[0003] After checking the announcement number: CN219494581U, a vertical cooling tower for mooncake production is disclosed. This technology discloses "including an outer shell, a humidifying duct, and a strong cold air blower. A rotating disk is installed on the outside of the connecting rod through a bearing movably connected. A strong cold air blower is arranged on the outer side of the middle of the outer shell, and a humidifying duct is arranged at the air inlet port of the soft cold air blower. The utility model drives the support seat and the rotating disk to be lifted and adjusted by a lifting motor inside the outer shell.
