Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of herbal medicine processing technology, specifically, to a drying device for processing traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology

[0002] Existing Chinese herbal medicine drying equipment generally suffers from uneven drying, unreasonable distribution of hot and humid airflow, and easy loss of effective components during practical application. Especially in the traditional static drying mode, hot air flows from bottom to top, causing water vapor to accumulate at the top of the equipment. The upper layer of herbs is in a high-humidity environment for a long time, while the lower layer of herbs is prone to overheating, resulting in inconsistent drying levels between the upper and lower layers, affecting the consistency of herb quality and the stability of efficacy. At the same time, most existing equipment adopts an open dehumidification method, in which aromatic and volatile effective components volatilized from the herbs during the drying process are directly discharged with water vapor, resulting in resource waste and reduced efficacy. In addition, there is a lack of re-moistening or component recovery mechanisms after drying, which fails to achieve the reabsorption of volatile medicinal components and makes it difficult to meet the needs of high-quality Chinese herbal medicine processing. Summary of the Invention To overcome the above-mentioned defects, the present invention provides a drying device for processing Chinese herbal medicines, which solves the technical problems of uneven drying and loss of effective ingredients in existing drying equipment.

[0003] According to one aspect, at least one embodiment of the present invention provides a drying device for processing traditional Chinese medicine, including a housing, a valve installed on the front of the housing, and further comprising: Two loading mechanisms are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the inner cavity of the outer shell.

The multiple condenser plates are located in the middle of two adjacent filter sleeves. A first conduit is fixedly fitted in the middle of the right side of the filter shell. The first conduit is fixedly fitted to the outer shell.

[0007] Preferably, the heating mechanism includes a heating shell, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the left side of the outer shell. Multiple heating plates are fixedly installed at equal intervals in the inner cavity of the heating shell. Multiple air holes are opened at equal intervals on one side of each heating plate. A second conduit is fixedly sleeved on the right side of the heating shell, and the second conduit is fixedly sleeved at the bottom of the inner cavity of the outer shell.

[0008] Preferably, the distillation mechanism includes a distillation shell, which is fixedly sleeved on the upper part of the inner cavity of the heating shell. The top end of the distillation shell is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the filter shell. A heat-conducting plate is fixedly installed on the bottom of the inner cavity of the distillation shell. The heat-conducting plate is fixedly installed on the top end of the heating plate. An isolation plate is fixedly sleeved on the upper side of the middle part of the distillation shell. A second solenoid valve is fixedly sleeved on the middle part of the isolation plate. A third conduit is fixedly installed on the right side of the middle part of the distillation shell. The third conduit is fixedly sleeved with the outer shell. The distillation shell is made of heat-insulating material, and the heat-conducting plate is made of heat-conducting material.

[0009] Preferably, the air pump includes an air pump, the input pipe of which is fixedly sleeved in the middle of the left side of the filter shell, the output pipe of which is fixedly sleeved in the middle of the left side of the heating shell, the input pipe and the output pipe of which are made of heat-insulating material, and the shaft of which is used to drive the turbine is made of heat-insulating material.

[0010] Preferably, the elastic block is made of a high-temperature resistant material, the chamfer of the limiting block of the left-side loading mechanism is formed at the bottom, and the chamfer of the limiting block of the right-side loading mechanism is formed at the top.

[0011] Preferably, the metal mesh has a aperture smaller than the minimum diameter of the dried herbs, the abutment is made of a material that can be attracted by a magnet, and the magnetic plate is made of a high-temperature resistant, strong magnetic material.

[0012] Preferably, the filter cloth in the middle of the filter sleeve is made of a breathable but waterproof material, the isolation sleeve is made of a heat-insulating material, the condenser plate is made of a heat-conducting material, and the heating plate is a temperature-controllable heating plate.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present invention are as follows: 1. In use, the upper replacement mechanism is first activated, causing the upper magnetic plate to push the carrier mechanism it attracts to the upper surface of the multiple limiting blocks on the right side. Similarly, the lower replacement mechanism is activated, causing the lower magnetic plate to move below the right bottom carrier mechanism. Because the chamfer of the limiting block on the right side of the inner cavity is located on the upper surface, when the lower replacement mechanism drives the right bottom carrier mechanism downwards, the right bottom carrier mechanism pushes the right bottom limiting block to retract the elastic block fixedly connected to it. At this time, the lower magnetic plate drives the right bottom carrier mechanism to move below the right bottom limiting block. Then, the lower drive mechanism is activated in the forward direction, causing the lower magnetic plate to drive the right bottom carrier mechanism to move below the left bottom limiting block. The limiting block on the left side of the inner cavity of the side shell is chamfered and opened below. When the extension end of the bottom hydraulic rod moves upward, the bottom magnetic plate pushes the right bottom bearing mechanism that it is attracted to move upward. The right bottom bearing mechanism pushes the left bottom limiting block to squeeze the left bottom elastic block to contract, so that the right bottom bearing mechanism moves above the left bottom limiting block. Finally, the upper hydraulic rod is activated in the forward direction. The extension end of the upper hydraulic rod pushes the upper magnetic plate to attract the bearing mechanism downward, so that multiple bearing mechanisms on the right move downward synchronously. This cycle is repeated, so that multiple bearing mechanisms on the left and right sides can alternate up, down and left and right. This overcomes the problem that water vapor from drying medicinal materials accumulates upward when existing equipment is used for drying, making it difficult for the upper layer of medicinal materials to be dried evenly.

