Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of flower preservation technology, and more specifically, to an apparatus and method for preparing three-dimensional preserved flowers. Background Technology

[0002] The content in this section only provides background information related to this invention and may not constitute prior art.

[0003] Preserved flowers, also known as preserved flowers, eco-friendly flowers, or dried flowers, are flowers that have undergone special treatment to maintain their fresh appearance and color for an extended period of time, often for several years or even longer. This process involves removing the moisture from the flowers and replacing it with a special solution to preserve the shape and color of the flowers.

[0004] The process of making preserved flowers generally includes the following steps: picking, selecting fresh, disease-free flowers, usually before they are fully open; drying, removing moisture from the flowers through natural drying or using special desiccants; dehydration, further removing moisture from the flowers under specific temperature and humidity conditions; dyeing, using special dyes to color the flowers to maintain or change their color; shaping, shaping the flowers to maintain their natural shape; and packaging, sealing the treated flowers in transparent containers or making them into bouquets or other decorations.

[0005] During the preparation of preserved flowers, especially in the drying and dehydration steps, the flowers lose their original moisture, which may cause the petals to become fragile and brittle. Since moisture is a key factor in maintaining the expansion of plant cells and the three-dimensional shape of flowers, the overall volume of the flowers will decrease after dehydration, and the petals may become flat. At the same time, during the dehydration process, since the flowers are completely buried by the desiccant, the weight of the desiccant will act on the flowers during the pouring of the desiccant, which will also cause the flowers to be compressed and become flatter, thus affecting the three-dimensionality of the flowers. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide a device and method for preparing preserved flowers with a three-dimensional effect, which can effectively improve the three-dimensional effect of preserved flowers.

[0007] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0008] On the one hand, the present invention provides an apparatus for preparing preserved flowers with a three-dimensional effect.

[0009] An apparatus for preparing three-dimensional preserved flowers includes a transparent box with an opening at the top. A sealing plate for closing the opening is provided on the box. A storage frame is provided inside the box, and several mounting parts are provided on the storage frame for holding flowers to be dried. A receiving box is slidably disposed horizontally inside the box, with an opening at the top and a through-hole at the bottom. A first driving assembly is provided on the box for moving the receiving box within the box. A sliding plate and a fixing plate are sequentially arranged vertically within the through-hole. A first through-hole is provided on the sliding plate along its length, and a second through-hole is provided on the fixing plate along its length. The first and second through-holes are offset. A second driving assembly is provided inside the receiving box for moving the sliding plate.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, in actual use, the flowers are placed on the mounting section, then the desiccant is laid at the bottom of the box and filled into the container. The storage frame is then placed inside the box, and the first drive assembly is activated to move the container within the box. Simultaneously, the second drive assembly moves the sliding plate. As the sliding plate moves, the first and second through holes intermittently overlap. At this time, the desiccant in the container can fall into the lower box through the first, second, and strip-shaped holes. The amount of desiccant falling at once is small, avoiding significant pressure on the flowers. By adding desiccant in small amounts multiple times to completely bury the flowers, the pressure caused by pouring out a large amount of desiccant at once is effectively avoided, thus effectively improving the three-dimensional preservation effect of the flowers during the drying and dehydration process.

[0011] In some possible embodiments, a horizontal groove is provided on the inner wall of the housing, and a slider is slidably disposed in the groove. The first drive assembly includes a lead screw and a drive motor. The lead screw is rotatably disposed in the groove along the length of the groove. The drive motor is fixedly disposed on the housing. The output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the lead screw for transmission. The slider is threaded onto the lead screw.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive motor is started to drive the lead screw to rotate in the slide groove. As the lead screw rotates, it drives the slider to move in the slide groove, which in turn drives the container to move in the box. The transmission is achieved through the interlocking threads between the lead screw and the slider, which is stable, precise and reliable. This ensures the uniformity of the desiccant spraying and further improves the protection effect on the flowers.

