AI Technical Summary
During the baking process, sliced Chinese medicinal herbs are prone to sticking together and curling at the edges, which increases the loss of medicinal herbs and affects the integrity of the slices.
The system employs an upper air supply assembly and a lower air supply assembly to form a vertically penetrating airflow channel. Through the ventilation holes in the conveyor belt and the hollow holes in the bottom wall of the conveyor frame, it generates a bidirectional airflow lifting force, breaking the adhesive adsorption between the slices and accelerating the evaporation of moisture.
It effectively prevents slices from sticking together, maintains the integrity of the slice shape, and reduces the loss of medicinal materials.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a pretreatment device for drying Chinese medicinal material slices that combines anti-adhesion and shape retention functions, and has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] This pre-treatment device for drying and drying Chinese medicinal herbs, which combines anti-adhesion and shape-preserving functions, has a first fan in the upper air supply assembly blowing air downwards from the top plate, and a second fan in the lower air supply assembly blowing air upwards from below the transport frame, forming a vertically penetrating airflow channel. The airflow flows through the ventilation holes of the transport belt and the perforated holes in the bottom wall of the transport frame, generating a "two-way airflow lifting force" on the sticky slices placed on the transport belt. This airflow can create tiny gaps between the slices, breaking the sticky adhesion between them and preventing them from stacking and sticking together; at the same time, the airflow accelerates the evaporation of moisture from the slice surface, further reducing stickiness.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 A pretreatment device for drying Chinese medicinal material slices with both anti-adhesion and shape-preserving functions includes a transport component and a pretreatment component. The transport component includes a transport frame 1, support legs 2, a transport belt 3, transport rollers 4, and a first motor 5. One end of the transport frame 1 is set on the ground, and support legs 2 are set on both sides below the other end of the transport frame 1. The transport frame 1 is also provided with a transport groove, and several sets of transport rollers 4 are also provided in the transport groove. The several sets of transport rollers 4 are fitted with a transport belt 3. The output end of the first motor 5 passes through the transport frame 1 and is connected to a set of transport rollers 4.
[0025] The pretreatment component includes an upper air supply component and a lower air supply component. The upper air supply component includes a first side plate 6, a top plate 7 and a first air supply fan 8. The first side plates 6 are symmetrically arranged on both sides above the transport frame 1. The top plate 7 is arranged above the two sets of side plates. The first air supply fan 8 is embedded in the top plate 7.
[0026] Below the transport frame 1, there is also a lower air supply component adapted to the upper air supply component;
[0027] The bottom wall of the transport frame 1 is provided with perforated holes, and the transport belt 3 is provided with several sets of ventilation holes.
[0028] In this embodiment, the lower air supply assembly includes a second side plate 9, an adjusting plate 10, a driver 11, and a second air supply fan 12. The second side plates 9 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides below the transport frame 1. An adjusting plate 10 is rotatably arranged between the two sets of second side plates 9. A driver 11 for adjusting the angle of the adjusting plate 10 is also provided on one side of one set of second side plates 9. The first air supply fan 8 is embedded in the adjusting plate 10.
[0029] The operator spreads the sliced Chinese medicinal materials to be processed evenly on the input end of the conveyor belt 3 (the spreading thickness is ≤3 layers to avoid excessive stacking affecting the airflow penetration), and starts the first servo motor: the output end of the motor drives a set of conveyor rollers 4 to rotate, and through friction, drives the conveyor belt 3 and other conveyor rollers 4 to rotate synchronously, so as to realize the transport of the slices to the pre-processing area;
[0030] The precise speed control of the servo motor allows the conveyor belt speed to be flexibly adjusted according to the slice thickness: thick slices (3-5mm) run at low speed to prolong the airflow time; thin slices (1-2mm) run at high speed to avoid over-drying.
[0031] The transport trough of the transport frame 1 limits the transport belt 3, ensuring that the belt surface runs along a fixed track and preventing the slice from shifting during transport; at the same time, the ventilation holes of the transport belt 3 correspond to the hollow holes on the bottom wall of the transport frame 1, providing a channel for subsequent airflow to pass through, ensuring that the slice is within the wind field coverage area throughout the entire transport process.
[0032] When the upper air supply assembly is activated: the first air supply fan 8 on the top plate 7 blows air downwards, and the airflow acts vertically on the surface of the viscous slices on the conveyor belt 3; at the same time, the second air supply fan 12 of the lower air supply assembly blows air upwards, and the airflow penetrates the belt surface through the hollow holes of the conveyor frame 1 and the ventilation holes of the conveyor belt 3, forming a "two-way airflow lifting force".
[0033] The bidirectional airflow creates tiny gaps of 0.1-0.3mm between the slices, breaking the adhesive force on the slice surface and preventing them from stacking and sticking together. At the same time, the airflow accelerates the evaporation of moisture from the slice surface, further reducing the stickiness of the slices and reducing the risk of sticking together during subsequent baking.
[0034] In this embodiment, the driver 11 includes a second motor 13, a cover 14, a worm gear 15, a worm 16, and a connecting shaft 17. The cover 14 is provided on the second side plate 9. The worm gear 15 and the worm 16 are provided inside the cover 14. The worm gear 15 and the worm 16 mesh. The output end of the second motor 13 passes through the cover 14 and is connected to the worm 16. The center of the worm gear 15 is also provided with a connecting shaft 17 that passes through the second side plate 9 and is connected to the adjusting plate 10.
[0035] The second servo motor starts, driving the worm gear 16 inside the cover 14 to rotate, and the meshing worm wheel 15 drives the connecting shaft 17 to rotate, thereby causing the adjusting plate 10 to rotate around the connecting shaft 17.
[0036] If the slice edge curls upwards, the adjusting plate 10 tilts downwards by 10°, and the downward air supply applies slight pressure to the curled area to suppress it. If the slice curls downwards, the adjusting plate 10 tilts upwards by 10°, and the upward and downward air supply combine to lift and correct the curled shape. At the same time, the evenly distributed air supply fans ensure that the airflow acts evenly on the slice surface, avoiding deformation caused by uneven local stress.
[0037] In this embodiment, a base plate 18 is also provided below the two sets of second side plates 9 to ensure the strength of the two sets of second side plates 9.
