Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, and in particular to a device for drying traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbs refer to medicinal materials produced in specific natural conditions and ecological environments. They are original medicinal materials used under the guidance of traditional medical techniques to treat diseases and have gained widespread recognition from doctors and patients over a long period of time. In the processing of TCM herbs, natural sun-drying is required. Natural sun-drying can preserve the effective components, ensure efficacy, maintain the appearance of the herbs, reduce the risk of harmful substance residues, save costs, and help with the storage and preservation of the herbs.

[0014] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the present invention proposes a Chinese herbal medicine drying device, including a fixed frame 1, four rectangular casters 2 fixed on the bottom surface of the fixed frame 1, and a placement plate 3 fixed to the top surface of the fixed frame 1. The inner bottom wall of the placement plate 3 is evenly provided with multiple ventilation holes 19. The placement plate 3 is inclined and is used for placing Chinese herbal medicines. The bottom of the herbs is then ventilated and dried through the ventilation holes 19, which improves the uniformity of drying and facilitates the separation of smaller impurities. The frame is also moved by the casters 2.
[0015] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The placement plate 3 has guide rails 13 fixed on both sides, and an anti-blowing mechanism is provided on the upper part of the placement plate 3 corresponding to the guide rails 13. The anti-blowing mechanism includes: a transparent protective frame 4, which is slidably disposed above the placement plate 3, and T-shaped sliding rods 12 are fixed on both sides of the bottom surface of the transparent protective frame 4. The T-shaped sliding rods 12 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide rails 13; a top cover 5, which is disposed on the top surface of the transparent protective frame 4, and a side plate 6 is hinged to one side of the transparent protective frame 4. Limiting parts are provided on the surface of the transparent protective frame 4 corresponding to the side plate 6 to prevent wind damage or thunderstorms in summer. The T-shaped sliding rod 12 on the transparent protective frame 4 can be slidably locked onto the guide rail 13, thereby limiting the transparent protective frame 4 and protecting the medicinal materials on the placement plate 3. Even if no one is around, there is no need to worry about damage to the medicinal materials. When the weather is good and there is no rain, the top cover 5 can be removed to prevent the wind from blowing the medicinal materials off and to allow the medicinal materials to have better drying conditions. It should be noted that there are two row limiting rods 20 fixed on both sides of the bottom surface of the top cover 5. The limiting rods 20 are inserted into the top surface of the transparent protective frame 4, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the top cover 5.
[0016] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 The limiting component includes a rotating shaft 9 rotatably connected to the outer surface of the transparent protective frame 4. A movable ring 10 is rotatably sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 9. A hanging rod 8 is fixed on the outer surface of the movable ring 10. A U-shaped fixing block 7 is fixed on one side of the side plate 6. The hanging rod 8 is engaged with the U-shaped fixing block 7. A handle 11 is fixed on the outer surface of the movable ring 10. When the side plate 6 and the transparent protective frame 4 are integrated, the side plate 6 is limited by engaging the hanging rod 8 with the U-shaped fixing block 7. When it is necessary to remove the dried medicinal materials, the handle 11 drives the movable ring 10 to rotate on the rotating shaft 9, thereby driving the hanging rod 8 to rotate and disengage from the U-shaped fixing block 7, thus facilitating the opening of the side plate 6.
[0017] It is worth noting that, such as Figure 4A fixing component, located on the bottom surface of the fixing frame 1 and used for limiting the anti-blow mechanism, includes two L-shaped fixing rods 14 fixed to the bottom surface of the placement plate 3. An insert rod 16 is movably inserted through the surface of the L-shaped fixing rod 14. The top end of the insert rod 16 is inserted into the surface of the T-shaped slide rod 12. A top block 17 is fixed to the bottom end of the insert rod 16. A spring 15 that cooperates with the top block 17 is sleeved on the outer surface of the insert rod 16. A pull ring 18 is fixed between the two top blocks 17. One end of the spring 15 is fixed to the surface of the L-shaped fixing rod 14, and the other end of the spring 15 is fixed to the surface of the top block 17. By pulling the top block 17 down through the pull ring 18, the insert rod 16 is disengaged from the T-shaped slide rod 12, thereby facilitating the removal of the transparent protective frame 4. When the transparent protective frame 4 is in use, under the elastic force of the spring 15, the insert rod 16 is inserted into the T-shaped slide rod 12, thereby limiting the transparent protective frame 4.
[0018] It should also be noted that a grip ring 21 is fixed on one side of the transparent protective frame 4, which facilitates the handling of the transparent protective frame 4.
[0019] The above specific embodiments are merely several optional embodiments of this utility model. Based on the technical solution of this utility model and the relevant teachings of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above specific embodiments.
