Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of drying equipment technology, and in particular relates to a drying device for processing Chinese medicinal materials. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbs are natural medicines and their processed products used to prevent and treat diseases under the guidance of TCM theory. They include plant-based medicines, animal-based medicines, and mineral-based medicines. Drying TCM herbs is done to reduce their moisture content, prevent spoilage such as mold and insect infestation during storage, facilitate transportation and preservation, and to a certain extent optimize the medicinal properties of the herbs, reduce the loss of effective components, and ensure the stability of the quality and efficacy of the herbs.
[0003] However, existing drying equipment has large drying dead zones inside the drying chamber. Some Chinese medicinal materials are not dried sufficiently because they are in these dead zones, resulting in uneven drying, which affects the quality and efficacy of the medicinal materials. It can also cause problems such as mold and insect infestation due to residual moisture. Utility Model Content

Placement cylinders are rotatably connected to the outer walls of each of the several rotating shafts 2. There are four rotating shafts 2 and four placement cylinders. The four rotating shafts 2 and four placement cylinders are arranged in a circular array around the rotating shaft 1.
[0011] Furthermore, the flipping assembly includes several flipping rods fixedly connected to the outer walls of several rotating shafts, several flipping rods located in several placement cylinders, and several drying ovens equipped with self-rotating components; wherein, four flipping rods are provided on the outer wall of each rotating shaft, and every four flipping rods are located in a placement cylinder.
[0012] Furthermore, the disturbance component includes a lid disposed above the drying chamber, a rotating shaft three is rotatably connected to the inner top wall of the lid, and a fan is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft three; wherein the rotating shaft three is disposed at the central axis of the lid.

[0016] 1. By setting up a rotating part, the motor can be started at the same time as the heating coil is turned on, so that it drives the cross support frame to rotate through the first rotating shaft. The cross support frame will drive the placement cylinder to revolve through the second rotating shaft, thereby driving the Chinese medicinal materials to rotate. During this process, due to the setting of the gear ring and gear, the second rotating shaft will drive the flipping rod to rotate, turning the Chinese medicinal materials in the placement cylinder. This allows the Chinese medicinal materials to rotate and turn continuously in the drying box, effectively eliminating drying dead corners, making the medicinal materials dry more evenly, reducing moisture residue, reducing the risk of mold and insect infestation, improving the drying quality and efficacy of the medicinal materials, while improving drying efficiency and reducing energy consumption and processing costs.
[0017] 2. By setting up a disturbance part, when the lid is closed, the cross-shaped limiting block on the first rotating shaft will insert into the cross-shaped limiting groove on the third rotating shaft. Therefore, when the first rotating shaft rotates, the third rotating shaft will also rotate, driving the fan to rotate, thereby disturbing the hot air in the drying chamber. This makes the hot air flow more even, enhances the heat exchange efficiency, further eliminates drying dead corners, makes the Chinese medicinal materials dry more evenly, improves the drying quality and efficiency, and ensures the stability of the drying effect of the medicinal materials.
