DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0033] Embodiment 1:

[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 A drying device for preparing traditional Chinese medicine includes a base plate 1, and also includes: a support ring 101 symmetrically fixedly connected to the base plate 1; a drying cylinder 2, rotatably connected to the support ring 101, and a plurality of paddle plates 204, equidistantly fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drying cylinder 2; a cover plate 201, detachably connected to the drying cylinder 2; a rotating shaft 4, rotatably connected to the support ring 101, and passing through the drying cylinder 2; a plurality of paddle plates 401 are provided, and the plurality of paddle plates 401 are equidistantly fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 4, and each group of paddle plates 401 is equidistantly provided with a plurality of paddle plates 401.

[0035] A rotating shaft 301 is rotatably connected to the support ring 101, a gear 302 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 301, a gear ring 303 is fixedly connected to the drying cylinder 2, the gear ring 303 is meshed with the gear 302, a motor 3 is fixedly installed on the support ring 101, and the rotating shaft 301 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 3.

[0036] The rotating shaft 4 and the rotation shaft 301 are both fixedly connected with pulleys, and the two pulleys are connected by a belt 402 .

[0037] It also includes a plurality of fixing bolts 202 , through which the cover plate 201 is detachably connected to the drying drum 2 .

[0038] When drying Chinese medicinal materials, first pour the Chinese medicinal materials to be dried into the drying drum 2, then cover the cover plate 201 for closing the drying drum 2, and then install the fixing bolts 202 for limiting and fixing the cover plate 201, so as to improve the stability of the cover plate 201 covered on the drying drum 2.

[0039] When the Chinese medicinal materials are heated and dried, the motor 3 is started, and the motor 3 drives the rotating shaft 301 to rotate. When the rotating shaft 301 rotates, the gear 302 is meshed with the gear ring 303 to drive the drying drum 2 to rotate. When the drying drum 2 rotates, the Chinese medicinal materials are constantly turned over in the drying drum 2 and fully contacted with the hot air, thereby improving the drying efficiency. At the same time, the drying drum 2 drives the paddle 1 204 to rotate, so that when the paddle 1 204 rotates, the Chinese medicinal materials in the drying drum 2 are constantly turned over and thrown up, thereby making all parts of the Chinese medicinal materials fully contact with the hot air, thereby improving the drying efficiency and uniformity. At the same time, the rotating shaft 301 drives the rotating shaft 4 to rotate through the belt 402, and the rotating shaft 4 drives the paddle 2 401 to rotate, so that the Chinese medicinal materials are better turned over in the drying drum 2 under the paddle 2 401, thereby making the Chinese medicinal materials more evenly heated and dried in the drying drum 2, avoiding local overheating or insufficient drying, thereby ensuring the consistency of product quality.

[0040] Embodiment 2:

[0041] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , a drying device for preparing traditional Chinese medicine, which is basically the same as Example 1, and further, a piston cylinder 5 and a heating box 6 are fixedly connected to the substrate 1, a piston disk 502 is slidably connected in the piston cylinder 5, a piston rod 501 is rotatably connected to the piston disk 502, a crankshaft 505 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 301, the crankshaft 505 is rotatably connected to the piston rod 501, a conduit 1 503 and a conduit 2 504 are fixedly connected to the piston cylinder 5, the piston cylinder 5 is connected to the heating box 6 through the conduit 2 504, a hollow cavity 604 is opened on the rotating shaft 4, an air jet hole 605 connected to the hollow cavity 604 is opened on the rotating shaft 4, an air supply pipe 603 is fixedly connected to the heating box 6, the air supply pipe 603 is connected to the hollow cavity 604 through a rotary joint, and the rotary joint is arranged on the rotating shaft 4.

[0042] A plurality of partitions 601 are staggered and fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the heating box 6 , a heating chamber is formed between two adjacent partitions 601 , and an electric heating wire 602 is fixedly installed on the partition 601 .

[0043] A dehumidification box 7 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1, and a desiccant layer 701 and an activated carbon filter plate 702 are arranged in the dehumidification box 7. The piston cylinder 5 is connected to the dehumidification box 7 through a conduit 1 503. An air suction chamber 704 connected to the drying cylinder 2 is opened on the cover plate 201. A pipe 703 is fixedly connected to the dehumidification box 7. The pipe 703 is connected to the air suction chamber 704 through a rotary joint, and the rotary joint is arranged on the cover plate 201.

[0044] Heating method of drying drum 2:

[0045] The rotating shaft 301 during the rotation process drives the crankshaft 505 to rotate, and the crankshaft 505 drives the piston plate 502 to slide up and down in the piston cylinder 5 through the piston rod 501, thereby forming a piston movement. Therefore, when the piston plate 502 slides upward in the piston cylinder 5, external gas is sucked into the piston cylinder 5 through the conduit 1 503, and when the piston plate 502 slides downward in the piston cylinder 5, the gas is squeezed by the piston plate 502 and discharged from the piston cylinder 5 through the conduit 2 504, and is transported to the heating box 6 through the conduit 2 504 for heating. Both the conduit 1 503 and the conduit 2 504 are provided with a one-way valve, and then the heated gas is transported into the hollow cavity 604 through the gas pipe 603, and finally sprayed into the drying cylinder 2 through the jet hole 605, so that it heats and dries the Chinese medicinal materials in the drying cylinder 2;

