Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, and specifically discloses a Pinellia ternata slicing machine with adjustable thickness. Background Technology
[0002] The Pinellia ternata produced in Xixian County is considered a premium herb among similar medicinal materials and is known as Xixian Pinellia. Pinellia ternata is a common Chinese medicinal herb, but it is also toxic. It is pungent and warm in nature, and its pungent, numbing, and throat-irritating properties cause a "throat-like" sensation. After processing, the toxicity of Pinellia ternata is reduced. Depending on the processing method, Pinellia ternata can be divided into processed Pinellia ternata, ginger-processed Pinellia ternata, and prepared Pinellia ternata. After processing, Pinellia ternata needs to be sliced, but existing Xixian Pinellia ternata slicers produce slices of uniform thickness, making it impossible to control the slice thickness according to actual needs.
[0003] Chinese patent CN212044870U discloses a thickness-adjustable Pinellia ternata slicer, including a support base. The upper surface of the support base has a first groove and a second groove. A slicing stage is located between the first and second grooves. Clamping devices are installed in both the first and second grooves. An adjustable blade holder is located on one side of the slicing stage. The adjustable blade holder includes a fixed column, a handle, and a blade plate. A limiting groove is provided on one side of the fixed column. One end of the handle slides within the limiting groove, and the other end is fixed to the side wall of the blade plate. Multiple blade fixing grooves are evenly distributed on the blade plate, and a slicing blade is installed in each blade fixing groove. The clamping devices can clamp the Pinellia ternata granules to be sliced, facilitating slicing operations. The operator can adjust the blade holder by removing the appropriate number of slicing blades at intervals according to actual needs, thereby controlling the blade distance between adjacent slicing blades and achieving the purpose of controlling the slice thickness. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.
[0004] The aforementioned document discloses a Pinellia ternata slicer with adjustable thickness, which adjusts the slice thickness by installing different numbers of slicer blades. However, the installation and removal of the slicer blades are cumbersome, and the adjustment is inconvenient. Furthermore, the slice thickness cannot be infinitely adjusted, making it impractical.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to aid in understanding its content. Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in this invention are conventional methods; the raw materials and apparatus used, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-3 A thickness-adjustable Pinellia ternata slicing machine includes a base plate 1, a gantry frame 2 fixedly connected to the upper end face of the base plate 1, a feeding mechanism provided on the upper end face of the base plate 1, and a cutting mechanism provided on the outer wall of the gantry frame 2.
[0025] The cutting mechanism includes a first mounting plate 3 located inside the gantry frame 2 and movable up and down. A cutting blade 7 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the first mounting plate 3. Two first sliding rods 4 that are slidably connected to the gantry frame 2 are fixedly connected to the upper end face of the first mounting plate 3. A top plate 5 is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the two first sliding rods 4. An electric push rod 6 with its output end fixedly connected to the top plate 5 is installed on the upper end face of the gantry frame 2.
[0026] The cutting mechanism also includes a second mounting plate 8 disposed on one side of the first mounting plate 3. The outer wall of the second mounting plate 8 is rotatably connected to a threaded rod 9 that is threadedly connected to the first mounting plate 3 via a bearing. A baffle 10 that abuts against the base plate 1 is disposed on the lower side of the second mounting plate 8. Two symmetrically distributed second sliding rods 11 are fixedly connected to the upper end face of the baffle 10. A first limiting plate 12 is fixedly connected to the upper end face of each of the two second sliding rods 11. A first spring 13 located between the second mounting plate 8 and the baffle 10 is sleeved on the outer wall of each of the two second sliding rods 11.
[0027] In this embodiment: The electric actuator 6 is activated, causing the top plate 5 to move up and down. This, in turn, causes the first mounting plate 3 to move up and down via the first sliding rod 4. The first mounting plate 3 further causes the cutting blade 7 to move up and down, slicing the Pinellia ternata. As the first mounting plate 3 moves up and down, it causes the second mounting plate 8 to move up and down via the threaded rod 9 and the limiting rod 14. The second mounting plate 8 uses the first spring 13 to keep the baffle 10 pressed against the bottom plate 1, blocking the Pinellia ternata. Rotating the threaded rod 9 causes the second mounting plate 8 to move away from or closer to the first mounting plate 3, which in turn causes the baffle 10 to move away from or closer to the cutting blade 7. This adjusts the distance between the baffle 10 and the cutting blade 7, thereby adjusting the slice thickness of the Pinellia ternata. This invention allows for stepless adjustment of the slice thickness and is highly practical.
