Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of kudzu root dicing device, and in particular to a kudzu root dicing device. Background Technology
[0002] Kudzu root is a traditional Chinese medicine, the dried root of the kudzu plant (Pueraria lobata), commonly known as wild kudzu. It is harvested in autumn and winter, cut into thick slices or small pieces while fresh, and then dried. It has the functions of relieving muscle tension and reducing fever, promoting rash eruption, generating fluids and quenching thirst, and raising yang and stopping diarrhea. It is often used for fever due to external pathogens, stiff neck and back pain, incomplete measles eruption, thirst due to febrile diseases, thirst due to yin deficiency, diarrhea and dysentery due to heat, and diarrhea due to spleen deficiency.
[0003] Currently, most kudzu root dicing is done manually, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and increases production costs. Although there are some kudzu root dicing machines on the market, the existing dicing machines have poor cutting efficiency. After dicing the kudzu root in the box, the diced kudzu root needs to be poured into the storage box. During this process, the cutting device needs to be turned off, resulting in low cutting continuity and poor continuity in the feeding and unloading process. Utility Model Content

The upper end of the base 1, located between the first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22, is equipped with a fixed frame 7. The upper end of the fixed frame 7 is equipped with a cutting assembly 8, which includes a cylinder 81 located on the upper end of the fixed frame 7. The extended end of the cylinder 81 is equipped with a connecting plate 83. The lower side of the fixed frame 7 is equipped with a connecting rod 84, and the lower end of the connecting rod 84 is equipped with a second pressure sensor 85.
[0025] The output end of the first motor 23 is connected to the second transmission belt 22. The second transmission belt 22 is driven by the power provided by the first motor 23. A second sprocket 25 is provided at the end of the second transmission belt 22 away from the first motor 23. A first sprocket 24 is provided at one end of the outer wall of the first transmission belt 21. A chain 26 is wound around the outer walls of the first sprocket 24 and the second sprocket 25. The first sprocket 24 and the second sprocket 25 are connected by the chain 26.
[0026] The outer wall of the front end of the placement box 3 is hinged with a box door 4. The base 1 is fixed with a feeding plate 9 on the side near the first conveyor belt 21. The feeding plate 9 is inclined downward and a railing 10 is fixed on the upper end of the feeding plate 9.
[0027] Gear 62 and toothed plate 63 mesh with each other. Toothed plate 63 moves through guide rail 5. Guide rail 5 has a through hole that matches toothed plate 63. The inner wall of the through hole is provided with a slider. The outer wall of toothed plate 63 has a groove that matches the slider.
[0028] The lower end of the connecting plate 83 is provided with a cutting blade, and the fixing bracket 7 is located at both ends of the cylinder 81 and has a sliding rod 82 inserted movably. The lower end of the sliding rod 82 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 83.
[0029] A PLC controller 11 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the base 1. The first motor 23, the second motor 61, the cutting assembly 8, the first pressure sensor 64, and the second pressure sensor 85 are all electrically connected to the PLC controller 11.
[0030] The outer wall of the placement box 3 and the inner walls of the two sets of guide rails 5 are fitted together.
[0031] Place the kudzu root to be cut into the placement box 3, start the first motor 23 to drive the second conveyor belt 22 to rotate, the second conveyor belt 22 drives the second sprocket 25 to rotate, the second sprocket 25 drives the first sprocket 24 to rotate via the chain 26, the first sprocket 24 drives the first conveyor belt 21 to rotate, so the first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22 rotate synchronously. The second conveyor belt 22 moves the placement box 3 towards the lower end of the connecting plate 83. When the placement box 3 moves to the upper end between the first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22, the placement box 3 touches the first pressure sensor 64, and the toothed plate 63 intercepts the placement box 3. Force sensor 64 receives pressure from the placement box 3. The first pressure sensor 64 transmits the received signal to the PLC controller 11. The PLC controller 11 controls the first motor 23 to shut down. At this time, the placement box 3 just moves to the lower end of the connecting plate 83. Then, the PLC controller 11 controls the cylinder 81 to perform a periodic extension and retraction. The cylinder 81 drives the connecting plate 83 to move downward. The cutting blade at the lower end of the connecting plate 83 enters the placement box 3 to dice the kudzu root in the placement box 3. After dicing, the cylinder 81 retracts, and the connecting plate 83 moves upward until the connecting plate 83 contacts the second pressure sensor 85. When the second pressure sensor 85 receives pressure... When pressure is applied, a signal is transmitted to the PLC controller 11. The PLC controller 11 controls the cylinder 81 to close and starts the second motor 61. The second motor 61 drives the gear 62 to rotate, and the gear 62 drives the toothed plate 63 to slide along the perforation in the guide rail 5 until the first pressure sensor 64 enters the perforation. At the same time, the toothed plate 63 releases its obstruction of the placement box 3. At this point, the first pressure sensor 64 does not sense pressure and transmits a signal to the PLC controller 11. The PLC controller 11 then controls the first motor 23 to start, and the first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22 start again. The placement box 3 is moved towards the feeding plate 9, and then the placement box 3 moves downward along the inclined surface of the feeding plate 9 until it is intercepted by the railing 10. Under the action of gravity, the box door 4 rotates downward and opens, and the kudzu root inside the placement box 3 falls out of the placement box 3 through the opening at the box door 4, making it convenient for the staff to collect it. After the kudzu root inside the placement box 3 falls out, the staff puts the placement box 3 back to the initial transport end of the second conveyor belt 22 and repeats the above process. The staff can put the placement box 3 back for material loading during the cutting process, which improves the continuity of cutting and increases the cutting rate of kudzu.
