[0025] Please refer to Figures 6-8Further based on the embodiment, the manual adjustment assembly comprises a fixed mounting seat 701 fixedly connected to the manual support seat 4, a rotating worm 702 rotatably connected to the fixed mounting seat 701, a manual rocker 703 clamped to the rotating worm 702, a first rotating shaft 704 rotatably connected to the manual support seat 4, a rotating worm wheel 705 fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 704, a first transmission wheel 706 fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 704, and a first transmission tooth chain 707 transmissionally connected to the first transmission wheel 706. The rotating worm 702 is meshingly connected to the rotating worm wheel 705. The manual rocker 703 is rotatably connected to the fixed mounting seat 701. The rotating worm 702 is rotated on the fixed mounting seat 701 by the manual rocker 703.

By providing the clamping groove corresponding to the manual rocker 703 on the rotating worm 702 and clamping the manual rocker 703 in the clamping groove, the connection between the manual rocker 703 and the rotating worm 702 can be ensured firm, so as to avoid slipping or falling during manual rotation of the manual rocker 703.
[0027] Please refer to Figures 6-8 Further based on the embodiment, two first rotating shafts 704 are provided and symmetrically rotatably connected to the manual support seat 4.

The problems such as uneven force and transmission fluctuation that may occur during transmission of a single first rotating shaft 704 can be avoided. The abrasion of the first transmission wheel 706, the first transmission tooth chain 707, and the first rotating shaft 704 themselves can be reduced, and the service life of these components can be prolonged.
[0028] Working principle: after the motor is started, the connecting rotating shaft 802 at the output end is driven to rotate clockwise, driving the first gear 803 on the shaft to rotate synchronously. Because the first gear 803 is engaged with the second gear 805 on the second rotating shaft 804, power is transmitted to the two symmetrically distributed second rotating shafts 804, so that the second transmission wheels 806 at the shaft ends rotate. The second transmission wheels 806 are engaged with the tooth grooves of the second transmission chain 807 through the teeth, driving the second transmission chain 807 to stably transmit power. The second transmission chain 807 is further engaged with the transmission grooves 904 of the transmission connecting belt 901 in the conveying assembly, driving the transmission connecting belt 901 to move in the preset direction. The fixed mounting block 902 on the transmission connecting belt 901 is provided with symmetrically distributed transmission rollers 903, which can reduce the friction between the connecting belt and the conveying track 1 and ensure smooth movement. The hooks 6 installed on the transmission connecting belt 901 hang the kelp and move along the connecting belt according to the predetermined path through the drying area, achieving uniform drying. When the motor fails or needs to be adjusted, the manual adjustment assembly can be enabled: rotating the manual rocker 703 clamped in the rotating worm 702 slot drives the rotating worm 702 to rotate, which is engaged with the rotating worm wheel 705, so that the two symmetric first rotating shafts 704 and the first transmission wheels 706 rotate, and the first transmission chain 707 further drives the conveying assembly, ensuring the continuous operation of the device.
