Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Chinese medicinal material processing equipment, and in particular to a tool for turning and drying Stemona japonica. Background Technology

[0002] There are various types of equipment for processing Chinese medicinal herbs, each with its own key role. For example, slicing machines can precisely cut medicinal herbs into uniform thin slices according to their characteristics, improving processing efficiency and the release of medicinal effects; steaming and boiling equipment can soften or sterilize medicinal herbs through precise temperature and time control, ensuring the quality of the herbs; and stir-frying machines use appropriate heat to stir-fry, changing the properties of the herbs, adding aroma and removing fishy smells, to meet the needs of different formulas.

[0003] Specialized drying and turning tools use an aluminum alloy frame and double-layer steel wire mesh to ensure ventilation and prevent the herbs from falling off. Combined with an intelligent control system, they automatically turn based on light, temperature, and humidity, improving efficiency and effectiveness in the initial drying stage of traditional Chinese medicine processing. However, current drying and turning tools have the following drawbacks: First, disassembly is inconvenient. When replacing parts or performing deep maintenance, the complex structure makes it time-consuming and laborious for workers, hindering quick disassembly of the drying section and affecting work efficiency. Second, stability is poor. During rotation, the tool is prone to tipping over due to its unstable center of gravity. Furthermore, when drying outdoors, even slight collisions with external objects can cause the tool to fall, damaging the herbs being dried. It also fails to provide reliable additional support for the drying structure, making it difficult to cope with complex operating environments.

[0004] Therefore, to address the problems of inconvenient disassembly and poor stability of existing drying structures, a multi-part drying and turning tool is needed to solve these issues. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems of inconvenient disassembly and poor stability of existing drying structures, this application provides a tool for turning over 100 drying units.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A tool for turning and drying 100 kinds of herbs includes two supports. Three rotating rods are rotatably connected inside the supports. On the left and right sides, adjacent sides of each rotating rod are connected to fixed rods via disassembly components. The fixed rods can be disassembled using the disassembly components. A drying box is fixedly connected between two of the fixed rods. A lid is rotatably connected to the top of the drying box. The lid and the drying box are connected by a snap-fit ​​component to secure them together. The three rotating rods are connected by a transmission component to allow simultaneous rotation of the rods. A support component is provided on the bottom side of the supports to provide additional support.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the disassembly assembly includes a fixed tube disposed on the side of the rotating rod on the left and right sides, and a plug rod is slidably connected inside the fixed tube. The plug rod is inserted into the inside of the fixed rod, and a threaded rod is threaded inside the plug rod.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, a rotating handle is rotatably connected between the fixed tube and the rotating rod, the fixed tube and the rotating rod are connected by a metal rod, the end of the threaded rod is rotatably connected inside the fixed tube, and the threaded rod is fixedly connected inside the rotating handle.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the buckle assembly includes two fixing blocks fixedly connected to the front side of the drying box, two buckle plates rotatably connected to the front side of the box cover, a buckle block rotatably connected to the front side of the fixing block, the buckle plate engaging inside the fixing block, and the buckle block engaging on the front side of the buckle plate.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, the transmission assembly includes a pulley fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod, the two pulleys being connected by the inner side of a belt, and a motor being installed on the left side of the left bracket, the drive end of the motor being fixedly connected to the left end of the rotating rod on the top left side.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, the support assembly includes two legs rotatably connected to the bottom side of the bracket.

[0033] Example 1:

