[0026] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a natural drying rack for Chinese medicinal materials, including a drying rack assembly, a lifting assembly, and a locking assembly. Several lifting assemblies are arranged inside the drying rack assembly, and a locking assembly is arranged on the side of each lifting assembly.

[0027] The drying rack assembly includes a base frame 100, uprights 101 and positioning posts 102. Both uprights 101 and positioning posts 102 are located above the base frame 100. The uprights 101 are located at the corner of the base frame 100, and the positioning posts 102 are located near the side of the base frame 100. Several positioning grooves 1021 are evenly provided on the side of the positioning posts 102.

[0028] The lifting assembly includes a lifting frame 200. The side of the lifting frame 200 is provided with a sliding groove 2001 that mates with a positioning post 102. A movable groove 2003 is formed on the side of the sliding groove 2001. A placement groove 2002 is formed inside the lifting frame 2002, and a drying frame 300 is placed within the placement groove 2002. The drying frame 300 is used to place medicinal herbs for drying. Because the lifting frame 200 is slidably connected to the positioning post 102 via the sliding groove 2001, each lifting frame 200 can move up and down.

[0029] The locking assembly includes a positioning rod 400, a pull rod 401, a movable plate 402, and a spring 403. Both the movable plate 402 and the spring 403 are located within the movable plate 402. The pull rod 401 is inserted into the movable slot 2003 and fixed to the movable plate 402. Both ends of the spring 403 are fixed to the movable plate 402 and the movable slot 2003. The positioning rod 400 is fixed to the end of the pull rod 401 and is engaged in the positioning slot 1021 to secure the lifting assembly. By pulling the positioning rod 400 out of the positioning slot 1021, the lifting frame 200 can be released from its fixed position, thus controlling the vertical movement of the lifting frame 200.

[0030] Furthermore, a caster wheel 103 is provided below the base frame 100, which is mainly for the convenience of moving the drying rack.

[0031] Furthermore, a connecting sleeve 201 is fixed at the corner of the lifting frame 200. The connecting sleeve 201 is sleeved on the column 101 and is slidably connected to improve the stability of the lifting frame 200 during lifting.

[0032] Furthermore, a limiting plate 1011 is provided at the top of the column 101. The limiting plate 1011 is mainly provided to prevent the connecting sleeve 201 from falling off the column 101.

[0033] Furthermore, the limiting plate 1011 is fixed to the column 101 by bolts to achieve detachable installation. The limiting plate 1011 can be removed, and the connecting sleeve 201 can be slid directly out from above the column 101 to remove the corresponding lifting component.

[0034] Furthermore, a handle 301 is fixed to the side of the drying frame 300. The handle 301 is mainly designed to facilitate lifting the drying frame 300 so that it can be easily picked up.

[0035] In summary, when using the drying rack, simply place the Chinese medicinal herbs in the drying frame 300 for drying. If the height of the drying frame 300 needs to be adjusted, simply pull the positioning rod 400 in the lifting assembly that holds the drying frame 300. This causes the positioning rod 400 to slide within the movable block 2003 via the pull rod 401, compressing the spring 403 and causing it to deform and contract. Pulling the positioning rod 400 out of the positioning groove 1021 on the positioning post 102 releases the fixing of the lifting assembly, allowing the height of the lifting frame 200 to be adjusted. After adjusting to a certain height, release the positioning rod 400, causing the spring 403 to rebound and push the movable block back. This allows the movable block to drive the positioning rod 400 into the corresponding positioning groove 1021 via the pull rod 401, thus fixing the height of the lifting frame 200 and allowing for adjustment of the spacing between the drying frames 300.

[0036] 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.