[0014] 2. This invention involves starting an air pump, which draws in air. The water vapor generated from the drying of the medicinal materials inside the outer shell passes sequentially through a separation mechanism, the air pump, and a heating mechanism before flowing back to the bottom of the outer shell cavity. As the water vapor passes through the separation mechanism, it passes through a filter sleeve, which separates the air and moisture in the middle of the water vapor. This causes the water vapor in the separation mechanism cavity to accumulate on the right side of the filter sleeve, increasing its moisture content. Simultaneously, the dry air passing through the filter sleeve flows through the air pump to the heating mechanism cavity. The air in the heating mechanism cavity, heated by a heating plate, flows back to the bottom of the outer shell cavity. After the water vapor on the right side of the filter sleeve has accumulated for a period of time, it is then cooled by an external cooling device. Coolant is introduced into the inner cavity to cool the condenser plate. At this time, the water vapor accumulated on the right side of the filter sleeve condenses into water on the surface of the condenser plate. Then, the first solenoid valve is opened, and the water flows to the upper part of the isolation plate in the inner cavity of the distillation shell. When the herbs in the inner cavity of the outer shell have finished drying and enter the cooling stage, the air pump is de-energized and at the same time, the second solenoid valve is activated, so that the water above the second solenoid valve in the inner cavity of the distillation shell flows between the heat-conducting plate and the isolation plate in the inner cavity of the distillation shell. Then, the electric heating plate is activated to heat the heat-conducting plate at a low temperature, so that the medicinal components that evaporate at low temperature in the water between the heat-conducting plate and the isolation plate in the inner cavity of the distillation shell flow through the third conduit to the inner cavity of the outer shell, so that the herbs that have entered the cooling stage can reabsorb the volatile effective components.

[0018] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it.

[0019] To keep the drawings concise, each drawing only schematically shows the parts relevant to the invention; these do not represent the actual structure of the product. Furthermore, for ease of understanding, in some drawings, only one of components with the same structure or function is schematically shown, or only one is labeled. In this document, "one" not only means "only one," but can also mean "more than one," and "several" includes "two" and "more than two."

[0020] In this document, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0021] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0022] In the description of this embodiment, terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention.

[0023] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a herbal medicine processing and drying device includes a housing 1, a valve 2 installed on the front of the housing 1, and further includes: Two loading mechanisms 3 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1. The loading mechanism 3 includes multiple support columns 301. The multiple support columns 301 are symmetrically fixedly installed on one side of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1. Multiple mounting shells 302 are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the inner side of two adjacent support columns 301. An elastic block 303 is fixedly installed on the side of the inner cavity of the mounting shell 302 away from the middle of the multiple support columns 301. A limiting block 304 is fixedly installed on the side of the elastic block 303 close to the middle of the multiple support columns 301. The limiting block 304 is slidably sleeved in the middle of the mounting shell 302. The side of the limiting block 304 close to the middle of the multiple support columns 301 is provided with a chamfer. A bearing mechanism 4 is provided on the top of the multiple limiting blocks 304 on the same horizontal plane. A replacement mechanism 5 is symmetrically provided on the upper and lower sides of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1. Among them, the elastic block 303 is made of high temperature resistant material and silicone rubber, so as to prevent the elastic block 303 from losing its elasticity during the long-term drying process of the herbs in the inner cavity of the outer shell 1, which would prevent the elastic block 303 from pushing the limiting block 304 to reset. The chamfer of the limiting block 304 of the left loading mechanism 3 is opened at the bottom, and the chamfer of the limiting block 304 of the right loading mechanism 3 is opened at the top, so that the bottom replacement mechanism 5 can push the left bottom loading mechanism 4 to move upward to the upper part of the left bottom limiting block 304, and the upper replacement mechanism 5 can push the right top loading mechanism 4 to move downward to the lower part of the right top limiting block 304.

