Since its production process does not involve heating or boiling, it is considered a cold processing process, but some products also require heating.
[0003] A Chinese invention patent with publication number CN104534825A disclosed a hot air seed dryer on April 22, 2015, which includes a box body, vents are arranged on the top and bottom of the box body, at least two layers of screen fixing frames are arranged inside the box body, screens are arranged on the screen fixing frames, and the screens are not in contact with the inner wall of the box body, aeration pipes are arranged between the two screen pieces, aeration holes are arranged above and below the aeration pipes, the aeration pipes are connected to the bell-mouth pipe outside the box body, and the large mouth direction of the bell-mouth pipe is connected to the drying blower device.
[0004] However, the above-mentioned disclosed solution has the following shortcomings: the wind line of the existing dryer is a unidirectional movement, and the moving range in the container is large, resulting in that the water evaporated by heat in the compressed candy cannot be discharged in time, and can only accumulate and move to the vicinity of the compressed candy below, thereby making the air humidity of the compressed candy below high, and it is impossible to evaporate the water at the fastest speed to achieve the drying effect. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] The utility model discloses a drying box for producing compressed candies, comprising a heat preservation box; a plurality of sealing slots are provided on both sides of the opening of the heat preservation box; a placing rack is sealably inserted in the sealing slots; a plurality of universal wheels are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the placing rack; a plurality of multi-layer limiting slots are provided in the placing rack; a discharge slot is provided on the reverse side of the placing rack; a plurality of ventilation holes are connected to and opened in the discharge slot corresponding to the limiting slots; a plurality of side air outlets are provided on both sides of the opening of the heat preservation box corresponding to the limiting slots; an air inlet is connected to and opened on the side air outlet; a hot air heating unit is provided on the air inlet.

[0010] Furthermore, a heat-insulating material is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the heat-insulating box.
[0011] Furthermore, a plurality of plugs are plugged into the corresponding air inlets in the thermal insulation box.
[0012] The utility model provides a drying box for producing tablet candies, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. The utility model places the compressed candy to be heated directly in the limiting groove, or uses a tray to place it in the limiting groove, and then moves the placement rack to be inserted into the sealing slot to complete the sealing and fixing. Then the hot air heating unit is powered on for heating, and the generated dry hot air enters the upper part of the limiting groove along the air inlet and the side air outlet, contacts and heats the compressed candy, removes the internal moisture, and the generated water vapor enters the discharge groove along the ventilation hole and is discharged to the outside of the drying box. The water vapor generated by the heating of the compressed candy in each limiting groove will immediately enter the discharge groove along the ventilation hole of a single route along the moving hot air and be discharged, so that it will not contact with other compressed candies above and below, and the generated water vapor will be discharged at the first time, so that the drying efficiency is high, and the air inlet of one route can be closed separately, so that when drying a small amount, it is not necessary to heat all the limiting grooves, thereby achieving energy saving and emission reduction, and solving the problem that the existing drying box cannot seal the local space for rapid heating and dehumidification for energy-saving heating;
[0014] 2. The utility model generates precisely controllable heat by energizing the electric heating plate, and then the fan transports the heat along the air inlet and the side air outlet to the heat preservation box for drying and heating the pressed candies placed in the limiting grooves. The water vapor generated by the heating is discharged to the outside of the equipment through the ventilation holes and the discharge grooves. Under the multi-layer independent sealing of the placement rack, the water vapor generated by the heating of each layer can be discharged separately without contacting with other pressed candies to cause repeated heating and slow water vapor movement, thereby solving the problem that the existing drying box has no space for independent heating and drying.

The water vapor generated by the heating of the compressed candy in each limiting groove 5 will immediately enter the discharge groove 6 along the ventilation hole 7 of a single route along the moving hot air and be discharged, so that it will not contact other compressed candies above and below, and the generated water vapor will be discharged at the first time, so that the drying efficiency is high, and the air inlet 11 of a route can be closed separately, so that when a small amount of drying is performed, it is not necessary to heat all the limiting grooves 5, thereby achieving energy saving and emission reduction, and solving the problem that the existing drying box cannot seal the local space for rapid heating and dehumidification for energy-saving heating.
[0027] The hot air heating unit includes an electric heating plate 16; the electric heating plate 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heat preservation box 1; the heat preservation box 1 is fixedly connected with a heat insulation plate 17 at intervals corresponding to the electric heating plate 16; the heat insulation plate 17 is slotted and fixedly connected with a plurality of fans 18; the heat preservation box 1 is fixedly connected with a filter 19 corresponding to the fan 18; when working, the electric heating plate 16 is energized to generate precisely controllable heat, and then the fan 18 transports the heat along the air inlet 11 and the side air outlet 10 into the heat preservation box 1 and the pressed candies placed in the limiting groove 5 for drying and heating, and the water vapor generated by the heating is discharged to the outside of the equipment along the ventilation hole 7 and the discharge groove 6, and under the multi-layer independent sealing of the placement rack 3, the water vapor generated by the heating of each layer can be discharged separately, without contacting with other pressed candies to cause repeated heating and slow water vapor movement speed, thereby solving the problem that the existing drying box has no space for independent heating and drying.
