Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0024] This utility model provides a tracked shaping and kneading machine, including a frame 1, a rolling mechanism, a conveying mechanism, and a driving mechanism. The rolling mechanism, the conveying mechanism, and the driving mechanism are all mounted on the frame 1. The rolling mechanism is located above the conveying mechanism, and there is a rolling channel between the rolling mechanism and the conveying mechanism. The length of the conveying mechanism is greater than the length of the rolling mechanism. The driving mechanism is located below the conveying mechanism, and the driving mechanism and the conveying mechanism are connected through a first transmission structure. The rolling mechanism and the conveying mechanism are connected through a second transmission structure. This utility model provides a tracked shaping and kneading machine. When the drive mechanism starts, it simultaneously drives the crushing mechanism and the conveying mechanism. Then, the operator puts multiple bundles of medicinal materials into the inlet of the crushing channel. Under the operation of the crushing mechanism and the conveying mechanism, the bundles of medicinal materials roll forward along the length of the crushing channel. The crushing mechanism further crushes the bundles of medicinal materials to achieve a kneading effect. Using a machine to knead the medicinal materials reduces the labor intensity of the operator, improves labor efficiency, and reduces harm to the operator. It solves the technical problems of high labor intensity, low labor efficiency, and easy hand injury caused by manual kneading of medicinal materials in the prior art.

[0025] As an optional implementation, the frame 1 includes a main frame, a middle support, and an upper support. The middle support is installed in the middle region of the main frame, and the upper support is located below the top frame on the main frame and connected to the top frame via a shock-absorbing structure 15. The drive mechanism is installed in the lower region of the main frame, the conveying mechanism is connected to the middle support, and the crushing mechanism is connected to the upper support. During the crushing of bundled medicinal materials, the shock-absorbing structure 15 causes the crushing mechanism to move up and down. The shock-absorbing structure 15 includes a screw, a nut, and a spring. The upper end of the screw passes through the top frame and is connected to the nut, and the lower end of the screw passes through the middle support and is connected to the nut. The spring is sleeved on the screw, which is located between the top frame and the middle support. There are at least four shock-absorbing structures 15.

[0026] As an optional implementation, the conveying mechanism includes a main conveying roller 7, a secondary conveying roller 21, a first patterned conveyor belt 6, a support plate 19, and a first tensioning structure 10. The main conveying roller 7 is rotatably connected to the front end of the middle layer support, and the secondary conveying roller 21 is connected to the rear end of the middle layer support through the first tensioning structure 10. The first tensioning structure 10 can adjust the distance between the secondary conveying roller 21 and the main conveying roller 7, thereby adjusting the tension of the first patterned conveyor belt 6. The main conveying roller 7 and the secondary conveying roller 21 are connected through the first patterned conveyor belt 6. The support plate 19 is located between the main conveying roller 7 and the secondary conveying roller 21 and is fixedly connected to the middle layer support. The support plate 19 can support the first patterned conveyor belt 6. The support plate 19 is used to ensure that the first patterned conveyor belt 6 runs in a straight state during operation, so that the medicinal materials are better crushed. The main conveying roller 7 is connected to the crushing mechanism through a second transmission structure, and the main conveying roller 7 is connected to the drive mechanism through a first transmission structure. After the drive mechanism is started, it will drive the main conveyor roller 7 to rotate through the first transmission structure, thereby driving the first patterned conveyor belt 6 to run, and then causing the auxiliary conveyor roller 21 to rotate.

[0027] As an optional implementation, the drive mechanism includes a motor 2, a reducer 4, a V-belt 3, a first pulley, and a second pulley. The first pulley is mounted on the output shaft of the motor 2, and the second pulley is mounted on the input shaft of the reducer 4. The first and second pulleys are connected by V-belts 3, with at least two V-belts 3 used to strengthen the connection between the first and second pulleys. The output shaft of the reducer 4 is connected to the main conveyor roller 7 via a first transmission structure. After the motor 2 starts, it drives the reducer 4 to operate via the V-belts 3. The reducer 4 outputs at a higher speed, thereby driving the main conveyor roller 7 to rotate through the first transmission structure, ensuring sufficient power for the entire device and enabling it to withstand a greater load.

