Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, specifically a combined drying device. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) processing involves handling and processing natural plant, animal, or mineral raw materials into usable TCM products. This process includes multiple steps such as raw material collection, washing, drying, cutting, crushing, processing, and extraction. The aim is to make TCM easier to preserve and transport, and to improve its efficacy. The drying process is crucial because damp herbs are prone to mold and spoilage. Common drying methods include sun drying, shade drying, oven drying, and hot air drying. The most common sun drying method is natural air drying, where herbs are directly spread on a clean drying platform. In developing this invention, the inventors discovered the following problems with existing technologies:
[0003] 1. Traditional drying racks are all one-piece structures, with the storage platform and the fixed frame fixed together. The storage platform cannot be disassembled separately, making it inconvenient to move and transport.
[0004] 2. The one-piece structure cannot be adjusted and cannot make reasonable use of space. Especially when multiple drying spaces are needed, the one-piece structure has poor flexibility and may lead to wasted space, making it impossible to dry the medicinal materials in all directions. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a combined drying device to solve the problems of inconvenient transfer and handling, and lack of adjustability of the integrated drying device mentioned in the background art, resulting in insufficient drying of medicinal materials. To achieve the above objective, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a combined drying device, including a drying tray, with assembly mechanisms installed on both sides of the drying tray, and a support mechanism rotatably connected to the end of the assembly mechanism. Rotating rods are welded to the middle of both sides of the drying tray, and rings and springs are sleeved on the surface of the rotating rods.
[0006] The assembly mechanism includes a side rod, a sleeve welded to the middle of the side rod, a limit rod welded to the end of the side rod, a lead screw rotatably connected to the inner wall of the limit rod, a slider threadedly connected to the surface of the lead screw, a lever welded to one end of the slider, and a connecting rod slidably connected to the surface of the side rod.
[0007] More preferably, the support mechanism includes a main rod, with a front support rod and a rear support rod rotatably connected to the surface of the main rod, and a folding rod rotatably connected to the middle of the front support rod and the rear support rod.
[0008] More preferably, the assembly mechanism has a total of eight groups, and the side rods, connecting rods and main rods form a triangular stable structure.
[0009] More preferably, the rotating rod and the sleeve are connected by an insertion method.
[0010] More preferably, the slider and the limiting rod are connected by a sliding connection.
[0011] More preferably, the drying tray forms a rotating structure between the assembly mechanism and the support mechanism.
[0012] More preferably, the surface of the drying tray is welded with a dividing strip, and the bottom of both sides of the drying tray is provided with sliding grooves.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] In this invention, the device is designed as a detachable split structure. The rotating rod is inserted along the sleeve, the ring abuts against the surface of the sleeve, and the spring is compressed. As the rotating rod on the right is inserted into the sleeve, the space on the left is reserved. The rotating rod on the left is aligned with the sleeve, and under the elastic force of the spring, the rotating rod on the left is inserted into the sleeve. The drying tray and the assembly mechanism can then be assembled together, achieving a quick assembly and disassembly effect, which is convenient for storage and transfer.
[0015] In this invention, a triangular stable structure is formed by the side rods, connecting rods, and main rods to support the side rods and drying trays. Eight sets of assembly mechanisms are distributed on the surfaces of the two main rods to form a symmetrical structure. The four drying trays are staggered and distributed so as not to block each other. The drying trays can rotate and swing along the sleeve to flexibly adjust the horizontal angle of drying. When the drying trays are tilted, the Chinese medicinal materials on their surfaces are fully exposed to sunlight. Attached Figure Description

[0022] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a combined drying device, including a drying tray 1, an assembly mechanism 2 installed on both sides of the drying tray 1, a support mechanism 3 rotatably connected to the end of the assembly mechanism 2, and a rotating rod 4 welded to the middle of both sides of the drying tray 1, with a ring 5 and a spring 6 sleeved on the surface of the rotating rod 4.
[0024] The assembly mechanism 2 includes a side rod 201, a sleeve 202 welded to the middle of the side rod 201, a limit rod 203 welded to the end of the side rod 201, a lead screw 204 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the limit rod 203, a slider 205 threadedly connected to the surface of the lead screw 204, a lever 206 welded to one end of the slider 205, and a connecting rod 207 slidably connected to the surface of the side rod 201.
