Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In the processing of Chinese medicinal herbs, sun-drying is a crucial step in removing moisture and ensuring the quality of the herbs. Traditional methods of sun-drying Chinese medicinal herbs mainly rely on natural drying, which involves laying the herbs directly on the ground, bamboo mats, or simple drying racks, and using sunlight and natural wind to dry them.

[0003] Existing drying devices for Chinese medicinal herbs typically place trays directly inside the support frame. During the drying process, these trays are prone to shifting or tipping over, causing the herbs to scatter. Additionally, the trays are usually placed horizontally in layers, with the upper trays blocking sunlight from the lower trays. This results in limited light-receiving area for the herbs, leading to low drying efficiency. Furthermore, the lack of a turning mechanism makes it difficult for the internal moisture of the herbs to evaporate evenly. Dust, small stones, and other impurities can easily get mixed in during the drying process, requiring subsequent sorting. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the problems of unstable placement of the inner trays in the above-mentioned drying devices, the impact of horizontal placement of the trays on the light-receiving area of ​​the lower trays, and the lack of a structure for turning the medicinal materials over, making it difficult for the internal moisture of the medicinal materials to evaporate evenly, a drying device for Chinese medicinal materials can be designed.

[0005] The technical solution is as follows: A drying device for Chinese medicinal herbs includes a base; a control cylinder assembly for controlling the up-and-down movement of the upper components is installed inside the base; a "T"-shaped support frame is fixedly connected to the output end of the control cylinder assembly; a mounting box is welded to the upper end of the support frame; a bidirectional drive mechanism is provided inside the mounting box; elastic clamping plates are installed at the clamping end of the bidirectional drive mechanism; the elastic clamping plates are vertically equidistantly distributed along the clamping end of the bidirectional drive mechanism; a medicinal herb tray is clamped between the elastic clamping plates and another opposite elastic clamping plate; a positioning block is welded to the clamping end of the elastic clamping plate; the medicinal herb tray has two positioning grooves; the positioning grooves are symmetrically distributed about the center of the medicinal herb tray.

[0006] Furthermore, the bidirectional drive mechanism includes a drive motor, a bidirectional threaded rod, a threaded sleeve, a linkage arm, and a vertical support plate; the drive motor is installed at the right end of the mounting box; a bidirectional threaded rod is installed at the left end of the drive motor output shaft; the outer side of the bidirectional threaded rod is connected to a symmetrically arranged threaded sleeve; linkage arms are welded to both the front and rear ends of the threaded sleeve; a vertical support plate is welded to the end of the linkage arm away from the threaded sleeve; and elastic clamping plates are distributed at the clamping end of the vertical support plate.

[0007] Furthermore, both the positioning block and the positioning groove are inclined; the positioning groove and the positioning block are interlocked.

[0008] Furthermore, a storage box for storing unused medicinal material trays is fixedly connected to the upper end of the installation box; a dust cover is fitted and connected to the upper end of the installation box.

[0009] Furthermore, support legs are welded to both ends of the base; mounting bases are fixedly connected to the base; the mounting bases are symmetrically distributed about the center of the base; a limiting slide rod is provided at the upper end of the mounting base; sliding sleeves matching the position of the limiting slide rods are fixedly connected to both ends of the storage box; the limiting slide rods and sliding sleeves are slidably connected.

[0010] Furthermore, a discharge channel is connected to the lower end of the outer side of the medicinal herb tray; a baffle net is fixedly connected to the connection between the discharge channel and the medicinal herb tray.

[0011] Furthermore, sunshades are welded to both the front and rear ends of the dust cover; a rain curtain is installed at the end of the sunshade away from the dust cover.

[0012] The beneficial effects are as follows: This utility model allows for the removal of a corresponding number of medicinal herb trays based on the type and quantity of medicinal herbs to be dried. A bidirectional drive mechanism, coupled with a linkage elastic clamping plate, enables rapid installation and disassembly of the trays. The interlocking design of the positioning block and positioning groove ensures the trays are firmly fixed, preventing displacement or tipping during drying. Furthermore, the installed trays are tilted forward, allowing for greater sunlight exposure and improved drying efficiency. By controlling the cylinder assembly to drive the support frame and mounting box to vibrate up and down, the trays achieve a high-frequency tossing-flipping-falling dynamic process, ensuring even drying of the herbs. Additionally, inertia allows dust, small stones, and other impurities to be separated from the discharge channel through a baffle, improving the purity of the herbs. Attached Figure Description

