Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicinal material processing equipment, and in particular to a drying component for a drying machine. Background Technology
[0002] Medicinal materials are the raw materials used in pharmaceutical manufacturing. In China, they often refer to Chinese medicinal herbs, which are important raw materials that have not been processed or made into finished products. In order to store medicinal materials for a long time, most of them are dehydrated before storage. In particular, for a precious herb, the medicinal material is usually dried in a drying machine before storage to extend its shelf life.
[0003] When drying medicinal materials, a large number of materials are put in at once. During this process, the materials will gradually shrink in size due to dehydration. As a result, multiple materials may clump together due to shrinkage during the drying process. At this time, it is necessary to spread the materials out again to avoid them clumping together and affecting the drying effect. However, existing drying machines usually require manual turning, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
[0004] Therefore, given that existing drying machines typically require manual turning, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, a drying component for the drying machine is needed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the problem that existing drying machines typically require manual turning, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, this application provides a drying component for a drying machine. During the drying process, when medicinal materials shrink and clump together due to moisture, a drive motor can drive a screw to rotate periodically in both directions, causing a slider to slide on the surface of the drying box, thereby causing the hard brush to reciprocate and flatten the medicinal materials. This eliminates the need for manual leveling at regular intervals, saving time and effort.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A drying component for a drying machine includes a fixed frame. A drying box is connected to the top of the fixed frame via a guide assembly.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0030] Example 1: Refer to Figure 1-4A drying component for a drying machine includes a fixed frame 1. A drying box 3 is connected to the top of the fixed frame 1 via a guide assembly. The guide assembly includes sleeves 2 fixedly connected to the four corners of the top of the fixed frame 1. Each sleeve 2 has a slot 17 at its top, and a locking block 18 is provided on the inner wall of each slot 17. The top of each locking block 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drying box 3, providing support when the drying box 3 is placed on the ground. A drive motor 4 is fixedly connected to the front of the top of the drying box 3. Support blocks 5 are fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the top of the drying box 3. A screw 6 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the front support block 5. The left end of the screw 6 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the drive motor 4, and the outer wall of the screw 6 is threaded. A slider 10 is connected to the rear support block 5. A sliding rod 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rear support block 5. The slider 10 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding rod 7. The bottom of the slider 10 is slidably connected to the top of the drying box 3. A hard brush 15 is connected to the top of the drying box 3 through an adjustment component. The adjustment component includes an electric push rod 8 fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the top of the drying box 3. A support plate 9 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the electric push rod 8. A fixing block 13 is slidably connected to the front and rear sides of the bottom of the support plate 9. A connecting rod 14 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixing block 13. The top of the hard brush 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 14. A telescopic rod 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing block 13. The bottom of the telescopic rod 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the slider 10.
[0031] Specifically, the locking block 18 at the bottom of the drying box 3 provides guidance during installation, ensuring that the drying box 3 and the fixed frame 1 are in the same vertical direction after installation, which facilitates the drying of medicinal materials by hot air. At the same time, when the drying box 3 is taken out and placed on the ground for maintenance, it can provide support for the drying box 3 and prevent the ground from rubbing against the bottom of the drying box 3. The electric push rod 8 can drive the support plate 9 to move and cooperate with the retraction of the telescopic rod 12 to adjust the height of the hard brush 15, so that this part can be used to dry medicinal materials of different sizes. At the same time, after the medicinal materials shrink after drying, the hard brush 15 can still contact and flatten them to ensure the drying effect. The drive motor 4 is a servo motor, which can send commands to the servo driver by the controller. The driver adjusts the direction of the current according to the command, thereby changing the rotation direction of the motor.
[0032] Example 2: Refer to Figure 5 The outer wall of the fixed frame 1 is provided with a protective component, including a protective net 11 located at the top of the fixed frame 1 to isolate the heater 21. A filter 16 is provided at the bottom of the fixed frame 1 to block dust. Fixed platforms 19 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both the left and right ends of the fixed frame 1. A fan 20 is provided on the outer wall of the fixed platform 19. The heater 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 1.
[0033] Specifically, the protective net 11 can isolate the heater 21 to prevent foreign objects from falling onto the heater 21 and causing it to malfunction. At the same time, when the fixed frame 1 is removed for maintenance, it can also prevent other objects from touching or hitting the heater 21. The filter screen 16 is used to filter the air and reduce dust entering the drying machine. Both the protective net 11 and the filter screen 16 are installed on the fixed frame 1 with fixing bolts, which is convenient for disassembly and daily maintenance.
[0034] Working principle: First, the medicinal materials are placed inside the drying box 3. The drive motor 4 drives the screw 6 to rotate periodically in both directions, causing the slider 10 to slide on the surface of the drying box 3, thereby causing the hard brush 15 to reciprocate and flatten the medicinal materials. Then, the fan 20 draws outside air into the drying machine after filtering out dust through the filter screen 16. After being heated by the heater 21, the medicinal materials are dried through the holes at the bottom of the drying box 3. During the drying process, when the medicinal materials shrink and clump together, the electric push rod 8 can be controlled to move the support plate 9 down, causing the telescopic rod 12 to retract and move the hard brush 15 down, so that the hard brush 15 can touch the dryer. When encountering shrunken medicinal materials, the drive motor 4 is restarted to drive the hard brush 15 to move and spread the medicinal materials out to dry again. This process is repeated until the medicinal materials are completely dried. There is no need for workers to constantly manually sort the medicinal materials. When a component malfunctions, the user can first use tools to remove the fixing bolts on the top of the drying box 3, then take the drying box 3 out of the drying machine, place it on the ground and support it with the clamp 18, and then take out the fixing frame 1 through the handles on both sides of the top of the fixing frame 1. Then, use tools to disassemble the protective net 11 and the filter screen 16 in sequence, and inspect the fan 20 and the heater 21.
[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
