Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Codonopsis pilosula drying technology, and in particular to a Codonopsis pilosula drying device. Background Technology
[0002] In the processing of Codonopsis pilosula, sun-drying is a crucial step, as it steadily and evenly reduces the moisture content. Freshly harvested Codonopsis pilosula is crisp and tender with extremely high moisture content, making it prone to rotting if not processed promptly. Sun-drying through natural sunlight and air circulation allows moisture to evaporate slowly from the inside out, preventing surface hardening, internal moisture lock-in, or cracking caused by rapid drying at high temperatures. This ensures even drying and a plump appearance. Secondly, this process is key to the "conversion" and "concentration" of medicinal components. Under suitable sunlight and diurnal temperature variations, some of the starch and other substances inside Codonopsis pilosula are converted into sugars, giving it a sweeter taste; however, it is necessary to turn the Codonopsis pilosula during the sun-drying process.
[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent publication number CN109556362B, which discloses a drying device for Codonopsis pilosula, including a drying rack, a drying board, and a reflective device. The drying board is mesh-like and installed on the drying rack. The reflective device includes a bottom reflector and a vertical reflector. The bottom reflector is located below the drying board, and the vertical reflector is located on one side of the drying board. The vertical reflector can rotate and move left and right.
[0004] To address the problem that while the aforementioned technologies use reflection to change the direction of irradiation, the direction of light irradiation remains relatively uniform after reflection, resulting in areas that cannot be directly irradiated and uneven drying, a new drying device for Codonopsis pilosula is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a Codonopsis pilosula drying device to solve or alleviate the technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provide a beneficial alternative.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model embodiment is implemented as follows: a Codonopsis pilosula drying device includes a support frame, a pressure adjustment plate is slidably connected above the support frame, a flipping plate is rotatably connected above the pressure adjustment plate, a bottom drying plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame, a plurality of flipping components are fixedly connected to the inner sides of the bottom drying plate and the flipping plate respectively, and side support plates are fixedly connected around the bottom drying plate.
[0007] In some embodiments, the flipping assembly includes a flipping bracket, a timing pulley, and a timing belt. The timing pulley is rotatably connected to the flipping bracket, and the timing belt is driven by the timing pulley. Multiple flipping brackets are respectively fixedly connected to the inner side of the bottom drying board or the flipping board.
[0008] In some embodiments, a spring is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame and above the compression adjustment plate, and a fixed knob is rotatably connected to one side of the compression adjustment plate.
[0009] In some embodiments, the plurality of synchronous pulleys are fixedly connected by synchronous shafts, an upper flipping motor is fixedly connected to one side of the flipping plate, a lower flipping motor is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom drying plate, and one end of the synchronous shafts on the upper and lower sides is fixedly connected to the power output end of the upper flipping motor or the lower flipping motor, respectively.
[0010] In some embodiments, a plurality of semi-circular bosses are fixedly connected to the outer side of the synchronization belt.
[0011] In some embodiments, the support frame has multiple positioning slots on its upper surface, and an installation rod is inserted into the inner side of the positioning slot.
[0012] In some embodiments, a shielding bracket is fixedly connected above the plurality of mounting rods, and a plurality of flip-up baffles are rotatably connected to the inner side of the shielding bracket.
[0013] In some embodiments, a sprocket set is fixedly connected to one side of the flip baffle, and multiple sprocket sets are connected to each other by a chain for transmission. An adjustment motor is fixedly connected to one side of the shielding bracket, and the power output end of the adjustment motor is fixedly connected to a chain on one side.
[0014] The present invention has the following advantages due to the adoption of the above technical solution:
[0015] 1. A Codonopsis pilosula drying device, which achieves uniform drying of Codonopsis pilosula through an upper and lower set flipping component. During drying, Codonopsis pilosula is placed on the bottom drying plate, and the upper flipping plate is pressed down by the action of a spring, so that the upper and lower synchronous belts clamp the Codonopsis pilosula. When flipping, the upper and lower motors drive the synchronous belts to rotate in opposite directions, so that the Codonopsis pilosula rotates smoothly, so that all sides are evenly exposed to light and ventilation. The synchronous belt is made of silicone material and has a semi-circular protrusion, which not only improves the friction flipping effect, but also avoids squeezing and damaging the medicinal material, thereby improving the drying quality and efficiency.
[0016] 2. A drying device for Codonopsis pilosula, which, through an adjustable shading structure, can flexibly adjust the amount of light to adapt to different weather conditions. The shading bracket is fixed above the support frame by a mounting rod, and its flip-up baffle is linked by a sprocket assembly and a chain. The angle is uniformly controlled by adjusting the motor, and the opening and closing degree of the baffle can be adjusted according to the actual light intensity to control the amount of light entering, avoiding excessive sun exposure or insufficient light, ensuring that Codonopsis pilosula dries evenly under suitable conditions, and improving the quality of the finished product.

[0028] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered exemplary in nature and not restrictive.
