[0017] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 The crossbar 2 is provided with a rotation slot 4, within which are disposed a semi-cylindrical upper connecting shaft 7 and a lower connecting shaft 5, allowing the upper connecting shaft 7 and the lower connecting shaft 5 to rotate within the rotation slot 4. The rotation slot 4 also restrains the upper connecting shaft 7 and the lower connecting shaft 5, preventing them from automatically detaching from the crossbar 2. Furthermore, the semi-cylindrical shape of the upper connecting shaft 7 and the lower connecting shaft 5 allows them to form a cylindrical structure when joined together, facilitating their rotation within the rotation slot 4. The upper connecting shaft 7 and the lower connecting shaft 5 are respectively welded to an upper drying net 8 and a lower drying net 6, allowing them to rotate simultaneously.

[0018] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 , a support plate 15 is detachably fixedly connected to the cross bar 2 below the rotation groove 4 by bolts, so that the support plate 15 and the cross bar 2 are connected together. A limit plate 16 is detachably fixedly connected to the support plate 15 and the cross bar 2 by bolts, so that the limit plate 16 is connected to the support plate 15 and the cross bar 2. The limit plate 16 is an arc plate-shaped structure, and the vertical cross-section is L-shaped, so that the limit plate 16, the support plate 15 and the cross bar 2 directly form a limit groove structure, and a connecting component is movably connected to the limit plate 16, and the connecting component is partially movably arranged in the limit groove structure, so that the upper connecting shaft 7 and the lower connecting shaft 5 are connected together by the connecting component to achieve simultaneous rotation in the rotation groove 4, and the connecting component can be limited by the limit groove structure.

[0019] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3The connecting assembly includes an upper connecting block 12, a lower connecting block 9, an upper positioning block 13, a lower positioning block 10, an upper spring 14, and a lower spring 11. The upper connecting block 12, the lower connecting block 9, the upper positioning block 13, and the lower positioning block 10 are all arc-shaped plate structures, which facilitate better connection and positioning of the cylindrical structure formed by the semi-cylindrical upper connecting shaft 7 and the lower connecting shaft 5. The upper positioning block 13 and the lower positioning block 10 are respectively connected to the inner end surfaces of the upper connecting block 12 and the lower connecting block 9 by the upper spring 14 and the lower spring 11, so that the upper connecting block 12 and the upper positioning block 13, and the lower connecting block 9 and the lower positioning block 10 are respectively connected together by the upper spring 14 and the lower spring 11. At the same time, the distance between the upper connecting block 12 and the upper positioning block 13, and the distance between the lower connecting block 9 and the lower positioning block 10 can be adjusted. An upper hinge joint 20 and a lower hinge joint 19 are welded to one end of the upper connecting block 12 and the lower connecting block 9, respectively, so that the upper hinge joint 20 and the lower hinge joint 19 are connected to the upper connecting block 12 and the lower connecting block 9, respectively. The upper hinge joint 20 and the lower hinge joint 19 are connected by a hinge shaft 21, thereby intersecting and connecting the upper connecting block 12 and the lower connecting block 9, allowing the upper connecting block 12 and the lower connecting block 9 to rotate relative to each other about the hinge shaft 21, thereby connecting and disconnecting the upper connecting shaft 7 and the lower connecting shaft 5. An upper connecting plate 23 and a lower connecting plate 22 are welded to the other end of the upper connecting block 12 and the lower connecting block 9, respectively, so that the upper connecting plate 23 and the lower connecting plate 22 are connected to the upper connecting block 12 and the lower connecting block 9, respectively. An upper connecting groove 25 and a lower connecting groove 24 are respectively provided on the upper connecting plate 23 and the lower connecting plate 22. A connecting rod 27 is rotatably connected to the lower connecting groove 24 through a rotating shaft 26. An external thread 28 is provided on the connecting rod 27, and a fastening nut 29 is threadedly connected to the external thread 28. When the connecting rod 27 is rotated into the upper connecting groove 25 and the lower connecting groove 24, the upper connecting plate 23 and the lower connecting plate 22 are connected together by tightening the fastening nut 29, so that the upper connecting plate 23 and the lower connecting plate 22 are connected together by fastening the nut 29, and then the upper connecting block 12 and the lower connecting block 9 are connected together, thereby realizing the connection between the upper connecting shaft 7 and the lower connecting shaft 5. The outer end faces of the upper connecting block 12 and the lower connecting block 9 are respectively connected to the upper clamping plate 18 and the lower clamping plate 17. The upper clamping plate 18 or the lower clamping plate 17 is movably arranged on the limit plate 16 and the support plate 15 and the cross bar 2 to directly form a limit groove structure, so that the upper clamping plate 18 or the lower clamping plate 17 is limited by the limit groove structure, and then the upper connecting block 12 and the lower connecting block 9 are limited, thereby preventing the connecting component from automatically detaching from the limit groove structure.

[0020] Reference Figure 1A positioning assembly is provided on the crossbar 2 to prevent the upper or lower drying net 8 or 6 from rotating automatically. The positioning assembly includes a positioning rod 31, which is movably mounted within a connecting hole formed in the crossbar 2. Positioning holes 30 corresponding to the connecting holes are defined at both ends of the upper and lower drying nets 8 and 6, respectively. When the positioning rod 31 is inserted into the positioning holes 30, the upper or lower drying net 8 or 6 is positioned correctly, preventing the upper or lower drying net 8 or 6 from rotating automatically relative to the crossbar 2 and causing the Chinese medicinal materials on the upper or lower drying net 8 or 6 to fall.

[0021] When in use, first, spread the Chinese medicinal materials evenly on the lower drying net 6. When it is time to turn over after drying, place the upper drying net 8 on the lower drying net 6 to cover the Chinese medicinal materials on the lower drying net 6. At this time, the upper connecting shaft 7 and the lower connecting shaft 5 are both located in the rotating groove 4. Then, rotate the upper connecting block 12 so that the upper positioning block 13 conflicts with the upper connecting shaft 7. Then, rotate the connecting rod 27 into the upper connecting groove 25, and then tighten the fastening nut 29. Then, The positioning rod 31 is pulled out from the positioning hole 30, and the upper drying net 8 and the lower drying net 6 are rotated to flip the upper drying net 8 and the lower drying net 6. Then, the positioning rod 31 is inserted into the positioning hole 30 on the upper drying net 8. Then, the fastening nut 29 is loosened, and the connecting rod 27 is removed from the upper connecting groove 25. Then, the lower connecting block 9 is rotated to disengage the lower positioning block 10 from the lower connecting shaft 5. Finally, the lower drying net 6 is disengaged from the upper drying net 8 to complete the overall turning operation of the Chinese medicinal materials.

[0022] Unless otherwise specified, the device components involved in the above embodiments are all conventional device components, and the structural settings, working modes or control modes involved are all conventional settings, working modes or control modes in the art unless otherwise specified.
