[0030] Preferably, the bottom of the material cylinder 1 is provided with a base 10, a plurality of supporting rods 2 are fixedly connected between the base 10 and the material cylinder 1 at both sides, the driving mechanism comprises a motor 8, the motor 8 is fixedly connected to the top end of the base 10 away from the side of the hot air machine 3, the output shaft of the motor 8 is externally connected with the cam 9 through a key, the bottom end of the material cylinder 1 is provided with a pad at the top of the cam 9, the cam 9 is oval-shaped and is made of rubber material, the half major axis of the cam 9 is equal to the distance between the output shaft of the motor 8 and the material cylinder 1, and the cam 9 can continuously hit the pad when rotating, thereby causing the vibration of the material cylinder 1.

[0031] Preferably, the output shaft of the motor 8 is connected with the driving wheel 7 at one end by a key, the end of the rotating shaft 5 outside the material cylinder 1 is connected with the driven wheel 4 by a key, the driving wheel 7 and the driven wheel 4 are both belt pulleys, and the driving wheel 7 and the driven wheel 4 are externally sleeved with the same belt 6, the diameter of the driving wheel 7 is smaller than that of the driven wheel 4, the small-diameter driving wheel 7 drives the large-diameter driven wheel 4 to rotate, which can bring a deceleration effect to the operation of the paddle 12, so as to avoid the excessive disturbance of the material due to the excessive speed of the paddle 12.

[0032] When the device is in use, the hot air blower 3 and the motor 8 can be started, the hot air blower 3 can generate hot air flow in the material cylinder 1 when it is running, and the motor 8 can drive the driving wheel 7 and the cam 9 to rotate, the driving wheel 7 drives the driven wheel 4 to rotate through the belt 6, and the driven wheel 4 drives the paddle 12 to rotate through the rotating shaft 5, and the rotation of the cam 9 can continuously knock the gasket on the material cylinder 1, thereby causing the vibration of the material cylinder 1.

[0033] Then, the coconut milk to be dried can be put into the material cylinder 1 from the feeding hopper, at this time the rotation of the paddle 12 can stir and lift the material, and the vibration of the material cylinder 1 can further disturb the material, so as to ensure the sufficient contact of the material with the hot air flow, thereby achieving the drying effect of the coconut milk.

[0035] And in this process, since the length of the paddle 12 is greater than the half minor axis of the material cylinder 1, when the paddle 12 deflects downward from the major axis to the minor axis of the material cylinder 1, the shovel head 1203 will be tightly attached to the inner wall of the material cylinder 1 under the elastic force of the elbow 1202, and will further push the material at one side of the inside of the material cylinder 1 to the middle of the bottom of the material cylinder 1 as the paddle 12 moves;

[0036] When the paddle 12 deflects upward from the minor axis to the major axis of the material cylinder 1, it can lift the material, and since the length of the paddle 12 is less than the half major axis of the material cylinder 1, the shovel head 1203 will gradually move away from the inner wall of the material cylinder 1 as the paddle 12 continues to move, in this case, the material will gradually fall, thereby achieving the effect of lifting the material.

[0038] In addition, the rib 1204 can prevent materials from accumulating outside the poking sheet 12 through its edges and inclined surfaces, so as to avoid the continuous pushing and entraining of materials by the rotation of the poking sheet 12.

[0039] Preferably, the top end of the material cylinder 1 is provided with a feeding port, and the material cylinder 1 is fixedly connected with a feeding hopper at the feeding port, the bottom end of the material cylinder 1 is provided with a discharging port at one side, and the bottom end of the material cylinder 1 is rotatably connected with a door 13 at the discharging port, the inner side of the door 13 is fixedly connected with a sealing gasket 14, the sealing gasket 14 is matched with the discharging port, and the sealing gasket 14 is made of high-temperature-resistant food-grade silica gel.

[0040] Preferably, the inside of the base 10 is provided with a cavity near one side of the door 13, the base 10 is provided with a circular opening at one side of the cavity, the base 10 is rotatably connected with a threaded rod 16 at the circular opening, the outer part of the threaded rod 16 is threadedly connected with a threaded sleeve 17, the top end of the threaded sleeve 17 is rotatably connected with a connecting rod 18, the top end of the connecting rod 18 extends to the outside of the base 10 at a strip-shaped opening provided at the cavity of the base 10, and the top end of the connecting rod 18 is rotatably connected with the door 13.

[0041] After the desiccation of the shredded coconut is completed, the threaded rod 16 can be rotated by twisting the knob 11, and the rotation of the threaded rod 16 can make the threaded sleeve 17 move in the horizontal direction, so that the threaded sleeve 17 can pull the connecting rod 18 by operating the knob 11, thereby driving the door 13 to deflect and open. The rotation of the poking sheet 12 can then push the materials out, and since the door 13 is in an inclined state after the deflection adjustment, the door 13 can guide the pushed-out materials, so that the discharging direction of the materials is unified. Therefore, only a container needs to be placed at the landing point of the door 13 on the base 10 to collect the materials.

[0042] After the material is taken out, the knob 11 can be twisted reversely to reclose the door 13, at this time the sealing gasket 14 can play a sealing effect between the door 13 and the material cylinder 1, so the next batch of materials can be continuously put into the device to achieve continuous drying processing without stopping.
