Detailed Implementation

[0033] The following is combined Figures 1 to 6 This utility model will be described in detail.

[0034] This embodiment provides a medicinal herb cutting machine, including a frame 10, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it also includes: a feeding mechanism 20 and a conveying mechanism 30 arranged sequentially along the direction of medicinal material conveying. The feeding mechanism 20 and the conveying mechanism 30 are connected by a first synchronous belt 40. The feeding mechanism 20 includes a plurality of material boxes 201 arranged along the feeding direction. Each material box 201 is provided with a receiving cavity 2011 for holding medicinal materials. The receiving cavity 2011 is provided with a limiting structure that cooperates with the first synchronous belt 40 along the direction of medicinal material conveying.

[0035] A clamping mechanism 50 is disposed above the conveying mechanism 30. The clamping mechanism 50 includes a second synchronous belt 60, which is used to cooperate with the first synchronous belt 40 to clamp and fix the medicinal materials entering the conveying mechanism 30.

[0036] A slicing mechanism 70, located at the discharge end of the conveying mechanism 30, is used to cut medicinal materials; and

[0037] The material receiving mechanism 80 is located below the discharge end of the conveying mechanism 30 and is used to collect the cut medicinal materials.

[0038] During operation, the manual placement of the medicinal materials to be processed into the material box 201, which carries the materials from the feeding mechanism 20 towards the conveying mechanism 30, separates the materials from the material box 201 using the first synchronous belt 40, and clamps them vertically under the action of the second synchronous belt 60 until they reach the slicing mechanism 70. The slicing mechanism 70 cuts the materials, and the sliced ​​materials fall into the receiving mechanism 80. In this embodiment, the medicinal material is gallbladder, and each material box 201 can hold 3-5 gallbladders, ensuring both effective clamping and high processing efficiency. The feeding mechanism 20 and the conveying mechanism 30 rotate in the same direction and synchronously. The first synchronous belt 40 rotates in the same direction as the feeding mechanism 20 and the conveying mechanism 30, but may not rotate synchronously. The rotation direction of the conveying mechanism 30 is opposite to that of the feeding mechanism 20, and the second synchronous belt 60 rotates in the same direction as the conveying mechanism 30, but may not rotate synchronously. That is, the first synchronous belt 40 and the second synchronous belt 60 rotate in opposite directions but move at the same speed, ensuring that the materials are stably clamped. The first synchronous belt 40 and the second synchronous belt 60 are made of elastic material and fit together tightly to ensure a better clamping effect.

[0039] In this embodiment, both the first synchronous belt 40 and the second synchronous belt 60 include at least two parallel and spaced-apart belts. The working end of the slicing mechanism 70 acts on the gap area between the two belts. This gap area allows the slicing mechanism 70 to cut the medicinal material while it is being clamped, thus avoiding the risk of accidental collision, wear, or snagging on the belts during operation. The slicing mechanism 70 includes a blade holder fixed to the frame 10, on which blades are mounted, and the blades are connected to a motor.

[0040] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, the second synchronous belt 60 is inclined relative to the first synchronous belt 40 to form a guide gap that gradually narrows along the feeding direction at the feed end of the pressing mechanism 50. The guide gap can correct the position of the medicinal material and ensure that the medicinal material remains stable on the conveying mechanism 30 without slipping or shifting, thereby improving the cutting accuracy.

[0041] It also includes an air blowing mechanism 90, the output end of which is positioned facing the discharge end of the conveying mechanism 30, for blowing the cut medicinal materials into the receiving mechanism 80. The air blowing mechanism 90 includes an air compressor, a control valve, and a nozzle assembly. In use, the control valve is opened, allowing gas processed by the air compressor to be sprayed out through the nozzle assembly, blowing the cut medicinal materials into the receiving mechanism 80. This design avoids mechanical contact damage to the medicinal materials by push rods or other means, and can also blow away residual debris to prevent its accumulation.

[0042] The feeding mechanism 20 includes a first conveyor belt 202, on which a material box 201 is mounted, such as Figure 2As shown, the limiting structure is a groove 2012 adapted to the first conveyor belt 202. When the first conveyor belt 202 is located at the feeding mechanism 20, it is housed within the groove 2012 and does not affect the placement of herbs in the material box 201. When the first conveyor belt 202 moves to the conveying mechanism 30, the material box 201 moves cyclically with the feeding mechanism 20, while the first synchronous belt 40 separates from the groove 2012 and carries the corresponding herbs into the conveying mechanism 30. The conveying mechanism 30 includes a second conveyor belt with baffles on both sides. The second conveyor belt also provides processing space for the slicing mechanism 70. The baffles prevent external impurities from entering the second conveyor belt and also provide guidance for the clamping and engaging first synchronous belt 40 and second synchronous belt 60.

[0043] In this embodiment, a tensioning mechanism 100 is also included. A third synchronous belt and a second synchronous belt 60 are fitted onto the tensioning mechanism 100. The tensioning mechanism 100 includes a drive wheel, a driven wheel, and a tensioning wheel, which are fixed to the frame 10 and arranged in a triangular pattern. The drive wheel provides power, the driven wheel maintains the operation of the third synchronous belt, and the tensioning wheel can be adjusted to maintain a constant tension in the tensioning mechanism.

[0044] The clamping mechanism 50 includes a guide wheel assembly fixed to the frame 10. Several guide wheels are arranged facing the conveying mechanism 30. Each guide wheel has a second synchronous belt 60 in its circumferential direction. The guide wheels can compress and ensure the clamping effect between the second synchronous belt 60 and the first synchronous belt 40. After the medicinal material is cut, a downward force is generated to compress the material, causing it to fall into the receiving mechanism 80. In other embodiments, the guide wheel assembly also includes a buffer.

[0045] In this embodiment, a first drive pulley 401 and a second drive pulley 601 are also included. The first drive pulley 401 is used to drive the first synchronous belt 40 to work, and the second drive pulley 601 is used to drive the second synchronous belt 60 to work. The first drive pulley 401 and the second drive pulley 601 are connected to a motor.

[0046] In this embodiment, the receiving mechanism 80 includes a material trough located below the discharge end of the conveying mechanism 30. Specifically, it includes two material troughs symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveying mechanism 30. The cut medicinal materials enter the two material troughs respectively under the action of the blowing mechanism 90. The material troughs are inclined to facilitate the collection of the medicinal materials.

[0047] In this embodiment, as Figures 3 to 5As shown, an operating platform 110 is provided at the first end of the top of the frame 10. The top of the operating platform 110 has a mounting groove, in which a feeding mechanism 20 is installed. A housing 120 is rotatably connected to the second end of the top of the frame 10. The conveying mechanism 30, the clamping mechanism 50, and the slicing mechanism 70 are installed inside the housing 120 to prevent cutting debris from flying out and to prevent foreign objects from entering and causing jamming. The housing 120 is rotatably connected to facilitate observation and maintenance of the conveying mechanism 30, the clamping mechanism 50, and the slicing mechanism 70.

[0048] The working principle of the medicinal material cutting machine proposed in this utility model is as follows:

[0049] The manual places the medicinal materials to be processed into the material box 201 of the feeding mechanism 20, and controls the feeding mechanism 20 to move toward the conveying mechanism 30. The first synchronous belt 40 transfers the medicinal materials to the conveying mechanism 30. The first synchronous belt 40 and the second synchronous belt 60 clamp and fix the medicinal materials. After the medicinal materials are conveyed to the slicing mechanism 70 for cutting, the cut medicinal materials fall into the material trough under the action of the blowing mechanism 90, and are finally collected by sorting.

[0050] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
