Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of equipment for processing Chinese medicinal materials, specifically a processing device for Polygonatum sibiricum. Background Technology
[0002] The traditional processing method for Polygonatum involves nine steaming and nine sun-drying steps. In the sun-drying stage, the usual procedure is to first remove the Polygonatum from the steaming trays in the steamer and then pour it onto the drying boards in the drying area. It is then sun-dried and air-dried. During this process, since the underside of the Polygonatum is in direct contact with the drying board, it needs to be manually turned over to ensure that the Polygonatum is fully dried. In practice, it has been found that it is difficult to ensure that most of the Polygonatum on the drying board is turned upside down by hand, especially for Polygonatum that has been sliced and steamed. Manual turning can easily cause the slices to pile up. Turning them over one by one is time-consuming and laborious, and can easily cause manual fatigue, which also seriously affects the efficiency and effect of sun-drying. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model provides a processing device for Polygonatum sibiricum.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A processing device for Polygonatum sibiricum includes two legs arranged opposite each other, each leg having a rotating shaft laterally rotatably connected to it. A first drying plate is laterally fixed between the two rotating shafts, and a second drying plate is spaced above the first drying plate. The two sides of the second drying plate are detachably connected to the two rotating shafts. Each drying plate includes a drying section and a connecting section on its outer side that connects to the rotating shaft. The drying section is formed by multiple crisscrossing support bars that enclose multiple ventilation chambers. The distance between the two drying plates is adjustable, and each leg has a locking element with its inner end able to abut against the corresponding rotating shaft.
[0006] Furthermore, the intersection points of the supports of the two drying boards are staggered.
[0007] As one implementation method, the edge of the drying section is provided with a ring-shaped baffle, and the baffles of the two drying boards are vertically interlocked.
[0008] Specifically, the rotating shaft includes a first shaft segment and a second shaft segment that are rotatably connected to the support leg. The second shaft segment includes an upper shaft segment and a lower shaft segment. One end of the lower shaft segment is connected to the first shaft segment and the other end is connected to the first drying plate. One end of the upper shaft segment is connected to the second drying plate and the other end is detachably connected to the lower shaft segment.
[0009] Furthermore, the upper half-shaft section is provided with a U-shaped groove with an opening facing the lower half-shaft section on the side corresponding to the second drying plate, and a second horizontal plate is provided on the side of the second drying plate that is inserted horizontally into the U-shaped groove. The upper half-shaft section is also provided with an adjusting rod whose inner end passes through the U-shaped groove and is rotatably connected to the second horizontal plate.
[0010] Furthermore, a first horizontal plate is provided on one side of the first drying plate corresponding to the lower half-shaft section, which is detachably connected to the lower half-shaft section.
[0011] Preferably, the surface of the support bar is also provided with anti-slip texture.
[0012] More preferably, the distance between the two drying sections is 1.2-1.5 times the thickness of the Polygonatum rhizome to be dried.
[0013] Furthermore, the support legs are equipped with height-adjustable support feet at their bottom.
[0014] This utility model discloses a processing device for Polygonatum sibiricum. It uses two spaced-apart drying plates with a rotatable shaft to replace manual turning. When turning the plates, simply loosen the locking mechanism, manually push the drying plate to the drying angle, and then lock it to complete the turning operation of all the Polygonatum sibiricum on the drying plate. This allows for alternating drying of the upper and lower surfaces of the Polygonatum sibiricum. Compared with manual turning by hand, it reduces labor consumption, lowers the risk of stacking sliced Polygonatum sibiricum, and improves the convenience of operation and the drying effect.

[0024] Combination Figures 1-3 This embodiment provides a processing device for Polygonatum sibiricum, including two opposing legs 1. Each leg 1 is laterally rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 2. A first drying plate 3 is laterally fixed between the two rotating shafts 2. A second drying plate 4 is spaced above the first drying plate 3. The two sides of the second drying plate 4 are detachably connected to the two rotating shafts 2. Both the first drying plate 3 and the second drying plate 4 include a drying section and a connecting section on the outside connected to the rotating shaft 2. The first drying section 31 of the first drying plate 3 and the second drying section 41 of the second drying plate 4 are formed by multiple crisscrossing support bars to form multiple ventilation chambers. The distance between the first drying section 31 and the second drying section 41 is adjustable, and each leg 1 is spirally provided with a locking member 5 whose inner end can abut against the corresponding rotating shaft 2.
