Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of drying equipment, and specifically relates to a drying device. Background Technology

[0002] A Chinese herbal medicine drying device is a specialized piece of equipment used to dry Chinese medicinal herbs. It can effectively remove moisture from the herbs, prevent mold and insect infestation, and improve the storage stability of the herbs.

[0003] Existing drying equipment for Chinese medicine typically includes a box set on the ground, with multiple partitions inside. When in use, workers place the Chinese medicine to be dried on the partitions, and the box dries the Chinese medicine on the partitions.

[0004] However, during use, because the medicinal materials are placed statically on the partition, when drying the Chinese medicine on the partition, the upper part of the medicinal materials on the partition comes into contact with the hot air first, while the lower part comes into contact with the hot air later. This results in different drying order of the medicinal materials on the tray. After the upper part is dried, the lower part is not yet dried, resulting in differences in medicinal properties and failing to meet people's needs. Therefore, a drying device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, this utility model addresses the shortcomings of the existing technology by providing a drying device that not only meets the basic requirements for drying Chinese medicinal materials, but also drives the medicinal materials to circulate and heat them inside the heating chamber through a circulation mechanism, so that the medicinal materials come into contact with hot air at the same time, thereby drying the medicinal materials simultaneously and avoiding any difference in the medicinal properties of the medicine, thus meeting people's needs.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a drying device, including a drying box, with support legs respectively provided at the four corners of the bottom of the drying box, and anti-slip pads respectively provided at the bottom of the four support legs, an inclined plate 1 provided on the upper side of the inside of the drying box, an inclined plate 2 provided in the middle of the inside of the drying box, an inclined plate 3 provided at the bottom of the drying box, an inclined plate 4 provided on the left side of the bottom of the drying box, and an inclined plate 5 provided on the right side of the bottom of the drying box, with the inclined plate 1, inclined plate 2, and inclined plate 3 arranged in a cross pattern, and a conveying mechanism provided on the right side of the drying box.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, a feeding port is provided on the left side of the box body, a box door is provided on the feeding port, a hinge is provided on the box door, and a handle is also provided on the box door. A switch is provided on the front side of the box body, and the switch is electrically connected to the first rotary motor and the second rotary motor.

A baffle is provided on the rotating shaft. A second rotating motor is provided on the front side of the box. The second rotating motor is connected to the rotating shaft through a coupling.

[0010] This design includes a second rotary motor. The rotation of the second rotary motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the baffle to rotate. The rotation of the baffle allows the material to pass through the feed inlet or the square hole, thus providing good guidance for the dried material.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, the inclined plates four and five are inclined in opposite directions and are connected to each other.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, the conveying mechanism includes a fixed block disposed on the right side of the box body, a circular hole disposed in the middle of the fixed block, a rotating rod rotatably disposed at the bottom of the fixed block, a spiral blade disposed on the rotating rod corresponding to the circular hole, and a first rotating motor disposed at the top of the fixed block, the first rotating motor being connected to the rotating shaft by a coupling.

[0013] This design includes a first rotary motor, which drives a rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives a spiral blade to rotate, thereby conveying the material at the bottom upwards. The material is then conveyed to an inclined plate one, and through inclined plates two and three, to an inclined plate five, where it enters the interior of the square hole, thus completing the circulation of the Chinese medicine and effectively drying the material.

[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, a square hole is provided between the drying box and the fixing block.

[0015] As a further improvement of this utility model, a feeding box is provided on the right side of the fixing block, a guide plate is provided inside the feeding box, and a hopper is provided on the top of the feeding box.

[0016] This design includes a feeding box with a guide plate inside. The guide plate facilitates the feeding of materials and prevents materials from accumulating inside the feeding box.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] Firstly, this design includes a first rotary motor. The rotation of the first rotary motor drives the rotary rod to rotate, which in turn drives the spiral blades to rotate, thereby conveying the material at the bottom upwards. The material is then conveyed to the first inclined plate, and through the second and third inclined plates, to the fifth inclined plate, where it enters the interior of the square hole, thus completing the circulation of the Chinese medicine and effectively drying the material.

[0019] Secondly, this design includes a second rotary motor. The rotation of the second rotary motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the baffle to rotate. The rotation of the baffle allows the material to pass through the feed inlet or the square hole, thus providing excellent guidance for the dried material.

[0020] Thirdly, this design includes a feeding box with a guide plate inside. The guide plate facilitates the feeding of materials and prevents materials from accumulating inside the feeding box. Attached Figure Description

[0029] like Figure 2 , 4 As shown, a feeding box 114 is provided on the right side of the fixing block 109. A guide plate 115 is fixedly connected inside the feeding box 114. A hopper 116 is fixedly connected to the top of the feeding box 114. The inclined plates 107 and 108 have opposite inclination directions and are connected to each other.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, the conveying mechanism includes a fixed block 109 fixedly connected to the right side of the box body. A round hole is fixedly connected to the middle of the fixed block 109. A rotating rod 110 is rotatably arranged at the bottom of the fixed block 109. A spiral blade 111 corresponding to the round hole is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 110.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, a first rotary motor 112 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed block 109, and the first rotary motor 112 is connected to the rotating shaft through a coupling.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, a square hole is fixedly connected between the drying oven 101 and the fixing block 109.

[0033] like Figure 2 , 3As shown, a rotating shaft 117 is rotatably arranged inside the box, close to the inclined plate 5 108 and the inclined plate 4 107. A baffle 118 is provided on the rotating shaft 117. A second rotating motor 119 is provided on the front side of the box. The second rotating motor 119 is connected to the rotating shaft 117 by a coupling.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, two guide plates 120 corresponding to the square holes are fixedly connected to the inclined plate 5 108.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, a discharge port 201 is fixedly connected to the left side of the box body, a box door 202 is fixedly connected to the discharge port 201, a hinge 203 is fixedly connected to the box door 202, and a handle 204 is also fixedly connected to the box door 202.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, a switch 205 is fixedly connected to the front side of the box, and the switch 205 is electrically connected to the first rotary motor 112 and the second rotary motor 119.

[0037] How to use this utility model:

[0038] When in use, the operator first turns on switch 205. The start of switch 205 drives the first rotary motor 112 and the second rotary motor 119 to be powered on.

At this time, the Chinese medicine slides down onto the inclined plate 2 105 under the action of gravity, and slides into the inclined plate 3 106 through the inclined plate 2 105. At this time, the staff starts the second rotary motor 119 according to whether the medicinal materials need to be further dried. When drying is required, the baffle 118 is rotated to the left, so that the medicinal materials enter the interior of the fixed block 109 along the baffle 118, the inclined plate 5 108, and the guide plate 120, thereby making the conveying mechanism circulate upward.

[0040] When the dried material needs to be discharged, the baffle 118 rotates to the right, thereby contacting the inclined plate 106, so that the material slides outward along the discharge port 201.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