[0028] As an optional implementation, the first transmission structure includes a first sprocket 24, a second sprocket 9, and a first chain 5. The first sprocket 24 is mounted on the output shaft of the reducer 4, and the second sprocket 9 is mounted on the end shaft of the conveying main roller 7. The first sprocket 24 and the second sprocket 9 are connected by the first chain 5. The reducer 4 drives the first sprocket 24 to rotate, which in turn drives the first chain 5 to rotate, and then drives the second sprocket 9 to rotate, thereby causing the conveying main roller 7 to rotate.

[0029] As an optional implementation, the rolling mechanism includes a main rolling roller 14, a secondary rolling roller 20, a second patterned conveyor belt 16, a second tensioning structure 18, and rolling roller assemblies 17. The main rolling roller 14 is rotatably connected to the front end of the upper support, and the secondary rolling roller 20 is connected to the rear end of the upper support through the second tensioning structure 18. The second tensioning structure 18 can adjust the distance between the secondary rolling roller 20 and the main rolling roller 14, thereby adjusting the tension of the second patterned conveyor belt 16. The main rolling roller 14 and the secondary rolling roller 20 are connected through the second patterned conveyor belt 16. There are multiple rolling roller assemblies 17, and all rolling roller assemblies 17 are arranged sequentially between the main rolling roller 14 and the secondary rolling roller 20. The upper end of the rolling roller assembly 17 is connected to the upper support, and the lower end of the rolling roller assembly 17 is in contact with the lower layer of the second patterned conveyor belt 16. The main rolling roller 14 is connected to the main conveyor roller 7 through a second transmission structure. During the rotation of the main conveyor roller 7, the main rolling roller 14 will be driven to rotate through the second transmission structure, thereby driving the second patterned conveyor belt 16 to run, which will then cause the auxiliary rolling roller 20 to rotate. At the same time, during the rotation of the second patterned conveyor belt 16, the rolling roller will be driven to rotate.

[0030] As an optional implementation, the roller assembly 17 includes a connecting frame and a roller. The connecting frame is rotatably connected to the roller and connected to the upper support. The roller contacts the lower layer of the second patterned conveyor belt 16 and the two are in rolling connection. During rotation, the roller further crushes the medicinal materials.

[0031] As an optional implementation, the second transmission structure includes a third sprocket 8, a fourth sprocket 12, and a second chain 11. The third sprocket 8 is mounted on the end shaft of the main conveyor roller 7, and both the third sprocket 8 and the second sprocket 9 are on the same side of the main conveyor roller 7. The fourth sprocket 12 is mounted on the end shaft of the main crushing roller 14. The third sprocket 8 and the fourth sprocket 12 are connected by the second chain 11, and the diameter of the fourth sprocket 12 is larger than the diameter of the third sprocket 8. During the rotation of the main conveyor roller 7, the third sprocket 8 will rotate, which will in turn drive the second chain 11, causing the fourth sprocket 12 to rotate, and thus driving the main crushing roller 14 to rotate. The rotational speed of the third sprocket 8 is greater than the rotational speed of the fourth sprocket 12. The running direction of the upper layer of the first patterned conveyor belt 6 is opposite to the running direction of the lower layer of the second patterned conveyor belt 16, but the running speed of the first patterned conveyor belt 6 is greater than the running speed of the second patterned conveyor belt 16, thereby propelling the medicinal materials forward.

[0032] As an optional implementation, a receiving tray 22 is provided at the rear end of the main frame. The receiving tray 22 is located at the outlet of the crushing channel. After crushing, the medicinal materials will enter the receiving tray 22. Casters 23 are provided at the bottom of the main frame to facilitate the movement of the main frame.

[0033] As an optional implementation, it also includes a control distribution box 13 and a limit switch. The control distribution box 13 and the limit switch are mounted on the frame 1. The limit switch and the drive mechanism are both electrically connected to the control distribution box 13. The control distribution box 13 can control the start and stop of the drive mechanism and its rotation speed. When a relatively large material enters the crushing channel, it will trigger the limit switch, which will transmit a stop signal to the control distribution box 13, thereby controlling the drive mechanism to stop running.

[0034] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
