[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine is a natural medicine and its processed substitutes that are guided by the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and used to prevent and treat diseases and have rehabilitation and health-care effects. It mainly includes herbal medicines, animal medicines, and mineral medicines. Traditional Chinese medicine has a variety of application forms, including single prescriptions and compound prescriptions. Traditional Chinese medicine compound prescriptions are generally composed of two or more medicinal flavors. Common dosage forms include pills, powders, etc., with relatively prescribed processing methods and usage methods. Among them, traditional Chinese medicine powders, as an important dosage form, need to be sterilized by high-pressure steam during the preparation process, so that their microbial limits must meet the quality requirements of the 2020 edition of the "Chinese Pharmacopoeia". For example, the classic prescription "Kaixinsan" is an oral traditional Chinese medicine powder. The four medicinal materials of Polygala tenuifolia, Ginseng, Poria cocos and Acorus calamus in the prescription will carry some bacteria, molds or other pathogens to varying degrees during the production and processing process, and the product needs to be sterilized.

[0027] In this embodiment, it is considered that after the existing high-pressure steam sterilization device sterilizes the medicinal materials, the medicinal materials need to be taken out for further drying, which is a cumbersome process and will reduce the production efficiency of the preparation. At the same time, it may cause contamination of the sterilized medicinal materials, and some effective ingredients in the medicinal materials are lost during the manufacturing process, reducing the efficacy of the medicinal materials. Therefore, the utility model is capable of starting the solenoid valve on the high-pressure steam pipe 3 by setting a transmission mechanism, and the high-pressure steam will enter the box 2, and the medicinal materials in the box 2 can be sterilized with high-pressure steam. After the sterilization is completed, the solenoid valve on the high-pressure steam pipe 3 is closed, and the solenoid valve on the hot air pipe 4 is started, and the hot air will enter the box 2 through the hot air pipe 4 to dry the medicinal materials. At the same time, the motor 9 is started, The first transmission wheel 10 is driven to rotate, and the first transmission wheel 10 drives the first double-groove pulley 11 to rotate through the first belt, and the first double-groove pulley 11 drives the second double-groove pulley 12 to rotate through the second belt, and the second double-groove pulley 12 drives the second transmission wheel 13 to rotate through the third belt, and the second transmission wheel 13 drives the conveying roller 6 to rotate, and the conveying roller 6 drives the conveying chain 7 to transmit, and while the conveying chain 7 is transmitting, it drives the upper feeding roller 5 to rotate, and the upper feeding roller 5 drives the second gear 22 to rotate, and the second gear 22 is engaged with the first gear 21, which will drive the first gear 21 and the lower feeding roller 20 to rotate, refer to Figure 3 For example, when the medicinal materials are put in from the right side of the housing 2, the lower feeding roller 20 will first drive the medicinal materials to move the medicinal materials to the left to below the conveying chain 7, and the conveying teeth 8 at the bottom of the conveying chain 7 will move and hook the medicinal material rod, and drive the medicinal materials to follow the left transmission, and disperse the medicinal materials to the left for drying, thereby improving the drying effect;

[0028] The invention solves the problem that the existing high-pressure steam sterilization device needs to take out the medicinal materials for drying after sterilizing them, which is a cumbersome process, and some effective ingredients in the medicinal materials will be lost during the manufacturing process, which reduces the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials and also reduces the production efficiency;

[0029] It should be noted that one end of the high-pressure steam pipe 3 can be connected to a high-pressure steam generator, and one end of the hot air pipe 4 can be connected to a hot air blower to provide high-pressure steam and hot air;

[0030] The conveying tooth 8 may also be in an L-shape or the like.

[0045] As the second double-groove pulley 12 rotates, it drives the connecting rod 17 to rotate as well. The connecting rod 17 rotates and adjusts around the hinge as the first double-groove pulley 11 rotates, driving the rotating wheel 16 and the beating shaft 14 to swing back and forth in a small range, and driving the beating plate 15 to intermittently beat the conveyed medicinal materials, shaking off the water droplets, which fall through the screen 19, further improving the drying effect.
