Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air-drying technology, and more specifically, to a rapid air-drying device for the production of traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction pieces are TCM raw materials that have undergone processing according to TCM theory and methods, and can be directly used in TCM clinical practice. This concept indicates that there is no absolute boundary between TCM raw materials and TCM decoction pieces. TCM decoction pieces include some sliced ​​TCM raw materials processed at the place of origin, whole TCM raw material decoction pieces, and decoction pieces that have been cut or processed.

[0003] In the existing method of air-drying round slices of Chinese medicinal herbs, the herbs are usually laid directly on a board for natural air drying. However, in this method, the bottom surface of the herbs is in direct contact with the surface of the board, which can easily lead to inconsistent drying times between the top and bottom surfaces. As a result, the bottom surface of the herbs may not be dry when the top surface is dry. Therefore, we propose a rapid air-drying device for the production of Chinese medicinal herbs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, adapt to the needs of reality, and provide a rapid air-drying device for the production of traditional Chinese medicine, so as to solve the technical problem that the bottom surface of the traditional Chinese medicine slices is in direct contact with the surface of the placement plate, which easily leads to inconsistent air-drying time between the top and bottom surfaces of the traditional Chinese medicine slices.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a rapid air-drying device for the production of traditional Chinese medicine, including an air-drying box, an installation cavity is provided inside the air-drying box, a fixing frame is fixedly connected to one side of the air-drying box, a fan blade is arranged inside the fixing frame, a motor is fixedly connected to the side of the fan blade away from the air-drying box, and a through hole is provided on the side of the air-drying box near the fan blade.

[0006] A guide plate is arranged at the connection between the through hole and the mounting cavity. The guide plate includes a connecting part and a bent part. The bent part bends into the mounting cavity and forms a bend structure with the inner wall of the mounting cavity.

[0007] This invention enables the wind to blow on the surface of the shelf simultaneously, so that the upper and lower surfaces of the Chinese herbal medicine slices can be blown evenly, allowing the surface of the Chinese herbal medicine slices to dry evenly and improving the quality of the Chinese herbal medicine slices.

[0008] Preferably, the inner wall of the mounting cavity is provided with symmetrically arranged inclined surfaces, and the mounting cavity is provided with placement components.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. This utility model sets the side wall of the mounting cavity as an inclined surface, so that when the fan blade is working, the wind force generated by it can be combined with the connecting part and the bending part of the guide plate to form a wind force vortex towards the placement rack when it enters the mounting cavity. This allows the wind to blow on the surface of the placement rack at the same time, so that the upper and lower surfaces of the Chinese herbal medicine slices can be blown evenly, and the surface of the Chinese herbal medicine slices can be dried evenly, thereby improving the quality of the Chinese herbal medicine slices.

[0015] 2. This utility model also incorporates a placement component, which allows for the placement of Chinese herbal medicine slices during the air-drying process using a placement rack. The sliding connection of the placement rack within the mounting groove facilitates the placement and retrieval of the Chinese herbal medicine slices. When placing the Chinese herbal medicine slices, the placement cavity formed between the triangular blocks ensures that each slice is thoroughly air-dried, preventing them from sticking together due to accumulation. This also allows staff to easily observe the Chinese herbal medicine slices during the air-drying process and adjust the airflow intensity accordingly. Attached Figure Description

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention relates to a rapid air-drying device for the production of traditional Chinese medicine, including an air-drying box 1, an installation cavity 2 inside the air-drying box 1, a fixed frame fixedly connected to one side of the air-drying box 1, a fan blade 3 arranged inside the fixed frame, a motor fixedly connected to the side of the fan blade 3 away from the air-drying box 1, and a through hole opened on the side of the air-drying box 1 near the fan blade 3.

[0024] A guide plate 5 is arranged at the connection between the through hole and the mounting cavity 2. The guide plate 5 includes a connecting part 51 and a bending part 52. The bending part 52 bends inward into the mounting cavity 2 and forms a bend structure 53 with the inner wall of the mounting cavity 2. First, by setting the side wall of the mounting cavity 2 as an inclined surface, the wind force generated by the fan blade 3 when it is working can be coordinated by the connecting part 51 and the bending part 52 of the guide plate 5, so that when it enters the mounting cavity 2, it can form a wind vortex towards the placement rack 401, so that the wind can blow on the surface of the placement rack 401 at the same time, so that the upper and lower surfaces of the Chinese herbal medicine slices can be blown evenly, so that the surface of the Chinese herbal medicine slices can be dried evenly, thereby improving the quality of the Chinese herbal medicine slices.

[0025] In an embodiment of this utility model, the inner wall of the mounting cavity 2 is provided with symmetrically arranged inclined surfaces. A placement assembly 4 is arranged inside the mounting cavity 2. The placement assembly 4 includes a placement rack 401 fixedly arranged inside the mounting cavity 2. A mounting groove 402 is opened in the placement rack 401. Limiting blocks are arranged on the inner walls of the symmetrical sides of the mounting groove 402. A placement plate 403 is snapped onto the surface of the limiting blocks. The surface of the placement plate 403 is slidably connected in the mounting groove 402. A groove is opened on the upper end surface of the placement plate 403. A plurality of triangular blocks 404 are arranged at equal intervals in the groove. A placement cavity 405 is formed between the triangular blocks 404. Chinese herbal medicine slices are arranged in the placement cavity 405. A permeable part is opened on the lower end surface of the placement plate 403 and the upper and lower end surfaces of the placement rack 401. The surface of the placement plate 403 is fixedly connected to the air vents and handles. The drying box 1 has sliding holes, and the surface of the placement plate 403 slides within the sliding holes. By setting the placement component 4, the Chinese herbal medicine slices can be placed using the placement rack 401 during the drying process. The sliding connection of the placement rack 401 within the mounting groove 402 facilitates the placement and removal of the Chinese herbal medicine slices. When placing the Chinese herbal medicine slices, the placement cavity 405 formed between the triangular blocks 404 allows for individual placement of each slice, ensuring that each slice is fully dried and preventing them from sticking together. This also allows staff to easily observe the Chinese herbal medicine slices during the drying process and adjust the airflow.

[0026] Working Principle: This embodiment provides a rapid air-drying device for the production of traditional Chinese medicine. In use, the traditional Chinese medicine slices are first laid on the surface of the placement plate 403, and the traditional Chinese medicine slices are separated by the placement cavity 405 formed between the triangular blocks 404, so that the traditional Chinese medicine slices can be placed independently. Then, the placement plate 403 is placed in the mounting groove 402 of the placement rack 401 by the limiting block. Then, the motor is started to drive the fan blade 3 to run. The air force generated by the fan blade 3 first enters the mounting cavity 2 through the through hole, and contacts the surface of the curved part 52 of the guide plate 5 at its inlet. Then, according to the curved part 52, the air force is guided to the inclined surface of the mounting cavity 2. The inclined surface makes the air force form a backflow vortex in the mounting cavity 2, and then contacts the inner corner structure 53 of the curved part 52. The direction of the backflow air force is guided towards the upper and lower sides of the placement rack 401, so that the upper and lower surfaces of the traditional Chinese medicine slices can be dried at the same time, so that the surface drying time of the traditional Chinese medicine slices is consistent.
