Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of deer antler mushroom drying technology, specifically a heat pump drying device and method for deer antler mushrooms. Background Technology

[0002] Deer antler mushroom is a delicious edible fungus, scientifically known as Coral Fungus. Its fruiting body is erect, branching upwards into clusters of thin, fleshy branches, typically several centimeters to over 10 centimeters tall, resembling a broom or coral, and also like young deer antlers, hence its name. Deer antler mushroom is rich in protein, vitamins, and other nutrients.

[0003] Deer antler mushrooms are a type of fungus with a high water content. If they are not dried in time, they will easily spoil and rot, losing their edible value. Therefore, in order to extend the shelf life of deer antler mushrooms and maintain their taste and nutritional value, drying is usually necessary.

[0004] Drying effectively removes moisture from deer antler mushrooms, slowing down their metabolic process, extending their shelf life, and making them easier to store and consume. Simultaneously, drying kills bacteria and insect eggs, preventing food contamination and improving food safety. Therefore, drying is a crucial step in the processing of deer antler mushrooms; it not only improves their quality and shelf life but also makes them more convenient for consumption and preservation.

[0005] Existing deer antler mushroom drying equipment dries the mushrooms by arranging them neatly in perforated trays, placing the trays inside the drying equipment, and continuously drying them with hot air. Exhaust vents are used to maintain humidity within the equipment. However, in the later stages of drying, as the mushrooms become increasingly dry, the spacing between the trays needs to be reduced to enhance heat transfer efficiency. The fixed spacing in existing technologies keeps the mushrooms in a strong ventilation and drying environment throughout the process, which can easily lead to over-drying, causing the mushrooms to crack and darken in color. Furthermore, the lack of enhanced heat transfer can result in a dry, hard texture, nutrient loss, and a decline in quality. Therefore, this paper proposes a dedicated heat pump drying device and method for deer antler mushrooms to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies and solve the problem that fixed spacing keeps deer antler mushrooms in a strong ventilation and drying environment throughout the process, which can easily lead to over-drying, causing the mushrooms' skin to crack and darken in color, and the lack of enhanced heat transfer treatment can also make the mushrooms dry and hard, resulting in nutrient loss and a decline in quality, this invention proposes a heat pump drying device and method specifically for deer antler mushrooms.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is as follows: A heat pump drying device for deer antler mushrooms, comprising a dryer body; a door is rotatably installed on one side of the dryer body, a hot air vent is fixedly installed at the bottom of the dryer body, several perforated trays are installed above the hot air vents, an adjustment component is provided on one side of each perforated tray, and an auxiliary component is provided on the other side of each perforated tray; a dehumidification port is fixedly installed on one side of the dryer body. Through the adjustment components, in the later stages of drying, when the deer antler mushrooms gradually dry, the motor is started, and the spacing between the perforated trays is reduced by adjusting the components, thus enhancing the heat transfer of the deer antler mushrooms. This avoids the fixed spacing that keeps the deer antler mushrooms in a strong ventilation and drying environment throughout the process, which can easily cause over-drying, resulting in cracked skin and darkened color. Furthermore, without enhanced heat transfer, the deer antler mushrooms are prone to becoming dry and hard, losing nutrients, and experiencing a decline in quality. This invention improves the efficiency of heat transfer in the later stages of drying, thereby improving the quality of the deer antler mushrooms.

