected to the limiting grooves, and a spring is installed on one side of the limiting block. One side of the spring is connected to the limiting groove.
[0009] Furthermore, one end of the bidirectional threaded rod passes through the outside of a connector and is fitted with a knob.
[0010] Furthermore, one end of the connecting rod is provided with a threaded hole, and a locking bolt is installed on one side of one of the connecting seats, with one end of the locking bolt threadedly connected to the threaded hole.
[0011] Furthermore, the slots are provided in three sets, with a pair of slots in each set, and each set of slots corresponds to a cutting head, which includes a serrated blade, a flat blade, and a thin blade.
[0012] Furthermore, the mounting plate on the hydraulic rod is threadedly connected to the mounting plate on the connecting seat via locking screws.
[0013] Furthermore, a material discharge trough is provided on one side of the workbench located on the side where the box is placed. The top of the material discharge trough extends to the outside of the top of the workbench. A collection box is slidably installed in the material discharge trough, and one end of the collection box extends to the outside of the workbench.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] By rotating the knob, the double-threaded rod drives a pair of sliders to move left and right. When the annular pusher on the pair of sliders moves towards the center, the inclined surface of the annular pusher disengages from the inclined surface of the top block. Under the elastic force of the spring, the top block moves towards the mounting groove and disengages from the slot. At this time, the sleeve can be rotated to replace the cutter head corresponding to different materials. When the pair of sliders move to both sides, the inclined surface of the annular pusher presses against the inclined surface of the top block, pushing the top block out of the groove and engaging with the slot on the sleeve. At this time, the sleeve and connecting rod remain fixed, completing the replacement. The operation is simple and convenient. It is easy to change different cutter heads during roughing and finishing, thus improving the overall processing efficiency.
[0016] Serrated blades are used to process medicinal materials with hard outer shells or fibrous structures, such as certain bark and rhizome herbs. Thin-blade blades are used to cut very thin slices of Chinese medicine, such as certain herbs that need to be cut into extremely thin slices. Flat-blade blades are used for general Chinese medicine slicing, especially for harder Chinese herbs. They can provide stable cutting force and are suitable for cutting most Chinese medicinal materials, meeting the processing needs of different materials and improving overall processing efficiency.

[0027] Example:
[0028] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown:
[0029] This utility model provides an adjustable Chinese herbal medicine slicing device, including a workbench 1. A work frame 2 is mounted on the top of the workbench 1. A pair of hydraulic rods 3 are mounted on both sides of the bottom of the top of the work frame 2. A pair of connecting seats 4 are movably mounted on the bottom of the pair of hydraulic rods 3. A connecting rod 10 is movably mounted between the pair of connecting seats 4. A sliding groove 15 is provided on the connecting rod 10. A pair of top blocks 16 are movably mounted on both ends of the sliding groove 15. A sleeve 5 is movably mounted on the periphery of the connecting rod 10. The inner holes of the sleeve 5 are connected at both ends. The sleeve 5 is provided with several slots 17 on its periphery. The top block 16 is engaged with the slots 17. Several cutter heads 6 are installed at equal intervals on the periphery of the sleeve 5. A placement box 7 is installed on the worktable 1. An electric push plate is installed on one side of the inner groove of the placement box 7. A discharge port is provided on one side of the placement box 7. When the top block 16 is disengaged from the slots 17, the sleeve 5 can be rotated. Different cutter heads 6 can be selected for cutting according to different materials, reducing the time for changing cutter heads 6. At the same time, the cutting efficiency is maximized by selecting the appropriate cutter head 6 according to different materials.
[0030] The slide groove 15 has an installation groove 11 on one side, and a bidirectional threaded rod 12 is rotatably installed in the installation groove 11. A pair of sliders 13 are threaded to both ends of the bidirectional threaded rod 12. The sliders 13 match the installation groove 11 and the slide groove 15. An annular push block 14 is installed on one side of the slider 13. The annular push block 14 is threaded to the bidirectional threaded rod 12. One side of the top block 16 is located in the installation groove 11 and has an inclined surface. One end of the annular push block 14 has an inclined surface that matches the inclined surface of the top block 16.
