Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying machine technology, specifically to a Chinese medicinal herb drying machine. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) dryers are key equipment in the processing of TCM herbs, primarily used to remove moisture from the herbs for easier storage and subsequent processing. Currently, most common drying equipment uses hot air circulation, heating air and convecting it through a layer of herbs to achieve uniform drying. However, existing TCM dryers are relatively simple in function, typically focusing only on drying efficiency and control precision, lacking the ability to separate and collect impurities during the processing. Specifically, they have the following shortcomings:

[0003] 1. Existing Chinese herbal medicine dryers only have a drying function and cannot effectively separate and filter the ash and fine impurities adhering to the surface of the herbs. During the drying process, dust, debris, and other impurities on the surface of the herbs are easily dispersed by the hot air or remain in the herbs, affecting the quality and hygiene standards of the finished product, and even reducing the efficacy and commercial value of the herbs.

[0004] 2. After drying, the medicinal materials and the resulting ash are mixed together, lacking a convenient mechanism for sorting and removing them. Most equipment requires manual sorting and cleaning, which is cumbersome, inefficient, and prone to secondary pollution or loss of medicinal materials, making it difficult to meet the needs of modern, large-scale Chinese medicine production.

[0005] Therefore, based on this, we studied and improved the existing structure and proposed a Chinese herbal medicine drying machine. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that the medicinal ash and fine impurities adhering to the surface of medicinal materials cannot be separated, and it is also inconvenient to classify and remove them.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a Chinese herbal medicine drying machine, including a drying box, an inlet fixedly and through the bottom of the drying box, a hot air fan fixedly and through the side of the drying box, the drying box including a box body and a box door, and the box door is hinged to one side of the box body, and one end of the inlet extends into the drying box;

[0008] A filter frame is slidably installed inside the box. An inlet frame 1 is fixedly installed through the top of the filter frame and is slidably fitted onto one end of the feed inlet. An outlet frame is fixedly installed through the bottom of the filter frame. A collection frame is fixedly installed at the bottom of the box. An inlet frame 2 is fixedly installed through the top of the collection frame and is slidably fitted onto the inlet frame 2.

[0009] Both the filter frame and the collection frame have two drawers that slide through one side. The bottom of the drawer inside the filter frame is provided with several sieve holes. The drawer is provided with a snap-fit ​​component, and the two snap-fit ​​components snap-fit ​​with the filter frame and the collection frame respectively.

[0010] The housing is equipped with a vibration assembly that controls the up-and-down vibration of the filter frame.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the feed inlet is fixedly disposed on the top of the box, the box and the door are connected by a locking device, and the hot air blower is fixedly disposed on the box.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the snap-fit ​​assembly includes a movable groove disposed on the drawer, and a movable plate is slidably disposed in the movable groove. A locking rod is fixedly disposed on the top of the movable plate, and one end of the locking rod movably penetrates through the drawer. A spring is fixedly disposed between the bottom of the movable plate and the bottom of the movable groove.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a groove is provided on one side of the movable plate.

[0014] As a further embodiment of this invention: the latch on one of the latching components latches with the filter frame, and the latch on the other latching component latches with the collection frame.

[0015] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the vibration assembly includes two elliptical wheels rotatably disposed inside the housing, and the elliptical wheels are positioned below the filter frame and push the filter frame. A rotating rod is fixedly disposed on one side of each elliptical wheel, and the rotating rod is rotatably disposed on the housing. Two synchronous wheels are rotatably disposed on one side of the housing, and the two synchronous wheels are fixedly connected to their corresponding rotating rods. The two synchronous wheels are connected by a synchronous belt. A receiving plate is fixedly disposed on one side of the housing, and a motor that drives one of the synchronous wheels to rotate is fixedly disposed on the top of the receiving plate. Several springs are fixedly disposed between the top of the filter frame and the top of the housing.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. This utility model cleverly incorporates a vibrating filter frame and a bottom collection frame within the drying oven, with sieve holes at the bottom of the filter frame drawer. This allows the medicinal herbs to not only be dried by hot air during the drying process, but also to have fine impurities such as ash and debris adhering to the surface of the herbs effectively separated and fall into the collection frame below through the sieve holes via continuous vibration driven by the vibrating component. This achieves simultaneous ash and impurity removal during the drying process, avoiding the inefficiency and secondary pollution problems associated with traditional equipment that requires drying before washing or sorting, significantly improving the purity and quality of the dried medicinal herbs.

[0018] 2. Both the filter frame and the collection frame of this utility model adopt a sliding through-drawer structure and are equipped with a snap-fit ​​component for fixation. After the drying and filtering processes are completed, the user only needs to open the cabinet door and release the snap-fit ​​component (e.g., press the moving plate to disengage the lever) to pull out the filter frame drawer containing the medicinal materials and the collection frame drawer containing the medicinal ash separately, thereby achieving rapid and thorough separation and removal of the medicinal materials and ash. This design greatly facilitates the classification and collection of materials and the cleaning and maintenance of the equipment. The operation is simple and quick, effectively improving production efficiency and reducing labor intensity. Attached Figure Description

The drying chamber 1 includes a chamber body 102 and a door 103, with the door 103 hinged to one side of the chamber body 102. One end of the inlet 101 extends into the drying chamber 1. The inlet 101 is fixedly provided on the top of the chamber body 102. The chamber body 102 and the door 103 are connected by a locking device (such as a door lock or latch) to achieve locking after closing. The hot air blower 2 is fixedly provided on the chamber body 102.