[0008] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes a motor, a first rotating rod, an adjustment base, a first bevel gear, a second bevel gear, a lead screw, an adjustment block, a first drive gear, and a first drive rack. Adjustment blocks are evenly installed on one side of the perforated tray. A drive assembly is located at the top of the topmost adjustment block. A lead screw is installed inside each adjustment block. An adjustment base is installed at the bottom of each adjustment block. The end of the lead screw away from the adjustment block passes through one side of the adjustment block and extends into the interior of the adjustment base. A second bevel gear is fixedly installed at the end of the lead screw extending into the adjustment base. Each wheel has a first bevel gear meshing at its bottom end. These bevel gears are fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the first rotating rod. The end of the first rotating rod furthest from the door is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the dryer body. A first drive gear is fixedly mounted on the other end of the first rotating rod. A first drive rack is meshed on one side of the first drive gear. One end of the first drive rack is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the dryer body. One end of one of the first rotating rods passes through the dryer body and extends to the outer wall of the dryer body. A motor is mounted on the end of the first rotating rod extending to the outer wall of the dryer body. Adjustments can be made by setting... In the later stages of drying, as the deer antler mushrooms gradually dry, the motor is started, causing the motor to drive the first rotating rod to rotate. The first rotating rod drives the first bevel gear to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear to rotate. The second bevel gear drives the lead screw to rotate, causing the lead screw to move the adjusting block downwards. The perforated tray moves downwards due to gravity, and simultaneously, the remaining lead screws move downwards due to gravity. The lead screws drive the first drive gear to move, and the first drive gear meshes with the first drive rack to rotate. The first drive gear drives the first rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives the first bevel gear to rotate, and the first bevel gear drives the second bevel gear... As the wheel rotates, the second bevel gear drives the lead screw to rotate, which in turn drives the first drive gear to move downwards. This reduces the distance between the perforated trays, preventing the mushrooms from drying too quickly due to a fixed spacing during the drying process. This avoids the problem of over-drying, which can cause the mushrooms to crack and darken in color. Furthermore, without enhanced heat transfer, the mushrooms can become dry and hard, leading to nutrient loss and a decline in quality. As the mushrooms gradually dry, the heat transfer efficiency is improved, and the hot air can also carry the aroma molecules from the surface of the mushrooms to the interior, making the aroma inside the mushrooms more intense and thus improving their quality.

[0009] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a drive block, a second drive rack, a second drive gear, and a second rotating rod. The top of the topmost adjusting block is fixedly mounted with a drive block. The end of each drive block away from the adjusting block is fixedly mounted with a second drive rack. One side of each second drive rack is meshed with a second drive gear. One side of each second drive gear is fixedly mounted with a second rotating rod. The end of each second rotating rod away from the second drive gear is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the dryer body. The outer wall of each second rotating rod is equipped with a reflux assembly. By configuring the drive assembly, when the adjusting assembly operates, the adjusting block drives the drive block to move, the drive block drives the second drive rack to move, the second drive rack drives the second drive gear to rotate, the second drive gear then drives the second rotating rod to rotate, and the second rotating rod drives the reflux assembly to operate, thus enabling the adjusting assembly to drive the reflux assembly to operate.

[0010] Preferably, the reflux assembly includes a third rotating rod, a rotating reflux plate, and a fixed reflux plate. The third rotating rod is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the second rotating rod. The rotating reflux plate is fixedly installed on the end of the third rotating rod away from the second rotating rod. The fixed reflux plate is installed on one side of the rotating reflux plate. The fixed reflux plate is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the dryer body at the end away from the third rotating rod. By setting up the reflux assembly, when the spacing between the perforated trays is reduced by adjusting the assembly, the third rotating rod is driven to rotate by the drive assembly. The third rotating rod drives the rotating reflux plate to rotate, so that the rotating reflux plates abut against each other to form a hot air reflux surface. This avoids the problem of poor reflux effect in the device, which makes it easy for hot air to pass through the inside of the mushroom, reducing the drying effect inside the mushroom and thus reducing the quality of the mushroom. It strengthens the vertical circulation of hot air inside the device, which enhances the drying effect inside the mushroom. In addition, the vertical circulation of hot air can also prevent moisture in the air from entering the inside of the mushroom, thereby preventing moisture from appearing on the surface of the mushroom and keeping the surface of the mushroom dry, which is beneficial to the preservation and transportation of the mushroom.

[0011] Preferably, the auxiliary components include auxiliary blocks, connecting rods, and guide rods. Auxiliary blocks are evenly installed on the side of the perforated tray away from the adjustment component. The auxiliary blocks are connected by connecting rods. A guide rod is installed at the top of each auxiliary block, passing through the auxiliary block and extending to the bottom of the inner wall of the dryer body. The bottom of the guide rod is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the dryer body. By setting the auxiliary components, when adjusting the spacing between the perforated trays, the auxiliary blocks provide auxiliary support to the perforated trays on the other side, preventing the perforated trays from tilting to one side due to gravity during spacing adjustment. This avoids the mushrooms piling up or even falling out of the perforated trays, which would affect the drying effect and quality of the mushrooms. The perforated trays can achieve balance at both ends when adjusting the spacing, ensuring the drying effect of the mushrooms and thus improving their quality.

