Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying technology for Chinese herbal medicine slices, specifically a Chinese herbal medicine slice dryer. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese medicinal slices are processed medicinal materials according to the pharmaceutical theory and processing methods of Chinese medicine. They can be taken directly. In the processing, not only are the medicinal slices cut, but they also need to be dried, which requires the use of a drying machine.

[0003] Publication number CN220288064U discloses a traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece drying machine. It improves the connection between the loading box and the rotating frame by using a rotating connection to achieve rotary tumbling drying of the traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces inside the loading box. A fixed block is set at the connection between the movable frame and the rotating frame, and a rotating block is set in the center of the fixed block. The rotating block is connected to the movable frame via a movable rod, allowing it to rotate, and the rotation angle of the rotating block can be adjusted, eliminating the need for large-angle rotation. However, this patent still has the following problems in actual use:

[0004] By improving the connection between the loading box and the rotating frame to a rotary connection, the Chinese herbal medicine slices inside the loading box are tumbled and dried in a rotary manner. A fixed block is set at the connection between the movable frame and the rotating frame, and a rotating block is set in the center of the fixed block. The rotating block is connected to the movable frame through a movable rod and can rotate. The rotation angle of the rotating block can be adjusted, without having to rotate at a large angle.

Several heating tubes are symmetrically installed inside the drying chamber.

[0009] Also includes:

[0010] A cut-off assembly is provided on the other side surface of the housing near the top;

[0011] The cutting-off assembly includes a first motor housing that is fixedly connected to the housing.

[0012] The first motor housing contains a servo motor that is fixedly installed inside.

[0013] Preferably, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to one side surface of the servo motor output end through the housing, and a fixing sleeve is connected through the side surface of the connecting rod away from the servo motor. Fixing rods are symmetrically installed on both sides of the fixing sleeve, and the side surface of the fixing rod away from the fixing sleeve is fixedly connected to the housing.

[0014] Preferably, a rotating block is fixedly connected to the side surface of the connecting rod away from the fixed sleeve. A limiting groove is formed on the surface of the rotating block. A limiting rod is slidably connected inside the limiting groove. A connecting block is fixedly connected to the surface of the limiting rod. A cutting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the connecting block. The cutting plate is connected through the feed pipe.

[0015] Preferably, a fixing plate is provided below the connecting rod, and a groove is provided on one side of the top surface of the fixing plate. A slider is slidably connected inside the groove. The top surface of the slider is fixedly connected to the cutting plate.

[0018] Preferably, a discharge pipe is connected through one side of the bottom surface of the drying chamber, a valve is fixedly installed inside the discharge pipe, and the discharge pipe is connected through the chamber body.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This Chinese herbal medicine decoction piece dryer, by setting a cutting-off component, reduces the amount of dust overflowing through the feed pipe to a certain extent, thereby reducing the possibility of respiratory discomfort caused by long-term inhalation of Chinese herbal medicine dust by operators. The specific details are as follows:

[0020] 1. By setting up a cutting component, after the Chinese herbal medicine slices are poured into the chamber through the feeding pipe, the slices are guided into the drying chamber by the guide plate, thus starting the drying process. At this time, the servo motor is activated by the control switch, and the output of the servo motor drives the connecting rod to rotate. The rotation of the connecting rod drives the rotation of the rotating block, which in turn drives the rotation of the limiting groove. This causes the limiting rod located inside the limiting groove to slide adaptively. When the limiting rod moves to the rightmost side of the limiting groove, it drives the connecting block and the cutting plate to move to the rightmost side, so that the end of the cutting plate is just in contact with the inner wall of the diversion pipe. This can block the dust generated during the drying of the Chinese herbal medicine slices, thus preventing the dust from spreading into the air and causing respiratory discomfort to the operators due to long-term inhalation of Chinese herbal medicine dust.

