Detailed Implementation

[0025] 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.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-6 The drying device for Gastrodia elata offers two technical solutions:

[0027] The first embodiment includes an outer casing 1, with a protective door 2 hinged to the front of the outer casing 1. A drying assembly 3 is provided at the top and bottom of the outer casing 1. The drying assembly 3 includes a heating chamber 31, a fan 32, and a buffer chamber 34. The heating chamber 31 is fixed to the top of the outer casing 1 and is fixedly connected to the top of the fan 32. Multiple heating pipes 33 are provided between the left and right sides of the inner wall of the heating chamber 31. The buffer chamber 34 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer casing 1 and a vent plate 35 is fixedly installed on the top of the buffer chamber 34. The buffer chamber 34 and the heating chamber 31 are connected by two return air pipes 36 on the left and right sides. A drying bracket 4 is provided inside the outer casing 1. A drive assembly 5 is also provided inside the outer casing 1. The drying bracket 4 and the drive assembly 5 are connected by a connecting assembly 6.

[0028] The connecting component 6 is used to realize the transmission of the driving component 5 to the drying bracket 4 and to limit the position. The drying bracket 4 includes a base frame 41, a rotating shaft 42 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the base frame 41, a base plate 43 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft 42, and multiple trays 45 are stacked on top of the base plate 43.

[0029] The drive assembly 5 includes a protective box 51 and a drive motor 52. The connection assembly 6 includes a splined shaft head 61 and a splined bushing 62. The splined shaft head 61 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 52. The surface of the rotating shaft 42 has two sliding grooves 63, and the inner surfaces of the two grooves are slidably connected to sliders. The two sliders are fixedly connected to the inner surface of the splined bushing 62. The surface of the rotating shaft 42 is fixedly connected to a fixing ring 64. A limit spring 65 is fixedly connected between the fixing ring 64 and the splined bushing 62. The limit spring 65 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 42. The surface of the splined bushing 62 is fixedly connected to a conical sleeve 66. The protective box 51 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the vent plate 35. The drive motor 52 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the protective box 51. Universal wheels 46 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the base frame 41. The top of the vent plate 35 has grooves corresponding to the universal wheels 46.

[0030] When drying Gastrodia elata, the Gastrodia elata is placed in the tray 45 of the drying support. The drying process is quickly connected to the drive assembly 5 through the connecting component 6, which facilitates the quick connection and separation of the drying support 4 and the drive assembly 5. After connection, the position of the drying support 4 is effectively prevented from shifting when rotating, thus improving the practicality of the device.

[0031] The second implementation differs from the first implementation in that: multiple trays 45 are connected by a splicing assembly 44. The splicing assembly 44 includes a handle 441. The bottom of the tray 45 is provided with a handle groove 442 corresponding to the position of the handle 441. Positioning rods 443 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the handle 441. Positioning holes 444 corresponding to the positions of the left and right positioning rods 443 are provided at the bottom of the tray 45.

[0032] The splicing component 6 enables the rapid splicing of multiple trays 45 in the drying support 4, and allows the number of trays 45 to be increased or decreased according to the amount of Gastrodia elata, thus improving the ease of use of the device.

[0033] In use, place part of the drying bracket 4 into the outer casing 1, aligning the universal wheel 46 with the groove and pushing it into the outer casing 1. During this pushing, the conical sleeve 66 contacts the splined shaft head 61, causing the splined shaft sleeve 62 to move upwards and over the splined shaft head 61. After the splined shaft sleeve 62 aligns with the splined shaft head 61, the limiting spring 65 causes the splined shaft sleeve 62 to fit over the outside of the splined shaft head 61. Next, place the gastrodia elata into the carrying tray 45 and onto the base 43, aligning the handle 441 with the handle groove 442 and placing it inside. The positioning rod 443 is inserted into the positioning hole 444 to complete the placement. This process is repeated to stack multiple trays 45. During drying, the drive motor 52 is started to rotate the splined shaft head 61, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 42 to rotate through the splined bushing 62. The rotation of the rotating shaft 42 causes multiple trays 45 to rotate. At the same time, the fan 32 is started to energize the heating tube 33. The heating tube 33 generates high temperature after being energized, and the airflow generated by the fan 32 blows it towards the gastrodia elata to dry it. The downward airflow enters the buffer chamber 34 from the vent plate 35 and is returned through the return air pipe 36, thereby realizing hot air circulation.
