Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of equipment for producing Chinese herbal medicine slices, and in particular to a slicing device for Chinese herbal medicine slices. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction pieces, slicing is a crucial production step, and the separation and screening operations after slicing directly affect the quality and subsequent use of the decoction pieces. Traditional TCM decoction piece slicing equipment often lacks an efficient mechanism for separating slices from residue. Debris generated during the slicing process easily mixes with qualified decoction pieces, increasing the workload of manual screening and potentially leading to substandard purity and reduced efficacy. Furthermore, existing equipment largely relies on manual intervention for material handling and collection, resulting in low automation and production efficiency that struggles to meet the growing market demand.

[0003] Therefore, we propose a device for slicing Chinese herbal medicine. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a slicing device for Chinese herbal medicine slices. In order to prevent insufficient purity of the slices due to the mixing of debris and slices, as well as the high cost and low efficiency of manual screening, and to avoid the risk of contamination that may be introduced by frequent manual operation, the device can improve the quality stability and production efficiency of Chinese herbal medicine slices and effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A traditional Chinese medicine slicing device includes a frame, a fixed frame fixedly connected to one end of the frame, a rotating frame rotatably connected to the fixed frame, a plurality of sieving troughs on the rotating frame, a sieve mesh communicating with the inner cavity of the rotating frame inside the sieving trough, a chip discharge port communicating with the inner cavity of the rotating frame at one end of the rotating frame, a toggle assembly in each of the plurality of sieving troughs, the toggle assembly including a rotating shaft, a lever and a first motor, a gear ring fixedly connected to the end of the rotating frame near the chip discharge port, a second motor fixedly mounted on the fixed frame, a gear fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor, the gear meshing with the gear ring.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliced ​​Chinese medicinal herbs slide into the rotating frame via the feeding inclined plate. Then, the second motor is started, and the output shaft of the second motor drives the gear to rotate. Since the gear meshes with the gear ring on the rotating frame, it drives the rotating frame to rotate on the fixed frame. At the same time, the first motor is started, and the first motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn causes the lever to rotate. The lever moves the Chinese medicinal herbs in the sieve trough. Under the movement of the lever, the Chinese medicinal herbs continuously tumble and move in the sieve trough, avoiding accumulation. At the same time, the screen can keep the Chinese medicinal herbs in the sieve trough, and the debris produced by slicing will fall into the inner cavity of the rotating frame through the screen, realizing efficient separation of slices and residue, and ensuring the purity of the herbs in the sieve trough.

[0008] When the rotating frame is rotated to the appropriate position, the Chinese herbal medicine pieces in the screening trough will enter the subsequent collection container under their own gravity.

[0009] Furthermore, the inner cavity of the rotating frame is inclined, and the lowest point is located at the chip discharge port, which has a trumpet-shaped structure.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, after the Chinese herbal medicine slices enter the inner cavity of the rotating rack, due to the inclination of the inner cavity and the lowest point of the chip discharge port, the slices will move towards the chip discharge port under their own gravity; at the same time, the trumpet-shaped chip discharge port can guide the slices out more smoothly, avoid the slices from accumulating at the chip discharge port, and improve the efficiency and smoothness of chip discharge.

[0011] Furthermore, the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner walls of both ends of the screening trough, and multiple levers are provided. The levers are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft and arranged at equal distances. A first motor for driving the rotating shaft is fixedly installed at the end of the rotating frame away from the chip discharge port.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the first motor is started, and the output shaft of the first motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate. The rotating shaft then drives multiple equally spaced levers to rotate. During the rotation, the levers will move the Chinese herbal medicine pieces in the sieve trough, so that the pieces can be more evenly distributed in the sieve trough, which is convenient for subsequent sieving through the sieve.

[0013] Furthermore, a reinforcing rib is fixedly connected between the bottom end of the fixed frame and one end of the machine frame, and baffles are provided on both sides of the top of the machine frame.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the reinforcing ribs enhance the stability of the connection between the fixed frame and the machine frame, enabling the fixed frame to more firmly support components such as the rotating frame and preventing the fixed frame from loosening due to vibration or other factors during operation. Meanwhile, the baffles on both sides of the top of the machine frame can block the Chinese herbal medicine slices on the conveyor belt, preventing them from falling off during transport and ensuring that the slices are accurately conveyed to subsequent processing stages.

