[0022] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention are given for the purpose of illustration and description, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.

[0023] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides a drying device for chili seeds, including a movable drying rack 1, an installation component 2 mounted on the drying rack 1, a drying tray 8 mounted on the installation component 2, and a protective sheet 9 detachably mounted on the drying tray 8.

[0024] The installation component 2 includes a fixing part 3 and a rotating part 4. The rotating part 4 is fixedly connected to the drying tray 8. A positioning element is provided through the fixing part 3 and is inserted and fixed to the drying tray 8. The protective sheet 9 and the bottom area of ​​the drying tray 8 are both set as a mesh structure with a hole size smaller than the size of the chili seeds. A storage component is provided at the bottom of the drying tray 8. When not in use, the mesh structure is inserted into the storage component.

[0025] In the above solution, the movable drying rack 1 allows for flexible adjustment of the device's position based on environmental conditions such as light and ventilation; the rotating part 4 of the mounting component 2 can drive the drying tray 8 to rotate, thereby turning the seeds, and with manual handling, the chili seeds can receive light and ventilation from multiple angles. The positioning component fixes the drying tray 8 by plugging it in, and can fix it in a horizontal position after the drying tray 8 rotates; the protective sheet 9 and the mesh structure at the bottom of the drying tray 8 can ensure air circulation and light transmission while preventing chili seeds from falling; when not in use, the protective sheet 9 can be inserted into the storage component for storage.

[0026] In the above scheme, when turning the seeds, the protective sheet 9 is placed on the drying tray 8, then the positioning pin 6 is removed, and the drying tray 8 is rotated to turn the chili seeds inside, thereby ensuring that the chili seeds are dried evenly. After turning, the drying tray 8 is adjusted to a horizontal state, and then the positioning pin 6 is inserted to fix the drying tray 8.

[0027] The above solution solves the problems of fixed location and uneven drying of traditional devices, and improves environmental adaptability; the mesh structure effectively prevents seeds from being lost, while ensuring the ventilation and light conditions required for drying; the retractable design of the protective sheet 9 reduces the problems of loss or cumbersome operation caused by misplaced parts, and improves the ease of use.

[0028] The drying tray 8 has two sets of support blocks 10 symmetrically arranged inside. Both sets of support blocks 10 are close to the top of the drying tray 8, and the protective sheet 9 is supported by the support blocks 10. The support blocks 10 are located on the inner side of the top of the drying tray 8. When the protective sheet 9 is covered on the drying tray 8, the support blocks 10 exert an upward supporting force on the protective sheet 9, keeping the protective sheet 9 at a certain height and preventing direct contact with the chili seeds.

[0029] A set of snap-fit ​​blocks 11 are respectively provided on both sides of the protective sheet 9. The snap-fit ​​blocks 11 are bent. When the protective sheet 9 is covered on the drying tray 8, the inner side wall of the snap-fit ​​block 11 is in abutting contact with the outer side wall of the drying tray 8. The inner side wall of the snap-fit ​​block 11 is provided with anti-slip protrusions 12.

[0030] In the above solution, the bent snap-fit ​​block 11 can wrap around the outer wall of the drying tray 8, and the protective sheet 9 is fixed to the drying tray 8 by the friction generated by the contact. The anti-slip protrusion 12 increases the coefficient of friction between the snap-fit ​​block 11 and the outer wall of the drying tray 8, further enhancing the fixing effect. This allows for quick disassembly and installation of the protective sheet 9, making the operation simple. In strong winds, it can effectively prevent the protective sheet 9 from being blown over or shifted, ensuring windproof and anti-falling effects and reducing seed loss.

[0031] The storage component includes two storage plates 13 symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the drying tray 8. Each storage plate 13 has a limiting groove 14, and the protective sheet 9 is respectively positioned by the limiting grooves 14 on the two storage plates 13. When the protective sheet 9 is not in use, its two edges are inserted into the limiting grooves 14 on the two storage plates 13. The limiting grooves 14 restrict the lateral and longitudinal movement of the protective sheet 9 by constraining its two sides, ensuring it is stably stored at the bottom of the drying tray 8. The storage component provides a dedicated storage space for the protective sheet 9, preventing confusion caused by lost or carelessly placed parts; it does not occupy extra space when stored and is easy to access.

[0032] The fixing part 3 is provided with an annular groove 5, and the locking block on the rotating part 4 is located in the annular groove 5. The rotating part 4 is slidably connected to the annular groove 5. The positioning component includes a positioning pin 6, and the fixing part 3 and the drying tray 8 are respectively provided with insertion holes 7.

[0033] The locking block of the rotating part 4 slides within the annular groove 5 of the fixed part 3, causing the drying tray 8 to rotate around the central axis of the fixed part 3, achieving multi-angle adjustment. After rotation, the positioning pin 6 is inserted into the corresponding insertion hole 7 of the fixed part 3 and the drying tray 8 to restrict the sliding of the rotating part 4, thereby fixing the drying tray 8. The rotating structure solves the problem of uneven light and ventilation caused by the traditional fixed drying tray 8, making the seeds dry more evenly and improving seed quality.

[0034] This solution solves the problem of uneven drying in traditional devices by setting a rotating part 4 to drive the drying tray 8 to rotate, combined with positioning parts for fixation, ensuring uniform drying of seeds and improving quality; the mesh structure of the protective sheet 9 and the bottom of the drying tray 8 allows for ventilation and light transmission while preventing seeds from falling; the protective sheet 9 is securely installed by the snap-fit ​​block 11 and anti-slip protrusion 12, providing good wind protection; the storage component provides dedicated storage space for the protective sheet 9, reducing component loss and cumbersome operation, and improving drying efficiency.