[0029] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] Example 1: As Figure 1-7 As shown, a Codonopsis pilosula drying device includes a support frame 1, a compression adjustment plate 10 slidably connected above the support frame 1, a flipping plate 12 rotatably connected above the compression adjustment plate 10, a bottom drying plate 16 fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 1, and multiple turning components 14 fixedly connected to the inner sides of the bottom drying plate 16 and the flipping plate 12 respectively. Side support plates 17 are fixedly connected around the bottom drying plate 16. The turning component 14 includes a turning bracket 19, a synchronous wheel 20, and a synchronous belt 21. The synchronous wheel 20 is rotatably connected to the turning bracket 19, and the synchronous belt 21 is drively connected to the synchronous wheel 20. Multiple turning brackets 19 are fixedly connected to the inner sides of the bottom drying plate 16 or the flipping plate 12 respectively.
[0031] The bottom drying plate 16 has multiple openings for ventilation from the bottom. When drying, Codonopsis pilosula is placed on the bottom drying plate 16, and then the flipping plate 12 presses it down from above, so that the synchronous belts 21 in the flipping components 14 on the upper and lower sides press the sides of Codonopsis pilosula. The preferred synchronous belt 21 can be a model made of silicone, narrow and with openings.
[0032] When it is necessary to turn the Codonopsis pilosula, the synchronous wheel 20 in the upper and lower turning components 14 drives the synchronous belt 21 to rotate in opposite directions. This can stably drive the Codonopsis pilosula to rotate, achieving more even drying. At the same time, the use of silicone material for the synchronous belt 21 can reduce compression and prevent damage to the Codonopsis pilosula.
[0033] In this embodiment, a spring 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 1 and the top of the compression adjustment plate 10. A fixing knob 11 is rotatably connected to one side of the compression adjustment plate 10. The fixing knob 11 has a slot on one side. When the flip plate 12 is rotated to the horizontal, the fixing knob 11 rotates to the top of the flip plate 12 to fix the flip plate 12. The spring 9 can squeeze the adjustment plate 10 downward to prevent the flipping component 14 above from spinning idly and failing to effectively drive the Codonopsis pilosula to rotate.
[0034] In this embodiment, the multiple synchronous wheels 20 are fixedly connected by synchronous shafts 15. An upper flipping motor 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the flipping plate 12, and a lower flipping motor 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom drying plate 16. One end of the synchronous shafts 15 on the upper and lower sides is fixedly connected to the power output end of the upper flipping motor 13 or the lower flipping motor 18, respectively. When the upper flipping motor 13 and the lower flipping motor 18 are started, they rotate simultaneously in opposite directions at the same speed.
[0035] In this embodiment, a plurality of semi-circular bosses 22 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the timing belt 21. The semi-circular bosses 22 are made of the same material as the timing belt 21, and the semi-circular bosses 22 can improve the flipping effect.
[0036] In this embodiment: the bottom drying plate 16 has multiple openings for ventilation from the bottom. When drying, Codonopsis pilosula is placed on the bottom drying plate 16, and then the flipping plate 12 presses it down from above, so that the synchronous belts 21 in the flipping components 14 on the upper and lower sides press the sides of Codonopsis pilosula. Preferably, the synchronous belts 21 can be made of silicone, are narrow and have openings.
[0037] When it is necessary to turn the Codonopsis pilosula, the synchronous wheel 20 in the upper and lower turning components 14 drives the synchronous belt 21 to rotate in opposite directions. This can stably drive the Codonopsis pilosula to rotate, achieving more even drying. At the same time, the use of silicone material for the synchronous belt 21 can reduce compression and prevent damage to the Codonopsis pilosula.
[0038] Spring 9 can press the adjusting plate 10 downward to prevent the flipping component 14 above from spinning idly and failing to effectively drive the Codonopsis pilosula to rotate. The semi-circular boss 22 is made of the same material as the timing belt 21, and the semi-circular boss 22 can improve the flipping effect.
[0039] Example 2: A Codonopsis pilosula drying device. This example is an improvement on Example 1, as follows: Figure 1-7 As shown,
[0040] In this embodiment, a plurality of positioning slots 8 are opened on the upper part of the support frame 1, and an installation rod 2 is inserted into the inner side of the positioning slot 8;
[0041] A shielding bracket 3 is fixedly connected above the multiple mounting rods 2, and multiple flip-up baffles 4 are rotatably connected to the inner side of the shielding bracket 3;
[0042] A sprocket set 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the flip baffle 4. Multiple sprocket sets 5 are connected to each other by a chain 6. An adjusting motor 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the shielding bracket 3. The power output end of the adjusting motor 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the chain 6.
[0043] After the flip plate 12 is installed, the shielding bracket 3 is fixed above the support frame 1 by the mounting rod 2. Then, the angle of the flip plate 4 can be adjusted by adjusting the motor 7 to drive multiple sprocket groups 5 to rotate, thereby realizing the function of changing the amount of light entering under different weather conditions and making the drying more even.
[0044] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various variations or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these should all be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
