Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of Chinese medicine slicing equipment, specifically relating to a slicing device for the production of Chinese medicine decoction pieces. Background Technology
[0002] Prepared medicinal herbs are processed Chinese medicinal materials that have undergone processing. These processed herbs can be used directly in clinical practice or in pharmaceutical production. The processing of prepared medicinal herbs includes purification, softening, slicing, drying, and packaging.
[0003] When slicing Chinese medicinal herbs, workers need to push the herbs to cut them, which is inefficient, especially when processing large batches of herbs, resulting in a heavy workload for workers. To address these issues, a utility model patent with publication number CN218927902U discloses a slicing device for producing Chinese medicinal herbs. This device includes a U-shaped support frame. A U-shape is fixed to one side of the top of the U-shaped support frame, and a base plate is fixed to the bottom of the U-shape. A vertical plate is fixed to one side of the top of the base plate. Second support brackets are fixed to both ends inside the vertical plate. A support seat is fixed to the top of the base plate on one side of the second support bracket, and a first support bracket is fixed to the top of the support seat. The center points of the first and second support brackets are on the same horizontal line. A slicing slit is provided between the first and second support brackets. A herb pushing structure is installed at the bottom of the U-shaped support frame via a screw conveyor assembly.
[0004] The aforementioned utility model eliminates the need for manual cutting and transferring of medicinal herbs, significantly reducing the workload for workers. The dual-station cutting capability further enhances the device's slicing efficiency. However, the process involves inserting the herbs into a second feeder, using a lead screw conveyor and pusher to feed and push the herbs. A second motor drives the dual-station cutting structure via a transmission connection. New herbs can only be added after all herbs have been completely sliced, resulting in a lack of continuity and pauses in the process. Therefore, a more continuous slicing device for producing prepared medicinal herbs is needed. Utility Model Content

The first motor drives the horizontal conveyor belt and the inclined conveyor belt to run, and the second motor drives the slicing blade to rotate. The Chinese medicine is placed on the end of the horizontal conveyor belt away from the slicing blade. The horizontal conveyor belt carries the Chinese medicine towards the slicing blade. When the Chinese medicine moves to the inclined conveyor belt, it contacts the inclined conveyor belt and lifts the inclined conveyor belt. The spring pulls the inclined conveyor belt back to prevent the inclined conveyor belt from being completely pushed open by the Chinese medicine. At the same time, the inclined conveyor belt is clamped together with the horizontal conveyor belt, increasing the friction between the Chinese medicine and the inclined conveyor belt, ensuring the conveying of the inclined conveyor belt and the horizontal conveyor belt, as well as the stable transport of the Chinese medicine. The Chinese medicine is continuously conveyed and moves to the front end of the horizontal conveyor belt, where it is cut into slices by the high-speed rotating slicing blade. During the cutting process, the operator can continuously place Chinese medicine on the horizontal conveyor belt to maintain the continuous conveying of the Chinese medicine and the continuity of the cutting of the Chinese medicine.

The output end of the first motor 23 is connected to the horizontal conveyor belt 21 and the inclined conveyor belt 22. The conveyor belt 22 is mechanically connected to drive the horizontal conveyor belt 21 and the inclined conveyor belt 22. The slicing assembly 3 includes a slicing blade 31 and a second motor 32. The slicing blade 31 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1. The blade of the slicing blade 31 is perpendicular to the length direction of the horizontal conveyor belt 21. The slicing blade 31 is located at the front end of the horizontal conveyor belt 21 in the conveying direction. The output end of the second motor 31 is mechanically connected to the slicing blade 31, driving the slicing blade 31 to rotate. When the slicing blade 31 passes the front end of the horizontal conveyor belt 21, the blade edge of the slicing blade 31 faces downward. It should be noted that the connection between the second motor and the slicing blade is a conventional connection. The specific models of the first and second motors are not improvements in this application and will not be elaborated here.
[0030] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, preferably, the conveying assembly 2 further includes a support 24; one end of the support 24 is hinged to the top surface of the horizontal conveyor belt 21 near the slicing blade 31; an inclined conveyor belt 22 is disposed on the support 24, and the support 24 supports one end of the inclined conveyor belt 22; the inclined conveyor belt 22 is inclined downward toward the end of the horizontal conveyor belt 21 near the slicing blade 31, and the inclined conveyor belt 22 and the end of the horizontal conveyor belt 21 near the slicing blade 31 form an opening, from which the Chinese medicine is discharged; preferably, the output end of the first motor 23 is belt driven connected to the end of the inclined conveyor belt 22 away from the slicing blade 31.

