Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of chipping technology, and more specifically, to a chipping machine and chipping equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Antelope horn slicing is a traditional Chinese medicine processing technique, mainly used to make thin slices from hard antelope horns.
[0003] In related technologies, operators typically rely on specially made shaving knives to manually slice the antelope horn, producing extremely thin slices for medicinal use or further extraction of active ingredients. While manual shaving of antelope horn, as a traditional process, has advantages in flexibility and precision, its drawbacks are also significant. It is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, requiring entirely manual operation and layer-by-layer cutting, resulting in extremely slow processing speeds that cannot meet the demands of large-scale standardized production; moreover, the knives are highly dangerous, being sharp and posing a safety hazard as even slight carelessness during operation can result in finger cuts. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to at least address some of the deficiencies mentioned in the related technologies, this application provides a chipper and chipping equipment.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a shaving machine for producing antelope horn shavings. The shaving machine includes a housing and a feeding assembly. An installation cavity is formed within the housing, and the installation cavity has an opening communicating with the outside. The shaving assembly is installed within the installation cavity, with its feed inlet facing the opening. The feeding assembly includes a support and a feeding component. The support is located at the opening, and the feeding component is mounted on the support and can slide along the feeding direction of the shaving assembly on the support. The feeding component includes a panel and a feeding pipe. The feeding pipe is located at the center of the panel and is inclined relative to the panel.
[0006] Furthermore, the bracket includes at least two parallel shafts, and a bushing is provided on the side of the panel facing the shafts, the bushing being slidably fitted onto the shafts.
[0007] Furthermore, the bushing has a through hole, and a fixing rod passes through the through hole. The fixing rod can abut against the shaft body to fix the bushing and the shaft body relatively.
[0008] Furthermore, a material discharge bin is provided inside the housing, the material discharge bin is connected to the mounting cavity, and the material discharge bin is located below the mounting cavity in the vertical direction.
[0009] Furthermore, the housing is provided with a discharge port, which is connected to the discharge bin, and a hinge plate is provided on the housing near the discharge port to block the discharge port.
[0010] Furthermore, the panel is horizontally arranged on the bracket, and the included angle between the feeding pipe and the panel is α, satisfying: 30°<α<60°.
[0011] Furthermore, the inner wall of the feeding pipe is provided with flexible limiting members to restrict the position of the material inside the feeding pipe. The flexible limiting members are evenly distributed along the feeding direction of the feeding pipe.
[0012] Furthermore, the flexible limiting member is spirally wound around the inner wall of the feeding pipe along the feeding direction.
[0013] Furthermore, the flexible limiting member is arranged in a ring shape along the inner wall of the feeding pipe, and multiple flexible limiting members are provided inside the feeding pipe.
[0014] This application provides a shaving device, including a power supply and a shaving machine as described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the power supply is used to supply power to the shaving assembly.
[0015] With the above technical solution, when using the shaving machine of this application, the feeding component is moved on the support to the shaving assembly, and the outlet of the feeding pipe is aligned with the inlet of the shaving assembly. The operator feeds the antelope horn from the feeding pipe of the feeding assembly to the shaving assembly, which then shaves the antelope horn into shavings. The feeding pipe is inclined to fit the shape of the antelope horn, making the feeding smoother and ensuring that the antelope horn contacts the shaving assembly at an angle, thus guaranteeing the shaving effect.
[0016] The shaving machine of this application only requires the operator to activate the shaving assembly and feed the antelope horn from the feeding pipe into the housing to complete the shaving. The shaving assembly replaces manual shaving, resulting in faster processing speed and higher efficiency, meeting the needs of large-scale standardized production. Furthermore, the operator does not need to directly contact the cutting tool during shaving, eliminating the risk of injury and enhancing safety.

[0028] This embodiment provides a shaving machine to solve the problems in related technologies, such as slow shaving speed, low efficiency, and easy finger injury to operators.
[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment provides a shaving machine for producing antelope horn shavings. The shaving machine includes a housing 100 and a feeding assembly 200. A mounting cavity 110 is formed within the housing 100, and the mounting cavity 110 has an opening communicating with the outside. The shaving assembly is installed within the mounting cavity 110, with its feed inlet facing the opening. The feeding assembly 200 includes a support 210 and a feeding element 220. The support 210 is located at the opening, and the feeding element 220 is mounted on the support 210 and can slide along the feeding direction of the shaving assembly on the support 210. The feeding element 220 includes a panel 221 and a feeding pipe 222. The feeding pipe 222 is located at the center of the panel 221 and is inclined relative to the panel 221.