[0012] Preferably, a synchronizing rod is fixedly installed at one end of the adjusting block, and the other end of the synchronizing rod is fixedly installed at one end of the auxiliary block. The adjusting block and the auxiliary block are connected by the synchronizing rod. By setting a synchronizing rod fixedly installed at one end of the adjusting block and the other end of the synchronizing rod fixedly installed at one end of the auxiliary block, and the adjusting block and the auxiliary block are connected by the synchronizing rod, the auxiliary component can move together with the adjusting component.

[0013] Preferably, the cross-sections of the rotating reflux plate and the fixed reflux plate form an arc shape. By setting the cross-sections of the rotating reflux plate and the fixed reflux plate to form an arc shape, the reflux effect of hot air is enhanced, allowing the hot air to carry the aroma molecules on the surface of the mushroom to the inside, making the aroma inside the mushroom more intense, thereby increasing the aroma of the mushroom and improving its quality.

[0014] Preferably, the number of teeth on the second drive rack is one-eighth of the number of teeth on the second drive gear. By setting the number of teeth on the second drive rack to one-eighth of the number of teeth on the second drive gear, the drive assembly drives the rotating return plate to rotate 45 degrees, so that the rotating return plate and the fixed return plate can form an arc, thereby enhancing the hot air return effect and improving the quality of dried deer antler mushrooms.

[0015] Preferably, the distance between the top and bottom of the adjusting block is greater than the distance between the top and bottom of the perforated tray. By setting the distance between the top and bottom of the adjusting block to be greater than the distance between the top and bottom of the perforated tray, the perforated trays are prevented from touching each other when the spacing between them is reduced, which would reduce the ventilation effect, easily lead to high humidity, bacterial growth, poor drying effect of deer antler mushrooms, and reduced quality. This improves the ventilation effect after the spacing between the perforated trays is reduced, thus improving the drying effect of deer antler mushrooms and improving their quality.

[0016] An installation method for an automated photovoltaic panel installation device includes the following steps:

[0017] Step 1: When starting to dry the deer antler mushrooms, arrange the mushrooms neatly in the perforated tray, place the perforated tray on the adjusting block and auxiliary block, close the door, start the motor, and make the motor drive the first rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives the first bevel gear to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear to rotate, which in turn drives the lead screw to rotate, which then drives the adjusting block to move upward, which in turn drives the perforated tray to move upward, and at the same time the adjusting block drives the remaining lead screws to move upward, which then drives the first rotating rod to move, which in turn drives the first drive gear to move, which meshes with the first drive rack and rotates, which in turn drives the first rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives the first bevel gear to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear to rotate, which in turn drives the lead screw to rotate, which then drives the adjusting block to move upward slightly, increasing the distance between the perforated trays to facilitate ventilation and moisture dissipation. At this time, turn on the drying device, and let hot air blow in from the hot air vent, pass through the deer antler mushrooms, and then blow out from the moisture exhaust vent.

[0018] Step 2: In the later stages of drying, as the deer antler mushrooms gradually dry, start the motor. The motor drives the first rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives the first bevel gear to rotate. The first bevel gear then drives the second bevel gear to rotate, which in turn drives the lead screw to rotate. The lead screw causes the adjusting block to move downwards, and the perforated tray moves downwards due to gravity. Simultaneously, the remaining lead screws move downwards due to gravity, driving the first drive gear to move. The first drive gear meshes with the first drive rack and rotates, driving the first rotating rod to rotate. The first rotating rod then drives the first bevel gear to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear to rotate. The first bevel gear rotates, which in turn drives the lead screw to rotate. The lead screw then drives the first drive gear to move downward, thereby reducing the gap between the perforated trays and improving the efficiency of heat transfer. At the same time, the adjusting block drives the drive block to move, which in turn drives the second drive rack to move. The second drive rack drives the second drive gear to rotate, which in turn drives the second rotating rod to rotate. The second rotating rod drives the third rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating return plate to rotate. This causes the rotating return plates to abut against each other, forming a hot air return surface. This enhances the circulation of hot air inside the device and improves the drying effect inside the antler mushroom.

[0019] Step 3: After drying is complete, turn off the drying device, open the door, take out the dried deer antler mushrooms, and carry out subsequent processing and storage.

