[0024] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a device for drying and homogenizing Chinese medicinal materials, including a box body 1. Multiple rollers 2 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the box body 1. A box door 3 is movably installed on the front of the box body 1 through multiple hinges. A hot air blower body 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the box body 1. An outlet sleeve 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the box body 1.

[0026] In this embodiment of the utility model, the pipe of the external ventilation equipment is connected to the outlet sleeve 5 using connecting parts. By placing the Chinese medicinal materials into the inside of the box 1 and closing the box door 3, the hot air blower body 4 is started through the control panel on the box door 3. The hot air blower body 4 heats the air and then sends the hot air into the drying chamber, so that the Chinese medicinal materials evaporate moisture under the action of hot air. The air inside the box 1 is then filtered through the outlet sleeve 5 and flows out through the external ventilation equipment.

[0027] Figures 1 to 6 As shown, two sets of side shells 6 are installed on the inner walls of both sides of the box 1, and the height of one set of side shells 6 is slightly lower than that of the other set of side shells 6. A side strip 7 is movably installed on the inner side of each side shell 6, and a shaft bracket 8 is fixedly installed on one side of each side strip 7. A long sleeve block 9 is movably installed on each shaft bracket 8. A frame 10 is fixedly installed between two long sleeve blocks 9 at corresponding positions in each set. Multiple inclined plates 11 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the box 1 near the side shell 6 with a lower height, and the inclined plates 11 are correspondingly set at the bottom of the side shell 6. A connecting shell 12 is fixedly installed on the multiple inclined plates 11, and the connecting shell 12 is fixed to the box 1. An inner frame 13 is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the box 1, and the inner frame 13 is located at the bottom of the frame 10 at the bottom end. A water tank 14 is placed on the inner side of the bottom wall of the box 1.

[0028] In this embodiment of the utility model, the side strip 7 on one side of the frame 10 is first inserted into the inner side of the side shell 6 on one side of the box 1. The frame 10 is rotated so that the long sleeve block 9 rotates around the shaft frame 8 under the action of external force. This allows the side strip 7 on the other side of the frame 10 to be inserted into the inner side of the side shell 6 on the other side of the box 1. By placing the Chinese medicinal materials on the inclined frame 10, the water vapor accumulated on the inclined frame 10 flows along the lower part of the frame 10 until it drips onto the inclined plate 11. The water vapor on the inclined plate 11 flows into the water tank 14 through the connecting shell 12. The water vapor accumulated in the box 1 flows towards the bottom of the box 1 and flows into the water tank 14 through the inner frame 13. The staff regularly treats the water vapor collected in the water tank 14 to prevent the water vapor in the box 1 from accumulating and dripping onto the Chinese medicinal materials being dried, thereby improving the quality of drying the Chinese medicinal materials.

[0029] Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a ring 15 is movably installed on the inner side of the outlet sleeve 5, a filter 16 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the ring 15, and a plurality of arc shells 17 are fixedly installed around the ring 15. A spring 18 is connected to the inner side of each arc shell 17, and a locking block 19 is fixedly installed at the end of each spring 18. The locking block 19 is located inside the arc shell 17. A plurality of locking shells 20 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of one side of the housing 1. Each locking shell 20 has a locking groove, and each locking block 19 is located inside the locking groove of the locking shell 20 at each corresponding position.

[0030] In this embodiment of the utility model, the locking block 19 is squeezed against the locking shell 20 under the action of external force, so that the locking block 19 can move into the inner side of the arc shell 17. By rotating the handle on the ring 15, the ring 15 is driven by external force through the arc shell 17 and the spring 18 to move the locking block 19 out of the locking groove of the locking shell 20, so that the locking block 19 no longer fixes the filter 16 through the ring 15, thus making it easy to remove the filter 16 and facilitate the cleaning work of the filter 16 by the staff.

[0031] When installing the filter 16, move the handle of the moving ring 15 to move the arc shell 17 to the slot side of the clamping shell 20, so that the filter 16 is inside the outlet sleeve 5. Rotate the handle of the ring 15 to make the clamping block 19 engage with the inside of the clamping slot of the clamping shell 20 to fix the ring 15 and the filter 16.

[0032] Working principle: The staff connects the duct of the external ventilation equipment to the outlet sleeve 5 using connecting parts. By placing the Chinese medicinal materials on the inclined frame 10 and closing the box door 3, the hot air blower 4 is started through the control panel on the box door 3. The hot air blower 4 heats the air and then sends the hot air into the drying chamber, causing the Chinese medicinal materials to evaporate moisture under the action of hot air. The water vapor accumulated on the inclined frame 10 flows along the lower part of the frame 10 until it drips onto the inclined plate 11. The water vapor on the inclined plate 11 flows into the water tank 14 through the connecting shell 12. The water vapor accumulated inside the box 1 flows towards the bottom of the box 1 and flows into the water tank 14 through the inner frame 13. The air inside the box 1 is then filtered through the outlet sleeve 5 and flows out through the external ventilation equipment.

[0033] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
