TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] As a precious medicinal plant, the drying process of under-forest ginseng has a great impact on quality. It is necessary to retain effective ingredients while ensuring uniform dehydration and avoiding component loss, morphological deformation and local mold due to improper drying. At present, the existing under-forest ginseng drying technology mainly has the following problems: 1. Single drying method, poor uniformity: the existing drying equipment mainly relies on single hot air drying or static airing. Among them, when single hot air drying, the hot air distribution is uneven, which easily leads to local over-heating of under-forest ginseng, rapid water loss, and difficulty in internal diffusion, forming the phenomenon of "outer dry and inner wet", affecting the drying quality; static airing completely depends on the natural environment, and the fluctuation of temperature and humidity significantly affects the drying effect, the drying period is long and local mold is easy to appear, which is difficult to meet the efficiency and stability requirements of modern large-scale production.
[0003] 2. Improper initial water treatment, affecting system stability: fresh under-forest ginseng often has a large amount of free water on the surface, and the existing equipment does not have a targeted pretreatment device. These water will quickly evaporate in the initial drying stage, causing the humidity in the drying chamber to rise sharply, disturbing the temperature and humidity balance, increasing the system control load, and even causing local rot of under-forest ginseng due to local water accumulation, reducing the pass rate of finished products.
[0004] 3. Fixed placement of materials, insufficient contact: the material placing rack of the existing drying equipment is mainly of fixed structure, and the placement angle of under-forest ginseng cannot be adjusted, which leads to insufficient contact of some areas with the drying medium (hot air, steam, etc.), especially for irregularly shaped under-forest ginseng, which is prone to local incomplete drying, and needs secondary drying, increasing production cost.

[0031] As shown in Figures 1-7As shown, the bottom of the drying box 1 is uniformly provided with support columns 13, and the steam generation box 41 is located inside the support columns 13. The support columns 13 support the drying box 1, so that the steam generation box 41 has sufficient installation and working space. The drying box 1 is provided with a controller 14.

[0034] 3. Multi-mode cooperative drying First stage: microwave dominated dehydration (moisture content 60%-45%, 2-3h) In this stage, the initial moisture content of the forest-grown ginseng is high. The controller 14 starts the microwave generator 10 to rapidly evaporate the internal moisture. At the same time, the steam drying device 4 is started. The steam heater 42 maintains the output of 40℃ low-temperature steam. The steam is sent into the drying chamber 6 through the air blower 43.

[0036] Third stage: hot air dominated deep dehydration (moisture content 25%-12%, 2-3h) When the moisture content drops to 25%, enter the low-temperature shaping stage: the steam drying device 4 reduces the output and only maintains the humidity in the drying chamber 6 at 30%-40%; the electric heating tube box 22 of the circulating drying device 2 is adjusted to 45-50℃, and the circulating fan 21 is speeded up to remove residual moisture through strong convection hot air, realize low-temperature deep dehydration, and avoid the deterioration of forest ginseng caused by high temperature; the microwave generator 10 is intermittently operated at a low power of 100-200W (pause for 5 minutes every 10 minutes), which uses weak microwave energy to inhibit the internal moisture from gathering and ensure the uniformity of drying.
[0037] 4. Intelligent monitoring The controller 14 monitors the temperature and humidity in real time, automatically adjusts the hot air temperature, steam volume and microwave power. At the same time, the drying process can be periodically adjusted to ensure uniformity.
[0038] 5. Completion and material taking After drying, all devices are turned off.
[0039] Pull out the drying cart and transfer it to the material trolley 12 to complete the batch material taking.
