In use, the chamber 1 is moved to the designated position, the drying chamber 6 is fixed on the upper part of the chamber 1 and the snap-fit groove 18 is engaged with the mounting base 5. The raw beans to be dried and dehydrated are added to the drying chamber 6. The heating temperature is set by the heating controller 4, and the mica heating plate 21 starts to heat up. At the same time, the fan 23 is started, and the heat is transferred to the inside of the drying chamber 6 through the fan 23. The hot air flow delivered by the fan 23 drives the beans to swirl in the drying chamber 6, achieving rapid drying and dehydration. Compared with the traditional fixed drying, its mobile drying is faster and has a better drying and dehydration effect.
[0023] Further improvements, such as Figure 2As shown: A sealing block 10 is provided at the lower part of the cover plate 7 and the sealing block 10 is fitted with the drying box 6. This arrangement can ensure the stability of the installation between the cover plate 7 and the drying box 6, and at the same time prevent excessive heat leakage during the drying process, thereby improving the drying efficiency.
[0024] Further improvements, such as Figure 1 As shown: The surface of the cover plate 7 is provided with a fixed handle 8. The design of the handle 8 makes it easy for operators to open or close the cover plate 7, improving the convenience of operation, and also facilitating the cleaning and maintenance of the inside of the drying oven 6.
[0025] Further improvements, such as Figure 1 As shown: The side of the housing 1 is provided with a control panel 2 and the control panel 2 is electrically connected to the internal drive device. The integration of the control panel 2 allows the operator to easily control various functions of the dryer, such as setting the heating temperature and controlling the speed of the fan 23, thereby improving the controllability and automation of the equipment.
[0026] Further improvements, such as Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figure 4: The drying chamber 6 is equipped with a stirring shaft 11 inside, and a connecting shaft 12 is provided at the lower part of the stirring shaft 11. The surface of the connecting shaft 12 is provided with a spline 13. The chamber 1 is equipped with a driver 15 inside, and a drive shaft 14 is provided at the power output end of the driver 15. The drive shaft 14 is equipped with a plug hole inside, and a keyway 25 is provided inside the plug hole. The connecting shaft 12 is connected to the plug hole in the drive shaft, and the keyway 25 and the spline 13 are interlocked. The surface of the stirring shaft is equipped with several sets of stirring blades 17. This arrangement enables automatic stirring of the raw materials inside the drying chamber 6, making the raw materials heat more evenly, improving drying efficiency and drying quality, and reducing the labor cost of manual stirring.
[0027] Further improvements, such as Figure 4 As shown: The surface of the mounting base 5 is provided with a fixedly installed filter screen 24. The filter screen 24 is designed to filter out impurities and dust in the raw materials, ensuring the quality of the dried food and extending the service life of the internal components of the dryer.
[0028] Further improvements, such as Figure 5 As shown: The mica heating plate 21 includes a mica plate 26 and a ring-shaped heating wire 27 is provided on the surface of the mica plate 26. A connecting line 28 is provided on the side of the heating wire 27 and the connecting line 28 is connected to the heating controller 4. The design of the mica heating plate 21 makes the heating more uniform and stable. The ring-shaped arrangement of the heating wire 27 increases the heating area and improves the heating efficiency. At the same time, the heating controller 4 can accurately control the heating temperature to meet different drying needs.
[0029] Further improvements, such as Figure 1 As shown: The drying box 6 can be fixed to the mounting base 5 by bolts or fixing pins. This setting makes the connection between the drying box 6 and the mounting base 5 more secure and avoids the drying box 6 from falling off or being damaged due to vibration or external force during the drying process.
[0030] Working Principle: The chamber 1 is moved to the designated position, easily moved and positioned using the casters 3 and 16, improving equipment flexibility and facilitating movement and use between different production sites. This reduces time costs associated with equipment handling and installation, increasing production efficiency. The drying chamber 6 is fixed to the upper part of the chamber 1, with the snap-fit groove 18 interlocking with the mounting base 5. Bolts or fixing pins further reinforce the connection, ensuring a stable connection between the drying chamber 6 and the chamber 1, preventing vibration and detachment during the drying process, improving equipment safety and stability, and ensuring smooth production. The beans requiring drying and dehydration are added to the drying chamber 6, the cover 7 is closed, and the sealing block 10 is interlocked with the drying chamber 6, achieving airtight drying of the raw materials. This prevents heat leakage and the entry of external air, improving drying efficiency and quality, reducing energy waste and environmental pollution. The heating temperature is set via the heating controller 4, and the mica heating plate 21 begins to heat up, while the fan 23... Upon startup, heat is transferred to the drying chamber 6 via fan 23, achieving precise heating control and efficient heat transfer. This ensures uniform and rapid heating of the raw materials, improving drying speed and efficiency while reducing energy consumption and production costs. The hot airflow from fan 23 agitates the bean raw materials within the drying chamber 6, while the stirring shaft 11 and stirring blades 17 rotate under the drive of driver 15, further agitating the materials. This automatic stirring and tumbling ensures more uniform heating, preventing localized overheating or undried conditions, thus improving drying quality and efficiency, and reducing labor and time costs associated with manual stirring. After drying, the heating controller 4 and fan 23 are turned off. Once the drying chamber 6 has cooled, the cover 7 is opened, and the dried raw materials are removed. This automatic shutdown and safe cooling system prevents equipment damage or accidents caused by improper operation, improving equipment safety and reliability, and ensuring operator safety and smooth production. Furthermore, the dried raw materials are of high quality with low moisture content, meeting production requirements.
