Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing, specifically a drying mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Chinese medicinal herbs are the medicinal materials used in traditional Chinese medicine. They are all materials that can be obtained from the natural environment and can be roughly divided into plant, animal and mineral categories. The most common are plant-based Chinese medicinal herbs. At present, artificial cultivation technology is constantly improving and the scale of cultivation is constantly expanding, and the corresponding processing of Chinese medicinal herbs is also constantly developing.
[0003] In the processing of Chinese medicinal materials, the harvesting and air-drying of medicinal materials is the most basic process. Usually, the natural air-drying method is used, which is less efficient. Ordinary air-drying machines place the medicinal materials on a plate and send them into the air-drying machine, resulting in poor uniformity. Utility Model Content

The technical solution includes a drying box, a base, a hot air blower, air outlets, a heater, and heating columns. All of the above components are conventional equipment. The hot air blower provides hot air for drying, and the heating columns are commonly used resistance heating columns powered by the heater. Both the hot air blower and the heater are externally powered. The remaining parts include an internal mounting moving structure, a central boss, a toothed groove, a movable mounting plate, a rotating structure, a central rod, a fixed shaft, a rotating plate, a second rotating plate, a placement platform, and a placement platform holding structure. The base is distributed at the bottom of the drying box, and the hot air blower is installed on the front and rear sides. Several air outlets are distributed on the front and rear inner walls, and the air outlets are connected to the output pipes of the hot air blower. The heater is installed on the drying box to power the heating columns evenly distributed on the top surface inside the drying box. An internal mounting moving structure is set inside the drying box to install the movable mounting plate. The movable structure allows the position of the movable mounting plate to be moved to the right opening, facilitating the placement of Chinese medicinal herbs. A central boss is fixed to the bottom of the drying box, with toothed grooves distributed on its sides. A rotating structure is installed on the movable mounting plate, engaging with the toothed grooves for transmission. During the movement of the movable mounting plate, the rotating structure drives the central rod, which is mounted on it, to rotate. Several fixed shafts are integrally formed on both sides of the central rod. Two front rotating plates are rotatably mounted at both ends of the fixed shafts on the front side, and two front rotating plates are rotatably mounted at both ends of the fixed shafts on the rear side. The positions of the rotating plates are staggered. Placement platforms are fixed between the rotating plates at the same level. The outer ends of the placement platforms are maintained by a placement platform holding structure on the central rod, and the angle of the placement platforms can be adjusted to raise the outer ends of the platforms upwards by a certain distance, causing them to tilt and preventing them from falling.
[0005] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the internal installation movable structure includes an inner wall groove, a rotating screw, and a fixed shaft. The inner wall groove is opened at the bottom of the inner side wall of the drying box, and the right end of the inner wall groove is open. The fixed shaft is fixedly installed on the left inner wall of the inner wall groove on the front side. A motor is installed on the left side of the drying box. The output shaft of the motor extends into the inner wall groove on the rear side and is fixedly connected to the rotating screw at the end of its output shaft. Both ends of the movable mounting plate are fitted into the inner wall groove and are respectively fitted with the rotating screw and movablely mounted with the fixed shaft. The motor is powered by an external power supply. When the power supply is turned on, it drives the rotating screw to rotate, which enables the movable mounting plate to move along the fixed shaft.
[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the rotating structure includes a through hole, a column, a gear, and a circular plate. The movable mounting plate has a through hole at its center, the column passes through the through hole, the circular plate is fixed at its top, and the gear is fixed at its bottom. The outer wall of the column contacts the inner wall of the through hole, the gear meshes with the tooth groove, and the middle rod is fixed at the center of the upper surface of the circular plate. During the movement of the movable mounting plate, the gear and the tooth groove move relative to each other, thereby causing the gear to rotate under the meshing action, which in turn causes the middle rod fixed on the circular plate to rotate. When selecting the placement platform, its specifications are controlled so that it can rotate smoothly with the middle rod in the drying box without hitting the air outlet.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, several through slots are distributed on the placement platform.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the placement platform support structure includes a rope, a winding shaft, a top convex plate and an internal motor. The top convex plate is fixed to the top of the middle rod, and the internal motor is installed on the side of the top convex plate. The output shaft of the internal motor extends from the hole in the top convex plate to the other side, and the winding shaft is fixed at the end of the output shaft. The placement platforms of each layer are connected by ropes, and one end of the rope on the uppermost placement platform is fixed to the winding shaft.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: hot air is provided to the drying box through a hot air blower, air outlet, heater and heating column to accelerate the drying process. The movable mounting plate can be moved outward through the internal installation moving structure to facilitate the placement of Chinese medicinal materials on the placement platform. Then the forward and reverse rotation of the motor causes the movable mounting plate to move back and forth in the drying box. During the movement, the rotation structure causes the placement platform to rotate with the central rod, which improves the uniformity of the drying process. Attached Figure Description
