[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a drying device for rough processing of Polygonatum sibiricum, including a drying box 1. Rotating shafts 2 are rotatably installed inside both sides of the drying box 1. A rotating disk 3 is fixedly welded to one side of each rotating shaft 2. Four sets of rotating rods 4 are rotatably installed inside the rotating disk 3. Outer racks 7 are fixedly welded to one side of each rotating rod 4. Inner racks 8 are fitted inside the outer racks 7. Polygonatum sibiricum is laid flat between the outer racks 7 and the inner racks 8. A connecting gear 5 is fixedly welded to one side of each rotating rod 4, penetrating the rotating disk 3. A gear ring 6 is fixedly welded to one side of the interior of the drying box 1. The gear ring 6 is meshed and installed on the outside of the connecting gear 5. The rotating shaft 2 drives the rotating disk 3 to rotate, thereby driving the inner holding rack 8 and the outer holding rack 7 to rotate. At the same time, the gear ring 6 meshes with the connecting gear 5 and rotates, thereby driving the inner holding rack 8 and the outer holding rack 7 to rotate themselves, so that the Solomon's seal is dried more thoroughly. The drying box 1 is fixedly welded with a heating box 12. The upper part of the heating box 12 is fixedly welded with an air inlet pipe 13. The lower part of both sides of the drying box 1 has an air outlet 16. By passing gas into the heating box 12 through the air inlet pipe 13, the heated gas is blown towards the Solomon's seal in the drying box 1, thereby drying the Solomon's seal.

[0022] A mounting bracket 10 is fixedly welded to the outside of the drying oven 1. A motor 11 is mounted on the flange on the outside of the mounting bracket 10. A rotating shaft 2 on one side penetrates the drying oven 1 and is connected to the power end of the motor 11 via a coupling. The motor 11 drives the rotating shaft 2, thereby providing power for rotation. The motor 11 is not directly connected to the drying oven 1 to prevent the motor 11 from overheating.

[0023] Several sets of ventilation pipes 14 connected to the heating box 12 are fixedly welded to the upper part of the drying box 1, so that the air is dispersed and blown into the interior of the drying box 1. Several sets of heating plates 15 are threadedly installed on the inner wall of the heating box 12. The heating plates 15 heat the air and improve the drying effect.

[0024] The outer rack 7 and the inner rack 8 have a mesh structure on the top, bottom, front and back sides to ensure that air can pass through the outer rack 7 and the inner rack 8 to dry the Polygonatum. The outer rack 7 and the inner rack 8 have matching mounting holes 9 on both sides. The mounting holes 9 on both sides of the outer rack 7 and the inner rack 8 are connected by screws to achieve a fixed connection between the outer rack 7 and the inner rack 8.

[0025] The drying oven 1 has a door 17 installed on the front rotating shaft, which makes it easy to open the drying oven 1 and access the Polygonatum inside. The door 17 is equipped with a glass cover 18 to facilitate observation of the drying process of the Polygonatum.

[0026] The lower inner side of the drying oven 1 has an installation groove 19, and a waste box 20 is fitted inside the installation groove 19. A filter screen 24 is fixedly welded to the middle of the waste box 20. Soil and small pieces of Solomon's seal that fall from the outer rack 7 and the inner rack 8 fall into the waste box 20 in the installation groove 19. After removing the waste box 20, shaking the waste box 20 allows the soil to pass through the filter screen 24, thus achieving preliminary filtration of the soil and Solomon's seal. A door 25 is installed on the lower front shaft of the waste box 20, which faces the lower part of the filter screen 24, to facilitate the removal of soil.

[0027] A connecting plate 21 is fixedly welded to the upper outer side of the waste box 20. An embedded groove 26 matching the connecting plate 21 is opened on the upper side of the drying box 1. Receiving grooves 22 are opened on both sides of the connecting plate 21. A handle 23 is rotatably installed inside the receiving groove 22, so that the waste box 20 can be easily removed through the handle 23.

[0028] Working principle: When this utility model is in use, the motor 11 drives the rotating shaft 2, the rotating shaft 2 drives the rotating disk 3 to rotate, thereby driving the inner holding rack 8 and the outer holding rack 7 to rotate. At the same time, the gear ring 6 meshes with the gear 5 to rotate, thereby driving the inner holding rack 8 and the outer holding rack 7 to rotate themselves, so that the Solomon's seal is dried more thoroughly. By introducing gas into the heating box 12 through the air inlet pipe 13, heating it through the heating plate 15, and then blowing it onto the Solomon's seal in the drying box 1 through the air vent pipe 14, the Solomon's seal is dried.

[0029] The soil and small pieces of Polygonatum that fall from the outer rack 7 and the inner rack 8 fall into the waste box 20 in the installation groove 19. After removing the waste box 20, shaking the waste box 20 allows the soil to pass through the filter screen 24, thus achieving preliminary filtration of the soil and Polygonatum. This allows the soil inside the Polygonatum to be filtered while it is being dried.
