Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying technology for plant active ingredients, and in particular to a drying device for plant active ingredients. Background Technology

[0002] Plant active ingredients refer to biologically active secondary metabolites in plants, excluding basic components such as water, sugars, proteins, and fats. These include terpenes, flavonoids, alkaloids, steroids, lignin, and minerals. These components are collectively referred to as "plant active ingredients" due to their physiological regulatory functions on humans and other organisms. Plant active ingredient drying equipment is used to dry plant active ingredients. It uses heat to vaporize the moisture in the material, generally water or other volatile liquid components, to obtain a solid material with a specified moisture content. The purpose of drying plant active ingredients is to meet the needs of material use or further processing. Additionally, dried materials are easier to transport and store, such as drying harvested grains to a certain moisture content (e.g., drying grains to a moisture content ≤12% to prevent mold). Due to the low efficiency and environmental constraints of natural drying, mechanized drying equipment has become the mainstream. Currently, most plant active ingredient drying devices on the market use electricity to appropriately heat the plant active ingredients, thereby disrupting the internal protoplasmic structure and accelerating moisture evaporation.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. 201721090002.X discloses an "Energy-Saving Plant Active Ingredient Drying Device," which includes a housing. A support rod is fixedly installed at the top center of the housing, and a wind turbine is movably installed on the top of the support rod. A movable ring is fitted in the middle of the support rod, and a connecting rod is fixedly installed on the right side of the movable ring. A solar panel is fixedly installed at the right end of the connecting rod. In this energy-saving plant active ingredient drying device, the heat from the microwave generator is directly generated inside the wet material, resulting in low heat loss, high thermal efficiency, and no environmental or noise pollution, effectively improving the working environment. Compared with traditional drying methods, microwave drying has the advantages of high drying rate, energy saving, high production efficiency, uniform drying, and clean production. The microwave reflective layer can effectively reflect microwaves, effectively improving the efficiency of microwave secondary refraction. However, the moisture generated during the drying process cannot be efficiently removed, leading to increased humidity inside the chamber, decreased measured drying efficiency, and affecting the drying effect.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a plant active ingredient drying device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
