AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for drying Chinese medicinal herbs fail to effectively differentiate between herbs, resulting in the upper layer drying quickly while the lower layer needs to be manually turned over, leading to long drying times and low efficiency.
Design a drying rack comprising a main frame, support columns, tall columns, drying tray trays, drying trays, clamping columns, clamping plates, short columns, column connecting rods, drying boxes, rotating shafts, box covers, locking bolts, drying frames, lower clamping blocks, drying barrels, and other components. By combining different drying boxes and drying barrels, medicinal materials can be dried according to their size and texture. The drying boxes and frames can be flipped to improve efficiency.
This allows for the sorting and drying of medicinal materials according to their size and texture, reducing the number of times they need to be manually turned over and improving drying efficiency.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, specifically a drying rack. Background Technology
[0002] Chinese medicinal herbs usually need to be dried after washing. The common method is to spread the herbs flat in a drying tray and stack them on a rack. However, this method does not separate the herbs, which can easily lead to the herbs being piled up. The herbs on the top layer dry faster, while the herbs on the bottom layer need to be turned over manually to continue drying, resulting in a long drying time and low efficiency.

[0015] Example 1
[0016] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, this utility model discloses a drying rack, including a main frame 1, support columns 2, tall columns 3, drying tray supports 4, drying trays 5, clamping columns 6, clamping plates 7, short columns 8, column connecting rods 9, drying boxes 10, rotating shafts 11, box covers 12, locking bolts 13, drying frames 14, lower clamping blocks 15, drying buckets 16, and upper clamping blocks 17. The main frame 1 is a rectangular frame, with support columns 2 fixedly installed at the four corners of its lower side, and four tall columns 3 vertically fixedly installed in a rectangle in the center of its upper side, and short columns 8 fixedly installed at the four corners of its upper side. Two sets of drying tray supports 4 are arranged across the main frame 1 on the inner side of the tall columns 3. The drying trays 5 are inserted into the tall columns 3 and placed on the drying tray supports 4. Two sets of clamping columns 6 are arranged on the front side of the tall columns 3 corresponding to the drying tray supports 4. The clamping plates 7 have two... The end is clamped on the clamping post 6 and pressed against the front and rear sides of the drying tray plate 4; the column connecting rod 9 is fixedly installed between the short column 8 and the tall column 3; the drying frame 14 is a rectangular frame, and the drying frame 14 and the drying box 10 are fixedly installed with rotating shafts 11 on both the front and rear sides. The other end of the rotating shaft 11 is equipped with bearings and is respectively installed on the column connecting rods 9 on the left and right sides of the tall column 3; the box cover 12 is fitted with a hinge on one side and installed on the drying box 10, and the other end is fitted with a buckle to fix it to the drying box 10; the locking bolt 13 passes through the column connecting rod 9 and presses on the drying box 10 and the drying frame 14; several lower clamping blocks 15 are installed at equal intervals on the front and rear ends of the lower side of the drying frame 14; the two ends of the drying bucket 16 are clamped into the lower clamping blocks 15; the upper clamping block 17 presses down on the drying bucket 16 from the top and is fastened to the lower clamping blocks 15. The left and right sides of the drying tray 5 are attached to the tall pillar 3, and the front and back sides are flush with the tall pillar 3. The drying tray 5 can be fixed with a clamp to prevent it from shifting. The drying barrel 16 is the same length as the drying box 10. It is open at both ends. When the lower clamp 15 and the upper clamp 17 are fastened together, the drying barrel 16 is sealed. Long strips of medicinal materials are placed inside the drying barrel 16. After the medicinal materials are placed, the drying barrel 16 is inserted into the lower clamp 15 and then the upper clamp 17 is fastened to complete the fixation.
[0017] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using this utility model, medicinal materials can be sorted according to their hardness and size for drying. Large and thick medicinal materials are placed directly in the drying tray 5 for drying, with clamps 7 securing the tray from both sides to prevent displacement. Softer medicinal materials can be laid flat on the stainless steel mesh inside the drying box. After filling the box, another stainless steel mesh is used to press the materials down, preventing them from turning over naturally. Finally, the box lid 12 is closed and the buckles are locked for drying. Long, strip-shaped medicinal materials can be placed in the drying bucket 16 for drying. After drying for a period of time, the locking bolts 13 can be loosened, and the drying box 10 and drying frame 14 can be manually flipped. After flipping, the locking bolts 13 are tightened to allow the reverse side of the medicinal materials to be dried.
