[0002] Current technologies typically involve nine rounds of steaming and drying in the production of medicinal herbs. This nine-steaming-nine-processing technique is a traditional Chinese medicine processing method, referring to the repeated steaming and drying (usually nine times) of medicinal materials to alter their medicinal properties, reduce toxicity, or enhance efficacy. This process embodies the TCM concepts of "medicine and food sharing the same origin" and "processing enhancing efficacy," and is often used for processing precious medicinal materials. The process involves steaming followed by drying, requiring a steaming machine for steaming and then transferring the materials to a drying machine. These intermediate steps result in a long production cycle, numerous equipment requirements, and a large floor space. Therefore, a combined roasting and drying machine is proposed.

[0019] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, further illustrates the integrated roasting and drying machine of this utility model.

[0020] It should be noted that all directional indicators such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc. in the embodiments of this utility model are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture as shown in the attached figure. If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0021] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly; for example, "fixing" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0022] See Figures 1-3 As shown, a roasting and drying integrated machine includes a controller, a frame 1, an outer pot 2 mounted on the frame 1, and a cylinder 3 placed inside the outer pot 2; characterized in that it also includes a weighing module 4 mounted at the bottom of the frame 1 for weighing, a motor 5 mounted on the frame 1, a sealed transmission assembly 6 mounted on the outer pot 2 and connected to the motor 5, a transmission shaft 7 mounted inside the outer pot 2 and connected to the sealed transmission assembly 6, and a transmission gear 71 meshing between the cylinder 3 and the transmission shaft 7; the weighing module 4 is a weighing device connected to the controller;

[0023] With the installation of this device, the cooking and drying of materials can be completed in one go, reducing intermediate transfer links, shortening the production cycle, and improving overall production efficiency through continuous operation.

[0024] By installing a weighing module 4 at the bottom of the frame 1, which is a weighing device connected to the controller via communication, the weight measured by the weighing device is transmitted to the controller in real time. The weighing device weighs the entire frame 1, and the change in weight indicates the degree of moisture evaporation. Thus, the weight is used to determine whether the material in the cylinder 3 is dry, eliminating the need to open the outer pot 2 and the cylinder 3 during the drying process to check whether the material is dry, avoiding safety hazards caused by high temperatures during inspection. At the same time, placing the weighing module 4 at the bottom of the frame 1 for weighing the entire device prevents the weighing device from being easily damaged in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment.

[0025] By setting up the sealing transmission assembly 6, it not only seals the outer pot body 2 but also connects the motor 5 and the transmission shaft 7, enabling the motor 5 to drive the transmission shaft 7 to rotate. During the rotation of the transmission shaft 7, the cylinder body 3 is driven to rotate via the transmission gear 71, thereby improving the uniformity of material cooking and drying inside the cylinder body 3 and enhancing the quality of material production.

[0026] In one embodiment, it also includes a centrifugal fan 8 mounted on the frame 1 and a heat exchanger 9 mounted on the frame 1 and connected to the centrifugal fan 8.

It also includes a guide rail 21 disposed within the outer pot body 2 to limit and guide the position of the movable trolley 14. The movable trolley 14 allows the cylinder 3 to be moved out of the outer pot body 2 for cleaning and maintenance. The guide rail 21 guides and limits the movement of the movable trolley 14. The cylinder 3 is rotatably mounted on the movable trolley 14, allowing it to rotate.

[0029] In one embodiment, the material further includes a plurality of spiral blades 15 disposed inside the cylinder 3. By means of the spiral blades 15, the material inside the cylinder 3 is turned over when the cylinder 3 rotates, thereby improving the uniformity of cooking and drying of the material.

[0030] In one embodiment, it also includes a bracket 16 movably installed inside the outer pot body 2 on one side of the cylinder body 3, a hopper 17 installed on the bracket 16, a cylinder cover plate 18 movably installed on the bracket 16, and a nozzle assembly 19 installed on the bracket 16 with one end passing through the cylinder cover plate 18 and extending into the cylinder body 3.

[0031] One end of the bracket 16 is movably connected to the outer pot body 2, and the other end is locked to the outer pot body 2 by bolts;

[0032] The nozzle assembly 19 is used to add the medicine or other liquid required for material production during the material processing process. When in use, it is connected to the injection pump for precise injection of a certain amount of medicine or other liquid. The hopper 17 is connected to the cylinder 3 and is used to feed materials into the cylinder.

[0033] In one embodiment, an end cap 20 is also movably mounted on the outer pot body 2.

[0034] In one embodiment, the system further includes a cylinder lifting frame 22 mounted on a mobile trolley 14. The cylinder 3 is rotatably mounted on the cylinder lifting frame 22. The mobile trolley 14 is also equipped with a lifting device connected to the cylinder lifting frame 22 for driving the cylinder lifting frame 22 and the cylinder 3 to move. The lifting device can be an automatic lifting device or a manual lifting device. The automatic lifting device can be a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder. The manual lifting device can be a screw movably mounted on the mobile trolley 14 and a nut mounted on the cylinder lifting frame 22 that is screwed into the screw. During lifting and lowering, by rotating the screw, the screw drives the cylinder lifting frame 22 and the cylinder 3 to move up and down through the screw-nut screw engagement. By setting up the lifting device, the cylinder lifting frame 22 and the cylinder 3 are lifted to avoid interference during movement.

[0035] When using this utility model:

[0036] The outer pot body 2 of this utility model is also equipped with a temperature sensor for monitoring temperature, a humidity sensor for monitoring humidity, a pressure sensor for monitoring pressure, and a steam inlet for introducing steam. The temperature sensor and humidity sensor are connected to the controller, and the steam inlet is connected to the steam generator through a pipeline. The steam generator is connected to the controller. During use, the parameters for material production, including time, temperature, humidity, weight, etc., are set in advance in the controller. At the same time, the weight of the material fed into the cylinder 3 is set. The weight standard after drying is set according to the weight of the material fed into the cylinder 3. During the processing, the weighing module 4 weighs in real time. When the total weight of the frame 1 and the material reaches the set weight standard, it indicates that the material has been dried.

[0037] The scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments and their variations. Conventional modifications and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the content of these embodiments are all within the scope of protection of this utility model.
