AI Technical Summary
Existing Chinese medicine granule drying equipment suffers from problems such as the granules easily sticking together or piling up, making it difficult for hot air to penetrate the material layer, resulting in uneven drying effect, low cooling efficiency, and cumbersome operation.
The system uses a combination of a cam and a limiting frame, and utilizes the rebound pull of a tension spring to make the placement frame vibrate up and down. The forward and backward sliding of the placement frame is achieved through the meshing of a driving bevel gear and a driven bevel gear. Combined with the cold air circulation of the cooling fan, the system achieves uniform drying and rapid cooling of the Chinese medicine granules.
This method achieves uniform drying of Chinese medicine granules, improves the penetration efficiency of hot air, shortens drying time, reduces manual operation, and ensures the consistency of granule color and the stability of components.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine granule technology, and in particular to a device for uniformly drying traditional Chinese medicine granules. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine granules are solid dosage forms made from traditional Chinese medicines using modern technology. The preparation process mainly includes extraction, concentration, drying, and granulation. The drying process utilizes modern heat pump technology and air circulation principles to convert environmental heat energy into efficient drying heat energy, thereby drying the Chinese medicine granules.
[0003] When using existing Chinese medicine granule drying equipment, the granules tend to stick together or pile up, resulting in a small area of the granules exposed to hot air. Moreover, the hot air does not easily penetrate the material layer, leading to an unsatisfactory drying effect. In addition, after drying, the material needs to be allowed to cool naturally before it can be manually removed from the heating cabinet, which is a cumbersome process and has a slow cooling efficiency, affecting the quality and color of the granules. Utility Model Content
