[0021] 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.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a drying and dehumidifying device for lunchbox ingredients, including a drying chamber 1 and a drying and dehumidifying mechanism for lunchbox ingredients installed inside the drying chamber 1. The drying and dehumidifying mechanism includes a motor 2 installed at the bottom center of the inner side of the drying chamber 1 and a support plate 3 installed at the top of the output end of the motor 2. The motor 2 can drive the support plate 3 to rotate, thereby driving the storage bucket 4 to rotate. The top of the support plate 3 supports a transparent storage bucket 4, which is made of transparent material to facilitate the drying of the lunchbox ingredients inside by the drying lamp 6. Multiple air holes 5 are evenly opened on the side wall of the storage bucket 4, allowing hot air to pass through. The air vent 5 allows the storage container 4 to pass through. Four drying lamps 6 are installed in a rectangular pattern on the inner wall of the drying chamber 1 via mounting bases. The four drying lamps 6 are installed at the four corners of the drying chamber 1, allowing the food ingredients in the storage container 4 to be dried from four directions using existing principles. A top cover 7 is hinged to one side of the top of the drying chamber 1, and a hot air blower 8 is installed at the bottom center of the top cover 7. When the top cover 7 is flipped over and placed on the top of the drying chamber 1, the hot air blower 8 can blow hot air into the storage container 4 from above to dry the food ingredients. The output end of the hot air blower 8 passes through the bottom of the top cover 7 and extends to the top of the top cover 7.

[0023] Specifically, the top of the support plate 3 has two symmetrical slots 9, and the bottom of the storage bucket 4 has two symmetrical plugs (not shown in the figure). The plugs are inserted into the corresponding slots 9, which can conveniently fix the storage bucket 4 to the top of the support plate 3. The storage bucket 4 can rotate with the support plate 3.

[0024] Furthermore, the top of the storage bucket 4 is symmetrically connected with two handles 10 by screws, which facilitate lifting and moving the storage bucket 4. The handles 10 have rounded corners to improve the grip.

[0025] Furthermore, a rubber pad 11 is glued to the top edge of the top cover 7 to ensure the airtightness of the top cover 7 when it is closed and to prevent heat leakage. The top cover 7 and the corresponding side of the drying oven 1 are equipped with a latch, which fixes the top cover 7 to the top of the drying oven 1.

[0026] It is worth noting that there is an inspection port on the lower part of one side wall of the drying oven 1, and a baffle 12 is hinged to the bottom of the inspection port. By opening the baffle 12, the motor 2 and other structures can be maintained through the inspection port.

[0027] It is worth noting that a latch is installed between the top of the baffle 12 and the corresponding side of the drying chamber 1. The baffle 12 can be opened by opening the latch. A handle 13 is connected to the side of the baffle 12 away from the drying chamber 1 by screws. The baffle 12 can be opened or closed easily by using the handle 13.

[0028] It is worth mentioning that a nameplate 15 is affixed to one side of the outer wall of the drying oven 1. The nameplate 15 indicates the operating precautions for easy reference. Each of the four corners of the bottom of the drying oven 1 is equipped with a caster wheel 16 with braking function, which facilitates the movement of the device.

[0029] It is worth emphasizing that the side wall of the motor 2 is fixedly fitted with a mounting base 14, and the mounting base 14 is connected to the corresponding side of the drying oven 1 by multiple screws to ensure the stability of the motor 2 during operation.

[0030] Among them, motor 2, drying lamp 6, and hot air blower 8 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail; at the same time, this utility model also includes a power supply, controller, and switch, etc., which are not the main technical points of this patent and will not be described in detail; the "front, back, left, and right" perspectives of this device are as follows: Figure 1 The direction shown in the diagram is the reference.

[0031] Working principle: Place the food ingredients into the inside of the storage container 4, then flip the top cover 7 over and lock it. Turn on the motor 2, drying lamp 6 and hot air blower 8. The motor 2 can control the support plate 3 to rotate, which drives the storage container 4 to rotate continuously and slowly. During the rotation of the storage container 4, the food ingredients inside are dried by the four drying lamps 6. At the same time, the hot air blower 8 above continuously blows hot air into the storage container 4 from above to dry the food ingredients inside. With the drying lamps 6, the food ingredients can be dried and dehumidified more efficiently and the drying is more uniform.

[0032] After drying and dehumidification are complete, turn off motor 2, drying light 6 and hot air blower 8, unlock the top cover 7, and then lift the storage bucket 4 upwards using handle 10 to remove the storage bucket 4 and the food container ingredients inside. Removing the food container ingredients is quite convenient.

[0033] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
