Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine production technology, and in particular relates to a pipeline drying device for traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbs typically require certain processing steps before use. Herbal powder is made by grinding herbs into powder, which contains a certain amount of moisture. Due to the high density of the powder, this moisture cannot dry quickly, making it prone to bacterial growth during long-term storage. This reduces the efficacy of the medicine and affects its quality. Traditionally, the powder is spread out manually for natural air drying. However, this requires periodic stirring, which can cause the powder to scatter, resulting in waste and reduced drying efficiency. This process is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and increases labor costs. Furthermore, it makes packaging the dried powder more difficult and inconvenient to use.

[0003] In addition, traditional drying equipment is a standalone device and cannot be connected to grinding equipment to achieve continuous processing and production. Therefore, the applicant designed a pipeline-type Chinese medicine powder drying equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a pipeline drying device for traditional Chinese medicine, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art. To achieve this purpose, the specific technical solution is as follows:

[0005] A traditional Chinese medicine pipeline drying device includes: a drying cylinder, a jacket, a solenoid valve, a feed hopper, an upper cover, a lower cover, a piston, an electric push rod, a circulation pipe, a hot air pipe, and a controller. The cylindrical jacket is installed on the outside of the drying cylinder. A feed hopper is located on the upper left side of the drying cylinder. The top and bottom of the feed hopper are respectively equipped with a manually openable upper cover and an electrically openable lower cover. The piston is installed on the left side of the drying cylinder, and the outside of the piston is fixedly connected to the movable end of the electric push rod. A solenoid valve is installed on the right side of the drying cylinder. The drying cylinder and the jacket are connected through a circulation pipe. The jacket is equipped with a hot air pipe. The controller is installed on the outside of the jacket and is electrically connected to the electric push rod, the solenoid valve, and the lower cover.

[0006] Furthermore, the jacket and solenoid valve are also equipped with pressure relief valves.

[0007] Furthermore, both the hot air duct and the circulation duct are equipped with air valves.

[0008] Furthermore, the feed hopper has a tubular structure, and a flange is provided at the top of the feed hopper for opening the top cover and connecting to the pipe components.

[0009] Furthermore, the semi-permeable membrane 10 is a microporous filter membrane that can only be permeated by air.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] (1) This utility model adopts a jacketed non-contact heating method, which can avoid hot air directly entering the drying cylinder and causing powder to fly.

[0012] (2) The present invention adopts a pipe structure design to make the heating more uniform and the drying efficiency higher.

[0013] (3) The feed hopper of this utility model is designed with a flange and a top cover for connection. Therefore, it can be used alone or the top cover can be opened and the flange can be directly connected to the discharge pipe of the powder making equipment to achieve continuous processing.

[0014] (4) This utility model uses an electric push rod to push the piston slowly toward the electromagnetic valve to agitate the powder, and at the same time can push the powder out of the drying cylinder completely to avoid residue.

[0015] (5) This utility model is equipped with a circulation pipe for recycling hot air in the drying cylinder to the jacket for reuse, thereby improving heat utilization and saving energy. Attached Figure Description
