Supporting crossbars 6 are equidistantly arranged between the two sets of supporting uprights 5 near and away from the opening of the drying chamber 2. A tray 7 is provided on the upper side of each supporting crossbar 6. A flipping plate 8 is provided on the inner bottom surface of each tray 7. Side plates 9 are rotatably installed on both sides of each flipping plate 8. A connecting block 10 is provided in the middle of the upper side of each side plate 9. An electric telescopic rod 11 is provided on the upper side of the dryer body 1 corresponding to the connecting block 10. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 11 passes through the dryer body. A pull rod is provided on the inner side of the body 1, and hooks 12 are provided on the sides of the pull rod. The hooks 12 are connected to the connecting block 10. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 11 extends and retracts alternately, driving the pull rod to move up and down. Finally, the two ends of the flipping plate 8 will swing up and down alternately under the action of the side plate 9. The granular food on the upper side of the flipping plate 8 will move repeatedly with the swing, and the inner granules will be exposed with the swing, which is convenient for the hot air to dry the granular food quickly and evenly, greatly increasing the drying efficiency of the granular food. The lower side of each of the support uprights 5 is provided with casters 13. The casters 13 facilitate the overall movement of the support uprights 5, making it easy to remove and put the flipping plate 8 as a whole from the drying chamber 2. A group of support uprights 5 away from the opening of the drying chamber 2 are connected to each other. On the opposite side, a limiting block 14 is provided. A limiting block 2 18 is located close to the upper side of the limiting block 14. The limiting block 2 18 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drying chamber 2. The limiting blocks 14 and 2 18 facilitate the restraint of the supporting rod 5 through friction and compression, making it less prone to movement and thus maintaining the stability of the tray 7 and the flipping plate 8 during drying. A glass window 4 is provided in the middle of the cabinet door 3, allowing for observation of the food drying process inside the drying chamber 2. The bottom surface of the tray 7 and the flipping plate 8 are both made of fine mesh, which facilitates hot air circulation and helps moisture dissipate quickly. On the lower side of the tray 7, corresponding to the side of the supporting crossbar 6 that is close to each other, a locking block 15 is provided. The locking block 15 engages with the supporting crossbar 6. A positioning block 16 is provided between the locking blocks 15. A telescopic rod is provided on one side of the locking block 15 near the positioning block 16.

The positioning block 16 is set to press the locking block 15 through the spring 17, so that the locking block 15 can lock the supporting crossbar 6 and keep the tray 7 stable. By compressing the spring 17, the locking block 15 on the side away from the spring 17 is disengaged from the supporting crossbar 6 without affecting the quick disassembly of the tray 7. A bottom plate 19 is provided on the inner bottom surface of the drying chamber 2. A handle is provided on the upper side of the bottom plate 19. The bottom plate 19 is provided to facilitate the collection and removal of food scraps.

[0032] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0033] In use, place the granular food in tray 7, then place the support pole 5 and tray 7 into the drying chamber 2, close the cabinet door 3, and start the dryer body 1. The dryer body 1 circulates hot air to dry the food in the drying chamber 2. During the drying process, start the electric telescopic rod 11. The output ends of the electric telescopic rods 11 on both sides repeatedly extend and retract. The output ends of the electric telescopic rods 11 drive the pull rod to move up and down. The pull rod drives the connecting block 10 to move through the hook 12. The connecting block 10 drives the flipping plate 8 to move through the side plate 9. Because the output ends of the electric telescopic rods 11 extend and retract alternately, the two ends of the flipping plate 8 will swing up and down alternately under the action of the side plate 9. The granular food on the upper side of the flipping plate 8 will move repeatedly with the swing, and the inner granules will be exposed with the swing, which facilitates the hot air to dry the granular food quickly and evenly, greatly increasing the drying efficiency of the granular food. In addition to improving efficiency, the installation of casters 13 facilitates the overall movement of the support column 5 during use, and makes it easy to remove and place the flip plate 8 as a whole from the drying chamber 2. Furthermore, the installation of limiting blocks 14 and 28 allows the support column 5 to be restricted by friction and compression, making it difficult for the support column 5 to move, thereby maintaining the stability of the tray 7 and the flip plate 8 during drying. The installation of glass window 4 allows for observation of the food drying process in the drying chamber 2. Both the tray 7 and the flip plate 8 are mesh, which facilitates the circulation of hot air and helps the moisture to dissipate quickly. The installation of positioning block 16 allows the clamping block 15 to be pressed by spring 17, so that the clamping block 15 can be locked onto the support crossbar 6 to maintain the stability of the tray 7. By compressing spring 17, the clamping block 15 on the side away from spring 17 can be released from the support crossbar 6 without affecting the quick disassembly of the tray 7. In addition, the installation of bottom plate 19 makes it easy to collect and remove food scraps and other debris.