[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support mechanism 3 includes a main rod 301, with a front support rod 302 and a rear support rod 303 rotatably connected to the surface of the main rod 301. A folding rod 304 is rotatably connected to the middle of the front support rod 302 and the rear support rod 303. It should be noted that the support mechanism 3 has two sets. The two front support rods 302 and the two rear support rods 303 can be unfolded to form a four-corner stable structure to support the drying tray 1.
[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 3As shown, the assembly mechanism 2 has eight sets, and the side rods 201, connecting rods 207 and main rods 301 form a triangular stable structure. It should be noted that the eight sets of assembly mechanisms 2 are distributed on the surfaces of the two main rods 301, forming a symmetrical structure. The ends of the side rods 201 and connecting rods 207 are evenly connected to the main rods 301 for rotation. When the side rods 201 are unfolded, they are perpendicular to the main rods 301. The side rods 201, connecting rods 207 and main rods 301 form a triangular stable structure to support the side rods 201 and the drying trays 1. The four drying trays 1 are staggered and distributed so that they do not block each other.
[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the rotating rod 4 and the sleeve 202 are connected by an insertion method. It should be noted that the rotating rod 4 and the drying tray 1 are welded together. First, the rotating rod 4 on the right side of the drying tray 1 is inserted along the sleeve 202. The ring 5 abuts against the surface of the sleeve 202, and the spring 6 is compressed. As the rotating rod 4 on the right side is inserted into the sleeve 202, the space on the left side is reserved. The rotating rod 4 on the left side is aligned with the sleeve 202. Under the elastic force of the spring 6, the rotating rod 4 on the left side is inserted into the sleeve 202, and the drying tray 1 and the assembly mechanism 2 can be assembled together.
[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the slider 205 and the limiting rod 203 are connected by a sliding connection. It should be noted that the limiting rod 203 limits the slider 205, and the lead screw 204 has a self-locking structure. As the lead screw 204 rotates, the slider 205 slides vertically up and down. The slider 205 drives the lever 206 to move up and down, so as to finely adjust the angle of the drying tray 1.
[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the drying tray 1 forms a rotating structure through the assembly mechanism 2 and the support mechanism 3. It should be noted that after the rotating rod 4 on the side of the drying tray 1 is inserted into the sleeve 202, it can rotate and swing along the sleeve 202. The horizontal angle of drying can be flexibly adjusted. After the drying tray 1 is tilted, the Chinese medicinal materials on its surface are fully in contact with the sunlight.
[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the surface of the drying tray 1 is welded with a dividing strip 7, and the bottom of both sides of the drying tray 1 is provided with a sliding groove 8. It should be noted that the dividing strip 7 divides the drying tray 1 into areas to prevent the medicinal materials from being piled up together. The sliding groove 8 on both sides of the drying tray 1 facilitates the insertion of the lever 206 and provides space for the lever 206 to slide.
[0031] The method of use and advantages of this utility model: The working process of this combined drying device is as follows:
[0032] like Figure 1 ,Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, firstly, rotate and unfold the front support rod 302 and the rear support rod 303. As the front support rod 302 and the support rod unfold, the folding rod 304 unfolds synchronously, limiting the front support rod 302 and the rear support rod 303. Then, rotate and open the side rod 201, rotating the side rod 201 to a horizontal state. As the side rod 201 rotates, the connecting rod 207 rotates synchronously, supporting the side rod 201 through the connecting rod 207. Then, install the drying tray 1 onto the side rod 201, align the rotating rod 4 with the sleeve 202 and insert it. The ring 5 abuts against the surface of the sleeve 202, and the spring 6 is compressed. Then, insert the rotating rod 4 on the other side into the sleeve 202, release the drying rack, and under the elastic force of the spring 6, the drying tray 1 returns to the center position. Then, rotate the lead screw 204. When the lead screw 204 rotates clockwise, the slider 205 moves upward, driving the lever 206 to move upward. Conversely, it moves downward, adjusting the tilt angle of the four drying trays 1 respectively.
[0033] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
