With the movement of the conveyor belt a603, the zucchini seeds preliminarily dried on the upper belt surface will fall off at one end and fall onto the guide plate 614, and then slide along the inclined guide plate 614 to the moving conveyor belt b604. With the air heater 613 passing through the air duct 614 and the air inlet b611 to pass hot air between the upper and lower belt surfaces of the conveyor belt b604, the hot air will flow out from the exhaust hole of the upper belt surface of the conveyor belt b604 to dry the zucchini seeds on the upper belt surface of the conveyor belt b604. Finally, with the continuous movement of the conveyor belt b604, the dried zucchini seeds on the upper belt surface of the conveyor belt b604 will fall off at one end of the conveyor belt b604 and fall onto the discharge plate 11, and then flow into the collection container.