[0046] At the same time, when the gas passes through the heating box 6, the gas is heated by the electric heating wire 602. At the same time, a plurality of partitions 601 are staggered on the inner walls of both sides of the heating box 6, so that the time for the gas to pass through the heating box 6 can be extended, thereby helping the electric heating wire 602 to fully heat the gas passing through the heating box 6;

[0047] When the Chinese medicinal materials are heated and dried by blowing hot air into the drying cylinder 2, the hot air is converted into moist hot air after absorbing the moisture of the Chinese medicinal materials. The moist hot air contains a large amount of heat absorbed during the drying process. When the piston disc 502 slides upward in the piston cylinder 5, the suction chamber 704 generates a negative pressure, thereby sucking the hot air in the drying cylinder 2 into the suction chamber 704, and then transporting it into the dehumidification box 7 through the pipeline 703. A one-way valve is provided on the pipeline 703. When the moist hot air passes through the dehumidification box 7, it first contacts the desiccant layer 701. Since the desiccant raw materials include silica gel, quicklime, minerals, montmorillonite, calcium chloride, molecular sieves, alumina, fiber, biochemical, etc., and the desiccant layer 701 in the present invention uses silica gel desiccant (transparent round beads), since silica gel desiccant is an environmentally friendly, non-toxic and moisture-proof product, When the hot and humid air contacts with the silica gel desiccant, the silica gel desiccant can absorb the moisture in the hot and humid air, thereby playing the role of drying the gas. Then, the hot and humid air after being dried once contacts with the activated carbon filter element plate 702 again. Since the activated carbon has a developed gap structure and rich microporous tissue inside, it can absorb the moisture in the steam into the micropores when the steam contacts with the activated carbon, so that it can dry the hot air again, thereby improving the drying effect of the hot and humid air. Then, the dried gas enters the piston cylinder 5 through the conduit 1 503, and then when the piston disc 502 slides downward in the piston cylinder 5, the gas is squeezed by the piston disc 502 and transported into the heating box 6 through the conduit 2 504, and then transported into the hollow cavity 604 through the gas pipe 603, and finally sprayed into the drying cylinder 2 through the jet hole 605 to form a cycle;

[0048] In summary, since the hot and humid air contains a large amount of heat absorbed during the drying process, the heat can be recycled by drying the hot and humid air and returning it to the drying drum 2, thereby reducing the additional energy input required to maintain the drying temperature, thereby reducing energy consumption;

[0049] The refluxed hot air can continuously provide the heat required for drying the Chinese medicinal materials, accelerate the evaporation of water in the Chinese medicinal materials, and due to the flow of hot air, the diffusion speed of moisture on the surface of the Chinese medicinal materials is accelerated, further improving the drying efficiency;

[0050] After the refluxed hot and humid air is dried, its humidity is reduced and its temperature is relatively stable, which helps to maintain the stability of the drying environment in the drying cylinder 2, so that the Chinese medicinal materials can always be in relatively dry conditions throughout the drying process, further improving the drying efficiency.

[0051] It should be noted that as the temperature continues to rise, the air pressure inside the drying cylinder 2 will gradually increase. Therefore, in order to prevent the pressure inside the drying cylinder 2 from being too high and causing safety hazards, a pressure relief pipe connected to the drying cylinder 2 may be provided on the cover plate 201, and a pressure relief valve (not shown in the figure) is provided on the pressure relief pipe. When the air pressure inside the drying cylinder 2 is greater than the pressure relief value set by the pressure relief valve on the pressure relief pipe, the pressure relief valve automatically opens to relieve the pressure, thereby keeping the pressure inside the drying cylinder 2 constant.

[0052] Embodiment 3:

[0053] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 , a drying device for preparing traditional Chinese medicine, which is basically the same as Example 1, and further, the desiccant layer 701 and the activated carbon filter plate 702 are both plugged into the dehumidification box 7;

[0054] By connecting the desiccant layer 701 and the activated carbon filter element plate 702 to the dehumidification box 7 in a manner that allows insertion and removal, the dehumidification box has the following advantages:

[0055] Convenient installation and disassembly: when the desiccant layer 701 and the activated carbon filter core plate 702 need to be replaced, the old desiccant layer 701 and the activated carbon filter core plate 702 can be easily pulled out from the dehumidification box 7, and then the new desiccant layer 701 and the activated carbon filter core plate 702 can be inserted, so that the maintenance and replacement of the desiccant layer 701 and the activated carbon filter core plate 702 become more convenient, and no complicated tools and operations are required;

[0056] High flexibility: According to different usage requirements, desiccant layers 701 and activated carbon filter plates 702 of different specifications, materials or filtering performances can be selected for plugging in, so as to adjust the dehumidification performance of the dehumidification box 7 to meet different work requirements.

[0057] Embodiment 4:

[0058] Reference Figure 1 , a drying device for preparing traditional Chinese medicine, which is basically the same as that of Example 1, and further, a sealing ring 203 is provided on the cover plate 201, and the sealing ring 203 is in contact with the inner wall of the drying cylinder 2;

[0059] When the Chinese medicinal materials are heated and dried, the sealing ring 203 is squeezed by the cover plate 201 to fit tightly against the inner wall of the drying cylinder 2, thereby increasing the sealing of the connection between the cover plate 201 and the drying cylinder 2 and preventing heat from being lost through the gap between the cover plate 201 and the drying cylinder 2, so that the drying cylinder 2 can reach the required drying temperature in a shorter time, and the sufficient internal heat can accelerate the evaporation of water in the Chinese medicinal materials, thereby increasing the drying speed.