[0021] 2. By configuring a drive motor, rotating rod, stirring plate, first pulley, belt, second pulley, and rotating rod, after the Chinese herbal medicine pieces enter the drying chamber, the heating element is activated by a control switch to heat and dry the pieces. Then, the drive motor is activated again, causing its output to rotate the rotating rod. This rotation of the rotating rod, in turn, rotates the stirring plate, which slowly stirs the Chinese herbal medicine pieces inside the drying chamber, ensuring uniform drying. Simultaneously, the rotation of the drive motor's output... The rotation of the first pulley drives the rotation of the belt, which in turn drives the rotation of the second pulley, which in turn drives the rotation of the rotating rod. The rotating rod is also equipped with a stirring plate. The interaction between the rotating rod and the stirring plate allows for slow stirring of the Chinese herbal medicine pieces inside the drying chamber, thereby improving the drying efficiency to some extent. Seals are installed at the points where the rotating rod penetrates the chamber to prevent dust from overflowing through these points. Attached Figure Description

[0028] 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.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a Chinese herbal medicine decoction piece drying machine, including a box body 1, with support columns 2 fixedly connected around the bottom surface of the box body 1; a control switch 3 is provided on one side of the box body 1 near the bottom; a feed pipe 4 is opened in the middle of the top surface of the box body 1; a second motor box 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom surface of the box body 1; a guide plate 7 is fixedly installed inside the box body 1; a drying chamber 8 is provided on the bottom surface of the guide plate 7; a fixing frame 9 is fixedly installed inside the drying chamber 8; a diversion pipe 10 is connected through the middle of the fixing frame 9; the top surface of the diversion pipe 10 is connected to the guide plate 7; and several heating tubes 11 are symmetrically installed inside the drying chamber 8; it also includes: a cutting component 5 provided on the other side of the box body 1 near the top; wherein the cutting component 5 includes a first motor box 501 fixedly connected to the box body 1; wherein a servo motor 502 is fixedly installed inside the first motor box 501, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, by setting the cut-off component 5, the amount of dust overflowing through the feed pipe 4 is reduced to a certain extent, thereby reducing the possibility of respiratory discomfort caused by long-term inhalation of Chinese medicine dust by operators. At the same time, an air outlet pipe is set on the other side of the surface near the top of the chamber 1. The air outlet pipe can remove the dust generated during the drying of Chinese medicine slices. Although this will cause the temperature inside the chamber 1 to drop, by reducing the suction power of the air outlet pipe, the air outlet pipe can remove the dust inside the chamber while ensuring that the temperature drop inside the chamber is limited, thereby reducing the impact of the air outlet pipe on the drying process of Chinese medicine slices.

[0030] A connecting rod 503 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the housing 1 through the output end of the servo motor 502. A fixing sleeve 504 is connected through the side surface of the connecting rod 503 away from the servo motor 502. Fixing rods 505 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the fixing sleeve 504. The side surface of the fixing rod 505 away from the fixing sleeve 504 is fixedly connected to the housing 1. A rotating block 506 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the connecting rod 503 away from the fixing sleeve 504. A limit groove 507 is formed on the surface of the rotating block 506. A limit rod 508 is slidably connected inside the limit groove 507. A connecting block 509 is fixedly connected to the surface of the positioning rod 508. A cutting plate 510 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the connecting block 509. The cutting plate 510 is connected through the feed pipe 4. A fixing plate 511 is located below the connecting rod 503. A groove 512 is opened on one side of the top surface of the fixing plate 511. A slider 513 is slidably connected inside the groove 512. The top surface of the slider 513 is fixedly connected to the cutting plate 510. One side surface of the fixing plate 511 is fixedly connected to the housing 1, and the other side surface of the fixing plate 511 is fixedly connected to the feed pipe 4. Figure 3 As shown, the servo motor 502 is started by the control switch 3, causing the output end of the servo motor 502 to drive the rotation of the connecting rod 503. The rotation of the connecting rod 503 causes the rotation of the rotating block 506. The rotation of the rotating block 506 causes the rotation of the limiting groove 507, thereby causing the limiting rod 508 located inside the limiting groove 507 to slide adaptively. When the limiting rod 508 moves to the rightmost side of the limiting groove 507, the limiting rod 508 causes the connecting block 509 and the cutting plate 510 to move to the rightmost side, so that the end of the cutting plate 510 just fits against the inner wall of the diversion pipe 10. This can play a certain role in blocking the dust generated during the drying of Chinese herbal medicine pieces, thereby preventing the dust from spreading into the air and causing respiratory discomfort to operators due to long-term inhalation of Chinese herbal medicine dust.

