Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine pharmaceutical engineering, and in particular to a drying and sterilization box for Chinese herbal medicine slices. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), processed medicinal herbs, after specific processing, are a crucial component that can be directly used in clinical practice, and their quality is vital to the development of the entire TCM industry. The production of processed medicinal herbs involves a series of complex processes, including cleaning, water treatment, cutting, and processing, with drying being a critical and indispensable step. Its purpose is to effectively evaporate the moisture from the medicinal herbs under precisely controlled conditions, ensuring that their moisture content meets requirements. This inhibits biochemical reactions and the growth and reproduction of microorganisms such as mold, thus maintaining the high quality of the processed medicinal herbs to the greatest extent possible.

[0003] Existing Chinese herbal medicine drying and sterilization chambers primarily utilize heat transfer and radiation, establishing a rigorous operating system. Heating elements convert electrical energy or other forms of energy into heat energy. Driven by a circulating fan, hot air circulates orderly within the chamber. This hot air, carrying energy, evenly penetrates every tiny pore of the Chinese herbal medicine pieces, causing the moisture within to absorb heat and transform into water vapor, which is then systematically discharged through the dehumidification system.

[0004] Existing drying equipment relies on hot air circulation systems for dehumidification. However, as the machine operates for longer periods, dust and debris accumulate on the filters of the hot air circulation system, gradually reducing its efficiency. This results in ineffective dehumidification and, over time, significantly lower machine efficiency. Furthermore, most drying equipment racks are built-in, requiring workers to reach inside the chamber to place or retrieve dried herbs. The limited internal space makes this operation inconvenient. Therefore, a Chinese herbal medicine drying and sterilization chamber is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content
