Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, specifically a lotus seed drying rack. Background Technology

[0002] Lotus seeds are a traditional Chinese medicine. They are distributed throughout the provinces of northern and southern China. They have the effects of tonifying the spleen and stopping diarrhea, stopping leukorrhea, benefiting the kidneys and astringing essence, and nourishing the heart and calming the mind. They are commonly used for spleen deficiency diarrhea, leukorrhea, seminal emission, palpitations, and insomnia.

[0003] A Chinese utility model patent discloses a drying rack for processing Chinese medicinal herbs, including a base, a mounting rod, and a collar. The mounting rod is located on the upper end of the base. The beneficial effect of this drying rack is that, by incorporating a locking rod, a spring, and a pull handle, when the drying components need to be installed or disassembled, the user pulls the handle to the right, engaging the collar onto the mounting rod. When the collar is adjusted to the appropriate position, the first and second through holes align. Releasing the pull handle allows the locking rod to pass through the first through hole, the second through hole, and the locking groove under the spring's reaction force, thus enabling quick installation of the drying components and facilitating the drying of medicinal materials. When the drying components need to be disassembled, pulling the handle disengages the locking rod from the first through hole, the second through hole, and the locking groove, allowing the collar and drying components to be removed, thus facilitating transportation.

[0004] However, the aforementioned drying racks do not have bird-repelling functions. Medicinal herbs are typically dried outdoors, with the herbs directly exposed. During the drying process, birds may be attracted to peck at the herbs, causing surface damage, reducing their quantity, and ultimately resulting in loss. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a lotus seed drying rack to solve the problems in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a lotus seed drying rack, including a base, a mounting rod on the top of the base, drying components on both the front and back of the mounting rod, protective shells fixedly mounted on both sides of the top of the base, a support seat movably mounted on the top of the protective shell, an installation groove opened inside the support seat, and a fixing block movably mounted in the installation groove, the fixing block being connected to the support seat by a movable insertion, a rotating rod fixedly mounted on the top of the fixing block, bird-repelling rods fixedly mounted on both sides of the rotating rod, and a reflector fixedly mounted on one end of the bird-repelling rod;

[0007] The fixing block has an insertion hole inside, and a hand-tightening bolt is movably installed in the insertion hole.

[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 1-3 This utility model discloses a lotus seed drying rack, including a base 1. The top of the base 1 is provided with an installation rod 101. Drying components 102 are provided at both the front and rear of the installation rod 101. Protective shells 3 are fixedly provided on both sides of the top of the base 1. A support base 4 is movably provided on the top of the protective shell 3. An installation groove is opened inside the support base 4, and a fixing block 401 is movably provided in the installation groove. The connection between the fixing block 401 and the support base 4 is a movable plug-in connection. A rotating rod 5 is fixedly provided on the top of the fixing block 401. Bird-repelling rods 501 are fixedly provided on both sides of the rotating rod 5. A reflector 502 is fixedly provided at one end of the bird-repelling rod 501.

[0022] The fixing block 401 has an insertion hole inside, and a hand-tightening bolt 402 is movably installed in the insertion hole. The hand-tightening bolt 402 is connected to the support base 4 by a threaded connection. The support base 4 has a threaded hole inside that matches the hand-tightening bolt 402. A rotating column 6 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support base 4. A driven gear 601 is fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating column 6. A main gear 602 is movably installed on one side of the driven gear 601. The main gear 602 and the driven gear 601 are connected by a meshing connection. The bottom of the main gear 602 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 603.

[0023] Specifically, each of the four corners of the bottom of the base 1 is equipped with a lockable universal wheel 103.

[0024] In this implementation scheme, by incorporating locking casters 103, the drying rack equipped with these casters can be easily pushed, enabling rapid transfer between different locations without requiring significant manpower for handling, thus improving operational convenience and efficiency. It is worth noting that the locking casters 103 have a locking function. Once the drying rack is moved to a suitable position, the casters are locked to prevent accidental movement during the drying process, thereby ensuring the overall stability of the drying rack.

