Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing equipment, in particular to a strip-shaped traditional Chinese medicine cutting device, a system and a cutting method.

Background

The traditional Chinese medicine is a medicine which is guided by the traditional Chinese medicine theory to collect, process and prepare and guide clinical application, has a long development history in China, and is one of the most valuable wealth with national characteristics in China.

The Chinese herbal medicines can be used after being processed into the Chinese herbal pieces, which is a distinct characteristic of the traditional Chinese medicine and is also a great characteristic of the traditional Chinese medicine. The processing of the traditional Chinese medicine roughly comprises three processes of cleaning, cutting and processing, wherein the cleaning refers to the cleaning of the medicinal materials which reach the quality standard of specified cleanliness by the processes of selecting, winnowing, water selecting, screening, shearing, scraping, removing, brushing, grinding, soaking, washing and the like; cutting means that the clean medicinal materials are softened and then cut, sheared, planed, lawrencil, split, smashed, and subjected to wool making to achieve certain thickness and granularity, and the cut medicinal materials need to be dried to facilitate storage; the processing refers to the process of preparing the medicine by using the clean medicinal materials and the clean tablets which are cleaned or cut, and adopting the specified processing technology according to the processing rule formulated by the traditional Chinese medicine theory.

The Chinese medicinal materials are rich and diverse in variety, 1 million medicinal plant raw materials exist at present in China, and nearly four hundred kinds of common large Chinese medicinal materials for large-scale cultivation and planting are realized. The processing technology of the traditional Chinese medicine is obviously different according to different medicine parts. For the traditional Chinese medicinal materials taking rhizome as the medicine part, the cutting conditions and the cutting modes of strip-shaped or stick-shaped medicinal materials such as astragalus, isatis root and rhubarb and other shapes of traditional Chinese medicinal materials such as blocks, leaves and the like are obviously different, so the decoction piece enterprises develop special cutting equipment for the strip-shaped or stick-shaped traditional Chinese medicinal materials and design matched cutting processes.

Patent CN106737906B discloses a strip chinese-medicinal material equidistance cutting device for medical treatment, this cutting device utilize the flat board will wait the chinese-medicinal material extrusion of cutting on the cutting bed, utilize the ratchet to promote the strip chinese-medicinal material to remove to the cutter direction in order simultaneously, utilize the vertical downstream of transmission system control cutter, and then cut off into batched strip chinese-medicinal material.