[0015] Furthermore, one end of the frame is provided with a feeding ramp, and the rotating frame is located directly below the feeding ramp.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the Chinese herbal medicine slices to be processed fall from above and, guided by the feeding inclined plate, can accurately slide into the rotating frame located directly below, realizing the smooth feeding of the slices and allowing them to enter the rotating frame for subsequent screening, discharge and other operations.

[0017] Furthermore, a conveyor belt is provided on the inner side of the baffle plate, and a slicing mechanism is provided at the top of the frame.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the conveyor belt is used to transport the Chinese herbal medicine slices to be sliced, and the baffle plate prevents the slices from slipping off the side during the transport process. When the slices are transported to the slicing mechanism, the slicing mechanism processes the slices. The processed slices are then transported to subsequent rotating frames and other components for sieving, discharge, and other operations, thereby completing the entire slicing process of Chinese herbal medicine slices.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] (1) This utility model discloses a slicing device for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. Through the cooperation of a sieve and a rotating component, it can quickly and effectively separate the sliced ​​traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces from the dregs after slicing. The sieve can intercept the traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, allowing the debris generated during slicing to fall into the inner cavity of the rotating frame through the sieve, avoiding the mixing of debris and decoction pieces, significantly improving the purity of the decoction pieces in the sieve trough, ensuring the quality of the traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, and reducing the cost and time of subsequent manual screening.

[0021] (2) This utility model provides a slicing device for Chinese herbal medicine. It utilizes a second motor to drive a rotating frame to rotate, and a first motor to drive a lever to move the Chinese herbal medicine slices. The entire separation and screening process does not require much manual intervention and achieves automated operation. At the same time, when the rotating frame rotates to the appropriate position, the Chinese herbal medicine slices in the screening trough will automatically enter the collection container under their own gravity, which greatly improves production efficiency and meets the needs of large-scale production of Chinese herbal medicine slices.

[0027] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0028] To prevent insufficient purity of medicinal herbs due to the mixing of debris and raw materials, and to address the high costs and low efficiency of manual screening, while also avoiding the risk of contamination from frequent manual handling, thereby improving the quality stability and production efficiency of Chinese medicinal herbs, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a traditional Chinese medicine slicing device includes a frame 1, a fixed frame 2 fixedly connected to one end of the frame 1, a rotating frame 3 rotatably connected to the fixed frame 2, a plurality of sieving troughs 4 opened on the rotating frame 3, a screen 5 connected to the inner cavity of the rotating frame 3 inside the sieving trough 4, a chip discharge port 9 connected to the inner cavity of the rotating frame 3 at one end of the rotating frame 3, and a toggle assembly provided in each of the plurality of sieving troughs 4, the toggle assembly including a rotating shaft 6, a lever 7 and a first motor 8, a gear ring 10 fixedly connected to the end of the rotating frame 3 near the chip discharge port 9, a second motor 11 fixedly installed on the fixed frame 2, and a gear 12 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 11, the gear 12 meshing with the gear ring 10.

[0029] In use, the sliced ​​Chinese medicinal herbs slide into the rotating frame 3 via the feeding inclined plate 15. Then, the second motor 11 is started, and the output shaft of the second motor 11 drives the gear 12 to rotate. Since the gear 12 meshes with the gear ring 10 on the rotating frame 3, it drives the rotating frame 3 to rotate on the fixed frame 2. At the same time, the first motor 8 is started, and the first motor 8 drives the rotating shaft 6 to rotate, which in turn causes the lever 7 to rotate. The lever 7 moves the Chinese medicinal herbs in the sieve trough 4. Under the movement of the lever 7, the Chinese medicinal herbs continuously tumble and move in the sieve trough 4 to avoid accumulation. At the same time, the screen 5 can keep the Chinese medicinal herbs in the sieve trough 4, and the debris produced by slicing will fall into the inner cavity of the rotating frame 3 through the screen 5, realizing efficient separation of slices and dregs, and ensuring the purity of the herbs in the sieve trough 4.

[0030] When the rotating frame 3 is rotated to the appropriate position, the Chinese herbal medicine pieces in the screening trough 4 will enter the subsequent collection container under their own gravity.

[0031] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the present invention also includes that the inner cavity of the rotating frame 3 is inclined and the lowest point is located at the chip discharge port 9, which is a trumpet-shaped structure.