[0020] The advantages of this invention are:

[0021] 1. This invention, through the setting of an adjustment component, activates a motor during the later stages of drying, when the antler mushrooms gradually dry. The motor drives a first rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives a first bevel gear to rotate. This first bevel gear then drives a second bevel gear to rotate, which in turn drives a lead screw to rotate. The lead screw causes an adjustment block to move downwards, and the perforated tray moves downwards due to gravity. Simultaneously, the remaining lead screws move downwards due to gravity, driving a first drive gear to move. The first drive gear meshes with a first drive rack and rotates, driving the first rotating rod to rotate. The first rotating rod then drives the first bevel gear to rotate, which in turn drives... The second bevel gear rotates, which in turn drives the lead screw to rotate. The lead screw then drives the first drive gear to move downward, thereby reducing the gap between the perforated trays. This avoids the problem of the mushrooms being over-dried due to the fixed spacing during the drying process, which can cause the mushrooms to crack and darken in color. In addition, without enhanced heat transfer treatment, the mushrooms are prone to becoming dry and hard, losing nutrients, and thus reducing their quality. As the mushrooms gradually dry, the efficiency of heat transfer is improved. The hot air can also carry the aroma molecules on the surface of the mushrooms to the inside, making the aroma inside the mushrooms more intense, thereby improving the quality of the mushrooms.

[0022] 2. This invention, by setting up a reflux assembly, reduces the spacing between perforated trays when the assembly is adjusted. The drive assembly then rotates a third rotating rod, which in turn rotates a rotating reflux plate. This causes the rotating reflux plates to abut against each other, forming a hot air reflux surface. This avoids the problem of poor reflux within the device, where hot air easily penetrates the interior of the mushroom, reducing the drying effect and consequently lowering the quality of the mushroom. The invention enhances the vertical circulation of hot air within the device, improving the drying effect inside the mushroom. Furthermore, the vertical circulation of hot air prevents moisture from entering the mushroom, thus preventing surface moisture and maintaining a dry surface, which is beneficial for the preservation and transportation of the mushroom.

[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example 1

[0033] Please see Figure 1-7As shown, a heat pump drying device for deer antler mushrooms includes a dryer body 1; a door 2 is rotatably installed on one side of the dryer body 1, a hot air vent 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the dryer body 1, and several perforated trays 4 are installed above the hot air vents 3. Each perforated tray 4 has an adjustment component on one side and an auxiliary component on the other side. A dehumidification port 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the dryer body 1. By adjusting the components, when the deer antler mushrooms gradually dry in the later stages of drying, the motor 6 is started, and the spacing between the perforated trays 4 is reduced by adjusting the components, thereby enhancing the heat transfer of the deer antler mushrooms. This avoids the problem that a fixed spacing would keep the deer antler mushrooms in a strong ventilation and drying environment throughout the process, which could easily cause over-drying, resulting in cracked skin and darker color. In addition, without enhanced heat transfer, the deer antler mushrooms are prone to becoming dry and hard, losing nutrients, and declining in quality. This device improves the efficiency of heat transfer in the later stages of drying, thereby improving the quality of the deer antler mushrooms.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the adjustment assembly includes a motor 6, a first rotating rod 7, an adjustment base 8, a first bevel gear 9, a second bevel gear 10, a lead screw 11, an adjustment block 12, a first drive gear 13, and a first drive rack 14. Adjustment blocks 12 are evenly installed on one side of the perforated tray 4. A drive assembly is located at the top of the topmost adjustment block 12. Lead screws 11 are installed inside each adjustment block 12. An adjustment base 8 is installed at the bottom of each adjustment block 12. The end of the lead screw 11 away from the adjustment block 12 passes through one side of the adjustment block 12 and extends into the interior of the adjustment base 8. A second bevel gear 10 is fixedly installed at the end of the lead screw 11 extending into the adjustment base 8. The bottom ends of all the bevel gears 10 are meshed with first bevel gears 9, which are all fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the first rotating rod 7. The end of the first rotating rod 7 away from the door 2 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the dryer body 1. The other end of the first rotating rod 7 is fixedly mounted with a first drive gear 13. A first drive rack 14 is meshed on one side of the first drive gear 13. One end of the first drive rack 14 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the dryer body 1. One end of one of the first rotating rods 7 passes through the dryer body 1 and extends to the outer wall of the dryer body 1. A motor 6 is mounted on the end of the first rotating rod 7 that extends to the outer wall of the dryer body 1. By setting the adjustment component, after drying... During the drying process of the deer antler mushrooms, motor 6 is started, causing motor 6 to drive the first rotating rod 7 to rotate. The first rotating rod 7 drives the first bevel gear 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear 10 to rotate. The second bevel gear 10 drives the lead screw 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the adjusting block 12 to move downwards. The perforated tray 4 moves downwards due to gravity, and simultaneously, the remaining lead screws 11 move downwards due to gravity. The lead screw 11 drives the first drive gear 13 to move, and the first drive gear 13 meshes with the first drive rack 14 to rotate. The first drive gear 13 drives the first rotating rod 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the first bevel gear 9 to rotate. The second bevel gear 10 is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the lead screw 11 to rotate. The lead screw 11 then drives the first drive gear 13 to move downward, thereby reducing the gap between the perforated trays 4. This avoids the problem of over-drying of the mushrooms during the drying process, which can cause the mushrooms to crack and darken in color. In addition, without enhanced heat transfer treatment, the mushrooms are prone to becoming dry and hard, and nutrients are lost, leading to a decline in quality. As the mushrooms gradually dry, the efficiency of heat transfer is improved. The hot air can also carry the aroma molecules on the surface of the mushrooms to the inside, making the aroma inside the mushrooms more intense, thereby improving the quality of the mushrooms.

