[0030] Specifically, the vacuum machine 5 is connected to the outer shell 4 through the conduit 6. When the vacuum machine 5 is started, it can extract the air in the outer shell 4 to form a vacuum environment. In the vacuum environment, the moisture in the fruit is more likely to evaporate, thereby accelerating the dehydration process. The heater 8 is located on the collecting plate 7. Its function is to provide a heat source for the heat pipe 9. When the heater 8 is turned on, the heat will be evenly distributed inside the outer shell 4 through the heat pipe 9. The heating can further increase the evaporation rate of the moisture inside the fruit and accelerate the dehydration process. In addition, the design of the closed door 10 allows the outer shell 4 to be kept sealed during the dehydration process to prevent heat loss and the entry of external impurities, thereby ensuring the dehydration effect. When the dehydration is completed, the closed door 10 can be opened to take out the dehydrated dried fruit. Since moisture will be generated during the dehydration process, the moisture can be discharged to the outside of the device through the vents of the outer shell 4.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3The carrier 2 includes a limiting base 201, and limiting grooves 202 are provided on the front and rear sides of the top wall of the limiting base 201. A plurality of universal wheels 203 are provided on the inner walls of the two limiting grooves 202. The top ends of the plurality of universal wheels 203 are fixedly connected with a fixed horizontal plate 204, and a fixed vertical plate 205 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top wall of the fixed horizontal plate 204. The front and rear sides of the fixed vertical plate 205 are fixedly connected with a plurality of support rods 206, and a plurality of dehydration boxes 207 are provided between the adjacent plurality of support rods 206, and the plurality of dehydration boxes 207 are slidably connected with the plurality of support rods 206;
[0032] Specifically, the limiting groove 202 on the top wall of the limiting base 201 can ensure the stability of the entire device when moving, and the multiple universal wheels 203 in the limiting groove 202 allow the fixed horizontal plate 204 to move forward and backward on the base. The fixed horizontal plate 204 and the fixed vertical plate 205 are combined as a supporting structure, and its T-shaped structure further enhances the stability of the overall structure. The multiple support rods 206 connected to the front and rear sides of the fixed vertical plate 205 are used to store the frame of the dehydration box 207. These support rods 206 not only provide support for the dehydration box 207, but also allow the dehydration box 207 to slide between the support rods 206. Since the dehydration boxes 207 are placed in layers, uniform heating and efficient dehydration of the fruit during the dehydration process are ensured.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The inner bottom wall of the bottom plate 1 is fixedly connected to two hydraulic columns 11, and the output ends of the two hydraulic columns 11 are fixedly connected to triangular inclined blocks 12; the four corners of the top wall of the carrier plate 3 are fixedly connected to columns 15, and the top ends of the multiple columns 15 are fixedly connected to U-shaped frames 16; the left and right ends of the top wall of the fixed cross plate 204 are fixedly connected to handles 20, and the top walls of the two handles 20 are fixedly connected to anti-slip sleeves 21;

In the vacuum environment, the moisture in the fruit is more likely to evaporate, thereby accelerating the dehydration process. The heater 8 is located on the collecting plate 7. Its function is to provide a heat source for the heat pipe 9. When the heater 8 is turned on, the heat will be evenly distributed inside the shell 4 through the heat pipe 9. The heating can further increase the evaporation rate of the moisture inside the fruit and accelerate the dehydration process. In addition, the design of the closed door 10 allows the sealing of the shell 4 to be maintained during the dehydration process, preventing heat loss and the entry of external impurities, thereby ensuring the dehydration effect. When the dehydration is completed, the closed door 10 can be opened to take out the dehydrated dried fruit. Since moisture will be generated during the dehydration process, this moisture can be discharged to the outside of the device through the vents of the shell 4. During the dehydration process Due to the vacuum environment, the water in the fruit evaporates more evenly, achieving efficient dehydration of the fruit, and the limiting base 201 provides stable support for the entire device, and the limiting groove 202 on the top wall can ensure the stability of the entire device when moving, and the multiple universal wheels 203 in the limiting groove 202 allow the fixed horizontal plate 204 to move back and forth on the base, thereby facilitating loading and unloading operations and adjustments of the equipment. The fixed horizontal plate 204 and the fixed vertical plate 205 are combined as a supporting structure, and its T-shaped structure further enhances the stability of the overall structure. The multiple support rods 206 connected to the front and rear sides of the fixed vertical plate 205 are used to store the frame of the dehydration box 207. These support rods 206 not only provide support for the dehydration box 207, but also allow the dehydration box 207 to slide between the support rods 206. Since the dehydration boxes 207 are placed in layers, the fruit is ensured to be evenly heated and efficiently dehydrated during the dehydration process, thereby improving the quality and taste of dried fruit snacks.
