Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying Chinese medicinal materials, and more specifically, it relates to a Chinese medicinal material washing and drying rack. Background Technology

[0002] Before being used in medicine, Chinese medicinal herbs typically undergo pre-treatment processes such as washing and drying. Washing removes dirt, impurities, and pesticide residues from the surface of the herbs, ensuring their purity and quality. Drying reduces the moisture content of the herbs, preventing mold and spoilage, and facilitating storage and further processing.

[0003] Traditional drying methods typically involve spreading Chinese medicinal herbs directly on the ground or rooftops for natural drying. Natural drying relies on natural wind, which results in slow air circulation and slow evaporation of moisture from the surface of the herbs, making the drying process time-consuming. If the herbs remain stationary during the drying process, some herbs may be over-dried while others are under-dried due to varying degrees of contact with the air.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to redesign a Chinese herbal medicine washing and drying rack to address the above issues. Utility Model Content

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0006] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a Chinese herbal medicine washing and drying rack. The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the natural drying method relies on natural wind, the air circulation is slow, the surface moisture of the Chinese herbal medicine evaporates slowly, and the drying time is long. During the drying process, if the Chinese herbal medicine is stationary, the degree of contact with the air will vary.

[0007] (II) Technical Solution

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] A Chinese herbal medicine washing and drying rack includes a mounting base. Two fixing plates are symmetrically fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the mounting base. A transmission device is provided between the two fixing plates. Multiple through slots are equally spaced on each fixing plate. A sliding groove is provided on one side of each fixing plate.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. This utility model, by setting up a ventilation device, a drying frame, a through groove, etc., uses a motor to drive the fan blades to rotate, generating a directional airflow. Through the through groove and the first and second through holes on the drying frame, the Chinese medicinal materials can be blown in all directions, which greatly accelerates the air circulation speed and causes the moisture on the surface of the Chinese medicinal materials to evaporate quickly, thereby significantly shortening the drying time and improving work efficiency.

[0018] 2. This utility model, by setting up a transmission device, a reset device and other devices, when the transmission shaft of the transmission device rotates, the protrusion pushes the drying frame to reciprocate, so that the Chinese medicinal materials continuously change positions during the drying process, avoiding the situation where some Chinese medicinal materials are in the same position for a long time, which would lead to uneven drying. This ensures that the Chinese medicinal materials in each place can fully contact the flowing air, thus guaranteeing the consistency and uniformity of the drying effect.

[0019] In summary, this utility model is simple to operate. The motor of the ventilation device drives the fan blades to generate a directional airflow, which blows the medicinal materials through the through holes on the drying frame in all directions, accelerating air circulation, quickly evaporating the surface moisture of the medicinal materials, greatly shortening the drying time, and improving work efficiency. The drive shaft of the transmission device rotates, and the protrusion pushes the drying frame to reciprocate, allowing the medicinal materials to change position, avoiding uneven drying, and ensuring a uniform drying effect.

[0024] 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.

[0025] The technical solution provided by this utility model:

[0026] Reference Figure 1-3 A Chinese herbal medicine washing and drying rack includes a mounting base 1. Two fixing plates 2 are symmetrically fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the mounting base 1. A transmission device is provided between the two fixing plates 2. Multiple through slots 8 are equally spaced on each fixing plate 2. A sliding groove 14 is provided on one side of each fixing plate 2. A reset device is provided in each sliding groove 14. A drying frame 3 is fixedly connected to the output end of the reset device. A ventilation device is provided on one side of one of the fixing plates 2, and the output end of the ventilation device is connected to the output end of the transmission device.

[0027] Furthermore, the transmission device includes a transmission shaft 10, which is rotatably mounted between two fixed plates 2. The output end of the ventilation device is fixedly connected to one end of the transmission shaft 10. Multiple protrusions 17 are fixedly mounted at equal intervals on the outer wall of the transmission shaft 10. The rotation of the transmission shaft 10 can drive the multiple protrusions 17 to rotate synchronously, so that the protrusions 17 can push the drying frame 3.

[0028] Furthermore, each reset device includes two springs 15, and the two springs 15 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the corresponding slide groove 14. One end of the two springs 15 is fixedly installed with a slider 16, and the slider 16 is slidably connected in the corresponding slide groove 14. The drying frame 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the slider 16. When the drying frame 3 is pushed by the protrusion 17, the drying frame 3 will drive the slider 16 to stretch the springs 15.

[0029] Furthermore, the ventilation device includes a motor 5 and a fixed shaft 6. The motor 5 is fixedly mounted on one side of the corresponding fixed plate 2 via a mounting bracket 4, and the output shaft of the motor 5 passes through one side of the corresponding fixed plate 2 and is fixedly connected to one end of the transmission shaft 10. The fixed shaft 6 is rotatably mounted on one side of the corresponding fixed plate 2. A first synchronous pulley 11 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the motor 5, and a second synchronous pulley 12 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the fixed shaft 6. A synchronous belt 13 is installed between the first synchronous pulley 11 and the second synchronous pulley 12. A fan blade 7 is fixedly mounted on one end of the fixed shaft 6. The rotation of the first synchronous pulley 11 can drive the second synchronous pulley 12 to rotate synchronously through the synchronous belt 13.

[0030] Furthermore, the bottom of the drying frame 3 is provided with multiple first through holes 9, and multiple second through holes 18 are provided on both sides of the drying frame 3. The opening of the first through holes 9 and the second through holes 18 further facilitates the drying of Chinese medicinal materials.

[0031] In practical use, the working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0032] The motor 5 is fixed to one side of one of the fixed plates 2 by the mounting bracket 4. After the motor 5 is turned on, the output shaft of the motor 5 rotates, which drives the first synchronous pulley 11 to rotate. Since a synchronous belt 13 is installed between the first synchronous pulley 11 and the second synchronous pulley 12, the rotation of the first synchronous pulley 11 drives the second synchronous pulley 12 to rotate through the synchronous belt 13, which in turn causes the fixed shaft 6 to rotate. The fan blades 7 at one end of the fixed shaft 6 start to rotate, generating airflow and providing ventilation for the drying of Chinese medicinal materials.

[0033] The output shaft of the motor 5 passes through the fixed plate 2 and is fixedly connected to one end of the transmission shaft 10. Therefore, when the motor 5 rotates, it will drive the transmission shaft 10 to rotate. Multiple protrusions 17 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the transmission shaft 10. As the transmission shaft 10 rotates, the protrusions 17 will also rotate.

[0034] The drying frame 3 is connected to two springs 15 of the reset device in the slide groove 14 via the slider 16. When the drive shaft 10 rotates and the protrusion 17 rotates to contact the drying frame 3, it will push the drying frame 3 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 15, causing the slider 16 to slide in the slide groove 14. The drying frame 3 moves away from the protrusion 17. When the protrusion 17 rotates away from the drying frame 3, the spring 15 returns to its original deformation, pulling the slider 16 and the drying frame 3 back to the initial position. In this way, during the continuous rotation of the drive shaft 10, the drying frame 3 will reciprocate under the action of the protrusion 17.

[0035] The bottom of the drying frame 3 has multiple first through holes 9, and the sides have multiple second through holes 18. Under the action of the airflow generated by the rotation of the fan blades 7, the air can pass through the first through holes 9 and the second through holes 18 through the Chinese medicinal materials placed in the drying frame 3, and take away the moisture on the surface of the Chinese medicinal materials to achieve the purpose of drying. At the same time, the reciprocating motion of the drying frame 3 also helps that all parts of the Chinese medicinal materials can fully contact the airflow, improving the drying efficiency and uniformity.

[0036] 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.
