[0006] In one embodiment, the adaptation component includes a movable frame symmetrically arranged inside the fixed frame. Several grooves are formed on the opposite sidewalls of the two movable frames. Springs are arranged inside the grooves, and the ends of the springs are connected to connecting rods. A positioning frame is provided at the ends of the connecting rods.
[0007] In one embodiment, the internal rotation of the plurality of positioning frames is provided with rollers.
[0008] In one embodiment, symmetrically spaced grooves are formed on the inner walls of the plurality of grooves, and symmetrically spaced blocks are provided on the side walls of the connecting rod inside the grooves. The slidable blocks are slidably disposed inside the slidable grooves.

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0018] The following is combined with Figures 1-5 This invention describes a medicine cutting machine with positioning function.
[0019] In one embodiment, a medicine cutting machine with positioning function includes: a medicine cutting machine body 100, which is composed of a feeding hopper 101, a discharging hopper 102, a conveying mechanism 104, a cutting mechanism 105 and a medicine cutting machine host 106. The top of the inner shell of the medicine cutting machine host 106 is provided with a mounting groove 103, and a positioning mechanism 200 for feeding and positioning medicinal materials is provided inside the mounting groove 103. like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the positioning mechanism 200 includes a fixing frame 201, a positioning component 202, and an adaptation component 207. The fixing frame 201 is respectively disposed inside the mounting groove 103, the positioning component 202 is respectively disposed inside the fixing frame 201, and the adaptation component 207 is disposed inside the positioning component 202, for clamping and positioning medicinal materials of different shapes. The adaptation component 207 includes a movable frame 204, which is symmetrically arranged inside the fixed frame 201. Several grooves 208 are provided on the opposite side walls of the two sets of movable frames 204. Springs 210 are provided inside the grooves 208. The ends of the springs 210 are connected to the connecting rods 212. Positioning frames 213 are provided at the ends of the connecting rods 212. Rollers 214 are rotatably arranged inside the multiple positioning frames 213. In this embodiment, a spring 210 is provided inside the groove 208. The end of the spring 210 is connected to the connecting rod 212. A positioning frame 213 is provided at the end of the connecting rod 212. A roller 214 is rotatably provided at the end of the positioning frame 213. When the moving frame 204 is pushed by the electric telescopic rod 203 to clamp and position the medicinal material, multiple rollers 214 contact the side wall of the medicinal material first. During the process of being pushed by the electric telescopic rod 203, the positioning frame 213 presses the connecting rod 212 into the groove 208, so that the roller 214 always rotates along the side wall of the medicinal material under the action of the spring 210, so as to meet the requirement of clamping and positioning medicinal materials with different shapes. like Figure 5 As shown, the inner walls of multiple grooves 208 are symmetrically provided with limiting grooves 209, and the connecting rod 212 is symmetrically provided with limiting blocks 211 on the side wall inside the groove 208. The limiting blocks 211 are slidably disposed inside the limiting grooves 209, and the ends of the limiting grooves 209 do not penetrate the side wall of the moving frame 204. In this embodiment, a limiting groove 209 is formed on the inner wall of the groove 208. The inner wall of the limiting groove 209 is slidably connected to the limiting block 211 provided on the side wall of the connecting rod 212. The end of the limiting groove 209 is not connected to the side wall of the moving frame 204. The limiting block 211 slides inside the limiting groove 209 to limit the movement direction of the connecting rod 212 being squeezed into the groove 208 by the positioning frame 213, and at the same time prevent the connecting rod 212 from falling out of the groove 208. like Figure 4 As shown, the positioning component 202 includes an electric telescopic rod 203. The bottom end of the electric telescopic rod 203 is symmetrically arranged inside the two sets of fixed frames 201. The working end of the electric telescopic rod 203 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the movable frame 204. The positioning component 202 has guide grooves 205 on the inner walls of both sides of the movable frame 204, and the ends of the guide rods 206 on the side walls of both sides of the movable frame 204 are slidably disposed inside the guide grooves 205. In this embodiment, an electric telescopic rod 203 is provided inside the two sets of fixed frames 201, and the ends of the electric telescopic rod 203 are fixedly installed with the movable frame 204 respectively. When it is necessary to clamp and position the medicinal material, the controller inside the main unit 106 of the herb cutter controls the electric telescopic rod 203 to start, push the two sets of movable frames 204 to clamp and position the medicinal material, and ensure that the roller 214 at the end of the positioning frame 213 contacts the outer wall of the medicinal material to clamp and position the medicinal material. like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the cutting mechanism 105 is located above the main body 106 of the medicine cutting machine, the conveying mechanism 104 is located inside the main body 106 of the medicine cutting machine, the discharge hopper 102 is located on the side wall of the main body 106 of the medicine cutting machine in the forward direction of the conveying mechanism 104, the feed hopper 101 is located on the other side wall of the main body 106 of the medicine cutting machine, and the positioning mechanism 200 is located between the cutting mechanism 105 and the feed hopper 101.
[0020] Working principle: After the worker places the medicinal materials into the feed hopper 101, the main unit 106 of the herb cutting machine starts the electric telescopic rod 203. The two sets of electric telescopic rods 203 push the two sets of moving frames 204 to move simultaneously to clamp the medicinal materials. During the process of the moving frame 204 being pushed, the roller 214 first contacts the side wall of the medicinal materials. During the process of the electric telescopic rod 203 being pushed, the connecting rod 212 is squeezed into the interior of the groove 208. Under the action of the spring 210, the roller 214 is always pressed against the side wall of the medicinal materials to achieve positioning of the medicinal materials. Since several connecting rods 212 can compress the spring 210 according to the shape of the outer wall of the medicinal material, the medicinal material will not fall between the rollers 214, thus affecting the positioning of the medicinal material.
[0021] Additional notes: The model of the main body of the herb cutter 100 can be: QWZL-300D; The herb cutter body 100 in this application includes, but is not limited to, the following structures: The frame is the basic supporting structure of the medicine cutting machine, consisting of a base plate, columns, beams, and a top cover.
