Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine slicing equipment, specifically relating to a device for slicing and processing traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) processing refers to the special processing methods used to prepare medicinal materials before use, aiming to reduce or eliminate toxic side effects, enhance efficacy, alter medicinal properties, and facilitate dispensing. There are numerous methods of TCM processing, mainly categorized as follows: Preparation: purification (picking, scraping, brushing, sieving), pulverization (pounding, grinding, filing), and cutting (slicing, chopping); Water processing: treating medicinal materials with water or other liquid excipients, such as rinsing, soaking, moistening, and spraying; Fire processing: treating medicinal materials with fire, including stir-frying, roasting, calcining, simmering, and baking; and Combined water and fire processing: steaming and boiling. Among these, "cutting" requires the use of a slicing device to slice the raw TCM materials to facilitate subsequent processing.

[0003] When slicing traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction pieces, workers need to push the herbs to slice 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 TCM decoction piece slicing device. 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 tubes 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 tube, and a first support tube is fixed to the top of the support seat. The center points of the first and second support tubes are on the same horizontal line. A slicing slit is provided between the first and second support tubes. A TCM 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 slices are complete, resulting in a lack of continuity and pauses in the process. Therefore, a more continuous and efficient medicinal herb slicing device is needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a device for processing and slicing traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A device for slicing and processing traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces includes a frame; a conveying assembly including a first motor and a horizontal conveyor belt; the horizontal conveyor belt is horizontally mounted on the frame; the output end of the first motor is mechanically connected to the horizontal conveyor belt to drive the horizontal conveyor belt; a slicing assembly including a second motor and a slicing blade; the slicing blade is rotatably mounted on the frame; the blade of the slicing blade is perpendicular to the length direction of the horizontal conveyor belt; the slicing blade is located at the front end of the conveying direction of the horizontal conveyor belt; the output end of the second motor is mechanically connected to the slicing blade to drive the slicing blade to rotate.

[0008] As a further improvement to the technical solution, the conveying assembly also includes an inclined conveyor belt and a support; one end of the support is hinged to the top surface of the horizontal conveyor belt near the slicing blade; the inclined conveyor belt is disposed on the support; the inclined conveyor belt is inclined toward the end of the horizontal conveyor belt near the slicing blade.

[0009] As a further improvement to the technical solution, the conveying assembly also includes a third motor; the third motor is mounted on the frame; the output end of the third motor is mechanically connected to the inclined conveyor belt to drive the inclined conveyor belt.

[0010] As a further improvement to the technical solution, the output end of the third motor is connected to the inclined conveyor belt.

[0011] As a further improvement to the technical solution, the conveying assembly also includes a spring; one end of the spring is connected to the end of the inclined conveyor belt near the slicing blade, and the other end is connected to the end of the horizontal conveyor belt near the slicing blade.

[0012] As a further improvement to the technical solution, the conveying assembly also includes a limiting post; the limiting post is vertically arranged on the horizontal conveyor belt; the limiting post is located inside the spring; the length of the spring is less than the length of the spring; the diameter of the limiting post is less than the inner diameter of the spring.

[0016] When this application is used, the first, second, and third motors are started. The first motor drives the horizontal conveyor belt, the second motor drives the slicing blade to rotate, and the third motor drives the inclined conveyor belt. The Chinese medicine is placed on the end of the horizontal conveyor belt away from the slicing blade. The horizontal conveyor belt moves the Chinese medicine toward the slicing blade. When the Chinese medicine moves to the inclined conveyor belt, it comes into contact with 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 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 and horizontal conveyor belts, as well as the smooth 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.

The first motor 21 drives the horizontal conveyor belt 22, the second motor 31 drives the slicing blade 32 to rotate, and the third motor 25 drives the inclined conveyor belt 23 to run. The Chinese medicine is placed on the end of the horizontal conveyor belt 22 away from the slicing blade 32. The horizontal conveyor belt 22 moves the Chinese medicine toward the slicing blade 32. When the Chinese medicine reaches the inclined conveyor belt 23, it comes into contact with the inclined conveyor belt 23 and lifts the inclined conveyor belt 23. The spring 26 then pulls the inclined conveyor belt 23 back. This prevents the inclined conveyor belt 23 from being pushed open by the Chinese medicine, and at the same time, it clamps the inclined conveyor belt 23 together with the horizontal conveyor belt 22, increasing the friction between the Chinese medicine and the inclined conveyor belt 23, ensuring the smooth transport of the inclined conveyor belt 23 and the horizontal conveyor belt 22, as well as the smooth transport of the Chinese medicine. The Chinese medicine is continuously transported and moved to the front end of the horizontal conveyor belt 22, where it is cut into slices by the high-speed rotating slicing blade 32. During the cutting process, the staff can continuously place Chinese medicine on the horizontal conveyor belt 22 to maintain the continuous transport of the Chinese medicine and the continuity of the cutting of the Chinese medicine.