[0025] Drying mechanism 6 is located on the left side of outer casing 1.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the supporting mechanism 4 includes a wire mesh frame 401, a feed inlet 402 is provided at the front of the wire mesh frame 401, metal mesh 403 is symmetrically fixedly sleeved on the upper and lower sides of the inner cavity of the wire mesh frame 401, and abutment blocks 404 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the upper and lower surfaces of the wire mesh frame 401. Among them, the metal mesh 403 has a pore size smaller than the minimum diameter of the dried herbs, so as to prevent the dried and shrunken herbs from falling out of the mesh of the metal mesh 403. The abutment 404 is made of a material that can be attracted by a magnet. The abutment 404 is made of high carbon steel, so that the magnetic plate 504 of the replacement mechanism 5 drives the bearing mechanism 4 to move up, down and left and right by attracting the abutment 404.

[0027] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the replacement mechanism 5 includes two slide rails 501. The two slide rails 501 are symmetrically fixedly installed at one end of multiple support columns 301 on the front and rear sides, respectively. A slide plate 502 is slidably sleeved in the middle of the two slide rails 501. A hydraulic rod 503 is fixedly installed in the middle of the side of the slide plate 502 close to the loading mechanism 3. A magnetic plate 504 is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the hydraulic rod 503. A threaded block 505 is fixedly installed in the middle of the side of the slide plate 502 away from the loading mechanism 3. A lead screw 506 is threadedly connected in the middle of the threaded block 505. A drive component 507 is connected to the right end of the lead screw 506. The drive component 507 is fixedly installed on the right side of the outer casing 1. Among them, the magnetic plate 504 is made of high temperature resistant strong magnetic material. The magnetic plate 504 is made of aluminum magnet, so as to avoid the magnetic plate 504 from losing magnetism at high temperature during the drying process of herbs. At the same time, it avoids that the attraction between the magnetic plate 504 and the abutment block 404 is insufficient to drive the bearing mechanism 4 to move up, down and left and right.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 7As shown, the drying mechanism 6 includes a separation mechanism 7, a heating mechanism 8, a distillation mechanism 9, and an air pump 1001. The separation mechanism 7 includes a filter shell 701, which is fixedly installed on the upper part of the left side of the outer shell 1. Multiple filter sleeves 702 are fixedly sleeved at equal intervals in the inner cavity of the filter shell 701. Multiple first solenoid valves 703 are fixedly sleeved at equal intervals at the bottom of the inner cavity of the filter shell 701. The multiple first solenoid valves 703 are respectively located in the middle of adjacent filter sleeves 702. A cooling shell 704 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the rear of the outer shell 1. Multiple isolation sleeves 705 are fixedly sleeved at equal intervals between the cooling shell 704 and the filter shell 701. A condenser plate 706 is fixedly sleeved in the middle of the isolation sleeve 705. The multiple condenser plates 706 are located in the middle of two adjacent filter sleeves 702. A first conduit 707 is fixedly sleeved in the middle of the right side of the filter shell 701. The first conduit 707 is fixedly sleeved with the outer shell 1. The filter cloth in the middle of the filter sleeve 702 is made of a breathable but waterproof material, and is made of a polyimide (PI) membrane. This separates the moisture generated by the evaporation of the medicinal materials, allowing the dry air to flow back into the inner cavity of the outer shell 1, thereby improving the drying speed of the medicinal materials. The isolation sleeve 705 is made of heat-insulating material, and is made of heat-insulating ceramic. The condenser plate 706 is made of thermally conductive material, and is made of copper alloy. This prevents the external cooling device from directly contacting the condenser plate 706 with the external hot air when it introduces coolant into the inner cavity of the cooling shell 704 to cool the condenser plate 706, which would cause the temperature of the condenser plate 706 to rise and thus reduce the water vapor condensation efficiency.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the heating mechanism 8 includes a heating shell 801, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the left side of the outer shell 1. Multiple heating plates 802 are fixedly installed at equal intervals in the inner cavity of the heating shell 801. Multiple air holes 803 are opened at equal intervals on one side of the heating plates 802. A second conduit 804 is fixedly sleeved on the right side of the heating shell 801. The second conduit 804 is fixedly sleeved at the bottom of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1. The heating plate 802 is a temperature-controllable heating plate, so that when drying the herbs in the inner cavity of the outer shell 1, a higher temperature heating plate 802 is used to increase the air temperature in the inner cavity of the outer shell 1 and accelerate the drying of the herbs. When it is necessary to distill the water evaporated from the herbs between the isolation plate 903 and the heat-conducting plate 902 in the inner cavity of the distillation shell 901, the low temperature heating plate 802 heats the heat-conducting plate 902, so that the effective components in the water evaporated from the herbs are separated from the water.

