[0044] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model provides a highly efficient drying device for Chinese herbal medicine, comprising: a drying cabinet 1; a motor 2, fixedly connected to the surface of the drying cabinet 1, to drive the components in the drying cabinet 1 to work; a feed bin 3, fixedly connected to the feed end of the drying cabinet 1, from which undried herbs are fed; a discharge plate 4, fixedly connected to the discharge end of the drying cabinet 1, from which the dried herbs are conveyed; a bellows 5, fixedly connected to the surface of the drying cabinet 1, to dry the herbs on the conveyor belt 9; a transmission shaft 8, fixedly connected At the output end of the motor 2, the conveyor belt 9 is driven to run; the conveyor belt 9 is sleeved on the arc surface of the transmission shaft 8 to transport the herbs; the dispersion roller 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 2 to evenly disperse the herbs on the conveyor belt 9; the air outlet pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the air outlet end of the bellows 5 to make the air outlet of the bellows 5 even; the limiting device 6 is arranged on the inner wall of the drying cabinet 1 to limit the herbs on the conveyor belt 9; the covering device 7 is arranged on the surface of the feed bin 3 to cover the feed end of the feed bin 3.

[0045] like Figure 3As shown, the limiting device 6 includes a fixed plate 62, which is slidably connected to the drying cabinet 1, and a stopper 63 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed plate 62. The surface of the fixed plate 62 is fixedly connected to a partition 61. When the herbs need to be dried, the wet herbs are put into the drying cabinet 1 through the feed bin 3, and the fresh herbs fall on the conveyor belt 9. Then, the motor 2 is started to drive the transmission shaft 8 and the dispersion roller 10 to rotate, and the transmission shaft 8 drives the conveyor belt 9 to run, and the conveyor belt 9 drives the herbs to move, and the bellows 5 is started to run, and the bellows 5 blows out hot air to blow the herbs on the conveyor belt 9 into a dry state. When the herbs are blown, the partition 61 will separate the herbs, so that the herbs will not fall from the conveyor belt 9, and the dry herbs are transported by the conveyor belt 9. The herbs are sent out from the discharge plate 4. The surface of the partition 61 is fixedly connected with a first inclined plate 67. The surface of the partition 61 is fixedly connected with a second inclined plate 68. Guided by the first inclined plate 67, the herbs are pushed to the middle of the two partitions 61 and are guided by the second partition 61 to move to the middle position of the conveyor belt 9.