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, a tool for drying and turning *Stemona japonica* includes two supports 1. Three rotating rods 12 are rotatably connected inside the supports 1. Fixed rods 11 are connected to the adjacent sides of the rotating rods 12 on both the left and right sides. A drying box 2 is fixedly connected between two fixed rods 11. A lid 6 is rotatably connected to the top of the drying box 2. Both the drying box 2 and the lid 6 are made of thin steel wires to create gaps for sunlight to penetrate. *Stemona japonica* is placed in the drying box 2, and the lid 6 is rotated onto the drying box 2 to clamp the *Stemona japonica*, preventing it from falling off the drying box 2 during rotation. Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, a fixing tube 19 is provided on the adjacent side of the left and right rotating rods 12. An insert rod 22 is slidably connected inside the fixing tube 19. The insert rod 22 is inserted into the inside of the fixing rod 11. By inserting the insert rod 22 into the fixing rod 11, the fixing rod 11 is fixed to the fixing tube 19, thereby fixing the drying box 2 between the left and right rotating rods 12. A threaded rod 21 is threadedly connected inside the insert rod 22. A handle 20 is rotatably connected between the fixing tube 19 and the rotating rod 12. The fixing tube 19 and the rotating rod 12 are connected by a metal rod 18. The end of the threaded rod 21 is rotatably connected inside the fixing tube 19, and the threaded rod 21 is fixedly connected inside the handle 20. The handle 20 rotates the threaded rod 21, thereby driving the insert rod 22 to slide inside the fixing tube 19, allowing the insert rod 22 to disengage from or insert into the fixing rod 11. Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, two fixing blocks 14 are fixedly connected to the front side of the drying box 2, and two snap-fit ​​plates 17 are rotatably connected to the front side of the lid 6. A snap-fit ​​block 16 is rotatably connected to the front side of the fixing blocks 14. The snap-fit ​​plates 17 are engaged inside the fixing blocks 14, and the snap-fit ​​blocks 16 are engaged on the front side of the snap-fit ​​plates 17. By engaging the snap-fit ​​plates 17 into the fixing blocks 14 and then engaging the snap-fit ​​blocks 16 on the front side of the snap-fit ​​plates 17, the lid 6 is fixed to the drying box 2. Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, a pulley 9 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod 12. The two pulleys 9 are connected by the inner side of the belt. A motor 13 is installed on the left side of the left bracket 1. The drive end of the motor 13 is fixedly connected to the left end of the top left rotating rod 12. The motor 13 drives the top left rotating rod 12 to rotate, and the pulleys 9 connected by the belt cause the other rotating rods 12 to rotate, so that the three drying boxes 2 rotate simultaneously.

[0035] Example 2: As one of the optimized structural designs of Example 1, such as Figures 1-3As shown, the bottom side of the bracket 1 is rotatably connected to two support legs 3. The top side of the support leg 3 is provided with a first sliding groove, and the front and rear sides of the bracket 1 are provided with second sliding grooves. The first sliding seat 4 is slidably connected inside the first sliding groove, and the second sliding seat 15 is slidably connected inside the second sliding groove. The first sliding seat 4 and the second sliding seat 15 are connected by a connecting rod 5. One end of the connecting rod 5 is rotatably connected inside the first sliding seat 4, and the other end of the connecting rod 5 is rotatably connected inside the second sliding seat 15. The first sliding seat 4 drives the connecting rod 5 to move, so that the connecting rod 5 drives the second sliding seat 15 to move. Positioning rods 10 are inserted into the outer walls of the bracket 1 and the support legs 3. By inserting the positioning rods 10 into the bracket 1 and the support legs 3, the positions of the first sliding seat 4 and the second sliding seat 15 are fixed to prevent them from sliding. Insert plates 7 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the bracket 1 and the support legs 3. A round rod 8 is inserted into the inside of the insert plate 7. By inserting the round rod 8 into the insert plate 7, the two insert plates 7 are connected together, thereby fixing the support leg 3 to the bracket 1.

[0036] Working principle: First, place the fixing rod 11 on the drying box 2 between the two rotating rods 12 on the left and right. Then, rotate the handle 20 to rotate the threaded rod 21, thereby driving the insertion rod 22 to slide inside the fixing tube 19, causing the insertion rod 22 to disengage from or insert into the fixing rod 11. Thus, the fixing rod 11 is fixed to the fixing tube 19, thereby fixing the drying box 2 between the two rotating rods 12 on the left and right. Then, pull the round rod 8 out of the insert plate 7. After that, rotate the support leg 3 to lay the support leg 3 flat on the ground, so that the support leg 3 and the bottom side of the bracket 1 are in a straight line. Then, pull the connecting rod 5 so that the end of the connecting rod 5 near the second slide 15 slides upward, thereby driving the second slide 15 to slide upward in the second slide groove. At the same time, the end of the connecting rod 5 near the first slide 4 slides towards one side of the bracket 1, thereby driving the first slide 4 to slide towards one side of the bracket 1. Thus, the first slide 4 and the second slide 15 form an oblique bracing relationship, so that the connecting rod 5 supports the second slide 15. The bracket 1 provides additional support, and then the Bai Bu (a type of herb) is placed on the drying box 2 and laid flat. The lid 2 is then rotated to close the box, and the buckle plate 17 is rotated to engage with the fixing block 14. The buckle block 16 is then rotated to engage with the buckle plate 17, thus connecting the drying box 2 and the lid 6, allowing the Bai Bu to be dried in the drying box 2. After drying for a period of time, the motor 13 is started to drive the rotating rod 12 on the top left side to rotate, causing the rotating rod 12 on the other side to rotate, which in turn drives the pulley 9 on the rotating rod 12 to rotate. Under the action of the belt, the lower rotating rod 12 rotates, causing all three drying boxes 2 to rotate simultaneously, turning the Bai Bu to the other side for drying. After the rotation is complete, the motor 13 is turned off to stop the rotation of the drying box 2, allowing the other side of the Bai Bu to be dried.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
