Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Buddha's Hand slicing technology, and in particular to an automated feeding device for Buddha's Hand slicing mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Buddha's Hand is a traditional Chinese medicine. Its medicinal components are mainly found in its roots, stems, leaves, and fruits. After slicing, the surface area of ​​the medicinal material increases, allowing the components to dissolve more fully in water or other solvents when decocted, soaked, or processed into medicine, thereby improving the utilization rate of the drug.

[0003] During the processing of Buddha's Hand, the operators will wash the collected Buddha's Hand. After washing, the Buddha's Hand will be manually fed into the slicer for slicing. The sliced ​​Buddha's Hand will then be moved to the drying tray for drying.

[0004] In existing technologies, Buddha's Hand citron is manually fed into a slicing machine for slicing. However, this method has several problems: manual operation is inefficient and labor-intensive. Furthermore, operator fatigue can lead to a loss of concentration during manual feeding, which can pose safety hazards. Therefore, we urgently need an automated feeding device for Buddha's Hand citron slicing to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of low slicing efficiency and safety hazards in the existing technology, and to propose an automated feeding device for Buddha's Hand slicing mechanism.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An automated feeding device for slicing Buddha's Hand citron includes a slicer installed in a support and a rectangular platform installed on the support. The rectangular platform has an inlet connected to the slicer's feed port. The device also includes: a partition plate fixedly installed on the rectangular platform, with connecting frames slidably connected to the inner walls of both sides of the partition plate. A feeding tray for transferring Buddha's Hand citron is rotatably connected between two sets of connecting frames. A temporary storage box for storing Buddha's Hand citron is fixedly installed on the rectangular platform, with baffles symmetrically installed on the rectangular platform to limit the path of the Buddha's Hand citron.

[0007] To facilitate material loading, preferably, linear guide rails are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the enclosure, and the output ends of the two sets of linear guide rails are fixedly connected to the corresponding connecting frames. A drive motor is fixedly connected to one set of connecting frames, and the output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the corresponding side of the loading tray. When the linear guide rails are working, they drive the loading tray to reciprocate along the Z-axis. When the drive motor is working, the loading tray rotates along the axis of the drive motor.

[0008] To further reduce the discharge speed, the ratio of the opening diameter of the feed end to the discharge end of the feeding tray is 2:1, and the discharge end of the feeding tray is located above the feed inlet.

[0009] To provide stability for the movement of the feeding tray, preferably, the bottom wall of the rectangular platform is symmetrically equipped with guide rails, and support rods extend from the middle of the two sets of connecting frames, with the ends of the support rods slidably connected to the guide rails.

[0010] To prevent the temporary storage box from becoming clogged, preferably, a vibration motor is symmetrically installed on the temporary storage box, and when the vibration motor is working, it drives the temporary storage box to vibrate.

[0011] To further slow down the feeding speed, the cross-sectional projection shape of the temporary storage box is trapezoidal, and the area ratio of the inlet to the outlet of the temporary storage box is 3:1.5.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an automated feeding device for Buddha's Hand slicing mechanism, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. This automated feeding device for Buddha's Hand slicing mechanism, through the setting of a flip-over feeding tray, allows the feeding tray's outlet to be located within the inlet of the rectangular platform during the feeding state. The feeding tray is tilted, and during feeding, the feeding end of the tray rotates backward, causing it to abut against the surface of the rectangular platform. At this time, combined with the drive of the linear guide rail, the feeding tray moves, and the drive motor flips the tray, thus scooping up the Buddha's Hand slices on the rectangular platform. At this time, the feeding tray is placed horizontally. When the linear guide rail moves the feeding tray again to a position close to the inlet, the drive motor drives the feeding tray to rotate again, causing the feeding end of the tray to abut against the inlet again. The Buddha's Hand slices fall under the action of gravity, thus achieving convenient feeding, avoiding manual feeding, reducing labor intensity, and improving work efficiency.

[0013] 2. The automated feeding device for this Buddha's Hand slicing mechanism uses a temporary storage box. Operators pour the Buddha's Hand slices into the temporary storage box, where they fall onto a rectangular platform by gravity and accumulate. The height difference created by the accumulation ensures that the Buddha's Hand slices in the temporary storage box will not be discharged downwards unless the number of Buddha's Hand slices on the rectangular platform decreases, thus achieving automatic feeding. To prevent blockage of the temporary storage box, a vibration motor is intermittently activated to agitate the Buddha's Hand slices inside, preventing blockages. This effectively reduces the workload of operators and achieves automatic feeding, avoiding safety accidents caused by operational errors.

[0014] The parts of this device not covered herein are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies. This utility model reduces the workload of operators, improves the convenience of material feeding, further improves production and processing efficiency, and reduces production safety hazards.

