Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of Codonopsis pilosula drying device, specifically to a Codonopsis pilosula drying device. Background Technology

[0002] As a commonly used Chinese medicinal herb, the drying process of Codonopsis pilosula is a key step in ensuring its efficacy and extending its shelf life. The drying process must ensure that the material is heated evenly to avoid local over-drying or under-drying, which would affect its quality.

[0003] Currently, most traditional Codonopsis pilosula drying devices are static drying structures, where the material is directly spread on the supporting components inside the drying chamber. These devices have significant drawbacks: First, the drying uniformity is poor. Because the material is stationary, Codonopsis pilosula near the heating source is easily over-dried, while areas further away are under-dried, resulting in inconsistent drying quality within the same batch. Second, it is inconvenient to turn the material. To improve uniformity, the drying chamber door must be opened manually at regular intervals to turn the material, which not only increases labor intensity but also leads to heat loss and reduced drying efficiency. Furthermore, frequent opening and closing of the door allows external impurities to enter. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical issues The present invention aims to provide a Codonopsis pilosula drying device to solve the problems of poor drying uniformity and inconvenience of turning the material in traditional static drying devices.

[0005] (II) Technical Content To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a Codonopsis pilosula drying device, including a drying chamber, the drying chamber being open on the front and hinged with a door, a support plate that can extend out of the drying chamber being slidably provided on the bottom surface of the drying chamber, an electric push rod for driving the support plate to move horizontally fixed on the rear side of the drying chamber, a hollow placement basket for placing Codonopsis pilosula granules or slices being rotatably provided at the upper center of the support plate, a reduction motor for driving the placement basket to rotate being fixed at the bottom center of the support plate, heating devices being fixed on both the left and right side walls of the drying chamber, a dehumidification device being provided at the bottom of the drying chamber, and an electric push rod II being fixed on the top of the drying chamber, the piston end of the electric push rod II extending into the interior of the drying chamber and being fixed with a crossbar, and a number of equally spaced soft rubber rods for turning the Codonopsis pilosula granules being fixed at the bottom of the crossbar.

[0006] Furthermore, the dehumidification device includes a dehumidification outlet and a dehumidification fan. The dehumidification fan is connected to the dehumidification outlet for discharging moisture.

A support plate 3 that can extend out of the drying chamber 1 is slidably provided on the bottom surface of the drying chamber 1. An electric push rod 7 for driving the support plate 3 to move horizontally is fixedly provided on the rear side of the drying chamber 1. A hollow placement basket 4 for placing Codonopsis pilosula granules or slices is rotatably provided at the center of the upper end of the support plate 3. A reduction motor 5 for driving the placement basket 4 to rotate is fixedly provided at the center of the bottom of the support plate 3. Heating devices 2 are fixedly provided on both the left and right side walls inside the drying chamber 1. A dehumidification device is provided at the bottom of the drying chamber 1. An electric push rod 8 is fixedly provided on the top of the drying chamber 1. The piston end of the electric push rod 8 extends into the interior of the drying chamber 1 and is fixedly provided with a crossbar 9. Several soft rubber rods 10 for turning Codonopsis pilosula granules are fixedly provided at equal intervals at the bottom of the crossbar 9.

[0022] In this embodiment, as a preferred technical solution, the dehumidification device includes a dehumidification port 6 and a dehumidifying fan 18. The dehumidifying fan 18 is connected to the dehumidification port 6 and is used to discharge moisture. A filter screen is provided at the dehumidification port 6 to prevent Codonopsis pilosula debris from entering the dehumidifying fan 18. The device also includes a control system, which includes a temperature sensor 11, a humidity sensor 12, and an external PLC controller. The temperature sensor 11 and the humidity sensor 12 are respectively installed above and below the cavity of the drying chamber 1. The external PLC controller automatically adjusts the power of the heating device 2 and the start and stop of the dehumidification device based on the data from the temperature sensor 11 and the humidity sensor 12. The heating device 2 uses an infrared heating tube.

