DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0027] See also Figure 1 The utility model provides a technical solution: a drying rack for processing Chinese herbal medicine slices comprises a motor 1, a support frame 6 is fixedly connected below the motor 1, two moving plates 2 are arranged on the right side of the motor 1, and support feet 7 are respectively arranged below the two moving plates 2, and two drying boxes 5 are arranged between the two moving plates 2. The two drying boxes 5 can expand the drying area and improve the drying efficiency. The left and right ends of the two drying boxes 5 are respectively fixedly connected with fixing buckles 4, and the right side of the left moving plate 2 is movably connected with a pushing plate 3, and the two left fixing buckles 4 pass through the pushing plate 3 and are slidably connected to the inside of the left moving plate 2, and the two right fixing buckles 4 are directly slidably connected to the inside of the right moving plate 2.
[0028] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3, a connection port 21 is provided at the center of the exercise board 2, a symmetric double-U-shaped groove 22 is provided at the right end of the exercise board 2, an outer sliding groove 25 is provided at the left rear side of the groove 22 inside the exercise board 2, gear grooves 24 are provided at the left front sides of the two bending parts of the groove 22 inside the exercise board 2, and inner sliding grooves 23 are provided at the left front sides of the two straight parts of the groove 22 inside the exercise board 2; the pushing board 3 is provided with two axially symmetric double-U-shaped contact ports 31, the central cylindrical structure on the left side of the pushing board 3 is movably connected to the connection port 21, the gear column 42 passes through the contact port 31 and is slidably connected inside the groove 22, the outer side of the contact port 31 provided on the pushing board 3 is in contact with and closely adheres to the side surface of the cylindrical structures of the two left-side gear columns 42, so that when the pushing board 3 rotates, a driving force will be given to the two left-side gear columns 42. The circular end surface of the gear column 42 closely adheres to the groove 22, the cylindrical side surface of the gear column 42 closely adheres to the contour edge of the contact port 31, and the gear structure of the gear column 42 is embedded inside the gear groove 24, so that the gear column 42 can rotate automatically at the gear groove 24. The gear structure of the gear column 42 slides inside the outer sliding groove 25 and the inner sliding groove 23, so as to ensure the horizontal movement of the gear column 42 at the inner sliding groove 23; the arc length of the gear groove 24 is 1.5 times the circumference of the gear column 42. This multiple setting of the arc length and the circumference allows the drying box 5 to turn over 180° three times along the entire arc of the groove 22, which can ensure that the drying box 5 is in a horizontal state in the middle of the entire inner sliding groove 23 and the gear groove 24. Thus, the drying rack can keep the drying box 5 horizontally placed in different spatial layouts, increasing the drying area and ensuring the realization of the drying function.
[0029] Please refer to Figure 4 , the four corners of the inner cavity of the drying box 5 are all curved surfaces, and this curved surface is a concave inclined surface, which can help the medicinal materials to turn over when the drying box 5 rotates and turns over, avoiding the situation that the medicinal materials are piled up in the corners and reducing the drying area. The drying box 5 includes a frame one 51, a frame two 53 is slidably connected below the frame one 51, isolation plates 52 are fixedly connected inside both the frame one 51 and the frame two 53, and the isolation plates 52 are made of a mesh material, which can ensure that the medicinal materials evenly receive sunlight and air circulation, avoiding the situation of local over-drying or not being thoroughly dried. The frame one 51 and the frame two 53 together with the isolation plates 52 form an H-shaped structure, and fixing holes 54 are provided at both the left and right ends of the frame two 53. The fixing buckle 4 includes a disc block 41, there is a U-shaped groove inside the disc block 41, and the setting of the disc block 41 can clamp the frame one 51 and the frame two 53 tightly, ensuring that the frame one 51 will not脱离 the structure due to gravity after turning over. A gear column 42 is fixedly connected to the center of the outer side of the disc block 41, and two through mounting holes 44 are axially symmetrically provided below the outer side of the disc block 41. Two fixing screws 43 are arranged inside the two mounting holes 44 and the two fixing holes 54, and the disc block 41 and the frame two 53 are fixedly connected by the two fixing screws 43.
[0030] Please refer to Figure 5The motor 1 includes a circular plate 12, which has three screw holes 13. The motor 1 and the support frame 6 are fixedly connected by screws passing through the three screw holes 13 and entering the support frame 6. A connecting ring 14 is fixedly connected to the center of the left end of the moving plate 2. The output shaft of the motor 1 passes through the connecting ring 14 and is fixedly connected to the left center columnar structure of the moving plate 2 and the push plate 3.
[0031] See also Figure 6 The left and right sides of the lower end of frame 1 51 are fixedly connected with protruding blocks 511, and the left and right sides of the upper end of frame 2 53 are provided with recessed blocks 531. Frame 1 51 and frame 2 53 are slidably connected through the contact and engagement of the protruding blocks 511 and the recessed blocks 531.
[0032] See also Figure 7 When the gear column 42 leaves the gear slot 24, the gear column 42 rotates 540° to drive the drying box 5 to rotate and turn over.
[0033] See also Figure 8 When the drying rack is not in use, the movable motor can move the gear column 42 to the center of the inner sliding groove 23. Since the gear column 42 moves horizontally on the inner sliding groove 23, when the gear column 42 moves to the center of the inner sliding groove 23, the two drying boxes will not collide but be stacked up and down, thereby saving space.
[0034] Working principle:
[0035] The initial state of the two gear columns 42 on the left side is that the front gear column 42 is located at the vertex below the front arc of the groove 22, and the rear gear column 42 is located at the vertex above the rear arc of the groove 22. When discharging, the push-pull frame 1 51 exposes the isolation plate 52, and the medicinal materials are placed in the box. When the motor 1 is running, the driving force provided by the motor 1 drives the push plate 3 to rotate counterclockwise. Since the outer side of the contact port 31 opened on the push plate 3 is in close contact with the side of the cylindrical structure of the two gear columns 42 on the left, the push plate 3 will give a driving force to the two gear columns 42 on the left when it rotates. Since the round surface of the gear column 42 is in close contact with the groove 22, the driving force will cause the gear column 42 to slide along the trajectory shape of the groove 22. Gear grooves 24 are provided at the arcs on both sides of the groove 22. When the gear column 42 enters the gear groove 24 from the apex of the arc and starts to move, the gear-shaped structure of the gear column 42 moves along the gear groove 24 to realize the rotation of the gear column 42, thereby driving the rotation of the drying box 5. Since the arc length is 1.5 times the circumference of the circular surface of the gear column, when the gear column 42 leaves the gear groove 24, the gear column 42 rotates 540° to drive the drying box 5 to turn over. After the gear column 42 leaves the gear groove 24, it enters the inner sliding groove 23. Since the groove is a straight groove, the gear column cannot rotate. The driving force provided by the rotation of the push plate 3 will only make the gear column 42 translate along the trajectory of the inner sliding groove 23, thereby ensuring the contact area for drying.
[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
