Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a drying device for natural borneol, comprising:

[0034] L-shaped mounting bracket 100;

[0035] A drying assembly 200 is used to dry natural borneol. The drying assembly 200 includes a drying cylinder 201 slidably disposed on the surface of an L-shaped mounting base 100. A vacuum generator 202 for drawing a vacuum inside the drying cylinder 201 and a cooler 203 for cooling the inside of the drying cylinder 201 are respectively disposed on the upper surface of the drying cylinder 201. The vacuum generator 202 is model VN-14-H-T4-PQ2-VQ3-RO2, and the cooler 203 is model ZMD26KVE-TFD-904. A pressure gauge 204 for detecting the pressure inside the drying cylinder 201 and a thermometer 205 for detecting the temperature inside the drying cylinder 201 are respectively disposed on the surface of the drying cylinder 201. The drying assembly 200 also includes two mounting plates 206 slidably disposed on the upper surface of the L-shaped mounting base 100 and a placement plate 207 fixed on the upper surface of the mounting plates 206 for placing natural borneol.

[0036] See Figure 2 A sealing ring 208 corresponding to the mounting plate 206 is fixed at the bottom outer edge of the drying cylinder 201, and the outer diameter of the mounting plate 206 is larger than the outer diameter of the drying cylinder 201.

[0037] Specifically, by setting the sealing ring 208, an effective seal can be achieved after the bottom of the drying cylinder 201 is pressed against the surface of the mounting plate 206.

[0038] The drive assembly 300 is used to drive the drying cylinder 201 to move up and down. The drive assembly 300 includes a first motor 301 fixed to the top of the L-shaped mounting base 100.

[0039] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 The L-shaped mounting base 100 has a rectangular opening on its surface, and a rectangular plate 302 is slidably disposed on the inner wall of the rectangular opening. The end of the rectangular plate 302 is fixedly connected to the surface of the drying cylinder 201.

[0040] Specifically, by setting up a rectangular plate 302, the drying cylinder 201 can be automatically raised and lowered by the lifting and lowering of the rectangular plate 302.

[0041] See Figure 3The output end of the first motor 301 extends into the interior of the rectangular opening and is fixed with a vertical threaded post 303. The surface of the rectangular plate 302 is provided with a vertical threaded hole that is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the vertical threaded post 303.

[0042] Specifically, by setting a vertical threaded post 303, the rectangular plate 302 can be automatically raised and lowered by rotating the vertical threaded post 303.

[0043] See Figure 3 The inner wall of the rectangular opening is fixed with two symmetrical limiting rods 304, and the upper surface of the rectangular plate 302 is provided with two sliding holes that are slidably connected to the surfaces of the two limiting rods 304 respectively.

[0044] Specifically, by setting the limit rod 304, the stability of the rectangular plate 302 during its sliding process can be effectively guaranteed.

[0045] In this embodiment, by setting up the drying component 200 and the driving component 300, the drying device can place the natural ice flakes in the placement tray 207 and start the first motor 301 when drying natural ice flakes. The rotation of the first motor 301 drives the vertical threaded column 303 to rotate, and the rotation of the vertical threaded column 303 drives the rectangular plate 302 to move downward, thereby driving the drying cylinder 201 to move downward and press against the upper surface of the mounting tray 206, so that the natural ice flakes enter the interior of the drying cylinder 201. Then, the cooler 203 is started to cool the interior of the drying cylinder 201. The temperature is monitored using thermometer 205 until it drops to -1 degree Celsius. Then, the cooler 203 is turned off and left for 5 minutes to allow the moisture on the natural borneol to freeze. After that, the vacuum generator 202 is activated to create a vacuum inside the drying cylinder 201. The pressure gauge 204 is observed to ensure that the pressure inside the drying cylinder 201 reaches 1.33 Pa. At this point, the ice on the natural borneol can automatically sublimate, thus achieving the purpose of freeze-drying the moisture on the surface of the natural borneol. This avoids the use of heating drying methods, ensuring that the internal components of the borneol are not lost, and thus ensuring the efficacy of the dried borneol.

[0046] Example 2

[0047] Based on Example 1, and differing from Example 1 in that,

[0048] A drying apparatus for natural borneol, further comprising:

[0049] The switching component 400 is used to drive the two mounting plates 206 to switch back and forth. The switching component 400 includes a second motor 401 fixed to the outer surface of the L-shaped mounting base 100.

