[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] like Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides an efficient Chinese medicinal herb drying device.

[0024] A high-efficiency Chinese medicinal herb drying device includes a drying chamber 1. Two sealing plates 2 are symmetrically and movably installed on the front of the drying chamber 1. Two air supply pipes 3 are symmetrically installed inside the drying chamber 1. Multiple fans 4 are installed on the air supply pipes 3. A heating box 5 is fixedly installed between two opposing fans 4. A uniform drying mechanism 6 is provided on the drying chamber 1. The uniform drying mechanism 6 includes multiple motors 7 fixedly installed on the drying chamber 1. A drying mesh tray 8 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 7. A support rod 9 is fixedly installed on the top of the inner wall of the drying chamber 1. The support rod 9 is movably connected to the drying mesh tray 8. A fixing frame 10 is provided on the support rod 9. Multiple levers 11 are uniformly fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixing frame 10. By setting up the heating box 5, the Chinese medicinal materials can be evenly spread on the drying mesh tray 8 during the drying process. After placing the Chinese medicinal materials on the drying mesh tray 8, the sealing plate 2 is closed to seal the drying box 1. The fan 4 and the heating box 5 are started for heating, and the motor 7 is started to drive the drying mesh tray 8 to rotate. Since the support rod 9 is movably connected to the drying mesh tray 8, the fixing frame 10 installed on the support rod 9 will not rotate with the drying mesh tray 8. When the drying mesh tray 8 drives the Chinese medicinal materials to rotate, the fixing frame 10 and the lever 11 can push and spread the Chinese medicinal materials, so that the Chinese medicinal materials are spread flat in the drying mesh tray 8, avoiding the accumulation of Chinese medicinal materials, making the drying of Chinese medicinal materials more uniform, and improving the drying quality.

[0025] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-4As shown, the support rod 9 and the fixed frame 10 are movably connected. The fixed frame 10 is fixedly mounted with a support frame 12. The support frame 12 is movably mounted with a limit rod 13. The support frame 12 is equipped with a magnetic plate 14 connected to the limit rod 13. The support rod 9 is fixedly mounted with an electromagnet 15. Above the drying tray 8, there are multiple support frames 16 fixedly mounted on the top of the inner wall of the drying chamber 1. The bottom of the support frame 16 is equipped with a grid frame 17. The grid frame 17 is equipped with a drying block 18. The support frame 16 is equipped with absorbent cotton 19. The two sides of the support frame 16 are fixedly mounted with fixed blocks 20. The fixed blocks 20 are symmetrically mounted with two springs 21 inside. One end of the spring 21 is fixedly mounted with a locking rod 22. The two sides of the grid frame 17 are fixedly mounted with locking blocks 23. The diameter of the locking rod 22 matches the inner diameter of the locking groove on the locking block 23, and one end of the locking rod 22 is arc-shaped. With the support frame 12, limiting rod 13, magnetic plate 14 and electromagnet 15, the fixed frame 10 is movably mounted on the support rod 9, allowing the fixed frame 10 to be raised and lowered on the support rod 9. This adjusts the gap between the lever 11 and the drying mesh tray 8 according to the thickness of the Chinese medicinal materials. After adjustment, the limiting rod 13 is pushed to attach the magnetic plate 14 to the electromagnet 15, so that the magnetic plate 14 and the electromagnet 15 attract each other to fix the fixed frame 10, thus facilitating the spreading and drying of various Chinese medicinal materials. With the support frame 16, mesh frame 17, drying block 18 and absorbent cotton 19, water vapor is generated during the drying process. Conventional drying devices are equipped with exhaust vents to discharge water vapor, but this leads to heat loss. Inside the drying chamber 1, a drying block 18 and absorbent cotton 19 are installed to absorb rising water vapor, thus preventing water vapor from accumulating at the top of the drying chamber 1 and dripping, and also preventing heat loss. Through the setting of fixing block 20, spring 21, locking rod 22 and locking block 23, the grid frame 17 and the support frame 16 are connected by the locking rod 22 and locking block 23. Since the locking rod 22 and locking block 23 are elastically connected by the support of spring 21, the locking block 23 can be detached from the two locking rods 22, making it easy to disassemble the grid frame 17 from the support frame 16 and replace the drying block 18. At the same time, the matching of the diameter of the locking rod 22 with the inner diameter of the locking groove on the locking block 23 makes the locking connection more stable and prevents shaking and falling off. Furthermore, by setting one end of the locking rod 22 to be arc-shaped, it is easier for the locking block 23 to squeeze and extend the locking rod 22 during disassembly and assembly.

[0026] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-4As shown, a first Velcro 24 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the support frame 16, a second Velcro 25 is fixedly installed on the top of the absorbent cotton 19, and a viewing window 26 is fixedly installed on the sealing plate 2. Through the arrangement of the first Velcro 24 and the second Velcro 25, the absorbent cotton 19 and the support frame 16 are connected by the adhesion of the first Velcro 24 and the second Velcro 25. After the mesh frame 17 is removed, the first Velcro 24 and the second Velcro 25 can be separated by pulling the absorbent cotton 19, thus removing the absorbent cotton 19 from the support frame 16 for easy cleaning and replacement. The viewing window 26 allows for direct observation of the spread of the medicinal herbs in the drying tray 8 during the drying process.

[0027] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, the working process of the efficient Chinese herbal medicine drying device provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0028] After placing the Chinese medicinal herbs in the drying mesh tray 8, the sealing plate 2 is then closed to seal the drying chamber 1. The fan 4 and heating chamber 5 are started for heating, and the motor 7 is started to drive the drying mesh tray 8 to rotate. Since the support rod 9 is movably connected to the drying mesh tray 8, the fixing frame 10 installed on the support rod 9 will not rotate with the drying mesh tray 8. When the drying mesh tray 8 drives the Chinese medicinal herbs to rotate, the fixing frame 10 and the lever 11 can push and spread the Chinese medicinal herbs, so that the Chinese medicinal herbs are spread flat in the drying mesh tray 8, avoiding the accumulation of Chinese medicinal herbs and making the drying of Chinese medicinal herbs more uniform.

[0029] The foregoing description illustrates and describes several preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, as previously stated, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the forms disclosed herein and should not be construed as excluding other embodiments. It can be used in various other combinations, modifications, and environments, and can be altered within the scope of the present invention's conception through the foregoing teachings or related technical or knowledge. Any modifications and variations made by those skilled in the art that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention should be within the protection scope of the appended claims.
