Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, specifically a device for drying and storing medicinal materials used in the production and processing of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. Background Technology

[0002] Prepared medicinal herbs are Chinese medicinal materials that have undergone processing according to traditional Chinese medicine theories and methods, and can be directly used in clinical practice. In the processing of prepared medicinal herbs, sun-drying is a crucial step to remove excess moisture, prevent mold, insect infestation, and the decomposition and destruction of active ingredients, and facilitate storage and further processing. Except for a small number of herbs that need to be used fresh, most Chinese medicinal materials require sun-drying.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent specification CN207351116U discloses a traditional Chinese medicine drying device, including a bracket, a support rod mounted on the bracket, an angle adjustment rod, and a drying tray fixing mechanism rotatably mounted on the support rod. Angle positioning holes are provided on the mounting plate, allowing the angle to be adjusted as needed during drying. The device is then fixed to the bracket by the angle adjustment rod to meet different angle requirements, ensuring the drying tray receives direct sunlight, thus improving drying efficiency and effect. A scraper slides back and forth along a groove, ensuring even distribution of the medicinal herbs for easy drying. However, the herbs need to be constantly turned during drying, resulting in repetitive drying. This device can only achieve multi-angle drying and still requires manual turning of the herbs, making it impractical. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a drying and storage device for Chinese herbal medicines in the production and processing of prepared slices, addressing the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a medicinal material drying and storage device for the production and processing of Chinese herbal medicine slices, including a box body, a shell body provided on the box body, an electric push rod provided inside the box body, a flipping mechanism provided at the output end of the electric push rod, the flipping mechanism including a rectangular rod, a fixed plate and a circular plate, a sliding hole provided on the rectangular rod, a slider slidably connected inside the sliding hole, the fixed plate being provided at the bottom of the shell body, the circular plate being provided on one side of the fixed plate, and the output shaft of a motor being fixedly connected at the bottom of the circular plate at a non-center position.

[0006] Preferably, the output end of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to an L-shaped plate, the top of the L-shaped plate is fixedly connected to a connecting plate, the top of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rectangular rod, the motor is fixedly installed inside the L-shaped plate, the motor can drive the circular plate to move eccentrically, and the electric push rod can drive the housing to move in and out of the box.

[0007] Preferably, a spring is provided inside the sliding hole, and the two ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slider and the inner wall of the sliding hole, respectively. The top of the fixing plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing, and the bottom of the housing is slidably connected to the top of the rectangular rod. The housing can be reset by setting the spring.

[0008] Preferably, a connecting block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider, and a roller is provided on the top of the connecting block. The roller is in rolling connection with the bottom of the rectangular rod. The roller and connecting block are provided to improve the smoothness of the housing sliding connection on the top of the rectangular rod.

[0009] Preferably, the inner wall of the housing is provided with a sliding groove, and the outer wall of the housing is fixedly connected with a sliding strip. The sliding strip is slidably connected inside the sliding groove. The sliding strip and the sliding groove are provided to improve the stability of the housing sliding.

[0011] The present invention adopts the above technical solution, which can bring the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. This herbal drying and storage device for the production and processing of Chinese herbal medicine slices involves laying the Chinese herbal medicine slices inside the shell for drying. When it is necessary to turn them over, the motor is started to drive the circular plate to move eccentrically. The circular plate continuously presses against the fixed plate, and the fixed plate slides left and right on the top of the rectangular rod with the cooperation of springs and sliders, which causes the Chinese herbal medicine slices inside the shell to vibrate, thereby achieving the purpose of even turning over without manual turning.

[0013] 2. This herbal drying and storage device for the production and processing of Chinese herbal medicine slices can retract the shell into the box by activating the electric push rod to achieve the purpose of storage. By setting a filter screen, Chinese herbal medicine slices can be dried on it. The bottom box can catch fallen impurities and dust, making it easy to clean. Attached Figure Description
