Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, specifically a drying device for processing traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional Chinese medicine processing, the production of prepared herbal pieces is typically divided into two separate stages: slicing and drying. This step-by-step operation has several drawbacks. Firstly, the step-by-step process increases equipment investment costs, as both slicing and drying equipment require purchase and maintenance, occupying more production space. Secondly, multiple material transfers easily lead to material loss. Furthermore, the step-by-step operation consumes a significant amount of time; from the completion of slicing to the drying process, there is waiting and transfer time, resulting in low overall production efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a drying device for processing traditional Chinese medicine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] Reference Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides a drying device for processing traditional Chinese medicine, including a drying and stirring chamber 1. The front end of the drying and stirring chamber 1 is provided with a feed inlet 2 near the upper end. A motor 4 is fixedly installed at the front end of the drying and stirring chamber 1. The output shaft of the motor 4 extends through into the interior of the drying and stirring chamber 1 and is fixedly connected to a rotating cutter disc 13. The rotating cutter disc 13 is close to the inner wall of the drying and stirring chamber 1 and is fixedly installed with blades 5. The rotation range of the blades 5 covers the entire feed inlet 2.

[0024] Example 2

[0025] Reference Figures 1-4 This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment, but differs from the previous embodiment in that, as a further solution of this utility model: a feeding guide rail 3 is provided at the front end of the drying and stirring chamber 1 below the feeding port 2; a rotating shaft 7 is rotatably connected between the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the drying and stirring chamber 1; a second motor 6 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the drying and stirring chamber 1; the output shaft of the second motor 6 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 7 via a coupling; several stirring paddles 8 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 7; an air source heat pump dryer 11 and a dehumidifying fan 12 are fixedly installed at the upper end of the drying and stirring chamber 1; the output ends of the air source heat pump dryer 11 and the dehumidifying fan 12 are both connected to the interior of the drying and stirring chamber 1; a discharge port 9 is opened at the lower end of the rear surface of the drying and stirring chamber 1; a baffle is inserted on the outside of the discharge port 9; and four support legs 10 are fixedly installed at the lower end of the drying and stirring chamber 1, arranged in a matrix.

[0026] Working principle: The Chinese medicinal materials to be processed are placed on the feeding guide rail 3. The materials move along the feeding guide rail 3 towards the feeding port 2. When the materials approach the feeding port 2, the first motor 4 is started. The output shaft of the first motor 4 drives the rotating cutter disc 13 to rotate at high speed in the drying and mixing chamber 1. The rotating cutter disc 13 is close to the inner wall of the drying and mixing chamber 1, and the rotation range of the blades 5 fixed on the cutter disc covers the entire feeding port 2. When the materials pass through the feeding port 2, they are cut into slices by the high-speed rotating blades 5 and fall directly into the drying and mixing chamber 1. After the materials are sliced ​​and fall into the drying and mixing chamber 1, the air source heat pump dryer 11 is turned on. The air source heat pump dryer 11 drives the refrigerant circulation through the compressor, absorbs heat from the outside and releases it into the drying and mixing chamber 1, so that the air temperature in the chamber rises. At the same time, the second motor 6 is started. The output shaft of the second motor 6 drives the rotating shaft 7 to rotate through the coupling. Several stirring paddles 8 fixed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 7 rotate synchronously. The material slices are continuously turned over, changing their position within the drying mixing chamber 1 to ensure all-around contact with hot air and accelerate the evaporation of moisture. During this process, the hot air circulates within the drying mixing chamber 1, continuously transferring heat to the material slices and speeding up the drying process. As the drying process continues, the moisture in the material slices evaporates, causing the humidity within the drying mixing chamber 1 to gradually increase. At this point, the exhaust fan 12 is turned on to extract the humid and hot air containing a large amount of water vapor from the drying mixing chamber 1 and discharge it outside the equipment, effectively reducing the humidity within the chamber and maintaining a good drying environment to ensure the drying process can continue efficiently. Once the material slices reach the predetermined degree of drying, the operation of the air-source heat pump dryer 11, motor 4, and motor 6 is stopped sequentially. Then, the baffle inserted on the outside of the discharge port 9 is removed, and the Chinese herbal medicine slices are discharged from the discharge port 9, completing the entire processing flow that integrates slicing and drying.
