Then, the height position of each plate layer is adjusted according to the size of the material and the placement requirements, so as to adjust the spacing between the pallets. The plate layers can be slid up and down and fixed by the positioning component. After the adjustment is completed, the pallet is placed on the plate layer, and the transmission box drives the hanger to move back to the freeze-drying bin, and subsequent freeze-drying operations can be carried out.

[0023] This embodiment is further configured as follows: the motion component includes a main shaft 10 rotatably installed in the transmission box 4, a main gear 11 is provided on the main shaft 10, a secondary shaft 12 is rotatably installed on the lower wall of the transmission box 4, a secondary gear 13 meshing with the main gear 11 is installed on the upper end of the secondary shaft 12, a rack 14 is provided on the side wall of the crossbeam 3 along the length direction, a transmission gear 15 meshing with the rack 14 is provided on the secondary shaft 12, and a motor 16 connected to one end of the main shaft 10 is provided on the outer wall of the transmission box 4.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the motor drives the main shaft to rotate, the main gear drives the sub-gear and the sub-shaft to rotate, and the transmission gear on the sub-shaft rotates synchronously. At this time, because the transmission gear is engaged with the rack, the transmission gear moves along the length direction of the rack when it rotates, and then the transmission box drives the hanger to move along the crossbeam, so that the hanger can move to the outside of the freeze-drying bin, which is convenient for personnel to load materials.

The detailed connection means are well-known technologies in the field. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process.

[0033] Embodiment: When loading, the door of the freeze dryer 1 is opened, the motor 16 drives the main shaft 10 to rotate, the main gear 11 drives the sub-gear 13 and the sub-shaft 12 to rotate, and the transmission gear 15 on the sub-shaft 12 rotates synchronously. At this time, because the transmission gear 15 is meshed with the rack 14, the transmission gear 15 moves along the length direction of the rack 14 when rotating, and then the transmission box 4 drives the hanger to move along the crossbeam 3, so that the hanger can move to the outside of the freeze drying bin 2, remove the tray 9 on the plate layer 8, and place the material on the tray 9, and then adjust the height position of each plate layer 8 according to the size of the material and the placement requirements, so as to adjust the spacing between the trays 9, rotate the positioning bolt 18, and separate its end from the positioning hole 19. At this time, the plate layer 8 can be slid up and down. After sliding to a suitable height, the positioning bolt 18 is reversed so that the end is reinserted into the corresponding positioning hole 19 to complete the fixation of the plate layer 8, and then the tray 9 is pushed onto the plate layer 8, and the motor 16 is reversed so that the transmission box 4 drives the hanger to reset to the freeze drying bin 2, and the subsequent freeze drying process is carried out through the freeze dryer 1.
