[0019] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a mushroom drying and dehydration device includes a frame 1, a conveying mechanism 2 inside the frame 1, a holding box 3 above the conveying mechanism 2, an elastic connecting component 4 for connecting the holding box 3 at the top of the conveying mechanism 2, a drying chamber 5 fixedly connected to the left end of the frame 1, a hot air output component 6 for drying mushrooms on the surface of the drying chamber 5, a sealing component 7 for sealing the drying chamber 5 on the surface of the drying chamber 5, and a vibration control component 8 for vibrating the holding box 3 at the bottom of the drying chamber 5. The user places mushrooms into the holding box 3, and the mushrooms in the holding box 3 are pre-dried by the hot air output component 6 in the external environment. After a period of preheating, the elastic connecting component 4 and the container 3 are moved by the conveying mechanism 2, allowing the container 3 to enter the drying chamber 5. The right side of the drying chamber 5 is sealed by the sealing component 7, and hot air is blown into the drying chamber 5 by the hot air output component 6, which raises the temperature inside the drying chamber 5 and dries the shiitake mushrooms inside the container 3. During the drying process, the vibration control component 8 is operated to vibrate the container 3, causing the shiitake mushrooms inside the container 3 to vibrate, thus drying the shiitake mushrooms evenly. The elastic connecting component 4 provides elastic support for the container 3, allowing it to vibrate smoothly.

[0021] The conveying mechanism 2 includes a control motor 201, which is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the frame 1. The output end of the control motor 201 is fixedly connected to a threaded column 202. A support frame 203 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded column 202. A sliding groove 204 is opened through the top surface of the frame 1, and the inner wall of the sliding groove 204 is slidably connected to the surface of the support frame 203. It should be noted that by operating the control motor 201, the threaded column 202 is driven to rotate. Under the action of the thread, the support frame 203 is driven to slide along the inner wall of the sliding groove 204, thereby controlling the lateral movement of the elastic connecting component 4 and the container 3.

[0022] The elastic connection component 4 includes a mounting groove 401, which is located at the top of the support frame 203. A first spring 402 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the mounting groove 401. A sliding column 403 is fixedly connected to the free end of the first spring 402, and the sliding column 403 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 401. A support plate 404 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding column 403, and the support plate 404 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the container 3. More specifically, when the vibration control component 8 causes the container 3 to vibrate, the container 3 will pull the support plate 404 to vibrate, thereby causing the sliding column 403 to slide along the inner wall of the mounting groove 401, and simultaneously causing the first spring 402 to undergo elastic deformation, thereby achieving elastic support for the container 3.

[0023] The hot air output assembly 6 includes a hot air blower 601, which is fixedly installed on the left side of the drying chamber 5. A first hot air pipe 602 is fixedly connected to the air outlet of the hot air blower 601. An air collector 603 is fixedly connected to the end of the first hot air pipe 602, and the air collector 603 is fixedly installed on the surface of the frame 1. A second hot air pipe 605 is fixedly connected to the surface of the first hot air pipe 602, and the end of the second hot air pipe 605 is fixedly connected to the drying chamber 5. A first solenoid valve 60 is provided in the middle section of the first hot air pipe 602. 4. A second solenoid valve 606 is installed in the middle section of the second hot air pipe 605. It should be noted that hot air is generated by the operation of the hot air blower 601. By opening the first solenoid valve 604, the hot air will enter the air collecting hood 603. The air collecting hood 603 can preheat and dry the shiitake mushrooms in the container 3 in the external environment. After the container 3 enters the drying chamber 5, the second solenoid valve 606 is opened, so that the hot air enters the drying chamber 5 through the second hot air pipe 605 to dry and dehydrate the shiitake mushrooms inside the drying chamber 5.

[0024] The sealing assembly 7 includes two electric push rods 701, which are rotatably mounted on the front and back of the drying chamber 5, respectively. A baffle 702 is hinged to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 701. The baffle 702 is rotatably connected to the right side of the drying chamber 5. More specifically, by operating the electric push rod 701, its telescopic end is extended or shortened, thereby causing the baffle 702 to rotate, which can open or close the right side of the drying chamber 5.

[0025] The vibration control component 8 includes a second spring 801, and the mounting bracket 802 is movably connected to the bottom of the drying box 5. A push plate 804 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting bracket 802, and a buffer pad 805 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the push plate 804. The second spring 801 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the drying box 5, and the bottom end of the second spring 801 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 802. A vibration motor 803 is provided at the bottom of the mounting bracket 802. It should be noted that the vibration generated by the operation of the vibration motor 803 pulls the mounting bracket 802 to vibrate up and down, and drives the second spring 801 to continuously extend and retract. The vibration motor 803 will push the push plate 804 to vibrate up and down, thereby pushing the container 3 to vibrate up and down, vibrating the shiitake mushrooms inside the container 3, so that the shiitake mushrooms are heated evenly. By setting the buffer pad 805, the impact force between the push plate 804 and the container 3 is reduced, and damage to the bottom of the container 3 is avoided.

[0026] In summary: The user places the shiitake mushrooms into the holding box 3. The hot air output component 6 preheats and dries the shiitake mushrooms in the holding box 3 in the external environment. After a period of preheating, the conveying mechanism 2 drives the elastic connecting component 4 and the holding box 3 to move, allowing the holding box 3 to enter the drying chamber 5. The sealing component 7 closes the right side of the drying chamber 5, and the hot air output component 6 blows hot air into the drying chamber 5, raising the temperature inside the drying chamber 5 and drying and dehydrating the shiitake mushrooms inside the holding box 3. During the drying process, the vibration control component 8 operates to vibrate the holding box 3, causing the shiitake mushrooms inside to vibrate and thus dry the shiitake mushrooms evenly. The elastic connecting component 4 provides elastic support for the holding box 3, allowing it to vibrate smoothly. In use, this achieves an effective drying and dehydration effect for shiitake mushrooms. The user only needs to put in and take out the shiitake mushrooms. The entire drying process requires less manual operation, making it simpler to operate and effectively improving drying efficiency.
