Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air-drying rack technology, and in particular to a traditional Chinese medicine air-drying rack. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) refers to medicines used for disease prevention, treatment, and health maintenance under the guidance of TCM theory. These medicines originate from plants, animals, and minerals in nature and are processed and prepared for medical and health care. TCM has a very wide range of applications, including treating various diseases, maintaining health, and preventing illness. When using TCM, it is necessary to differentiate syndromes and treat accordingly based on TCM theory, rationally selecting medicines and dosages to achieve the best therapeutic effect. A TCM drying rack is a device designed for placing and drying TCM herbs. It typically includes one or more racks to hold the herbs and uses natural or mechanical airflow to remove moisture, achieving the purpose of drying.
[0003] Existing Chinese herbal medicine drying racks typically use fixed supports to lay out the herbs for drying. Since different herbs have different drying requirements, uniform drying may result in some herbs being over-dried while others are under-dried, reducing the overall drying effect. Furthermore, to meet the drying needs of different batches of herbs, multiple drying racks need to be set up, increasing the floor space occupied in the production area and reducing space utilization.

[0022] Working Principle: When Chinese medicinal herbs need to be air-dried, a suitable air-drying method is first selected based on the type of herb and air-drying requirements. Then, for herbs requiring hanging air-drying, hooks 13 installed on the outer end of the column 1 are used for hanging air-drying. By installing different numbers and positions of hooks 13 on the outer end of the column 1, various air-drying methods can be used for different herbs, meeting diverse air-drying needs and adapting to different herbs' drying requirements. The hooks 13 also allow for categorized management and air-drying, effectively preventing mutual interference between herbs. Adding hooks 13 allows the drying rack to accommodate more herbs within a limited space. Based on the required drying height, fine adjustments are made using an adjusting plate 9 fixed to the lower end of the column 1. The adjusting plate 9 moves along the telescopic groove inside the load-bearing rod 8, and is then fixed by the limiting plate 10 inside the load-bearing rod 8 inserted into the positioning groove on the adjusting plate 9, thus achieving the desired drying height. The precise adjustment ensures that the medicinal materials are air-dried at the appropriate height. For medicinal materials that need to be laid flat for air-drying, they are placed on the air-drying plate 3 installed on the inner wall of the support frame 2. The multiple sets of partition plates 4 on the air-drying plate 3 are separated according to the different types of medicinal materials to prevent mixing between different medicinal materials and avoid mutual interference, ensuring that each medicinal material can be air-dried under appropriate conditions. Secondly, when it is necessary to increase the number of herbs to be air-dried, the frame 16 fixed to the upper end of the column 1 is used to add a frame for fixed positioning, making full use of the vertical space of the frame so that more medicinal materials can be air-dried at the same time. During the entire air-drying process, several sets of flow channels 7 opened on the air-drying plate 3 assist the rapid flow of gas to air-dry the medicinal materials, accelerating the air-drying process. Combined with the load-bearing support plate 12 to reinforce the bottom of the frame and provide stable support, the structural stability and load-bearing capacity of the entire air-drying rack are guaranteed, realizing the stable air-drying of Chinese medicinal materials.
