Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicinal material processing technology, and in particular to a drying device for Chinese herbal medicine slices. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction pieces refer to TCM herbs that have undergone processing according to requirements, for use in prescriptions, or that can be directly used in TCM clinical practice. Fresh TCM raw materials are cleaned and sliced ​​to obtain TCM decoction pieces with high moisture content, which are then sun-dried or oven-dried. Currently, existing technologies for drying TCM decoction pieces use drum-type or cabinet-type drying equipment. While drum-type drying equipment has high drying efficiency, it can cause agitation and damage to the TCM decoction pieces during rotation. Cabinet-type drying equipment, although not involving rotation, has a smaller capacity and is mainly used for laboratory drying.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a simple, efficient, and reliable drying device for Chinese herbal medicine slices. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a drying device for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A drying device for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces includes a skid-mounted drying chamber with bidirectional openings, a front door at the front end of the drying chamber, a rear door at the rear end of the drying chamber, a hot air blower and a blower at the top of the drying chamber, an industrial control computer mounted on the drying chamber and electrically connected to the hot air blower and the blower, and several trolleys inside the drying chamber. An air supply pipe is installed on each side of the inner wall of the drying chamber. An air outlet pipe is installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the drying chamber and along the direction of the drying chamber. Several air outlets are provided on the air outlet pipes, and the air outlets face the trolleys. Each trolley includes a rectangular frame, several casters at the bottom of the frame, several compartments within the frame, and material trays placed in the compartments. The material trays contain the traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces to be dried.

[0006] Furthermore, the material tray has several mesh openings.

[0007] Furthermore, a trolley ramp is provided at the front and rear ends of the skid-mounted drying box.

[0008] Furthermore, the skid-mounted drying chamber is equipped with a temperature and humidity sensor that is electrically connected to the industrial control computer.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0010] (1) This utility model has a skid-mounted drying box with a two-way opening, which makes it easier to push the trolley in and out. When the trolley position is changed, it can be done from the front box door and the rear box door at the same time, making it more convenient and reliable to use.

[0011] (2) This utility model sets up a trolley and several compartments, and puts the material tray containing the Chinese herbal medicine slices to be dried into the compartments, which has high handling and drying efficiency.

[0012] In summary, this utility model has the advantages of simple structure, high efficiency and reliability, and has high practical and promotional value in the field of medicinal material processing technology. Attached Figure Description