[0013] In some possible embodiments, the second drive assembly includes a drive shaft and a cam. Receiving grooves are formed on the sidewalls of the strip-shaped hole along its length. The sliding plate is slidably disposed within the receiving grooves in a direction perpendicular to its length. An installation cavity is formed within the receiving box. The cam is rotatably disposed within the installation cavity, which communicates with the receiving grooves. The outer peripheral wall of the cam abuts against the sidewall of the sliding plate. A first elastic element is provided within the receiving groove to drive the sliding plate to move towards the cam. The drive shaft is rotatably disposed within the installation cavity. The cam is coaxially fixedly sleeved on the drive shaft. The end of the drive shaft away from the cam is rotatably connected to a slider. A drive element for driving the drive shaft to rotate is provided on the slider.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, as the lead screw rotates, it drives the slider to move in the slide groove. At this time, the drive shaft is driven to rotate by the drive component, and the drive shaft drives the cam to rotate in the mounting cavity. Since the peripheral wall of the cam abuts against the sliding plate, and the eccentric setting of the cam causes the cam to continuously drive the sliding plate to move away from the cam during rotation, the sliding plate has a tendency to move towards the cam under the action of the first elastic element. Under the combined action of the two, the sliding plate can reciprocate in the receiving groove, thereby achieving intermittent overlap between the first through hole and the second through hole, so as to evenly pour the desiccant in the receiving box into the lower box, improving the practicality of the device.

[0015] In some possible embodiments, the driving component is configured as a gear, which is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the slider. A rack is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the slide along the length of the slide, and the rack meshes with the gear. The gear is coaxially and fixedly connected to the drive shaft.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, as the slider moves in the slide groove, the slider drives the gear to move in the slide groove. At the same time, since the gear meshes with the rack, it drives the gear to rotate. The gear drives the drive shaft to rotate and drives the cam to rotate. Finally, as the slider moves in the slide groove, the sliding plate also achieves reciprocating motion in the receiving groove. The movement of the receiving box in the box and the movement of the sliding plate in the receiving groove can be realized by the drive motor, which simplifies the structure and has good practicality.

[0017] In some possible embodiments, two receiving grooves are provided, which are respectively located on both sides of the strip hole. The length of the receiving groove is adapted to the length of the sliding plate. A connecting groove is provided on the side wall of the receiving groove away from the cam along the movement direction of the sliding plate. A connecting block is fixedly provided on the side wall of the sliding plate. The first elastic element is a compression spring, one end of which abuts against the inner wall of the connecting groove, and the other end abuts against the side wall of the connecting block.

[0018] In some possible embodiments, the lead screw is configured as a reciprocating lead screw with two helical grooves having opposite directions of rotation. The ends of the two helical grooves are connected to each other, and as the lead screw rotates, the slider can reciprocate within the grooves.

[0019] In some possible embodiments, an installation shaft is rotatably arranged within the shelf frame along the length of the strip hole. Several installation parts are evenly arranged on the installation shaft along its length. A through installation hole is provided at one end of each installation part to accommodate flowers. A strip groove is provided at the top of each installation part, with one end communicating with the installation hole. The strip groove is used to accommodate flower stems. A fixing member is provided on the installation part to limit the position of the flower stems within the strip groove. A limiting member is provided on the shelf frame to limit the position of the installation shaft on the shelf frame.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when drying flowers, the flower stems are placed in the strip groove, and the position of the flower stems in the strip groove is limited by the fixing component. At this time, the flower part is located in the mounting hole. Due to the through-hole setting of the mounting hole, the flower part can fully contact the desiccant that has been laid in advance at the bottom of the box, thereby ensuring the drying and dehydration effect of the flower. After drying and dehydration are completed, the shelf is lifted up to remove the flower from the desiccant. At this time, the limitation of the mounting shaft deflection angle by the limiting component is released, and the mounting part can be rotated to make the flower in an upside-down state. At this time, it is easy to remove the desiccant adhering to the flower, which further simplifies the operation and improves the protection effect of the dehydrated flower.

[0021] In some possible embodiments, the limiting member is configured as a limiting sleeve, which is slidably sleeved on the end of the mounting shaft along the length direction of the mounting shaft. A limiting hole is opened on one side of the storage frame, and one end of the mounting shaft is rotatably inserted into the limiting hole. The limiting member is disposed in the limiting hole, and an insertion block is fixedly disposed at one end of the limiting member. Several slots are evenly distributed along the circumference of the limiting hole on the inner wall of the limiting hole. The slots are used for inserting the insertion block. A second elastic member is disposed on the limiting member, which is used to drive the limiting member to move toward the limiting hole.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, pulling the limiting component causes the insert to disengage from the slot, which in turn causes the mounting shaft to deflect. After the rotation is completed, the limiting component is released, and under the action of the second elastic component, the limiting component moves toward the limiting hole and causes the insert to be inserted into the slot. At this time, the deflection angle of the mounting shaft can be limited. The operation is simple and convenient and has good practicality.

