The invention discloses cam type traditional Chinese medicine drying equipment. The cam type traditional Chinese medicine drying equipment comprises a box, a containing frame, a spring, an electric heating element, a motor, a first rotation shaft, a fan, a second rotation shaft, a cam, a first bevel gear, an annular bevel gear ring, a second bevel gear, a third rotation shaft and a fan plate. Through the arrangement of the motor, the first rotation shaft, the second rotation shaft, the cam, the spring, the first bevel gear and the annular bevel gear ring, through cooperation of the above components, the fan is driven to rotate, meanwhile, the containing frame is driven to swing in the circumferential direction, the swinging amplitude is large, traditional Chinese medicines in the containing frame are constantly overturned, the traditional Chinese medicines are heated more evenly and sufficiently, and the drying efficiency is improved; the second bevel gear, the third rotation shaft andthe fan plate are arranged, the first bevel gear drives the third rotation shaft to rotate through the second bevel gear, the third rotation shaft drives the fan plate to rotate, the fan plate conducts all-direction ring-direction fanning on the traditional Chinese medicines in the containing frame, the drying speed is increased, and the drying efficiency is further improved.
