Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of processing Chinese medicinal materials, and in particular to a drying device for Chinese medicinal materials used in the production of prepared slices of Chinese medicinal materials. Background Technology

[0002] The main function of drying Chinese medicinal herbs is to remove excess moisture, inhibit microbial and enzyme activity, and prevent mold and spoilage, thereby extending their shelf life. It also reduces the volume and weight of the herbs, facilitating transportation and storage. Furthermore, drying promotes the stable preservation or transformation of medicinal components, ensuring their medicinal value meets standards. In addition, scientific drying processes avoid high temperatures that could damage the active ingredients, preserving the color, aroma, and texture of the herbs, providing high-quality raw materials for subsequent processing or clinical use.

[0003] While existing technologies can achieve a certain degree of drying effect for Chinese medicinal materials, they suffer from the following drawback: the current drying devices lack efficient integrated functions, resulting in a fragmented feeding and drying process that fails to achieve efficient drying of medicinal materials. In view of this, we propose a Chinese medicinal material drying device for the production of prepared Chinese medicinal materials, which solves the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the background technology by proposing a drying device for Chinese medicinal materials used in the production of prepared Chinese medicine slices.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model: A drying device for Chinese medicinal materials in the production of Chinese herbal medicine slices, including a base plate, a turntable, a collection trough, a mounting frame and a mounting slot. The turntable is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the base plate. The collection trough is fixed in a circular array on the upper end of the turntable. The mounting frame is fixed on one side of the upper end of the base plate. The mounting slot is fixed at the lower end of the mounting frame. A lifting plate is provided inside the collection trough. Heating ports are provided on both sides of the mounting slot. A nozzle is fixed at the lower end of the mounting frame. A hydraulic cylinder is fixed at the upper end of the mounting frame.

[0006] In use, the medicinal herbs to be dried are sequentially placed into the collecting tank. As the motor rotates, it passes under the mounting tank. When the collecting tank is directly below the mounting tank, the hydraulic cylinder drives a magnet to insert into the mounting column, raising the lifting plate to the top of the collecting tank. The herbs are then at the bottom of the mounting tank. The heater then blows hot air from the heating port, and a blower blows natural air carrying the drying heat towards the herbs. Moisture-laden air is expelled from the vent at the bottom of the collecting tank. After sufficient drying, the hydraulic cylinder drives the lifting plate back, and the next collecting tank rotates to the bottom of the mounting tank for further drying. The dried herbs from the previous tank can then be removed. This device features rotary batch drying of medicinal herbs, achieving efficient loading, unloading, and drying in one integrated process, making it highly practical.

[0007] Preferably, a blower is fixed at the upper end of the mounting frame, and a transmission pipe is provided between the blower and the nozzle. The blower is connected to the nozzle through the transmission pipe to enhance the airflow intensity, accelerate the evaporation of moisture on the surface of the medicinal material, increase the drying speed, and prevent the loss of effective ingredients due to prolonged heating of the medicinal material.

[0008] Preferably, a motor is fixed to the lower end of the base plate, and the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the rotation center of the lower end of the turntable. The motor drives the turntable to rotate precisely, ensuring that each collection slot is positioned below the installation slot at a specific time.

[0009] Preferably, a heater is fixed to one side of the outer wall of the mounting frame, and a connecting groove is provided on the outer wall of the mounting groove. The connecting groove communicates with the heating port. A second transmission pipe is provided between the heater and the connecting groove. The heater delivers hot air to the heating port through the second transmission pipe and the connecting groove, avoiding direct contact with the medicinal materials. The temperature is controllable and evenly distributed, preventing the medicinal materials from charring and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0010] Preferably, the lower end of the hydraulic cylinder is provided with a hydraulic rod, and a magnet is fixed at the lower end of the hydraulic rod. An installation column is fixed inside the lifting plate, and an iron block is fixed at the bottom of the installation column. The hydraulic cylinder drives the magnet to attract the iron block of the lifting plate, so as to realize the stable lifting and lowering of the lifting plate, accurately control the position of the medicinal materials, ensure full contact with hot air, and simplify the mechanical structure.

[0011] Preferably, the surface of the lifting plate is provided with honeycomb-shaped filter holes. The honeycomb filter hole design of the lifting plate increases air permeability, optimizes the hot air flow path, and improves drying efficiency.

[0012] Preferably, the lower end of the base plate is fixed with a base arranged in a ring array, and the ring-shaped base enhances the stability of the equipment.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom of the collection tank is provided with ventilation openings on both sides. The ventilation openings at the bottom of the collection tank promote the discharge of moisture, prevent water vapor backflow, and maintain the dry environment continuously.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0015] I. This utility model achieves efficient batch drying of Chinese medicinal materials through a rotary structure, modular heating and airflow circulation system. Its core advantages are automated continuous operation, precise temperature control and optimized energy consumption. At the same time, through detailed designs such as magnetic lifting and honeycomb filter holes, the drying uniformity and ease of operation are further improved.

[0016] Second, based on the first beneficial effect, with the combined use of the blower and heater, the drying airflow will continuously dry the surface of the medicinal materials without causing excessive damage to them.

[0017] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description
