The hole 201 is opened at the storage The surface of the cylinder 103, one end of the rotating rod 202 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the storage cylinder 103, the other end of the rotating rod 202 passes through the partition 104 and is connected to the rear side of the inner wall of the storage box 101 through a bearing, the gear disc 203 is sleeved on the surface of the rotating rod 202, the servo motor 204 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the partition 104, the output rod 205 is fixedly connected to the output end of the rear side of the servo motor 204, the rotating disc 206 is sleeved on the surface of the output rod 205, the rotating disc 206 is sleeved on the surface of the output rod 205 and meshed with one side of the gear disc 203, the heating tube 207 is fixedly connected to the storage box 101 On both sides of the inner wall, humidity sensors 208 are installed inside the storage box 101, and a controller 209 is installed on the front side of the sealed door 102. The controller 209 is connected to the servo motor 204, the heating tube 207 and the sensor through power lines. After the medicinal materials are stored in the storage tube 103 for a long time, if the medicinal materials are damp, the humidity sensor 208 will sense that the humidity is too high and transmit the signal to the controller 209. After receiving the command, the controller 209 will automatically operate the heating tube 207 and the servo motor 204. After the heating tube 207 is running, it will heat the inside of the storage box 101, and the heat will penetrate the heat exchanger 208. The inside of the storage barrel 103 is entered through the hole 201, and the medicinal materials inside are dried. At the same time, the operation of the servo motor 204 will drive the output rod 205 and the turntable 206 to rotate slowly. The rotation of the turntable 206 will drive the meshing gear disc 203 to rotate. The rotation of the gear disc 203 will also drive the rotating rod 202 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 202 can drive the storage barrel 103 to rotate. The rotation of the storage barrel 103 can drive the medicinal materials inside to rotate slowly, so that the medicinal materials are evenly heated, the dehumidification of the medicinal materials is accelerated, and the medicinal materials are prevented from getting damp and mildewed after long-term storage, thereby maintaining their quality and safety.

[0024] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a dehumidification port 301 is provided on the top of the storage box 101, and an exhaust fan 302 is installed inside the dehumidification port 301. When the medicinal materials are dried, the exhaust fan 302 can be operated at the same time. The operation of the exhaust fan 302 can discharge the moisture inside the storage box 101 to the outside through the dehumidification port 301, so that the air inside the storage box 101 is in a dry state. The dry environment helps to delay the deterioration of the medicinal materials, so that the medicinal materials can be stored for a longer time and their shelf life is extended.

[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, a sliding column 401 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the storage barrel 103, and a track groove 402 is opened on the front side of the partition 104. The sliding column 401 is slidably connected to the inside of the track groove 402.

[0026] like Figure 2-4 As shown, a support ring 5 is provided on the front end of the surface of the storage cylinder 103, and the support ring 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the storage box 101. Under the action of the support ring 5, the storage cylinder 103 can be auxiliary supported to prevent the storage cylinder 103 from being too heavy and shifting or sagging during rotation, thereby being able to stably support the storage cylinder 103.

[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the front hinge of the storage tube 103 is connected to the door panel 6, and the front side of the door panel 6 is fixedly connected to a handle, which can increase the sealing of the storage tube 103 under the action of the door panel 6, reduce the intrusion of oxygen and moisture, delay the deterioration of medicinal materials, and thus extend their shelf life.

[0028] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the outer diameter of the hole 201 is larger than the inner diameter. There are several holes 201, which are evenly distributed on the surface of the storage tube 103. When the heating tube 207 heats the inside of the storage box 101, the outer diameter of the hole 201 is larger than the inner diameter, which can speed up the entry of the hot air inside the storage box 101 into the storage tube 103 and slow down the discharge of the hot air inside the storage tube 103 to the outside, thereby speeding up the drying efficiency of the medicinal materials.

[0029] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the top hinge of the dehumidification port 301 is connected to a sealing cover 7, which is circular in shape. After the medicinal materials are heated and dried, the staff can close the sealing cover 7. The sealing cover 7 can increase the sealing effect of the storage box 101 and prevent moist air from entering the interior of the storage box 101 through the dehumidification port 301.

[0030] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: after the medicinal materials are stored in the storage tube 103 for a long time, if the medicinal materials are damp, the humidity sensor 208 will sense that the humidity is too high and transmit the signal to the controller 209. After receiving the command, the controller 209 will automatically operate the heating tube 207 and the servo motor 204. After the heating tube 207 is running, it will heat the inside of the storage box 101. The heat will pass through the hole 201 into the inside of the storage tube 103 and dry the medicinal materials inside. At the same time, the operation of the servo motor 204 will drive the output rod 205 and the turntable 206 to rotate slowly, and the turntable 206 rotates. It will drive the meshing gear disc 203 to rotate, and the rotation of the gear disc 203 will also drive the rotating rod 202 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 202 can drive the storage barrel 103 to rotate. The rotation of the storage barrel 103 can drive the internal medicinal materials to rotate slowly, so that the medicinal materials are evenly heated and the medicinal materials are quickly dehumidified. When the medicinal materials are dried, the exhaust fan 302 can be operated at the same time. The exhaust fan 302 can be operated to discharge the moisture inside the storage box 101 through the dehumidification port 301 to the outside, so that the air inside the storage box 101 is in a dry state. The dry environment helps to delay the deterioration of the medicinal materials and extend their shelf life.
