Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying rack technology, and in particular to a smart fruit and vegetable drying rack with solar-assisted ventilation. Background Technology

[0002] Sun-drying refers to placing items in a ventilated or shady place to dry. It's a general term for fruits and vegetables, specifically edible fruits and vegetables. It's a food category, as opposed to meat. Sun-drying racks are used in the process of making dried fruits and vegetables.

[0003] Patent document CN205987896U discloses a fruit and vegetable drying rack, mainly comprising a support frame and several dehydration layers. The support frame has top rods on its left and right sides for placing the dehydration layers, and load-bearing rods at both ends. Each dehydration layer includes a frame and a screen, with the screen laid flat in the middle of the inner side of the frame. The dehydration layers are rectangular, and the frame is made of wood or stainless steel. Several settling points are provided on the top rods, and these settling points fit the frame, with the width of the settling points being the same as the frame. The support frame is made of wood or stainless steel. This utility model has a simple structure and low cost. One support frame can hold multiple dehydration layers, and multiple support frames can be stacked, enabling batch layer-by-layer drying of fruits and vegetables, ensuring that the dried fruits and vegetables are clean and hygienic.

[0004] When the above application is used, although it can dry the fruits and vegetables in batches layer by layer, the temperature rises slowly because it relies solely on the heat of the sun. Furthermore, if there is no wind during the drying process, the fruits and vegetables will dry slowly and may even become moldy over time. Utility Model Content

[0039] Working principle: In use, the fruits and vegetables to be dried are placed on the mesh plate 204. Then, the fan 502, motor 603, and inverter 130 are connected to the power connection terminal of the battery 133 through wires. The solar panel 132 is connected to the inverter 130. Then, the motor 603 and fan 502 are controlled to work. The motor 603 drives the cam 604 to rotate, thereby squeezing the push plate 601 on the push rod 602. This causes the gas in the airbag 600 to enter the airbag tube 605 through the connecting pipe. Then, the bottom of the airbag tube 605 pushes the push rod 203 on the top of the slide plate 202, thereby causing the fruits and vegetables on the mesh plate 204 to shake. At the same time, the fan 502 is controlled to work. The fan 502 dries the raw materials on the mesh plate 204 from below, and accelerates the air circulation inside the cover 200. Under sunlight, the plastic film 3 will increase the temperature inside the cover 200, which will facilitate the drying of fruits and vegetables.

[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. The substitutions may be replacements of some structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