[0050] See Figure 4The switching component 400 also includes a strip groove formed on the upper surface of the L-shaped mounting base 100, and a sliding plate 402 slidably disposed on the surface of the L-shaped mounting base 100. Two mounting discs 206 are symmetrically fixed on the surface of the sliding plate 402. The output end of the second motor 401 extends into the interior of the strip groove and is fixedly provided with a transverse threaded post 403. A sliding block 404 is slidably disposed on the inner wall of the strip groove. The top end of the sliding block 404 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the sliding plate 402, and a transverse threaded hole is formed on the side of the sliding block 404 that is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the transverse threaded post 403.

[0051] Specifically, by setting the transverse threaded post 403, the rotation of the second motor 401 can drive the transverse threaded post 403 to rotate, thereby driving the sliding block 404 to move automatically laterally.

[0052] See Figure 4 The inner wall of the strip groove is fixed with two symmetrical contact switches 405 corresponding to the sliding block 404, and both contact switches 405 are electrically connected to the second motor 401 through wires.

[0053] Specifically, when the second motor 401 is started and the sliding block 404 is moved, when one placement tray 207 is disengaged from the bottom of the drying cylinder 201 and the other placement tray 207 enters the bottom area of ​​the drying cylinder 201 and is directly opposite the drying cylinder 201, the sliding block 404 contacts a contact switch 405. The contact switch 405 automatically controls the second motor 401 to turn off, thereby achieving the purpose of accurately switching to the position directly below the drying cylinder 201 during the switching process of the placement tray 207.

[0054] In this embodiment, by setting a switching component 400, after the natural borneol in one placement tray 207 is dried, the first motor 301 can be started to reverse and drive the drying cylinder 201 to lift and reset. Then, the second motor 401 is started. The rotation of the second motor 401 drives the horizontal threaded column 403 to rotate. The rotation of the horizontal threaded column 403 drives the sliding block 404 to move. The movement of the sliding block 404 drives the sliding plate 402 to move. This causes the dried placement tray 207 to detach from the bottom area of ​​the drying cylinder 201, and the undried placement tray 207 to enter the bottom area of ​​the drying cylinder 201. This achieves the purpose of automatic switching between the two placement trays 207, which facilitates the rapid drying of the natural borneol on the other placement tray 207 and improves work efficiency.

[0055] Working Principle: When drying natural borneol, the drying device places the borneol in the placement tray 207 and starts the first motor 301. The rotation of the first motor 301 drives the vertical threaded column 303 to rotate, which in turn moves the rectangular plate 302 downward, thereby moving the drying cylinder 201 downward and pressing it against the upper surface of the mounting tray 206, allowing the natural borneol to enter the drying cylinder 201. Then, the cooler 203 is started to cool the inside of the drying cylinder 201, and the temperature is monitored by the thermometer 205 until it drops to -1 degree Celsius. The cooler 203 is then turned off, and after 5 minutes, the moisture on the natural borneol freezes. Then, the vacuum generator 202 is started to create a vacuum inside the drying cylinder 201, and the pressure gauge 204 is monitored until the pressure inside the drying cylinder 201 reaches 1.33 Pa. At this point, the ice on the natural borneol automatically... Sublimation is used to freeze-dry the surface moisture of natural borneol, avoiding the use of heat drying methods, ensuring that the internal components of the borneol are not lost, and thus ensuring the efficacy of the dried borneol. Moreover, after the natural borneol in one placement tray 207 is dried, the first motor 301 can be started to reverse and drive the drying cylinder 201 to lift and reset, and then the second motor 401 can be started. The rotation of the second motor 401 drives the horizontal threaded column 403 to rotate, and the rotation of the horizontal threaded column 403 drives the sliding block 404 to move. The movement of the sliding block 404 drives the sliding plate 402 to move, so that the dried placement tray 207 is removed from the bottom area of ​​the drying cylinder 201, and the undried placement tray 207 enters the bottom area of ​​the drying cylinder 201. This achieves the purpose of automatic switching between the two placement trays 207, which facilitates the rapid drying of the natural borneol on the other placement tray 207 and improves work efficiency.

[0056] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
