Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying equipment technology, specifically a drying mechanism for processing Atractylodes macrocephala. Background Technology
[0002] From its origins, people have used natural sunlight and ventilation to dry goods, which is the most primitive drying method. With the rise of the Industrial Revolution, higher requirements were placed on drying efficiency and quality. Early industrial drying equipment mainly used hot air convection to remove moisture. It generated hot air by burning coal, wood, etc., and the hot air circulated in the drying chamber to dry the materials. In terms of energy utilization, with the advancement of energy technology, drying equipment began to use cleaner and more efficient energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas. Furthermore, the design of heating and insulation systems has become more scientific, thereby reducing energy waste and making the drying of Chinese medicinal materials such as Atractylodes macrocephala more convenient.
[0003] When using drying equipment to dry Chinese herbs such as Atractylodes macrocephala, traditional equipment generally does not circulate hot air sufficiently, which easily leads to uneven drying. This often requires secondary drying, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and reduces the efficiency of the equipment. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a drying mechanism for processing Atractylodes macrocephala, so as to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the traditional equipment generally has insufficient internal hot air circulation, which easily leads to uneven drying, often requiring secondary drying, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and reduces the working efficiency of the equipment.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a drying mechanism for processing Atractylodes macrocephala, comprising a drying chamber body, an upper blower fixedly installed on the inner wall of one side of the drying chamber body near the top edge, a lower blower fixedly installed on the inner wall of the other side of the drying chamber body near the bottom edge, heating chambers fixedly installed on the inner walls of both sides of the drying chamber body away from the upper blower and the upper blower, multiple heating rods equidistantly arranged on the inner walls of both heating chambers in the horizontal direction, and heat dissipation plates fixedly connected to the inner walls of both heating chambers near the opposite edge.
[0006] In a preferred embodiment, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the drying oven body near the edges on both sides. Multiple fixing brackets are equidistantly arranged in the vertical direction between the outer surfaces of the opposite sides of the two fixing plates, and sliding grooves are opened on the outer surfaces of the opposite sides of each pair of fixing brackets.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment, a drying tray is slidably connected between the interiors of the two troughs, and a first handle is provided on the front outer surface of each of the multiple drying trays.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, a dehumidification device is provided at the top of the drying oven body near the center.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a door is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the drying oven body on the other side near the front edge via a hinge, and a second handle is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the door on the other side near the front edge.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a control panel is provided on the front outer surface of the drying oven body near one edge.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a power interface is provided on one side of the outer surface of the drying oven body near the bottom edge.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] This invention begins by opening the cabinet door by pulling the second handle, then pulling the first handle to remove the drying trays one by one. The processed Atractylodes macrocephala is then evenly placed into the placement slots of the drying trays. The trays are then slid back into place via the sliding grooves and locked in place. The cabinet door is closed, and the power is connected via the power interface. The temperature and humidity are then set via the control panel, and the equipment is started. Under the action of the heating chambers on both sides, the heating rods gradually heat the equipment. The emitted heat is evenly diffused through the heat dissipation holes on the heat sink. The airflow generated by the upper and lower fans further heats the product. The generated hot air is propelled and further diffused into the equipment. At the same time, due to the internal circulation created by the upward and downward airflow of the fans, the diffusion of hot air is more obvious, and the drying of Atractylodes macrocephala is more even and thorough, avoiding the need for secondary drying of some Atractylodes macrocephala. In addition, multiple through holes are set on the outer surface of the fixed plate and the drying tray, which allows hot air to circulate fully. Finally, when the moisture inside the Atractylodes macrocephala evaporates, resulting in a large amount of humidity inside the equipment, the moisture is discharged through the dehumidification device at the top of the equipment, keeping the inside of the drying equipment dry and further improving the working efficiency of the equipment.

However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0021] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a drying mechanism for processing Atractylodes macrocephala, including a drying chamber body 1. An upper blower 2 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of one side of the drying chamber body 1 near the top edge, and a lower blower 3 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the other side of the drying chamber body 1 near the bottom edge. The upper blower 2 and the lower blower 3 allow the hot air inside the equipment to diffuse quickly and form an internal circulation, making the drying more uniform. Heating chambers 4 are fixedly installed on the inner walls of both sides of the drying chamber body 1 away from the upper blower 2 and the edges of the upper blower 2. Multiple heating rods 5 are equidistantly arranged on the inner walls of the two heating chambers 4 in the horizontal direction. The heating rods 5 can dissipate heat to the inside of the equipment. Heat dissipation plates 6 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two heating chambers 4 near the opposite edge. The heat dissipation plates 6 can make the heat inside the heating chambers 4 dissipate evenly.
[0022] Fixed plates 7 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the drying oven body 1 near the edges on both sides. The fixed plates 7 can fix the drying trays 10 to the fixed frames 8. Multiple fixed frames 8 are equidistantly arranged in the vertical direction between the outer surfaces of the opposite sides of the two fixed plates 7. Sliding grooves 9 are opened on the outer surfaces of the opposite sides of each pair of fixed frames 8. The drying trays 10 can be layered and locked together by the fixed frames 8 and the sliding grooves 9. The drying trays 10 are slidably connected between the interior of each pair of sliding grooves 9. The drying trays 10 can be evenly placed to facilitate subsequent drying. The front outer surfaces of the multiple drying trays 10 are provided with first handles 11, which can be used to pull the drying trays 10.
[0023] A dehumidification device 12 is installed near the center of the top of the drying oven body 1. The dehumidification device 12 can expel the moisture inside the equipment. A door 13 is connected to the inner wall of the drying oven body 1 on the other side near the front edge via a hinge. The door 13 can close the equipment and provide a better drying effect. A second handle 14 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the other side near the front edge. The second handle 14 makes it easier to open the door 13. A control panel 15 is installed on the outer surface of the front side of the drying oven body 1 near one edge. The temperature and humidity of the equipment can be set in advance through the control panel 15 to ensure the efficiency of Atractylodes macrocephala drying. A power interface 16 is installed on the outer surface of one side near the bottom edge of the drying oven body 1.
[0024] Working principle: When the drying mechanism for Atractylodes macrocephala processing is in use, firstly, pull the second handle 14 to open the door 13, and pull the first handle 11 to pull out the drying trays 10 one by one. Place the processed Atractylodes macrocephala evenly into the placement slots of the drying trays 10, and then slide the drying trays 10 back into place via the slide groove 9 to lock them in place. Close the door 13, connect the equipment to the power supply via the power interface 16, and then set the temperature and humidity via the control panel 15 and start the equipment. Under the action of the heating chambers 4 on both sides, the heating rods 5 gradually heat up, and the emitted heat is evenly diffused through the heat dissipation holes on the heat dissipation plate 6. The heat is then released by the upper blower 2 and the lower... Under the action of the blower 3, the generated wind force pushes the generated hot air to further diffuse into the equipment. At the same time, due to the internal circulation of the airflow from the upper blower 2 and the lower blower 3, the diffusion of hot air is more obvious, and the drying of Atractylodes macrocephala is more uniform and thorough, avoiding the need for secondary drying of some Atractylodes macrocephala. In addition, multiple through holes are provided on the outer surface of the fixed plate 7 and the drying tray 10, which allow the hot air to circulate fully. Finally, when the moisture inside the Atractylodes macrocephala evaporates, resulting in a large amount of humidity inside the equipment, the dehumidification device 12 at the top of the equipment discharges the moisture, keeping the inside of the drying equipment dry and further improving the working efficiency of the equipment.
[0025] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
