[0018] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0019] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in this embodiment, a food dehydration device includes a base 1. A dehydration mechanism is installed on the top of one end of the base 1, and a drying mechanism is installed on the top of the other end of the base 1. A sealing mechanism is installed on the top of the drying mechanism. The dehydration mechanism includes a dehydration barrel 2. A connecting ring 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom inside the dehydration barrel 2. A connecting plate 17 is provided on the top of the connecting ring 16. A positioning post 18 is fixedly connected to the inside of the middle of the connecting plate 17, and two symmetrically arranged positioning rods 19 are fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting plate 17. Several placement plates 3 are provided inside the dehydration barrel 2. Two symmetrically arranged connecting blocks 13 are fixedly connected to the outside of the several placement plates 3, and positioning holes are opened in the middle of the several placement plates 3.

[0020] The connecting block 13 is movably connected to the outside of the adjacent positioning rod 19. The positioning post 18 is set inside the positioning hole. The outer side of the top of the positioning rod 19 is threaded with a clamping ring. Align the positioning hole of the placement tray 3 with the positioning post 18 and align the hole on the connecting block 13 with the positioning rod 19 to install the placement tray 3. Then, put food into the placement tray 3 and repeat this operation. After the placement tray 3 is full, tighten the clamping ring on the positioning rod 19 to lock the placement tray 3 and ensure stable dehydration.

[0021] The surface of the placement tray 3 is provided with several through grooves 14, and the bottom of the placement tray 3 is provided with several first through holes 15. A screen 4 is fixedly connected inside the through grooves 14 and the first through holes 15. The screen 4 is used to intercept the food in the placement tray 3 and prevent it from being thrown out from the through grooves 14 and the first through holes 15. Secondly, the screen 4 does not affect the water in the food being thrown out.

[0022] The drying mechanism includes a hot air blower 5, with an air conveying pipe 6 fixedly connected to the output end of the hot air blower 5. An air outlet pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the inside of the top of the dehydration barrel 2. One end of the air conveying pipe 6 is connected to the air outlet pipe 7. Several air outlet holes are opened at the bottom of the air outlet pipe 7. The heating temperature is preset. When the hot air blower 5 is started, its output end blows hot air into the air conveying pipe 6. The air conveying pipe 6 delivers the hot air to the air outlet pipe 7 and blows it into the dehydration barrel 2. The hot air enters the placement tray 3 through the through groove 14 and the first through hole 15 to heat and dry the food in the placement tray 3. The steam generated during the process will condense and gather on the connecting plate 17 and be discharged from the dehydration barrel 2.

[0023] The sealing mechanism includes two mounting blocks 8, which are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the hot air blower 5. A connecting shaft 9 is rotatably connected between the two mounting blocks 8. A connecting plate 10 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting shaft 9. A sealing cover 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting plate 10. A sealing ring is fixedly connected inside the sealing cover 11. The sealing cover 11 drives the connecting shaft 9 to rotate through the connecting plate 10, thereby closing the dehydration tank 2. When closed on the dehydration tank 2, the sealing ring seals the connection between the sealing cover 11 and the dehydration tank 2 to prevent water from being thrown out.

[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, a connecting frame 20 is fixedly connected to the top of one end of the base 1, and a drive motor 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting frame 20. A first transmission wheel 22 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 21, and a second transmission wheel 23 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the bottom of the positioning column 18. A transmission belt 24 is sleeved on the outer side between the first transmission wheel 22 and the second transmission wheel 23. When the drive motor 21 is running, its output end drives the first transmission wheel 22 to rotate. Under the traction of the transmission belt 24, the positioning column 18 is driven to rotate through the second transmission wheel 23. Since the positioning column 18 is connected to the connecting plate 17, the placement plate 3 is driven to start rotating, and centrifugal force is used to dehydrate the food in the placement plate 3.

[0025] A second through hole 25 is provided at the bottom of the connecting plate 17, a third through hole 26 is provided at the bottom of the dehydration bucket 2, and a drainage groove 12 is provided inside the base 1. The third through hole 26 is connected to the drainage groove 12. The water generated during dehydration is thrown out from the placement plate 3, collects in the connecting plate 17, enters the bottom of the dehydration bucket 2 through the second through hole 25, and then enters the drainage groove 12 through the third through hole 26. Finally, the water is discharged from the drainage groove 12.

[0026] This utility model provides a food dehydration device, the specific working principle of which is as follows: Align the positioning hole of the placement tray 3 with the positioning post 18, and align the hole on the connecting block 13 with the positioning rod 19 to install the placement tray 3. Then, put food into the placement tray 3 and repeat this operation. After the placement tray 3 is full, tighten the clamping ring on the positioning rod 19 to lock the placement tray 3. Then, cover it with the sealing cover 11, and start the drive motor 21 and the hot air blower 5. The drive motor 21 runs, and its output end drives the first transmission wheel 22 to rotate. Under the traction of the transmission belt 24, the second transmission wheel 23 drives the positioning post 18 to rotate. The positioning column 18 is connected to the connecting plate 17, which in turn drives the placement plate 3 to start rotating. Centrifugal force is used to dehydrate the food in the placement plate 3. The output end of the hot air blows hot air into the air supply pipe 6. The air supply pipe 6 delivers the hot air to the air outlet pipe 7 and blows it into the dehydration barrel 2. The hot air enters the placement plate 3 through the through groove 14 and the first through hole 15 to heat and dry the food in the placement plate 3. The steam generated during this process will condense and gather with the water that is spun out onto the connecting plate 17. It enters the bottom of the dehydration barrel 2 through the second through hole 25, and then enters the drain trough 12 through the third through hole 26. Finally, the water is discharged from the drain trough 12.