[0023] In some possible embodiments, a guide groove is formed on the inner wall of the limiting member along the axial direction of the limiting member, and a guide block is fixedly provided at the end of the mounting shaft. The guide block is slidably disposed in the guide groove. The second elastic member is a compression spring. The second elastic member is disposed in the guide groove. One end of the second elastic member is fixedly connected to the guide block, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the guide groove. A knob is coaxially fixedly provided at the end of the limiting member away from the mounting shaft. The diameter of the knob is larger than that of the limiting member, and anti-slip stripes are fixedly provided on the peripheral wall of the knob.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, during the pulling of the limiting component, as the limiting component moves, the guide block slides in the guide groove, thereby squeezing the second elastic component. When the limiting component is released, the second elastic component releases the stored elastic potential energy, thereby driving the limiting component to insert into the limiting hole. During this process, the side wall of the guide block and the inner wall of the guide groove are always in contact, which can ensure that the limiting component and the mounting shaft rotate synchronously. At the same time, the anti-slip texture can also increase the friction between the knobs on the operator's hand, further facilitating the operator to drive the mounting shaft to rotate.

[0025] On the other hand, this application also provides a method for preparing preserved flowers.

[0026] A method for preparing preserved flowers, using a three-dimensional preserved flower preparation device as described above, includes the following steps:

[0027] Adjust the deflection angle of the mounting shaft to ensure the mounting section is horizontal within the storage frame. Then, place the flowers (with surface water droplets naturally dried) on the mounting plate. Open the sealing plate and evenly spread the desiccant at the bottom of the box, ensuring a thickness of 2-3 cm. Place the storage frame into the box from top to bottom, ensuring the flowers in the mounting holes are in contact with the desiccant at the bottom of the box. Pour the desiccant into the storage box through the opening at the top of the box and start the drive motor. The drive motor, by rotating the lead screw, causes the storage box to move horizontally back and forth within the box. Simultaneously, it causes the sliding plate to vibrate back and forth within the slotted holes, intermittently aligning the first and second through holes. Sprinkle the desiccant evenly into the box; completely bury the flowers with the desiccant and close the sealing plate to make the box airtight; observe the state of the desiccant inside the box through the transparent box. If the desiccant clumps or changes color, restart the drive motor to replenish the desiccant inside the box; dehydrate and dry the flowers for 7-14 days to complete the dehydration and drying process; move the storage frame upward to remove the dehydrated flowers from the desiccant, and rotate the mounting shaft to hang the flowers upside down to remove the desiccant from the flowers; release the fixing parts that restrict the position of the flower stems in the strip groove and take out the dehydrated flowers.

[0028] In summary, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention have at least the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0029] 1. As the sliding plate moves, the first and second through holes intermittently overlap. At this time, the desiccant in the container can fall into the lower box through the first, second, and strip holes. The amount of desiccant falling at one time is small and will not put too much pressure on the flowers. By adding desiccant in small amounts multiple times to completely bury the flowers, it is possible to avoid the pressure caused by pouring a large amount of desiccant at one time, thereby effectively improving the three-dimensional effect of the flowers during the drying and dehydration process.

[0030] 2. When the slider moves in the slide groove, it drives the gear to move in the slide groove. Since the gear meshes with the rack, it drives the gear to rotate. The gear drives the cam to rotate, so that as the slider moves in the slide groove, the sliding plate also reciprocates in the receiving groove. By driving the motor, the movement of the receiving box in the box and the movement of the sliding plate in the receiving groove can be realized, which simplifies the structure and has good practicality.

[0031] 3. After drying and dehydration are complete, lift the storage frame upwards to remove the flowers from the desiccant. At this point, release the limiting part from restricting the rotation angle of the mounting shaft, and you can rotate the mounting part to make the flowers hang upside down. This makes it easy to remove the desiccant residue from the flowers, further simplifying the operation and improving the protection of the flowers after dehydration.

