Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of drying equipment technology, and specifically refers to a combined support frame and dryer for drying agricultural crops. Background Technology

[0002] In the post-harvest processing of agricultural products, especially the drying of cash crops such as chili peppers, traditional drying methods mostly employ fixed racks for sun-drying or simple ovens for hot air drying. This is because chili peppers, as thin-skinned, high-moisture, and easily moldy crops, require good ventilation and a uniform heating environment for drying. Drying equipment for grain crops, on the other hand, primarily uses ovens, where the grains are directly piled inside for drying and heat preservation. This makes it difficult to accommodate the hanging drying requirements of crops like chili peppers that need to be spread out. Therefore, drying cash crops like chili peppers, which require sun-drying, and drying grain crops require different drying equipment with different container structures, resulting in narrow applicability and higher equipment costs.

[0032] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the movement and transportation of the support base 1, the bottom of the support base 1 is rotatably connected with a movable roller 18.

[0033] Furthermore, the specific structure of this utility model in actual application on a dryer is as follows: it includes the above-mentioned combined support for drying crops and a dryer body. The dryer body has a drying chamber, and several of the combined supports are distributed laterally in the drying chamber. One side of the dryer body is a placement port that communicates with the drying chamber. A placement door that can cover and seal the placement port is hinged at the placement port. The placement port is the access channel for the combined supports to enter and exit the drying chamber.

[0034] To facilitate pushing the combined support frame into or out of the drying chamber, guide outer support plates are provided laterally on the walls of the drying chamber on both sides of the combined support frame, and guide inner support plates 19 are provided on the side walls of the combined support frame, which are staggered vertically with the guide outer support plates. Furthermore, guide slides are provided laterally on the bottom surface of the drying chamber, and the combined support frame slides on the guide slides.

[0035] The above embodiments are only one of the preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the shape, structure and principle of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
