Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine production technology, and in particular to a cutting device for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. 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. There is no absolute boundary between TCM raw materials and TCM decoction pieces. TCM decoction pieces include some TCM slices processed at the place of origin, raw medicinal materials decoction pieces, and decoction pieces that have been cut and processed. In the process of producing TCM decoction pieces, it is necessary to cut the raw medicinal materials, so cutting equipment is required.
[0003] Existing technologies, such as Chinese Patent Publication No. CN221160462U, disclose a Chinese herbal medicine cutting device, including a main unit and a cutting unit. The main unit includes a working frame, a rotating seat fixedly connected to the lower part of the working frame, a feeding cylinder rotatably connected to the rotating seat, a connecting block fixedly connected to the output end of the feeding cylinder, a mating block rotatably connected to the connecting block, a feeding port provided in the upper side wall of the working frame, a support plate rotatably connected to the feeding port, a support frame fixedly connected to the upper surface of the working frame, a clamping cylinder provided on the right side of the support frame, a clamping plate fixedly connected to the output end of the clamping cylinder, and a limit rod fixedly connected to the front side of the clamping plate. With the main unit and cutting unit, a single Chinese herbal medicine raw material only needs to be cut once, improving cutting efficiency and ease of use. However, the length of the cut medicinal material is fixed, making it inconvenient to adjust the cutting distance as needed, and the residue after cutting mixes with the medicinal material, affecting subsequent processing.
[0004] To address the issue that cutting equipment for Chinese herbal medicine slices is inconvenient to adjust the cutting length as needed when performing multi-segment synchronous cutting, existing technologies often use multiple sets of fixed-position cutters to cut a single herb simultaneously in order to improve cutting efficiency and avoid repeated cutting of the same herb. However, the length of the cut herb is fixed, which is not very applicable, so improvements are needed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that existing Chinese herbal medicine cutting devices are not convenient to adjust the cutting length as needed when performing multi-segment synchronous cutting, and to propose a Chinese herbal medicine cutting device.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a Chinese herbal medicine slice cutting device, comprising a cutting table, a cylinder, a movable table, a cutter, and an adjustment mechanism. The cylinder is fixedly installed on the surface of the cutting table, the movable table is fixedly connected to the drive end of the cylinder, and the adjustment mechanism is disposed on the surface of the movable table. The adjustment mechanism includes a worm gear, which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the movable table. A worm wheel is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the movable table, and the worm wheel is meshed with the surface of the worm gear. A cylinder is fixedly connected to the surface of the worm wheel, a connecting rod is rotatably connected to the surface of the cylinder, and a rotating rod is rotatably connected to the surface of the connecting rod. A guide rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable table, a slider is slidably connected to the surface of the guide rod, the rotating rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the slider, a fixed block is fixedly connected to the surface of the guide rod, a linkage block is slidably connected to the surface of the guide rod, auxiliary rods are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the fixed block and the linkage block, and linkage rods are rotatably connected to the surfaces of the rotating rod and the auxiliary rods. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the linkage rod, and a cutter is fixedly installed on the surfaces of the slider, the fixed block, and the linkage block.
[0007] Furthermore, a handwheel is fixedly connected to the surface of the worm gear, a clearance groove is provided on the surface of the movable table, and the rotating rod is slidably connected to the surface of the clearance groove.
[0008] Furthermore, the number of cylinders, connecting rods, rotating rods, sliders, and clearance grooves are all in two sets, while the number of linkage blocks, auxiliary rods, and cutters is in multiple sets.
[0009] Furthermore, there are multiple sets of linkage rods and multiple sets of rotating shafts, and the multiple sets of linkage rods are connected by rotating rods, auxiliary rods and rotating shafts in a cross-rotational manner.
[0010] Furthermore, the surface of the cutting table is provided with a screening mechanism, which includes a collection box. The collection box is fixedly connected to the surface of the cutting table. A door is hinged to the surface of the collection box. A slide rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the collection box. A U-shaped frame is slidably connected to the surface of the slide rod. A screen is fixedly connected to the surface of the U-shaped frame. The screen is slidably connected to the inner wall of the collection box.