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 3As shown, the distillation mechanism 9 includes a distillation shell 901, which is fixedly sleeved on the upper part of the inner cavity of the heating shell 801. The top end of the distillation shell 901 is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the filter shell 701. A heat-conducting plate 902 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the inner cavity of the distillation shell 901. The heat-conducting plate 902 is fixedly installed on the top end of the heating plate 802. An isolation plate 903 is fixedly sleeved on the upper side of the middle part of the distillation shell 901. A second solenoid valve 904 is fixedly sleeved on the middle part of the isolation plate 903. A third conduit 905 is fixedly installed on the right side of the middle part of the distillation shell 901. The third conduit 905 is fixedly sleeved with the outer shell 1. The distillation shell 901 is made of heat-insulating material and high-carbon steel. The heat-conducting plate 902 is made of heat-conducting material and copper alloy. This allows the heat-conducting plate 902 to transfer the heat generated by the heating plate 802 to the moisture evaporated from the herbs between the inner cavity isolation plate 903 and the heat-conducting plate 902 of the distillation shell 901. At the same time, it prevents a large amount of heat loss through the distillation shell 901 and improves the utilization efficiency of the heat generated by the heat-conducting plate 902.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the air pump 1001 has its input pipe fixedly sleeved in the middle of the left side of the filter housing 701, and its output pipe fixedly sleeved in the middle of the left side of the heating housing 801. The input and output pipes of the air pump 1001 are made of heat-insulating material and high-carbon steel, thereby preventing excessive heat loss when hot air flows through the input and output pipes of the air pump 1001. The shaft of the air pump 1001 used to drive the turbine is made of heat-insulating material and high-carbon steel, thereby preventing hot air flowing through the air pump 1001 from causing overheating and damage to the circuit of the air pump 1001.

