Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a drying device for storing Chinese herbal medicine slices, including a drying cabinet 1. A fan 2 and a heater 3 are fixedly connected to one side of the drying cabinet 1. The air outlet of the fan 2 is connected to the inside of the heater 3 through a pipe. Ventilation holes 4 are opened on both sides of the drying cabinet 1, and the ventilation holes 4 are connected to one side of the heater 3. A placement rack 5 is provided inside the drying cabinet 1. A drive assembly 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drying cabinet 1. The drive assembly 6 is used to rotate the placement rack 5. The placement rack 5 includes a drive shaft 51 that rotates at the bottom of the drying cabinet 1 through bearings. A connecting shaft 52 is rotatably connected inside the drive shaft 51 through bearings. A placement tray 53 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting shaft 52, and a flipping component 54 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting shaft 52. The flipping component 54 is located on the placement tray 53. Through the setting of the drive shaft 51, the connecting shaft 52 can be passed through it. Then, the placement tray 53 is fixed to the top of the drive shaft 51, so that the Chinese herbal medicine pieces can be placed. The flipping component 54 is fixed to the surface of the connecting shaft 52, so that when the connecting shaft 52 rotates, it can drive the flipping component 54 to rotate synchronously, thereby flipping the Chinese herbal medicine pieces on the placement tray 53, so that they can be dried more evenly. Through the setting of the drive shaft 51 and the connecting shaft 52, they can rotate in opposite directions.

[0025] according to Figure 1 It is known that the drying cabinet 1 is equipped with a sealing component 7, which is used to block the air vent 4. By setting the sealing component 7, it can allow air to pass through or block the air vent 4, thereby reducing the amount of air entering the drying cabinet 1.

[0026] according to Figure 2 It is known that the flipping assembly 54 includes a fixing rod 541 fixed to the surface of the connecting shaft 52. A flipping plate 542 is fixedly connected to the end of the fixing rod 541. The flipping plate 542 is located on the placement tray 53. By fixing the fixing rod 541 to the surface of the connecting shaft 52, the flipping plate 542 fixed by the fixing rod 541 can be rotated synchronously when the connecting shaft 52 rotates, thereby flipping the Chinese herbal medicine pieces on the placement tray 53 to make the drying effect better.

[0027] according to Figure 3It is known that the sealing assembly 7 includes a winding machine 71 and an idler wheel 75, which are respectively fixed to the top wall inside the drying cabinet 1. A connecting rope 72 is wound around the surface of the winding machine 71. The end of the connecting rope 72 passes through the idler wheel 75 and is fixedly connected to a sealing plate 73. The sealing plate 73 is located on one side of the vent hole 4. Driven by the winding machine 71, the connecting rope 72 is stretched, thereby driving the sealing plate 73 to adjust up and down. Through the up and down adjustment of the sealing plate 73, the sealing plate 73 and the vent hole 4 are misaligned. When the sealing plate 73 and the vent hole 4 are in the same position, the air inside the drying cabinet 1 circulates. Conversely, when the sealing plate 73 and the vent hole 4 are misaligned, the air inside the drying cabinet 1 is sealed.

[0028] according to Figure 3 It can be seen that the sealing plate 73 is slidably connected to the two sides of the limiting frame 74. The limiting frame 74 is fixed inside the drying cabinet 1. The limiting frame 74 can guide and limit the two sides of the sealing plate 73.

[0029] according to Figure 2 As can be seen, the drive assembly 6 includes a servo motor and three sets of bevel gears. The three sets of bevel gears are meshed and connected to each other. Two sets of bevel gears are fixedly connected to the ends of the drive shaft 51 and the connecting shaft 52, respectively. The other set of bevel gears is connected to the output end of the servo motor and is driven by the servo motor to rotate the bevel gears. When one set of bevel gears rotates, it can drive the other two sets of bevel gears to rotate, thereby making the drive shaft 51 and the connecting shaft 52 rotate synchronously.

[0030] according to Figure 4 It can be seen that the front of the drying cabinet 1 is connected to a sealing door 8 by a hinge. A transparent window is installed inside the sealing door 8. The sealing door 8 can seal the front of the drying cabinet 1, and the observation window makes it easy to see the inside of the drying cabinet 1.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, the fan 2 and heater 3 on one side of the drying cabinet 1 are driven to generate gas that enters the heater 3. The heater 3 then heats the gas. The heated gas is then output through the vent 4 into the drying cabinet 1, where it can be dried. The placement rack 5 is used to place the Chinese herbal medicine pieces. Driven by the drive component 6, the placement rack 5 rotates, thereby achieving a better and more uniform drying effect for the Chinese herbal medicine pieces.

[0032] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
