Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machinery technology for processing Chinese medicinal materials, specifically a device that facilitates the rotation and slicing of Chinese medicinal materials. Background Technology

[0002] Slicing Chinese medicinal herbs is a crucial step in the processing of traditional Chinese medicine. The quality of the slices (such as thickness uniformity, integrity, and surface smoothness) directly affects the extraction efficiency of the active ingredients and the stability of subsequent formulation processes. Manual slicing requires skilled pharmacists and, while adhering to traditional quality practices, is unsuitable for today's large-scale production. Mechanical slicing currently relies primarily on rotary slicers, whose core principle is the continuous cutting of stationary or transported medicinal materials using high-speed rotating blades. However, existing rotary slicers suffer from the following technical drawbacks in practical applications: Traditional rotary slicers typically use fixed blades that are difficult to adjust. Additionally, the feed inlet is also difficult to adjust, as its size and angle are fixed and cannot be adapted to the shape of the medicinal materials (such as length, thickness, and curvature).

[0016] A device for facilitating the rotation and slicing of Chinese medicinal herbs, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the slicer includes a slicer body 1, with a material plate 4 fixedly installed at one end of the slicer body 1. The material plate 4 has a feed inlet 5. A discharge hopper 15 is provided at the bottom of one side of the slicer body 1. The slicer body 1 is equipped with a linkage component, which includes a fixing plate 12 fixedly installed on the slicer body 1. A limit tube 13 is fixedly installed at the top of the fixing plate 12. Bearings 16 are provided on both sides of the limit tube 13. A connecting rod 14 is provided inside the bearing 16. A rotating wheel 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 14. A drive component is provided at the other end of the connecting rod 14. The drive component is used to control the rotation of the rotating wheel 3. Four sets of blades 31 are provided on the rotating wheel 3. The blade size of the four sets of blades 31 is 13mm×3mm and the blade width is 12mm, which is suitable for the slicing needs of most common Chinese medicinal materials and ensures that the slicing process is stable. An adjustment component is provided on the material plate 4 to control the opening size of the feed inlet 5.

[0017] The drive assembly is a belt drive, including a motor 21 fixedly installed inside the slicer body 1 and a linkage wheel 2 fixedly installed at the other end of the connecting rod 14. The output shaft of the motor 21 is fixedly mounted with a drive wheel 22, and a synchronous belt 23 is fitted onto the drive wheel 22 and the linkage wheel 2. Through the transmission combination of the drive wheel 22, the synchronous belt 23, and the linkage wheel 2, the power of the motor 21 can be efficiently and stably transmitted to the connecting rod 14, thereby driving the rotating wheel 3 and the blade 31 to rotate, ensuring the uniformity of the blade 31's rotation speed, which is beneficial to improving the consistency of slicing.

[0018] A protective cover 11 is connected to the main body 1 of the slicer via a hinge. The protective cover 11 prevents debris generated during the slicing process from flying and injuring people, and also prevents operators from accidentally coming into contact with the high-speed rotating blade 31, which greatly improves the safety of equipment operation.

[0019] Each blade 31 has two U-shaped connecting grooves 32, which are spaced apart along the length of the blade 31. Each set of U-shaped connecting grooves 32 is fitted with a bolt 33. The blade 31 is detachably connected and fastened to the rotating wheel 3 by the bolt 33, making it very convenient to adjust the position and angle of the blade 31. Operators do not need complicated tools and cumbersome steps. They can simply loosen the bolt 33 to adjust the blade 31 according to the slicing requirements of different Chinese medicinal materials, so as to meet different slicing thicknesses and cutting needs.

