Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vegetable dehydration technology, specifically to a vegetable dehydration and drying equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Vegetables refer to a class of plants or fungi that can be cooked and eaten. Vegetables are an essential part of people's daily diet and are considered green foods. Vegetables provide the human body with a variety of essential vitamins and minerals. In addition, vegetables contain a variety of phytonutrients, which are recognized as effective components for health. Currently, research has found that the nutrients in fruits and vegetables can effectively prevent chronic and degenerative diseases. Here we are talking about a hot air drying equipment for dehydrated vegetables.

[0003] Chinese Patent No. CN216220117U discloses a hot air drying device for dehydrated vegetables, including a housing and a shock-absorbing device. A motor is fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the shock-absorbing device, a motor shaft is movably connected to the upper side wall of the motor, a storage platform is fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the motor shaft, a fixing frame is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the motor shaft, and a bushing is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the motor shaft. Heating plates are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the inner side wall of the housing. This invention has a reasonable design. By setting a hydraulic telescopic rod, the height of the drying equipment can be adjusted as needed, greatly improving its applicability and increasing the drying effect. By setting heating plates, the internal temperature of the housing can be adjusted as needed. By setting a shock-absorbing device, the equipment is less susceptible to vibration damage, reducing losses for enterprises.
