Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of equipment technology for processing Chinese medicinal materials, specifically to a drying device for Polygonatum sibiricum using ultrasonic-assisted low-temperature hot air circulation. Background Technology

[0002] Precious and delicate Chinese medicinal herbs such as Polygonatum sibiricum are rich in heat-sensitive active ingredients such as polysaccharides and saponins. Traditional hot air drying, with its high temperature and long duration, easily leads to the loss of these components and deterioration of quality. Although low-temperature hot air drying equipment has been developed to alleviate this problem to some extent, low drying efficiency, high energy consumption, and significant resistance to moisture migration from the inside out remain technical bottlenecks. Ultrasonic technology, due to its cavitation and mechanical effects, can effectively enhance the mass transfer process; however, how to efficiently and stably integrate it with a low-temperature hot air system into a single device, and how to optimize the design specifically for the material characteristics of Polygonatum sibiricum, are urgent problems to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

Specifically:

[0017] 1. Synergistic Effect: The cavitation and mechanical effects of ultrasound can disrupt the cell wall structure and form microchannels without raising the material temperature, greatly enhancing the migration (internal diffusion) of moisture from the interior of Polygonatum to the surface; low-temperature hot air is responsible for efficiently vaporizing and carrying away the surface moisture (external diffusion). The synergy of these two effects breaks through the bottleneck of single drying methods and significantly shortens the drying time.

[0018] 2. Superior quality: Strict low-temperature conditions (≤50℃) fundamentally prevent the denaturation and inactivation of heat-sensitive substances (such as Polygonatum polysaccharide); the rapid drying process also reduces the exposure time of materials in adverse environments, and the final product's color, shape, and retention rate of effective ingredients are significantly better than those of traditional methods.

[0019] 3. Energy-saving and efficient: The drying time is shortened, the energy consumption per unit product is reduced, and the hot air utilization rate is high.

[0020] 4. Intelligent control: The drying process can be flexibly customized according to the initial moisture content and quality requirements of different batches of Polygonatum, so as to ensure the stability and consistency of product quality. Attached Figure Description