[0030] Specifically, when using the shaving machine of this embodiment, the feeding component 220 is first moved along the support 210 to a position close to the shaving assembly, so that the outlet of the feeding pipe 222 corresponds to the inlet of the shaving assembly. After the movement is completed, the operator feeds the antelope horn to be shaving into the shaving assembly through the feeding pipe 222, where the shaving assembly shaves it.
[0031] In this embodiment, the operator does not need to directly contact the blade when shaving the antelope horn, and the shaving process will not cause injury to the operator, ensuring high safety. Furthermore, using a shaving assembly instead of traditional manual operation to shave the antelope horn results in faster shaving speed, higher efficiency, and better consistency of the finished shavings, improving both production speed and product quality. Moreover, the inclined feeding pipe 222 in this embodiment is adapted to the shape of the antelope horn, making it easier to insert the horn into the feeding pipe 222, and the inclined contact between the horn and the shaving assembly also facilitates shaving.
[0032] In this embodiment, the shaving component can be set as any existing hand - pushed shaving machine or other suitable shaving machines, and be adaptively installed in the housing 100, as long as it can meet the shaving requirements of this embodiment. Exemplarily, the shaving component can include a frame, a feeding port, a cutting member, a discharging port, a power system, a control system, and a safety protection facility. Among them, the frame is used to support the framework of the whole machine, usually made of strong metal materials, providing an installation basis for other components, and also installing the shaving component in the installation cavity 110 of this embodiment through the frame. When shaving the antelope horn in this embodiment, the antelope horn is first sent from the feeding pipeline 222 to the feeding port of the shaving component, and after being cut by the cutting member, such as a cutter head, a cutter shaft, etc., it falls into the installation cavity from the discharging port of the shaving component to complete the shaving action.
[0033] The power system of the shaving component can be set as an electric motor, providing a power source for the cutting member. The transmission device supporting the electric motor, such as including pulleys, chains, gearboxes, etc., is responsible for transmitting the power of the electric motor to the cutter head or other parts that need to be driven. The control system of the shaving component includes start - stop buttons, emergency braking devices, etc., used to adjust operation parameters such as speed, feeding amount, etc. The safety protection facilities of the shaving component, such as emergency stop buttons, overload protection, guardrails, etc., ensure the safety of the operators.
[0034] In one embodiment, exemplarily, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, the bracket 210 includes at least two parallel - arranged shaft bodies 211. On one side of the panel 221 facing the shaft bodies 211, there are shaft sleeves, and the shaft sleeves are slidably sleeved on the shaft bodies 211. Using at least two parallel shaft bodies 211 as sliding guides provides multi - point support and guidance for the feeding member 220, effectively preventing the panel 221 from shaking, shifting, or jamming during the sliding process. Compared with a single - shaft or asymmetric structure, the double - shaft or multi - shaft parallel design can significantly improve the motion stability, ensuring that the outlet of the feeding pipeline 222 always accurately aligns with the feeding port of the shaving component.
[0035] The shaft sleeves are slidably sleeved on the shaft bodies 211, forming a sliding pair. By controlling the sliding clearance, looseness can be reduced, and the repeat positioning accuracy can be improved. Ensure that each time when feeding, the antelope horn can enter the shaving component at a consistent angle and position, improving the consistency and quality of the shaving products.
[0036] In one embodiment, exemplarily, as Figures 1 to 3As shown, a through hole is provided on the bushing, and a fixing rod 223 passes through the through hole. The fixing rod 223 can abut against the shaft body 211 to fix the bushing and the shaft body 211. When the operator puts the antelope horn into the feeding pipe 222 or adjusts the equipment, if there is no fixation between the bushing and the shaft body 211, the feeding component 220 may accidentally slide or retract due to its own weight or external force, affecting operation or even causing safety hazards. By inserting the fixing rod 223 to abut against the shaft body 211, the bushing and the entire feeding component 220 can be locked in the current position, preventing them from moving when not in operation and improving safety.