[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the feeding mechanism includes a T-shaped feeding cylinder 15 fixedly connected to the upper end face of the base plate 1. A push rod 16 is slidably connected inside the T-shaped feeding cylinder 15. A push plate 17 is fixedly connected to the side of the push rod 16 near the baffle 10. A second limiting plate 20 is fixedly connected to the other end of the push rod 16. A second spring 18 is sleeved on the outer wall of the push rod 16 between the push plate 17 and the inner wall of the T-shaped feeding cylinder 15.
[0029] In this embodiment: the push rod 16 is pulled to the right by the second limiting plate 20, which in turn drives the push plate 17 to move to the right and compresses the second spring 18, so that the push plate 17 moves to the right side of the discharge port of the T-shaped feed cylinder 15. The Pinellia ternata is placed into the T-shaped feed cylinder 15 through the discharge port. The push rod 16 is released, and the push plate 17 pushes the Pinellia ternata to the left under the elastic force of the second spring 18, so that the Pinellia ternata sticks to the right side of the baffle 10 and is fixed to prevent the Pinellia ternata from shaking when slicing. As slicing is carried out, the Pinellia ternata can be continuously pushed towards the baffle 10 for continuous cutting.
[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the outer wall of the second mounting plate 8 is fixedly connected with two limiting rods 14 that are slidably connected to the first mounting plate 3.
[0031] In this embodiment, the limiting rod 14 facilitates the limiting of the second mounting plate 8, thereby stabilizing the movement of the second mounting plate 8.
[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a scale line is provided on the outer wall of one of the limiting rods 14.
[0033] In this embodiment, the scale lines facilitate precise adjustment of the slice thickness.
[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the upper end surface of the base plate 1 is provided with a cutting groove 19 corresponding to the cutting blade 7.
[0035] In this embodiment, a cutting groove 19 is provided on the upper surface of the base plate 1 to facilitate cutting.
[0036] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the outer wall of the base plate 1 is provided with a feeding groove 21 that communicates with the cutting groove 19.
[0037] In this embodiment: the cut Pinellia ternata slices fall into the feeding trough 21 and are discharged outward under the action of the inclined plane.
[0038] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a controller is provided on the outer wall of the portal frame 2, and the electric push rod 6 is electrically connected to the controller.
[0039] In this embodiment, the controller facilitates the normal operation of the electric actuator 6.
[0040] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, rotate the threaded rod 9. The threaded rod 9 moves the second mounting plate 8 away from or closer to the first mounting plate 3, thereby moving the baffle 10 away from or closer to the cutting blade 7. This adjusts the distance between the baffle 10 and the cutting blade 7, thus adjusting the slice thickness. After adjusting the slice thickness appropriately, pull the push rod 16 to the right through the second limiting plate 20. This moves the push plate 17 to the right and compresses the second spring 18. The push plate 17 moves to the right side of the T-shaped feed cylinder 15's discharge port. Then, place the pinellia into the T-shaped feed cylinder 15 through the discharge port. Release the push rod 16. Under the elastic force of the second spring 18, the push plate 17 pushes the pinellia to the left, causing… The Pinellia ternata is fixed to the right side of the baffle 10. Then, the electric push rod 6 is activated, which drives the top plate 5 to move up and down. In turn, the first sliding rod 4 drives the first mounting plate 3 to move up and down. The first mounting plate 3 further drives the cutting blade 7 to move up and down. When the cutting blade 7 moves downward, it slices the Pinellia ternata. When the first mounting plate 3 moves up and down, it drives the second mounting plate 8 to move up and down through the threaded rod 9 and the limiting rod 14. The second mounting plate 8 keeps the baffle 10 pressed against the bottom plate 1 by the first spring 13 to block the Pinellia ternata. As slicing proceeds, the second spring 18 can continuously push the Pinellia ternata towards the baffle 10 for continuous cutting. This utility model can infinitely adjust the slice thickness and is highly practical.
