Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing equipment, and in particular to a traditional Chinese medicine slice cutting machine with adjustable feeding. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction piece processing, traditional herb cutting machines generally suffer from insufficient flexibility in feeding adjustment. Due to the wide variety of raw materials for TCM decoction pieces, and the significant differences in width and shape between different root and leaf herbs, traditional equipment often uses a fixed-width feeding channel, which is difficult to adapt to the processing needs of herbs of different sizes. This often requires frequent manual adjustments to the equipment or batch processing, which not only increases the labor intensity of operators but also easily leads to feeding deviation due to manual intervention, resulting in uneven cutting dimensions and low pass rates. At the same time, the conveying devices of some traditional herb cutting machines use ordinary belt drives or gear connections, which have insufficient transmission precision and are prone to conveyor belt deviation and fluctuations in conveying speed, further affecting the stability of decoction piece conveying and causing a decrease in cutting precision. In addition, there is a safety hazard of accidental hand contact with the cutting parts during manual feeding, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale and standardized TCM decoction piece production.

[0020] Example 1 like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides an adjustable feeding Chinese herbal medicine slice cutting machine, including a support device, a conveying device, a partition device, and a cutting device 3. The conveying device is placed above the support device, and the partition device and the cutting device 3 are respectively installed above the conveying device. The support device provides stable support and precise installation benchmark for all devices. The conveying device is used to convey Chinese medicine. The partition device is used to divide the conveying device into multiple independent feeding channels, thereby restricting the Chinese medicine. The cutting device 3 uses an existing structure to cut the Chinese medicine.
[0021] The conveying device includes a conveyor belt 11, a conveyor roller, and a conveyor motor 12. The conveyor motor 12 is connected to the conveyor roller via a spline, and the conveyor belt 11 is supported by the conveyor roller. The conveyor motor 12 provides rotational power to the conveyor roller, which supports the conveyor belt 11 and drives the conveyor belt 11 to circulate through its own rotation. The conveyor belt 11 is used to move the Chinese medicine.
[0022] The support device includes a support platform 1 and a support plate 2. The support platform 1 is fixedly connected to the support plate 2. A first through hole is opened on the side wall of the support plate 2. The output shaft of the conveying motor 12 passes through the first through hole and is connected to the conveying roller. The conveying roller is placed between the support plates 2. The support platform 1 is used to support the weight of the entire machine and is in direct contact with the ground. The support plate 2 serves as a mounting bracket for the conveying roller. By clamping the two support plates 2, the conveying roller is kept horizontal and rotates stably. The conveying motor 12 is fixedly installed on the outside of the support plate 2, and the support plate 2 provides the installation position for the conveying motor 12.
[0023] The partition device includes a partition plate 9 and an adjusting mechanism, which are connected together. The partition device and the cutting device 3 are adjacent. A third limiting rod 10 is slidably connected between the partition plates 9 to control the direction of movement of the partition plates 9. The adjusting mechanism includes a mounting plate 23, a rolling roller 13, a first connecting piece, a limiting rod, and an adjusting motor 24. The rolling roller 13 and the limiting rod are mounted between two mounting plates 23 and are rotatably connected to the mounting plates 23. A second through hole is provided on the mounting plate 23, and the output shaft of the adjusting motor 24 passes through the second through hole and is connected to the rolling roller 13. The adjusting motor 24 provides rotational power to the rolling roller 13. The mounting plate 23 serves as the mounting frame for the adjusting mechanism, providing installation space for the rolling roller 13 and the limiting rod.
[0024] The limiting rods include a first limiting rod 14 and a second limiting rod 15. The first connecting member includes a connecting block 21 and a connecting piece 22. The first limiting rod 14 is positioned directly above the second limiting rod 15. The connecting block 21 is sleeved on the first limiting rod 14 and the second limiting rod 15. The front surface of the connecting block 21 is fixedly connected to the connecting piece 22, and the connecting piece 22 has a third through hole. The first limiting rod 14 and the second limiting rod 15 serve as guide rails for the connecting block 21, restricting the connecting block 21 to move only along the axial direction of the limiting rods, thus preventing the connecting block 21 from shifting during adjustment. The connecting block 21 is a transmission component for the adjustment action. Through the sliding engagement between the limiting rod and the rolling roller 13, the rotation of the rolling roller 13 is converted into its own horizontal movement.
[0025] There are five connecting blocks 21. Each connecting block 21 has a limit strip fixedly connected to its rear surface. The rolling roller 13 has a first limit groove 16, a second limit groove 17, a third limit groove 18, a fourth limit groove 19 and a fifth limit groove 20.

