[0023] 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.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] Please see Figure 1-3 A hot air circulating drying device for processing Pinellia ternata includes a drying box body 1, a cleaning component 3 installed on the top of the drying box body 1, a drying tray 4 installed inside the drying box body 1, and a turning component 2 installed on the outside of the drying tray 4.

[0026] The flipping assembly 2 includes an extension block 21, a mounting shell 22 fixed to the side of the extension block 21, a micro motor 23 installed inside the mounting shell 22, a screw 24 fixed to the output end of the micro motor 23, a sliding block 25 threadedly connected to the screw 24, a support rod 26 fixed to the side of the sliding block 25, and a rake tooth 27 fixed to the bottom of the support rod 26. A rubber sleeve is provided on the outside of the rake tooth 27 to prevent the rake tooth 27 from causing mechanical damage to the surface of Pinellia ternata during flipping. The micro motor 23 and the screw 24 are made of high temperature resistant materials.

[0027] An directional rod is fixed to the other end of the extension block 21 away from the screw 24. The directional rod is used to orient the sliding block 25.

[0028] A gear 28 is fixed to the side of the screw 24 near the micro motor 23. A rack 29 is meshed with the side of the gear 28. A baffle plate 210 is fixed to the side of the rack 29. A connecting rod 213 is fixed to the other end of the rack 29. When the baffle plate 210 is meshed with the rack 29 through the gear 28, it moves up and down in the lifting groove 212.

[0029] The extension block 21 has a connecting groove 211 inside, and a lifting groove 212 is provided on the side of the connecting groove 211. The baffle plate 210 is slidably connected in the lifting groove 212, and the gear 28 and the rack 29 mesh in the connecting groove 211.

[0030] In this embodiment, the Pinellia ternata to be dried is first placed on the drying tray 4, and then the drying tray 4 is placed in the drying chamber body 1. The drying chamber body 1 is then controlled by the PLC to blow hot air dry the Pinellia ternata in the drying tray 4. The PLC also controls the micro motor 23 to drive the screw 24 to rotate, which causes the sliding block 25 on the screw 24 to move the rake teeth 27 at the bottom of the support rod 26. This allows the rake teeth 27 to flip the Pinellia ternata in the drying tray 4, so that the other side of the flipped Pinellia ternata is dried by hot air, making the drying more even. In the early stage of drying the Pinellia ternata, the micro motor 23 is controlled by the PLC to flip the rake teeth 27 once every 20 minutes. As the drying time gradually increases, the interval between flipping the Pinellia ternata is increased. When the rake teeth 27 move and flip, the gear 28 and rack 29 on the screw 24 close to the micro motor 23 mesh and connect, so that the baffle plate 210 is raised from the lifting groove 212 at the same time, thereby protecting the inside of the drying tray 4.

The booster pump 33 is of model IHG40-200 and is used to draw and pressurize the water source in the water storage tank 31, so that it is sprayed out through the nozzle 35.

[0033] The top of the water storage tank 31 is provided with a water inlet 36, which is used to add water to the water storage tank 31 when the water source in the water storage tank 31 is insufficient. The bottom of the drying oven body 1 is provided with a drainage channel.

[0034] In this embodiment, after the drying chamber body 1 has finished drying the Pinellia ternata in the drying tray 4, the PLC controls the booster pump 33 to draw water from the water storage tank 31 through the suction pipe 32. Then, the booster pump 33 pressurizes the water and sprays it out from the nozzle 35 through the delivery pipe 34. The water is then sprayed onto the inner wall of the drying chamber body 1 through the nozzle 35, thereby cleaning the inner wall of the drying chamber body 1. The cleaned water is then discharged through the drainage channel at the bottom of the drying chamber body 1.
