Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of matsutake mushroom processing technology, specifically a multi-layer drying machine. Background Technology
[0002] Matsutake mushrooms belong to the Tricholomataceae family and the Tricholomataceae genus. During processing, matsutake mushrooms require drying. The main reason for drying matsutake mushrooms is to better preserve their nutrients and flavor, while also improving their shelf life and convenience.
[0003] Existing matsutake drying machines use a fan to drive hot air heated by heating wires to blow over the matsutake mushrooms to achieve the purpose of drying. In order to increase the number of matsutake mushrooms that can be dried, the drying racks containing matsutake mushrooms are usually stacked, so that the hot air blows from the bottom of the drying rack upwards. Since the matsutake mushrooms block some of the hot air, the matsutake mushrooms on the top receive less hot air, resulting in different drying degrees for the matsutake mushrooms at the top and bottom, which affects the overall efficiency of matsutake mushroom drying. Utility Model Content

[0030] 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.
[0031] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a multi-layer dryer, including a hot air blower 1 and a storage section 2.
[0032] The hot air blower 1 has an air inlet 101 on its side and an air outlet 102 on its top. A heating device is installed inside the hot air blower 1. Air enters the hot air blower 1 through the air inlet 101, is heated by the heating device, and then ejected from the air outlet 102. A storage unit 2 is located on the top of the hot air blower 1. Several drying cages 201 are arranged on the top of the hot air blower 1, stacked end-to-end. A slot 103 is provided at the air outlet 102, and the bottom of the drying cage 201 is inserted into and engaged with the slot 103. A top cover 210 is provided on the top of the drying cages 201, allowing the drying cages 201 to be secured. The slot 103 allows hot air blown from the air outlet 102 to pass through the drying cage 201. The drying cage 201 is equipped with a rack 202 for placing matsutake mushrooms. The inner wall of the drying cage 201 is equipped with ventilation slots 203. Several vertically stacked drying cages 201 have interconnected ventilation slots 203 to guide the hot air. The number of matsutake mushrooms that can be placed can be increased by stacking several drying cages 201. At the same time, the ventilation slots 203 inside the drying cage 201 guide the passage of hot air, so that the hot air from the lower layer will not be reduced in volume due to the matsutake mushrooms blocking the upward flow when blowing upward, thus improving the overall efficiency of matsutake mushroom drying.
[0033] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a multi-layer dryer, including a storage section 2, a drying cage 201, and a ventilation duct 203.
[0034] The bottom of the rack 202 engages with the annular groove at the top of the rack 202, allowing several drying cages 201 to be stacked end-to-end. A ventilation duct 203 forms a ring around the inner wall of the drying cage 201. The ventilation duct 203 has a vertical, through-hole design to guide hot air, ensuring that the hot air from the lower layer is not reduced in volume when blowing upwards due to obstruction by the matsutake mushrooms. The storage section 2 also has a guide duct 204 located next to the ventilation duct 203, with its opening facing the rack 202. This guide duct allows hot air to be ejected from the side of the matsutake mushrooms, improving drying efficiency. Handles 205 are rotatably mounted on both sides of the drying cage 201, which has a rotating groove through which the handles 205 pass. The trough is rotatably connected to the drying cage 201, which facilitates the operator to move the drying cage 201. Connecting frames 206 are provided on both sides of the drying cage 201. A locking block 208 is vertically slidably provided inside the connecting frame 206. A limiting groove 207 is opened inside the connecting frame 206. The locking block 208 is embedded in the limiting groove 207 and slidably connected to the connecting frame 206. The bottom of the locking block 208 is designed with an arc and abuts against the handle 205. The sliding of the locking block 208 inside the connecting frame 206 can limit the displacement of the handle 205. A spring 209 is provided on the top of the locking block 208. A groove is opened on the top of the locking block 208 and the spring 209 is placed in the groove. The spring 209 is located between the locking block 208 and the connecting frame 206. The spring 209 can push the locking block 208 to move inside the connecting frame 206.
[0035] Working principle: First, when using the device, turn on the power and place the matsutake mushrooms to be dried flat in the placement rack 202. Then, move the entire drying cage 201 by holding the setting handle 205, so that its bottom is locked in the slot 103. Next, stack several drying cages 201 end to end. While stacking, rotate the handle 205 of the upper drying cage 201 so that it is next to the connecting frame 206 on the side of the lower drying cage 201, and squeeze the locking block 208 in the connecting frame 206. After being squeezed, the locking block 208 moves upward, so that the handle 205 moves to the inside of the locking block 208. Then, the spring 209 pushes the locking block 208 in the connecting frame 206. The interior moves downward and abuts against the handle 205, thereby fixing the position of the handle 205 and allowing the upper and lower drying cages 201 to be connected more tightly. Then, the hot air blower 1 is turned on, and air enters the interior of the hot air blower 1 through the air inlet 101. After being heated by the heating device, it is sprayed out from the air outlet 102. The hot air blown out from the air outlet 102 can pass through the drying cages 201. By stacking several drying cages 201, the number of matsutake mushrooms placed can be increased. At the same time, the hot air is guided through the ventilation grooves 203 set inside the drying cages 201, so that the hot air from the lower layer will not be reduced in volume due to the matsutake mushrooms blocking the upward flow when blowing upward, thus improving the overall efficiency of matsutake mushroom drying.
