Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicinal material processing technology, specifically a drying rack. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) production, drying is a crucial processing procedure. Its core purpose is to dehydrate the medicinal materials while preserving their original components and medicinal properties, thereby achieving long-term preservation and providing stable raw materials for subsequent TCM preparations.

[0003] In current medicinal herb processing, to improve processing efficiency, a common method is to spread the herbs flat on drying trays, then place the trays evenly on drying racks, and finally push the racks into the drying room for drying. This method is indeed efficient in drying medicinal herbs to a certain extent and performs well in ensuring the quality of the dried herbs.

[0004] However, existing technologies have significant drawbacks. Current drying racks lack effective securing mechanisms after trays are placed on them, making it easy for trays to slide freely on the rack during movement, or even slip off. This not only affects the normal movement of the medicinal materials but can also cause them to scatter and become damaged, thus impacting the overall processing progress and quality, and increasing processing costs and time. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings, this utility model provides a drying rack. The drying rack is easy to move by setting casters at the bottom of the frame, so that it is easy to push the medicinal materials into or out of the drying room. At the same time, the setting of several symmetrically distributed support rods at the inner end of the frame facilitates the placement of drying trays. Combined with the pressing and clamping components at both ends of the support rods, the drying trays placed on the support rods are easily fixed, preventing the drying trays from moving randomly when the entire drying rack is moved.

[0006] This utility model is implemented by constructing a drying rack, including a frame with movable casters at the four corners of its bottom.

[0007] Several support rods are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inner end of the frame to support the drying tray;

[0008] The clamping component is slidably mounted on one end of the support rod;

[0009] The clamping component, which is rotatably mounted on the other end of the support rod, combines with the pressing component to fix the drying tray.

[0010] Preferably, several of the support rods are arranged in layers at the inner end of the frame, and each support rod is movably installed in the frame by fasteners to maintain adjustable height.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the support rod has a receiving hole that extends through the top of the support rod, and the clamping assembly is disposed in the receiving hole.

[0012] Preferably, the clamping assembly specifically includes an elastic element and a clamping element. One end of the clamping element is slidably disposed in the receiving hole, and the other end of the clamping element extends to the top of the support rod. One end of the elastic element is fixed to the bottom of the receiving hole, and the other end of the elastic element is fixed to the clamping element.

[0013] Preferably, the side of the clamping member extending to the top of the support rod is a slope, which corresponds to the clamping assembly and is set to be inclined downward.

[0014] Preferably, the clamping assembly includes a rotating disk, which is rotatably disposed in a pre-set slot at the end of the support rod and maintains the rotation direction as up and down;

[0015] The screw is fixed to the outer end of the rotating disk and rotates with the rotating disk;

[0016] A clamping disc, threadedly connected to the screw, rotates on the screw until it is in contact with the top of the support rod when the rotating disc rotates above the support rod.

[0017] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. Stable and secure trays to ensure the safety of medicinal materials: This drying rack has several symmetrically distributed support rods at the inner end of the frame. Combined with the clamping and locking components at both ends of the support rods, it can stably fix the drying trays placed on the support rods. This effectively prevents the drying trays from moving or slipping when the entire drying rack is moved, thus maximizing the integrity of the medicinal materials during the handling process, reducing the scattering and damage of medicinal materials caused by the movement of the trays, and ensuring that the quality of the medicinal materials is not affected.

[0019] 2. Easy to move, improving work efficiency: The drying rack is equipped with casters at the bottom of the frame, making it extremely easy to move. After placing the medicinal materials, staff can easily push it into the drying room; after drying, it can be quickly pushed out of the drying room. Compared with traditional drying racks, it reduces manpower and time costs during transportation, significantly improves the overall efficiency of medicinal material processing, and optimizes the workflow.

[0020] 3. Simple structure and easy maintenance: The overall structure of this drying rack is simple and clear, and the components are easy to install and disassemble. The construction of the clamping and locking components is not complicated, making it easy for staff to perform daily maintenance and troubleshooting. Casters, as common moving parts, have low maintenance and replacement costs, which helps to reduce the later maintenance costs of the drying rack and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0028] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for illustration and explanation of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model in any way. The accompanying drawings in this utility model are only for illustrative purposes and to facilitate understanding of the embodiments and are not intended to limit this utility model in any way.

