Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0024] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, it includes: The retaining ring assembly has a receiving component rotatably installed inside for receiving Chinese herbal medicine slices; A drive component, which is mounted on the retaining ring assembly and is capable of driving the receiving component to rotate; A limiting component, which is set on the retaining ring component and can cooperate with the rotating receiving component to flatten or flip the Chinese herbal medicine pieces; The baffle assembly is movably connected to the baffle ring assembly and can cooperate with the rotating receiving assembly to discharge the Chinese herbal medicine pieces from the opening.

[0025] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the retaining ring assembly includes an annular ring 100, the receiving component is rotatably disposed inside the annular ring 100, and the opening is formed on the annular ring 100, with the bottom wall of the opening flush with the top surface of the receiving component.

[0026] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the baffle assembly includes an arc plate 200, which is adapted to the opening. One end of the arc plate 200 is rotatably connected to one end of the opening. Specifically, a fixed shaft is fixed on the bottom wall of the opening, and the fixed shaft passes through one end of the arc plate 200 and is engaged with an E-type snap ring. The chord length of the arc plate 200 is equal to the inner radius of the annular ring 100.

[0027] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, a first limiting component 110 is fixed on the inner wall of the annular ring 100. When the inner wall of one end of the arc plate 200 abuts against the first limiting component 110, the end of the arc plate 200 away from the annular ring 100 is located at the center of the receiving component. A second limiting component 120 is fixed on the outer wall of the annular ring 100. When the arc plate 200 and the annular ring 100 are coaxial, the outer wall of the arc plate 200 abuts against the second limiting component 120. Additionally, a rotating plate 210 can be rotatably connected to the outer wall of the end of the arc plate 200 away from the fixed axis by screws. When the arc plate 200 and the annular ring 100 are coaxial, the end of the rotating plate 210 away from the screw abuts against the outer wall of the annular ring 100. The rotating plate 210 and the second limiting component 120 cooperate with each other to prevent the arc plate 200 from swinging. When discharging, the rotating plate 210 is operated to make the end of the rotating plate 210 away from the screw swing upward and away from the annular ring 100, so that the arc plate 200 can swing.

[0028] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the limiting component includes a shovel plate 300 and a transmission mechanism. Rotating rods are fixed to both ends of the shovel plate 300, and the rotating rods are arranged radially along the annular ring 100. Lugs are fixed to the annular ring 100, and the lugs are rotatably connected to the rotating rods. The shovel plate 300 is located on one side of the inner cavity of the annular ring 100, and the end of the shovel plate 300 away from the annular ring 100 extends to the center of the receiving component. The width of the shovel plate 300 is greater than the distance from the rotating rod to the receiving component. The transmission mechanism is disposed between the shovel plate 300 and the annular ring 100, and the transmission mechanism can drive the shovel plate 300 to rotate.

[0029] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the transmission mechanism includes a worm gear 400 and a worm 500. The worm gear 400 is fixedly connected to a rotating rod at one end of the shovel plate 300, and the worm 500 is rotatably connected to the annular ring 100 via an ear plate, meshing with the worm gear 400. A prism 510 for engaging with a ratchet wrench is fixed at one end of the worm 500. Additionally, a baffle 310 can be fixed to the end of the shovel plate 300 near the annular ring 100, with the top of the baffle 310 higher than the top of the shovel plate 300, to limit the movement of the medicinal herbs and prevent them from falling out of the annular ring 100 when turning them over. When it is necessary to flatten the medicinal herbs, the worm 500 is rotated using the ratchet wrench, driving the worm gear 400 to rotate. The worm gear 400, through the rotating rod, causes the shovel plate 300 to swing, creating a gap between the bottom end of the shovel plate 300 and the top surface of the receiving component for the passage of the medicinal herbs. Figure 1 For example, when the receiving component rotates clockwise, the Chinese herbal medicine slices are flattened. When it is necessary to flip the Chinese herbal medicine slices, the worm gear 500 is rotated by the ratchet wrench. The worm gear 500 drives the worm wheel 400 to rotate, and the worm wheel 400 drives the shovel plate 300 to swing through the rotating rod, so that the bottom end of the shovel plate 300 contacts the top surface of the receiving component. Figure 1For example, when the receiving component rotates counterclockwise, the shovel 300 scoops up the Chinese herbal medicine pieces and they fall from the top of the shovel 300, thus flipping them over. When discharge is required, the worm 500 is rotated by the ratchet wrench, which drives the worm wheel 400 to rotate. The worm wheel 400 drives the shovel 300 to swing through the rotating rod, causing the bottom of the shovel 300 to rise above the Chinese herbal medicine pieces. The arc-shaped plate 200 is then rotated to abut against the first limiting component 110, so as to... Figure 3 For example, when the receiving component rotates counterclockwise, the Chinese herbal medicine slices are blocked by the arc plate 200 under the action of the receiving component. As the receiving component continues to rotate, the Chinese herbal medicine slices fall from the opening into the collection device placed below under the guidance of the arc plate 200.

