Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of Chinese medicinal material processing, and in particular to an intelligent Chinese medicinal material drying structure. Background Art

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine mainly originated in China. It is a drug used to prevent, diagnose, treat diseases or regulate human body treatment under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theory. Most of them are herbal medicines, but there are also animal medicines, mineral medicines and some chemical and biological products. Traditional Chinese medicine is divided into Chinese patent medicine and Chinese medicinal materials according to the processing technology. Half of the traditional Chinese medicinal materials pay attention to authentic medicinal materials, which refer to medicinal materials produced in a region with certain natural conditions and ecological environment. Because the production is relatively concentrated, the cultivation technology, harvesting and processing are also certain, so that the quality and efficacy are better than the same medicinal materials produced in other regions. When Chinese medicinal materials are used, they will be processed, and the most important step before processing is to dry the medicinal materials. Drying of Chinese medicinal materials is to dehydrate the Chinese medicinal materials and maintain their original ingredients and medicinal properties. Drying is to allow Chinese medicinal materials to be preserved for a long time.