[0037] The fixing rod 223 precisely locks the feeding component 220 in a preset position, such as the optimal feeding position near the feed inlet of the shaving assembly. This ensures that the antelope horn can enter the shaving assembly at the same angle and depth each time it is shaving, thereby improving the thickness uniformity and quality consistency of the finished shavings.
[0038] As can be imagined, multiple through holes can be set on the bushing along the sliding direction, which, together with the fixing rod 223, can realize multi-level position adjustment and locking. For antelope horns of different lengths or shapes, different locking positions can be selected, and the feeding stroke and feeding angle can be flexibly adjusted to improve the versatility of the equipment.
[0039] In one embodiment, exemplarily, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a material discharge bin 120 is provided inside the housing 100. The material discharge bin 120 is connected to the mounting cavity 110, and is located vertically below the mounting cavity 110. After the shaving assembly completes the shaving, the cut antelope horn slices automatically fall from the mounting cavity 110 into the material discharge bin 120 below under the action of gravity, achieving automatic collection. The operator can focus on feeding and operation without interrupting the operation to retrieve the finished product, supporting continuous and efficient production, which is particularly suitable for batch processing scenarios like this embodiment. It avoids the need for the operator to frequently receive or clean materials during the shaving process, greatly improving work efficiency.
[0040] The feeding hopper 120 is located inside the housing 100, which centrally stores the finished shavings in a closed space, preventing the shavings from scattering or accumulating on the equipment surface or the ground, and maintaining a clean and orderly operating environment. The closed feeding hopper 120 can effectively prevent dust and foreign objects from entering, ensuring the cleanliness of the antelope horn shavings and the quality of the medicine.
[0041] In one embodiment, exemplarily, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the housing 100 is provided with a discharge port, which communicates with the discharge bin 120. A hinge plate 130 is provided on the housing 100 near the discharge port to seal it. The hinge plate 130 can tightly seal the discharge port, preventing dust, moisture, foreign objects, etc. from entering the discharge bin 120 when not discharging, thus avoiding moisture, contamination, or impurities from entering the antelope horn planer blades. Of course, in actual use, a sealing ring or other sealing element can be provided at the junction of the hinge plate 130 and the housing 100 as needed to ensure the sealing effect of the hinge plate 130.
[0042] If the discharge port is not closed during equipment operation or movement, the shaved tablets may slide out due to vibration or tilting. The hinge plate 130 can effectively lock the finished product, ensuring that it is only removed when needed. When the hinge plate 130 is opened, the interior of the discharge bin 120 is fully exposed, which also facilitates the operator to clean up the shavings, check for residues, or disinfect the equipment, thus improving the level of hygiene management.
[0043] In this embodiment, the mounting cavity 110 is connected to the discharge bin 120. That is to say, when maintenance is required in this embodiment, the blade assembly can be maintained from the discharge port after the blades have been completely removed and cleaned. The operating space is spacious and the operation is convenient.
[0044] In one embodiment, exemplarily, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, panel 221 is horizontally mounted on bracket 210, and the angle between the feeding pipe 222 and panel 221 is α, satisfying: 30° < α < 60°. Antelope horns are typically slender cylindrical or conical. If fed vertically, the contact area between the antelope horn and the planer assembly is small, making effective planing difficult. If the angle is too small, approaching horizontal, the antelope horn can easily slip out of the pipe due to its own weight or vibration. If the angle is too large, approaching vertical, it is difficult to apply a stable pushing force. In this embodiment, an inclination angle of 30° to 60° is set so that the antelope horn contacts the planer blade at an angle, reducing initial resistance, making it easier to lift and break the planer blade, and improving the success rate of planing.
[0045] Furthermore, for the operator, within the range of 30° to 60°, the angle at which the operator holds the antelope horn and inserts it is close to the natural ergonomic posture, and the wrist does not need to bend or raise excessively, making the operation more effortless and stable.
[0046] In this embodiment, the angle range is well adaptable to antelope horns of different specifications. A small-angle inclined feeding pipe 222 is suitable for longer, heavier antelope horns, while a large-angle inclined feeding pipe 222 is suitable for shorter, thinner medicinal materials. The position of the feeding component 220 can be adjusted flexibly to adapt to different needs, improving the equipment's versatility.
