[0019] Further, the top of the combustion cavity is close to the bottom of the rolling roller, the temperature of this area plays a crucial role in the drying process of the fresh grass fruit placed on the rolling roller, the sensing probe of the high-temperature thermometer is extended to this position to directly measure the temperature closest to the heat source of the grass fruit drying; the high-temperature thermometer monitors the temperature of the top of the combustion cavity in real time to provide accurate temperature data for the operator, which can help the operator understand the running state of the combustion furnace and ensure that the equipment runs in a safe and effective drying temperature range.

[0020] Further, the closed feeding port can reduce the amount of external air entering to adjust the speed and intensity of combustion; and can guide the flow of gas in the combustion furnace, that is, the air below the grid enters and is discharged from the smoke exhaust port; the closed feeding port can reduce the interference of external factors on the combustion environment in the combustion furnace to ensure the stability of combustion; and the closed feeding port can reduce heat loss in the combustion furnace to improve energy utilization efficiency, so that the heat in the combustion furnace more concentratedly acts on the rolling roller and the fresh grass fruit to improve the drying efficiency.

[0042] The related setting of the rolling rollers 20 is as follows:

[0043] Specifically, the rolling rollers 20 are made of materials that can quickly transfer heat and are resistant to burning, such as metal materials.

[0044] Specifically, the two ends of the rolling rollers 20 are rotatably arranged on the combustion furnace 10 through bearings.

[0045] The related setting of the combustion furnace 10 is as follows:

[0046] Specifically, for the feeding port:

The tapered design makes the cross-sectional area of the smoke exhaust channel 12 gradually decrease from the smoke inlet to the upper opening. According to the principle of fluid mechanics, the flow rate of fluid increases when it passes through a tapered channel. Therefore, the flow rate of hot exhaust gas in the smoke exhaust channel 12 increases as the channel narrows; the tapered smoke exhaust channel 12 forms a certain negative pressure at the smoke inlet during operation. This negative pressure effect can enhance the suction effect on the exhaust gas in the combustion furnace 10, and facilitate the smooth entry of exhaust gas into the smoke exhaust channel 12.

[0055] Specifically, the protective plate 15 can be made of reinforced tempered glass.

[0056] Specifically, for the outer side wall of the combustion furnace 10:

[0057] In the optional solution of the embodiment, preferably, an aluminum silicate insulation fiber layer is arranged on the outer side wall of the combustion furnace 10.

After the above operation, ignite the fuel, push the furnace door handle 131 and half close the furnace door 13, then keep the fuel burning all the time. Five minutes after the fuel is ignited, the contact between each rolling roller 20 and the fuel is completed, and then the fresh grass fruit is evenly placed on each rolling roller 20. Since the fuel releases a large amount of heat, the rolling roller 20 is heated and transfers heat to the fresh grass fruit. Under the action of the driver 30, each rolling roller 20 rotates. The operator observes the high-temperature thermometer 40, controls the fuel burning condition, and adjusts the temperature to keep it at 150℃-180℃. After ten minutes of baking process, pay attention to the color, aroma and touch of the grass fruit.

[0070] When the drying work is completed, the fuel on the grid 17 can be physically extinguished after it is completely burned out. The combustion furnace 10 is placed until the surface temperature of each rolling roller 20 returns to room temperature. The in-situ fresh grass fruit dryer 100 should be placed in a dry environment during non-working period, and high-temperature fire-resistant anti-rust paint should be brushed regularly to prolong its service life.

[0071] The principles and implementation manners of the present application are described by using specific examples in the present application, and the above examples are only used for helping to understand the method of the present application and its core idea; meanwhile, for the general technical personnel in the art, according to the idea of the present application, the specific implementation manners and application ranges will be changed.
