After the medicinal materials are dried, they need to be picked up and stored manually one by one, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient, and its function is relatively limited. Therefore, we propose a convenient storage-type drying device for processing Chinese herbal medicine slices to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a convenient storage-type drying device for processing Chinese herbal medicine slices, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art that the existing Chinese herbal medicine slice drying devices cannot adjust the drying angle of the herbs during use, which easily leads to uneven drying of the herbs. After the herbs are dried, they need to be picked up and stored manually one by one, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, inefficient, and has a relatively simple function.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a convenient storage-type drying device for processing Chinese herbal medicine slices, comprising a frame, hydraulic cylinders installed at the four corners of one side of the top of the frame, bearings installed on the upper part of the hydraulic cylinders, fixing blocks installed at both ends of the bearings, the fixing blocks being fixedly connected to the top of the hydraulic cylinders, a drying plate installed on the top of the bearings, a rectangular through groove provided in the middle of the drying plate, a drying net installed inside the drying plate, the outer wall of the drying net being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rectangular through groove, first baffles installed at both ends and one side of the top of the drying plate, and another baffle on the top of the drying plate. A rotating plate is installed on one side, and the bottom of the rotating plate is hinged to the drying board. An active roller is installed on one side inside the frame, and several driven rollers are installed on the side of the active roller away from the drying board. A drive motor is installed on the left side of one end of the frame, and the active roller is located on the output shaft of the drive motor. A conveyor belt is connected between the active roller and the driven rollers. A guide plate is installed on the side of the frame near the driven rollers. A controller is installed in the middle of the upper part of one end of the frame, and a humidity sensor is installed on the right side of the controller. An alarm light is installed on one side of the humidity sensor.
[0007] Preferably, the top of the bearing is higher than the height of the fixing block, and the top of the fixing block is rounded.
[0008] Preferably, a rotating shaft is installed on the upper part of the other side of the first baffle at both ends, and a stop block is fixedly installed inside the rotating shaft.
[0009] Preferably, the two ends of the driving roller are fixedly connected to the frame via a coupling and a bearing housing, respectively. The coupling is located on the output shaft of the drive motor, and the two ends of the driven roller are fixedly connected to the frame via the bearing housing.
[0010] Preferably, a second baffle is installed on the side of the top two ends of the frame away from the direction of the hydraulic cylinder.
[0011] Preferably, the output terminal of the humidity sensor is electrically connected to the input terminal of the controller, and the output terminal of the controller is electrically connected to the input terminal of the alarm light.
[0012] Preferably, locking casters are installed around the bottom of the frame.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0014] This invention, through the extension and retraction of hydraulic cylinders on both sides, allows the drying plate to rotate left and right under the action of bearings, thus achieving angle adjustment of the drying net. By rotating the shaft, the stop block is made vertical, eliminating the fixation on the rotating plate. The hydraulic cylinders then tilt the drying plate to the lower right, causing the medicinal materials to fall onto the conveyor belt under gravity. The conveyor belt then transports the medicinal materials to the guide plate and out through it. This invention solves the problems of existing Chinese herbal medicine drying devices, which cannot adjust the drying angle of the medicinal materials during use, easily leading to uneven drying. After the medicinal materials are dried, they need to be manually picked up and stored one by one, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, inefficient, and has a relatively limited function.
[0015] The humidity sensor detects the humidity in the air. When the humidity exceeds the specified value, the humidity sensor sends an electrical signal to the controller, which then sends an electrical signal to the alarm light, illuminating the alarm light. This alerts staff to move the device indoors in time to prevent the medicinal materials from being soaked by rainwater and affecting their quality. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides an embodiment of a convenient storage-type drying device for processing Chinese herbal medicine slices, including a frame 1. Hydraulic cylinders 2 are installed at the four corners of one side of the top of the frame 1. Bearings 4 are installed on the upper part of the hydraulic cylinders 2. Fixing blocks 3 are installed at both ends of the bearings 4, and the fixing blocks 3 are fixedly connected to the top of the hydraulic cylinders 2. A drying plate 5 is installed on the top of the bearings 4. A rectangular through groove is provided in the middle of the drying plate 5. A drying net 6 is installed inside the drying plate 5, and the outer wall of the drying net 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rectangular through groove. First baffles 7 are installed at both ends and one side of the top of the drying plate 5. A rotating plate 8 is installed on the other side of the top of the drying plate 5. The bottom of the moving plate 8 is hinged to the drying plate 5. An active roller 11 is installed on one side inside the frame 1. Several driven rollers 12 are installed on the side of the active roller 11 away from the drying plate 5. A drive motor 13 is installed on the left side of one end of the frame 1. The active roller 11 is located on the output shaft of the drive motor 13. A conveyor belt 14 is connected between the active roller 11 and the driven rollers 12. A guide plate 17 is installed on the side of the frame 1 near the driven rollers 12. A controller 19 is installed in the middle of the upper part of one end of the frame 1. A humidity sensor 20 is installed on the right side of the controller 19. An alarm light 21 is installed on one side of the humidity sensor 20.
