[0028] Example:
[0029] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown:
[0030] This utility model provides a drying device for processing traditional Chinese medicine, including a box body 1 and a mesh bucket 2. The box body 1 has a first mounting groove 3 inside. Several first square posts 4 are mounted on one side of the first mounting groove 3, and a dryer 5 is mounted on the other side of the first mounting groove 3. A recycling box 6 is mounted at the bottom of the first mounting groove 3. Several electric telescopic rods 7 are mounted on one side of the box body 1, and each electric telescopic rod 7 is parallel to each first square post 4. The output end of each electric telescopic rod 7 passes through one side of the box body 1 and extends into the interior of the box body 1. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 7 rotates... A second square column 8 is installed on the movable part of the housing 1. A drive assembly is installed on one side of the housing 1. A pair of mounting blocks 9 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the mesh bucket 2. Each pair of mounting blocks 9 has a square groove 10 on its opposite side. A pair of first mounting strips 11 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the mesh bucket 2. A detachable mesh cover 12 is installed on the top of the mesh bucket 2. A pair of second mounting strips 13 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the detachable mesh cover 12. Several through holes 14 are provided on both sides of the top of the first mounting strips 11 and the second mounting strips 13. A locking pin assembly is installed in the two through holes 14 located in parallel positions.
[0031] The dimensions of the first square post 4 and the second square post 8 are matched with the dimensions of the square groove 10. When installing the grid bucket 2, the workers first insert the square groove 10 at one end of the grid bucket 2 into the first square post 4, then align the square groove 10 at the other end with the second square post 8 and control the electric telescopic rod 7 to extend, so that the second square post 8 enters the square groove 10, thereby enabling the first square post 4 and the second square post 8 to fix the grid bucket 2 at the same time.
[0032] The drive assembly includes a mounting base 15, which is installed on one side of the housing 1. The mounting base 15 has a second mounting groove 16 inside. A worm gear 17 is installed in the second mounting groove 16 at a position parallel to each of the first square posts 4. The worm gear 17 is connected to the first square posts 4 through a connecting block. A connecting rod 18 is installed on one side inside the second mounting groove 16. Several worms 19 are installed inside the connecting rod 18. Since the worm gear 17 is meshed with the worm 19, when the connecting rod 18 drives the worm 19 to rotate, the worm gear 17 rotates together, which in turn drives the first square posts 4 to rotate through the connecting block, thereby driving the mesh bucket 2 to rotate, so that the Chinese herbal medicines located in the mesh bucket 2 can be fully dried.
[0033] Each worm 19 is meshed with each worm wheel 17.
[0034] The bottom end of the second mounting slot 16 is equipped with a motor 20, and the output end of the motor 20 is connected to the connecting rod 18 through a coupling. The motor 20 drives the connecting rod 18 to rotate, which in turn drives the worm gear 19 to rotate.
[0035] The locking pin assembly includes a column 21, with a third mounting groove 22 at its top. A movable column 23 is threadedly connected to the top of the third mounting groove 22. A trapezoidal block 24 is installed at the bottom of the movable column 23. A limit block 25 is installed at the top of the periphery of the column 21. Several spherical grooves 26 are provided through the bottom of the periphery of the column 21, and ball bearings 27 are installed in the spherical grooves 26. After the column 21 is inserted into the through hole 14 located parallel to the first mounting strip 11 and the second mounting strip 13, the operator rotates the movable column 23. Since the movable column 23 is threadedly connected to the third mounting groove 22... At the top, the moving column 23 moves downward and squeezes the ball 27, causing the ball 27 to extend a certain length from the other side of the spherical groove 26. It cooperates with the limiting block 25 to fix the first mounting strip 11 and the second mounting strip 13 together. When it is necessary to remove the detachable mesh cover 12, the operator can rotate the moving column 23 in the opposite direction so that the hypotenuse of the trapezoidal block 24 moves to a position parallel to the ball 27, so that the ball 27 is no longer limited by the trapezoidal block 24. At this time, when the column 21 is removed from the through hole 14, the ball 27 is squeezed to the inside of the spherical groove 26, completing the disassembly.
[0036] The dimensions of the column 21 match the dimensions of the through hole 14.
[0037] The top of the cabinet 1 is equipped with a dehumidifying fan 28 to facilitate the removal of moisture accumulated during the drying process.
[0038] The box body 1 has a door 29 installed on one side, and an observation window 30 is provided on one side of the door 29 to facilitate the installation and removal of the mesh bucket 2 and to observe the drying process at any time.
[0039] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When using the drying device for processing Chinese herbal medicines to dry the herbs, the operator first places the herbs to be dried into the mesh bucket 2, then places the removable mesh cover 12 on the top of the mesh bucket 2, aligning the first mounting strip 11 with the second mounting strip 13. Then, the column 21 is inserted into the through hole 14 located parallel to the first mounting strip 11 and the second mounting strip 13, and the moving column 23 is rotated. Since the moving column 23 is threaded to the top of the third mounting groove 22, the moving column 23 moves downwards. The ball bearing 27 is compressed, causing it to extend a certain length from the other side of the spherical groove 26. This extension, in conjunction with the limiting block 25, secures the first mounting strip 11 and the second mounting strip 13 together. After installation, the operator opens the door 29 and inserts the mesh bucket 2 into the first mounting groove 3. During installation, the operator first connects the square groove 10 at one end of the mesh bucket 2 to the first square post 4. Then, the operator aligns the square groove 10 at the other end with the second square post 8 and controls the electric telescopic rod 7 to extend, allowing the second square post 8 to enter the square groove. Within 10 seconds, the first square column 4 and the second square column 8 can simultaneously fix the mesh bucket 2. After all the mesh buckets 2 are installed, the staff closes the box door 29 and turns on the dryer 5 and the dehumidification fan 28 to dry the Chinese herbal medicines. During the drying process, the staff turns on the motor 20, which drives the connecting rod 18 to rotate, which in turn drives the worm gear 19 to rotate. Since the worm wheel 17 is meshed with the worm gear 19, the worm wheel 17 rotates together, which in turn drives the first square column 4 to rotate through the connecting block, thereby driving the mesh bucket 2 to rotate. The Chinese herbs located in the grid bucket 2 can be continuously turned over and fully dried, improving the drying effect and efficiency. After drying, the staff controls the electric telescopic rod 7 to retract, so that the second square column 8 is disengaged from the square groove 10, and the grid bucket 2 is removed. Then, the column 23 is rotated in the opposite direction, so that the hypotenuse of the trapezoidal block 24 is moved to a position parallel to the ball 27, so that the ball 27 is no longer limited by the trapezoidal block 24. At this time, when the column 21 is removed from the through hole 14, the ball 27 is squeezed to the inside of the spherical groove 26, completing the disassembly.
