Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of leech processing technology, and in particular to a drying device for processing medicinal leeches. Background Technology

[0002] Leeches have high medicinal value. They grow and reproduce in inland freshwater areas and are a traditional Chinese medicinal aquatic animal. Their dried form, after being processed, is used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat stroke, hypertension, blood stasis, amenorrhea, and injuries. In the production of medicinal leeches, drying equipment is used to dry the cleaned leeches.

[0003] Chinese Patent CN214950235U discloses a medicinal leech drying device, including a drying box with an insulation cavity inside the side wall of the drying box, a heat source component on the top of the drying box connected to the drying box, and multiple hollow tubes inside the drying box, which are horizontally fixed to the inner wall of the drying box. Multiple hooks are provided on the hollow tubes, and one end of each hollow tube is connected to the insulation cavity. The above device has the following drawbacks: opening the feeding door and hanging the leeches sequentially on the hooks inside the drying box for drying is inconvenient and does not improve drying efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drying device for processing medicinal leeches, which facilitates the hanging of leeches and improves drying efficiency.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a drying device for processing medicinal leeches, comprising a drying box and a heating tube fixed inside the drying box, a door opening on one side of the drying box, a door hinged to the outer wall of the door opening, a fixed plate and a driving assembly for driving the fixed plate to move up and down on the drying box, a main shaft in the middle of the drying box, the upper end of the main shaft extending out of the drying box and rotatably connected to the fixed plate, a fixed shaft located inside the drying box fixed along the axial direction of the main shaft, a connecting shaft threadedly connected to the fixed shaft, and multiple hooks fixed on the connecting shaft.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple leeches are hung on hooks, the box door is opened, and the connecting shaft and the fixed shaft are threaded together to install the leeches on the main shaft. This allows the leeches to be hung outside the drying box, improving convenience and drying efficiency. After the leeches are installed on the main shaft, the drive assembly drives the fixed plate and the main shaft to move up and down, thereby causing the leeches on the main shaft to shake and drain the water from the leeches, thus shortening the drying time and improving efficiency.

[0007] A further feature of this invention is that the drive assembly includes a first motor fixed to the drying oven and a cam fixed to the output end of the first motor and abutting against the lower part of the fixed plate.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the first motor drives the cam to rotate, which in turn drives the fixed plate and the main shaft to move up and down to drain the leeches, thus shortening the subsequent drying time.

[0009] A further feature of this invention is that: a guide rod is fixed below the fixing plate and is located on both sides of the main shaft, which is inserted and slides on the drying box; and a spring is fixed between the fixing plate and the outer wall of the drying box and sleeved on the guide rod.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide rod and spring restrict and guide the lifting and lowering of the fixed plate, improve the stability of the reciprocating lifting and lowering of the fixed plate, and thus improve the stability of the draining operation.

[0011] A further feature of this invention is that a second motor for driving the main shaft to rotate is mounted on the fixed plate.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the second motor drives the main shaft to rotate inside the drying chamber, and then the connecting shaft on the main shaft and the leeches on the connecting shaft rotate around the main shaft inside the drying chamber, ensuring that all parts of the leeches can come into uniform contact with the hot air, thereby achieving a more uniform drying effect.

[0013] A further feature of this invention is that a drain box is fixed at the bottom of the drying box, a water trough is provided inside the drain box, a drain hole is provided at the bottom of the drying box leading to the drain box, and the lower end of the main shaft passes through the drying box and extends into the drain box.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when the leech shakes up and down, water flows from the drain hole into the water tank in the drain box, preventing water accumulation and promoting the drying process; the main shaft moves between the two inner walls of the drying box, making it more stable.

[0015] A further feature of this invention is that the fixed shaft has an internal thread, the end of the connecting shaft has a rotatable shaft, and the rotatable shaft has an external thread adapted to the internal thread.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, after the leech is suspended on the hook, the connecting shaft is inserted into the drying box, and the movable shaft is rotated relative to the connecting shaft so that the end of the movable shaft extends into the fixed shaft and the external thread and internal thread are matched and connected, thereby fixing the movable shaft and the fixed shaft relative to each other, and installing the connecting shaft on the main shaft.

[0017] A further feature of this invention is that the hook is fixed with a sleeve rod that is sleeved outside the connecting shaft and slides on the connecting shaft, and the sleeve rod and the connecting shaft are fixedly connected by a fixing device.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding sleeve on the connecting shaft can adjust the spacing between adjacent hooks according to drying needs, and the number of hooks on the connecting shaft can also be adjusted, thereby improving the overall flexibility and applicability of the drying device.

[0019] A further feature of this invention is that the fixing device is a fixing bolt threadedly connected to the sleeve rod and abutting against the connecting shaft.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the number and position of the sleeve rods can be easily adjusted by disassembling and assembling the fixing bolts.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0022] 1. Hang multiple leeches on the hooks, open the box door, and thread the connecting shaft to the fixed shaft to install the leeches on the main shaft. This allows the leeches to be hung outside the drying box, improving convenience and drying efficiency.

[0023] 2. After the leeches are installed on the main shaft, the drive assembly drives the fixing plate and the main shaft to move up and down, thereby causing the leeches on the main shaft to shake and drain the water from the leeches, thus shortening the drying time and improving efficiency.

[0024] 3. The second motor drives the main shaft to rotate inside the drying chamber, and the connecting shaft on the main shaft and the leeches on the connecting shaft rotate around the main shaft inside the drying chamber, ensuring that all parts of the leeches can come into uniform contact with the hot air, thereby achieving a more uniform drying effect.

[0025] 4. The sliding sleeve on the connecting shaft can adjust the spacing between adjacent hooks according to drying needs, and the number of hooks on the connecting shaft can also be adjusted, improving the overall flexibility and applicability of the drying device. Attached Figure Description
