Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of slicing devices, specifically to an automated slicer. Background Technology

[0002] In the slicing of some medicinal herbs, the material is typically pressed manually into a frame, and then a cutter below the frame cuts off the protruding layer of material at the frame opening to create slices. To improve efficiency, some companies have replaced manual pressing with mechanical pressing, but this is generally a unidirectional cutting process, which is relatively slow and needs improvement. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address at least one of the aforementioned technical deficiencies, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0004] This application discloses an automated slicer, including a base and a cutting assembly, a lifting mechanism, a pressure block, a horizontal shifting mechanism, and a material frame. The base is equipped with the horizontal shifting mechanism, the lifting mechanism, and the material frame. The horizontal shifting mechanism is connected to the cutting assembly to drive it to move horizontally back and forth. The lifting mechanism is connected to the pressure block to drive it to move longitudinally to press the material in the material frame. The cutting assembly includes a slide and a cutter. The top surface of the slide has a first groove and a second groove, and the cutter is located between the first groove and the second groove. The cutter is double-edged, with the two ends of the cutter facing the first groove and the second groove, respectively. The side of the slide is connected to the moving end of the horizontal shifting mechanism. The slide is slidably connected in a groove on the base, and a guide plate is provided below the groove. Two sets of feeding mechanisms are provided above the slide. The feeding mechanism includes a second lifting mechanism and a pressure rod at its moving end. The second lifting mechanism drives the pressure rod to press down on the slice in the first groove or the second groove. When the horizontal shifting mechanism moves the slide, the slice is disengaged from the first groove or the second groove.

[0005] If the horizontal shifting mechanism moves the slide to align the first groove with the material frame, and the material is placed in the material frame with its bottom abutting against the first groove, the lifting mechanism moves down to press the material in the material frame. The horizontal shifting mechanism moves to cut off the material layer in the first groove with a cutter. When the horizontal shifting mechanism moves the slide to the point where the first groove is below the second lifting mechanism, the second lifting mechanism moves down the pressure bar to press the slice that has been formed in the first groove. When the horizontal shifting mechanism resets the slide, the slice is detached from the first groove and falls onto the guide plate below. At the same time, during the reset process of the horizontal shifting mechanism, the other blade of the cutter cuts the material in the second groove. The bidirectional reciprocating cutting into slices improves efficiency. The second lifting mechanism, in conjunction with the pressure bar, helps to improve efficiency.

[0006] Furthermore, the base includes a base frame, a top frame, and a middle frame. The top frame is mounted on the base frame, and the middle frame is positioned between the base frame and the top frame. A horizontal shifting mechanism and a cutting assembly are mounted on the base frame, a material frame is mounted on the middle frame, and a lifting mechanism one and a lifting mechanism two are mounted on the top frame. The configuration of the base, top frame, and middle frame facilitates the connection and support of the lifting mechanism, the horizontal shifting mechanism, etc.

[0007] Furthermore, the base frame, top frame, and middle frame are all table-type, with a sliding groove provided on the table in the middle of the base frame, and a sliding seat slidably connected to the sliding groove, making the table-type frame easy to install.

[0008] Furthermore, the second lifting mechanism is respectively arranged on both sides of the first lifting mechanism.

[0009] Furthermore, the first lifting mechanism is a lead screw type, the second lifting mechanism is a cylinder type, and the horizontal displacement mechanism is a lead screw type.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0018] Example 1

[0019] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the automated slicing machine in this example includes a base 1 and a cutting assembly, a lifting mechanism 4, a pressure block 6, a horizontal shifting mechanism 2, and a material frame 3. The horizontal shifting mechanism 2, the lifting mechanism 4, and the material frame 3 are installed on the base 1. Specifically, the base 1 includes a base frame 100, a top frame 102, and a middle frame 101. The base frame 100, the top frame 102, and the middle frame 101 are all rectangular table frames. The top frame 102 is fixed on the table of the base frame 100, and the middle frame 101 is installed between the base frame 100 and the top frame 102. The middle frame 101 is fixed at the table of the base frame 100 covered by the top frame 102. A rectangular through hole is formed in the middle of the table of the middle frame 101, which is the material frame 3.

[0020] A lifting mechanism 4 is installed on the table of the top frame 102 directly above the material frame 3. If the lifting mechanism 4 also uses a screw-driven displacement type, a pressure block 6 is installed at the moving end of the lifting mechanism 4. The pressure block 6 is the same size as the material frame. The lifting mechanism 4 moves the pressure block 6 longitudinally, for example, moving the pressure block into the material frame to press the material within it. A guide mechanism 5 can also be added, such as a common guide cylinder or guide column. The pressure block 6 is connected to the table of the top frame 102 via the guide mechanism 5, improving the stability of the pressure block's movement.

[0021] A horizontal displacement mechanism 2 is installed on the side of the table in the base frame 100. The horizontal displacement mechanism is a common screw displacement type. A through-hole type slide groove 103 is formed in the middle of the table in the base frame 100. The cutting component is slidably connected at the slide groove 103. The moving end of the horizontal displacement mechanism 2 is connected to the cutting component, thereby driving the cutting component to move back and forth.

[0022] The cutting assembly includes a slide block 11 and a cutter 10. The lower parts of both sides of the slide block 11 are slidably connected to the groove wall of the slide groove 103. The side of the slide block 11 adjacent to the horizontal shifting mechanism 2 is connected to the moving end of the horizontal shifting mechanism. A first groove 12 and a second groove 13 are formed on the top surface of the slide block 11 along the moving direction. The cutter 10 is fixed in the middle of the first groove 12 and the second groove 13. The cutter is a double-edged type with the two ends of the cutting edge facing the first groove 12 and the second groove 13, respectively.

[0023] In use, the slide is moved by the horizontal displacement mechanism so that the first groove corresponds vertically to the material frame. Material is placed in the material frame and the bottom of the material abuts against the first groove. The lifting mechanism moves down to press the material in the material frame. The horizontal displacement mechanism moves so that the blade of the tool cuts off the material layer in the first groove.

[0024] In this example, two sets of feeding mechanisms and guide plates 9 are added. For example, feeding mechanisms are installed on both sides of the lifting mechanism 4. The feeding mechanism includes the lifting mechanism 7 and the pressure rod 8 fixed at its moving end. The lifting mechanism 7 drives the pressure rod 8 to move longitudinally. The lifting mechanism 2 is such as a common telescopic cylinder. The lifting mechanism 7 in the two feeding mechanisms is located on both sides of the lifting mechanism 4.

[0025] A guide plate 9 is installed below the feeding mechanism and the corresponding chute 103. The guide plate 9 is tilted downward. When the horizontal shifting mechanism moves the slide to the point where the first groove 12 is below the pressure rod 8 and the second groove 13 corresponds vertically to the material frame 3, the lifting mechanism 7 moves the pressure rod 8 down to press the cut slice at the first groove 12. The lifting mechanism 4 moves the pressure block 6 down a predetermined distance to continue pressing the material at the material frame. The horizontal shifting mechanism resets, and the other blade of the cutter cuts the material at the second groove into slices. Simultaneously, under the pressure of the pressure rod, the slices are discharged from the end slot of the first groove and fall onto the guide plate below. The slices at the second groove can also be fed by the feeding mechanism above them.

[0026] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are within its protection scope. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within its protection scope.
