Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicinal material processing equipment, and in particular to a folding rack for drying medicinal materials. Background Technology
[0002] Sun-drying is a crucial step in the post-harvest processing of medicinal herbs, and the drying effect directly affects the quality, efficacy, and subsequent storage period of the herbs.
[0003] Currently, the most common method for drying medicinal herbs is static drying, such as using traditional drying mats or fixed drying racks. In this method, the herbs are laid out in a relatively fixed position, resulting in insufficient and uneven contact with sunlight and air. The lower and inner parts of the herbs often dry slowly and are prone to mold, while the upper parts may be damaged by excessive sun exposure. To ensure drying quality, workers need to frequently turn the herbs manually, which not only increases labor intensity but also easily causes physical damage to the herbs during the turning process.
[0004] To improve drying efficiency, some drying racks are designed with multi-layered mesh structures to increase the drying area. While this improves ventilation to some extent, it doesn't fundamentally solve the problem of even sunlight distribution. More importantly, these drying racks, designed for large capacity and high efficiency, are usually fixed and bulky in structure. During the off-season or when not in use, these devices occupy significant storage or workspace, making storage and management extremely inconvenient for processing plants with limited production space or for home users.
[0005] This reveals a common contradiction in existing technologies: it is difficult to simultaneously achieve uniform drying and convenient equipment storage. Devices capable of efficient drying are often complex and bulky, while simpler devices struggle to guarantee drying quality. The market lacks a comprehensive solution that can both automatically and uniformly dry medicinal materials and be easily folded and stored when not in use to save space.
[0006] Therefore, this utility model proposes a folding rack for drying medicinal materials to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Utility Model Content
[0007] In view of the problems in the existing technology of folding racks for drying medicinal materials, such as uneven drying due to the inability to rotate automatically, and the fixed overall structure making it inconvenient to fold and store, this utility model aims to provide a folding rack for drying medicinal materials with an improved structure that can effectively solve the above problems.
[0008] This utility model provides a folding rack for drying medicinal materials, including a base and a support column whose lower end is fixedly connected to the base; the folding rack for drying medicinal materials also includes a fixing ring rotatably sleeved on the outer wall of the support column, a folding mechanism fixedly connected to the fixing ring, and a drying component disposed in the inner cavity of the support column.
[0009] The folding mechanism includes a base fixed to a fixed ring, a rotating column rotatably connected to the base, a hanging plate fixedly connected to the rotating column, and a slider for locking the rotating column to the base.
[0010] Furthermore, the uniform heat distribution component is connected to the fixed ring for driving the axis of the fixed surrounding support column to rotate; a fixed groove is provided on the base, and a limiting groove that cooperates with the slider is provided on the rotating column.
[0011] Preferably, the even-sun assembly includes a motor housed within the cavity of a support column, and a rotating component connected to the motor drive; the rotating component is connected to a fixed ring via a connecting column.
[0012] Preferably, a sealing cap is also fixedly connected to the top opening of the support column, and the sealing cap seals the inner cavity of the support column.
[0013] Preferably, multiple fixing rings are provided, spaced apart along the length of the support column; the connecting column is vertically arranged and passes through the multiple fixing rings in sequence to achieve synchronous rotation of the multiple fixing rings.
[0014] Preferably, the shape of the fixing groove is cross-shaped.
[0015] Preferably, the slider is slidably disposed on the base; when the rotating column rotates until the limiting groove on it coincides with the vertical direction of the cross-shaped fixing groove, the slider can be inserted into the limiting groove to achieve locking.
[0016] Preferably, one end of the rotating column is rotatably accommodated in the base, and the hanging plate is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating column.
[0017] Preferably, the sliding direction of the slider is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotating column.
[0018] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] 1. This utility model solves the problems of static drying rack structure, uneven light and ventilation of medicinal materials, and the need for frequent manual turning in the prior art by setting a motor-driven uniform drying component inside the support column. The uniform drying component drives all hanging plates to rotate synchronously around the support column, thereby achieving the technical effect of automatic rotation and uniform drying of medicinal materials, and significantly improving the drying quality and efficiency.
[0020] 2. This utility model, by setting up a folding mechanism composed of components such as a base, a cross-shaped fixing groove, a rotating column and a slider, realizes the 90-degree flip-locking of the hanging plate, which solves the problems of fixed structure, large size, large storage space occupation and inconvenience of storage of the existing drying rack. It achieves the technical effect of quick folding and saving storage space, and greatly improves the convenience of the product.
