[0003] In order to facilitate continuous and efficient air drying, the hot air drying devices currently on the market place the processed pet food on a conveyor belt for transportation. Afterwards, when the food reaches the bottom of the air drying device, it is dried by the hot air inside to complete the drying work. However, generally, the food is in a relatively moist state before air drying. When it is transported along the conveyor belt, the food often sticks to the conveyor belt after the drying is completed with the air drying function. Therefore, the subsequent dried food will stick to the conveyor belt when it is unloaded, making it difficult to unload the food completely. Utility Model Content

When the food is moved by the conveyor belt 2 to the inside of the air-drying body 5, it will be dried by the hot air inside. During the drying process, since the paddle plate 6 is always in a state of being controlled by the moving mechanism 7 to scrape the food on the conveyor belt 2, it can ensure that the food is paddled to prevent it from sticking to the conveyor belt 2. After that, the food after drying will continue to be transmitted along with the conveyor belt 2, and finally separated from the conveyor belt 2 to complete the discharge.

[0039] Specifically, according to Figure 1 As shown, the support base 1 includes:

[0040] A fixed bottom plate 11 is provided in a plate-like structure, and support plates 12 are fixedly installed at the top positions of both sides above the fixed bottom plate 11;

[0047] Specifically, when the driving motor 4 is started, the motor at its top will drive the driving shaft 32 to rotate, and when the driving shaft 32 rotates, it will drive the driving disk 31 at its top to rotate, and when the driving disk 31 rotates, it will also drive the external conveyor belt 34 to transmit, thereby completing the effect of controlling the rotation of the driven disk 33, and when the driven disk 33 rotates, it will also cause the rotating shaft in the middle of the rotating roller 21 to rotate, thereby completing the transmission work of the conveyor belt 2 when the rotating roller 21 rotates.

[0048] Specifically, according to Figure 3-5 As shown, the moving mechanism 7 comprises:

[0049] A connecting shaft 71 is coaxially connected to the middle of the driving disk 31, and the middle position of the connecting shaft 71 is connected to a rotating gear 72, and the rotating gear 72 is a half gear structure;

[0052] The top of the sliding block 75 engages with the sliding groove on the inner side of the fixed horizontal plate 13 and slides;

[0053] The cross section of the toggle plate 6 is arranged in a trapezoidal structure, and its bottom is in contact with the surface of the conveyor belt 2, and the top of the toggle plate 6 is a smooth surface;

[0054] Specifically, when the active disk 31 rotates, its top end will also drive the connecting shaft 71 coaxially connected thereto to rotate, and when the connecting shaft 71 rotates, it will drive the rotating gear 72 in the middle thereof to rotate, and when the rotating gear 72 rotates, it will mesh with the tooth blocks inside the moving frame 73, so that the moving frame 73 will move back and forth, and when the moving frame 73 moves back and forth, it will drive the connecting frame 76 connected thereto to move back and forth, and because the top end of the connecting frame 76 and the paddle plate 6 move back and forth on the conveyor belt 2, the food adhered thereto will be scraped off, so as to achieve the effect of preventing adhesion, and finally, the dried food will continue to move with the conveyor belt 2 and finally be discharged;

[0055] In the present application, when the connecting frame 76 moves, the sliding block 75 will also move. Since the sliding block 75 is in the limiting groove on the inner side of the fixed horizontal plate 13, the effect of limiting the moving mechanism 7 is achieved.