[0035] An installation method for an automated photovoltaic panel installation device includes the following steps:

[0036] Step 1: When starting to dry the deer antler mushrooms, arrange the mushrooms neatly in the perforated tray 4. Place the perforated tray 4 on the adjusting block 12 and auxiliary block 23. Close the door 2 and start the motor 6. The motor 6 will drive the first rotating rod 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the first bevel gear 9 to rotate. The first bevel gear 9 drives the second bevel gear 10 to rotate, which in turn drives the lead screw 11 to rotate. The lead screw 11 then drives the adjusting block 12 to move upward, which in turn drives the perforated tray 4 to move upward. At the same time, the adjusting block 12 drives the remaining lead screws 11 to move upward, which in turn drives the... When the first rotating rod 7 moves, it drives the first driving gear 13 to move. The first driving gear 13 meshes with the first driving rack 14 and rotates. The first driving gear 13 then drives the first rotating rod 7 to rotate. The first rotating rod 7 drives the first bevel gear 9 to rotate. The first bevel gear 9 drives the second bevel gear 10 to rotate. The second bevel gear 10 drives the lead screw 11 to rotate. The lead screw 11 then drives the adjusting block 12 to move slightly upward, increasing the distance between the perforated trays 4 to facilitate ventilation and moisture dissipation. At this time, the drying device is turned on, and hot air is blown in from the hot air inlet 3, passes through the deer antler mushrooms, and is blown out from the moisture outlet 5.

[0037] Step 2: In the later stages of drying, as the deer antler mushrooms gradually dry, start motor 6. Motor 6 drives the first rotating rod 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the first bevel gear 9 to rotate. The first bevel gear 9 then drives the second bevel gear 10 to rotate, which in turn drives the lead screw 11 to rotate. The lead screw 11 drives the adjusting block 12 to move downwards, causing the perforated tray 4 to move downwards due to gravity. Simultaneously, the remaining lead screws 11 move downwards due to gravity, driving the first drive gear 13 to move. The first drive gear 13 meshes with the first drive rack 14 and rotates, driving the first rotating rod 7 to rotate. The first rotating rod 7 drives the first bevel gear 9 to rotate, and the first bevel gear 9 drives the second bevel gear 10 to rotate. When wheel 10 rotates, the second bevel gear 10 drives the lead screw 11 to rotate, and the lead screw 11 drives the first drive gear 13 to move downward, thereby reducing the gap between the perforated trays 4 to improve the efficiency of heat transfer. At the same time, the adjusting block 12 drives the drive block 15 to move, the drive block 15 drives the second drive rack 16 to move, the second drive rack 16 drives the second drive gear 17 to rotate, the second drive gear 17 drives the second rotating rod 18 to rotate, the second rotating rod 18 drives the third rotating rod 19 to rotate, and the third rotating rod 19 drives the rotating return plate 20 to rotate, so that the rotating return plates 20 abut against each other to form a hot air return surface, which strengthens the circulation of hot air inside the device and enhances the drying effect inside the deer antler mushroom.

