Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece processing technology, and specifically discloses a drying rack for processing traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction pieces are TCM herbs that have undergone processing according to TCM theory and methods, and can be directly used in TCM clinical practice. This concept indicates that there is no absolute boundary between raw TCM herbs and TCM decoction pieces. TCM decoction pieces include some sliced ​​TCM herbs processed at their place of origin, whole raw herbs, and herbs that have undergone cutting, drying, or roasting. The first two categories should be considered TCM herbs in terms of management, but are understood as decoction pieces in prescriptions and preparations based on TCM theory. After manufacturing, TCM decoction pieces need to be packaged in jars or bags according to the prescribed quantities.

[0003] In existing methods of drying Chinese medicinal herbs, the herbs are usually laid flat on a drying board and manually turned over during the drying process, which results in low drying efficiency. Therefore, the inventor has provided a drying rack for processing Chinese medicinal herbs to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that the traditional method of drying Chinese medicinal herbs by manually turning them over reduces the drying efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the basic solution of this utility model provides a drying rack for processing Chinese herbal medicine slices, including a support frame and drying panels mounted on the support frame. The drying panels include a first drying panel for drying Chinese herbal medicine slices and a second drying panel hinged to one side of the first drying panel. The other side of the first drying panel is detachably snapped onto the other side of the second drying panel. Both the first and second drying panels have a plurality of evenly distributed ventilation holes. Symmetrical flip-over surfaces for adjusting the synchronous rotation of the first and second drying panels are provided at both ends of the drying panels and between them and the support frame. The component, the flipping component, includes a limiting plate located on the inner side of the end of the support frame, an adjusting pivot rotatably connected to both the limiting plate and one end of the support frame, and an adjusting rocker arm located on the outer end face of the adjusting pivot and extending to the outer end of the support frame. The first drying plate has symmetrically provided first locking rods that can be detachably engaged with the adjusting pivot at both ends, and the second drying plate has symmetrically provided second locking rods that can be detachably engaged with the adjusting pivot at both ends. The first locking rods and the second locking rods are symmetrically engaged at both ends of the adjusting pivot. The limiting plate is provided with limiting components for limiting the first locking rods and the second locking rods.

[0006] The principle and effect of this basic scheme are as follows:

[0007] 1. Compared with the prior art, this utility model is equipped with an adjusting rocker. By applying force to the adjusting rocker, the adjusting rotating seat is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the first and second locking rods, which are engaged with the adjusting rotating seat, to rotate synchronously. This achieves the flipping and adjustment of the entire drying board, utilizing the direction flipping of the entire Chinese herbal medicine slices, thus realizing the simultaneous flipping of all Chinese herbal medicine slices. There is no need to manually touch and flip the Chinese herbal medicine slices, which greatly improves the drying efficiency of Chinese herbal medicine slices. By setting the hinge and locking installation between the first and second drying boards, it is easy to accommodate and remove the Chinese herbal medicine slices, making the drying operation more convenient. This solves the problem that the manual flipping and drying method of Chinese herbal medicine slices reduces the drying efficiency.

[0008] Furthermore, the support frame includes symmetrically arranged side supports and a balance bar between the side supports. The adjusting pivot and the limiting plate are both mounted on the side supports. By setting up the side supports and the balance bar, the flipping control of the first and second drying boards is facilitated. The balance bar also facilitates the connection between structures, improving the overall stability of the structure.

[0009] Furthermore, the ends of the first and second locking rods are symmetrically engaged at both ends of the adjusting rotary seat. The adjusting rotary seat has symmetrically formed locking slots at both ends to accommodate the ends of the first and second locking rods, respectively. By providing these locking slots, not only is it convenient to restrict the rotation of the first and second drying boards, ensuring their rotation is synchronized with the rotation of the adjusting rotary seat, but it also facilitates the disassembly and installation of the first and second drying boards.

[0010] Furthermore, the end face of the side bracket has a locking groove that penetrates the limiting plate. The locking groove is a through groove with an open top, and the width of the top opening of the locking groove is no greater than the radius of the adjusting turntable. The adjusting turntable is rotatably connected to the locking groove. By setting the locking groove, it is convenient to rotate the adjusting turntable and limit its displacement, thereby further enabling direct flipping operations on the first and second drying boards.

[0011] Furthermore, the limiting component includes a threaded hole located on the bottom side of the limiting plate and communicating with the interior of the locking circular groove, and an adjusting bolt detachably connected to the threaded hole by a thread. The outer diameter of the adjusting bolt is equal to the width of the locking square groove. By providing a threaded hole and an adjusting bolt with an outer diameter equal to the width of the locking square groove, the rotation of the adjusting turntable is easily limited, thereby ensuring that the first and second drying plates containing the Chinese herbal medicine slices are restricted from rotating during the drying process, resulting in a better drying effect.

[0012] Furthermore, the first drying board is symmetrically provided with a snap-fit ​​seat on one side, and the second drying board is symmetrically provided with a snap-fit ​​block on one side that can be detachably snapped into the snap-fit ​​seat. By setting the snap-fit ​​seat and the snap-fit ​​block, the installation and fixation of the first and second drying boards are facilitated, thereby enabling the clamping and flipping of the Chinese herbal medicine slices that need to be dried.

