[0033] The screening mechanism 9 includes an outlet 91 located on the front of the screening and drying chamber 3. A loading door 92 is installed on the front of the outlet 91. Fixed seats 93 are fixedly connected to the left, right, front, and rear ends inside the screening and drying chamber 3. Spring columns 94 are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the inner ends of the fixed seats 93. Pressure plates 95 are fixedly connected to the inner ends of the spring columns 94. Screening plates 96 are inserted into the fixed seats 93. A rotating shaft 97 is rotatably connected inside the screening and drying chamber 3. A main control motor 98 is installed on the back of the screening and drying chamber 3. A fixed plate 95 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 97. The sleeve 99 has an impact column 901 fixedly connected to its surface. After the medicinal materials fall into the screening and drying chamber 3, the main control motor 98 is started to drive the rotating shaft 97 to rotate, which drives the impact column 901 to periodically impact the screening plate 96, so that the medicinal materials on the surface can be evenly distributed on the surface, preventing excessive accumulation from affecting the drying effect. Later, the screening plate 96 can be taken out and the medicinal materials collected by opening the retrieval door 92. The setting of this mechanism improves the screening effect of the medicinal materials, and can also achieve more efficient drying when used with the drying mechanism 8.
[0034] The rotating shaft 97 is fixedly connected to the front output end of the main control motor 98, and the top of the impact column 901 is in contact with the bottom of the screening plate 96.

[0038] Mounting plate 83 and fan 84 are located at the outer end of heating tube 85, and drying oven 82 is designed as a detachable structure. Example
[0039] Please see Figure 1-6 Based on Embodiment 1, the crushing mechanism 7 further includes a rotating shaft 71, which is rotatably connected to the inside of the crushing box 1. A crushing blade 72 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 71. A first transmission gear 73 is provided at the front right side of the crushing box 1, and a second transmission gear 74 is installed at the rear right side of the crushing box 1. A control motor 75 is provided at the front right side of the crushing box 1. A weighted feeding plate 76 is fixedly connected inside the feeding box 2. After the medicinal materials enter the feeding box 2, they will fall along the weighted feeding plate 76 and enter the crushing box 1 for crushing. The rotating shaft 71 and the first transmission gear 73 can be driven to rotate by the control motor 75, which will simultaneously drive the second transmission gear 74 and another set of rotating shafts 71 to rotate. The crushing blade 72 will continue to crush the medicinal materials. The setting of this mechanism can efficiently crush the medicinal materials. The setting of the weighted feeding plate 76 can ensure that too much material is fed at the same time, preventing the device from being blocked by too much material.
[0040] Two sets of rotating shafts 71 are provided. The rotating shafts 71 are fixedly connected to the left output end of the control motor 75. The first transmission gear 73 and the second transmission gear 74 mesh with each other.
[0041] The first transmission gear 73, the second transmission gear 74 and the control motor 75 are located at the right end of the crushing box 1, and the component feeding plates 76 are staggered inside the feeding box 2.

[0043] In actual operation, when this device is used, the medicinal materials enter the feed box 2 and fall down along the feed plate 76 into the crushing box 1 for crushing. The motor 75 can be controlled to drive the rotating shaft 71 and the first transmission gear 73 to rotate, which in turn drives the second transmission gear 74 and another set of rotating shafts 71 to rotate. The crushing blades 72 continue to crush the medicinal materials. This mechanism can efficiently crush the medicinal materials. The feed plate 76 can ensure that too much material is fed at the same time, preventing the device from being blocked due to excessive material feeding.
[0044] After the medicinal materials fall into the screening and drying chamber 3, the main control motor 98 is started to drive the rotating shaft 97 to rotate, which drives the impact column 901 to periodically impact the screening plate 96, so that the medicinal materials on the surface can be evenly distributed on the surface, preventing excessive accumulation from affecting the drying effect. Later, the screening plate 96 can be taken out and the medicinal materials collected by opening the retrieval door 92. The setting of this mechanism improves the screening effect of the medicinal materials, and can also be used in conjunction with the drying mechanism 8 to achieve more efficient drying.
[0045] While screening, the drying mechanism 8 is activated to dry the materials. The fan 84 will evenly distribute the heat generated by the electric heating tube 85 inside the screening and drying box 3 to fully dry the medicinal materials.
[0046] During the screening process, some smaller and unqualified medicinal material fragments will fall to the bottom through the screening plate 96 and be discharged through the guide feeding plate 6.
