Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of drying ovens for Chinese medicinal materials, and in particular to a hot air circulating drying oven for Chinese medicinal materials. Background Technology
[0002] Drying Chinese medicinal herbs is a crucial step in the processing of traditional Chinese medicine, directly affecting their quality, retention of medicinal components, and shelf life. The principle of a hot air circulating drying oven for Chinese medicinal herbs is to use a circulating fan to create airflow within the oven, evenly distributing the heat generated by the heater to every corner, ensuring uniform heating of the herbs. The continuous circulation of hot air within the oven allows for thorough heat exchange with the surface moisture of the herbs, accelerating moisture evaporation.
[0003] Existing hot air circulating drying ovens for Chinese medicinal materials often require opening the door and reaching inside to handle the herbs, which is cumbersome and inconvenient for reliably and quickly handling the dried herbs, thus affecting the efficiency of the drying process. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hot air circulating drying oven for Chinese medicinal materials, which solves the problem that existing hot air circulating drying ovens for Chinese medicinal materials are inconvenient and difficult to handle stably and quickly after drying.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a hot air circulating drying box for Chinese medicinal materials, including a drying box for medicinal materials;
[0006] A circulating fan is fixedly connected to the top of the herbal drying box, and an electric heating wire is installed inside the circulating fan. A picking mechanism is installed on the outer wall of the herbal drying box.
[0007] The picking mechanism includes a drive motor fixedly installed on one side of the medicinal material drying box. The output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to a rotating rod via a coupling. A transmission gear is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod. A rack is movably connected to the outer wall of the transmission gear. A movable plate is fixedly connected to the top of the rack. A placement frame is fixedly connected to the top of the movable plate.
[0008] Preferably, a T-shaped guide plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable plate, and the picking mechanism further includes a T-shaped guide groove opened inside the medicinal material drying box.
[0009] Preferably, the transmission gear forms a rotating structure with the medicinal material drying box through a rotating rod, and the transmission gear meshes with a rack, so that the transmission gear can rotate to drive the movable plate to move.
[0010] Preferably, the T-shaped guide plate forms a sliding structure with the medicinal material drying box through the T-shaped guide groove. The T-shaped guide plate is symmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis of the movable plate, so that the T-shaped guide plate can slide along the T-shaped guide groove.
[0011] Preferably, the outer wall of the movable plate is fixedly connected to an opening mechanism. The opening mechanism includes a first receiving seat fixedly installed on the top of the movable plate, a first rotating shaft movably connected inside the first receiving seat, a support plate movably connected to the outer wall of the first rotating shaft, a second rotating shaft movably connected inside the support plate, a second receiving seat movably connected to the outer wall of the second rotating shaft, a cover plate fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second receiving seat, and a movable shaft installed on the outer wall of the cover plate.
[0012] Preferably, the first receiving seat forms a rotating structure with the support plate via a first rotating shaft, and the support plate forms a rotating structure with the second receiving seat via a second rotating shaft, which allows the movable plate to move and drive the support plate to press against the second receiving seat.
[0013] Preferably, the cover plate forms a rotating structure with the medicinal material drying box via a movable shaft, and the second receiving seat is symmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis of the cover plate, which allows the cover plate to be flipped open along the medicinal material drying box.
[0014] The advantages of the hot air circulating drying box for Chinese medicinal materials provided by this utility model are as follows:
[0015] The herbal drying box, circulating fan, heating wire, and picking mechanism are designed to facilitate the handling of Chinese medicinal herbs. By starting the drive motor, the transmission gear fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod can be rotated, causing the rack to move and the movable plate to move. The placement frame fixedly connected to the top of the herbal drying box is then removed, making it easier to pick up the Chinese medicinal herbs.
[0016] Furthermore, the sliding stability of the movable plate can be improved by the T-shaped guide plate and the T-shaped guide groove, thereby further improving the stability of picking up Chinese medicinal materials in the placement frame.
[0017] Furthermore, with the combined action of the circulating fan and the heating wire, hot air can be blown onto the Chinese medicinal materials in the placement frame, thereby improving the efficiency of the drying process.
[0018] With the addition of a medicinal herb drying box, a movable plate, and a lid-opening mechanism, the movable plate extends and moves. Under the action of the first rotating shaft, the support plate can rotate along the first receiving seat, and the top of the support plate can press against the second receiving seat, causing the lid to flip open along the medicinal herb drying box, further improving the convenience of taking out the Chinese medicinal herbs inside the drying box.
[0019] Furthermore, as the movable plate slides in along the drying box of medicinal materials, the cover plate can be flipped and closed by the traction of the support plate. Attached Figure Description
