[0022] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0023] Refer to Figures 1-3 As an embodiment of the present invention, it discloses a combined drying rack with spreading and collecting functions. The drying rack includes a unit rack 1. A plurality of the unit racks 1 are stacked and connected by a locking component 2. That is, in this embodiment, a plurality of the unit racks 1 can be sequentially stacked to achieve the combined effect;

[0024] Among them, the unit rack 1 includes a frame 11. A mesh plate 12 is fixedly installed inside the upper end of the frame 11. A pushing and pulling device 3 is further provided at the upper end of the frame 11. A height adjustment component 4 is provided between the pushing and pulling device 3 and the frame 11.

[0025] In some embodiments, the frame 11 in the present invention includes a rectangular frame 111 and support legs 112 connected to the four corners of the bottom of the rectangular frame 111. Specifically, the mesh plate 12 is fixed inside the rectangular frame 111, and there is a preset distance between the mesh plate 12 and the top of the rectangular frame 111 to form a storage space to prevent coffee beans or cocoa beans from rolling down. The four support legs 112 are matrix-distributed at the four corners of the bottom of the rectangular frame 111. When used alone, the support legs 112 can be used to support on the ground. When a plurality of unit racks 1 are assembled, they can be connected and docked through the support legs 112 and the rectangular frame 111. The specific docking method can be referred to the following description and will not be elaborated here.

[0026] On the basis of the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the locking component 2 includes a positioning column 21 formed at the bottom of the support leg 112. A docking groove 22 is also opened on the end face of the rectangular frame 111. The positioning column 21 is inserted into the docking groove 22. Of course, in this embodiment, four docking grooves 22 are also matrix-distributed on the top of the rectangular frame 111. When combining two unit racks 1, place one unit rack 1 above the other unit rack 1 and insert the positioning column 21 on its support leg 112 into the docking groove 22 on the lower rectangular frame 111 to complete the combination;

[0027] In addition, a rainproof cloth can also be connected to the docking groove 22 of the uppermost unit rack 1 through a bracket to achieve rain protection for the coffee beans or cocoa beans on the unit rack 1.

[0028] Wherein, a positioning glass bead 23 is embedded on the outer side of the positioning column 21, and a positioning hole 24 penetrating to the outside of the rectangular frame 111 is formed on the inner side of the docking groove 22. Through the design of the positioning glass bead 23 and the positioning hole 24, it is used to connect the combined support feet 112 and the rectangular frame 111. The structure of the positioning glass bead 23 is a prior art and will not be elaborated here. Of course, when it is necessary to separate two stacked unit racks 1, press the positioning glass bead 23 on the lower support feet 112 to make it retract and disengage from the positioning hole 24, and then the upper unit rack 1 can be separated.

[0029] In some embodiments, the pushing and pulling device 3 in the present utility model includes two link groups 31, and each link group 31 is composed of two links pinned at both ends;

[0030] A push plate 32 is commonly pinned between the tails of the two link groups 31, and the other ends of the two link groups 31 are connected to the height adjustment assembly 4.

[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the height adjustment assembly 4 includes a U-shaped rod 41 inserted into the frame 11. The two ends of the top of the U-shaped rod 41 penetrate and extend to the upper side of the frame 11, and the other ends of the two link groups 31 are respectively pinned at the two ends of the U-shaped rod 41. Wherein, a fixing assembly is arranged between the U-shaped rod 41 and the frame 11.

[0032] In addition, the fixing assembly includes a plug rod 42 inserted into the frame 11, and a spring 43 is fixedly connected between the plug rod 42 and the frame 11. Wherein, a plurality of adjustment holes 44 are spaced apart on the outer side of the U-shaped rod 41, and one end of the plug rod 42 is inserted and adapted to the adjustment hole 44.

[0033] That is to say, during specific operation, first pour coffee beans or cocoa beans above the mesh plate 12. The user can spread the coffee beans or cocoa beans on the mesh plate 12 by pulling the push plate 32. Of course, in this embodiment, due to the design of the U-shaped rod 41, by adjusting the height of the U-shaped rod 41, the control of the spreading thickness can be achieved. Of course, after drying, the plug rod 42 can be pulled and the entire U-shaped rod 41 can be pulled downward, and the plug rod 42 is inserted into the positioning hole 24 at the uppermost position of the U-shaped rod 41. At this time, the bottom of the push plate 32 contacts the upper surface of the mesh plate 12. When the push plate 32 is pulled again, the coffee beans or cocoa beans can be pushed to one side by the push plate 32 for convenient centralized collection, with diverse functions, meeting the spreading and collection operations of coffee beans or cocoa beans.

[0034] Preferably, in order to facilitate the movement of the entire unit rack 1, a sliding base 5 is further included in this embodiment. A wheel member is provided at the bottom of the sliding base 5. The wheel member can be set as a universal wheel, and four are distributed in a matrix below the sliding base 5. Docking grooves 22 are also provided at the four corners above the sliding base 5. As a preference, positioning holes 24 can also be provided in the docking grooves 22 for clamping and positioning the positioning beads 23. That is, the design of the docking grooves 22 on the sliding base 5 is used to achieve plug-in adaptation with the positioning columns 21 on the unit rack 1 to complete the support connection of the upper unit rack 1.

[0035] In summary, the present utility model adopts a design in which multiple unit racks 1 can be combined. During actual use, multiple unit racks 1 can be assembled according to the drying site and the quantity requirements of coffee beans or cocoa beans to improve the overall adaptability. Secondly, after the height of the push-pull device 3 is adjusted by the height adjustment component 4, the functions of spreading and collecting coffee beans or cocoa beans can be realized. When spreading coffee beans or cocoa beans, the height of the push-pull device 3 can also be adaptively adjusted to meet the spreading requirements of different thicknesses. The overall structure design is simple, optimizing the convenience and applicability of coffee bean or cocoa bean drying.

[0036] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model, according to the technical solution of the present utility model and its inventive concept, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and should be covered by the protection scope of the present utility model.