[0023] In this embodiment, as a preferred technical solution, a linear slide rail 14 is fixedly provided on the bottom surface of the drying chamber 1, and a slider 15 is fixedly provided on the bottom of the bearing plate 3. The slider 15 is slidably connected to the linear slide rail 14. A retaining ring is fixedly provided at the edge of the upper end face of the bearing plate 3 to form a receiving tray structure for receiving Codonopsis pilosula residue. Self-locking universal wheels 16 are fixedly provided at the four corners of the bottom of the drying chamber 1, and a transparent observation window 17 is provided on the chamber door 13.

[0024] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: This device uses an electric push rod 7 to drive the support plate 3 to move, so as to facilitate the loading and unloading of materials. The reduction motor 5 drives the hollow placement basket 4 to rotate slowly. The electric push rod 8 drives the crossbar 9 and the soft rubber rod 10 to descend and extend into the Codonopsis pilosula. As the placement basket rotates, the soft rubber rod 10 turns the Codonopsis pilosula to ensure uniform heating. At the same time, the temperature sensor 11 and the humidity sensor 12 collect data in the box in real time. The external PLC controller automatically adjusts the power of the heating device 2 and the start and stop of the dehumidification device according to the data, so as to achieve uniform drying of Codonopsis pilosula.

[0025] The working process of this utility model is as follows: 1. Control the electric push rod 7 to start, and its piston end pushes the support plate 3, so that the slider 15 at the bottom of the support plate 3 slides along the linear slide rail 14 on the bottom surface of the drying chamber 1, so that the support plate 3 extends out of the drying chamber 1; then put the Codonopsis pilosula granules or slices into the hollow placement basket 4 at the top of the support plate 3 to complete the loading.

[0026] 2. Control the electric push rod 7 to reset, drive the bearing plate 3 and the hollow placement basket 4 to retract into the drying chamber 1, and close the door 13 on the front of the drying chamber 1; set the drying temperature and humidity threshold through the external PLC controller, and start the main switch of the device.

[0027] 3. The heating device 2 is started and begins to heat up. At the same time, the reduction motor 5 starts and drives the hollow placement basket 4 to rotate slowly. The drying during rotation can make the drying effect more uniform. When it is necessary to turn the material, the electric push rod 8 is started. Its piston end drives the crossbar 9 to descend until the soft rubber rod 10 extends into the Codonopsis pilosula granules. The soft rubber rod 10 stops, and the placement basket 4 rotates. The relative movement of the two causes the soft rubber rod 10 to turn the Codonopsis pilosula in the hollow placement basket 4.

[0028] 4. Temperature sensor 11 monitors the temperature inside the chamber in real time. If the temperature is higher than the set threshold, the external PLC controller controls the heating device 2 to reduce the power; if the temperature is lower than the threshold, the power is increased. Humidity sensor 12 monitors the humidity inside the chamber. If the humidity is higher than the set threshold, the controller starts the dehumidifier 18 to discharge moisture through the exhaust port 6. After the humidity reaches the standard, the dehumidifier 18 is turned off.

[0029] 5. During the drying process, the drying status of Codonopsis pilosula can be observed in real time through the transparent observation window 17 on the door 13. When the set drying time is reached or the data monitored by the humidity sensor 12 is stable and meets the standard, the PLC controller controls the heating device 2, the reduction motor 5, and the dehumidifier 18 to shut down in sequence, and the electric push rod 8 drives the soft rubber rod to lift and reset, thus completing the drying process.

[0030] 6. After the temperature inside the drying chamber 1 drops to room temperature, open the chamber door 13, start the electric push rod 7, extend the support plate 3 outside the drying chamber 1, take out the dried Codonopsis pilosula from the hollowed-out basket 4, and complete the unloading. The retaining ring at the upper end of the support plate 3 forms a receiving tray to receive Codonopsis pilosula fragments for easy cleaning later.

[0031] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
