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 slicing traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) refers to drugs that are collected, processed, and prepared according to the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theory, with explanations of their mechanisms of action and guidance for clinical application. The main sources of TCM are natural drugs and their processed products, including plant-based drugs, animal-based drugs, mineral-based drugs, and some chemical and biological products, with plant-based drugs being the most numerous. For common tuberous TCM materials, slicing is required during the processing of raw materials.
[0003] A search revealed an existing patent (publication number: CN217256476U) that discloses a slicing device for Chinese medicinal materials. In its operation, a drive motor rotates a gear, causing a rack and a placement plate to move on a base. A reduction motor drives a cam to rotate, causing the blade to reciprocate up and down. This ensures that the slicing time and the distance the medicinal material travels are the same each time, resulting in more uniform slices. Bolts fix the blade in a slot within the base, and fixing blocks on both sides of the blade limit its movement, preventing slippage and ensuring slice quality. However, the inventors discovered the following problem with the existing technology during the development of this invention: After slicing the medicinal materials, the slices are randomly piled on one side of the blade. This causes some slices to fall back under the blade, resulting in secondary cutting and breakage, affecting the quality of the slices.
[0004] In view of this, the present invention proposes a slicing device for Chinese medicinal materials to solve this problem. Utility Model Content