[0038] Step 3: After drying is complete, turn off the drying device, open door 2, take out the dried deer antler mushrooms, and carry out subsequent processing and storage. Example 2

[0039] Please see Figure 1-6 As shown in the comparative embodiment one, as another implementation of the present invention, the drive assembly includes a drive block 15, a second drive rack 16, a second drive gear 17, and a second rotating rod 18. The top of the top adjustment block 12 is fixedly mounted with the drive block 15. The end of the drive block 15 away from the adjustment block 12 is fixedly mounted with the second drive rack 16. The second drive rack 16 is meshed with the second drive gear 17 on one side. The second rotating rod 18 is fixedly mounted on one side. The end of the second rotating rod 18 away from the second drive gear 17 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the dryer body 1. The outer wall of the second rotating rod 18 is provided with a return flow assembly. By setting the drive assembly, when the adjustment assembly is in operation, the adjustment block 12 drives the drive block 15 to move, the drive block 15 drives the second drive rack 16 to move, the second drive rack 16 drives the second drive gear 17 to rotate, the second drive gear 17 then drives the second rotating rod 18 to rotate, and the second rotating rod 18 drives the return flow assembly to operate, so that the adjustment assembly can drive the return flow assembly to operate.

[0040] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the reflux assembly includes a third rotating rod 19, a rotating reflux plate 20, and a fixed reflux plate 21. The third rotating rod 19 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the second rotating rod 18. The rotating reflux plate 20 is fixedly installed on the end of the third rotating rod 19 away from the second rotating rod 18. The fixed reflux plate 21 is installed on one side of the rotating reflux plate 20. The end of the fixed reflux plate 21 away from the third rotating rod 19 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the dryer body 1. By setting up the reflux assembly, when the spacing between the perforated trays 4 is reduced by adjusting the assembly, the third rotating rod 19 is driven to rotate by the drive assembly. 19 drives the rotating reflux plate 20 to rotate, causing the rotating reflux plates 20 to abut against each other, forming a hot air reflux surface. This avoids the problem of poor reflux effect inside the device, which allows hot air to easily pass through the inside of the deer antler mushroom, reducing the drying effect inside the mushroom and thus reducing its quality. It strengthens the vertical circulation of hot air inside the device, enhancing the drying effect inside the deer antler mushroom. In addition, the vertical circulation of hot air can also prevent moisture in the air from entering the inside of the deer antler mushroom, thus preventing moisture from appearing on the surface of the mushroom and keeping the surface of the mushroom dry, which is beneficial for the preservation and transportation of the deer antler mushroom.

[0041] Please see Figure 6-7As shown, the auxiliary components include auxiliary blocks 23, connecting rods 24, and guide rods 25. Auxiliary blocks 23 are evenly installed on the side of the perforated tray 4 away from the adjustment components. The auxiliary blocks 23 are connected by connecting rods 24. A guide rod 25 is installed at the top of each auxiliary block 23, passing through the auxiliary block 23 and extending to the bottom of the inner wall of the dryer body 1. The bottom of the guide rod 25 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the dryer body 1. By setting up the auxiliary components, when adjusting the spacing between the perforated trays 4, the auxiliary blocks 23 provide auxiliary support to the perforated trays 4 on the other side of the perforated trays 4. This prevents the perforated trays 4 from tilting to one side due to gravity during spacing adjustment, causing the mushrooms to pile up or even fall out of the perforated trays 4, thus affecting the drying effect and quality of the mushrooms. The perforated trays 4 can achieve balance at both ends when adjusting the spacing, ensuring the drying effect of the mushrooms and improving their quality.

[0042] Please see Figure 6-7 As shown, a synchronizing rod 22 is fixedly installed at one end of the adjusting block 12, and the other end of the synchronizing rod 22 is fixedly installed at one end of the auxiliary block 23. The adjusting block 12 and the auxiliary block 23 are connected by the synchronizing rod 22. By setting a synchronizing rod 22 fixedly installed at one end of the adjusting block 12 and the other end of the synchronizing rod 22 fixedly installed at one end of the auxiliary block 23, the auxiliary component can move together with the adjusting component.