[0032] 4. Pull the limiting piece to disengage the insert from the slot. This will cause the mounting shaft to deflect. After the rotation is complete, release the limiting piece. Under the action of the second elastic element, the limiting piece moves toward the limiting hole and causes the insert to be inserted into the slot. This will limit the deflection angle of the mounting shaft. The operation is simple and convenient and has good practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0044] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, 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. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0045] The following is for reference Figures 1 to 10 The present invention will be described in further detail below.

[0046] On the one hand, this application provides an apparatus for preparing a three-dimensional preserved flower.

[0047] Reference Figure 1An apparatus for preparing a three-dimensional preserved flower includes a transparent box 1. In one embodiment of this application, the box 1 can be made of glass or transparent polymer plastic. The top of the box 1 is open, and a sealing plate 11 for closing the opening is provided on the box 1. In one embodiment of this application, a sealing strip can be provided between the sealing plate 11 and the box 1, and the sealing plate 11 and the box 1 can be fastened by bolts.

[0048] Reference Figure 2 , 3 A storage frame 2 is provided inside the box body 1, and several mounting parts 21 are provided on the storage frame 2. The mounting parts 21 are used to hold flowers to be dried. A container box 3 is slidably arranged in the horizontal direction inside the box body 1. The container box 3 has an opening at the top, and a baffle 31 is also installed on the top of the container box 3 to close the opening at the top. Figure 4 As shown, a through slotted hole 32 is provided at the bottom of the receiving box 3. A first driving component 4 is provided on the box body 1. The first driving component 4 is used to drive the receiving box 3 to move within the box body 1. A sliding plate 33 and a fixed plate 34 are arranged in sequence along the vertical direction within the slotted hole 32. A second driving component 5 is provided inside the receiving box 3. The second driving component 5 is used to drive the sliding plate 33 to move.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, a first through hole 35 is provided on the sliding plate 33 along the length direction of the sliding plate 33, and a second through hole 36 is provided on the fixed plate 34 along the length direction of the fixed plate 34. The first through hole 35 and the second through hole 36 are staggered. As one embodiment of this application, see below. Figure 5 The first through hole 35 has two holes, and the second through hole 36 has three holes.

[0050] Reference Figure 2 , 3 A sliding groove 12 is provided on the inner wall of the housing 1 in the horizontal direction, and a slider 13 is slidably arranged in the sliding groove 12. As one embodiment of this application, the first drive assembly 4 includes a lead screw 41 and a drive motor 42. The lead screw 41 is rotatably arranged in the sliding groove 12 along the length direction of the sliding groove 12. The drive motor 42 is fixedly arranged on the housing 1. The output shaft of the drive motor 42 is connected to the lead screw 41 for transmission. The slider 13 is threadedly sleeved on the lead screw 41.

[0051] Reference Figure 2 , 3 An auxiliary groove 43 is provided on the inner wall of the housing 1 away from the slide groove 12. The length of the auxiliary groove 43 is adapted to the slide groove 12. An auxiliary block 44 is slidably arranged in the auxiliary groove 43. An auxiliary rod 45 is fixedly arranged in the auxiliary groove 43. The auxiliary block 44 is slidably sleeved on the auxiliary rod 45.

[0052] The drive motor 42 is started, which drives the lead screw 41 to rotate in the slide groove 12. As the lead screw 41 rotates, it drives the slider 13 to move in the slide groove 12, which in turn drives the container 3 to move in the box 1. The transmission is achieved through the interlocking threads between the lead screw 41 and the slider 13. The transmission is stable and precise, with good reliability, which ensures the uniformity of desiccant spraying and further improves the protection effect on flowers.

[0053] Reference Figure 3 , 4 The second drive assembly 5 includes a drive shaft 51 and a cam 52. Receiving grooves 6 are provided on the sidewalls of the strip-shaped hole 32 along its length. The sliding plate 33 is slidably disposed within the receiving grooves 6 in a direction perpendicular to its length. An installation cavity 61 is provided within the receiving box 3. The cam 52 is rotatably disposed within the installation cavity 61, which communicates with the receiving grooves 6. The outer peripheral wall of the cam 52 abuts against the sidewall of the sliding plate 33. A first elastic element 62 is provided within the receiving groove 6, which drives the sliding plate 33 to move towards the cam 52. The drive shaft 51 is rotatably disposed within the installation cavity 61. The cam 52 is coaxially fixedly sleeved on the drive shaft 51. The end of the drive shaft 51 away from the cam 52 is rotatably connected to the slider 13. A drive element 63 for driving the drive shaft 51 to rotate is provided on the slider 13.

