[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 One embodiment provided by this utility model:

[0025] A drying device for harvesting morel mushrooms includes multiple drying racks 1, a first support 2, and a second support 5. A first base plate 3 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the first support 2, and a second base plate 7 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the second support 5. Multiple casters 4 are fixedly installed at the lower ends of both the first base plate 3 and the second base plate 7. A screw 6 is rotatably installed between the inner top surface of the second support 5 and the second base plate 7. A connecting block 8 is threaded around the screw 6, and a turntable 9 is fixedly installed at the lower part of the screw 6. The front and rear sides of the first holding frame 101 are hinged to the inner walls of both sides of the first support 2. One side of the second holding frame 105 is hinged to the connecting block 8. Multiple drying racks 1 are all hinged to the first support 2, and multiple drying racks 1 are respectively hinged to multiple connecting blocks 8.

[0026] Specifically, casters 4 are installed on the underside of both the first base plate 3 and the second base plate 7 to facilitate the movement of the device. The casters 4 are equipped with a locking structure (this structure is the same as that of baby wheel wheels and is an existing structure not shown in the figure) to prevent the device from moving. A screw 6 and multiple connecting blocks 8 are threaded together. By rotating the screw 6, the connecting blocks 8 can move up and down, allowing the drying rack 1 to tilt. A turntable 9 is provided to facilitate the rotation of the screw 6. The morel mushrooms are placed on the first filter plate 102 and the second filter plate 103 inside the holding frame for drying by setting the drying rack 1.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 The drying rack 1 includes a first holding frame 101 and a second holding frame 105. The first holding frame 101 has a first support block 104 fixedly installed on the inner walls of both the front and rear sides. The first holding frame 101 has a first filter plate 102 movably installed inside. The first holding frame 101 has a side plate 107 fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides at the lower end. The second holding frame 105 has a second support block 106 fixedly installed on the inner walls of both the front and rear sides. The second holding frame 105 has a second filter plate 103 movably installed inside. The two side plates 107 each have a sliding groove 108 on one side opposite to each other. The two sliding blocks 109 are fixedly installed at both ends of the second holding frame 105 near the side of the first holding frame 101. The two sliding blocks 109 are slidably installed with the two sliding grooves 108 respectively.

[0028] Specifically, the first support block 104 and the second support block 106 can support the first filter plate 102 and the second filter plate 103. The morel mushrooms are placed on the first filter plate 102 and the second filter plate 103 inside the first holding frame 101 and the second holding frame 105 for drying by setting the drying rack 1. The first filter plate 102 and the second filter plate 103 can filter water, so that the morel mushrooms and water are separated, improving the drying efficiency. By sliding the slider 109 and the slide groove 108, the second holding frame 105 can be stored under the first holding frame 101. The device is stored in a way that reduces the space occupied and makes it easy to move or store.
