[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner", "around" and other terms indicating orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0033] Please see Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model is a folding and layered Chinese herbal medicine drying rack, including a frame body 1 and a tray 2 rotatably installed inside it. The tray 2 can be square, round or other symmetrical shapes.

[0034] The tray 2 has a double-layer mesh structure. The upper layer consists of two semi-circular meshes 21 that form a circular structure when horizontal. The lower layer is a circular mesh plate 22 for placing Chinese herbal medicine slices. When the semi-circular meshes 21 are horizontal, they are combined with the circular mesh plate 22 to clamp the Chinese herbal medicine slices (the semi-circular meshes 21 and the circular mesh plate 22 are connected by bolts or other mechanisms that can lock and unlock). The opposite ends of the adjacent semi-circular meshes 21 are equipped with rotating shafts, which are fixedly connected to the upward-extending guardrails 222 on the outer ring of the circular mesh plate 22.

[0035] The side of the frame 1 is provided with a push plate 31, which moves up and down along the vertical support. The side of the frame 1 is fixedly installed with an expansion joint 32, which is used to drive the push plate 31 to move up and down. The inside of the frame 1 is rotatably installed to drive the tray 2 to rotate and flip. The racks 311 on the inner side of the push plate 31 are equally spaced up and down, and each one corresponds to the installation height of the tray 2.

[0036] Furthermore, a baffle 221 extends upward from the middle of the circular mesh plate 22. The baffle 221 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the enclosure 222 at the front and back. The upper surface of the baffle 221 is attached to the lower surface of the semi-circular mesh 21 to seal the gap between adjacent semi-circular meshes 21 and prevent Chinese medicine slices from entering the gap.

[0037] Furthermore, handles 223 are installed on both sides of the enclosure 222. The two handles 223 are symmetrically arranged with the baffle 221 as the center. The open end of the handle 223 has an opening groove 2231 extending into the other end.

[0038] Furthermore, the main body of the flipping mechanism is a rotating shaft 41, which is rotatably connected to the outer wall panel of the frame 1. A gear is fixed at one end of the rotating shaft 41 located on the outer side of the frame 1, and it meshes with the rack 311. When the push plate 31 moves up and down, the rotating shaft 41 is driven to rotate through the rack 311 and the gear.

[0039] Furthermore, one end of the pivot 41 located inside the frame 1 is fixed with a telescopic device 42, and its movable end is fixed with a connecting block 421, which can pass through the hole opened in the inner wall panel of the frame 1 and connect to the handle 223.

[0040] Furthermore, a retaining plate 4211 is fixed to the outside of the adapter block 421. When it enters the hole of the handle 223, it engages with the opening slot 2231 to transmit rotational power and drive the tray 2 to rotate and flip when the rotating shaft 41 rotates.

[0041] In addition, the push plate 31 and the telescopic device 32 are a group, arranged at equal intervals along the vertical support of the frame 1. The adjacent telescopic devices 32 are activated one after another, which can drive the pallet 2 to rotate in sequence, thereby avoiding the problem of excessive space occupation when the adjacent pallets 2 rotate to the vertical position.

[0042] Understandably, this invention can clamp the Chinese herbal medicine slices during the drying process to prevent them from being blown off by the wind, and can also directly flip the whole slices upside down, effectively avoiding the blind spots that exist in manual flipping.

[0043] A specific application of the operation process of this embodiment is as follows: During use, the handle 223 is moved laterally by the telescopic device 222, so that when the tray 2 is placed in the predetermined position, the adapter block 421 can be moved in and out of the handle 223 to engage and connect, thereby achieving the effect of quick assembly and disassembly; During the drying period, the semi-circular net 21 flips over to cover the surface of the circular net plate 22, thereby clamping and fixing the Chinese medicine slices and preventing important slices from being blown off by the wind; Further, the push plate 31 is moved up and down by the telescopic device 12, so that the rack 311 and the gear at the tail of the rotating shaft 41 form a meshing transmission, thereby driving the tray 2 to flip, so that the semi-circular net 21 rotates to the bottom and the circular net plate 22 rotates to the top, achieving the effect of flipping without dead angles.
