Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, specifically to a multifunctional drying and dehumidifying integrated drying machine for traditional Chinese medicinal materials. Background Technology
[0002] With the vigorous development of the social economy and the significant improvement in living standards, people are paying increasing attention to health and have a stronger demand for health preservation. Against this backdrop, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), with its unique theoretical system and significant therapeutic effects, has not only gained a large following domestically but is also highly sought after in the international market. In the TCM production process, drying is a crucial step, playing a vital role in ensuring the quality of medicinal materials and extending their shelf life. Traditional drying involves spreading the herbs flat on thin reed mats or cleaned cement floors and exposing them to sunlight until fully dry. However, existing drying methods have the following drawbacks: 1. Traditional drying methods cannot achieve efficient dehumidification at the same time, resulting in long drying time and uneven drying of Chinese medicinal materials, which affects their efficacy. 2. Traditional drying methods are difficult to adjust drying and dehumidification parameters according to different types and humidity levels of Chinese medicinal materials, resulting in poor flexibility.

[0017] In this embodiment, by setting up a drying mechanism 1 consisting of a housing 11, a pipe 12, a compressor 13, a condenser 14, a waste heat recovery unit 15, an exhaust plate 16, and an evaporator 17, air energy can be converted into heat energy to provide heat for the drying chamber mechanism 2. When needed, the fan brings air into the housing 11, the refrigerant in the condenser 14 absorbs the heat in the air, and the compressor 13 compresses it into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas. The heat is then transported to the air inlet chamber 213 through the pipe 12. After the hot air circulates in the drying chamber 21, it re-enters the housing 11 through the fan wall 27. The waste heat recovery unit 15 can then discharge the humid air through the exhaust plate 16.
[0018] Example 2 like Figure 1-5 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution: Preferably, the drying chamber mechanism 2 includes a drying chamber 21, a controller 25, and a connecting port 210. The drying chamber 21 is connected to the pipe 12 through the connecting port 210. The connecting port 210 is located on the left side of the drying chamber 21. A heat-insulating door panel 26 is provided on the right side of the drying chamber 21. A Chinese medicine storage rack 23 is provided inside the drying chamber 21. A temperature and humidity detector 24 is provided above the Chinese medicine storage rack 23. The temperature and humidity detector 24 is electrically connected to the temperature and humidity module of the controller 25. The controller 25 is fixedly connected to the side of the drying chamber 21. The left end of the drying chamber 21 is equipped with a... An air inlet chamber 213 is provided, and an exhaust chamber 212 is provided on the front and rear sides of the air inlet chamber 213. An air guide plate 29 is provided at the junction of the exhaust chamber 212 and the air inlet chamber 213. A fan wall 27 is provided inside the air inlet chamber 213. The fan of the fan wall 27 is electrically connected to the controller 25. The fan wall 27 vents air to the storage part of the drying chamber 21 through the second air inlet hole 214. A first exhaust hole 22 is provided on the front and rear sides of the drying chamber 21. A second exhaust hole 28 is provided on the side of the two exhaust chambers 212. The second exhaust hole 28 is connected to the exhaust chamber 212. A first air inlet hole 211 is provided on one side of the two exhaust chambers 212.
[0019] In this embodiment, by setting up a drying chamber mechanism 2 consisting of a drying chamber 21, a first exhaust port 22, a Chinese medicine placement rack 23, a temperature and humidity detector 24, a controller 25, an insulated door panel 26, a fan wall 27, a second exhaust port 28, an air guide plate 29, a connecting port 210, a first air inlet 211, an exhaust chamber 212, an air inlet chamber 213, and a second air inlet 214, hot air provided by the drying mechanism 1 can be introduced into the box 11 to dry the Chinese medicine placed on the Chinese medicine placement rack 23. At the same time, the temperature and humidity inside the drying chamber 21 can be adjusted by the controller 25, which facilitates the adjustment of different types of Chinese medicine. When needed, simply open the insulation door 26, push the Chinese medicine rack 23 into the drying chamber 21, and then use the temperature and humidity detector 24 to detect the temperature and humidity in the drying chamber 21. If the temperature and humidity inside the drying chamber 21 exceed the drying temperature and humidity of the Chinese medicine, it can be adjusted by the controller 25. The controller 25, through the fan in the fan wall 27 which is electrically connected, introduces the hot air provided by the drying mechanism 1 into the drying chamber 21 through the second air inlet 214 and the first air inlet 211 to dry the Chinese medicine placed in the rack 23. At the same time, the humid air in the drying chamber 21 is discharged from the device through the first exhaust port 22.
[0020] The working principle of this multi-functional drying and dehumidifying integrated Chinese herbal medicine dryer will be explained in detail below.
[0021] like Figure 1-5 As shown, during use, when needed, the fan draws air into the chamber 11. The refrigerant in the condenser 14 absorbs heat from the air and is compressed into a high-temperature, high-pressure gas by the compressor 13. The heat is then transported to the air inlet chamber 213 through the pipe 12. After the hot air circulates within the drying chamber 21, it re-enters the chamber 11 through the fan wall 27. This allows the waste heat recovery unit 15 to expel a portion of the humid air through the exhaust plate 16. Simply open the insulated door 26 and push the herbal medicine rack 23 into the drying chamber 21. The temperature and humidity in the drying chamber 21 are then detected by the temperature and humidity detector 24. When the temperature and humidity inside the drying chamber 21 exceed the drying temperature and humidity of the Chinese medicine, they can be adjusted by the controller 25. The controller 25, through the fan in the fan wall 27 which is electrically connected, introduces the hot air provided by the drying mechanism 1 into the drying chamber 21 through the second air inlet 214 and the first air inlet 211 to dry the Chinese medicine placed in the Chinese medicine rack 23. At the same time, the humid air in the drying chamber 21 can be discharged from the device through the first exhaust port 22.
[0022] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