[0021] When using this drying device, place it on a flat, sunny area. Depending on the type and quantity of herbs to be dried, take out a sufficient number of herb trays 7. Activate the bidirectional drive mechanism to open the trays and place them between the two elastic clamping plates 5, aligning the positioning blocks 6 with the positioning grooves 8. Reverse the bidirectional drive mechanism and close it to allow the positioning blocks 6 to engage with the positioning grooves 8, ensuring the herb trays 7 are securely clamped. After the herbs have been drying for a period of time, according to the predetermined program, activate the control cylinder group 2 of the base 1 to control the support frame 3 and the mounting box 9 to move smoothly up and down, indirectly causing the herb trays 7 to vibrate up and down at a certain frequency. When the herb trays 7 rise to their highest point, they quickly descend, and the herbs are thrown up and flipped due to inertia before falling back into the herb trays 7, completing the flipping process.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 , 3In this embodiment, support legs 10 are welded to both the left and right ends of the base 1; mounting bases 11 are fixedly connected to the base 1; the mounting bases 11 are symmetrically distributed about the center of the base 1; a limiting slide rod 12 is provided at the upper end of the mounting base 11; sliding sleeves 13 that match the position of the limiting slide rod 12 are fixedly connected to both the left and right ends of the storage box 14; the limiting slide rod 12 and the sliding sleeve 13 are slidably connected; when the upper part moves up and down, the upper part moves up and down smoothly under the restriction of the limiting slide rod 12 and the sliding sleeve 13.

[0023] Please see Figure 4 In this embodiment, both the positioning block 6 and the positioning groove 8 are inclined; the positioning groove 8 and the positioning block 6 are fitted together; the upper end of the mounting box 9 is fixedly connected to a storage box 14 for storing idle medicinal material trays 7; the upper end of the mounting box 9 is fitted with a dust cover 15; the lower end of the outer side of the medicinal material tray 7 is connected to a discharge channel 16; a baffle net 17 is fixedly connected to the connection between the discharge channel 16 and the medicinal material tray 7; a sunshade baffle 18 is welded to both the front and rear ends of the dust cover 15; a rain curtain 19 is provided at the end of the sunshade baffle 18 away from the dust cover 15; the installed medicinal material tray 7 is tilted forward, which can be exposed to more sunlight and improve drying efficiency. The medicinal material tray 7 vibrates up and down at a certain frequency. When the medicinal material tray 7 rises to the highest point, it falls rapidly. The medicinal materials are thrown up and flipped due to inertia, and then fall back into the medicinal material tray 7, completing the flipping. It can also discharge the medicinal materials and impurities, such as dust and small stones, through the baffle net 17 and out of the discharge channel 16.

[0024] Please see Figure 5 In this embodiment, the bidirectional drive mechanism includes a drive motor 401, a bidirectional threaded rod 402, a threaded sleeve 403, a linkage arm 404, and a vertical support plate 405. The drive motor 401 is mounted on the right end of the mounting box 9. The bidirectional threaded rod 402 is mounted on the left end of the output shaft of the drive motor 401. The outer side of the bidirectional threaded rod 402 is connected to a symmetrically arranged threaded sleeve 403. Linkage arms 404 are welded to both the front and rear ends of the threaded sleeve 403. A vertical support plate 405 is welded to the end of the linkage arm 404 away from the threaded sleeve 403. The clamping end is equipped with elastic clamping plates 5. When the bidirectional drive mechanism is activated, the output shaft of the drive motor 401 drives the bidirectional threaded rod 402 to rotate, causing the threaded sleeve 403 to move to both sides, which in turn causes the linkage arm 404 and the vertical support plate 405 to open, placing the herb tray 7 between the two elastic clamping plates 5, aligning the positioning block 6 with the positioning groove 8. The bidirectional drive mechanism is then activated in the reverse direction, causing the vertical support plate 405 to open and close, allowing the positioning block 6 to engage with the positioning groove 8, ensuring that the herb tray 7 is securely clamped, and enabling rapid installation and removal of the herb tray 7.

[0025] When using the drying device, place the drying device for Chinese medicinal materials on a flat, sunny area. Depending on the type and quantity of Chinese medicinal materials to be dried, open the dust cover 15 and take out a sufficient number of medicinal material trays 7 from the storage box 14.

[0026] When the bidirectional drive mechanism is activated, the output shaft of the drive motor 401 drives the bidirectional threaded rod 402 to rotate, causing the threaded sleeve 403 to move to both sides, which in turn causes the linkage arm 404 and the vertical support plate 405 to open, placing the medicinal material tray 7 between the two elastic clamping plates 5, aligning the positioning block 6 with the positioning groove 8. The bidirectional drive mechanism is then activated in the reverse direction, causing the vertical support plate 405 to open and close, so that the positioning block 6 and the positioning groove 8 are engaged, ensuring that the medicinal material tray 7 is securely clamped.

[0027] The Chinese medicinal herbs to be dried are evenly spread on the herb tray 7. A sunshade 18 and a rain curtain 19 are installed above the herb tray 7 to provide protection during non-drying periods or in inclement weather.

[0028] After the medicinal materials have been dried for a period of time, the control cylinder group 2 of the base 1 is started according to the predetermined program. The control support frame 3 and the mounting box 9 move up and down smoothly as a whole under the restriction of the limit slide rod 12 and the slide sleeve 13. This indirectly drives the medicinal material tray 7 to vibrate up and down at a certain frequency. When the medicinal material tray 7 rises to the highest point, it falls down quickly. The medicinal materials are thrown up and flipped due to inertia, and then fall back into the medicinal material tray 7, completing the flipping. It can also discharge the medicinal materials and impurities, such as dust and small stones, through the baffle 17 and out of the discharge channel 16.