[0031] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, preferably, the conveying assembly 2 also includes a spring 25; one end of the spring 25 is connected to the end of the inclined conveyor belt 22 near the slicing knife 31, and the other end is connected to the end of the horizontal conveyor belt 21 near the slicing knife 31; when the Chinese medicine is conveyed to the inclined conveyor belt 22, the Chinese medicine pushes up the inclined conveyor belt 22, and the spring 25 pulls the inclined conveyor belt 22 to prevent the inclined conveyor belt 22 from being pushed up by the Chinese medicine by too much distance, thereby increasing the friction between the Chinese medicine and the inclined conveyor belt 22 to ensure the conveying of the Chinese medicine.
[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, preferably, the conveying assembly 2 further includes a limiting post 26; the limiting post 26 is vertically arranged on the horizontal conveyor belt 22; the limiting post 26 is located inside the spring 25; the length of the spring 25 is less than the length of the spring 25; the diameter of the limiting post 26 is much smaller than the inner diameter of the spring 25, and the limiting post 26 restricts the extension and retraction direction of the spring 25.
[0033] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, preferably, the conveying assembly 2 further includes a drive shaft 27; the drive shaft 27 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1 corresponding to the horizontal conveyor belt 21; the length direction of the drive shaft 27 is consistent with the width direction of the horizontal conveyor belt 21; the first motor 23 is connected to the horizontal conveyor belt 21 through the drive shaft 27; one end of the drive shaft 27 is connected to the output end of the first motor 23 via belt drive or chain drive, and the other end is engaged with the transmission roller gear of the horizontal conveyor belt 21. The rotation direction of the drive shaft 27 is the same as the rotation direction of the first motor 23. Because the drive shaft 27 is engaged with the transmission roller gear of the horizontal conveyor belt 21, the rotation directions of the transmission roller of the horizontal conveyor belt 21 and the drive shaft 27 are opposite, so that the rotation direction of the horizontal conveyor belt 21 is opposite to the rotation direction of the inclined conveyor belt 22. The sides of the horizontal conveyor belt 21 and the inclined conveyor belt 22 that are close to each other have the same conveying direction, and together they convey the Chinese medicine.
[0034] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, preferably, the end of the inclined conveyor belt 22 near the slicing knife 31 is aligned with the end of the horizontal conveyor belt 21 near the slicing knife 31 to stabilize the transport of traditional Chinese medicine.
[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, preferably, the slicing blade 31 includes a wheel body 311 and a cutting blade 312; the output end of the second motor 32 is connected to the wheel body 311, driving the wheel body 311 to rotate; one end of the cutting blade 312 is detachably connected to the wheel body 311 to facilitate replacement of the cutting blade; the cutting blades 312 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the wheel body 311; the cutting blades 312 are perpendicular to the length direction of the horizontal conveyor belt 21; preferably, the frame 1 is also provided with a discharge cover to cover the slicing blade 31.
[0036] Work style:
[0037] In use, the first motor 23 and the second motor 32 are started. The first motor 23 drives the horizontal conveyor belt 21 and the inclined conveyor belt 22 to run, and the second motor 32 drives the slicing blade 31 to rotate. The Chinese medicine is placed on the end of the horizontal conveyor belt 21 away from the slicing blade 31. The horizontal conveyor belt 21 carries the Chinese medicine towards the slicing blade 31. When the Chinese medicine moves to the inclined conveyor belt 22, it contacts the inclined conveyor belt 22 and lifts the inclined conveyor belt 22. The spring 25 pulls the inclined conveyor belt 22 back to prevent the inclined conveyor belt 22 from being completely pushed open by the Chinese medicine. At the same time, the inclined conveyor belt 22 is clamped together with the horizontal conveyor belt 21, increasing the friction between the Chinese medicine and the inclined conveyor belt 22, ensuring the smooth transport of the inclined conveyor belt 22 and the horizontal conveyor belt 21, as well as the smooth transport of the Chinese medicine. The Chinese medicine is continuously transported and moves to the front end of the horizontal conveyor belt 21, where it is cut into slices by the high-speed rotating slicing blade 31. During the cutting process, the staff can continuously put Chinese medicine onto the horizontal conveyor belt 23 to maintain the continuous transport of the Chinese medicine and the continuity of the cutting.
[0038] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