The drying panels include a first drying panel 2 for drying Chinese medicinal herbs and a second drying panel 3 hinged to one side of the first drying panel 2. The other side of the first drying panel 2 is detachably snapped onto the other side of the second drying panel 3. Both the first drying panel 2 and the second drying panel 3 have dozens of evenly distributed ventilation holes 4. Symmetrical flipping assemblies are provided at both ends of the drying panels and between them and the support frame 1 for adjusting the synchronous flipping of the first drying panel 2 and the second drying panel 3. The flipping assemblies include components located inside the ends of the support frame 1. The first drying plate 2 has a first locking rod 8 symmetrically connected to the adjusting rotating seat 6 at both ends, and the second drying plate 3 has a second locking rod 9 symmetrically connected to the adjusting rotating seat 6 at both ends. The first locking rod 8 and the second locking rod 9 are symmetrically locked at both ends of the adjusting rotating seat 6. The first locking rod 8 and the second locking rod 9 are symmetrically locked at both ends of the adjusting rotating seat 6. The limiting plate 5 is provided with a limiting member for limiting the first locking rod 8 and the second locking rod 9.

[0019] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the support frame 1 includes symmetrically arranged side supports 10 and a balance bar 11 between the side supports 10. The adjusting pivot 6 and the limiting plate 5 are both installed on the side supports 10.

[0020] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the ends of the first locking rod 8 and the second locking rod 9 are symmetrically locked at both ends of the adjusting rotary seat 6. The two ends of the adjusting rotary seat 6 are symmetrically provided with locking square grooves 12 for accommodating the ends of the first locking rod 8 and the second locking rod 9, respectively.

[0021] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the end face of the side bracket 10 has a slot 13 that passes through the limiting plate 5. The slot 13 is a through slot with an open top. The width of the top opening of the slot 13 is not greater than the radius of the adjusting rotary seat 6. The adjusting rotary seat 6 is rotatably connected to the slot 13.

[0022] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the limiting component includes a threaded hole 14 located on the bottom side of the limiting plate 5 and communicating with the interior of the locking circular groove 13, and an adjusting bolt 15 that is detachably threaded to the threaded hole 14. The outer diameter of the adjusting bolt 15 is equal to the width of the locking square groove 12.

[0023] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, a snap-fit ​​seat 16 is symmetrically provided on one side of the first drying board 2, and a snap-fit ​​block 17 that can be detachably snapped into the snap-fit ​​seat 16 is symmetrically provided on one side of the second drying board 3.

[0024] In the specific implementation of this utility model, when it is necessary to dry Chinese herbal medicine slices, the second drying plate 3 needs to be adjusted to a horizontal position. During adjustment, first install the second locking rod 9 into any one of the locking slots 12, and make the opening of the second drying plate 3 face the same direction as the other locking slot 12 of the adjusting rotating seat 6. Then, by applying force to the adjusting rocker arm 7, the adjusting rotating seat 6 is rotated until the locking slot 12 that accommodates the second locking rod 9 is located directly below the other locking slot 12 of the adjusting rotating seat 6. At this time, the opening of the second drying plate 3 faces upward, and the first drying plate 2, which is hinged to the second drying plate 3, is located behind the second drying plate 3 and naturally vertically downward. Then, screw the adjusting bolt 15 into the threaded hole 14 until the adjusting bolt 15 locks the second locking rod 9 in the locking slot 12, thus completing the installation of the second drying plate 3. Then, the Chinese herbal medicine slices that need to be dried are laid on the second drying plate 3 for drying. When it is necessary to turn the Chinese herbal medicine slices over, the first drying board 2 is flipped over and snapped into the second drying board 3, so that the snap-fit ​​block 17 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​seat 16. The first snap-fit ​​rod 8 is also snapped into the snap-fit ​​square groove 12 located at the upper end of the adjusting rotating seat 6. Then, the adjusting bolt 15 is partially unscrewed out of the threaded hole 14, and then the adjusting rocker arm 7 is rotated 180 degrees so that the first snap-fit ​​rod 8 is located below the second snap-fit ​​rod 9. The first drying board 2 and the second drying board 3 are then swapped, so that the Chinese herbal medicine slices originally laid on the second drying board 3 are moved to the first drying board 2. All the Chinese herbal medicine slices are turned over and dried in one step. Then, the other side of the Chinese herbal medicine slices is dried.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, this utility model is equipped with an adjusting rocker arm 7. By applying force to the adjusting rocker arm 7, the adjusting rotating seat 6 is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the first locking rod 8 and the second locking rod 9, which are engaged with the adjusting rotating seat 6, to rotate synchronously. This achieves the flipping and adjustment of the entire drying board and utilizes the direction flipping of the entire Chinese herbal medicine slices, thereby realizing the simultaneous flipping of all Chinese herbal medicine slices. There is no need to manually touch the Chinese herbal medicine slices and flip them, which greatly improves the drying efficiency of Chinese herbal medicine slices. By setting the hinge and locking installation between the first drying board 2 and the second drying board 3, it is easy to accommodate and take out the Chinese herbal medicine slices, making the drying operation more convenient. This solves the problem that the drying process of Chinese herbal medicine slices is reduced by manually flipping them during drying.
