[0022] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, a more comprehensive description of the present invention will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings illustrate preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the present invention.

[0023] Below, the present invention is further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a rapid cooling box for Chinese herbal medicine slices includes a box body 3 and a centrifugal fan 1. The centrifugal fan 1 is connected to the box body 3 through an air inlet 2, so that the flowing air fills the entire lower overhead layer of the box body 3, thereby achieving rapid cooling of the Chinese herbal medicine slices. The centrifugal fan 1 of this practical cooling box is preferably an induced draft fan.

[0026] Specifically, the box 3 includes a bottom wall and side walls, which further include a front wall, a rear wall, a left wall, and a right wall. The four sets of side walls are vertically mounted on the bottom wall and welded in pairs to form a rectangular structure. The distance between the front and rear side walls is set to 2440 mm, the distance between the left and right walls is set to 1800 mm, and the height of the side walls is set to 1000 mm. Thus, the dimensions of the box 3 are 2440 mm * 1800 mm * 1000 mm.

[0027] After the box body 3 is formed, a supporting layered bracket 4 is set in the box body 3. The supporting layered bracket 4 includes two parts, one part is a field-shaped layered bracket, and the other part is a supporting leg welded between the layered bracket and the bottom wall, and the supporting leg is perpendicular to the layered bracket and the bottom wall. One end of the supporting leg is welded to the bottom wall, and the other end is welded to the center position of the layered bracket; the box body 3 is divided into an upper cooling layer and a lower overhead layer by using the supporting layered bracket 4, and is set between the two layers by welding. Among them, the depth of the upper cooling layer is 600mm, the depth of the lower overhead layer is 380mm, and the upper door 5 and the lower door 6 are also provided on the side wall of the box body 3. The upper door 5 is set on the upper cooling layer, and the lower door 6 is set on the lower overhead layer, that is, the upper door 5 is set directly above the lower door 6, and the upper door 5 and the lower door 6 are both set on the side wall of the box body 3 through a rotating shaft; the air inlet 2 is set on the lower overhead layer, and the lower door 6 needs to be set opposite to the air inlet 2. The height of the air inlet 2 is set to 340mm to avoid a small air volume.

[0028] The constructed support layer bracket 4 is used to lay the layered punched plate 7, and the total thickness of the support layer bracket and the layered punched plate is set to 20 mm, that is, the total thickness of the upper cooling layer, the lower overhead layer, the support layer bracket and the layered punched plate is equal to the total height of the box 3. In other words, the depth of the upper cooling layer, the lower overhead layer, the support layer bracket and the layered punched plate can be arbitrarily set according to production needs, so as to achieve a better cooling effect.

[0029] Densely arranged and equal-sized punching holes are provided on the layered punching plate 7, and the diameter of the punching holes is set to 3-6 mm. The diameter of the punching holes can be set according to specific requirements. The present invention is used for cooling Chinese herbal medicine slices, so the diameter of the punching holes is set to 5 mm.

[0030] The Chinese herbal medicine slices processed at high temperature are then directly spread on the layered punching plate 7. Since the lower layer is an overhead layer, after turning on the centrifugal fan 1, the flowing air will fill the entire lower layer and be released into the gaps between the Chinese herbal medicine slices on the layered punching plate 7, thereby taking away the heat of the Chinese herbal medicine slices processed at high temperature and causing their temperature to drop quickly to room temperature.

[0031] Those skilled in the art can make various other corresponding changes and deformations based on the technical solutions and concepts described above, and all of these changes and deformations should fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present utility model.
