Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, and in particular to a slicing device for traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, the processing of medicinal herbs, especially slicing, is a crucial step in ensuring the full efficacy of the herbs, facilitating patient use, and aiding in decoction. Traditionally, slicing medicinal herbs has relied heavily on manual labor. This method is not only inefficient and labor-intensive, but also makes it difficult to guarantee the uniformity and standardization of the slices, thus affecting the effectiveness of decoction and the final therapeutic outcome.

[0003] With the advancement of the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine, automation and mechanization are increasingly being applied in the processing of Chinese medicinal materials. However, in the field of Chinese medicinal material slicing, although some slicing equipment has been developed, most existing slicing devices rely on manual or semi-automatic methods to feed the herbs into the slicing area. This method not only increases the labor intensity of operators and reduces production efficiency, but also makes it difficult to control the accuracy and consistency of slicing due to human factors. In addition, manual feeding of herbs may damage them due to uneven speed or improper force, affecting the quality of the slices.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a precise slicing device for transporting Chinese medicinal materials. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing Chinese medicinal herb slicing devices, which require manual pushing of medicinal materials, resulting in high labor intensity and difficulty in controlling slicing accuracy, this utility model aims to provide a Chinese medicinal herb slicing device.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] Example 1: A slicing device for traditional Chinese medicinal materials, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the device includes a base 1, a mounting platform 2, guide frames 3, a tray 4, a clamping plate 41, bolts 42, a first spring 44, a protective shell 7, an electric cutting blade 71, and a conveying and resetting mechanism. The base 1 is symmetrically mounted on the front side of the mounting platform 2. Guide frames 3 are mounted on both sides of the mounting platform 2. Each guide frame 3 has a guide rod inside, and the tray 4 is slidably connected to both guide rods. A first spring 44 is fitted onto each of the two guide rods. The rear end of the first spring 44 is connected to the guide frame 3, and the front end is connected to the tray 4. The first spring 44 is a compression spring. When subjected to an external load, the compression spring will compress, shorten, and absorb a large amount of potential force, thereby storing mechanical energy. After the stored energy decreases or the load is removed, the spring will be forced to return to its original length and shape, releasing the stored energy. The stored energy drives the tray 4 to reset. A bolt 42 is rotatably installed on the right end of the tray 4, and a short guide rod is installed on the left end of the tray 4. A clamping plate 41 is slidably installed on the short guide rod. The right end of the clamping plate 41 is threadedly connected to the bolt 42. A protective shell 7 is installed at the rear end of the installation platform 2. An electric cutting blade 71 is rotatably installed inside the protective shell 7. The thickness of the slice can be adjusted as needed by the electric cutting blade 71 to achieve uniformity of the slice and avoid uneven thickness. Automated slicing greatly improves work efficiency and reduces the time and labor intensity of manual operation. A conveying and resetting mechanism is installed on the installation platform 2. The conveying and resetting mechanism can continuously and stably push the Chinese medicinal materials to move on the platform, reducing the reliance on manual operation and improving the automation level of the production line.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the conveying and resetting mechanism includes: a motor 5, a pulley assembly 51, a first threaded rod 6, a guide block 61, a push rod 62, a locking block 63, a second spring 64, and a compression sleeve 65. The motor 5 is located at the lower front end of the mounting platform 2, and the motor 5 is connected to the pulley assembly 51 via a coupling. The first threaded rod 6 is rotatably mounted on the mounting platform 2, and its front end is connected to the pulley assembly 51. A small guide rod is mounted at the bottom of the support plate 4, and a locking block 63 is slidably mounted on the small guide rod. The upper sleeve is equipped with a second spring 64, the rear end of which is connected to the support plate 4 and the front end is connected to the locking block 63. An L-shaped push rod 62 is connected to the right side of the locking block 63. A guide block 61 is slidably provided at the bottom of the support plate 4. A slot is opened on the rear side of the guide block 61, and the slot is movably engaged with the locking block 63. A compression sleeve 65 is provided at the rear end of the first threaded rod 6. The guide block 61 slides upward under the compression sleeve 65. The bottom of the guide block 61 is bead-shaped, and the bead part is located inside the threaded slide of the first threaded rod 6.