[0028] Please see Figure 3-4 A filter frame 3 is slidably installed inside the housing 102. An inlet frame 301 is fixedly and slidably fitted onto one end of the feed inlet 101 at the top of the filter frame 3. An outlet frame 302 is fixedly and slidably installed at the bottom of the filter frame 3. A collection frame 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the housing 102. An inlet frame 401 is fixedly and slidably installed at the top of the collection frame 4, and the outlet frame 302 is slidably and slidably fitted onto the inlet frame 401. This fitting method ensures the relative movement between the components and forms a sealed channel from the feed inlet to the filter frame and then to the collection frame, preventing dust from escaping. Two drawers 5 slide through one side of both the filter frame 3 and the collection frame 4, and the bottom of the drawers 5 inside the filter frame 3 is provided with several sieve holes 50. 1. The system allows medicinal ash to pass through while trapping the medicinal herbs. The drawer 5, located within the collection frame 4, has a solid bottom to receive and store the falling ash. Drawer 5 is equipped with locking components 6 to securely lock the drawer in its working position. Two locking components 6 engage with the filter frame 3 and the collection frame 4 respectively. Each locking component 6 includes a movable groove on the drawer 5, within which a sliding plate 601 is limited and slidably mounted. A locking rod 602 is fixedly mounted on the top of the sliding plate 601, with one end of the rod 602 extending through the drawer 5. A spring 603 is fixedly mounted between the bottom of the sliding plate 601 and the bottom of the movable groove. The locking rod 602 on one locking component 6 engages with the filter frame 3, and the locking rod 602 on the other locking component 6 engages with the collection frame 4. Under the elastic force of the spring 603, the locking rod 602 typically remains in an upward-extended state, allowing its top end to engage with a pre-set locking hole on the side wall of the filter frame 3 or the collection frame 4, thus achieving locking. A groove is provided on one side of the movable plate 601, which makes it convenient for the user to press the movable plate 601 with their fingers to overcome the elastic force of the spring 603 and move the lever 602 down, thereby releasing the latch and making it easy to pull out the drawer.

[0029] Please see Figure 2-3The housing 102 is equipped with a vibration assembly 7 that controls the up-and-down vibration of the filter frame 3. The vibration assembly 7 includes two elliptical wheels 701 rotatably mounted inside the housing 102, with the elliptical wheels 701 positioned below the filter frame 3 and pushing it. A rotating rod is fixedly mounted on one side of each elliptical wheel 701, and the rotating rod is rotatably mounted on the housing 102. Two synchronous wheels 702 are rotatably mounted on one side of the housing 102, and the two synchronous wheels 702 are fixedly connected to their corresponding rotating rods. The two synchronous wheels 702 are connected by a synchronous belt 706 to achieve synchronous rotation. A receiving plate 703 is fixedly mounted on one side of the housing 102, and a motor 704 is fixedly mounted on the top of the receiving plate 703 to drive one of the synchronous wheels 702 to rotate. When the motor 704 starts, it drives the two elliptical wheels 701 to rotate synchronously through the synchronous belt 706. The major and minor axes of the elliptical wheels 701 act alternately, thereby periodically lifting the filter frame 3 and causing it to vibrate up and down at a high frequency. Several springs 705 are fixedly installed between the top of the filter frame 3 and the top of the inner box 102. The springs 705 provide restoring force when the short axis of the elliptical wheel 701 turns to the filter frame, assisting it to fall and form continuous vibration; on the other hand, they also play the role of suspending and stabilizing the filter frame 3.

[0030] The working principle of this utility model:

[0031] During operation, open the chamber door 103, press the locking assembly 6, and push the drawers 5 of the filter frame 3 and collection frame 4 into place and lock them in place. Close the chamber door 103 and start the hot air blower 2 and motor 704. Feed the medicinal herbs to be dried into the inlet 101, where they fall into the drawer 5 of the filter frame 3. The hot air blower 2 continuously supplies hot air into the chamber to dry the herbs. Simultaneously, the motor 704 drives the elliptical wheel 701 to rotate via the synchronous belt 706, causing the filter frame 3 and the herbs inside to vibrate continuously. This vibration ensures more even heating of the herbs, improving drying efficiency; it also shakes off impurities such as ash and debris adhering to the surface of the herbs through the sieve holes 501 at the bottom of the drawer 5, causing them to fall into the drawer 5 of the collection frame 4 below. After drying is complete, turn off the equipment and open the chamber door 103. First, operate the locking assembly 6 to pull out the drawer of the collection frame 4 to collect and process the ash; then pull out the drawer of the filter frame 3 to obtain clean and dry medicinal herbs.
