Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of Dendrobium officinale processing equipment, and in particular, it is a drying device for Dendrobium officinale production. Background Technology

[0002] Dendrobium officinale is a precious traditional Chinese medicine, and drying is a crucial step in its production. Existing drying equipment for Dendrobium officinale production can meet basic drying requirements, but it cannot guarantee the uniformity of drying, leading to unstable quality and increased storage difficulties.

[0003] According to the Chinese patent document (authorization announcement number CN212566674U), this utility model discloses a drying device for the production of Dendrobium officinale, including a drying box. A motor is fixedly connected to the left side of the drying box, and a first mesh plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. A connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the right side of the first mesh plate, and the right side of the connecting shaft passes through the drying box and extends to the right side of the drying box. This invention places the Dendrobium officinale to be dried on top of a first mesh plate. A motor drives the first mesh plate to rotate, causing the Dendrobium officinale to flip. A fan blows air downwards, thus blowing the heat generated by the heating element onto the surface of the Dendrobium officinale. The first mesh plate also drives the connecting shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the disc to rotate. The disc drives the fixing pin to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting rod to move. The connecting rod then drives the diverter pipe to move, thereby rapidly raising the temperature inside the drying chamber and assisting in the drying process. This device can meet basic drying requirements. However, it cannot guarantee the uniformity of drying of the Dendrobium officinale during the drying process, resulting in unstable quality and increased storage difficulty. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drying device for the production of Dendrobium officinale, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a drying device for the production of Dendrobium officinale, comprising a Dendrobium officinale drying box for drying Dendrobium officinale during production, wherein three drying trays are evenly arranged on the vertical inner wall of the Dendrobium officinale drying box, and a bearing is provided at one end of each of the three drying trays. An edge baffle is connected to the movable part of the bearing. A first telescopic rod, a second telescopic rod, a third telescopic rod, a fourth telescopic rod, and a fifth telescopic rod are installed on the vertical inner wall of the Dendrobium officinale drying box. A first push rod, a second push rod, a third push rod, a fourth push rod, and a fifth push rod are respectively installed on the movable parts of the first telescopic rod, the second telescopic rod, the third telescopic rod, the fourth telescopic rod, and the fifth telescopic rod. Three guide plates are installed on the vertical inner wall of the Dendrobium officinale drying box, and a heating rod is installed at the bottom of each drying tray via a bracket.

[0006] Preferably, the side of the Dendrobium officinale drying box is provided with a baffle, and a material picking box is slidably installed inside the baffle. A material picking sealing cover is installed at one end of the material picking box.

[0007] Preferably, the inner bottom wall of the Dendrobium officinale drying box is provided with an L-shaped base, and a hollow column is installed on the top of the L-shaped base. The interior of the hollow column is slidably connected to a support column by a spring.

[0008] Preferably, the end of the support column away from the L-shaped base is connected to a slide rail, and the end of the slide rail away from the support column is slidably connected to the finished product box via a track.

[0009] Preferably, a filter box is connected to the side of the Dendrobium officinale drying box, a filter plate is provided inside the filter box, a motor is installed on the transverse inner wall of the filter box, and a cleaning roller is connected to the output shaft of the motor.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] This drying device for Dendrobium officinale production benefits from the structure of the Dendrobium officinale drying box. The cooperation of multiple telescopic rods and push rods inside the drying box allows the Dendrobium officinale to be spread out and dried multiple times, preventing uneven drying. The drying trays can be stacked and preheated, which gradually increases the temperature of the Dendrobium officinale, making the internal moisture distribution more uniform. This allows for more effective removal of moisture during the actual drying process and ensures uniform drying. This structure guarantees the uniformity of drying of Dendrobium officinale during the drying process, ensuring stable quality and reducing storage difficulties.

[0014] This drying device for Dendrobium officinale production benefits from the structure of the filter box. When the inlet and outlet fans are turned on, air enters through the inlet pipe and flows out through the outlet pipe, which cools the falling Dendrobium officinale and separates some of the debris generated during the drying process. The motor is turned on, and the cleaning roller brush cleans the filter plate. The cleaned debris falls into the recycling box, which can be removed for cleaning. The filter plate can be removed and replaced through the sealing cover, which facilitates collection and replacement and improves the quality of Dendrobium officinale drying.