[0054] As the lead screw 41 rotates, it drives the slider 13 to move within the slide groove 12. At this time, the drive shaft 51 rotates via the drive member 63, and the drive shaft 51 drives the cam 52 to rotate within the mounting cavity 61. Since the peripheral wall of the cam 52 abuts against the sliding plate 33, and the eccentric setting of the cam 52 causes the cam 52 to continuously drive the sliding plate 33 to move away from the cam 52 during rotation, the sliding plate 33 also has a tendency to move towards the cam 52 under the action of the first elastic member 62. Under the combined action of the two, the sliding plate 33 can reciprocate within the receiving groove 6, thereby enabling the first through hole 35 and the second through hole 36 to intermittently overlap, thus evenly pouring the desiccant in the receiving box 3 into the lower box 1, improving the practicality of the device.

[0055] Among them, reference Figure 4In one embodiment of this application, the driving component 63 is configured as a gear, which is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the slider 13. A rack 64 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the slide groove 12 along the length of the slide groove 12, and the rack 64 meshes with the gear. The gear is coaxially and fixedly connected to the drive shaft 51. As the slider 13 moves within the slide groove 12, the slider 13 drives the gear to move within the slide groove 12. Simultaneously, due to the meshing of the gear and the rack 64, the gear rotates, which in turn drives the drive shaft 51 to rotate and the cam 52 to rotate. Ultimately, as the slider 13 moves within the slide groove 12, the sliding plate 33 also reciprocates within the receiving groove 6. The movement of the receiving box 3 within the housing 1 and the movement of the sliding plate 33 within the receiving groove 6 can be achieved by driving the motor 42, simplifying the structure and providing better practicality.

[0056] Reference Figure 4 , 6 Two receiving grooves 6 are provided, one on each side of the strip-shaped hole 32. The length of the receiving grooves 6 is adapted to the length of the sliding plate 33. A connecting groove 65 is provided on the side wall of the receiving groove 6 away from the cam 52 along the movement direction of the sliding plate 33. A connecting block 66 is fixedly provided on the side wall of the sliding plate 33. As one embodiment of this application, see reference. Figure 6 The first elastic element 62 is configured as a compression spring, with one end of the compression spring abutting against the inner wall of the connecting groove 65 and the other end abutting against the side wall of the connecting block 66.

[0057] As one embodiment of this application, refer to Figure 3 The lead screw 41 is configured as a reciprocating lead screw, and two spiral grooves with opposite directions are provided on the lead screw 41. The ends of the two spiral grooves are connected to each other. As the lead screw 41 rotates, the slider 13 can reciprocate within the groove 12.

[0058] Reference Figure 7 , 8 An installation shaft 7 is rotatably arranged within the storage frame 2 along the length of the strip hole 32. Several installation parts 21 are evenly arranged on the installation shaft 7 along the length of the installation shaft 7. A through installation hole 71 is provided at one end of each installation part 21 to accommodate flowers. A strip groove 72 is provided at the top of the installation part 21, with one end communicating with the installation hole 71. The strip groove 72 is used to accommodate flower stems. A fixing member 73 is provided on the installation part 21 to limit the position of the flower stems within the strip groove 72. A limiting member 8 is provided on the storage frame 2 to limit the position of the installation shaft 7 on the storage frame 2. In one embodiment of this application, the fixing member 73 is set as a strap, and two fixing members 73 are provided on each installation part 21 along the length of the strip groove 72.

[0059] When drying flowers, the flower stems are placed in the strip groove 72, and the position of the flower stems in the strip groove 72 is limited by the fixing member 73. At this time, the flower part is located in the mounting hole 71. Due to the through setting of the mounting hole 71, the flower part can fully contact the desiccant that has been laid in advance at the bottom of the box 1, thereby ensuring the drying and dehydration effect of the flower. After drying and dehydration are completed, the storage frame 2 is lifted up to remove the flower from the desiccant. At this time, the limitation of the limiting member 8 on the deflection angle of the mounting shaft 7 is released, and the mounting part 21 can be rotated to make the flower in an upside-down state. At this time, it is easy to remove the desiccant adhering to the flower, which further simplifies the operation and improves the protection effect of the dehydrated flower.

