Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of slicing machine technology, and in particular relates to an adjustable continuous slicing machine for Chinese herbal medicine slices. Background Technology

[0002] Slicing Chinese medicinal materials refers to the process of processing dried roots, stems, leaves, fruits, and other raw medicinal materials into slices or segments of specific thickness and shape (such as thin slices, thick slices, oblique slices, segments, blocks, etc.) according to their characteristics and medicinal needs, using specialized tools or machinery. The aim is to increase the contact area between the medicinal materials and the solvent, facilitate the extraction of active ingredients, aid in drying and preservation, standardize specifications for convenient formulation, and improve the utilization efficiency of the medicinal materials. This is one of the key steps in the processing and pretreatment of Chinese medicinal materials for preparation.

[0003] Slicing devices come in single-blade and multi-blade types. Single-blade slicers are easy to adjust but have poor efficiency. Multi-blade slicers are more efficient, but when adjusting the slice thickness, each blade needs to be adjusted sequentially via a threaded method. Because the adjustment is done in multiple steps, the consistency after adjustment is poor. In addition, the ease of operation needs to be improved.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes an adjustable continuous slicing machine for Chinese medicinal herbs. Utility Model Content

[0031] Specifically, when the locking plate 51 is rotated to engage with the locking groove 421, the adjusting rod 42 cannot slide in the guide sleeve 31, and the blade 4 and the cutter head 3 are fixed in position; when the locking plate 51 is rotated to disengage from the locking groove 421, the blade 4 can continue to be adjusted. By setting the locking groove 421 on each adjusting rod 42, the structural reliability of adjustment and locking can be ensured.

[0032] Furthermore, each blade 4 is fixed with at least two adjusting rods 42. The other ends of all the adjusting rods 42 on the blade 4 are fixedly connected by a linkage frame 41. The linkage frame 41 is located at the end of the cutter head 3 away from the blade 4. In this embodiment, the two adjusting rods 42 ensure the structural stability of the blade 4 on the cutter head 3, while the linkage frame 41 connects all the blades to facilitate adjustment.

[0033] Furthermore, the locking plate 51 has multiple circumferentially arranged locking grooves 421 on the locking disc 5, which respectively cooperate with the locking grooves 4 on the blades 4 at different positions. In this embodiment, the locking plate 51 is linked under the action of the locking disc 5 and cooperates with multiple locking grooves 421 at the same time, which can realize the synchronous adjustment and locking of multiple blades 4, ensuring the consistency and convenience of adjustment.

[0034] Furthermore, multiple side baffles 53 are fixed circumferentially on the side of the cutter head 3 near the locking disc 5.
