Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of drying equipment technology, specifically relating to a fruit dryer that is easy to use for rotary drying. Background Technology

[0002] A dehydrator, also known as a food dehydrator or fruit and vegetable dehydrator, is a machine used for low-temperature drying of fruits, vegetables, herbs, meats, etc. By evaporating the water from fresh fruits and vegetables, its moisture content is reduced, resulting in a unique flavor and texture, and extending shelf life. A dehydrator makes it easy to make snacks that the whole family will love, offering convenience and health benefits. Typically, it uses a heating wire with a fan to blow hot air, achieving a low-temperature drying effect. The current flow can be controlled by a thermostat, thus adjusting the power and heat dissipation. However, existing household dehydrators lack a rotating function, resulting in uneven drying and slow speed. This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also produces poor drying results, causing inconvenience for users. Therefore, a dehydrator with convenient rotating drying is designed to overcome these technical shortcomings. Utility Model Content
