[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides an embodiment of an earthworm castings fertilizer drying device, including a drying chamber 1; it also includes an arc-shaped shell 7, a through groove 8, a water tank 9, a water pump 10, a water pipe 11, a collection box 12, and a drip pipe 13. A door panel 2 is installed on the front surface of the drying chamber 1 via a hinge. A drive assembly is located on the bottom right side of the inner surface of the drying chamber 1. A support assembly is located on the left side of the inner bottom surface of the drying chamber 1. Support plates 5 are provided on the upper sides of both the drive assembly and the support assembly. A tray 6 is placed on the upper surface of the two support plates 5. An arc-shaped shell 7 is located on the front surface of the drying chamber 1 corresponding to the handle position of the tray 6. Several through grooves 8 are evenly distributed on the outer surface of the arc-shaped shell 7. A water tank 9 is installed on the front surface of the door panel 2 below the arc-shaped shell 7. A water tank 9 is installed on the right side of the water tank 9. The system is equipped with a water pump 10, the output end of which is connected to one end of a water pipe 11. The other end of the water pipe 11 is connected to a collection box 12. The rear surface of the collection box 12 is connected to the front surface of the door panel 2. Drip tubes 13 are provided on the bottom surface of the collection box 12 at the positions corresponding to the through groove 8. By setting an arc-shaped shell 7, after the door panel 2 is closed, the handle of the tray 6 can be embedded in the interior of the arc-shaped shell 7. Then, during the drying process, the water pump 10 is started to transport the water in the water tank 9 to the interior of the collection box 12 through the water pipe 11. This water can drip downwards in the form of water droplets through the drip tubes 13, thereby dripping through the through groove 8 onto the outer surface of the handle of the tray 6, thereby cooling the handle of the tray 6 and avoiding the risk of burns to the staff when removing the tray 6 due to the handle being too hot.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-5In this embodiment, the driving assembly includes a drive motor 31, a screw 32, a movable seat 33, and a first fixed plate 34. The drive motor 31 is installed at the lower right corner of the rear surface of the drying chamber 1. The output end of the drive motor 31 passes through the rear wall of the drying chamber 1 and is connected to one end of the screw 32. The first fixed plate 34 is installed on the bottom front side of the inner surface of the drying chamber 1, corresponding to the position of the screw 32. The other end of the screw 32 is rotatably connected to the rear surface of the first fixed plate 34. The outer surface of the screw 32 is threadedly connected to the movable seat 33. The upper surface of the movable seat 33 is connected to the bottom surface of the support plate 5. By setting the drive motor 31, its output end will drive the screw 32 to rotate during operation. When the screw 32 rotates, it can drive the movable seat 33, which is threadedly engaged with it, to move back and forth, thereby causing the support plate 5 to drive the tray 6 to move back and forth, realizing the function of automatically sending the tray 6 out of the drying chamber 1. The driving assembly also includes a limit block 35 and a limit groove 3. 6; A limiting block 35 is installed on the bottom surface of the movable seat 33, and a limiting groove 36 is opened on the bottom inner surface of the drying box 1 corresponding to the position of the limiting block 35. By setting the limiting block 35 and the limiting groove 36, the position of the movable seat 33 can be restricted, preventing the screw 32 from driving the movable seat 33 to rotate synchronously when rotating, thereby ensuring transmission efficiency. The supporting component includes a second fixed plate 41, a positioning rod 42 and a positioning block 43; A second fixed plate 41 is installed on the left side of the bottom front side of the inner surface of the drying box 1, and a positioning rod 42 is installed on the rear surface of the second fixed plate 41. A positioning block 43 is slidably connected through the outer surface of the positioning rod 42. The upper surface of the positioning block 43 is connected to the bottom surface of the corresponding support plate 5. By setting the positioning rod 42 and the positioning block 43, when the tray 6 moves, the left support plate 5 can drive the positioning block 43 to slide on the outer surface of the positioning rod 42, thereby playing a bottom supporting role and improving the stability of the tray 6 movement.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 In this embodiment, the upper surfaces of both support plates 5 are provided with three equally spaced insertion holes 14. The tray 6 is positioned by inserting a rod into the insertion holes 14. By setting the insertion holes 14, the position of the tray 6 can be easily positioned, and the problem of the tray 6 shifting when moving the tray 6 can be avoided. The inner surface of the drying oven 1 is provided with a support plate 15 on the front side of the left and right sides. The upper surface of the support plate 15 is in contact with the bottom surface of the support plate 5. By setting the support plate 15, the bottom front side of the support plate 5 can be supported, and the support plate 5 can be prevented from breaking due to the excessive weight of the tray 6. The bottom surface of the drying oven 1 is provided with a support leg 16 at the corner. The bottom surface of the support leg 16 is provided with a pad 17. By setting the support leg 16 and the pad 17, the overall stability of the device can be improved, thereby increasing the service life.

[0026] During operation, the drive motor 31 drives the screw 32 to rotate at its output end. The screw 32, when rotating, drives the threaded movable seat 33 to move back and forth, thereby causing the support plate 5 to move the tray 6 back and forth, thus automatically sending the tray 6 out of the drying chamber 1. By setting the limit block 35 and the limit groove 36, the position of the movable seat 33 can be restricted, preventing the screw 32 from driving the movable seat 33 to rotate synchronously, thereby ensuring transmission efficiency. The positioning rod 42 and the positioning block 43 are also set to position the tray... When the pallet 6 moves, the left support plate 5 can drive the positioning block 43 to slide on the outer surface of the positioning rod 42, thereby providing bottom support and improving the stability of the pallet 6 movement. The insertion hole 14 facilitates the positioning of the pallet 6 and prevents the pallet 6 from shifting when moving. The support plate 15 supports the bottom front of the support plate 5, preventing the support plate 5 from breaking due to excessive weight of the pallet 6. The support legs 16 and the pads 17 improve the overall stability of the device and thus extend its service life.

[0027] Through the above steps, by setting the arc-shaped shell 7, after the door panel 2 is closed, the handle of the tray 6 can be perfectly embedded inside the arc-shaped shell 7. Then, during the drying process, the water pump 10 is started to transport the water in the water tank 9 to the inside of the collection box 12 through the water pipe 11. This water can drip down in the form of water droplets through the drip pipe 13, and then drip onto the outer surface of the handle of the tray 6 through the through groove 8, thereby cooling the handle of the tray 6 and avoiding the risk of burns to the staff when removing the tray 6 due to the handle being too hot. This solves the problem that the existing earthworm manure fertilizer drying device heats the entire tray 6 during use, causing the handle of the tray 6 to overheat, and the staff is prone to accidental burns when removing the tray 6 after drying.
