Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and more specifically, to a drying device for food processing. Background Technology
[0002] Drying refers to a process of removing solvents while retaining solid content. It usually involves passing hot air through the material to evaporate and remove moisture. Food dryers are commonly used continuous drying equipment that can be widely used in industries such as chemical, food, pharmaceutical, building materials, and electronics. They are designed to inhibit the growth and reproduction of microorganisms and extend the shelf life of food for convenient long-term storage or transport.
[0003] Traditional drying equipment generally consists of a chamber and a dryer. However, the structure of traditional drying equipment is relatively simple. Most of them simply put the food into the chamber for drying. This method makes it difficult for the food to be heated on all sides, resulting in slow drying efficiency.
[0004] Furthermore, the limited storage methods for food make it impractical for drying different types of food. Utility Model Content

[0032] In this embodiment, the suspension device includes a suspension plate 10, which is rotatably mounted on the top wall of the housing 1. A second motor 11 is fixedly provided on the upper end face of the housing 1, and the output end of the second motor 11 is fixedly connected to the suspension plate 10. A curved hook 12 is provided at the bottom of the suspension plate 10. Multiple curved hooks 12 are provided and arranged in a circumferential shape. An internal threaded cylinder 13 is provided correspondingly on the lower end face of the suspension plate 10, and the upper end of the curved hook 12 is threadedly connected to the internal threaded cylinder 13.
[0033] More specifically, users can place larger food items into the food storage tray 9, then turn on the dryer body 2 to heat them. Simultaneously, the first motor 6 is controlled to make the gear 7 drive the rotating disc 3 and the food to rotate slowly, so as to facilitate heating multiple sides of the food and thus increase drying efficiency. When drying food items packaged with ropes, such as sausages, cured meats, or dried vegetables, they can be directly hung on the lower end of the curved hook 12 and the door closed. Then, the second motor 11 is controlled to make the hanging disc 10 drive the curved hook 12 to rotate, thereby rotating the food hanging below and making its drying effect better, which helps to increase the practicality of the device in use.
[0034] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5As an implementation method to increase the storage space of the device: a door 14 is hinged to the front end of the box 1.

[0038] In summary, when using the overall equipment: users can place larger food items into the food storage tray 9, then turn on the dryer body 2 to heat them. Simultaneously, the first motor 6 controls the gear 7 to drive the rotating disc 3 and the food to rotate slowly, facilitating heating of multiple sides of the food and increasing drying efficiency. When drying food items packaged with ropes, such as sausages, cured meats, or dried vegetables, they can be directly hung on the lower end of the curved hook 12, and the door closed. The second motor 11 then controls the hanging disc 10 to drive the curved hook 12 to rotate, rotating the food hanging below, thus improving the drying effect and enhancing the device's practicality. When drying smaller food items, they can be placed in the hanging box 16, and the hanging box 16 is installed inside the door 14 using the cooperation of the first hook 15 and the second hook 17. After closing the door 14, hot air enters the hanging box 16 through the air inlet 18 during drying, contacting the small food items to achieve the drying effect, making it convenient to use.