The first limiting groove 16, the second limiting groove 17, the third limiting groove 18, the fourth limiting groove 19, and the fifth limiting groove 20 opened on the surface of the rolling roller 13 can drive the limiting strip to slide by rotating. The trajectory of the first limiting groove 16, the second limiting groove 17, the third limiting groove 18, the fourth limiting groove 19, and the fifth limiting groove 20 limits the movement direction of the limiting strip, thereby controlling the spacing of the connecting blocks 21 and realizing the adjustment of the channel width.
[0026] The connecting piece 22 is fixedly connected to the second connecting member 6. The second connecting member 6 includes a connecting post 8 and a plug 7. The plug 7 has a fourth through hole adapted to the connecting piece 22, and connecting bolts are inserted into the third and fourth through holes. The connecting piece 22 serves as a transition between the connecting block 21 and the second connecting member 6, and the third through hole mates with the fourth through hole of the second connecting member 6 to achieve a detachable connection between the two. The connecting post 8 is directly connected to the partition 9, which can convert the movement of the connecting block 21 into the movement of the partition 9. The plug 7 is used to connect the connecting piece 22 through the connecting bolts, which facilitates the installation, replacement, and maintenance of the partition 9.
[0027] There are two sets of second connectors 6, each set having five second connectors 6, and the two sets of connectors are symmetrically arranged. Each set of second connectors 6 has a limiting plate 4 on its outside, and the two ends of the limiting plate 4 are fixedly connected to the support plate 2.

The two connecting posts 8 fix each partition 9 to ensure its stability. The spacing can be adjusted as the connecting post 8 moves to accommodate Chinese herbal medicine slices of different widths.
[0028] When the adjustable feeding herbal medicine slice cutting machine provided by this utility model is used, the support device provides a stable foundation, the conveyor motor 12 drives the conveyor roller to drive the conveyor belt 11 to rotate, and convey the herbal medicine slices forward; at the same time, the adjustment motor 24 drives the rolling roller 13 to rotate, and through the sliding cooperation of the limiting strip with the first limiting groove 16, the second limiting groove 17, the third limiting groove 18, the fourth limiting groove 19 and the fifth limiting groove 20, the connecting block 21 is driven to move along the first limiting rod 14 and the second limiting rod 15, so that the spacing of the partition plate 9 connected to the connecting column 8 is adjusted to form a feeding channel adapted to the size of the herbal medicine slices, and to prevent the herbal medicine slices from deviating; finally, the herbal medicine slices that have been neatly arranged by the partition device are accurately conveyed to the adjacent cutting device 3 to complete the cutting, realizing automated and adjustable herbal medicine slice cutting processing.
[0029] Therefore, this utility model adopts the above-mentioned adjustable feeding herbal medicine slice cutting machine. The support device provides a stable foundation for the installation and operation of the whole machine, ensuring the precise alignment and stable operation of the conveying, partitioning, and cutting devices. The conveying device uses a spline connection to transmit power, ensuring the stability of the conveying roller rotation and the conveyor belt operation, realizing uniform and continuous conveying of medicinal slices, reducing manual intervention and lowering safety risks. The partitioning device drives the rolling roller to rotate by adjusting the motor. With the guidance transmission of the limit bar, connecting block and double limit rod, the rotational motion is converted into the horizontal movement of the partition. The width of the feeding channel can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to the processing needs of different sized medicinal materials, avoid the offset and stacking of medicinal slices during the conveying process, and ensure the consistency of the cutting size.
[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it.