[0032] Working principle: In use, the upper drive unit 507 is first activated in the forward direction. The upper drive unit 507 drives the upper lead screw 506 to rotate. The upper lead screw 506 pushes the upper threaded block 505, which is threaded to it, to move to the left. The upper threaded block 505 drives the upper slide plate 502 to move to the left along the upper slide rail 501. The upper slide plate 502 drives the upper hydraulic rod 503 to move to the left. The upper hydraulic rod 503 drives the upper magnetic plate 504 to move to the upper part of the left top support mechanism 4. Then, the upper hydraulic rod 503 is activated in the forward direction. The telescopic end of the upper hydraulic rod 503 drives the upper magnetic plate 504 to move downward. The upper magnetic plate 504 moves downward and contacts the abutment block 404 of the left top support mechanism 4. At this time, the upper magnetic plate 504 attracts the abutment block of the left top support mechanism 4. 404, then the upper hydraulic rod 503 is started in reverse. The telescopic end of the upper hydraulic rod 503 drives the upper magnetic plate 504 to move upward. The upper magnetic plate 504 drives the top bearing mechanism 4 to move upward through the abutment block 404 attracted by it. Then the upper driving component 507 is started in reverse. At this time, the upper driving component 507 drives the top bearing mechanism 4 to move to the top of the multiple limit blocks 304 on the right side through the upper lead screw 506, the upper threaded block 505, the upper hydraulic rod 503, the upper hydraulic rod 503 and the upper magnetic plate 504. Then the upper hydraulic rod 503 is started. The telescopic end of the upper hydraulic rod 503 pushes the upper magnetic plate 504 to move downward. The upper magnetic plate 504 pushes the bearing mechanism 4 attracted by it to move to the upper surface of the multiple limit blocks 304 on the right side. Similarly, the bottom drive unit 507 is activated in the reverse direction, causing the bottom magnetic plate 504 to move below the right bottom support mechanism 4. Then, the bottom hydraulic rod 503 is activated in the forward direction, and the telescopic end of the bottom magnetic plate 504 pushes the bottom magnetic plate 504 upward. At this time, the bottom magnetic plate 504 contacts the abutment block 404 of the right bottom support mechanism 4, and the bottom magnetic plate 504 attracts the right bottom support mechanism 4 through the right bottom abutment block 404. Then, the bottom hydraulic rod 503 is activated in the reverse direction, and the extension of the bottom hydraulic rod 503... As the retracting end contracts downwards, the telescopic end of the bottom hydraulic rod 503 drives the bottom magnetic plate 504 to move downwards. The bottom magnetic plate 504 drives the right bottom support mechanism 4, which is attracted by it, to move downwards. At this time, since the chamfer of the right side limit block 304 of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1 is opened on the top, the downward-moving right bottom support mechanism 4 pushes the right bottom limit block 304 to push the elastic block 303 fixedly connected to it to retract. At this time, the bottom magnetic plate 504 drives the right bottom support mechanism 4 to move below the right bottom limit block 304. Next, the bottom drive unit 507 is activated in the forward direction, causing the bottom magnetic plate 504 to move the right bottom support mechanism 4 to below the left bottom limit block 304. At this time, the left side limit block 304 of the right outer shell 1 is chamfered and opened downwards. When the telescopic end of the bottom hydraulic rod 503 moves upward, the bottom magnetic plate 504 pushes the right bottom support mechanism 4, which is attracted to it, to move upward. The right bottom support mechanism 4 pushes the left bottom limit block 304 to squeeze the left bottom elastic block 303 to contract, so that the right bottom support mechanism 4 moves above the left bottom limit block 304. At the same time, the abutment blocks 404 between two adjacent support mechanisms 4 abut against each other, so that multiple left support mechanisms 4 push the limit blocks 304 in contact with them to squeeze the elastic block 303 to contract. Multiple support mechanisms 4 on the left move upwards synchronously. Then, the hydraulic rod 503 is activated in the reverse direction. The telescopic end of the bottom hydraulic rod 503 drives the magnetic plate 504 to move downwards. At this time, because the support mechanism 4 adsorbed by the bottom magnetic plate 504 is in contact with the plane on the upper part of the left limit block 304, the bottom magnetic plate 504 separates from the adsorbed support mechanism 4. Similarly, the upper hydraulic rod 503 is activated in the forward direction. The telescopic end of the upper hydraulic rod 503 pushes the upper magnetic plate 504 to adsorb the support mechanism 4 downwards, so that multiple support mechanisms 4 on the right move downwards synchronously. This cycle is repeated, so that multiple support mechanisms 4 on the left and right sides can alternate up and down and left and right. This overcomes the problem that when the existing equipment is drying, the water vapor of the medicinal material is gathered upwards, making it difficult for the upper medicinal material to be dried evenly. Furthermore, by activating the air pump 1001, air is drawn in, and the water vapor generated from the drying of the medicinal materials in the inner cavity of the outer shell 1 flows back to the bottom of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1 after passing through the separation mechanism 7, the air pump 1001, and the heating mechanism 8. As the water vapor passes through the inner cavity of the separation mechanism 7, it passes through the filter sleeve 702, where the filter sleeve 702 separates the air and moisture in the middle of the water vapor. This causes the water vapor in the inner cavity of the separation mechanism 7 to accumulate on the right side of the filter sleeve 702, increasing the moisture content of the water vapor on the right side. Simultaneously, the dry air passing through the filter sleeve 702 flows through the air pump 1001 to the inner cavity of the heating mechanism 8. The air in the inner cavity of the heating mechanism 8 flows back to the bottom of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1 under the heating of the electric heating plate 802. After the water vapor on the right side of the filter sleeve 702 has accumulated for a period of time, coolant is introduced into the inner cavity of the cooling shell 704 through an external cooling device, causing the condenser plate 7... 06. Cooling: At this time, the water vapor accumulated on the right side of the filter sleeve 702 condenses into water on the surface of the condenser plate 706. Then, the first solenoid valve 703 is opened, and the water flows to the upper part of the isolation plate 903 inside the distillation shell 901. When the herbs inside the outer shell 1 have finished drying and enter the cooling stage, the air pump 1001 is de-energized and simultaneously drives the second solenoid valve 904, so that the water above the second solenoid valve 904 inside the distillation shell 901 flows through the second solenoid valve 904 to the space between the heat-conducting plate 902 and the isolation plate 903 inside the distillation shell 901. Then, the electric heating plate 802 is activated to heat the heat-conducting plate 902 at a low temperature, so that the medicinal components that evaporate at low temperature in the water between the heat-conducting plate 902 and the isolation plate 903 inside the distillation shell 901 flow through the third conduit 905 to the inner cavity of the outer shell 1, allowing the herbs entering the cooling stage to reabsorb the volatile effective components.
