A pull plate 8 is fixed at the right end of the glass cover plate 4. The power end of the electric cylinder 7 is connected to the pull plate 8.

[0029] When vegetables are dried using this drying device, the extension of the electric cylinder 7 moves the glass cover 4 outward from the glass drying box 2 until the top of the glass drying box 2 opens. Vegetables are then placed inside the drying box and fall onto the drying mesh 3. The retraction of the electric cylinder 7 then inserts the glass cover 4 into the glass drying box 2 until its left end is inserted into the slot 5. Therefore, by placing vegetables in the glass drying box 2, where both the glass cover 4 and the glass drying box 2 are transparent, sunlight can pass through to dry the vegetables. The glass cover 4 and the drying mesh 3 also block flies and other insects, effectively reducing their contact with the vegetables and minimizing dust adhesion, making the drying process more hygienic. Furthermore, the through-holes 6 on the glass cover 4 and the mesh on the drying mesh 3 facilitate ventilation inside the drying box, helping to dissipate moisture and ensuring effective drying of the vegetables.

[0030] In this embodiment, a hair dryer 14 is fixed to the right end of the drying rack 1, and a shaft tube 15 is fixed to the right end of the glass drying box 2. The end of the shaft tube 15 is rotatably connected to and communicates with the air outlet of the hair dryer 14, and the lower end of the shaft tube 15 is connected to an L-shaped air pipe 16 extending to the bottom of the glass drying box 2. The upper end of the L-shaped air pipe 16 is connected to several air drying nozzles 17.

[0031] When it is necessary to speed up the drying of vegetables, the blower 14 supplies air to the shaft tube 15, L-shaped blower tube 16 and air drying nozzle 17, and then blows air into the glass drying box 2 through multiple air drying nozzles 17. The air enters the glass drying box 2 through the mesh of the drying rack 3, which facilitates the drying of vegetables in the glass drying box 2 and speeds up the drying process.

[0032] In this embodiment, a flipping drive assembly is provided on the left side of the glass drying box 2. The flipping drive assembly includes a brake motor 9, a main gear 10, a support shaft 11, and a secondary gear 12. The brake motor 9 is fixed to the left end inside the drying rack 1. The main gear 10 is connected to the power end of the brake motor 9. The support shaft 11 is fixed to the left end of the glass drying box 2, and the end of the support shaft 11 is rotatably connected to the left end inside the drying rack 1. The secondary gear 12 is fixedly sleeved around the support shaft 11. The main gear 10 and the secondary gear 12 mesh. A rain shield 23 that slides through the L-shaped air blower 16 is provided below the drying mesh plate 3. The drying box 2 is equipped with a sliding drive assembly at the bottom. The sliding drive assembly includes a forward and reverse motor 19, a lead screw 20, a sliding plate 21, and a guide shaft 18. The forward and reverse motor 19 is fixed to the inside of the L-shaped air duct 16. One end of the lead screw 20 is connected to the power end of the forward and reverse motor 19. A fixing plate is fixed to the left side of the lower end of the glass drying box 2, and the other end of the lead screw 20 is rotatably connected to the right side of the fixing plate. The sliding plate 21 is threaded around the lead screw 20. The guide shaft 18 is fixed between the L-shaped air duct 16 and the fixing plate, and the sliding plate 21 is slidably connected to the guide shaft 18. The end of the rain shield 23 is connected to the right side of the sliding plate 21.

[0033] When it rains, the operation of the forward and reverse motor 19 first drives the lead screw 20 to rotate. The lead screw 20 will drive the slide plate 21 to slide to the left along the guide shaft 18, and the slide plate 21 will pull the rain shield 23 to the left. After the rain shield 23 moves out of the movable opening 13, the rain shield 23 will move and cover the bottom of the drying net plate 3. Then, the operation of the brake motor 9 drives the main gear 10, the secondary gear 12 and the support shaft 11 to rotate 180 degrees and stop. Therefore, the support shaft 11 will drive the glass drying box 2 to flip up and down. At this time, the rain shield 23 is located above the glass drying box 2. The rain shield 23 blocks the rain, which helps to prevent the rain from wetting the vegetables drying outdoors and effectively ensures the normal drying of the vegetables afterwards.

[0034] In this embodiment, the glass cover plate 4 slides to the right through the right side of the glass drying box 2. A pull plate 8 is fixed to the right end of the glass cover plate 4. The power end of the electric cylinder 7 is connected to the pull plate 8. The drying rack 1 has an opening 13 on the right side. The rain shield 23 passes through the opening 13.

[0035] When it is necessary to discharge and collect the dried vegetables, with the glass cover 4 facing down, the pull plate 8 corresponds approximately to the movable opening 13. The movable opening 13 is set to a size that allows the pull plate 8 and the glass cover 4 to move. Therefore, by extending the electric cylinder 7, the glass cover 4 can be easily moved out of the glass drying box 2. The pull plate 8 and the glass cover 4 will move out of the drying rack 1 through the movable opening 13, so the glass drying box 2 can be opened easily. At this time, the dried vegetables in the glass drying box 2 can be quickly discharged and collected, effectively reducing the trouble of manual collection and making the operation convenient.

[0036] Working principle:

[0037] By placing vegetables in a glass drying box 2 for drying, the glass drying box 2, combined with a glass cover 4 and a drying mesh 3, blocks flies and other insects. A blower 14 supplies air to the shaft tube 15, L-shaped air duct 16, and drying nozzles 17, which then blow air into the glass drying box 2 through multiple drying nozzles 17. The air enters the glass drying box 2 through the mesh of the drying mesh, facilitating the drying of the vegetables. Furthermore, the operation of the forward and reverse motor 19 drives the lead screw 20 to rotate, which in turn causes the slide plate 21 to slide to the left along the guide shaft 18, and the slide plate 21 also pulls to the left to block rain. After the rain shield 23 moves out of the movable opening 13, it will move and cover the drying net 3 directly below. Then, the brake motor 9 drives the main gear 10, the auxiliary gear 12 and the support shaft 11 to rotate 180 degrees and stop. Therefore, the support shaft 11 will drive the glass drying box 2 to flip up and down until the rain shield 23 covers the top of the glass drying box 2. At this time, the rain shield 23 blocks the rain water, and the extension of the electric cylinder 7 can easily move the glass cover 4 out of the glass drying box 2, so that the glass drying box 2 can be opened easily and the dried vegetables inside the glass drying box 2 can be discharged and collected quickly.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