[0025] Specifically, a protective box 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the base 1, and a storage battery 201 is installed inside the protective box 2.

[0026] In this implementation plan, by setting up a storage battery 201, power support can be provided for equipment such as the motor 603.

[0027] Specifically, the connection between the fixing block 401 and the hand-tightening bolt 402 is a movable plug-in connection.

[0028] In this embodiment, by setting a hand-tightening bolt 402, tightening the hand-tightening bolt 402 causes it to rotate and shift, thereby inserting one end of the hand-tightening bolt 402 into the insertion hole of the fixing block 401, thereby restricting the fixing block 401 and the rotating rod 5.

[0029] Specifically, a maintenance plate 7 is movably provided on the front of the protective shell 3 via screws.

[0030] In this embodiment, by setting up the inspection plate 7 and loosening the screws, the restriction on the inspection plate 7 can be removed, and then the inspection plate 7 can be disassembled, thereby facilitating the inspection and maintenance of the interior of the protective shell 3.

[0031] Specifically, the material of the hand-tightening bolt 402 is stainless steel.

[0032] In this implementation scheme, stainless steel hand-tightening bolts 402 are used. Stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance and is less susceptible to corrosion from external environmental factors such as moisture, rain, and chemicals compared to ordinary carbon steel bolts. Even with long-term use outdoors or in humid environments, the hand-tightening bolts 402 will not rust, thus ensuring the stability of the structure and the reliability of the connection.

[0033] When using this product, place the lotus seeds inside the drying assembly 102. This drying assembly 102 provides a flat and stable platform for the lotus seeds, allowing them to spread evenly and fully receive sunlight, thus achieving the purpose of drying.

[0034] When repelling birds, motor 603 drives main gear 602 to rotate, and main gear 602, through transmission with driven gear 601, drives bird-repelling rod 501 and reflector 502 to rotate. During the rotation, reflector 502 can reflect light and produce a dynamic effect, thereby effectively repelling birds and making it difficult for medicinal materials to be pecked.

[0035] When disassembling the bird deterrent assembly, loosen the hand-tightening bolt 402 to cause it to rotate and move, thereby removing one end of the hand-tightening bolt 402 from the insertion hole of the fixing block 401. At this time, the bird deterrent assembly, which consists of the rotating rod 5, the bird deterrent rod 501, and the reflector 502, can be disassembled together.

[0036] When installing the bird deterrent assembly, insert the fixing block 401 at one end of the rotating rod 5 into the mounting groove of the support base 4, and then tighten the hand-tightening bolt 402 to cause it to rotate and shift, thereby inserting one end of the hand-tightening bolt 402 into the insertion hole of the fixing block 401, thereby restricting the fixing block 401 and the rotating rod 5, and thus realizing the installation of the bird deterrent assembly.

[0037] In summary, this lotus seed drying rack, through the installation of a motor 603, a main gear 602, a driven gear 601, a bird-repelling rod 501, and a reflector 502, allows the motor 603 to drive the main gear 602 to rotate. The main gear 602, through its transmission with the driven gear 601, drives the bird-repelling rod 501 and the reflector 502 to rotate. During rotation, the reflector 502 reflects light and creates a dynamic effect, effectively deterring birds and preventing the medicinal materials from being pecked, thus ensuring the integrity and quality of the herbs. Furthermore, this design reduces bird activity in the drying area, lowering the likelihood of bird droppings on the herbs, ensuring a relatively clean drying environment, and guaranteeing that the dried herbs meet the expected quality standards. A hand-tightening bolt 402 is included; loosening the hand-tightening bolt 402 causes rotational displacement, allowing one end of the bolt 402 to move out of the socket in the fixing block 401. At this point, the bird-repelling assembly, consisting of the rotating rod 5, the bird-repelling rod 501, and the reflector 502, can be detached, realizing the detachable function of the bird-repelling assembly. In areas with less bird activity, staff can choose not to install the bird-repelling assembly, while in areas with frequent bird activity, the bird-repelling assembly can be installed. This detachable design provides users with flexible options.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
