[0027] The connection method can be any existing method, such as bonding, welding, or bolting, depending on the actual needs.

[0028] A vegetable drying device that can recover waste heat, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, since the existing structure uses a starting blow to flip the vegetables, the existing equipment can only flip light and small vegetable fragments, and cannot provide rotational power for whole vegetables with greater weight. This application mainly solves the problem of rotating heavier vegetables.

[0029] include:

[0030] The box 1 is used for connection. The top of the box 1 is hinged to a cover plate 5 for opening and closing via a hinge 7. In order to ensure the sealing of the overall structure of the device, a sealing ring is provided at the bottom of the cover plate 5 and a groove is provided at the top of the box 1.

[0031] The side wall of the cover plate 5 is connected to the side wall of the box body 1 by the provided latch 8. Under the action of the hinge 7 and the latch 8, the cover plate 5 can be easily connected to the box body 1, making it easy to add vegetables and use the device.

[0032] A cylindrical barrel 9 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the box 1. The side wall of the barrel 9 is composed of multiple layers of mesh fabric. The two ends of the mesh fabric are fixed to the circular plates connected to the ends of the barrel 9. The mesh fabric allows the hot air entering the box 1 to fully contact the vegetables inside the barrel 9, increasing the contact area and improving the drying efficiency of the vegetables.

[0033] A universal joint is fixedly connected to one end of the barrel 9. The universal joint allows for small-angle adjustments within a certain range. The universal joint is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 6 that provides power through the side wall of the box 1. The fixed part of the drive motor 6 is connected to the side wall of the box 1 with screws. The output shaft of the drive motor 6 is controlled to rotate, causing the connected barrel 9 to rotate inside the box 1. This rotation allows the vegetables placed inside the barrel 9 to come into full contact with the hot air, accelerating the drying process.

[0034] A high-temperature resistant linear motor 12 is installed on one side of the inner wall of the box 1. The moving part of the linear motor 12 is connected to a sliding plate 11. The side wall of the sliding plate 11 is rotatably connected to the end of the barrel 9. By controlling the movement of the moving part of the linear motor 12, the barrel 9 is tilted. With the cooperation of the universal joint, the stability of the barrel 9 can be ensured. Thus, when the dried vegetables are taken out of the barrel 9, the discharge speed can be accelerated by controlling the tilt of the barrel 9.

[0035] The side wall of the barrel 9 is provided with two symmetrically arranged movable plates 10. The movable plates 10 are movably connected to the side wall of the barrel 9. The side wall of one movable plate 10 is movably connected to the barrel 9 through a fixing device, and the other movable plate 10 is operated by an electric control device, such as an electric push rod. Under the electric push rod and its associated structure, the associated structure adopts an existing mature structure that can automatically open and close the movable plate 10. After the vegetables are dried, the movable plate 10 located at the bottom of the box 1 opens and, in conjunction with the left and right rotation and swing of the barrel 9, completes the discharge.

[0036] To ensure that the moving plate 10 is always located at the top and bottom of the box 1 when the barrel 9 rotates, a geared motor and its matching structure are installed at the end of the barrel 9. Under the action of the controller, the position of the moving plate 10 can always be kept fixed.

[0037] An inclined material gathering trough 15 is provided at the bottom of the inner side of the box 1. The material gathering trough 15 can accelerate the rapid gathering of discharged vegetables.

The auger 16 can further accelerate the discharge of vegetables. A through-type discharge port with a buckle valve is provided on one side of the auger 16 for easy discharge.

[0038] A number of equally spaced air vents 14 are provided on the inner wall of the box 1. The air vents 14 are arranged parallel to the material gathering trough 15. The arrangement of the air vents 14 can not only allow hot air to heat the vegetables inside the box 9 from bottom to top, but also provide power for the vegetables gathering at the bottom of the material gathering trough 15, further accelerating the gathering speed.

[0039] The air outlet 14 is connected to the hollow output pipe 2 fixed to the side wall of the box 1. The side wall of the output pipe 2 is connected to the side wall of the electric heating device 4. A negative pressure fan is provided at the connection to accelerate the output speed of hot air. The side wall of the electric heating device 4 is welded to the side wall of the box 1.