[0032] When in use, after the Chinese herbal medicine slices enter the inner cavity of the rotating rack 3, due to the inclination of the inner cavity and the lowest point of the chip discharge port 9, the slices will move towards the chip discharge port 9 under their own gravity; at the same time, the trumpet-shaped chip discharge port 9 can guide the slices out more smoothly, avoid the slices from accumulating at the chip discharge port 9, and improve the efficiency and smoothness of chip discharge.

[0033] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the present invention also includes the following: the rotating shaft 6 is rotatably connected to the inner walls of both ends of the screening trough 4; multiple levers 7 are provided; the levers 7 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 6 and arranged at equal distances; and a first motor 8 for driving the rotating shaft 6 is fixedly installed at the end of the rotating frame 3 away from the chip discharge port 9.

[0034] When in use, the first motor 8 is started. The output shaft of the first motor 8 drives the rotating shaft 6 to rotate. The rotating shaft 6 then drives multiple equally spaced levers 7 to rotate. During the rotation, the levers 7 will move the Chinese herbal medicine pieces in the sieve trough 4, so that the pieces can be more evenly distributed in the sieve trough 4, which is convenient for subsequent screening through the sieve 5.

[0035] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the present invention also includes a reinforcing rib 13 fixedly connected between the bottom end of the fixed frame 2 and one end of the frame 1, and baffle plates 14 are provided on both sides of the top of the frame 1.

[0036] During use, the reinforcing rib 13 enhances the stability of the connection between the fixed frame 2 and the machine frame 1, enabling the fixed frame 2 to more firmly support components such as the rotating frame 3, and preventing the fixed frame 2 from loosening due to vibration or other factors during operation. Meanwhile, the baffles 14 on both sides of the top of the machine frame 1 act as barriers to prevent the medicinal herbs from falling off the conveyor belt during transport, ensuring that the herbs are accurately conveyed to subsequent processing stages.

[0037] For example, such as Figure 1 Figure 3 As shown, the present invention also includes a feeding sloping plate 15 at one end of the frame 1, and the rotating frame 3 is located directly below the feeding sloping plate 15.

[0038] In use, the Chinese herbal medicine slices to be processed fall from above and, guided by the feeding inclined plate 15, can accurately slide into the rotating frame 3 located directly below it, so as to realize the smooth feeding of the slices and allow them to enter the rotating frame 3 for subsequent screening, discharge and other operations.

[0039] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the present invention also includes a conveyor belt 16 provided on the inner side of the baffle plate 14, and a slicing mechanism 17 provided at the top of the frame 1.

[0040] In use, the conveyor belt 16 is used to transport the Chinese herbal medicine slices to be sliced, and the baffle plate 14 prevents the slices from slipping off the side during transport. When the slices are transported to the slicing mechanism 17, the slicing mechanism 17 processes the slices. The processed slices are then transported to subsequent components such as the rotating frame 3 for sieving and discharge, thus completing the entire slicing process of the Chinese herbal medicine slices.

[0041] It should be noted that this utility model is a Chinese herbal medicine slicing device. One end of the frame 1 is fixedly connected to a fixed frame 2 with enhanced stability by reinforcing ribs 13. A rotating frame 3 with multiple screening grooves 4 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 2. The screening grooves 4 are provided with screens 5 that communicate with the inner cavity of the rotating frame 3. One end of the rotating frame 3 is provided with a trumpet-shaped chip discharge port 9. The actuating components in each screening groove 4 include a rotating shaft 6, a lever 7 and a first motor 8. The toothed ring 10 of the rotating frame 3 near the chip discharge port 9 meshes with a gear 12 connected to the output shaft of the second motor 11 on the fixed frame 2. During operation, the sliced ​​medicinal slices slide into the rotating frame 3 via the feeding inclined plate 15. The second motor 11 is started to drive the rotating frame 3 to rotate. At the same time, the first motor 8 drives the lever 7 to move the medicinal slices to tumble and move in the sieve trough 4. The sieve 5 separates the medicinal slices from the debris. The debris is discharged from the chip discharge port 9 through the inclined inner cavity. When the rotating frame 3 rotates to the appropriate position, the medicinal slices enter the collection container under the action of gravity. This device, through the cooperation of components such as the baffle plates 14 on both sides of the top of the frame 1, the conveyor belt 16, and the slicing mechanism 17, realizes the automated and efficient operation of slicing, sieving, and chip discharge of medicinal slices.