[0030] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the receiving component includes a grid frame 600 and a mesh panel 700, with the mesh panel 700 fixed to the top surface of the grid frame 600. The mesh panel 700 can be a wire mesh, welded or bolted to the grid frame 600, and the Chinese herbal medicine slices are supported on the mesh panel 700 during the drying process.

[0031] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the drive assembly includes a motor 800; the retaining ring assembly also includes support legs 900, a fixing plate 1000, and a fixing beam 1100. Multiple support legs 900 are respectively fixedly connected to the annular ring 100. One end of the fixing beam 1100 is fixedly connected to a support leg 900. The fixing beam 1100 and the support leg 900 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The end of the fixing beam 1100 away from the support leg 900 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 1000. The fixing plate 1000 is fixedly connected to the motor 800. A drive shaft 610 is fixed to the bottom end of the grid frame 600. The drive shaft 610 and the fixing plate 1000 are rotatably connected via a bearing. The bearing can be a thrust bearing capable of withstanding axial loads, which is conventional technology. See the attached reference for details. Figure 6 As shown, it will not be described again here. The output shaft of the motor 800 is connected to the transmission shaft 610 (this is a conventional technology: the output shaft has a keyway, and the transmission shaft 610 has a key, which is engaged with the keyway).

[0032] The working principle of this utility model of a device for drying Chinese medicinal herbs: When it is necessary to flatten the Chinese herbal medicine slices, the worm gear 500 is turned by the ratchet wrench. The worm gear 500 drives the worm wheel 400 to rotate. The worm wheel 400 drives the shovel plate 300 to swing through the rotating rod, so that there is a gap between the bottom end of the shovel plate 300 and the top surface of the receiving component for the Chinese herbal medicine slices to pass through. Figure 1 For example, if the receiving component is rotated clockwise, the Chinese herbal medicine slices will be flattened.

[0033] When it is necessary to turn the Chinese herbal medicine slices, the worm gear 500 is turned by the ratchet wrench. The worm gear 500 drives the worm wheel 400 to rotate. The worm wheel 400 drives the shovel plate 300 to swing through the rotating rod, so that the bottom end of the shovel plate 300 contacts the top surface of the receiving component. Figure 1 For example, if the receiving component rotates counterclockwise, the shovel 300 will scoop up the Chinese herbal medicine pieces and drop them from the top of the shovel 300, thus achieving the flipping.

[0034] When material needs to be discharged, the worm gear 500 is rotated using a ratchet wrench. The worm gear 500 drives the worm wheel 400 to rotate, and the worm wheel 400 drives the shovel plate 300 to swing through a rotating rod, causing the bottom end of the shovel plate 300 to tilt up and be higher than the Chinese herbal medicine pieces. The arc-shaped plate 200 is rotated so that it abuts against the first limiting component 110, so as to... Figure 3 For example, when the receiving component rotates counterclockwise, the Chinese herbal medicine slices are blocked by the arc plate 200 under the action of the receiving component. As the receiving component continues to rotate, the Chinese herbal medicine slices fall from the opening into the collection device placed below under the guidance of the arc plate 200.

[0035] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on its differences from other embodiments. Similar or identical parts between embodiments can be referred to interchangeably, and the embodiments can be combined with each other. For the apparatus disclosed in the embodiments, since it corresponds to the method disclosed in the embodiments, the description is relatively simple; relevant parts can be referred to in the method section.

[0036] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made by those skilled in the art to the technical solutions of the present utility model without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
