With the above settings, the operator can freely adjust the internal space layout of the drying equipment according to the size, shape and type of food, thereby achieving a more efficient drying effect. This not only improves the versatility and adaptability of the equipment, but also significantly improves the drying efficiency and quality, meeting the diverse needs of drying various foods. After adjusting the height of the placement tray 9 according to the type of food and locking it, the heating tubes 31 are started to directly heat the air inside the chamber. With the help of the external air box 4, the airflow is circulated to form a uniform hot air that runs through the placement tray 9 to dry and heat the food.

[0023] Reference Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment: a first spring 20 is slidably connected to the surface of the rotating rod 12. One end of the first spring 20 is fixed to the circular plate 13, and the other end of the first spring 20 is fixed to the pull plate 17. By setting the structure of the first spring 20, the pull plate 17 can be quickly driven to pull the fixing block 18 away from the inside of the fixing hole 19, which is convenient for the operator to use next time.

[0024] Reference Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment: sliders 21 are fixed on both sides inside the fixed shell 10, and grooves 22 that cooperate with the sliders 21 are provided at both ends of the moving plate 14. By setting the structure of sliders 21 and grooves 22, the movement trajectory of the moving plate 14 can be constrained to avoid shaking.

[0025] Reference Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment: two second springs 23 are fixed on one side of the movable plate 14. The second springs 23 are located on both sides of the square block 11. The other end of the second springs 23 is fixed to the inside of the fixed shell 10.

After the position of the placement plate 9 is adjusted, the rotating rod 12 is pulled to drive the square block 11. And by using the rebound force of the second springs 23, the movable plate 14 is pushed to drive the insertion block 15 into the interior of the limiting groove 16, thereby completing the connection. The operation is very simple.

[0026] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment: guide blocks 24 are fixed on both sides inside the placement tray 9, and guide grooves 25 that cooperate with the guide blocks 24 are opened on both sides of the rotating shaft 6. By setting the structure of guide blocks 24 and guide grooves 25, the placement tray 9 can maintain stability and smoothness when moving.

Through the above arrangement, the food on the tray 9 can be evenly exposed to hot air during the drying process, thereby achieving a more uniform drying effect and improving the drying quality and the final quality of the food.

[0028] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment: the surface of the placement tray 9 is provided with multiple ventilation holes 30, and the four corners of the bottom of the drying box 1 are all fixed with casters 3. By setting the ventilation holes 30, the circulation of hot air and the temperature uniformity can be significantly improved, ensuring that the food can be heated evenly during the drying process and avoiding the problems of local overheating or insufficient drying.

[0029] Working principle: By pulling the pull plate 17 outward, the user moves the fixing block 18 away from the fixing hole 19. Pulling the rotating rod 12 moves the square block 11 away from the rotating shaft 6. During this process, the moving plate 14 is pulled, causing the insert block 15 to leave the limiting groove 16, thus releasing the restriction on the placement tray 9. Through this setup, the operator can freely adjust the internal spatial layout of the drying equipment according to the size, shape, and type of food, achieving a more efficient drying effect. This not only improves the equipment's versatility and adaptability but also significantly enhances drying efficiency and quality, meeting the diverse needs of drying various foods. After adjusting and locking the height of the placement tray 9 according to the type of food, the heating tube 31 directly heats the air inside the chamber. Combined with the external air box 4, this drives airflow circulation, forming uniform hot air that penetrates the placement tray 9 to dry and heat the food. The structure of the first spring 20 allows the pull plate 17 to quickly pull the fixing block 18 away from the fixing hole 19, facilitating the operator's next use. The structure of the slider 21 and the groove 22 allows for the movement of the moving plate 14. The trajectory is constrained to prevent shaking. By setting the structure of the second spring 23, when the position of the placement tray 9 is adjusted, the second spring 23 is in a compressed state. After the position of the placement tray 9 is adjusted, the rotating rod 12 is pulled to drive the square block 11, and the rebound force of the second spring 23 is used to push the moving plate 14 to drive the insert block 15 into the interior of the limiting groove 16, thereby completing the connection. The operation is very simple. By setting the structure of the guide block 24 and the guide groove 25, the placement tray 9 maintains stability and smoothness when moving. The starting motor 29 drives the pulling plate 17 to rotate, and the rotating rod 27 drives the driving gear 28 to rotate, thereby making the driving gear 28 and the driven gear 26 mesh and connect, thereby driving the rotating shaft 6 to rotate. Through the above settings, the food on the placement tray 9 can be evenly contacted with hot air during the drying process, thereby achieving a more uniform drying effect, improving the drying quality and the final quality of the food. By setting the structure of the vent 30, the flow of hot air and temperature uniformity can be significantly improved, ensuring that the food can be evenly heated during the drying process and avoiding the problems of local overheating or insufficient drying.
