Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary devices for processing medicinal materials, specifically, a convenient drying rack for medicinal materials. Background Technology
[0002] The drying of medicinal herbs takes several days, which requires a significant amount of space for industrialized production. Given limited space, multi-layered drying racks are often necessary. However, existing multi-layered drying racks, due to their numerous layers and considerable height, make the process of adding and removing herbs cumbersome. The large number of layers and height cause significant inconvenience to workers. Despite this, multi-layered drying racks are the most cost-effective and efficient method for drying medicinal herbs. Therefore, improving the existing problems with multi-layered medicinal herb drying racks is crucial. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a convenient drying rack for medicinal herbs, so that the number of drying rack layers can be selected as needed, and the herbs can be easily added and removed from the drying racks at higher positions.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical means:
[0005] A convenient drying rack for medicinal herbs, comprising several drying racks stacked from top to bottom;
[0006] The drying rack includes a rectangular frame, with a drying board inside the frame. Support legs are installed at the four corners of the rectangular frame, and each support leg has a spherical cavity at its bottom. A ball is slidably mounted inside the spherical cavity, with the bottom surface of the ball extending out of the cavity. A groove is constructed on the top surface of the first and second opposing sides of the rectangular frame. Both ends of the groove extend along the first or second side, and are positioned directly above one of the balls. The groove is an arc-shaped groove, with its two ends forming spherical grooves that match the balls.
[0007] Preferably, the drying board is provided with a plurality of vertically penetrating ventilation holes, and the ventilation holes are arranged in an array on the drying board.
[0008] Furthermore, the ventilation hole is a circular hole.
[0009] Furthermore, the thickness of the drying board is less than the thickness of the rectangular frame, the portion of the rectangular frame located on the lower side of the drying board serves as a handling handle, and the portion of the rectangular frame located on the upper side of the drying board serves as a material shielding portion.
[0010] Furthermore, the rectangular frame, the drying board, the support legs, and the rolling ball are all made of 304 stainless steel.
[0011] This utility model has the following beneficial effects during use:
[0012] By using stacked drying racks, the overall height of the drying racks can be adjusted according to actual needs. Furthermore, during the process of adding and removing materials, workers can easily place the herbs onto the drying racks before stacking them upwards, effectively avoiding the need for workers to stand at excessive height to retrieve the herbs. Moreover, the specific connection between the upper and lower drying racks uses a ball bearing system embedded in a sliding groove, with the ball bearing abutting against both ends of the groove for horizontal restraint. This prevents relative horizontal displacement when the racks are stacked, thus avoiding the possibility of the higher rack falling. Meanwhile, when installing the high-altitude drying rack, a ball bearing can be inserted into a groove first. Using the curved groove, the worker manipulates the drying rack to rotate along the inserted ball bearing. Once rotated to a convenient position, another ball bearing is inserted into another groove. After each groove has a ball bearing, the worker pushes the ball bearing along the groove. Once the ball bearing is in contact with the groove, the entire rectangular frame is lifted, and the remaining two ball bearings are inserted into the groove. The support legs then rest on the lower rectangular frame, completing the assembly of the upper drying rack. This method not only saves effort but also ensures accuracy during the installation of the high-altitude drying rack, preventing spillage of medicine or the rack falling due to inaccurate assembly or excessive weight.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a convenient medicinal herb drying rack includes several drying racks stacked from top to bottom;
[0026] The drying rack includes a rectangular frame 1, with a drying board 2 inside the inner frame of the rectangular frame 1. Support legs 3 are installed on the bottom surfaces of the four corners of the rectangular frame 1. A spherical cavity 4 is constructed at the bottom end of each support leg 3, and a rolling ball 5 is slidably installed within the spherical cavity 4. The bottom surface of the rolling ball 5 extends out of the spherical cavity 4. A sliding groove 8 is constructed on the top surface of the first side 6 and the second side 7 of the rectangular frame 1, with both ends of the sliding groove 8 extending along the first side 6 or the second side 7. Each end of the sliding groove 8 is located directly above a rolling ball 5. The sliding groove 8 is an arc-shaped groove, and its two ends are spherical grooves that match the rolling ball 5.
[0027] In this way, by using stacked drying racks, the overall height of the drying racks can be adjusted according to actual needs. Furthermore, during the process of adding and removing materials, the herbs can be added to the drying racks from a convenient position before the racks are stacked upwards, effectively avoiding the need for workers to stand at a height to retrieve the herbs due to excessive height of the drying racks. Moreover, the specific connection between the upper and lower drying racks uses a method where rolling balls 5 are embedded in sliding grooves 8, with the ends of the rolling balls 5 abutting against the sliding grooves 8, to provide horizontal restraint and prevent relative horizontal displacement of the drying racks after stacking, thus avoiding the possibility of the higher drying rack falling. Meanwhile, when installing the high-level drying rack, a ball bearing 5 can be inserted into the groove 8 first. Using the curved groove 8, the worker manipulates the drying rack to rotate along the inserted ball bearing 5. After rotating to a convenient position, another ball bearing 5 is inserted into another groove 8. Once two grooves 8 each have a ball bearing 5 inserted, the worker pushes the ball bearing 5 along the groove 8. After the ball bearing 5 abuts against the groove 8, the entire rectangular frame 1 is lifted, and the two remaining balls bearing 5 are inserted into the groove 8. The support legs 3 are then supported on the lower rectangular frame 1, completing the assembly of the upper drying rack. This method not only saves effort but also ensures accuracy when installing the high-level drying rack, preventing spillage of chemicals or the rack falling due to inaccurate assembly or excessive weight. Furthermore, the ball bearing 5 not only facilitates installation and positioning but also allows for easy movement of the entire drying rack, especially for the lowermost section.
[0028] Furthermore, to ensure good ventilation and improve drying efficiency, the drying board 2 is provided with several vertically penetrating ventilation holes 9, which are arranged in an array on the drying board 2.
[0029] Furthermore, the ventilation hole 9 is a circular hole.
[0030] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the transportation and installation of the drying rack by workers, the thickness of the drying board 2 is less than the thickness of the rectangular frame 1. The part of the rectangular frame 1 located on the lower side of the drying board 2 serves as the handling handle 10, and the part of the rectangular frame 1 located on the upper side of the drying board 2 serves as the material shielding part 11.
[0031] Meanwhile, to improve the ease of food installation and the overall lifespan of the drying rack, the rectangular frame 1, the drying board 2, the support legs 3, and the ball bearings 5 are all made of 304 stainless steel.
[0032] Although the present invention 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 invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