[0023] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The top of the bearing 4 is higher than the height of the fixing block 3. The top of the fixing block 3 is rounded to make the angle adjustment of the drying board 5 smoother and to avoid the fixing of the fixing block 3 affecting the angle adjustment of the drying board 5. The rounded corners at the top of the fixing block 3 can avoid damage to the drying board 5 and the drying net 6, thus improving the practicality of the device.
[0024] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A rotating shaft 9 is installed on the upper part of the other side of the first baffle 7 at both ends. A stop block 10 is fixedly installed inside the rotating shaft 9. When the rotating shaft 9 is rotated to make the stop block 10 horizontal, the rotating plate 8 can be fixed, which prevents the medicinal materials from falling due to the rotation of the rotating plate 8. When the rotating shaft 9 is rotated to make the stop block 10 vertical, the fixing of the rotating plate 8 can be removed, which makes it easier to store the dried medicinal materials.
[0025] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The two ends of the drive roller 11 are fixedly connected to the frame 1 through the coupling 15 and the bearing seat 16, respectively. The coupling 15 is located on the output shaft of the drive motor 13. The two ends of the driven roller 12 are fixedly connected to the frame 1 through the bearing seat 16. Through the combined action of the drive motor 13, the coupling 15 and the bearing seat 16, the drive roller 11, the driven roller 12 and the conveyor belt 14 can be rotated, thus realizing the conveying of medicinal materials.
[0026] Please see Figure 1A second baffle 18 is installed on the side of the top two ends of the frame 1 away from the hydraulic cylinder 2. The second baffle 18 can limit the conveyed medicinal materials to prevent them from falling and improve the practicality of the device.
[0027] Please see Figure 1 The output terminal of the humidity sensor 20 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the controller 19, and the output terminal of the controller 19 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the alarm light 21. When the humidity in the air exceeds the specified value, the humidity sensor 20 transmits an electrical signal to the controller 19, and the controller 19 transmits an electrical signal to the alarm light 21 to make the alarm light 21 light up. This can remind staff to move the device indoors in time to avoid the medicinal materials being soaked by rainwater and affecting their quality.
[0028] Please see Figure 1 Locking casters 22 are installed around the bottom of the frame 1. The position of the device can be adjusted by locking casters 22. When it rains, the device can be moved indoors in time. When locking casters 22 are locked, the device can be fixed, which improves the stability and practicality of the device.
[0029] Working principle: During use, the medicinal materials are placed on the drying net 6. By extending and retracting the hydraulic cylinders 2 on both sides, the drying plate 5 can be rotated left and right under the action of the bearing 4, realizing the angle adjustment of the drying net 6. This allows the medicinal materials to be dried at various angles according to the sunlight, making the drying more even. When the rotating shaft 9 is rotated to make the stop 10 horizontal, the rotating plate 8 can be fixed. The first stop 7 and the rotating plate 8 can prevent the medicinal materials from falling or being blown away by the wind during the drying process. After the medicinal materials are dried, the drive motor 13 is started, and the conveyor belt 14 starts to rotate through the active roller 11 and the driven roller 12. Rotating the rotating shaft 9 makes the stop 10 vertical and releases the fixation of the rotating plate 8. The hydraulic cylinder 2 makes the drying plate 5 tilt to the lower right. The medicinal materials fall onto the conveyor belt 14 under the action of gravity. The conveyor belt 14 conveys the medicinal materials to the guide plate 17 and then discharges them from the guide plate 17.
[0030] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention.