[0025] See Figure 5 The support bars of the first drying section 31 are called first support bars 311, and the support bars of the second drying section 41 are called second support bars 411. The arrangement of the first support bars 311 of the first drying section 31 and the second support bars 411 of the second drying section 41 is the same. The intersection points of the support bars of the two drying sections are staggered. The vertical projection of the intersection point of the support bars of one drying section onto the other drying section falls on the middle of the ventilation chamber. The support bars in the same direction of the two drying sections are parallel and staggered in vertical projection (the arrangement of the first support bars 311 of the first drying section 31 is shown by the solid line in the figure, and the arrangement of the second support bars 411 of the second drying section 41 is shown by the double-dotted line in the figure). This avoids the support bars blocking the Solomon's seal. During drying, whether the first drying board 3 or the second drying board 4 is on top, it will not affect the overall drying of the Solomon's seal. It is conducive to the air circulation between the two drying boards and improves the drying efficiency and effect.
[0026] The size of each ventilation chamber should be determined according to the size of the Solomon's seal being dried (e.g., the area of the ventilation chamber is 5-10 cm²) to provide suitable placement space for the Solomon's seal, ensuring that it is not too crowded and that the area of the drying board is fully utilized. The spacing between adjacent ventilation chambers should be consistent to ensure uniform air circulation across the entire drying board, so that all parts of the Solomon's seal receive the same level of ventilation, achieving uniform drying and avoiding over- or under-drying of some parts of the Solomon's seal, thus improving the consistency and overall quality of the drying process.
[0027] Combination Figure 5 All the support bars on the first drying section 31 and the second drying section 41 are of the same specification, and a chamfered reinforcement structure is provided at the intersection of the longitudinal and transverse support bars. The cross-sectional shape of the support bar can be rectangular. Both the first drying section 31 and the second drying section 41 can be formed by stamping sheet metal in one piece. The surface of each support bar is also provided with anti-slip texture and is made of food-grade stainless steel.
[0028] All the support strips on the first drying section 31 and the second drying section 41 are of the same specification, and a chamfered reinforcement structure is provided at the intersection of the longitudinal and transverse support strips (see...). Figure 6 The second support bar 411 shown can be formed by stamping sheet metal in one piece. The surface of each support bar is also provided with anti-slip texture and is made of food-grade stainless steel.
[0029] Combination Figure 4 The two drying sections are circular or rectangular in structure. In this embodiment, a rectangular structure is shown. The edge of the first drying section 31 is provided with an annular first baffle 32, and the edge of the second drying section 41 is provided with an annular second baffle 42. These baffles are used to prevent the Solomon's seal from falling off the edge of the drying board during the drying process, thus serving as a limiting function. The first baffle 32 and the second baffle 42 are vertically interlocked, which enhances the stability of the connection between the two drying boards and makes it less likely to misalign when rotating the drying board for operations such as flipping. On the other hand, it can also reduce the entry of foreign objects into the drying board to a certain extent, which would affect the drying of the Solomon's seal and ensure the smooth progress of the drying process.
[0030] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 The distance between the first drying section 31 and the second drying section 41 is adjustable to accommodate the drying needs of Polygonatum sibiricum of different thicknesses. When encountering thicker Polygonatum sibiricum, the distance can be increased to prevent the Polygonatum sibiricum from being squeezed and stacked due to insufficient space. When drying thinner Polygonatum sibiricum, the distance can be reduced to make full use of the equipment space, improve the versatility and applicability of the equipment, and better meet the diverse drying scenarios of Polygonatum sibiricum.
[0031] Through experimentation, the distance between the first drying section 31 and the second drying section 41 was set to 1.2 to 1.5 times the thickness of the Solomon's seal to be dried. This ensures that the Solomon's seal has enough space during the drying process, preventing it from piling up and affecting the drying effect. At the same time, it prevents the Solomon's seal from moving too much between the two drying boards during the flipping process due to excessive spacing. This spacing allows for full air circulation and even distribution of air to all surfaces of the Solomon's seal, thereby improving drying efficiency, ensuring drying quality, and ensuring that the Solomon's seal can be dried under optimal space conditions.
[0032] In some cases, before flipping, the distance between the first drying section 31 and the second drying section 41 can be adjusted so that the first drying section 31 and the second drying section 41 can slightly clamp the Solomon's seal. After flipping, the Solomon's seal is on another drying board. At this time, the distance can be increased so that the drying board on the upper side of the Solomon's seal is away from the Solomon's seal, so as to avoid the upper drying board from contacting the Solomon's seal during the drying process, so that the Solomon's seal can be fully dried.
