Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of slicing machine technology, specifically a slicing machine for processing Chinese herbal medicine slices. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction pieces are TCM herbs that have undergone processing and can be directly used in clinical practice. A slicer is a key piece of equipment in the processing of TCM decoction pieces; its main function is to cut TCM herbs into thin slices of a certain thickness to facilitate subsequent processing, storage, and use. Common slicers on the market include rotary slicers and reciprocating slicers. Rotary slicers cut the fed TCM herbs using rotating blades; reciprocating slicers rely on the reciprocating motion of the blades to achieve the cutting action.

[0003] However, existing slicers have some shortcomings. First, due to the wide variety of Chinese medicinal herbs, different herbs require different slice thicknesses, and the adjustment mechanisms of existing equipment are often relatively simple, making it difficult to achieve precise adjustment of slice thickness. In addition, herbs tend to pile up during the transport process, failing to enter the cutting area evenly and affecting the cutting quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that existing slicers cannot accurately adjust the slice thickness, and the medicinal materials tend to accumulate on the conveyor belt, making it impossible for them to enter the cutting area evenly, thus affecting the cutting quality.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: The present invention proposes a slicing machine for processing Chinese herbal medicine slices, including a frame, on which two sets of supporting side plates are provided, and belt conveying mechanisms are provided on the two sets of supporting side plates for stable transmission of medicinal materials. The belt conveying mechanism includes a driving roller, a driven roller, a conveyor belt and a drive motor, which is a relatively mature prior art and will not be described in detail here. The supporting side plates are provided with a material distribution component and a cutting component.

[0006] The cutting assembly includes a supporting top plate and a supporting bottom plate mounted on two sets of supporting side plates.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, in order to evenly separate the Chinese herbal medicine materials placed on the belt conveyor mechanism 3 and avoid clumping, mounting blocks 21 are provided on opposite sides of the support side plate 2. The mounting blocks 21 are provided with mounting grooves and positioning pin holes. The material distribution component 4 includes C-shaped brackets 22 that are slidably disposed in the mounting grooves on both sides. Spring pins 23 corresponding to the positioning pin holes are provided on both sides of the C-shaped brackets 22. A sliding groove 24 is provided on the C-shaped brackets 22. A partition plate 20 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 24. An adjusting rod 25 is provided above the partition plate 20 that passes through the sliding groove 24. A positioning block 26 is threadedly connected to the adjusting rod 25. Positioning is achieved by the positioning block 26 abutting against the top of the C-shaped bracket 22. Multiple sets of partition plates 20 are provided along the length of the sliding groove 24, and the spacing of the partition plates 20 can be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the medicinal materials.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, a scraper 27 is provided on one side of the support side plate 2. The scraper 27 is inclined and one end is close to the conveyor belt to remove the sheets adhering to it. The scraper 27 is made of polyethylene and its inclination angle is 30° to 45°. A cleaning chamber is also provided inside the frame 1. The cleaning chamber is equipped with a brush 28.

[0030] The outer wall of the support side plate 2 is equipped with a controller 30, and the belt conveyor mechanism 3 and the electric telescopic rod 8 are electrically connected to the controller 30. The controller 30 is equipped with operation buttons and a display screen, which can adjust the conveyor belt speed and cutting frequency.

[0031] How to use a slicer

[0032] Slice thickness adjustment

[0033] According to the required slice thickness, rotate the adjusting screw 17: Since the adjusting screw 17 is threadedly connected to the support plate 16, when rotated, it will drive the thickness adjusting plate 19 to move along the direction of the limiting rod 18, thereby changing the distance between the thickness adjusting plate 19 and the cutting blade 11, which is the slice thickness.

[0034] Adjustment of material dispensing component

[0035] If the medicinal materials tend to clump together, they need to be separated using the material distribution component 4: First, press the spring pins 23 on both sides of the C-shaped bracket 22, and slide the C-shaped bracket 22 along the mounting groove of the mounting block 21 until it is locked into the positioning pin hole. The sliding partition plate 20 moves along the sliding groove 24 of the C-shaped bracket 22, adjusting the spacing between adjacent partition plates 20 to match the size of the medicinal materials. After adjustment, rotate the positioning block 26 so that it abuts against the top of the C-shaped bracket 22 to fix the position of the partition plate 20.

[0036] Material placement and start-up equipment

[0037] The medicinal materials to be processed are evenly placed at the input end of the belt conveyor mechanism 3, ensuring that the length direction of the materials is consistent with the running direction of the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt speed and cutting frequency are set by the controller 30. After the settings are completed, the equipment is started, and the belt conveyor mechanism 3 begins to transport the medicinal materials. The separator plate 20 of the material distribution component 4 evenly separates the medicinal materials to prevent them from piling up.

[0038] When the medicinal materials are conveyed to the area below the cutting assembly 5 by the conveyor belt, the electric telescopic rod 8 drives the lifting plate 9 to move downward along the guide rod 10: First, the pressure plate 14 limits the medicinal materials under the elastic force of the support spring 15, preventing further movement. As the lifting plate 9 continues to descend, the sliding column 13 retracts along the guide sleeve 12, the support spring 15 is compressed, and the pressure plate 14 compacts the medicinal materials to prevent displacement during cutting. At the same time, the thickness adjustment plate 19 contacts the side of the medicinal materials, restricting further movement of the medicinal materials and ensuring accurate cutting length. As the lifting plate 9 continues to descend, the cutting blade 11 contacts the medicinal materials and completes the cutting process. During the cutting process, the support base plate 7 supports the bottom of the conveyor belt to prevent deformation of the conveyor belt.

[0039] After cutting, the electric telescopic rod 8 drives the lifting plate 9 to rise, the pressure plate 14 is reset under the action of the support spring 15, and the conveyor belt continues to transport the cut slices to the next cycle.

[0040] The cut medicinal slices are output along the conveyor belt and collected from the output end of the belt conveyor mechanism 3. During the operation of the conveyor belt, the inclined scraper 27 can scrape off the residue of the medicinal slices adhering to the conveyor belt; at the same time, when the lower surface of the conveyor belt passes through the cleaning chamber, the brush plate 28 made of nylon bristles further cleans the conveyor belt, and the residue falls into the pull-out storage box 29, which can be removed periodically for cleaning.
