Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, specifically relating to a slicing machine with controllable slice width for traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology

[0002] A Chinese medicinal herb slicer is a device used to cut Chinese medicinal herbs into slices. It is widely used in Chinese medicine processing enterprises, pharmacies, hospital pharmacies, and other places. It typically uses rotating or reciprocating blades to cut the herbs. A motor drives the blades to move at a certain speed and frequency, cutting the herbs placed at the slicer's inlet into the desired slice shape.

[0003] Most existing slicers require manual control of the cutting angle and thickness of medicinal materials during the slicing process. Manual control is prone to large cutting errors, resulting in materials that are too wide, too narrow, too thick, or too thin. It is impossible to accurately adjust the width of the medicinal materials during slicing, which reduces the quality of the Chinese medicinal materials. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a slicing machine for Chinese medicinal materials with controllable slicing width. By adjusting the angle of the cutting blade, the machine can slice Chinese medicinal materials and maintain a consistent slicing width, thus ensuring the quality of the sliced ​​Chinese medicinal materials.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.

[0024] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a slicing machine for Chinese medicinal materials with controllable slicing width includes a support plate 1. A material trough 2 is formed on the bottom end face of the support plate 1. A horizontal plate 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support plate 1. A mounting plate 4 is provided on one side of the support plate 1. The mounting plate 4 is U-shaped, and a blade 5 is mounted on the inner side of the mounting plate 4. Specifically, two bolts are mounted on the side wall of the mounting plate 4. There are two ways to assemble the blade 5 with the mounting plate 4: one is to directly pass the bolts through holes in the blade 5 for fixing; the other is that if there are no holes in the blade 5, the bolts can be used to directly tighten the blade 5 for fixing. A lifting drive assembly is provided on the side wall of the support plate 1.

[0025] The horizontal plate 3 is L-shaped, and a feeding platform 12 is provided on the right side of the horizontal plate 3. A rubber pad 13 is fixedly connected between the end face of the feeding platform 12 and the horizontal plate 3. The gap between the feeding platform 12 and the horizontal plate 3 is connected by the rubber pad 13, which has good elasticity and can achieve elastic stretching after the angle changes, while preventing leakage of Chinese medicinal materials. A feeding component is provided on the top surface of the feeding platform 12 near the left side, and an angle deflection component is provided on the bottom surface of the horizontal plate 3.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the lifting drive assembly includes a first motor 6 fixedly installed on the left side wall of the support plate 1. The output shaft of the first motor 6 passes through the support plate 1 and is fixedly connected to a cam 7. A support plate 9 is fixedly connected to the right side wall of the support plate 1 below the cam 7. A vertical rod 8 is movably connected to the top surface of the support plate 9. The top end of the vertical rod 8 abuts against the cam 7. The bottom end of the vertical rod 8 passes through the support plate 9 and is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 4. A spring 10 is sleeved between the mounting plate 4 and the support plate 9 on the side wall of the vertical rod 8. The two ends of the spring 10 are fixedly connected to the support plate 9 and the mounting plate 4, respectively.

[0027] The top of the vertical rod 8 is rotatably connected to a movable wheel 11, which abuts against the side wall of the cam 7.

[0028] The cam 7 drives the blade 5 to reciprocate up and down to slice the Chinese medicinal materials. The slicing speed of the blade 5 is controlled by controlling the rotation speed of the first motor 6. The vertical rod 8 is always pressed against the surface of the cam 7 by the force of the spring 10, so as to achieve efficient transmission. The movable wheel 11 can reduce the friction between the vertical rod 8 and the cam 7 and avoid hard friction.

[0029] like Figure 5 As shown, the feeding assembly includes a mounting shell 18 fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the feeding table 12. The top of the mounting shell 18 is open. The inner cavity of the mounting shell 18 is rotatably connected to a feeding roller 19 and a rubber roller 20 from bottom to top. Multiple protrusions are fixedly connected to the surface of the feeding roller 19. A second motor 22 is installed on the front side wall of the mounting shell 18. The output end of the second motor 22 is fixedly connected to the feeding roller 19. Gears 21 are fixedly connected to the rear ends of both the feeding roller 19 and the rubber roller 20. The gears 21 on both sides mesh.

[0030] When conveying Chinese medicinal materials, the materials need to be inserted at an angle perpendicular to the feeding roller 19 so that the cutting angle between the materials and the blade 5 is greater than 90°, thereby achieving the purpose of oblique cutting. In addition, the protrusions on the feeding roller 19 can increase the friction with the materials, and the elastic properties of the rubber roller 20 can be used to elastically compress the materials, ensuring the stability during cutting.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, the angle deflection assembly includes a drive shaft 15 that is fixedly connected to and rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the feeding table 12. The drive shaft 15 passes through the horizontal plate 3 and is fixedly connected to a worm gear 16. A worm 17 is meshed on one side of the worm gear 16. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the feeding table 12. One end of the worm 17 passes through the connecting plate and is fixedly connected to a rotating plate.

[0032] When adjusting the angle of the blade 5 using the worm gear 16 and worm 17, the support plate 1 needs to be deflected as a whole. The bottom surface of the horizontal plate 3 has two arc-shaped grooves, and two support feet are slidably connected in the arc-shaped grooves. The bottom surface of the feeding table 12 is fixedly connected to two support feet. When the horizontal plate 3 is deflected at an angle, the support feet can not only limit the movement but also provide support.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, a cutting groove 14 is provided on the top surface of the horizontal plate 3, and the cutting groove 14 corresponds to the blade 5. The cutting groove 14 can improve the cutting effect and avoid the phenomenon of "broken lotus root with threads" caused by the skin of Chinese medicinal materials not being cut off during cutting.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the left end of the horizontal plate 3 is inclined downwards. This inclined surface design allows the medicinal herbs to quickly slide down and drain after slicing, preventing accumulation.

[0035] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When it is necessary to adjust the slice width of Chinese medicinal materials, the rotating plate can be rotated to drive the worm gear 17 to rotate. The worm gear 17 meshes with the worm wheel 16 and drives the transmission shaft 15 to rotate. The transmission shaft 15 drives the support plate 1 to rotate to a suitable angle through the horizontal plate 3. Then, the first motor 6 and the second motor 22 are started. The output shaft of the second motor 22 drives the feeding roller 19 to rotate. The feeding roller 19 and the rubber roller 20 are driven by the meshing of the gear 21 to achieve reverse rotation. Then, the Chinese medicinal materials are horizontally inserted between the feeding roller 19 and the rubber roller 20 for conveying. When the Chinese medicinal materials enter below the blade 5, the first motor 6 drives the cam 7 to rotate. The cam 7 drives the blade 5 to move up and down reciprocally through the vertical rod 8. After the angle shift, the blade 5 and the medicinal materials are in an inclined slicing position. Thus, when slicing Chinese medicinal materials, the width of the slices can be controlled by the oblique cutting method, which is suitable for different slicing needs.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