[0033] Specifically, in combination Figure 4 Specifically, the rotating shaft 2 includes a first shaft segment 21 and a second shaft segment rotatably connected to the support leg 1. The second shaft segment includes an upper shaft segment 22 and a lower shaft segment 23. One end of the lower shaft segment 23 is connected to the first shaft segment 21, and the other end is connected to the first drying plate 3. One end of the upper shaft segment 22 is connected to the second drying plate 4, and the other end is detachably connected to the lower shaft segment 23 via a screw 7. By disassembling the connection between the upper shaft segment 22 and the lower shaft segment 23, the second drying plate 4 can be easily removed so that the Solomon's seal can be placed on the first drying plate 3.
[0034] The lower half-shaft section 23 has a horizontally oriented positioning groove 231 at the bolt connection position with the upper half-shaft section 22. The upper half-shaft section 22 has a protrusion corresponding to the positioning groove 231 that engages with it. The positioning groove 231 is a rectangular groove, and the protrusion is a rectangular protrusion that matches the groove, so as to play a positioning role during installation and facilitate the quick installation of the second drying plate 4.
[0035] The upper shaft section 22 has a U-shaped groove 221 with an opening facing the lower shaft section 23 on one side corresponding to the second drying plate 4. A second horizontal plate 43 is horizontally inserted into the U-shaped groove 221 on one side of the second drying plate 4. An adjusting rod 6 is also spirally mounted on the upper shaft section 22, with its inner end passing through the U-shaped groove 221 and rotatably connected to the second horizontal plate 43. The cooperation between the U-shaped groove and the second horizontal plate 43 provides a stable and finely adjustable connection between the second drying plate 4 and the upper shaft section 22. The adjusting rod 6 facilitates and more precisely controls the distance between the two drying plates, meeting the high-precision distance requirements for drying different thicknesses of Polygonatum odoratum, and improving the flexibility of the equipment and the controllability of the drying effect.
[0036] A first horizontal plate 33 is provided on one side of the first drying plate 3 corresponding to the lower half shaft section 23. It is detachably connected to the lower half shaft section 23 by bolts, so that the first drying plate 3 can be disassembled for cleaning or maintenance after long-term use.
[0037] The first baffle 32 and the first horizontal plate 33 form the connecting part of the first drying plate 3. The first horizontal plate 33 is horizontally arranged on the side of the first baffle 32 near the rotating shaft 2. The second baffle 42 and the second horizontal plate 43 form the connecting part of the second drying plate 4. The second horizontal plate 43 is horizontally arranged on the side of the second baffle 42 near the rotating shaft 2.
[0038] Both the screw 7 and the adjusting rod 6 located on the outside of the rotating shaft 2 are screwed with locking nuts, and the upper side of the rotating shaft 2 located below the locking nuts is provided with a plane that abuts against the lower side of the locking nuts, so as to further fix the position of the screw 7 and the adjusting rod 6 and prevent them from loosening during equipment operation.
[0039] Combination Figure 1 The bottom of the support leg 1 is also equipped with a height-adjustable support foot 8. When the ground is uneven, the height of the support foot 8 can be adjusted to keep the equipment level and ensure the stability of the drying board during the drying process.
[0040] Using the device of this embodiment, by Figure 1 When drying in the state shown, first loosen the screw 7 between the upper half-shaft section 22 and the lower half-shaft section 23, remove the second drying plate 4, place the Solomon's seal on the first drying plate 3, and then initially spread the Solomon's seal on the first drying plate 3. Then install the second drying plate 4, and adjust the distance between the second drying plate 4 and the first drying section 31 and the second drying section 41 by rotating the adjusting rod 6 to a position where the height is 1.2-1.5 times the thickness of the Solomon's seal to be dried. Drying can then begin. When turning over (by... Figure 1 (To flip the Solomon's seal in the state shown), first loosen the two locking pieces 5, and then manually push the two drying boards to rotate (90 degrees). If the Solomon's seal is heavy and difficult to push manually, a motor can be used to drive the rotating shaft 2 to rotate and flip it. Then lock the two locking pieces 5, and the Solomon's seal on the first drying board 3 can be flipped onto the second drying board 4. This completes the flipping operation of all the Solomon's seal on the first drying board 3, thereby achieving alternating drying of the upper and lower surfaces of the Solomon's seal. Compared with manually flipping the drying boards by hand, this method reduces labor consumption, lowers the risk of stacking sliced Solomon's seal, and improves the convenience of operation and drying effect.
