[0003] Materials need to be quick-frozen before drying. Existing quick-freezing equipment usually places the materials on a conveyor belt and freezes them through a quick-freezing box. Material residue and frost easily adhere to the surface of the conveyor belt, affecting the hygiene of use and increasing the running resistance of the conveyor belt.

Installed on one side of the conveyor belt 2; the water spray pipe 8 is set between the upper and lower layers of the conveyor belt 2, and the water spray pipe 8 is equipped with multiple downward spray nozzles 9; the water spray pipe 8 is connected to the water source and the air source respectively through the three-way connector 10 and the valve 11. By connecting to the air source, the water in the water spray pipe 8 can be discharged to prevent the water spray pipe 8 from freezing; the rotating cleaning component 12 is rotatably set below the nozzles 9, and the rotating cleaning component 12 is driven by the drive motor 13 and abuts against the surface of the conveyor belt 2; the rotating cleaning component 12 is a roller structure with a flexible cleaning medium on its surface; the coordinated action of the water spray pipe 8 and the rotating cleaning component 12 cleans the conveyor belt 2 to ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the conveyor belt 2.

[0026] Scraper 14 is located downstream of rotating cleaning component 12; scraper 14 is a plate-like structure with a soft edge at the top, used to scrape off water droplets on conveyor belt 2; airflow distribution hood 15 is fixedly located downstream of scraper 14 between upper and lower layers of conveyor belt 2, and the air outlet of airflow distribution hood 15 faces downward; the air outlet of airflow distribution hood 15 is a tapered guide structure; heating pipe 16 is fixed inside airflow distribution hood 15; blower 17 is fixed outside baffle 7, and the air outlet of blower 17 is connected to airflow distribution hood 15; airflow collection hood 18 is located below airflow distribution hood 15; the upper part of airflow collection hood 18 is a vertical guide section, and the lower part is a conical converging section; airflow collection hood 18 is connected to the air inlet of blower 17 through return air pipe 19; airflow distribution hood 15 dries conveyor belt 2, allowing the device to be put into use quickly and improving the efficiency of the device; airflow collection hood 18 recovers airflow, reduces heat diffusion, and saves energy.

The drive motor 13 drives the rotating cleaning component 12 to clean the conveyor belt 2. When the conveyor belt 2 moves to the scraper 14, the scraper 14 scrapes away the water droplets on the surface of the conveyor belt 2.

This allows for rapid deployment and improves the efficiency of the device. The airflow collection hood recovers airflow, reducing heat loss and saving energy. This invention, through improvements to the low-temperature air-conduction vacuum freeze dryer, offers advantages such as cleaning and drying the conveyor belt, ensuring hygiene, and improving the device's efficiency, effectively solving the problems and shortcomings of existing technologies and equipment.
