[0016] 2. The motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, so that the inner cavity cylinder rotates in the outer cavity cylinder, this dynamic drying mode can make the traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces constantly tumble during the drying process, ensuring that each decoction piece can fully contact the hot air flow, avoiding the problems of local overheating or incomplete drying, at the same time, the rotating inner cavity cylinder also helps to speed up the evaporation speed of moisture, further improving the drying efficiency.
[0017] 3. By adjusting the power of the electric heating wire net and the air volume of the air blower, the temperature and flow rate of the hot air flow can be accurately controlled, which is very important for some heat-sensitive traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, can avoid damaging effective components due to too high temperature, at the same time, reasonable temperature and flow rate can also ensure that the color, smell and other qualities of the traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces are not affected during the drying process.
[0018] 4. The operation of the equipment is very simple, and during the drying process, the traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces do not need to be frequently turned manually, reducing the labor intensity and human error. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
