[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces technology, and in particular to a drying device for processing traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. Background Technology
[0002] Drying Chinese medicinal herbs is an important step in the processing of prepared Chinese medicinal materials. Its purpose is to remove excess moisture from the herbs by controlling temperature and humidity, so as to facilitate storage, transportation and subsequent processing.
[0003] For small-batch, refined drying processes of Chinese medicinal herbs, ovens are generally used. Ovens typically contain several trays. After the herbs are dried, the trays are still hot, making it impossible for workers to remove them immediately. They have to wait for the trays to cool down, which reduces the efficiency of drying the herbs. Alternatively, workers can wear thick heat-resistant gloves, but these gloves are too thick and affect the dexterity of their hands, which can cause them to tip over when lifting the trays.
[0004] Therefore, this application provides a drying apparatus for processing Chinese herbal medicine slices to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drying device for processing Chinese herbal medicine slices, which solves the problems of high temperature and inconvenience of handling trays in existing drying ovens.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a drying device for processing Chinese herbal medicine slices, including a box body, a temperature control system on the top surface of the box body, a door on the front of the box body, and several support beams symmetrically and horizontally arranged on the inner walls of both sides of the box body. The support beams are provided with grooves with openings at the top, and round tubes are installed in the grooves. The round tubes are arranged on both sides of the bottom surface of the tray body, and clamp legs are adapted to be inserted into the round tubes. The L-shaped upper clamp plate of the clamp is adapted to fit tightly against the inner wall of the long baffle at the front end of the tray. The clamp legs and the upper clamp plate together clamp the tray so as to remove the high-temperature tray.
[0007] A further improvement of this utility model is that a U-shaped groove is opened on the top surface of the support beam, the groove runs through the support beam, and the length of the support beam is equal to the depth of the inner cavity of the box.
[0008] A further improvement of the present invention is that the pallet also includes a bottom plate that abuts against the support beam, and two symmetrical long baffles and two symmetrical short baffles are vertically arranged on the upper surface of the bottom plate.
[0009] A further improvement of this utility model is that several through holes are provided on the base plate, the long baffle, and the short baffle body.
[0010] A further improvement of this utility model is that: circular tubes are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lower surface of the base plate, and the length of the circular tubes is equal to the length of the support beam.
[0011] A further improvement of the present invention is that the clamp also includes an upper clamping plate for tightly adhering to the inner wall of the long baffle. The upper clamping plate is L-shaped with an included angle of less than 90 degrees, and two upper clamping handles are integrally and symmetrically arranged at the rear end of the upper clamping plate.
[0012] A further improvement of the present invention is that the clamp also includes two clamp legs for inserting the round tube.