[0047] In one embodiment, exemplarily, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the inner wall of the feeding pipe 222 is provided with flexible limiting members 224 to restrict the position of the material within the feeding pipe 222. The flexible limiting members 224 are evenly distributed along the feeding direction of the feeding pipe 222. Medicinal materials such as antelope horns are typically irregularly cylindrical with smooth surfaces, making them prone to rolling, eccentricity, or shaking due to vibration or gravity during inclined feeding. The flexible limiting members 224 gently conform to the material surface, restricting its lateral movement within the feeding pipe 222 and ensuring it always approaches the planer assembly in a stable posture, improving feeding consistency. The evenly distributed flexible limiting members 224 also maintain the preset tilt angle when the antelope horn contacts the planer blade, preventing uneven cutting, inconsistent thickness, or failed planing due to deflection.
[0048] During equipment start-up, shutdown, vibration, or operational breaks, medicinal materials may slide down the inclined pipe due to their own weight. The flexible limiting component 224 provides moderate frictional resistance, forming an anti-slip stop point, effectively preventing the material from slipping off unintentionally, ensuring operational safety and process controllability.
[0049] Furthermore, the evenly distributed flexible limiting members 224 can absorb the impact energy during the feeding process, reduce hard collisions between the medicinal materials and the pipe, lower equipment operating noise, and protect the end face of the medicinal materials from damage. Moreover, even slightly curved or irregularly shaped antelope horns can be adaptively clamped and positioned by the flexible limiting members 224, allowing the slicing machine of this embodiment to adapt to different specifications of antelope horns without frequently changing the feeding pipe 222 when slicing antelope horns of different specifications.
[0050] Of course, in this embodiment, the material of the flexible limiting member 224 is not limited. Materials with good elastic deformation capabilities, such as silicone, rubber, and TPU, are all acceptable, as long as they will not damage the antelope horn and meet the requirements of this embodiment.
[0051] In one embodiment, exemplarily, such as Figure 4 As shown, the flexible limiting component 224 is spirally wound around the inner wall of the feeding pipe 222 along the feeding direction. The spirally wound flexible limiting component 224 forms a continuous spiral guide rail, achieving uninterrupted contact and limiting of medicinal materials such as antelope horn throughout the entire process, significantly improving the stability and consistency of feeding. The continuous spiral structure makes the force on the medicinal materials more uniform and the transition smoother during the advancement process, avoiding the "stepping sensation" or jumping caused by passing through multiple independent limiting points, and reducing equipment vibration and noise.
[0052] The spiral structure provides an additional frictional resistance path for the material. When the herb attempts to move backward due to gravity or inertia, the spiral limiting component applies a frictional force opposite to the direction of movement, making it difficult for the herb to slide backward without sufficient external force. Preventing the herb from sliding backward not only protects the herb itself from damage but also avoids internal equipment malfunctions or mechanical component damage caused by the herb suddenly sliding out, extending equipment lifespan and reducing maintenance costs.
[0053] In one embodiment, for example, the flexible limiting member 224 is arranged in an annular shape along the inner wall of the feeding pipe 222, and multiple flexible limiting members 224 are provided within the feeding pipe 222. Each annular flexible limiting member 224 is equivalent to an elastic retaining ring. When the medicinal material attempts to slide backward under the action of gravity or vibration, it must overcome the elastic deformation resistance of multiple annular limiting members in sequence. This increases the difficulty of the medicinal material moving backward and achieves a reliable anti-dislodgement function, which is especially suitable for feeding pipes 222 with a large inclination angle.
[0054] The annular limiting component surrounds the inner wall, applying a uniform radial clamping force to the antelope horn, preventing it from deflecting or getting stuck during sliding, ensuring that it always moves forward in the center, reducing the risk of local stress concentration and slippage caused by eccentricity, and ensuring the stability of the antelope horn's posture.
[0055] Multiple annular limiting components divide the feeding path into several stable segments, each of which is independently limited, effectively suppressing the swaying or jumping of medicinal materials during long-distance transportation and improving the overall feeding stability.
[0056] This embodiment also provides a shaving device, including a power supply and a shaving machine as described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the power supply is used to supply power to the shaving assembly.
[0057] The shaving equipment in this embodiment includes the shaving machine in any of the above embodiments, and thus possesses all the beneficial effects of the shaving machine, which will not be elaborated further here.
[0058] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.
[0059] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