[0011] Furthermore, a spring is sleeved and connected to the surface of the slide rod, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the surface of the U-shaped frame, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the surface of the collection box. A through groove is opened on the surface of the U-shaped frame.
[0012] Furthermore, the surface of the cutting table is fixedly connected to a baffle, and there are two sets of baffles arranged symmetrically. The surface of the baffle is fixedly connected to a guide plate.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. In this utility model, by setting an adjustment mechanism, the medicinal material is placed on the cutting table, and the cylinder is activated to drive the movable table downward. Multiple sets of cutters are used to simultaneously perform multi-segment cutting. When it is necessary to adjust the cutting distance, simply turn the handwheel to make the worm gear drive the worm wheel to rotate, causing the cylinder to rotate and the connecting rod to drive the rotating rod to slide along the relief groove. This, in turn, drives the two sets of sliders to move towards or away from each other along the guide rod. Due to the fixed block setting, under the linkage of the rotating rod, auxiliary rod, linkage rod and rotating shaft, the distance between the slider, fixed block and linkage block can be uniformly adjusted, thereby making the distance between the cutters change uniformly. By setting an adjustment mechanism, multiple sets of cutters are used to cut the medicinal material in multiple segments, and the distance between multiple sets of cutters can be uniformly adjusted, thereby realizing the change of the cutting length of the medicinal material as needed, which effectively improves the applicability of the equipment.
[0015] 2. In this utility model, by setting up a screening mechanism, the cut medicinal materials are properly collected in a collection box. After the medicinal materials enter the collection box, they fall onto the screen, causing the screen to move downwards. This causes the U-shaped frame to slide downwards along the slide rod and press the spring. Then, under the rebound of the spring, it moves upwards. The vibration causes the residue in the medicinal materials to fall through the screen to the bottom of the collection box. The medicinal materials can be removed by simply holding the through slot and lifting the U-shaped frame. The residue at the bottom can be cleaned by simply opening the box door. By setting up a screening mechanism, the cut medicinal materials can be separated from the residue generated during cutting, which facilitates subsequent processing and effectively improves the convenience of the equipment.

[0026] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: the worm gear 502 and worm 501 are designed to utilize their self-locking function, allowing the worm gear 502 to rotate and be adjusted while preventing it from rotating arbitrarily; the cylinder 503, connecting rod 504, rotating rod 505, and slider 507 are designed to rotate the cylinder 503 when the worm gear 502 rotates, and the connecting rod 504 drives the rotating rod 505 and slider 507 to move; the guide rod 506 provides limiting and guiding functions for the movement of slider 507 and linkage block 509; the fixed block 508 is designed to ensure that the spacing of the cutter 4 can be adjusted evenly; and the linkage block 509, auxiliary rod 510, linkage rod 511, and rotating shaft 512 are designed to drive the linkage block 509 to move when the two sets of sliders 507 move towards or away from each other, and the distance between slider 507, fixed block 508, and linkage block 509 always changes evenly.
[0027] Specifically, a handwheel 513 is fixedly connected to the surface of the worm gear 501, and a clearance groove 514 is provided on the surface of the movable table 3. The rotating rod 505 is slidably connected to the surface of the clearance groove 514.

[0030] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: setting two sets of connecting rods 504 and sliders 507 is to facilitate the synchronous adjustment of the spacing of multiple sets of cutters 4 from both sides, and setting multiple sets of cutters 4 is to facilitate the synchronous multi-segment cutting of medicinal materials.
[0031] Specifically, there are multiple sets of linkage rods 511 and multiple sets of rotating shafts 512. The multiple sets of linkage rods 511 are connected by rotating rods 505, auxiliary rods 510 and rotating shafts 512 in a cross-rotational manner.
