[0002] Sun-drying is a crucial step in the processing of medicinal snakes, directly affecting the preservation of their medicinal properties and quality. As specialized equipment for sun-drying medicinal snakes, the performance of the drying device directly impacts the drying efficiency and the final quality of the snakes. Therefore, developing efficient and practical sun-drying devices for medicinal snakes has always been a key focus within the industry.

[0003] In existing technologies, medicinal snakes are mostly dried using natural air drying or simple drying racks combined with fans. Natural air drying mainly relies on sunlight and natural wind, by hanging the medicinal snakes on an open-air rack, utilizing the sunlight and airflow in the natural environment to achieve moisture evaporation. Simple drying racks are made by setting hooks on a fixed rack to hang the medicinal snakes, while fans are placed around them to accelerate airflow and assist the drying process.

[0004] However, existing technologies struggle to effectively control the influence of the external environment during the drying process. Strong ultraviolet radiation can damage the active ingredients of medicinal snakes, and dust in the air can adhere to the surface of the snakes, affecting their quality. At the same time, fan blowing or natural wind often fails to achieve a uniform effect on the snakes, leading to uneven drying in certain areas, which in turn affects the overall drying effect. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a medicinal snake drying device, which aims to improve the existing technology in the drying process, which is difficult to effectively control the influence of the external environment. At the same time, the fan blowing or natural wind often cannot achieve a uniform effect on the medicinal snake, and it is easy to cause local drying to be too fast or too slow.

[0008] Furthermore, a fixed top plate is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the drying chamber, a slider is slidably connected inside the fixed top plate, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the slider, and a barb is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod.

[0009] Furthermore, a limiting plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod, and the outer wall of the limiting plate is slidably connected to the lower surface of the fixed top plate.

[0010] Furthermore, a bearing is fixedly connected inside the slider, and a bidirectional screw is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bearing.

[0011] Furthermore, a handle is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional screw, and a locking block is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the bidirectional screw.

[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] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a medicinal snake drying device, comprising a drying chamber 1, a hot air chamber 2 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the drying chamber 1, an air inlet 3 provided inside the hot air chamber 2, conveying pipes 4 provided on both sides inside the hot air chamber 2, a drying component provided at one end of the conveying pipe 4, the drying component being used to evenly dry the medicinal snake component, a fixing plate 7 fixedly connected inside the drying chamber 1, a motor 8 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing plate 7, a connecting rod 9 fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 8, both ends of the connecting rod 9 being rotatably connected inside the fixing plate 7. A toothed concave wheel 10 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed plate 7. A toothed transmission belt 11 is provided inside the fixed plate 7. The toothed concave wheel 10 meshes with the toothed transmission belt 11. A connecting plate 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the toothed transmission belt 11. A guide rail 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate 12. The guide rail 13 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the fixed plate 7. The drying assembly includes a diversion pipe 5. One side of the outer wall of the diversion pipe 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the conveying pipe 4. The other side of the outer wall of the diversion pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate 12. Multiple nozzles 6 are provided inside the diversion pipe 5.

[0026] Specifically, when using the medicinal snake drying device, the medicinal snake is first hung on the hook 22 for drying. The glass cover outside the drying chamber 1 can reduce the impact of ultraviolet rays and prevent dust pollution. Then, the air inlet 3 draws outside air into the hot air chamber 2 for temperature control, and delivers it to the distribution pipe 5 through the conveying pipe 4. Finally, the nozzle 6 evenly dries the medicinal snake. During drying, the motor 8 drives the connecting rod 9 to rotate, and the connecting rod 9 drives the toothed concave wheel 10 to rotate synchronously. The toothed transmission belt 11 moves the drying device up and down, achieving efficient internal air circulation and avoiding uneven drying in certain areas.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5A fixed top plate 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the drying chamber 1. A slider 15 is slidably connected inside the fixed top plate 14. A connecting rod 20 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the slider 15. A barb 22 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 20. A limit plate 21 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod 20. The outer wall of the limit plate 21 is slidably connected to the lower surface of the fixed top plate 14. A bearing 18 is fixedly connected inside the slider 15. A double-acting screw 17 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bearing 18. A handle 16 is fixedly connected to one end of the double-acting screw 17. A locking block 19 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the double-acting screw 17. The outer wall of the locking block 19 is slidably connected to the inside of the slider 15. The outer wall of the locking block 19 is slidably connected to the inside of the fixed top plate 14. A guide block 23 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the locking block 19. The outer wall of the guide block 23 is slidably connected to the inside of the slider 15.

[0028] Specifically, before drying, the drying chamber 1 needs to be opened, and the handle 16 needs to be turned. Under the positioning support of the bearing 18, the bidirectional screw 17 rotates stably within the slider 15. Due to the threaded relationship between the locking block 19 and the bidirectional screw 17, the two locking blocks 19 within the slider 15 move in opposite directions, thereby adjusting the position of the medicinal snake. Pulling the connecting rod 20 causes the slider 15 to slide within the fixed top plate 14. Guided by the limiting plate 21, it drives the barb 22 to adjust its position to accommodate medicinal snakes of different sizes. When fixing, the handle 16 is driven in the opposite direction, causing the bidirectional screw 17 to rotate, and the locking blocks 19 move back into the fixed top plate 14, completing the adjustment of the barb 22.

[0029] Working principle: When the medicinal snake drying device is needed, the medicinal snake is first hung on the hook 22 for drying. During this process, the glass cover outside the drying chamber 1 reduces ultraviolet rays and avoids the influence of dust. Then, the air inlet 3 drives the outside air into the hot air chamber 2 for temperature control. Next, the air is delivered to the distribution pipe 5 through the delivery pipe 4. Finally, the nozzle 6 evenly dries the medicinal snake. During the drying process, the motor 8 drives the connecting rod 9 to rotate. The connecting rod 9 drives the toothed concave wheel 10 to rotate synchronously. The toothed transmission belt 11 moves the drying device up and down to achieve efficient air circulation inside and avoid uneven local conditions.

[0030] In addition, before drying, open the drying chamber 1, turn the handle 16, and use the bearing 18 for positioning support to make the bidirectional screw 17 rotate stably in the slider 15. The threaded relationship between the locking block 19 and the bidirectional screw 17 causes the two locking blocks 19 in the slider 15 to move in opposite directions to adjust the position of the medicinal snake. Pull the connecting rod 20, and the slider 15 slides in the fixed top plate 14. The limiting plate 21 guides and drives the barb 22 to adjust its position to adapt to different sizes of medicinal snakes. When fixing, reverse drive the handle 16 to drive the bidirectional screw 17 to rotate, and the locking block 19 moves back into the fixed top plate 14 to adjust the barb 22.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
