[0002] In many fields such as botany, horticulture, and traditional Chinese medicine material processing, plant drying is a crucial technological process, which can not only extend the storage period of plants, but also facilitate subsequent transportation, storage, and further processing and utilization. The traditional plant drying method is to directly spread the plants flat on the ground or on a table for sun drying. This plant drying method has a large floor area and poor ventilation, and the plants are prone to mildew.
[0003] For this reason, plant drying racks have emerged on the market. The plant drying racks have multiple layers of shelving nets, and each layer of shelving net can be used to place the plants to be dried, effectively improving the space utilization rate and ventilation effect. However, the plants need to be spread flat on the shelving net for drying, resulting in the parts of the plants in direct contact with the shelving net being easily squeezed, especially the soft or deformable parts of the plants, resulting in the distortion, damage, or even destruction of the plant morphology, seriously affecting the market value and medicinal effect of the dried plants.

[0027] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] The present utility model provides a plant drying rack for solving the problem of how to improve the appearance integrity of the plant after drying.
[0029] Refer to Figure 1 as shown in Figure 1 which is a perspective view of the plant drying rack in the embodiment. The plant drying rack includes a support frame 1 and at least two support arms 2.
[0030] One end of the support arm 2 is slidably or fixedly arranged on the support frame 1. There is a hanging space 3 for accommodating the plant between two adjacent support arms 2, and the support arm 2 has a recess 21 with an opening facing upwards.
[0031] Wherein, when drying the plant, both sides of the root of the plant are respectively hung on the recesses 21 of two adjacent support arms 2 so that the plant is vertically hung in the hanging space 3.
[0032] When the plant drying rack with the above technical solution dries the plant, first, invert the plant to be dried so that the root of the plant faces upwards, then vertically place the plant between two support arms 2, and make both sides of the root of the plant respectively hang on the recesses 21 of these two support arms 2, thereby vertically hanging the plant in the hanging space 3 between the two support arms 2 for drying. In this way, the plant drying rack can effectively reduce the direct contact part between the plant and the drying rack, effectively prevent the plant from being squeezed and deformed by the drying rack, thereby effectively improving the appearance integrity of the plant after drying, so as not to affect the market value and medicinal effect of the plant after drying, and can also improve the ventilation effect of the plant, enable the plant to dry quickly, and effectively prevent the plant from mildewing, thereby ensuring the quality of the plant.
[0033] The materials of the above support frame 1 and support arm 2 can be made of materials with corrosion resistance, light weight and high strength, such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy or specially treated wood materials, to ensure the durability and service life of the plant drying rack.
[0034] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 as shown in Figure 2FIG. 0 is a partial cross-sectional view of the support arm 2 and the cross beam 12 in the embodiment. In one embodiment of the support arm 2, the support arm 2 is a wavy rod member. The wavy rod member has at least two concave portions 21 spaced apart along the extending direction of the support arm 2, and a soft protective layer 23 is adhesively bonded or sleeved outside the support arm 2. In this way, the wavy rod member can be used for hanging multiple plants, increasing the number of plants for air drying, and can limit the hanging positions of the plants in the axial direction of the support arm 2, ensuring the gaps between the plants, effectively avoiding the extrusion between the plants, further avoiding the extrusion deformation of the plants, thereby further ensuring the integrity of the appearance of the plants after drying. Moreover, the structure of the wavy rod member is simple and can be formed by one-piece molding, which is easy to produce and manufacture; and the soft protective layer 23 can prevent the support arm 2 from damaging the roots of the plants during the hanging and drying process, and at the same time can increase the hanging stability of the plants.
[0035] The above-mentioned soft protective layer 23 can use existing soft materials with anti-slip or protective properties.
[0036] Refer to Figure 1 As shown in FIG., in one embodiment of the support frame 1, the support frame 1 includes two columns 11 and a plurality of cross beams 12. The cross beams 12 are slidably or fixedly arranged between the two columns 11 and are spaced apart vertically. One end of the support arm 2 is slidably or fixedly arranged on the cross beam 12. In this way, a plurality of cross beams 12 can form a structure for hanging plants in multiple layers, further increasing the number of plants that can be dried.
