[0027] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, a basket for drying crabapple fruit includes a drying box 1. Several trays 2 are installed in the drying box 1 at equal intervals. Several baskets are placed on the trays 2. Each basket includes a basket frame 4 and a basket body 5 that is snapped onto the bottom of the basket frame 4.

[0028] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown in Figure 5, the outer frame 4 of the holding basket includes a rectangular frame 401. Several slots 403 are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the left and right sides of the rectangular frame 401, and these slots 403 are equidistantly distributed. Several grooves 402 are formed around the outer perimeter of the rectangular frame 401 to allow for gaps for handling. The main body 5 of the holding basket includes several mounting crossbars 501 that cooperate with the slots 403, and a grid 502 is installed between adjacent mounting crossbars 501. The mounting crossbar 501 and the slot 403 have symmetrically formed grooves 503 on their left and right contact surfaces. A ball 404 is engaged in the groove 503. A telescopic rod 405 is installed at the end of the ball 404 away from the groove 503. The fixed end of the telescopic rod 405 is installed in a telescopic channel 407 formed on the inner side wall of the slot 403. A spring 406 is sleeved on the telescopic rod 405. One end of the spring 406 abuts against the ball 404, and the other end abuts against the fixed end of the telescopic rod 405. Specifically, align the two grooves 503 on the mounting crossbar 501 of the main body of the basket 5 with the slots 403 on the rectangular frame 401 of the outer frame 4 of the basket. Press the outer frame 4 of the basket firmly, and under the pressure, the ball 404 enters the groove 503. Under the elastic force of the spring 406, it squeezes the mounting crossbar 501, thereby realizing the rapid installation of the main body of the basket 5 and the outer frame 4 of the basket.

[0029] The left and right outer walls of the tray 2 are equipped with sliders 3, and the inner wall of the drying oven 1 is equipped with a groove that matches the sliders 3.

[0030] like Figure 6 As shown, a heightening railing 6 is inserted into the top of the holding basket via a connector 8. Through holes 7 are provided at the four corners of both the rectangular frame 401 of the holding basket and the four corners of the heightening railing 6. By installing the heightening railing 6, the capacity of the holding basket can be increased, allowing it to be used as a temporary storage basket and improving its practicality.

[0031] like Figure 7 , 8 As shown, the connector 8 includes a threaded head 802, the lower end of which is integrally formed with several circumferentially distributed elastic rods 803. A rotating head 801 is threaded onto the threaded head 802, and a flared opening 805 is provided at one end of the rotating head 801 near the elastic rods 803. A protrusion 804 is installed around the bottom outer periphery of the elastic rods 803, and a recess that mates with the protrusion 804 is provided on the inner sidewall of the through hole 7 of the basket. Specifically, during connection, the elastic rod 803 is inserted into the through hole 7. Due to its own elasticity, when the protrusion 804 moves downward to the recess, it will directly lock onto it, thus achieving fixation. During disassembly, by rotating the rotating head 801, its flared mouth 805 moves downward, compressing one end of the elastic rod 803 and causing it to converge inward. As the diameter of the other end of the elastic rod 803 decreases, the protrusion 804 will move out of the recess. At this point, the connector 8 can be pulled out. After pulling out, the rotating head 801 returns to its original position, preparing for the next connection.

[0032] The operation process of this utility model is as follows:

[0033] First, place the crabapple slices into the holding baskets; then, according to the size of tray 2, select an appropriate number of holding baskets and place them on it, arranging them in order on each layer of tray 2; finally, start the drying oven 1 to begin the drying process, and after drying is complete, remove the holding baskets from each layer of tray 2.

[0034] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
