Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of drying devices, and in particular to a medicinal material drying device. Background Technology
[0002] Drying Chinese medicinal herbs is a processing procedure that dehydrates them while preserving their original components and medicinal properties. Drying is intended for long-term preservation. The drying process varies depending on the specific medicinal herb. When drying flowers and leaves, it is essential to maintain the integrity of the herbs to preserve product quality.
[0003] Existing devices place medicinal herb blocks on a tray and put them into a drying oven for drying. However, during the drying process, the bottom of the herbs adheres to the tray, resulting in uneven drying of the adhered surfaces. Therefore, a shaking mechanism was designed to address this problem, allowing the herbs to flip over during shaking for better drying results. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a medicinal herb drying device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is: A medicinal herb drying device includes: an air outlet at the top of a drying chamber body; a shaking assembly inside the drying chamber body, the shaking assembly comprising: a crossbar with both ends fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the drying chamber body; a slider penetrating the crossbar and sliding on the crossbar; a plate fixedly disposed on the top of the slider; a tray fixedly disposed on the top of the plate; a frame disposed inside the drying chamber body and fixedly connected to one side of the plate; a motor disposed on the outer side wall of the drying chamber body, with its output shaft inserted into the interior of the drying chamber body; a turntable fixedly disposed on the output shaft of the motor; and a sliding rod disposed inside the frame and fixedly connected to the turntable.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0019] In the current technology, existing devices place medicinal material blocks on a tray and put them into a drying oven for drying. However, during the drying process, the bottom of the medicinal material adheres to the tray, and the drying effect on the adhered surface is not ideal, resulting in uneven drying of the medicinal material.
[0020] As shown in the attached drawings, this embodiment of the present invention provides a medicinal herb drying device. The device includes: an air outlet 12 at the top of the drying oven body 11; a shaking assembly 2 inside the drying oven body 11, the shaking assembly 2 including: a crossbar 21 with both ends fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the drying oven body 11; a slider 22 passing through the crossbar 21 and sliding on the crossbar 21; a plate 23 fixedly disposed on the top of the slider 22; a tray 24 fixedly disposed on the top of the plate 23; a frame 25 disposed inside the drying oven body 11 and fixedly connected to one side of the plate 23; a motor 26 disposed on the outer side wall of the drying oven body 11, with its output shaft inserted into the interior of the drying oven body 11; a turntable 27 fixedly disposed on the output shaft of the motor 26; and a sliding rod 28 disposed inside the frame 25 and fixedly connected to the turntable 27.
[0021] Specifically, the drying oven body 11 mainly dries the medicinal materials by heating air, circulating hot air, or using heat pump technology to evaporate the moisture. The core principles include three categories: hot air circulation, condensation technology, and heat pump system.
[0022] First, cut the medicinal materials into pieces and arrange them evenly inside the tray 24. Then, close the drying chamber body 11 and connect it to an external power source to dry the medicinal materials inside. During the drying process, moisture is discharged through the air outlet 12. Connect the motor 26 to the external power source to drive the turntable 27 to rotate, while simultaneously driving the slide bar 28 to slide inside the frame 25. This causes the frame 25 to move inside the drying chamber body 11, which in turn moves the plate 23. At the same time, the slider 22 slides on the crossbar 21 to support the plate 23. As the plate 23 moves, it causes the top tray 24 to move as well. When the tray 24 moves, the medicinal materials inside will roll, allowing the outer wall of the medicinal materials to come into fuller contact with the hot air, thus making the drying more uniform.
[0023] In some embodiments, the slide bar 28 is cylindrical, and its outer sidewall is fitted to the inner sidewall of the frame 25.
[0024] The smooth cylindrical surface reduces scratches on the frame 25 during sliding.
[0025] In some embodiments, the shaking component 2 further includes a groove 29 formed on the top of the plate 23 and fitting against the outer side wall of the tray 24.
[0026] The groove 29 is designed to grip the tray 24 after drying, allowing the tray 24 to move upwards and out of the groove 29, making it easy to remove the medicinal materials inside.
[0027] In some embodiments, the shaking component 2 further includes: holes 291 formed at the bottom of the plate 23 and the tray 24, and the holes 291 on the plate 23 are aligned with the holes 291 on the tray 24.
[0028] The design of the 291 holes allows for better air circulation, improving the drying effect.
[0029] In some embodiments, the shaking assembly 2 further includes a handle 241 fixedly disposed on the outer side wall of the tray 24.
[0030] The handle 241 is designed for easy gripping, allowing for better removal of the tray 24 from the recess 29.
[0031] In some embodiments, a stabilizing component 3 is provided at the bottom of the tray 24. The stabilizing component 3 includes: an insertion hole 31 opened inside the plate 23; a protruding rod 32 fixedly disposed at the bottom of the tray 24; and a rubber ring 33 fixedly sleeved on the outer side wall of the protruding rod 32.
[0032] When the bottom of the tray 24 is inserted into the groove 29, the protrusion 32 is inserted into the socket 31, and the rubber ring 33 deforms until the rubber ring 33 passes through the socket 31. The design of the rubber ring 33 can play a certain stabilizing role, making it difficult for the tray 24 to detach from the groove 29.
[0033] In some embodiments, the stabilizing component 3 further includes a cone 34 fixedly disposed at the bottom of the protruding rod 32.
[0034] The pointed tip at the bottom of the cone 34 makes it easier to insert into the socket 31.
[0035] In some embodiments, the stabilizing components 3 are arranged symmetrically in pairs in four groups and distributed at the bottom of the four corners of the tray 24.
[0036] Positioning it at the four corners allows for better control of the tray 24.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
