The invention discloses a tunnel type vegetable microwave drying machine and an automatic no-load preventing method thereof. The tunnel type vegetable microwave drying machine comprises a conveying system, a heater and a no-load preventing system, wherein the heater is fixed on the conveying system and comprises a waveguide, a moisture exhausting fan, a magnetic control tube, a stirrer and the like. The stirrer and the magnetic control tube are fixed at the top of a box body of the waveguide, and a moisture exhausting port is formed in one end of the top of the waveguide and connected with the moisture exhausting fan. The no-load preventing system comprises a computer, a control console and an industrial camera, wherein the industrial camera is installed at the top of the other end of the waveguide and obtains RGB images on a white conveying belt at the material input end in the drying machine in real time, the computer is utilized to process the images and obtain the area of each material-free area on the white conveying belt, when the area of the single material-free area is larger than the set no-load area, the control console enables the magnetic control tube to stop working, the magnetic control tube and the conveying belt are protected, and otherwise, the magnetic control tube runs normally. The drying process of the whole drying machine is automatic, the productivity is high, and the drying and processing requirements of different agricultural products are met.