[0021] 3. This utility model, by adopting an overall structure of a wide base and a hollow support column, and setting a sealing cover on the top of the support column, solves the problems of insufficient stability and easy damage to the internal transmission mechanism caused by moisture and dust that may exist in similar devices. It achieves the technical effect of a stable overall structure, reliable operation, and effective protection of internal components, thereby enhancing the durability and service life of the product.

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0032] Example:
[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a folding rack for drying medicinal herbs, which aims to solve the problems in the prior art where the drying rack cannot rotate automatically, resulting in uneven drying and the fixed overall structure makes it inconvenient to fold and store.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the herbal drying folding rack includes a base 1 and a support column 2 fixedly connected to the base 1 at its lower end. The base 1 provides stable support for the entire rack, and the support column 2 serves as the main body of the rack, supporting all other components. A fixing ring 4 is rotatably fitted on the outer wall of the support column 2, and a folding mechanism 5 is fixedly connected to the fixing ring 4. A drying uniform assembly 3 is provided in the inner cavity of the support column 2, and the drying uniform assembly 3 is connected to the fixing ring 4 in a transmission manner to drive the fixing ring 4 to rotate around the axis of the support column 2.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The structure of the uniform drying component 3 is described in detail below: The uniform drying component 3 is housed within the cavity of the support column 2 and includes a motor 31, a rotating component 32, a connecting column 34, and a sealing cover 33. The motor 31 is vertically positioned at the bottom of the cavity of the support column 2, serving as the power source for driving the rotation of the entire drying rack. The lower end of the rotating component 32 is driven and connected to the output shaft of the motor 31, while the upper end of the rotating component 32 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting column 34. The connecting column 34 is vertically positioned within the cavity of the support column 2 and passes sequentially through multiple fixing rings 4 set on the outer wall of the support column 2. Through this transmission connection, after the motor 31 starts, it drives the rotating component 32 to rotate, which in turn drives all the fixing rings 4 and the folding mechanism 5 fixed thereon to rotate synchronously through the connecting column 34, thereby achieving uniform drying of the medicinal materials. A sealing cover 33 is fixedly connected to the top opening of the support column 2, which seals the cavity of the support column 2, effectively preventing moisture and dust from entering and protecting the internal components such as the motor 31.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4The folding mechanism 5 includes a base 51, a fixing groove 52, a rotating column 53, a limiting groove 54, a slider 55, and a hanging plate 56. The base 51 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing ring 4, providing an installation base for other components of the folding mechanism 5. The base 51 has a fixing groove 52, which is cross-shaped, providing a guide path for the rotation and locking of the rotating column 53. One end of the rotating column 53 is rotatably accommodated in the base 51, and the hanging plate 56 is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating column 53 for supporting the dried medicinal materials. The base 51 has a limiting groove 54 for cooperating with the slider 55. The slider 55 is slidably disposed on the base 51, and its sliding direction is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotating column 53. When the hanging plate 56 needs to be folded or unfolded, the slider 55 can slide out of the limiting groove 54 to release the lock. When the hanging plate 56 is rotated to the predetermined position, that is, when the vertical direction of the limiting groove 54 coincides with the cross-shaped fixing groove 52, the slider 55 can be inserted into the limiting groove 54 again, thereby firmly locking the rotating column 53 together with the hanging plate 56 in the folded or unfolded state.
[0037] The working principle is as follows:
[0038] During the drying of medicinal herbs, the hanging plate 56 is first rotated to a horizontally unfolded state and locked by the slider 55. Then, the motor 31 installed inside the support column 2 is started. The driving force of the motor 31 is transmitted to the connecting column 34 through the rotating part 32. The connecting column 34 then drives all the fixing rings 4 sleeved on the outer wall of the support column 2 to rotate slowly in sync. Since the folding mechanism 5 is fixedly connected to the fixing rings 4, the rotation of the fixing rings 4 will drive the hanging plate 56 and the medicinal herbs it carries to rotate around the support column 2 together, realizing uniform drying from all directions and effectively improving the quality and efficiency of drying.
[0039] When the rack needs to be folded up, first operate the slider 55 to disengage it from the limiting groove 54, releasing the lock on the rotating column 53; then flip the hanging plate 56 up or down, causing the rotating column 53 to rotate 90 degrees within the cross-shaped fixing groove 52 of the base 51; when the limiting groove 54 on the rotating column 53 aligns with the vertical groove of the fixing groove 52, push the slider 55 again to engage it in the limiting groove 54, securing the rotating column 53 firmly in a vertical folded state; through this series of coordinated actions of the folding mechanism 5, the entire rack can be folded quickly, greatly reducing the space occupied and solving the problem of inconvenient storage of traditional drying racks.
