[0016] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a dehumidification device for drying fresh wolfberries, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. By using a hot air blower, hot air circulates within the drying chamber, the first vent pipe, the fixed chamber, the second vent pipe, and the hot air blower itself, thus preventing hot air from escaping to the outside and avoiding a large loss of hot air. This ensures the drying effect of goji berries while saving the electricity consumed by the hot air blower, saving energy and reducing the cost of drying fresh goji berries.

[0019] 2. During the flow of hot air from the fixed box and the ventilation box, the absorbent cotton absorbs the moisture in the hot air, thus achieving the effect of dehumidification. When the absorbent cotton has absorbed a lot of moisture, the rotating shaft and rotating plate are rotated 180°, so that the two ventilation boxes on the rotating plate are swapped. The new absorbent cotton absorbs and dehumidifies the moisture in the hot air. At the same time, the electric cylinder pushes the pressure plate downward, and the pressure plate squeezes the absorbent cotton in the corresponding ventilation box to squeeze out the moisture inside the absorbent cotton, so that it can be reused.

[0020] 3. Since the ventilation box is installed on the side of the rotating plate by inserting multiple pins into multiple slots, lifting the ventilation box upwards separates the multiple pins from the multiple slots, making it easy to remove the ventilation box from the inside of the fixed box and to replace the absorbent cotton inside the ventilation box.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-5A dehumidification device for drying fresh goji berries includes a drying chamber 1, a hot air blower 2 connected to the side of the drying chamber 1, a fixed chamber 3 fixedly connected to the side of the drying chamber 1, a sealing plate 4 hinged to the side of the fixed chamber 3, a second sealing gasket 26 provided between the sealing plate 4 and the fixed chamber 3 to ensure the sealing of the connection between the sealing plate 4 and the fixed chamber 3, the sealing plate 4 being connected to the fixed chamber 3 via a snap lock 5, a rotating plate 6 rotatably connected to the inside of the fixed chamber 3, a first sealing gasket 22 fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating plate 6, the outer side wall of the first sealing gasket 22 sealingly contacting the inner side wall of the fixed chamber 3 to ensure the sealing of the connection between the rotating plate 6 and the fixed chamber 3, a rotating shaft 7 fixedly connected to the top of the rotating plate 6, the rotating shaft 7 rotatably connected to the fixed chamber 3, a handle 23 fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft 7 for easy rotation of the rotating shaft 7, and the outer side of the rotating shaft 7 being... A rotating block 24 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the fixed box 3. A limiting plate 25 that cooperates with the rotating block 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed box 3, which plays a limiting role for the rotating shaft 7 and the rotating plate 6. Two ventilation boxes 8 are detachably installed on the rotating plate 6. Multiple first ventilation ports 9 are evenly arranged at the bottom of the ventilation box 8. Water-absorbing cotton 10 is placed inside the ventilation box 8. Second ventilation ports 11 are arranged on the water-absorbing cotton 10 at positions corresponding to the multiple first ventilation ports 9. The top of the ventilation box 8 is connected to the upper inside of the drying box 1 through the first ventilation pipe 9. The bottom of the ventilation box 8 is connected to the input end of the hot air blower 2 through the second ventilation pipe 13. The drying box 1, the first ventilation pipe 9, the fixed box 3 and the second ventilation pipe 13 are all covered with heat insulation material to prevent a large amount of heat from being lost through the drying box 1, the first ventilation pipe 9, the fixed box 3 and the second ventilation pipe 13.

[0031] Specifically, the hot air is circulated inside the drying chamber 1, the first ventilation pipe 9, the fixed box 3, the second ventilation pipe 13, and the hot air blower 2 by the operation of the hot air blower 2, thereby preventing the hot air from escaping to the outside and avoiding a large amount of heat loss. While ensuring the drying effect of goji berries, it also saves the power consumed by the hot air blower 2, saves energy, and reduces the cost of drying fresh goji berries.

[0032] Please see Figure 3 Two electric cylinders 14 are installed on the top of the fixed box 3 away from the drying box 1. The telescopic rods of the two electric cylinders 14 extend into the interior of the fixed box 3 and are fixedly connected to the pressure plate 15, which facilitates the squeezing of the absorbent cotton 10 and the squeezing out of the water inside the absorbent cotton 10. A water storage tank 19 is connected to the bottom of the fixed box 3 at the position corresponding to the pressure plate 15. A drain pipe 20 is connected to the bottom of the water storage tank 19. A valve 21 is installed on the drain pipe 20 to facilitate the collection of water.

[0033] Specifically, during the flow of hot air from the fixed box 3 and the ventilation box 8, the absorbent cotton 10 absorbs the moisture in the hot air, thereby achieving the effect of dehumidification. When the absorbent cotton 10 absorbs a large amount of moisture, the rotating shaft 7 and the rotating plate 6 are rotated 180°, so that the two ventilation boxes 8 on the rotating plate 6 are swapped. The new absorbent cotton 10 absorbs and dehumidifies the moisture in the hot air. At the same time, the electric cylinder 14 pushes the pressure plate 15 downward, and the pressure plate 15 squeezes the absorbent cotton 10 inside the corresponding ventilation box 8, squeezing out the moisture inside the absorbent cotton 10, so that it can be reused.

[0034] Please see Figure 5 Multiple support plates 16 are fixedly connected to the side bottom of the rotating plate 6. Each of the multiple support plates 16 is provided with two slots 17. Multiple insertion posts 18 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the ventilation box 8. The multiple insertion posts 18 are inserted into the interior of the multiple slots 17 respectively, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the ventilation box 8 and the replacement of the absorbent cotton 10.

[0035] Specifically, since the ventilation box 8 is installed on the side of the rotating plate 6 by inserting multiple pins 18 into multiple slots 17 respectively, by lifting the ventilation box 8 upwards, the multiple pins 18 are separated from the multiple slots 17, making it easy to remove the ventilation box 8 from the inside of the fixed box 3, and making it easy to replace the absorbent cotton 10 inside the ventilation box 8.

[0036] In summary, when using the overall equipment:

[0037] Place the fresh goji berries to be dried inside the drying chamber 1, then turn on the hot air blower 2. The hot air blower 2 circulates hot air within the drying chamber 1, the first vent pipe 9, the fixed chamber 3, the second vent pipe 13, and the hot air blower 2. This hot air circulation dries the fresh goji berries inside the drying chamber 1. The moisture generated during the drying process enters the fixed chamber 3 with the airflow. Most of the hot air circulates through the absorbent cotton 10 near the drying chamber 1 and through the first vent 9 and the second vent 11 on the vent box 8. The absorbent cotton 10 absorbs the moisture from the hot air, thus removing moisture. When the absorbent cotton 10 has absorbed a significant amount of moisture, rotate the... Take 23, rotating shaft 7 and rotating plate 6, and rotate plate 6 180°. At this time, the side end of rotating block 24 contacts the side end of limiting plate 25, so that the two ventilation boxes 8 are swapped. Then, the electric cylinder 14 pushes the pressure plate 15 to move downward. The pressure plate 15 squeezes the absorbent cotton 10, squeezing out the water inside the absorbent cotton 10 and letting it flow into the water storage tank 19. When it is necessary to replace the absorbent cotton 10, move the pressure plate 15 to the top, then open the sealing plate 4, then lift the ventilation box 8 upward and pull the insert 18 out of the slot 17. Then take the ventilation box 8 out of the fixed box 3 and replace the absorbent cotton 10 inside.