[0043] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the cross-sections of the rotating reflux plate 20 and the fixed reflux plate 21 form an arc. By setting the cross-sections of the rotating reflux plate 20 and the fixed reflux plate 21 to form an arc, the reflux effect of hot air is enhanced, allowing the hot air to carry the aroma molecules on the surface of the mushroom to the inside, making the aroma inside the mushroom more intense, thereby increasing the aroma of the mushroom and improving its quality.

[0044] Please see Figure 2-6 As shown, the number of teeth on the second drive rack 16 is one-eighth the number of teeth on the second drive gear 17. By setting the number of teeth on the second drive rack 16 to one-eighth the number of teeth on the second drive gear 17, the drive assembly drives the rotating return plate 20 to rotate 45 degrees, so that the rotating return plate 20 and the fixed return plate 21 can form an arc, thereby enhancing the hot air return effect and improving the quality of dried deer antler mushrooms.

[0045] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the distance between the top and bottom of the adjusting block 12 is greater than the distance between the top and bottom of the perforated tray 4. By setting the distance between the top and bottom of the adjusting block 12 to be greater than the distance between the top and bottom of the perforated tray 4, the perforated trays 4 are prevented from touching each other when the spacing between them is reduced, which would reduce the ventilation effect, easily lead to high humidity, bacterial growth, poor drying effect of deer antler mushrooms, and reduced quality. The ventilation effect after the spacing between the perforated trays 4 is reduced is improved, thus improving the drying effect of deer antler mushrooms and improving their quality.

[0046] Working principle: When drying deer antler mushrooms, arrange them neatly in the perforated tray 4. Place the perforated tray 4 on the adjusting block 12 and auxiliary block 23. Close the door 2 and start the motor 6. The motor 6 drives the first rotating rod 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the first bevel gear 9 to rotate. The first bevel gear 9 drives the second bevel gear 10 to rotate, which in turn drives the lead screw 11 to rotate. The lead screw 11 then drives the adjusting block 12 to move upward, which in turn drives the perforated tray 4 to move upward. Simultaneously, the adjusting block 12 drives the remaining lead screws 11 to move upward, which in turn drives... The first rotating rod 7 moves, which drives the first driving gear 13 to move. The first driving gear 13 meshes with the first driving rack 14 and rotates. The first driving gear 13 then drives the first rotating rod 7 to rotate. The first rotating rod 7 drives the first bevel gear 9 to rotate. The first bevel gear 9 drives the second bevel gear 10 to rotate. The second bevel gear 10 drives the lead screw 11 to rotate. The lead screw 11 then drives the adjusting block 12 to move slightly upward, increasing the distance between the perforated trays 4 to facilitate ventilation and moisture dissipation. At this time, the drying device is turned on, and hot air is blown in from the hot air inlet 3, passes through the deer antler mushrooms, and is blown out from the moisture outlet 5.

[0047] During the later stages of drying, as the deer antler mushrooms gradually dry, motor 6 is started, causing motor 6 to drive the first rotating rod 7 to rotate. The first rotating rod 7 drives the first bevel gear 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear 10 to rotate. The second bevel gear 10 drives the lead screw 11 to rotate, causing the lead screw 11 to move downwards. The perforated tray 4 moves downwards due to gravity, and simultaneously, the remaining lead screws 11 move downwards due to gravity. The lead screw 11 drives the first drive gear 13 to move, and the first drive gear 13 meshes with the first drive rack 14 to rotate. The first drive gear 13 drives the first rotating rod 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the first bevel gear 9 to rotate, and the first bevel gear 9 drives the second bevel gear 10 to rotate. The first drive gear 13 moves downwards, causing the second bevel gear 10 to drive the lead screw 11 to rotate. The lead screw 11 then drives the first drive gear 13 to move downwards, thereby reducing the gap between the perforated trays 4 to improve the efficiency of heat transfer. At the same time, the adjusting block 12 drives the drive block 15 to move, the drive block 15 drives the second drive rack 16 to move, the second drive rack 16 drives the second drive gear 17 to rotate, the second drive gear 17 then drives the second rotating rod 18 to rotate, the second rotating rod 18 drives the third rotating rod 19 to rotate, and the third rotating rod 19 drives the rotating return plate 20 to rotate, so that the rotating return plates 20 abut against each other to form a hot air return surface, which strengthens the circulation of hot air inside the device and enhances the drying effect inside the mushroom.

[0048] After drying is complete, turn off the drying device, open door 2, take out the dried deer antler mushrooms, and carry out subsequent processing and storage.