[0060] As one embodiment of this application, refer to Figure 8 , 9 and Figure 10 The limiting member 8 is configured as a limiting sleeve. The limiting member 8 is slidably sleeved on the end of the mounting shaft 7 along the length direction of the mounting shaft 7. A limiting hole 81 is opened on one side of the storage frame 2. One end of the mounting shaft 7 is rotatably inserted into the limiting hole 81. The limiting member 8 is set in the limiting hole 81. An insert 82 is fixedly set on one end of the limiting member 8. Several slots 83 are evenly opened on the inner wall of the limiting hole 81 along the circumference of the limiting hole 81. The slots 83 are used for inserting the insert 82. A second elastic member 84 is provided on the limiting member 8. The second elastic member 84 is used to drive the limiting member 8 to move toward the limiting hole 81.

[0061] Pulling the limiting member 8 causes the insert 82 to disengage from the slot 83, which in turn causes the mounting shaft 7 to deflect. After the rotation is complete, the limiting member 8 is released. Under the action of the second elastic member 84, the limiting member 8 moves toward the limiting hole 81 and causes the insert 82 to be inserted into the slot 83. At this time, the deflection angle of the mounting shaft 7 can be limited. The operation is simple and convenient and has good practicality.

[0062] Among them, reference Figure 9 A guide groove 85 is provided on the inner wall of the limiting member 8 along the axial direction of the limiting member 8. A guide block 86 is fixedly provided at the end of the mounting shaft 7. The guide block 86 is slidably provided in the guide groove 85. The second elastic member 84 is a compression spring. The second elastic member 84 is provided in the guide groove 85. One end of the second elastic member 84 is fixedly connected to the guide block 86, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the guide groove 85. A knob 87 is fixedly provided coaxially at the end of the limiting member 8 away from the mounting shaft 7. The diameter of the knob 87 is larger than that of the limiting member 8. Anti-slip stripes 88 are fixedly provided on the peripheral wall of the knob 87.

[0063] During the pulling of the limiting member 8, as the limiting member 8 moves, the guide block 86 slides in the guide groove 85, thereby squeezing the second elastic member 84. When the limiting member 8 is released, the second elastic member 84 releases the stored elastic potential energy, thereby driving the limiting member 8 to insert into the limiting hole 81. During this process, the side wall of the guide block 86 and the inner wall of the guide groove 85 are always in contact, which can ensure that the limiting member 8 and the mounting shaft 7 rotate synchronously. At the same time, the anti-slip texture can also increase the friction between the knob 87 of the operator's hand, further facilitating the operator to drive the mounting shaft 7 to rotate.

[0064] On the other hand, this application also provides a method for preparing preserved flowers.

[0065] A method for preparing preserved flowers, using a three-dimensional preserved flower preparation device as described above, includes the following steps:

[0066] Adjust the deflection angle of the mounting shaft 7 so that the mounting part 21 is horizontal within the storage frame 2. Then, place the flowers, whose surface water droplets have naturally dried, on the mounting plate. Open the sealing plate 11 and evenly spread the desiccant on the bottom of the box 1, making the desiccant thickness 2-3cm. Place the storage frame 2 into the box 1 from top to bottom, ensuring that the flowers in the mounting holes 71 are in contact with the desiccant at the bottom of the box 1. Pour the desiccant into the storage box 3 through the top opening of the storage box 3, and start the drive motor 42. The drive motor 42 drives the lead screw 41 to rotate, thereby causing the storage box 3 to move horizontally back and forth within the box 1. At the same time, it causes the sliding plate 33 to vibrate back and forth within the strip hole 32, causing the first through hole 35 and the second through hole 36 to vibrate. Intermittent overlap ensures that the desiccant in container 3 is evenly distributed into box 1; the desiccant completely covers the flowers, and the sealing plate 11 is closed to seal the box 1; the state of the desiccant inside box 1 is observed through the transparent box 1, and if the desiccant clumps or changes color, the drive motor 42 is restarted to replenish the desiccant in box 1; the flowers are dehydrated and dried for 7-14 days to complete the dehydration and drying process; the storage frame 2 is moved upward to remove the desiccant from the flowers, and the mounting shaft 7 is rotated to hang the flowers upside down to remove the desiccant from the flowers; the fixing piece 73 is released from restricting the position of the flower stems in the strip groove 72, and the dehydrated flowers are taken out.