[0031] A drive motor 12 is fixedly installed inside the second motor housing 6. A rotating rod 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the output end of the drive motor 12, passing through the housing 1 and the drying chamber 8. Stirring plates 14 are fixedly connected to both sides of the rotating rod 13. A first pulley 15 is connected through the bottom side of the output end of the drive motor 12. A belt 16 is attached to the surface of the first pulley 15. A second pulley 17 is attached to the surface of the belt 16 away from the first pulley 15. A rotating rod 18 is connected through the middle of the second pulley 17. The rotating rod 18 is connected through the housing 1 and the drying chamber 8. A discharge pipe 19 is connected through one side of the bottom surface of the drying chamber 8. A valve 20 is fixedly installed inside the discharge pipe 19. The discharge pipe 19 is connected through the housing 1. Figure 2 , 4As shown in Figure 5, after the Chinese herbal medicine pieces enter the drying chamber 8, the heating tube 11 is activated by the control switch 3 to heat and dry the Chinese herbal medicine pieces. Then, the drive motor 12 is activated by the control switch 3, causing the output of the drive motor 12 to drive the rotation rod 13. The rotation of the rotation rod 13 drives the rotation of the stirring plate 14, allowing the stirring plate 14 to slowly stir one of the Chinese herbal medicine pieces inside the drying chamber 8, ensuring uniform drying. Simultaneously, the rotation of the output of the drive motor 12 drives the rotation of the first pulley 15, which in turn drives the belt 1... The rotation of 6, through the rotation of belt 16, drives the rotation of second pulley 17, which in turn drives the rotation of rotating rod 18. A stirring plate 14 is also installed on rotating rod 18. The cooperation between rotating rod 18 and stirring plate 14 allows for slow stirring of the Chinese herbal medicine pieces inside drying chamber 8, thereby improving the drying efficiency to a certain extent. Seals are installed at the points where rotating rod 13 and rotating rod 18 penetrate the chamber 1 to prevent dust from overflowing through these points. Heating tube 11 is existing technology and operates on the same principle.

[0032] Working principle: Before using this type of Chinese herbal medicine drying machine, it is necessary to check the overall condition of the device to ensure it can operate normally. Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, firstly, by setting the cutting component 5, after the Chinese herbal medicine slices are poured into the chamber 1 through the feed pipe 4, the Chinese herbal medicine slices are guided into the drying chamber 8 by the guide plate 7, thus starting the drying process. At this time, the servo motor 502 is started by the control switch 3, so that the output end of the servo motor 502 drives the connecting rod 503 to rotate. The rotation of the connecting rod 503 drives the rotation of the rotating block 506, and the rotation of the rotating block 506 drives the rotation of the limiting groove 507. This allows the limiting rod 508 located inside the limiting groove 507 to slide adaptively. When the limiting rod 508 moves to the rightmost side of the limiting groove 507, it causes the connecting block 509 and the cutting plate 510 to move to the rightmost side as well. This allows the end of the cutting plate 510 to fit against the inner wall of the diversion pipe 10, thus blocking the dust generated during the drying of Chinese herbal medicine pieces and preventing the dust from spreading into the air. This would prevent operators from experiencing respiratory discomfort due to long-term inhalation of Chinese herbal medicine dust.

[0033] Secondly, by setting up a drive motor 12, a rotating rod 13, a stirring plate 14, a first pulley 15, a belt 16, a second pulley 17, and a rotating rod 18, after the Chinese herbal medicine pieces enter the drying chamber 8, the heating tube 11 is activated by the control switch 3 to heat and dry the Chinese herbal medicine pieces. Then, the drive motor 12 is activated again by the control switch 3, causing the output of the drive motor 12 to drive the rotation of the rotating rod 13. The rotation of the rotating rod 13 drives the rotation of the stirring plate 14, allowing the stirring plate 14 to slowly stir the Chinese herbal medicine pieces inside one of the drying chambers 8, ensuring uniform drying. Simultaneously, the rotation of the output of the drive motor 12... The first pulley 15 can be driven to rotate, which in turn drives the belt 16 to rotate, which in turn drives the second pulley 17 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating rod 18 to rotate. The rotating rod 18 is also equipped with a stirring plate 14. The cooperation between the rotating rod 18 and the stirring plate 14 can slowly stir the Chinese herbal medicine pieces inside the drying chamber 8, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the Chinese herbal medicine pieces to a certain extent. At the same time, the places where the rotating rod 13 and the rotating rod 18 penetrate into the chamber 1 are equipped with seals to prevent dust from overflowing through the places where the rotating rod 13 and the rotating rod 18 penetrate into the chamber 1.

[0034] 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.