[0029] It should be noted that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc. shown in the accompanying drawings are only for the purpose of assisting those skilled in the art in understanding and reading the content disclosed in the specification, and are not intended to limit the conditions under which the present invention can be implemented. Any modifications to the structure, changes in the proportions, or adjustments to the size, without affecting the effects and purposes that the present invention can produce, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in the present invention.

[0030] As described in the background section, existing drying racks cannot effectively secure the drying trays after they are placed in them, which may cause the drying trays to slip during movement, thus affecting the movement of the drying rack.

[0031] For the reasons stated above, please refer to the appendix for solutions to these problems. Figure 1 ~Appendix Figure 5 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0032] Example 1,

[0033] Please see the appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 A drying rack includes a frame 1 with movable casters 2 at its four bottom corners;

[0034] Several support rods 3 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inner end of the frame 1 to support the drying tray;

[0035] The clamping component is slidably mounted on one end of the support rod 3;

[0036] The clamping component, which is rotatably mounted on the other end of the support rod 3, is combined with the pressing component to fix the drying tray.

[0037] In this embodiment, to facilitate the installation of support rods 3 within the frame 1, and to facilitate the height adjustment of support rods at adjacent heights, thereby facilitating the placement of drying trays while ensuring that as many trays as possible can be placed, several support rods 3 are arranged in layers at the inner end of the frame 1. Each support rod 3 is movably installed within the frame 1 by fasteners to maintain adjustable height.

[0038] Specifically, the frame 1 can have strip-shaped holes or linearly distributed connecting holes along the height direction, and the two ends of the support rod 3 can be movably connected to the strip-shaped holes or connecting holes of the frame 1 by fasteners (i.e., bolts and nuts).

[0039] Example 2,

[0040] Please see the appendix Figure 3 ~Appendix Figure 5 Based on Embodiment 1, in order to effectively fix the drying tray, a receiving hole is provided at one end of the support rod 3, the receiving hole extends through the top of the support rod 3, and the pressing component is disposed in the receiving hole.

[0041] In this embodiment, the clamping assembly specifically includes an elastic element 8 and a clamping element 4. One end of the clamping element 4 is slidably disposed in the receiving hole, and the other end of the clamping element 4 extends to the top of the support rod 3. One end of the elastic element 8 is fixed to the bottom of the receiving hole, and the other end of the elastic element is fixed to the clamping element 4.

[0042] In this embodiment, the side of the clamping member 4 extending to the top of the support rod 3 is inclined. This inclined surface corresponds to the clamping assembly and is set to be inclined downward. By setting the clamping member to be inclined, it is easy to press it against the edge of the drying tray after contact, avoiding upward movement, thereby achieving effective fixation.

[0043] In this embodiment, the clamping assembly includes a rotating disk 7, which is rotatably disposed in a pre-set slot at the end of the support rod 3 and maintains the rotation direction as up and down.

[0044] Screw 6 is fixed to the outer end of rotating disk 7 and rotates with rotating disk 7;

[0045] The clamping disc 5 is threadedly connected to the screw 6. When the rotating disc 7 rotates above the support rod 3, the clamping disc 5 rotates on the screw 6 until it fits against the top of the support rod 3.

[0046] Before placing the drying tray, the clamping disc 5 is pre-rotated to the outermost end of the screw 6 to separate the clamping disc 5 from the support rod 3. Then, the screw 6 is rotated to the outer end of the support rod 3 by the rotating disc 7 (as shown in the attached diagram). Figure 5 (As shown), then place the drying tray on two symmetrically arranged support rods 3 (the tray's lugs contact the top of the support rods 3, and the sidewalls of the tray contact the sidewalls of the support rods 3, achieving initial fixation of the tray and ensuring that the tray can slide along the support rods). After ensuring that one end of the drying tray contacts the clamping member 4, rotate the screw 6. The clamping disc 5 drives the drying tray to push the clamping member 4 to move, and under the tension of the elastic member 8, it is pressed tightly. Finally, the clamping disc 5 rotates until it contacts the top of the support rod 3 (as shown in the attached diagram). Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 As shown in the figure, this achieves complete fixation of the drying tray, and finally the drying rack can be moved.

[0047] The above description is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of the patent application of the present utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made under the technical spirit of the present utility model should fall within the patent scope covered by the present utility model.