[0024] When it is necessary to slice the Chinese medicinal herbs, the herbs are neatly arranged between the clamping plate 41 and the support plate 4. The bolt 42 is rotated, causing the clamping plate 41 to move downwards along the thread, clamping the herbs to ensure they are evenly and stably clamped. Then, the motor 5 is started. The motor 5 drives the first threaded rod 6 to rotate via the pulley set 51, causing the guide block 61 to move along the thread of the first threaded rod 6 via the bottom ball, thus slowly moving the support plate 4 and the herbs on it. Simultaneously, the electric cutting blade 71 is activated to evenly slice the slowly moving herbs. After the Chinese medicinal materials on the tray 4 are sliced, the guide block 61 comes into contact with the compression sleeve 65 and is squeezed upward. The locking block 63 moves under the action of the second spring 64 and inserts into the slot on the guide block 61, thereby fixing the guide block 61. The motor 5 stops, and after the ball on the guide block 61 moves away from the threaded slide of the first threaded rod 6, the tray 4 returns to its end under the action of the first spring 44. The push rod 62 is forced to make the locking block 63 slide and separate from the slot on the guide block 61. The guide block 61 slides downward and resets under the action of gravity, and the bottom ball returns to the threaded slide of the first threaded rod 6.

[0025] Example 2: Based on Example 1, such as Figure 2 As shown, it also includes: a cylinder bracket 8, a small cylinder 81, and a push plate 82. The cylinder bracket 8 is provided on the front side of the support plate 4, and the small cylinder 81 is installed on the cylinder bracket 8. The push plate 82 is provided on the rear side of the small cylinder 81 through a piston. The push plate 82 is moved by the small cylinder 81, which can push out the remaining Chinese medicinal materials between the clamping plate 41 and the support plate 4 for slicing. This avoids the Chinese medicinal materials that cannot be pushed out in time and remain on the support plate 4, resulting in incomplete slicing or waste. It ensures that all Chinese medicinal materials are pushed out in time and sliced, thereby ensuring the integrity and utilization rate of the slices.

[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes: triangular rubber blocks 43, limiting plates 72, second threaded rods 73, and guide plates 74. Multiple triangular rubber blocks 43 are attached to both the clamping plate 41 and the support plate 4. The surface of the rubber material can increase the friction between the medicinal materials and the herbs, making the herbs more stable during processing and less prone to slipping or shifting. Through the uniform distribution of clamping force, the triangular rubber blocks 43 help maintain the original shape of the herbs during processing, ensuring the accuracy of operations such as slicing and grinding. The upper part of the protective shell 7 is rotatably equipped with a second threaded rod 73, and the bottom of the second threaded rod 73 is connected to the limiting plate 72. The rear end of the protective shell 7 is equipped with a guide plate 74, which can guide the sliced ​​herbs to slide down in a certain direction and path, thereby ensuring that all slices are collected in a predetermined position, avoiding the scattering and disorder of the herbs during processing, and improving collection efficiency.

[0027] When slicing Chinese medicinal materials, rotating the second threaded rod 73 to a suitable height will move the limiting plate 72 to limit and press the Chinese medicinal materials. This ensures that the Chinese medicinal materials maintain a stable position and shape during the slicing process, reducing problems such as uneven slicing and inconsistent thickness caused by shaking or displacement. This helps to improve the accuracy and consistency of slicing, ensuring the quality of each slice of medicinal material. In addition, the triangular rubber block 43 can protect the pad, improve the clamping stability, and reduce the direct contact between the clamping plate 41 and the support plate 4 and the surface of the Chinese medicinal materials, thereby avoiding scratches, indentations and other damage.

[0028] The above-described embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications, improvements, and substitutions without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be determined by the appended claims.
