Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of mugwort processing equipment, specifically to a drying device for Artemisia argyi leaves. Background Technology
[0002] Qichun mugwort is a herbaceous plant that grows for many years in southeastern Hubei Province. It is widely distributed in Qichun County, along the edges of fields near water and in sunny locations, and also grows in small quantities on hillsides. It is generally used in the "moxibustion" technique of acupuncture. "Acupuncture" involves inserting needles into acupoints, while "moxibustion" involves burning mugwort to fumigate and heat acupoints. While the heat on acupoints certainly provides stimulation, not just any paper or grass can be used for "moxibustion." The aroma of Qichun mugwort must also play a role. In the processing of Qichun mugwort, drying is a crucial step.
[0003] However, existing methods for drying Artemisia argyi leaves mostly rely on natural sun-drying, which is greatly affected by the weather, takes a long time, and is prone to contamination by dust and impurities, leading to a decline in the quality of Artemisia argyi leaves. While some drying equipment can improve drying efficiency to a certain extent, it generally suffers from uneven drying, affecting the medicinal effects of Artemisia argyi leaves. Therefore, we propose an Artemisia argyi leaf drying device. Utility Model Content
