Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of herbal slicing technology, and specifically discloses an epimedium slicer. Background Technology

[0002] Epimedium, also known as Xianlingpi or Gangqian, is listed as a medium-grade herb in the *Shennong Bencao Jing* (Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica). It has the effects of tonifying kidney yang, strengthening tendons and bones, and dispelling wind and dampness. It is used for impotence and seminal emission caused by kidney yang deficiency, weakness of tendons and bones, rheumatic pain, numbness, and contractures, and is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine in clinical practice. China is the geographical distribution center of Epimedium, with 40 varieties. Of these, 15 are the main species used in the commercial medicinal materials. Among them, *E. brevicornum* Maxim., *E. pubescens* Maxim., *E. sagittatum* Maxim., and *E. koreanum* Nakai are included as the main original species in the 2015 edition of the *Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China*.

[0003] Existing slicers lack a design for directional conveying of Epimedium stems and leaves, resulting in material accumulation deviation and uneven slice thickness. At the same time, due to the high toughness of Epimedium fibers, conventional conveyor belts and blades are prone to wear and adhesion, requiring frequent shutdowns for cleaning, which affects production efficiency and the quality of the slices. Therefore, an Epimedium slicer is needed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model proposes an Epimedium slicer, which achieves efficient and precise slicing of Epimedium stems and leaves through the coordinated clamping and conveying of the triangular second conveyor belt and the first conveyor belt, combined with the crankshaft-connecting rod-slide rod linkage cutting mechanism.

Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in this invention are conventional methods; the raw materials and apparatus used, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-3 An epimedium slicer includes a support 1. The inner wall of the support 1 is provided with a conveying mechanism and a slicing mechanism. The conveying mechanism includes a first conveyor belt 2 installed on the inner wall of the support 1 and a second conveyor belt 3 installed on the inner wall of the support 1 above the first conveyor belt 2. The second conveyor belt 3 is triangular in shape.

[0022] The slicing mechanism includes a crankshaft 4 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support 1 and located above the first conveyor belt 2. A drive motor 5 with its output end fixedly connected to the crankshaft 4 is installed on the outer wall of the support 1. A connecting rod 6 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the crankshaft 4. Two symmetrically distributed slide rods 8 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support 1 through ear plates 7. A slide plate 9 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the two slide rods 8. A cutting blade 10 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the slide plate 9.

[0023] In this embodiment: Epimedium stems and leaves are evenly spread on the first conveyor belt 2. The second conveyor belt 3 is arranged in a triangle and works with the first conveyor belt 2 to clamp the stems and leaves and transport them directionally to the cutting area. The drive motor 5 drives the crankshaft 4 to rotate, and through the connecting rod 6 drives the slide plate 9 to move up and down along the slide bar 8, so that the cutting blade 10 continuously slices the stems and leaves. The cooperation between the first conveyor belt 2 and the triangular second conveyor belt 3 achieves the directional and stable transport of the stems and leaves. The crankshaft-connecting rod-slide bar linkage mechanism drives the cutting blade 10 to move precisely vertically back and forth, ensuring that the slice thickness is uniform. The overall structure is compact and reasonable. It can efficiently complete the continuous slicing of Epimedium stems and leaves without the need for an additional clamping device. It has the advantages of stable transport, precise cutting, simple structure, and strong adaptability. It is particularly suitable for the standardized processing needs of small and medium-sized Epimedium slices.

[0024] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the included angle between the second conveyor belt 3 and the first conveyor belt 2 is 30°-45°.

[0025] In this embodiment, the angle between the second conveyor belt 3 and the first conveyor belt 2 is set to 30°-45°, which can effectively clamp the Epimedium stems and leaves of different thicknesses and guide them to be transported in a directional manner, while avoiding excessive squeezing that could damage the medicinal materials.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the first conveyor belt 2 is a stainless steel chain conveyor belt.

[0027] In this embodiment, the first conveyor belt 2 is set as a stainless steel chain conveyor belt, which has the characteristics of wear resistance, rust prevention, strong load-bearing capacity and easy cleaning. Its high strength and wear resistance can effectively resist the accidental impact of the cutting blade 10 and prevent the conveyor belt from being damaged during long-term cutting operations.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a collection box 11 is movably provided at the right end of the bracket 1.

[0029] In this embodiment, a collection box 11 is movably installed at the right end of the support 1 to facilitate quick loading, unloading, and centralized storage of the cut Epimedium slices, thereby improving production efficiency and keeping the work site clean.

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the surface of the cutting blade 10 is coated with a polytetrafluoroethylene coating.

[0031] In this embodiment: coating the surface of the cutting blade 10 with a polytetrafluoroethylene coating can significantly reduce the adhesion rate of Epimedium fibers, keep the blade clean, extend the continuous working time, and ensure stable slice quality.

[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a controller is provided on the outer wall of the bracket 1, and the drive motor 5 is electrically connected to the controller.

[0033] In this embodiment, the controller can control the drive motor 5 to work normally.

[0034] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: During use, the stems and leaves of Epimedium are evenly laid on the first conveyor belt 2. The second conveyor belt 3 is arranged in a triangle, cooperating with the first conveyor belt 2 to clamp the stems and leaves and directionally transport them to the cutting area. The drive motor 5 drives the crankshaft 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the slide plate 9 to reciprocate up and down along the slide bar 8 via the connecting rod 6, causing the cutting blade 10 to continuously slice the stems and leaves. The cooperation between the first conveyor belt 2 and the triangular second conveyor belt 3 achieves stable directional transport of the stems and leaves. The crankshaft-connecting rod-slide bar linkage mechanism drives the cutting blade 10 to precisely reciprocate vertically, ensuring uniform slice thickness. The overall structure is compact and reasonable, requiring no additional clamping device to efficiently complete the continuous slicing of Epimedium stems and leaves. It has advantages such as stable transport, precise cutting, simple structure, and strong adaptability, making it particularly suitable for the standardized processing needs of small and medium-sized Epimedium slices.
