Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, specifically to a drying oven for processing traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology
[0002] Drying is a crucial step in the processing of Chinese medicinal herbs. Traditional drying methods typically employ natural air drying or simple drying equipment, but these methods have several problems. First, natural air drying is greatly affected by weather conditions, making it difficult to guarantee consistent drying results. Second, simple drying equipment often fails to heat evenly, leading to low drying efficiency and potentially resulting in some herbs being over-dried while others remain uncooked. Furthermore, traditional drying equipment lacks a mechanism for turning the herbs during the drying process, resulting in uneven drying of the upper and lower surfaces, affecting the quality and efficacy of the herbs.
[0003] While existing drying equipment has solved some problems to a certain extent, it still has the following shortcomings: 1) Insufficient turning of the medicinal materials during the drying process leads to uneven drying; 2) Uneven hot air flow results in low drying efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a drying oven for processing Chinese medicinal materials that can effectively solve the above problems, so as to improve drying efficiency and ensure the quality of the medicinal materials. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, this application provides a drying oven for processing Chinese medicinal materials to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

The second flip plates are staggered with the first flip plates. The inner side of the second flip plates is provided with a groove-shaped structure corresponding to the connecting rod for the connecting rod to slide.
[0013] Optionally, the fixing plate also includes a limiting frame fixed to the outside of the fixing side plate. The outer side of the limiting frame is provided with a positioning strip fixed to the box body, and the positioning strip is arranged symmetrically about the center of the limiting frame.

[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-6 The present application will be further described in detail through specific embodiments.
[0033] The present invention provides a Chinese herbal medicine processing and drying box, including a box body 1, a door panel 2 installed on one side of the box body 1, and an opening on one side of the box body 1 for placing and taking out the laying components 3.
[0034] The inner side of the box 1 is provided with several laying components 3 at equal intervals. The laying components 3 include fixed plates and movable mechanisms. The Chinese medicinal materials placed in the laying components 3 are flipped. The fixed plates include fixed side plates 301. Several sets of connecting rods 302 are installed on the inner side of the fixed side plates 301. The outer end of each set of connecting rods 302 is fixed with a first flipping plate 303. The first flipping plates 303 and the connecting rods 302 are arranged at equal intervals and staggered. The movable mechanism includes a baffle 305. Several second flipping plates 308 are fixed at equal intervals on the inner side of the baffle 305. The second flipping plates 308 and the first flipping plates 303 are arranged at staggered. The inner side of the second flipping plates 308 has a groove structure corresponding to the connecting rods 302 for the connecting rods 302 to slide.
[0035] The fixing plate also includes a limiting frame 307 fixed to the outside of the fixing side plate 301. The outer side of the limiting frame 307 is provided with a positioning strip 6 fixed inside the box 1. The positioning strip 6 is arranged symmetrically about the center of the limiting frame 307, so that the positioning strip 6 can limit the laying component 3 and facilitate its loading and unloading.
[0036] A driven frame 306 is installed on the upper side of the movable mechanism, and a reciprocating drive mechanism 7 is installed on the inner bottom of the housing 1 to drive the movable mechanism to reciprocate. Specifically, the reciprocating drive mechanism 7 includes a pad 701, a cylinder 702 is installed on the upper end of the pad 701, and a drive rod 703 is fixed on the side of the cylinder 702 facing the laying component 3. The pad 701 is used to raise the cylinder 702 so that the extension and retraction stroke of the cylinder 702 can be limited within the stroke of the movable mechanism. At the same time, the drive rod 703 can support the lower side of the movable mechanism to ensure that when the cylinder 702 drives the drive rod 703 to reciprocate, it can drive the movable mechanism to reciprocate.
[0037] The upper end of the box 1 is equipped with a steam exhaust mechanism 5 for gas exhaust. The steam exhaust mechanism 5 includes a mounting block 501. Several steam exhaust ports 502 are evenly opened on the inner side of the mounting block 501. The water vapor generated during the drying of Chinese medicinal materials is discharged from the steam exhaust ports 502.
[0038] Furthermore, the mounting block 501 is slidably connected to the housing 1, and a trapezoidal groove structure is provided on the outer side of the mounting block 501 to guide the gas flow. Mounting brackets 503 are installed at the four corners of the lower end of the mounting block 501, and a reset rod 504 slides through the inside of the mounting bracket 503. A spring is provided on the outer side of the reset rod 504, and the upper end of the reset rod 504 is fixed to the inner side of the housing 1. The driven frame 306 located at the uppermost side is fitted to the lower side of the mounting bracket 503, so that when the driven frame 306 reciprocates, it can simultaneously drive the mounting block 501 to reciprocate up and down. The spring provided on the outer side of the reset rod 504 causes the mounting block 501 to descend and reset.
[0039] Specifically, during the up-and-down reciprocating motion of the mounting block 501, the air between the mounting block 501 and the laying component 3 is turbulently flowing. Due to the up-and-down reciprocating motion of the mounting block 501 and the box 1, the air pressure between the mounting block 501 and the laying component 3 changes frequently. As a result, when the mounting block 501 descends, gas is quickly discharged from the exhaust port 502, which carries water vapor outward.
[0040] A heating mechanism 4 is installed on the lower side of the box 1 to heat the inside of the box 1 and dry the Chinese medicinal materials. The heating mechanism 4 includes an air guide pipe 401 and a heating rod 403. A fan 404 is installed inside the air guide pipe 401, and a heating rod 403 is installed below the fan 404. The air heated by the heating rod 403 can be blown by the fan 404 to the laying component 3, thereby raising the ambient temperature inside the box 1 and introducing the hot air into the laying component 3, causing the air around the Chinese medicinal materials laid on the upper side of the laying component 3 to circulate and accelerate the drying process.
[0041] A filter screen 402 is also installed at the lower opening of the air duct 401 to filter the air brought in from the outside and prevent dust from entering the housing 1.
[0042] The upper end of the air duct 401 is inclined outward, so that the air blown out by the fan 404 can diffuse outward, thereby ensuring that gas flow can also be generated at the edge of the laying component 3.
[0043] Specifically, when cylinder 702 is started, it drives drive rod 703 to move up and down, thereby causing baffle 305 to move up and down. This causes the second flipping plate 308 and the first flipping plate 303 to move up and down alternately, allowing the contact surfaces between the Chinese medicinal materials and the first flipping plate 303 and the second flipping plate 308 to separate or even flip over. This accelerates the drying of the bottom surface of the Chinese medicinal materials and avoids different drying efficiencies on the front and back sides of the Chinese medicinal materials.
[0044] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way (as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features). For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described; these embodiments not explicitly written should also be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