[0031] The slide groove 15 has a pair of limiting grooves 19 on both sides at both ends, and a pair of limiting blocks 20 are installed on both sides of the top block 16. The limiting blocks 20 are slidably connected to the limiting grooves 19. The limiting blocks 20 slide within the limiting grooves 19, causing the top block 16 to move along a vertical path. A spring 23 is installed on one side of the limiting block 20, and one side of the spring 23 is connected to the limiting groove 19. The bidirectional threaded rod 12 drives a pair of sliders 13 to move towards the center. At this time, the annular push block 14 also moves towards the center with the sliders 13. The inclined surface of the annular push block 14 disengages from the inclined surface of the top block 16. Under the elastic force of the spring 23, the top block 16 moves towards the mounting groove 11 and disengages from the slot 17. At this time, rotating the sleeve 5 allows for the replacement of the cutter head 6 with a different material. The bidirectional threaded rod 12 then drives the sliders 13 on both sides to move, pushing the annular pusher 14 to press the inclined surface of the top block 16 against its inclined surface, pushing the top block 16 out of the sliding groove 15 and engaging with the slot 17 on the sleeve 5. At this time, the sleeve 5 and the connecting rod 10 remain fixed, completing the replacement. The operation is simple and convenient. Changing different cutter heads 6 during roughing and finishing improves the overall processing efficiency.
[0032] One end of the bidirectional threaded rod 12 passes through the outside of a connecting seat 4 and is equipped with a knob 18. Rotating the knob 18 makes it easier for technicians to rotate the bidirectional threaded rod 12, thus improving work efficiency.
[0033] One end of the connecting rod 10 is provided with a threaded hole 22, and a locking bolt 21 is installed on one side of the connecting seat 4. One end of the locking bolt 21 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 22. By rotating the locking bolt 21 to disengage it from the threaded hole 22, the sleeve 5 can be replaced, and the cutter head 6 can be replaced and maintained as a whole, which improves the flexibility of use.
[0034] The slots 17 are provided in three sets, with one pair in each set. Each set of slots 17 corresponds to one cutter head 6. The cutter head 6 includes a serrated blade 601, a flat blade 602, and a thin-blade blade 603. The serrated blade 601 is used to process medicinal materials with hard outer shells or fibrous structures, such as certain bark or rhizome medicinal materials. The thin-blade blade 603 is used to cut very thin slices of Chinese medicine, such as certain herbs that need to be cut into extremely thin slices. The flat blade 602 is used for general Chinese medicine slicing, especially for harder Chinese herbs. It can provide stable cutting force and is suitable for cutting most Chinese medicinal materials, meeting the processing needs of different materials and improving the overall processing efficiency.
[0035] The mounting plate on the hydraulic rod 3 is threadedly connected to the mounting plate on the connecting seat 4 by a locking screw. The connecting seat 4 can be disassembled by unscrewing the locking screw, which facilitates the overall maintenance or replacement of the cutter head 6 on the sleeve 5, thus improving its practicality.
[0036] The workbench 1 has a feeding trough 8 on one side of the placement box 7. The top of the feeding trough 8 extends to the outside of the top of the workbench 1. A collection box 9 is slidably installed in the feeding trough 8. One end of the collection box 9 extends to the outside of the workbench 1. The cut Chinese medicinal materials fall into the collection box 9 and are collected in a concentrated manner.
[0037] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:
[0038] First, check the integrity of the device. Only use it after confirming it is intact. When using it, first place the material into the placement box 7. The electric push plate of the placement box 7 pushes it to the discharge port. The hydraulic rod 3 drives the connecting seat 4 to descend, cutting the material. Rotating the knob 18 causes the bidirectional threaded rod 12 to move a pair of sliders 13 left and right. When the annular push block 14 on the pair of sliders 13 moves towards the center, the inclined surface of the annular push block 14 disengages from the inclined surface of the top block 16. Under the elastic force of the spring 23, the top block 16 moves towards the mounting groove 11 and disengages from the slot 17. At this time, the sleeve 5 can be rotated to replace the cutter head 6 corresponding to different materials. When the pair of sliders 13 move to both sides, the inclined surface of the annular push block 14 presses against the inclined surface of the top block 16, pushing the top block 16 out of the sliding groove 15 and the slot on the sleeve 5. The slot 17 engages, at which point the sleeve 5 and connecting rod 10 remain fixed, completing the replacement. The operation is simple and convenient. The serrated blade 601 is used to process medicinal materials with hard outer shells or fibrous structures, such as certain bark and root medicinal materials. The thin-blade blade 603 is used to cut very thin slices of Chinese medicine, such as certain herbs that need to be cut into extremely thin slices. The flat blade 602 is used for general Chinese medicine slicing, especially for harder Chinese herbs. It can provide stable cutting force and is suitable for cutting most Chinese medicinal materials, meeting the processing needs of different materials and improving the overall processing efficiency. The cut Chinese medicinal materials fall into the collection box 9 for centralized collection. This method improves the overall processing efficiency, while also increasing the flexibility and adaptability of use. The overall design of this device is novel and the structure is simple, so it is worth promoting and using widely.
