[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-2 A drying device for raw materials used in the extraction of traditional Chinese medicine includes a drying chamber 1. Several air inlet pipes 2 are provided on the left side of the drying chamber 1, and the air inlet pipes 2 are connected to an external dry heat gas generator. An exhaust pipe 3 is provided on the top of the drying chamber 1. Several drying modules are provided inside the drying chamber 1. Each drying module includes a drying drum 4, which is rotatably disposed inside the drying chamber 1. Several ventilation holes 5 are provided on the drying drum 4. A pusher plate 6 is movably disposed inside the drying drum 4. A pusher cylinder 7 is horizontally disposed on the rear side of the drying chamber 1 opposite to the pusher plate 6.
