A hanger and a mounting ear plate are installed at the connection between the heating rods 17 and the preheating box 13, and the hanger and the mounting ear plate are locked by bolts.

[0040] Several groups of germicidal lamps 18 are installed inside the sterilization box 14. The germicidal lamps 18 are distributed in an array. The germicidal lamps 18 are electrically connected to the control cabinet 3. A control button is installed on the outside of the control cabinet 3, and a control circuit board and a battery are installed inside the control cabinet.

[0041] A fan 19 is installed on the upper end of the drying box 12 by bolts, and the fan 19 is electrically connected to the control cabinet 3. A duct 20 is installed at the output end of the fan 19. The fan 19 and the drying box 12 are connected through the duct 20, and the duct 20 is a plastic structure.

[0043] In this embodiment, during the use of the preheating box 13 and the sterilizing box 14, the output end of the spoiler motor 161 is controlled by the control cabinet 3 to drive the connecting shaft 162 to rotate, so that the output end of the connecting shaft 162 drives the fan blade 163 to rotate at a high speed, so that the heat heated by the heating rod 17 is quickly transferred downward, and the tomato particles on the upper end of the conveyor belt 4 are evenly preheated, which is convenient for subsequent drying and heating, reduces the drying time, improves the drying efficiency, and prevents the high-temperature outer surface of the tomato particles from being burnt, which affects the appearance;

[0044] During the operation of the conveyor belt 4, the control cabinet 3 controls several groups of heating rods 17 to operate simultaneously, and the temperature inside the preheating box 13 is initially raised to make the temperature lower than the temperature inside the drying box 12, so as to preheat the tomato pieces.

During the rising process of the baffle body 154, the distance sensor 157 detects the rising height of the extension plate 155 under the support of the auxiliary block 156. When the distance sensor 157 detects that the height reaches the set interval value, it is fed back to the control circuit board to control the output end of the electric push rod 153 to stop running, and automatically adjust the height of the baffle body 154, so that the tomato grains enter the preheating box 13 for preheating.

[0049] The output end of the spoiler motor 161 drives the connecting shaft 162 to rotate, so that the output end of the connecting shaft 162 drives the fan blade 163 to rotate at a high speed, so that the heat heated by the heating rod 17 moves downward quickly, and the tomato pieces on the upper end of the conveyor belt 4 are evenly preheated, which is convenient for subsequent drying and heating, reduces the drying time, improves the drying efficiency, and prevents the high-temperature outer surface of the tomato pieces from being burnt, which affects the appearance;

[0050] Then it enters the interior of the drying box 12, and the external air is sucked into the interior of the filter box 21 through the air inlet pipe 22 through the input end of the fan 19. After being filtered by the filter plate, the gas enters the interior of the drying box 12 through the conduit 20. Under the condition of being heated by the wind heating pipe 23, the heated gas is evenly blown to the upper end of the tomato particles through the diverter rack for drying. It is dried at high temperature through the wind heating pipe 23, and finally sterilized through the interior of the sterilization box 14, and finally discharged from the discharge hopper 11.