[0015] This drying device for Dendrobium officinale production benefits from the structure of the finished product box. Due to the action of the spring, the Dendrobium officinale falling into the finished product box has a certain buffering effect. The Dendrobium officinale in the finished product box can be taken out through the sealing cover of the finished product box, preventing the Dendrobium officinale from breaking due to impact during the fall.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with the present invention.

[0023] The connection method can be any existing method, such as bonding, welding, or bolting, depending on the actual needs.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3The diagram shows a drying device for Dendrobium officinale production, including a Dendrobium officinale drying box 1. Three drying trays 114 are evenly arranged on the vertical inner wall of the drying box 1. A certain amount of Dendrobium officinale to be dried is poured in through the feed hood 101 and enters the drying trays 114 inside the drying box 1 through the feed inlet 102 for preheating. Bearings 117 are installed at one end of each of the three drying trays 114. The bearings 117 are existing technology and can be referenced (deep groove ball bearing 620). 5) A bearing 117 consisting of an inner ring, an outer ring, rolling elements, and a cage, divided into a fixed part and a movable part. The fixed part of the bearing 117 is connected to one end of the drying tray 114, and the movable part is connected to the edge baffle 116. The movable part of the bearing 117 is connected to the edge baffle 116. The vertical inner wall of the Dendrobium officinale drying box 1 is equipped with a first telescopic rod 103, a second telescopic rod 105, a third telescopic rod 107, a fourth telescopic rod 110, and a fifth telescopic rod 112. The first telescopic rod 103, the second telescopic rod 105, the third telescopic rod 107, the fourth telescopic rod 110, and the fifth telescopic rod 112 are... 7. The movable parts of the fourth telescopic rod 110 and the fifth telescopic rod 112 are respectively equipped with a first push rod 104, a second push rod 106, a third push rod 108, a fourth push rod 111, and a fifth push rod 113. Three guide plates 109 are installed on the vertical inner wall of the Dendrobium officinale drying box 1. Heating rods 115 are installed at the bottom of each drying tray 114 via brackets. After a period of time, the first push rod 104 pushes the stacked Dendrobium officinale through the guide plates 109 into the next drying tray 114. The second push rod 106 evenly distributes the Dendrobium officinale... The Dendrobium officinale is evenly spread on the drying tray 114 for drying by the heating rod 115. After a period of time, the third push rod 108 pushes the Dendrobium officinale onto the next drying tray 114, and the fourth push rod 111 spreads it evenly again for a second drying. After drying, the fifth push rod 113 pushes the Dendrobium officinale down along the guide plate 109. This preheating process allows the temperature of the Dendrobium officinale to gradually rise, making the internal moisture distribution more uniform. This allows for more effective moisture removal during the actual drying process, improving drying efficiency. Furthermore, the preheating process reduces the impact of sudden temperature changes on the quality of the Dendrobium officinale, helping to maintain its effective components and appearance. For example, some traditional drying methods involve piling the Dendrobium officinale for a period of time to allow it to absorb heat naturally before drying.

[0025] A baffle 502 is provided on the side of the Dendrobium officinale drying box 1. A material picking box 501 is slidably installed inside the baffle 502. A material picking sealing cover 5 is installed at one end of the material picking box 501. When the Dendrobium officinale falls, the material picking sealing cover 5 is pushed, and the material picking box 501 randomly catches part of the Dendrobium officinale. The material picking box 501 can be pulled out to check the preheating of the stack and make timely adjustments to the next drying step of the Dendrobium officinale as needed.

[0026] The inner bottom wall of the Dendrobium officinale drying box 1 is provided with an L-shaped base 3. A hollow column 301 is installed on the top of the L-shaped base 3. A support column 302 is slidably connected to the inside of the hollow column 301 through a spring 303. A slide rail 304 is connected to the end of the support column 302 away from the L-shaped base 3. A finished product box 305 is slidably connected to the end of the slide rail 304 away from the support column 302 through a track. Due to the action of the spring 303, the Dendrobium officinale falling into the finished product box 305 has a certain buffering effect. The Dendrobium officinale in the finished product box 305 can be taken out through the sealing cover 207 of the finished product box.

