Secondly, traditional hot air drying methods struggle to precisely control the temperature gradient, and localized overheating exacerbates the risk of scorching. Thirdly, debris generated from the collision between the material and the drum during rotation mixes into the finished product, affecting the appearance and clinical safety of the processed medicinal slices. Existing improvements primarily focus on optimizing the drum structure or adjusting the hot air circulation system, but these still fail to balance the requirements of drying efficiency and material integrity.

[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a temperature sensor 7, the temperature sensor 7 can detect the temperature inside the insulation box 3. By cooperating with the control device 63, the temperature of the separated spaces inside the insulation box 3 can be maintained. At the same time, multiple temperature sensors 7 can detect the temperature of different areas inside the insulation box 3.

[0026] refer to Figure 2 A humidity sensor 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the insulated box 3. Several humidity sensors 8 are provided and are distributed at equal distances.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a humidity sensor 8, the humidity sensor 8 detects the humidity in different spaces inside the heat preservation box 3. With the help of the control device 63, the heating lamp 62 can be controlled to speed up the drying process, while maintaining the humidity in the separated spaces inside the heat preservation box 3.

[0028] refer to Figure 3 Ventilation slots 9 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the box 1, and a solenoid valve 10 is fixedly connected to the side of the ventilation slot 9 closest to the insulation box 3.

[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting up a ventilation slot 9 and a solenoid valve 10, the ventilation slot 9 can transport external air into the heat preservation box 3 and then discharge the moisture in the heat preservation box 3, thereby improving the drying speed. The solenoid valve 10 can control the opening and closing of the space separated by the heat preservation box 3 and the ventilation slot 9. The drying efficiency can be improved by controlling the solenoid valve 10 individually through the control device 63.

[0030] refer to Figure 3 A motor 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the ventilation slot 9.

[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a motor 11, the motor 11 can drive the fan blade 12 to rotate, introduce the external air into the ventilation slot 9 and deliver it into the heat preservation box 3. Then, another motor 11 synchronously drives the fan blade 12 to draw the air in the heat preservation box 3 out from the other side through the ventilation slot 9 and discharge it out of the box body 1.

[0032] refer to Figure 3 The output end of the motor 11 is fixedly connected to the fan blade 12.

[0035] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting roller 13, roller 13 can rotate when the moving bracket 5 moves, making the movement of the moving bracket 5 smoother and reducing the friction between the bracket 5 and the partition 4.

[0036] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: During use, the door 2 can close the front of the box 1, the insulated box 3 can provide insulation, the partition 4 can support the bracket 5, and simultaneously divide the insulated box 3 into multiple spaces, allowing materials with different humidity levels to be placed and dried individually. The reflector 61 can fix the heating lamp 62 and reflect its heat to dry the materials on the bracket 5. The control device 63 can control the temperature and power of the heating lamp 62, keeping the materials intact during the drying process, reducing debris generation, and improving the cleanliness of the material surface. The temperature sensor 7 can detect the temperature inside the insulated box 3. In conjunction with the control device 63, it can maintain the temperature of the divided spaces within the insulated box 3. Simultaneously, multiple temperature sensors 7 can detect the temperature in different areas within the insulated box 3, and humidity sensors 8 can detect the humidity in different spaces within the insulated box 3. Together with the control device 63, they can control the temperature of the materials. Heating lamp 62 accelerates the drying speed and maintains humidity in the partitioned space inside the insulation box 3. Ventilation slot 9 delivers outside air into the insulation box 3 and then exhausts the moisture inside, increasing the drying speed. Solenoid valve 10 controls the opening and closing of the connection between the partitioned space of the insulation box 3 and the ventilation slot 9. Individual control of solenoid valve 10 via control device 63 can improve drying efficiency. Motor 11 drives fan blade 12 to rotate, drawing outside air into the ventilation slot 9 and delivering it into the insulation box 3. Then, another motor 11 synchronously drives fan blade 12 to draw air out of the insulation box 3 from the other side through the ventilation slot 9 and exhaust it from the box body 1. During use, motor 11 drives fan blade 12 to rotate, drawing air in and out through fan blades 12 on both sides respectively. Roller 13 rotates when the moving bracket 5 moves, making the movement of the bracket 5 smoother and reducing friction between the bracket 5 and the partition 4.

[0037] In summary, this constant-temperature drying device for Pinellia ternata utilizes a door 2 to seal the front of the chamber 1, an insulated chamber 3 for insulation, and a partition 4 to support the support frame 5. It also divides the insulated chamber 3 into multiple spaces, allowing for the individual drying of materials with varying moisture content. This addresses the significant drawbacks of traditional hot air drying methods that rely on rotating cylinders to tumble materials and expose them to hot air: First, the material is susceptible to mechanical stress during rotation, leading to surface wear and even breakage, resulting in the loss of active ingredients. Second, traditional hot air drying methods struggle to precisely control temperature gradients, exacerbating the risk of scorching due to localized overheating. Third, debris generated from collisions between the material and the cylinder during rotation mixes into the finished product, affecting the appearance and clinical safety of the dried slices. Existing improvements primarily focus on optimizing the cylinder structure or adjusting the hot air circulation system, but these still fail to balance drying efficiency with material integrity.
