[0026] 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.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a mealworm drying device, including a drying chamber 1 and a sieve plate 10, and further comprising,

[0028] The bottom of the support frame 2 and the screen plate 10 are slidably connected to the top groove of the support frame 2 for supporting and fixing the screen plate 10. A vibration component is provided on the side of the support frame 2 away from the screen plate 10 for driving the support frame 2 to reciprocate.

[0029] Support components are spaced apart at the bottom of support frame 2 to support support frame 2;

[0030] A drying component is semi-circularly arranged around the periphery of the sieve plate 10 to dry the insects on the sieve plate 10.

[0031] The vibration assembly includes a motor 5, with a drive shaft 6 fixedly connected to the output shaft end of the motor 5. A camshaft 8 is fixedly connected through the middle of the drive shaft 6. Limiting plates 7 are rotatably connected through both sides of the drive shaft 6. A fixing plate 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the motor 5. One side of both the fixing plate 9 and the limiting plate 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the drying chamber 1. A connecting rod 3 is fixedly connected to the side of the support frame 2 away from the sieve plate 10. A connecting plate 4 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 3 away from the support frame 2. The connecting rod 3 slides through and connects to the side wall of the drying chamber 1. A spring is movably sleeved on the surface of the connecting rod 3. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting plate 4, and the other end of the spring... The outer wall of the drying chamber 1 is fixedly connected to the end. The side of the camshaft 8 is slidably connected to the connecting plate 4 away from the connecting rod 3. The motor 5 drives the camshaft 8 to rotate. When the protruding side of the camshaft 8 contacts the connecting plate 4, it pushes the connecting plate 4 to move. Then, it pushes the support frame 2 to move laterally through the connecting rod 3. When the other side of the camshaft 8 contacts the connecting plate 4, the spring on the connecting rod 3 returns to its original position, thereby driving the sieve plate 10 to return to its original position. This causes the sieve plate 10 to vibrate back and forth, dispersing the insects on the sieve plate 10 and changing their position. This allows hot air to pass through the small holes of the sieve plate 10 and contact the area that was originally pressed down, making the drying of the insects more uniform and thorough.

[0032] The support assembly includes a fixing rod 13, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the inner wall of the drying chamber 1. The fixing rod 13 is fixedly connected to a support frame 14 through which the support frame 14 is hollowed out in the middle. The bottom of the support frame 2 is slidably connected to the top of the support frame 14. When the support frame 2 moves back and forth, it slides along the top of the support frame 14. The hollowed-out support frame 14 allows hot air to rise from below the sieve plate 10 and pass through the small holes of the sieve plate 10 to contact the insect body.

[0033] The drying assembly includes a hot air pump 15 and a surrounding pipe 17. A vertical pipe 18 is fixedly connected between the surrounding pipes 17. An air jet pipe 19 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the surrounding pipe 17. The nozzles of the air jet pipe 19 are spaced apart from the sieve plate 10. A support rod 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lowest surrounding pipe 17. The bottom of the support rod 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the inner wall of the drying chamber 1. An air supply pipe 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hot air pump 15. The bottom of the air supply pipe 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the uppermost surrounding pipe 17. The air supply pipe 16 passes through and is fixedly connected to the top of the drying chamber 1. The bottom of the hot air pump 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the drying chamber 1. The surrounding pipe 17 and the jet pipe 19 are semi-circularly arranged on one side of the sieve plate 10. The hot air pump 15 discharges hot air into the surrounding pipe 17 through the air supply pipe 16. Multiple surrounding pipes 17 are connected by vertical pipes 18 so that all surrounding pipes 17 can be filled with hot air. Then the hot air is sprayed out from the jet pipe 19. The nozzle of the jet pipe 19 is staggered from the sieve plate 10 so that the hot air will not be sprayed directly onto the insect body, but the area where the insect body is located can be filled with hot air. With the shaking of the insect body, the drying is more even.

[0034] The bottom of the side wall of the drying chamber 1 is provided with an exhaust hole. The exhaust hole is located at the bottom of the drying chamber 1. Hot air enters the drying chamber 1 and flows upward and accumulates. Room temperature air is discharged from the exhaust hole first, so that the drying chamber 1 can be filled with hot air and avoid mixing with room temperature air to reduce the drying effect.

[0035] Both ends of the support frame 2 are provided with grooves and magnetic pieces 11 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the grooves. Both ends of the support frame 2 are rotatably connected to iron fences 12 by torsion springs. The side of the iron fence 12 magnetically adheres to the surface of the magnetic pieces 11. The middle part of the iron fence 12 adheres to the side of the screen plate 10 away from the connecting rod 3. After the iron fence 12 adheres to the support frame 2, it surrounds and fixes the screen plate 10 in the middle, preventing the screen plate 10 from slipping off the support frame 2 when the support frame 2 shakes.

[0036] The drying chamber 1 has a door opening in the middle and a heat-insulating glass plate 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the door opening to facilitate observation of the drying process of the insects.

[0037] The drying chamber 1 is equipped with a built-in temperature and humidity detector to monitor the internal temperature and humidity and determine the drying status of the insects.

[0038] Working principle: The insects are laid out on the sieve plate 10, which is then placed on the support frame 2. The iron fence 12 is flipped up and magnetically attached to the magnet 11, enclosing the sieve plate 10 in the middle. After placing multiple sieve plates 10 in this manner, the chamber door is closed, and the hot air pump 15 is turned on. Multiple surrounding pipes 17 are filled with hot air and discharged into the drying chamber 1 through the jet pipe 19. The hot air does not blow directly onto the insects but fills the area where the insects are located, making the insects more evenly and thoroughly dried. After drying for a period of time, the motor 5 is turned on to drive the camshaft 8 to rotate, which works in conjunction with the connecting rod. The compression and recovery of the upper spring 3 causes the support frame 2 to slide back and forth laterally, causing the insects on the sieve plate 10 to shake and change position. This allows the previously pressed areas to be exposed above the small holes of the sieve plate 10, and hot air is sprayed out from multiple areas. This ensures that the insects on multiple sieve plates 10 are in contact with the hot air for an equal amount of time, making the drying process more uniform and further improving the drying uniformity. This solves the problem that traditional yellow mealworm drying equipment often uses hot air to directly spray onto the surface of the insects for drying, but the hot air does not directly reach the bottom of the insects, resulting in uneven or insufficient drying and poor drying effect.
