Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, and more specifically, to a device for uniformly conveying traditional Chinese medicine slices with adjustable spacing. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction pieces are TCM raw materials that have been processed according to TCM theory and processing methods, and can be directly used in TCM clinical practice. Many TCM raw materials need to be processed to exert their maximum medicinal properties. In the process of TCM processing, especially some rod-shaped drugs, they are often cut into slices, so a TCM slicer is needed to slice TCM.
[0003] Currently, when processing Chinese herbal medicines into slices, the raw materials need to be cut into slices using a cutting machine to facilitate subsequent processing and packaging. Existing Chinese herbal medicine slicing machines mainly consist of a cutting platform and a rotating cutting blade. When slicing Chinese herbal medicines, operators need to manually push the herbs to complete the slicing process. Although this method can achieve the slicing work, the distance between the operator's hand and the slicing blade is relatively close when pushing the herbs, which poses a safety hazard and reduces production efficiency for mass-produced Chinese herbal medicine slices.
[0004] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN222945683U discloses a traditional Chinese medicine slicing machine. This machine utilizes a transmission shaft as its core to drive the tool assembly, along with an upper and lower clamping conveyor belt system. The upper and lower clamping conveyor belt system provides a rational, linear transport route. The lower conveyor belt actively feeds the medicine, driving the upper conveyor belt to follow, thus stabilizing the transport process and preventing medicine deviation and uneven slicing. This not only solves the safety hazards of traditional manual medicine feeding and improves production efficiency but also reduces medicine deviation and missed slicing during the slicing process, thus promoting the development of slicing machines.
[0005] In actual use, the above-mentioned Chinese herbal medicine slicer may cause some Chinese herbal medicines, such as Angelica sinensis, to slip or bounce on the conveyor belt during the slicing process due to their smooth surface or irregular shape. This can lead to inaccurate slicing position, uneven slicing, and thus affect the slicing quality. Utility Model Content
[0006] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides an adjustable spacing traditional Chinese medicine slice uniform conveying device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0008] An adjustable spacing Chinese herbal medicine slice uniform conveying device includes a support frame, a conveyor belt installed inside the support frame, a fixed frame fixedly connected to the top of the support frame, support plates fixedly connected to both sides of the support frame, a protective plate fixedly connected to the top of the support frame, a limit component installed inside the fixed frame, and an adjustment mechanism installed outside the support frame.
[0009] The limiting component includes a first cylinder, with a movable frame fixedly connected to the output end of the first cylinder. Multiple connecting frames are fixedly connected inside the movable frame, and a rotating cylinder is rotatably connected inside the connecting frame. Electric push rods are installed on both sides of the movable frame, and a fixed plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod. Two rotating wheels are rotatably connected inside the fixed plate, and multiple anti-slip strips are fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating wheels. The anti-slip strips are made of silicone.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the position of Angelica sinensis can be limited during the processing, reducing slicing errors and thus improving the quality of the slices.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: the adjusting mechanism includes a lead screw, which is rotatably connected to one of the support plates. A first guide cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the other lead screw, and a turntable is fixedly connected to the top of the lead screw. A movable plate is threadedly connected to the outside of the lead screw, and a second cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the movable plate. A cutter is fixedly connected to the output end of the second cylinder. A first sliding column is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate. Multiple scale lines are opened on the outside of the first sliding column. A second guide cylinder is slidably connected to the outside of the first sliding column. A pointer is fixedly connected to one side of the second guide cylinder. The bottom of the second guide cylinder is fixedly connected to one of the support plates. The bottom of the movable plate is fixedly connected to the second sliding column, and the second sliding column is slidably connected to the inside of the first guide cylinder.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the height of the cutter can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, thereby adjusting the slice thickness.
[0013] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. By setting a limiting component, compared with the existing technology, multiple rotating drums press down and fit closely with the Chinese herb Angelica sinensis, so that the Chinese herb Angelica sinensis maintains close contact with the conveyor belt, increases friction, and reduces slippage or jumping of the Chinese herb Angelica sinensis during the conveying process. Two rotating wheels limit the movement of the Chinese herb on the conveyor belt, ensuring that the Chinese herb Angelica sinensis maintains linear movement during the conveying process, reducing displacement and deformation of the Chinese herb during the conveying process, reducing slicing errors, and thus improving slicing quality.
[0015] 2. By setting an adjustment mechanism, compared with the existing technology, the movable plate can be driven to move up and down by rotating the lead screw. This can stably drive the movable plate to adjust the cutter. The distance between the cutter and the conveyor belt can be adjusted by aligning the pointer with the scale line, thereby flexibly adjusting the slice thickness to meet the processing requirements of different medicinal materials for cutting thickness.

[0027] Working principle of this utility model: This utility model designs an adjustable-spacing herbal medicine slice uniform conveying device, the specific structure of which is shown in the attached instruction manual. Figure 1-6As shown, in this technical solution, through the cooperation of various structures, when the spacing between slices of Angelica sinensis needs to be adjusted to a suitable thickness, the turntable 16 is rotated first. The turntable 16 drives the lead screw 14 to rotate, so that the lead screw 14 can drive the movable plate 17 to move up and down through the thread. The scale line 21 is slidably connected to the inner side of the second guide cylinder 22, and the second sliding column 24 is slidably connected to the inner side of the first guide cylinder 15, which can provide guidance for the up and down movement of the movable plate 17.

When the tip of the pointer 23 is aligned with one of the scale lines 21, it is a spacing distance. Then, the Angelica sinensis is placed on the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt 2 is started and can transport the Chinese herb Angelica sinensis to the inside of the fixed frame 3. Then, the first cylinder 6 is started, which pushes the movable frame 7 downward, so that multiple rotating drums 9 come into contact with the Chinese herb Angelica sinensis. Then, two electric push rods 10 are started at the same time, which push the fixed plate 11 to move, so that the two rotating wheels 12 come into contact with the two sides of the Chinese herb Angelica sinensis. The Chinese herb Angelica sinensis can be limited by the multiple rotating drums 9 and the rotating wheels 12, and the rotation of the rotating drums 9 and the rotating wheels 12 can assist in transporting the Chinese herb Angelica sinensis. Then, the second cylinder 18 is started, which pushes the cutter 19 to cut the Chinese herb Angelica sinensis. The conveyor belt 2 can transport the cut Chinese herb Angelica sinensis to the subsequent processing equipment.
