The other end of the oven 1 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 10. One end of the rotating shaft 10 and located inside the oven 1 is fixed with a first sealing seat 11. The end of the first sealing seat 11 away from the rotating shaft 10 is provided with a second sealing seat 12. A hollow mesh seat 13 is fixed between the first sealing seat 11 and the second sealing seat 12. In order to facilitate placing the sliced Chinese herbal medicine inside the hollow mesh seat 13, a loading and unloading door 17 is provided on the inner side of the end of the second sealing seat 12 away from the first sealing seat 11. A hinge is provided between one side of the loading and unloading door 17 and the second sealing seat 12. When the loading and unloading door 17 is closed, a hand-tightening bolt is installed between the other side of the loading and unloading door 17 and the second sealing seat 12 to facilitate locking the loading and unloading door 17.
[0031] To facilitate heating the inside of the oven 1 and accelerate airflow, allowing hot air to continuously pass through the hollow mesh seat 13 to dry the sliced Chinese medicine inside, the oven 1 is equipped with multiple electric heating tubes 2 arranged in an array. The upper and lower ends of the oven 1 are equipped with air guide fans 3. In order to drive the first sealing seat 11, the second sealing seat 12 and the hollow mesh seat 13 to reciprocate and rotate, thereby facilitating the circulating tumbling and drying of the sliced Chinese medicine filled inside the hollow mesh seat 13, and effectively preventing the sliced Chinese medicine from sticking together, thus improving the processing quality of the sliced Chinese medicine, a drive assembly is provided between the oven 1 and the rotating shaft 10.
[0032] Specifically, the drive assembly includes a first motor 15, a first motor 15 is disposed on the outside of the rotating shaft 10, the first motor 15 is fixed to the oven 1, a second spur gear 16 is fixed to the output end of the first motor 15, a first spur gear 14 is fixed on the outside of the rotating shaft 10 and located outside the oven 1, and the first spur gear 14 and the second spur gear 16 are meshed and connected.
[0033] In order to facilitate the opening and closing of the oven door 4, and to lock the oven door 4 when it is closed, a guide locking component is provided between the oven door 4 and the oven 1;
[0034] Specifically, the guide locking assembly includes a guide rail seat 5. Guide rail seats 5 are fixed on both sides of the oven 1, and slide rail frames 6 are fixed on both sides of the oven door 4. The two slide rail frames 6 are slidably connected to the two guide rail seats 5 respectively. A pull rod 7 is slidably connected to the upper end of the slide rail frame 6 away from the oven door 4. The lower end of the pull rod 7 is slidably connected to the guide rail seat 5. A spring 8 is fixed between the outer side of the upper end of the pull rod 7 and the slide rail frame 6.
[0035] Example 2:
[0036] The sliced Chinese herbal medicine drying equipment provided in Example 1 has been further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figure 1-5 As shown, when the door 4 is closed, in order to provide auxiliary support for the second sealing seat 12 and thus avoid the support weight being concentrated on the rotating shaft 10, an auxiliary support cylinder 18 is fixed at the center of the outer side of the loading and unloading seat door 17, and a support shaft 9 is fixed at the center of the inner side of the door 4. The support shaft 9 is located inside the auxiliary support cylinder 18 and is movably connected to the auxiliary support cylinder 18.
[0037] During the drying process of the sliced Chinese medicine tumbling inside the hollow mesh seat 13, in order to further stir it and thus further ensure that the sliced Chinese medicine does not stick together, a first stirring shaft 19 and a second stirring shaft 20 are rotatably connected to both sides inside the first closed seat 11. Stirring blades 21 are fixed on the outer side of the first stirring shaft 19 and the second stirring shaft 20 and located inside the hollow mesh seat 13. A third spur gear 22 is fixed on the outer side of the first stirring shaft 19 and located inside the first closed seat 11. A second motor 23 is fixed on one side inside the first closed seat 11. A fourth spur gear 24 is fixed at the output end of the second motor 23. The fourth spur gear 24 is meshed with the third spur gear 22. A chain 25 is connected between the first stirring shaft 19 and the second stirring shaft 20. The chain 25 is located inside the first closed seat 11.
[0038] All of the above electrical components are electrically connected to the main controller and the power supply. The main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that performs control. The existing publicly available power connection technology will not be described in detail here. The mechanical transmission components provided in this utility model are all closed designs that can be opened for maintenance. According to the mechanical manual, as long as they are properly maintained, these mechanical transmission components can normally realize the transmission movement claimed above.
[0039] The process of using the sliced Chinese medicine drying equipment provided by this utility model is as follows: First, pull up the pull rod 7 to make it slide out from the guide rail seat 5, so that the box door 4 can be opened by sliding the guide rail frame 6 and the guide rail seat 5. The support shaft 9 moves out from the inside of the auxiliary support cylinder 18. At this time, remove the hand-tightening bolt and open the loading and unloading seat door 17 with the hinge to place the sliced Chinese medicine inside the hollow mesh seat 13. Then close and lock the loading and unloading seat door 17.
[0040] The electric heating tube 2 and the air guide fan 3 are activated to heat the inside of the drying oven 1 and accelerate the airflow, so that the hot air can continuously pass through the hollow mesh seat 13 for drying. At the same time, the first motor 15 is activated to drive the second flat gear 16 to rotate. The meshing of the second flat gear 16 and the first flat gear 14 drives the rotating shaft 10 to rotate, which in turn drives the first closed seat 11, the second closed seat 12 and the hollow mesh seat 13 to continuously rotate around the rotating shaft 10, so that the sliced Chinese medicine is circulated and tumbled for drying.
[0041] The second motor 23 is started to drive the fourth spur gear 24 to rotate. The meshing of the fourth spur gear 24 and the third spur gear 22 drives the first stirring shaft 19 to rotate. At the same time, the chain 25 drives the second stirring shaft 20 to rotate synchronously. The two stirring blades 21 further stir the sliced Chinese medicine inside the hollow mesh seat 13 to ensure that the sliced Chinese medicine does not stick together and to ensure the drying quality.
