[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments:

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a rotary pepper drying device, including a support component 1, a drying component 2 and a pepper turning component 3. The drying component 2 is fixedly installed inside the support component 1 and dries the pepper. The pepper turning component 3 is set inside the support component 1 and dries the pepper more evenly.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support assembly 1 includes a drying cylinder 10 and a pepper support tray 14. The pepper support tray 14 is disposed inside the drying cylinder 10. A support leg 13 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the drying cylinder 10. A top cover 11 is provided on the top of the drying cylinder 10. A ventilation opening 12 is provided inside the top cover 11. The moisture in the pepper is discharged through the ventilation opening 12 on the top cover 11, thereby improving the drying quality of the pepper.

[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, a locking block 15 is fixedly connected inside the drying cylinder 10, and a slot 16 is provided at the bottom of the pepper tray 14. The locking block 15 is movably connected inside the slot 16. Through the cooperation between the locking block 15 and the slot 16, the pepper tray 14 is prevented from rotating together when the rotating shaft 32 rotates.

[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the drying assembly 2 includes a fan 21 and a heating element 22. The fan 21 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the drying cylinder 10, and the heating element 22 is located inside the drying cylinder 10. A fixed bracket 23 is fixedly installed inside the drying cylinder 10, and the heating element 22 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed bracket 23. The fixed bracket 23 provides support for the heating element 22, and the heating element 22 generates heat. The fan 21 blows the heat generated by the heating element 22 onto the peppercorns on the peppercorn tray 14. Through the combined action of the fan 21 and the heating element 22, the drying efficiency of the peppercorns is improved.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, a filter screen 20 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the drying cylinder 10. The filter screen 20 blocks dust and other impurities in the air, preventing impurities in the air from entering the interior of the drying cylinder 10, contaminating the peppercorns, and reducing the quality of the peppercorns.

[0028] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the pepper turning assembly 3 includes a rotating shaft 32 and a pepper turning rod 35. The pepper turning rod 35 is movably installed inside the rotating shaft 32. A motor mounting base 31 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the drying cylinder 10. A motor 30 is fixedly installed inside the motor mounting base 31. The motor 30 is fixed to the bottom of the drying cylinder 10 through the motor mounting base 31. A rotating shaft 32 is fixedly installed at one end of the motor 30. The rotating shaft 32 is rotatably installed inside the drying cylinder 10. The motor 30 drives the rotating shaft 32 to rotate, and then the rotating shaft 32 drives the pepper turning rod 35 to rotate, turning the peppers placed on the pepper tray 14. Through the combined action of the motor 30, the rotating shaft 32 and the pepper turning rod 35, the peppers can be dried evenly.

[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the pepper tray 14 is rotatably mounted on the outside of the rotating shaft 32. The rotating shaft 32 has an installation groove 33 inside. The pepper flipping rod 35 is movably mounted inside the installation groove 33. A fixing ring 34 is threaded to the outside of the rotating shaft 32. A pad 36 is movably mounted inside the installation groove 33. The pad 36 is set on the top of the pepper flipping rod 35. The pepper flipping rod 35 is fixed by the fixing ring 34 and the pad 36, so that the pepper flipping rod 35 can stick to the upper surface of the pepper tray 14 to flip the pepper.

[0030] The working principle of this rotary pepper drying device will be explained in detail below.

[0031] like Figure 1-4As shown, when using this rotary pepper drying device, the pepper turning rod 35 and the pad 36 are placed inside the mounting groove 33. Then, the fixing ring 34 is threaded onto the top of the pad 36, securing the pepper turning rod 35 to the pad 36. This allows the pepper turning rod 35 to adhere to the upper surface of the pepper tray 14 and turn the peppers. The peppers are then laid flat on the pepper tray 14. The fan 21 and heating element 22 are activated. A filter screen 20 is installed at the bottom of the fan 21 to block dust and other impurities from the air, preventing them from entering the drying cylinder 10 and contaminating the peppers, thus reducing their quality. The heating element 22 then heats the peppers. The fan 21 blows the heat generated by the heating element 22 onto the peppercorns on the peppercorn tray 14. The combined action of the fan 21 and the heating element 22 improves the drying efficiency of the peppercorns. The vents 12 on the top cover 11 expel moisture from the peppercorns, improving the drying quality. At the same time, the motor 30 drives the rotating shaft 32 to rotate, which in turn drives the peppercorn turning rod 35 to rotate. The cooperation of the locking block 15 and the locking groove 16 prevents the rotating shaft 32 from rotating the peppercorn tray 14 along with it, thus turning the peppercorns placed on the peppercorn tray 14. Through the combined action of the motor 30, the rotating shaft 32, and the peppercorn turning rod 35, the peppercorns can be dried evenly.

[0032] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
