[0021] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0022] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figures 1-6As shown in this embodiment, a traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece processing and drying device includes a mounting frame 1 and a support 6. Two sets of symmetrically distributed rotating rods 2 are rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 1. Two sets of symmetrically distributed synchronous pulleys 3 are sleeved on each set of rotating rods 2. Two sets of symmetrically distributed synchronous belts 4 are sleeved on each set of rotating rods 2, and the synchronous belts 4 are respectively connected to the two sets of synchronous pulleys 3 for transmission. A screen belt 5 is provided on the mounting frame 1, and the screen belt 5 is respectively fixedly connected to the two sets of synchronous belts 4. A material box 13 is slidably mounted on the support 6. Two sets of symmetrically distributed first sliding rods 8 are fixedly mounted inside the support 6. The material box 13 is slidably sleeved with the first sliding rods 8 through a slider 10. A connecting rod 11 is rotatably mounted on the slider 10. A crank 12 is rotatably mounted on the support 6. A collection box 19 is fixedly installed on the right end of the mounting frame 1, corresponding to the right end of the screen belt 5. A base plate 20 is rotatably installed below the collection box 19. Four sets of symmetrically distributed casters 7 are provided below the support 6. Two sets of symmetrically distributed first springs 9 are sleeved on the first slide rod 8. The two ends of the first springs 9 are fixedly connected to the slider 10 and the support 6, respectively. The end of the crank 12 away from the support 6 is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting rod 11 away from the slider 10 through a rotating shaft. When the medicinal herbs are poured into the material box 13, the motor on the support 6 is started simultaneously to drive the crank 12 to rotate. In conjunction with the connecting rod 11, the slider 10 drives the material box 13 to move back and forth on the first slide rod 8, spreading the medicinal herbs that fall from the material box 13 evenly on the surface. At the position of the screen belt 5 directly below the material box 13, the motor on the synchronous mounting frame 1 drives the rotating rod 2 to rotate, which, together with the synchronous belt 4 and synchronous pulley 3, realizes the transmission of the screen belt 5. All the Chinese herbal medicine pieces that have fallen from the material box 13 are spread evenly on the entire surface of the screen belt 5, which facilitates the drying of the Chinese herbal medicine pieces. Two sets of symmetrically distributed slide frames 21 are slidably installed inside the collection box 19. Each set of slide frames 21 is fixedly installed with a rod 22. The two sets of rods 22 are movably engaged with the bottom plate 20. Each set of slide frames 21 is fixedly installed with a rack 25. Each set of rods 22 is fixedly sleeved with a stop 23. Both sets of rods 22 are slidably connected to the collection box 19 through the stop 23. Each set of rods 22 is sleeved with a third spring 24. The two ends of the three springs 24 are fixedly connected to the stop block 23 and the collection box 19, respectively. A handle 26 is rotatably installed inside the collection box 19. The handle 26 is located between two sets of racks 25. A gear 27 is fixedly sleeved on the handle 26. The gear 27 is meshed with the two sets of racks 25, respectively. A torsion spring 28 is sleeved on the handle 26. The two ends of the torsion spring 28 are fixedly connected to the gear 27 and the collection box 19, respectively. After the Chinese herbal medicine slices are dried, the motor on the mounting frame 1 is restarted to drive the rotating rod 2 to rotate. The screen belt 5 drives the dried Chinese herbal medicine slices to be uniformly put into the collection box 19 at the right end of the screen belt 5. The staff can transfer the Chinese herbal medicine slices in the collection box 19 by opening and closing the bottom plate 20 in the collection box 19.

[0023] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a fixed frame 14 is slidably mounted on the support 6. Multiple sets of scraper rods 15 are evenly distributed on the fixed frame 14, and the scraper rods 15 are fitted against the surface of the screen belt 5. Two sets of symmetrically distributed second slide rods 16 are fixedly installed inside the support 6. The fixed frame 14 and the second slide rods 16 are slidably connected. Two sets of symmetrically distributed second springs 17 are sleeved on the second slide rods 16. The two ends of the two sets of second springs 17 are fixedly connected to the fixed frame 14 and the support 6, respectively. A cam 18 is rotatably mounted on the support 6, and the cam 18 is connected to the fixed frame... 14. In the process of drying the Chinese herbal medicine slices after they are laid out, the motor on the bracket 6 drives the cam 18 to rotate. During the rotation of the cam 18, it intermittently pushes the fixed frame 14. The fixed frame 14 slides on the second slide rod 16 and squeezes or stretches the second spring 17. In conjunction with the second spring 17, the fixed frame 14 drives the scraper 15 to move back and forth on the surface of the screen belt 5. The scraper 15 regularly turns the Chinese herbal medicine slices laid out on the surface of the screen belt 5 to avoid uneven drying of the Chinese herbal medicine slices due to constant stillness.

[0024] This utility model provides a device for processing and drying Chinese herbal medicine slices. The specific working principle is as follows: Chinese herbal medicine slices are poured into the material box 13, and the motor on the support 6 is simultaneously started, driving the crank 12 to rotate. This, in conjunction with the connecting rod 11, causes the slider 10 to move the material box 13 back and forth on the first sliding rod 8. The Chinese herbal medicine slices falling from the material box 13 are then spread evenly on the screen belt 5 directly below the material box 13. Simultaneously, the motor on the mounting frame 1 drives the rotating rod 2 to rotate, coordinating with the synchronous belt 4 and synchronous pulley 3 to transmit power to the screen belt 5. All the Chinese herbal medicine slices falling from the material box 13 are evenly spread across the entire surface of the screen belt 5, facilitating the drying process. After the drying is complete, the motor on the mounting frame 1 is started again to drive the rotating rod 2. The rotating screen belt 5 drives the dried Chinese medicinal herbs to be uniformly placed into the collection box 19 at the right end of the screen belt 5. The staff can transfer the Chinese medicinal herbs in the collection box 19 by opening and closing the bottom plate 20 in the collection box 19. During the drying process after the Chinese medicinal herbs are laid flat, the motor on the support 6 drives the cam 18 to rotate. During the rotation of the cam 18, it intermittently pushes the fixed frame 14. The fixed frame 14 slides on the second slide rod 16 and squeezes or stretches the second spring 17. With the help of the second spring 17, the fixed frame 14 drives the scraper 15 to move back and forth on the surface of the screen belt 5. The scraper 15 regularly turns the Chinese medicinal herbs laid flat on the surface of the screen belt 5 to avoid uneven drying of the Chinese medicinal herbs due to being always still.

[0025] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
