[0001] The invention relates to the field of fruit and vegetable processing, and in particular to air-drying and draining equipment for fruit and vegetable agricultural products. Background Art
[0002] In the field of modern agricultural production and processing, the processing technology of fruit and vegetable agricultural products is one of the key links to ensure food safety and enhance product value. Among them, air-drying and draining, as an important step in the pretreatment of fruits and vegetables, is of great significance for reducing the moisture content in fruits and vegetables, extending the shelf life, and facilitating subsequent processing and packaging.
[0003] At present, when air-drying and draining fruit and vegetable agricultural products, a step-type mesh chain conveyor is usually used to transport the fruit and vegetables. By arranging a fan on the step-type mesh chain conveyor, the fruit and vegetable agricultural products can be air-dried and drained by blowing air on the fruit and vegetable agricultural products during transportation. However, when the above method is used to air-dry and drain fruit and vegetable agricultural products, since the fruit and vegetables are easily stacked together during transportation, when the fan blows air on the fruit and vegetable agricultural products, the fruit and vegetables stacked below or inside are easily not blown with air, resulting in poor air drying effect. In addition, when the leaves of some fruit and vegetable agricultural products are separated from the mesh chain conveyor, the leaves are easily adhered to the mesh chain conveyor, resulting in the holes of the mesh chain being blocked, thereby affecting the drainage of the holes of the mesh chain. Summary of the invention

[0036] When in use, the washed fruit and vegetable agricultural products are conveyed to the net chain formed by the toggle rod 5 and the chain 6, and then the fruit and vegetable agricultural products on the toggle rod 5 and the chain 6 are blown by the fan 2 to air dry the fruit and vegetable agricultural products. At the same time, the net chain formed by the toggle rod 5 and the chain 6 is driven by the belt conveyor 3 to operate, so that the net chain formed by the toggle rod 5 and the chain 6 gradually conveys the fruit and vegetable agricultural products to the right. When the rear end of the toggle rod 5 contacts the rack 9, the rack 9 squeezes the toggle rod 5 to move forward (during this period, the chain 6 is limited by the limiting plate 4, so that the chain 6 will not change its front and rear position with the toggle rod 5), the spring 8 is compressed, so that the toggle rod 5 drives the rubber block 7 to move forward, and when the rear end of the toggle rod 5 is separated from the rack 9, the spring 8 returns to its original state, and the spring 8 drives the toggle rod 5 to move backward and reset, so that the toggle rod 5 drives the rubber block 7 to move backward and reset.