[0027] A filter box 2 is connected to the side of the Dendrobium officinale drying box 1. A filter plate 401 is installed inside the filter box 2. A motor 403 is installed on the transverse inner wall of the filter box 2. The output shaft of the motor 403 is connected to a cleaning roller 402. A collection box 4 is slidably installed on the inner bottom wall of the filter box 2 via a track. An air outlet duct 203 and a sealing cover 205 are installed on the top of the filter box 2. An air outlet fan 204 is installed inside the air outlet duct 203. A collection box sealing cover 206 is located on the side of the filter box 2. Turn on the intake fan 202 and the exhaust fan 204. Air enters from the intake pipe 201 and flows out from the exhaust pipe 203, which can cool the falling Dendrobium officinale and separate some of the debris produced during the drying of Dendrobium officinale from the Dendrobium officinale. The debris is adsorbed by the filter plate 401. Turn on the motor 403 and the cleaning roller 402 cleans the filter plate 401. The cleaned debris falls into the recycling box 4. The recycling box 4 can be removed for cleaning. The filter plate 401 can be removed and replaced through the sealing cover 205.

[0028] The side of the Dendrobium officinale drying oven 1 is provided with an air inlet pipe 201 and a finished product box sealing cover 207. An air inlet fan 202 is installed inside the air inlet pipe 201. The top of the Dendrobium officinale drying oven 1 is connected to an inlet cover 101 through an inlet port 102. The drying device used for Dendrobium officinale production and the external connection parts are kept sealed during drying.

[0029] The internal temperature of the drying equipment used in Dendrobium officinale production typically varies depending on the drying stage. Generally, in the initial stage, the temperature is set at a lower level, approximately 40℃-50℃, primarily to allow the Dendrobium officinale to gradually adapt to the drying environment and avoid quality damage due to sudden temperature increases. As the drying process progresses, the temperature gradually increases, potentially reaching 60℃-80℃. This temperature range effectively removes moisture from the Dendrobium officinale while maximizing the retention of its active ingredients. In later stages, the temperature may be slightly reduced to ensure uniform drying and prevent over-drying. All components used in the drying equipment for Dendrobium officinale production are made of heat-resistant materials to prevent damage from continuous high temperatures.

[0030] Working principle

[0031] This drying device is used for the production of Dendrobium officinale. In operation, a certain amount of Dendrobium officinale to be dried is first poured into the feed hood 101. The Dendrobium officinale enters the drying tray 114 inside the Dendrobium officinale drying box 1 through the feed inlet 102 for preheating. After a period of time, the first push rod 104 pushes the piled Dendrobium officinale through the guide plate 109 into the next drying tray 114. During the descent, the Dendrobium officinale pushes the material-retrieving sealing cover 5, and the material-retrieving box 501 randomly catches a portion of the Dendrobium officinale. Removing the material-retrieving box 501 allows for checking the preheating status and timely adjustments to the next drying step. The second push rod 106 evenly spreads the Dendrobium officinale on the drying tray 114 for drying by the heating rod 115. After a period of time, the third push rod 108 pushes the Dendrobium officinale onto the next drying tray 114. The fourth push rod 111... The Dendrobium officinale is spread out evenly again for a second drying. After drying, the fifth push rod 113 pushes the Dendrobium officinale, which falls along the guide plate 109. The air intake fan 202 and the air outlet fan 204 are turned on, and air enters from the air intake pipe 201 and flows out from the air outlet pipe 203, which can cool the falling Dendrobium officinale and separate some of the debris generated during the drying process from the Dendrobium officinale. The debris is adsorbed by the filter plate 401. Due to the action of the spring 303, the Dendrobium officinale falling into the finished product box 305 is buffered to a certain extent. The Dendrobium officinale in the finished product box 305 can be taken out through the sealing cover 207. The motor 403 is turned on, and the cleaning roller 402 cleans the filter plate 401. The cleaned debris falls into the recycling box 4, which can be removed for cleaning. The filter plate 401 can be removed and replaced through the sealing cover 205.