[0019] Reference Figures 1-4 An automated feeding device for slicing Buddha's Hand citron includes a slicer 1 installed in a support frame and a rectangular platform 2 installed on the support frame. The rectangular platform 2 has an inlet 3 connected to the feed port of the slicer 1. Here, the slicer 1 is mainly driven by a motor to rotate a pulley, and the shaft on the pulley drives the cutter disc to rotate and slice the Buddha's Hand citron. The motor is electrically connected to an external control power supply. The device also includes: A partition plate 4 is fixedly installed on a rectangular platform 2. Connecting frames 5 are slidably connected to the inner walls of both sides of the partition plate 4. A feeding tray 6 for transferring Buddha's Hand fruit is rotatably connected between the two sets of connecting frames 5. The ratio of the opening diameter of the feeding end to the discharge end of the feeding tray 6 is 2:1, and the discharge end of the feeding tray 6 is located above the inlet 3. Linear guide rails 9 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the partition plate 4, and the output ends of the two sets of linear guide rails 9 are fixedly connected to the corresponding connecting frames 5. A drive motor 10 is fixedly connected to one set of connecting frames 5, and the output end of the drive motor 10 is fixedly connected to the corresponding side of the feeding tray 6. Guide rails 11 are symmetrically installed on the bottom wall of the rectangular platform 2. Support rods 12 extend from the middle of both sets of connecting frames 5, and the ends of the support rods 12 are slidably connected to the guide rails 11. When the linear guide rails 9 work, they drive the feeding tray 6 to reciprocate along the Z-axis. When the drive motor 10 works, the feeding tray 6 moves along... The axis of the drive motor 10 rotates. Here, in the feeding state, the discharge port of the feeding tray 6 is located inside the inlet 3 on the rectangular platform 2. The feeding tray 6 is in an inclined state. When the feeding tray 6 is in the feeding state, the feeding end of the feeding tray 6 rotates to the rear, so that the feeding end of the feeding tray 6 abuts against the surface of the rectangular platform 2. At this time, combined with the drive of the linear guide rail 9, the feeding tray 6 is moved. Combined with the flipping of the feeding tray 6 by the drive motor 10, the Buddha's hand on the rectangular platform 2 can be scooped up. At this time, the feeding tray 6 is placed horizontally. When the linear guide rail 9 moves the feeding tray 6 to a position close to the inlet 3, the drive motor 10 drives the feeding tray 6 to rotate again, so that the discharge end of the feeding tray 6 abuts against the inlet 3 again. The Buddha's hand falls under the action of gravity, thus realizing convenient feeding, avoiding manual feeding in sequence, reducing labor intensity, and improving work efficiency.

[0020] A temporary storage box 7 for storing Buddha's Hand citrons is fixedly installed on a rectangular platform 2. Vibration motors 13 are symmetrically installed on the temporary storage box 7. When the vibration motors 13 operate, they drive the temporary storage box 7 to vibrate. The cross-sectional projection shape of the temporary storage box 7 is trapezoidal, and the area ratio of the inlet to the outlet of the temporary storage box 7 is 3:1.5. Baffles 8 for limiting the path of the Buddha's Hand citrons are symmetrically installed on the rectangular platform 2. Here, the operator pours the Buddha's Hand citrons into the temporary storage box 7. The Buddha's Hand citrons fall onto the rectangular platform 2 by gravity and accumulate. The height difference created by the accumulation ensures that the Buddha's Hand citrons in the temporary storage box 7 will not be discharged downwards if the number of Buddha's Hand citrons on the rectangular platform 2 does not decrease, thus achieving automatic unloading. To avoid blockage of the temporary storage box 7, the vibration motors 13 are intermittently activated to vibrate and move the Buddha's Hand citrons inside the temporary storage box 7, effectively saving the operator's workload and achieving automatic unloading, thus avoiding safety accidents caused by operational errors.

[0021] In this invention, the slicer 1 is turned on, and the operator pours the Buddha's Hand citron into the temporary storage box 7. Under the combined force of gravity and the vibration motor 13, the Buddha's Hand citron is discharged onto the rectangular platform 2. When there is an accumulation of Buddha's Hand citron on the rectangular platform 2, the discharge from the temporary storage box 7 stops. When the number of Buddha's Hand citron on the rectangular platform 2 decreases, the temporary storage box 7 fills the gaps. The linear guide rail 9 drives the connecting frame 5 to move, and under the drive of the drive motor 10, the feeding end of the feeding tray 6 aligns with the rectangular platform. When the two sides meet, the linear guide rail 9 can be used to scoop up the Buddha's Hand on the rectangular platform 2. At this time, the drive motor 10 drives the feeding plate 6 to rotate, forming a horizontally placed platform. Then, the linear guide rail 9 drives the feeding plate 6 to move to the inlet 3 position. The drive motor 10 drives the feeding plate 6 to rotate, so that its discharge end meets the inlet 3. The Buddha's Hand on the feeding plate 6 is loaded under the action of gravity. Repeating the above feeding operation can realize the automatic feeding process. The operator only needs to replenish the material in the temporary storage box 7.

[0022] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
