[0046] The use process and working principle of the technical solution of the present invention are as follows:

[0047] When in use, the hopper body 4 to be dried is placed on the supporting hopper 2, and the air outlet pipe 18 is inserted into the inside of the circular hole 31, and the forward and reverse motor 26 is started, and the output shaft of the forward and reverse motor 26 drives the driving shaft 30 to rotate, and the driving shaft 30 drives the second synchronous wheel 29 to rotate, and the second synchronous wheel 29 drives the synchronous belt 25 to rotate.
