Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Drying Chinese herbal slices (usually referring to processed Chinese herbal medicine slices) is a crucial step in the processing of Chinese medicine. Its purpose is to remove excess moisture, prevent mold and insect infestation, and ensure the quality and efficacy of the medicine. The main objective of drying is to remove excess moisture from the processed Chinese herbal medicine slices, preventing them from becoming moldy and spoiled due to excessive water content. Simultaneously, drying also kills mold, pests, and insect eggs, further ensuring the hygiene and safety of the medicine.

[0003] The existing method involves placing Chinese herbs on trays and then putting them one by one into a drying oven to dry them.

[0004] There are some problems with traditional Chinese medicine drying equipment. When traditional Chinese medicine needs to be dried, all the medicine needs to be put into the drying equipment at once. After the medicine is dried, the cabinet door needs to be opened to take it out. After taking it out, the cabinet door needs to be closed again, which causes a large amount of hot air inside the cabinet to flow out. Then, the staff put all the medicine into the drying equipment at once again, which requires the heat inside the cabinet to be gathered again. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a drying device for the production of traditional Chinese medicine. The present invention can avoid heat loss in the drying box, and at the same time, it can continuously place medicinal materials for drying, thereby improving the drying efficiency of medicinal materials.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a drying device for traditional Chinese medicine production, including a drying box, inside which are a first drying chamber and a second drying chamber. Each of the first and second drying chambers is equipped with a pull-out assembly. The pull-out assembly also includes multiple sets of placement grooves arranged on both sides of the inner walls of the first and second drying chambers. Multiple sets of grooves are provided on the side of the drying box, corresponding to the placement grooves. Sliding strips are slidably mounted on each of the placement grooves, and medicinal material placement plates are arranged between the side ends of the sliding strips. An equipment compartment is provided on the drying box, located at the bottom of the first and second drying chambers. A drying assembly is installed inside the equipment compartment for drying the medicinal materials in the drying box; that is, drying the traditional Chinese medicine slices. The herbs are neatly arranged on the herb placement board. Since sliding strips are fixed to both sides of the herb placement board by welding, the operator passes the herb placement board through the groove on the side of the drying chamber, so that the sliding strips enter the placement chute inside the drying chamber. The herb placement board is then pushed so that it is completely inserted into the first and second drying chambers. The drying assembly is then activated to transfer heat to the first and second drying chambers to dry the herbs on the herb placement board. After drying, the operator removes the herb placement board one by one from the placement chute, so that it leaves the drying chamber. The herbs to be dried are then placed back in the original position of the removed herb placement board to prevent heat loss from the drying chamber, and the herb drying operation continues.

[0007] The pull-out assembly also includes multiple sets of fixing plates disposed on both sides of the inner walls of drying chamber one and drying chamber two. All sets of fixing plates are located on the upper surface of the sliding strip. Two sliding columns are provided through each set of fixing plates. Limiting blocks are provided at the ends of the two sliding columns. The limiting blocks are located on the upper surface of the sliding strip. The sliding strip is provided with a V-shaped groove, and the limiting blocks are located in the V-shaped groove; that is, the limiting blocks facilitate the limiting of the sliding strip.

[0008] The pull-out assembly also includes a spring disposed on the outer surface of the sliding column, with the two ends of the spring located on the upper surface of the limiting block and the bottom of the fixing plate, respectively; that is, the spring provides elastic support for the limiting block.

[0009] The medicinal herb placement board has multiple holes; this allows heat to pass through the holes, reducing heat accumulation on the board and thus improving drying speed and uniformity.

[0010] Each side of the herb placement plate is equipped with a handle, which is fixedly installed on the side of the herb placement plate by welding. The handle is located on the side of the drying oven; that is, the handle makes it easy to pull out the herb placement plate, thus providing convenience.

[0011] The drying assembly also includes a hot air blower installed in the equipment compartment. Air outlet pipes are installed on both sides of the hot air blower, and the air outlet ends of the air outlet pipes are located at the bottom of drying chamber one and drying chamber two; that is, the hot air blower provides heat to the air outlet pipes.

[0012] The upper surface of the drying chamber is provided with two steam exhaust pipes, which are located on the upper surface of drying chamber one and drying chamber two; thus facilitating the discharge of the steam accumulated at the top of drying chamber one and drying chamber two.

[0013] In summary, compared with the prior art, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0014] 1. The operator first prepares the Chinese herbal medicine slices to be dried and neatly arranges them on the herbal medicine placement plate. Because the sides of the herbal medicine placement plate are fixed with sliding strips by welding, the herbal medicine placement plate passes through the groove on the side of the drying chamber, so that the sliding strips on the herbal medicine placement plate enter the placement chute. Then, it is pushed so that the entire herbal medicine placement plate enters the first and second drying chambers. After drying, the herbal medicine placement plates are removed one by one from the placement chute, so that the herbal medicine placement plates are removed from the drying chamber. The herbs to be dried on the herbal medicine placement plates are then replaced in the positions of the removed herbal medicine placement plates. This can prevent heat loss in the drying chamber and allow for continuous placement of herbs for drying, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the herbs.

[0015] 2. First, as the personnel insert the medicinal herb placement plate into the placement chute, the insertion end of the sliding bar, being an arc surface, contacts the limiting block, causing the limiting block to move the sliding column upwards. Then, the limiting block contacts the upper surface of the sliding bar. The sliding bar has a V-shaped groove, and the limiting block is located within the V-shaped groove, causing the limiting block to enter the V-shaped groove. Simultaneously, the personnel pull the medicinal herb placement plate again, causing the V-shaped groove on the medicinal herb placement plate to move. This causes the arc surface at one end of the V-shaped groove to contact the arc on the limiting block, causing the limiting block to move the two sliding columns upwards. This provides a limiting function for the sliding bar, preventing the medicinal herb placement plate from moving during the drying process due to slight vibrations of the equipment.
