[0071] Preferably, both the drying rod 205 and the heating rod 204 are copper semi-circular rods, through which the heat generated by the heating rod 206 is transferred to the rotating cylinder 209; the heating rod 206 is a semi-circular rod, and a heating resistance wire is provided inside the heating rod 206; a gap is left between the heating rod 206, the heating rod 204 and the drying rod 205, so that the surface temperature of the heating rod 204 and the drying rod 205 is 50 to 70°C, which can avoid scorching and damage to the structure of the medicinal material while drying the stalks of the herb.
[0072] Preferably, the end cap 103 is a circular plate, and the end cap 103 is fixed to the end of the outer shell 101; multiple rectangular rods with gaps between them are fixed on the end cap 103, and the end cap 103 connects the inside and outside of the rotating drum 209, so that when drying the yellow grass, the moisture in the rotating drum 209 can be discharged from the gaps on the end cap 103.
[0073] Preferably, the gap between the rectangular rods on the end cap 103 is smaller than the diameter of the grass-driving rod, to prevent the grass-driving rod from falling off when the rotating cylinder 209 rotates.
[0074] Preferably, the side wall of the collection box 202 has a rectangular opening, and the door panel 203 is slidably connected to the rectangular opening. When the collection box 202 is full of dust, the door panel 203 on the side wall of the collection box 202 is opened to clean out the dust stored in the collection box 202.
[0075] In practical use, a drying device for processing *Gynostemma pentaphyllum* according to an embodiment of this application is as follows:
[0076] First, the straw stalks to be dried are placed into the rotating drum 209. After closing the sealing door 107, the rotating drum 209 is driven to rotate by an electric motor. The drying rod 205 and heating rod 204 located inside the rotating drum 209 heat and dry the straw stalks. As the rotating drum 209 rotates, the straw stalks are turned over inside the rotating drum 209, so that the straw stalks can be dried more evenly. At the same time, the dust attached to the straw stalks falls off the straw stalks after they are dried. The rotating drum 209 rotates as it rotates. The rotating plate located below the drying rod 205 will swing continuously, causing the dust in the rotating cylinder 209 to enter the lower side of the drying rod 205. The baffle 207 will intercept the dust, allowing it to enter the connecting cavity 201 through the round hole on the rotating cylinder 209, and then enter the collection box 202 from the connecting cavity 201 for temporary storage. After drying is completed, the driven tooth 106 is rotated to the position corresponding to the scale and the mark rod 108, and then the sealing door 107 is opened. Finally, the dried grass stalks are taken out.
