[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the outer wall of the drying limiting rod is movably connected to the inner wall of the first insertion hole, and the outer wall of the movable limiting rod is movably connected to the inner wall of the second insertion hole.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the upper surfaces of both the drying limiting rod and the drying positioning rod abut against the bottom surface of the drying board.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the upper surface of the movable limiting rod abuts against the bottom surface of the rotating plate.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a limiting block is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating plate away from the supporting rotating rod, and the limiting block is movably connected to the outer wall of the wheel hub.

[0021] 2. This utility model uses a rotating plate and a limiting block to automatically engage with the gap between the wheel hub and the ground by gravity after the moving limiting rod is disengaged. This prevents the device from moving without manual operation, thus improving the convenience and safety of use.

[0022] 3.

[0032] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] Reference Figure 1-6 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a drying device for processing Chinese herbal medicine slices, including a drying board;

[0037] The support rod is rotatably connected to the bottom of the drying board via a bearing seat;

[0038] Two sets of positioning horizontal plates are fixedly connected to both ends of the supporting rotating rod;

[0039] Limiting component one and limiting component two are set on the sides of the two sets of positioning horizontal plates. One end of the positioning horizontal plate is fixedly connected to a wheel hub. Both limiting component one and limiting component two are used to limit the drying board and the wheel hub.

[0040] The first limiting component includes a first limiting handle and a rotating plate rotatably connected to one end of a supporting rotating rod. The two ends of the first limiting handle are respectively fixedly connected to a drying limiting rod and a moving limiting rod. The second limiting component includes a second limiting handle. The two ends of the second limiting handle are respectively fixedly connected to a drying positioning rod and the moving limiting rod. The outer wall of the positioning horizontal plate is provided with a first insertion hole and a second insertion hole that mate with the drying limiting rod and the moving limiting rod. The bottom surface of the drying limiting rod is fixedly connected to a limiting protrusion, and the bottom surface of the drying positioning rod near one end is fixedly connected to the limiting protrusion.

[0041] Specifically, by using the cooperation of limiting component one and limiting component two, the drying limiting rod, the drying positioning rod and the insertion hole one are connected, and the moving limiting rod and the insertion hole two are connected, the drying board can be fixed at multiple angles, so as to prevent the slices from falling off due to shaking during the drying process.

[0042] Example

[0043] The second embodiment of this utility model provides a technical solution: the outer wall of the drying limiting rod is movably connected to the inner wall of the first insertion hole, and the outer wall of the movable limiting rod is movably connected to the inner wall of the second insertion hole.

[0044] The upper surfaces of both the drying limit rod and the drying positioning rod are in contact with the bottom surface of the drying board.

[0045] The upper surface of the movable limiting rod abuts against the bottom surface of the rotating plate.

[0046] The end of the rotating plate away from the supporting rotating rod is fixedly connected to a limit block, which is movably connected to the outer wall of the hub.

[0047] The outer wall of the hub is rotatably fitted with an external collar.

[0048] Specifically, after the rotating plate 7 and the limiting block 8 are disengaged from the moving limiting rod 14, they automatically engage with the gap between the hub 2 and the ground by gravity, preventing the device from moving without manual operation, thus improving the convenience and safety of use. The hub 2 and the external collar 17 allow the device to move quickly, while the linkage structure of the limiting components can be quickly fixed when needed, adapting to the drying needs of different sites.

[0049] Example 3

[0050] The second embodiment of this utility model provides a technical solution: the connection between the bearing seat and the drying board 1 and the supporting rotating rod 6 requires the use of bearings (such as deep groove ball bearings) to achieve flexible rotation, while the bearing seat is fixed by bolts or pins to prevent it from falling off;

[0051] Fixing the positioning plate 3 and the supporting rotating rod 6: Welding or high-strength bolts can be used to connect them to ensure that they are fixed vertically and to prevent loosening under stress;

[0052] Rotational connection between rotating plate 7 and supporting rotating rod 6: A pin or rotating shaft needs to be provided, along with a limit snap ring, to prevent axial movement of rotating plate 7;

[0053] Rotational connection between the outer collar 17 and the hub 2: An annular groove can be provided on the outer wall of the hub 2, with a built-in ball or needle roller bearing, so that the outer collar 17 rotates more smoothly.