[0020] The adjustment assembly includes two sets of fixed shells 6 fixedly installed on the material plate 4. A support plate 62 is fixedly installed inside each set of fixed shells 6, and a guide rod 63 is fixedly installed on the support plate 62. A sliding block 65 is slidably installed on the outer surface of the guide rod 63, and two sets of sliding rods 64 are fixedly installed on the sliding block 65. The sliding rods 64 pass through the support plate 62, and an adjustment block 61 is fixedly installed at the end of the two sets of sliding rods 64. The support plate 62 and the guide rod 63 provide precise guidance for the sliding of the sliding block 65, ensuring that the sliding block 65 drives the sliding rod 64 and the adjustment block 61 to move smoothly in a straight line, ensuring the accuracy of the adjustment of the feed inlet 5, ensuring the precision of the adjustment of the opening size of the feed inlet 5, and better adapting to Chinese medicinal materials of different specifications.

[0021] The fixed shell 6 has a second limiting groove 691. A fixing bolt 69 is rotatably installed on the sliding block 65 and extends out of the second limiting groove 691. The fixing bolt 69 can be tightened to firmly fix the sliding block 65 after the adjusting block 61 is adjusted to a suitable position, so as to prevent the sliding block 65 from shifting due to equipment vibration or other reasons during the slicing operation, thus ensuring the stability of the position of the adjusting block 61 and ensuring the constant size of the feed inlet 5 opening.

[0022] A side plate 67 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixed housing 6, and a first limiting groove 68 is provided on the side plate 67. A handle 66 is fixedly installed on one side of the sliding block 65, and the handle 66 extends out of the first limiting groove 68. The first limiting groove 68 on the side plate 67 cooperates with the handle 66, providing the operator with a convenient operating component and limiting guide for adjusting the sliding block 65. The handle 66 allows the operator to easily push the sliding block 65 to move, making the operation labor-saving and convenient.

[0023] Working principle: Before slicing Chinese medicinal materials, the feed inlet 5 needs to be adjusted according to the specifications of the materials to be processed. The operator can hold the handle 66 and push it along the first limiting groove 68 on the side plate 67, causing the sliding block 65 to slide on the guide rod 63 inside the fixed shell 6. When the sliding block 65 moves, the two sets of sliding rods 64 connected to it will slide synchronously along the through hole of the support plate 62, thereby pushing the adjusting block 61 to extend into or retract from the feed inlet 5, so as to achieve precise adjustment of the opening size of the feed inlet 5. After the adjustment is completed, tighten the fixing bolt 69 on the sliding block 65 so that the end of the bolt fits tightly against the outer wall of the fixed shell 6, and use friction to position the sliding block 65, ensuring that the adjusting block 61 maintains a stable position during operation. To meet the slicing requirements of different medicinal materials, the blade 31 can be adjusted to suit the processing requirements. Loosen the bolt 33 in the U-shaped connecting groove 32 on the back of the blade 31, and the installation position of the blade 31 on the rotating wheel 3 can be finely adjusted along the extension direction of the U-shaped groove, or the included angle between the blade 31 and the end face of the rotating wheel 3 can be adjusted, thereby changing the slicing thickness or adapting to the cutting requirements of medicinal materials with different textures. After adjustment, tighten the bolt 33 again to fix the blade 31. During formal operation, the protective cover 11 is first flipped to completely cover the rotating wheel 3 for safety protection. Then, the Chinese medicinal materials to be processed are continuously pushed in through the adjusted feed port 5. The motor 21 is started, and the output shaft of the motor 21 drives the drive wheel 22 to rotate. Through the meshing transmission of the synchronous belt 23, the drive wheel 22 drives the linkage wheel 2 and the connecting rod 14 fixedly connected to it to rotate synchronously. The connecting rod 14 rotates stably under the support of the bearings 16 on both sides of the limit tube 13, which in turn drives the rotating wheel 3 at the end to rotate at high speed around the connecting rod 14. The four sets of blades 31 on the rotating wheel 3 rotate synchronously with it. When the medicinal materials are inserted from the feed port 5, the high-speed rotating blades 31 will continuously cut the medicinal materials. The cut slices fall into the slicer body 1 under the action of gravity and are finally discharged through the discharge hopper 15 at the bottom, completing the entire slicing process.