[0032] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: setting multiple sets of linkage rods 511 and rotating shafts 512, and connecting the multiple sets of linkage rods 511 through rotating rods 505 and 505, auxiliary rods 510 and rotating shafts 512 in a cross-rotational manner, is to ensure that the distance between the cutters 4 can be adjusted uniformly and synchronously.
[0033] Specifically, the surface of the cutting table 1 is provided with a screening mechanism 6, which includes a collection box 61. The collection box 61 is fixedly connected to the surface of the cutting table 1. The surface of the collection box 61 is hinged to a door 62. The surface of the collection box 61 is fixedly connected to a slide rod 63. The surface of the slide rod 63 is slidably connected to a U-shaped frame 64. The surface of the U-shaped frame 64 is fixedly connected to a screen 65. The screen 65 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the collection box 61.
[0034] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: the collection box 61 is set to collect the cut medicinal materials, the box door 62 is set to facilitate the cleaning of the dregs at the bottom, the slide bar 63 and the U-shaped frame 64 are set to facilitate the movement of the screen 65, and the screen 65 is set to facilitate the screening out of the dregs.
[0035] Specifically, a spring 66 is sleeved and connected to the surface of the slide bar 63. One end of the spring 66 is fixedly connected to the surface of the U-shaped frame 64, and the other end of the spring 66 is fixedly connected to the surface of the collection box 61. A through groove 67 is opened on the surface of the U-shaped frame 64.
[0036] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: the spring 66 is set so that when the medicinal material falls on the screen 65, the vibration generated by the rebound force will cooperate with the screen 65 to quickly screen out the dregs; the through groove 67 is set so that it is easy to hold the U-shaped frame 64.
[0037] Specifically, the surface of the cutting table 1 is fixedly connected with baffles 68, and there are two sets of baffles 68 arranged symmetrically. The surface of the baffles 68 is fixedly connected with guide plates 69.
[0038] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: the baffle 68 is set to prevent the medicinal materials from falling from both sides, and the guide plate 69 is set to facilitate the guidance of the medicinal materials between the two sets of baffles 68.
[0039] Working principle: By setting the adjustment mechanism 5, the medicinal materials are placed on the cutting table 1. The cylinder 2 is activated to drive the movable table 3 downward. Multiple sets of cutters 4 are used to cut in multiple segments simultaneously. When it is necessary to adjust the cutting distance, simply turn the handwheel 513 to make the worm gear 501 drive the worm wheel 502 to rotate, so that the cylinder 503 rotates and the connecting rod 504 drives the rotating rod 505 to slide along the relief groove 514. This drives the two sets of sliders 507 to move towards or away from each other along the guide rod 506. Since the fixed block 508 is fixed, under the linkage of the rotating rod 505, auxiliary rod 510, linkage rod 511 and rotating shaft 512, the distance between the sliders 507, fixed block 508 and linkage block 509 can be adjusted evenly, so that the distance between the cutters 4 can be changed evenly. By setting the adjustment mechanism 5, multiple sets of cutters 4 are used to cut the medicinal materials in multiple segments, and the distance between multiple sets of cutters 4 can be adjusted evenly, so as to change the cutting length of the medicinal materials as needed, which effectively improves the applicability of the equipment.
[0040] Furthermore, by setting up a screening mechanism 6, the cut medicinal materials are properly collected by the collection box 61. After the medicinal materials enter the collection box 61, they fall onto the screen 65, causing the screen 65 to move downwards. This causes the U-shaped frame 64 to slide downwards along the slide rod 63 and press the spring 66. Then, under the rebound action of the spring 66, it moves upwards. The vibration causes the residue in the medicinal materials to fall through the screen 65 to the bottom of the collection box 61. The medicinal materials can be removed by simply holding the through groove 67 and lifting the U-shaped frame 64. The residue at the bottom can be cleaned by simply opening the box door 62. By setting up the screening mechanism 6, the cut medicinal materials can be separated from the residue generated during cutting, which is convenient for subsequent processing and effectively improves the convenience of the equipment.