[0054] Drying board 1: It can be made of corrosion-resistant and UV-resistant stainless steel or aluminum alloy to avoid metal oxidation contamination of Chinese herbal medicine slices, while ensuring strength and durability;

[0055] Support rod 6 and positioning cross plate 3: High-strength steel (such as Q235) must be selected to ensure load-bearing capacity and prevent deformation after long-term use;

[0056] Wheel hub 2 and outer collar 17: made of wear-resistant rubber or engineering plastic (such as polyoxymethylene) to reduce moving noise and ground wear, while enhancing anti-slip performance;

[0057] Limiting protrusion 16: It is recommended to use a metal with high hardness (such as copper or stainless steel) to avoid long-term insertion wear leading to limit failure.

[0058] Working principle:

[0059] Initial positioning: The drying board 1 is rotatably connected to the supporting rotating rod 6 via a bearing seat. The positioning cross plate 3 is fixed to both ends of the supporting rotating rod 6, and the wheel hub 2 is installed at one end of the positioning cross plate 3. Positioning components 1 (4) and 2 (5) limit the positions of the drying board 1 and wheel hub 2 via insertion holes 11 and 12, respectively.

[0060] The limiter 9 drives the drying limiter 13 to insert into the first insertion hole 11, and the limiter protrusion 16 on its bottom surface abuts against the positioning horizontal plate 3. At the same time, the limiter 14 moves to insert into the second insertion hole 12, and the upper surface abuts against the rotating plate 7, restricting the rotation of the rotating plate 7.

[0061] The limiter 10 drives the drying positioning rod 15 to insert into the insertion hole 11. The bottom limiting protrusion 16 also abuts against the positioning horizontal plate 3. The moving limiter 14 cooperates with the rotating plate 7 to keep the drying plate 1 in a horizontal drying state. The hub 2 can rotate freely to move the device.

[0062] Movement and Limit Switching: When the first limit handle 9 and the second limit handle 10 are pulled outward, the movement limit rod 14 disengages from the second insertion hole 12, releasing the restriction on the rotating plate 7. At this time, the rotating plate 7 drives the limit block 8 to rotate under the action of gravity, which gets into the gap between the hub 2 and the ground, preventing the hub 2 from rotating and fixing the device.

[0063] Tilting of Chinese herbal medicine slices: Since the length of the drying limiting rod 13 is greater than that of the drying positioning rod 15, when pulled outward by the same distance, the drying positioning rod 15 first disengages from the limiting position on the drying board 1, while the drying limiting rod 13 remains inserted into the insertion hole 11. At this time, the drying board 1 can only be flipped in the direction parallel to the direction of the drying positioning rod 15, causing the Chinese herbal medicine slices to tilt off the board for easy and rapid collection.

[0064] Device transfer: The outer collar 17 sleeved on the outer wall of the hub 2 can rotate flexibly, and together with the hub 2, the device can be quickly pushed when it needs to be moved.

[0065] Drying of Chinese herbal medicine slices: When the limiting handle 19 and the limiting handle 210 are pulled outward to release the limiting rod 14 from the rotating plate 7, the drying limiting rod 13 and the drying positioning rod 15 still support and limit the drying plate 1, while the limiting block 8 can limit the hub 2 at this time, preventing it from moving.

[0066] In summary: The length difference design between the drying limiting rod 13 and the drying positioning rod 15 allows the drying board 1 to rotate only in a specific direction, precisely controlling the tilting direction of the beverage slices, preventing them from scattering, and improving collection efficiency. Through the cooperation of limiting component 1 4 and limiting component 2 5, the insertion of the drying limiting rod 13, the drying positioning rod 15 and the insertion hole 11, and the cooperation of the moving limiting rod 14 and the insertion hole 2 12, the drying board 1 can be fixed at multiple angles, preventing the beverage slices from falling due to shaking during the drying process.