[0037] The distance between two adjacent cross beams 12 mentioned above needs to be greater than the height of the plants. In this way, it can effectively avoid the extrusion between adjacent plants in the upper and lower layers, and further improve the appearance integrity of the plants after drying.
[0038] The above-mentioned cross beam 12 can be fixed between the two columns 11 by welding or one-piece connection, etc., or the cross beam 12 can be detachably connected between the two columns 11 by screwing or clamping, etc., or the cross beam 12 can be slidably connected between the two columns 11 along the vertical direction through a sliding structure such as a slide rail or a chute 15, and then the cross beam 12 and the column 11 are fixed by a detachable structure such as a bolt and nut. The first connection method between the cross beam 12 and the column 11 mentioned above cannot adjust the distance between two adjacent cross beams 12 and cannot adapt to the drying of plants with different heights. However, the latter two connection methods can both flexibly adjust the distance between two adjacent cross beams 12, making the distance between two adjacent cross beams 12 slightly greater than the height of the plants to be actually dried, and can adapt to the drying of plants with different heights, meeting the drying requirements of plants with different heights.
[0039] One end of the above-mentioned support arm 2 can be fixed on the cross beam 12 by welding or one-piece connection, etc., or one end of the support arm 2 can be detachably connected to the cross beam 12 by screwing or clamping, etc., or one end of the support arm 2 can also be slidably connected to the cross beam 12.
[0040] Refer toFigure 2 As shown, on the basis that the support arm 2 is provided on the cross beam 12, one end of the support arm 2 is provided with a slider 22 by means of welding or integral connection, etc. The cross beam 12 is provided with a sliding groove 15 in the length direction, and the sliders 22 of at least two support arms 2 are slidably connected in the same sliding groove 15. It can be seen that at least two support arms 2 can slide along the same sliding groove 15 of the cross beam 12 to adjust the position of the support arm 2 on the cross beam 12 and the distance between two adjacent support arms 2, so as to be able to adjust the position of the plant hanging for drying, avoid the extrusion between plants, and be able to adjust the width of the hanging space 3 to match the actual width of the plants to be dried, so that the plant drying rack can be adapted to dry plants of different widths and meet the drying requirements of different plants.
[0041] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, on the basis that the support frame 1 includes two columns 11 and several cross beams 12, at least two support arms 2 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the cross beam 12, and the support arms 2 on the same side of the cross beam 12 are spaced apart along the length direction of the cross beam 12. In this way, both sides of the cross beam 12 can hang and dry plants, so as to be able to further increase the number of plants that can be dried.
[0042] Refer to Figure 1 As shown, on the basis that the support frame 1 includes two columns 11 and several cross beams 12, the support frame 1 further includes a bottom frame 13 and a reinforcing rod 14. The bottom ends of the columns 11 are fixedly provided on the bottom frame 13 by means of welding or integral connection, etc. The reinforcing rod 14 is inclinedly distributed, and one end of the reinforcing rod 14 is fixedly connected to the column 11 by means of welding or integral connection, etc., and the other end is fixedly connected to the bottom frame 13 by means of welding or integral connection, etc. In this way, the reinforcing rod 14, the column 11 and the bottom frame 13 form a triangular support structure, which can effectively improve the structural stability of the support frame 1 and avoid the support frame 1 from collapsing due to uneven force caused by hanging and drying plants.
[0043] Refer to Figure 1 As shown, in an embodiment of the support frame 1, at least two rollers 4 are provided at the bottom of the support frame 1 by means of welding or screwing, etc. In this way, it is convenient for users to move the plant drying rack to a suitable drying position or to conveniently store it after drying. Especially when the plants are hung on the plant drying rack, the plants will greatly increase the weight of the plant drying rack, and the rollers 4 can make the movement of the plant drying rack easier and more labor-saving.
[0044] The above-mentioned rollers 4 can use existing universal wheels and can realize movement in any direction.
[0045] Although embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present utility model. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
