Traditional methods for drying fruits and vegetables mostly involve natural air drying or using simple heating equipment. Natural air drying is greatly affected by weather conditions, takes a long time, and is easily contaminated by dust, insects, and other pollutants, leading to a decline in the quality of the fruits and vegetables. On the other hand, simple heating equipment has low drying efficiency, uneven heat distribution, and can easily cause localized overheating or incomplete drying of the fruits and vegetables, affecting their taste and nutritional content.

[0003] With the development of technology, some fruit and vegetable dryers have appeared on the market, but these dryers have some structural shortcomings. For example, the connection between the heat pump and the drying chamber is not stable enough, and it is prone to shaking or displacement during use, affecting the drying effect; moreover, the installation and disassembly of the heat pump is relatively troublesome, making equipment maintenance and repair inconvenient. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new type of fruit and vegetable dryer to solve the problems existing in the current technology. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the unstable connection between the heat pump and the drying chamber, which can easily cause shaking or displacement during use and affect the drying effect. Therefore, this invention proposes a fruit and vegetable dryer.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] In order to dry the fruits and vegetables placed on the steel filter screen, a heat pump is installed on the side of the drying chamber. The heat pump has an exhaust port that is connected to the drying chamber. Two sets of positioning components are provided between the heat pump and the drying chamber. The two sets of positioning components are used to quickly fix the heat pump. The two sets of positioning components are respectively located on both sides of the side of the drying chamber.

[0008] In one possible design, each set of positioning components includes two fixing blocks fixed to the side of the drying chamber. Each of the two fixing blocks has a first groove, and each of the two first grooves has a slider that slides in it. Each of the two first grooves has a spring, and the two ends of the two springs abut against the inner wall of the two first grooves and the side ends of the two sliders respectively through spring seats. Each of the side ends of the two sliders has a locking block, and the side end of the heat pump has a locking groove. Each of the two locking blocks engages with the locking groove.

[0009] The heat pump and the drying chamber can be quickly and stably fixed by two sets of positioning components that hold the heat pump in place from both sides.

[0010] In one possible design, each set of positioning components further includes two paddles, each paddle being fixed to the side end of one of the two sliders.

[0011] In one possible design, two connecting rods are fixed between the four levers, and the two connecting rods are respectively used to release the positioning of the heat pump by the two sets of positioning components.

[0012] In one possible design, the drying chamber is provided with a sealing gasket at the end near the heat pump, and the sealing gasket is fitted around the air inlet.

[0013] In one possible design, casters are fixed at the four corners of the bottom of the drying chamber.

[0014] In this application, two sets of positioning components are used to quickly fix the heat pump from both sides of the drying chamber. This connection method ensures the stability and reliability of the connection between the heat pump and the drying chamber, avoiding shaking or displacement during use, thereby improving the drying effect, ensuring that fruits and vegetables are heated evenly, and improving the drying quality.

[0015] Beneficial effects: In this utility model, the fruit and vegetable dryer uses two sets of positioning components to quickly fix the heat pump from both sides of the drying chamber. This connection method ensures the stability and reliability of the connection between the heat pump and the drying chamber, avoiding shaking or displacement during use, thereby improving the drying effect, ensuring that fruits and vegetables are heated evenly, and improving the drying quality.

[0016] In this invention, a fruit and vegetable dryer includes a sealing gasket located at the end of the drying chamber near the heat pump, which is fitted around the air inlet.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] In one embodiment: Refer to Figures 1-4 A fruit and vegetable dryer, which is used in the field of dryer technology, includes a drying chamber 1, a heat pump 2, a positioning component, etc., and the various parts work together to achieve the function of drying fruits and vegetables.

[0024] The drying chamber 1 is the main structure of the entire dryer, and a placement rack 7 is fixed inside it. A steel filter screen 8 is fixed inside the placement rack 7, and the steel filter screen 8 is used to place the fruits and vegetables to be dried. An air inlet is opened inside the drying chamber 1, and a communication gap is formed between the steel filter screen 8 and the drying chamber 1. This gap is used to allow hot air to enter, so that the hot air can evenly contact the fruits and vegetables placed on the steel filter screen 8 to achieve the drying purpose.

[0025] A heat pump 2 is installed on the side of the drying chamber 1. The heat pump 2 has an exhaust vent that is connected to the drying chamber 1. When the heat pump 2 is working, the hot air generated enters the drying chamber 1 through the exhaust vent to dry the fruits and vegetables.

[0026] Two sets of positioning components are provided between the heat pump 2 and the drying chamber 1. The two sets of positioning components are respectively located on both sides of the side end of the drying chamber 1 for quick fixation of the heat pump 2. By fixing the heat pump 2 from both sides, the stability and reliability of the connection between the heat pump 2 and the drying chamber 1 can be ensured, and shaking or displacement during use can be avoided.

[0027] Each positioning assembly includes two fixing blocks 4 fixed to the side of the drying chamber 1. Each fixing block 4 has a first groove 9, and a slider 12 is slidably connected within the first groove 9. A spring 11 is also provided within the first groove 9, with its two ends abutting against the inner wall of the first groove 9 and the side of the slider 12 respectively via spring seats. A locking block 13 is fixed to the side of the slider 12, and a locking groove 5 is provided on the side of the heat pump 2.

[0028] When installing the heat pump 2, bring the heat pump 2 close to the drying chamber 1, causing the locking block 13 to be squeezed, pushing the slider 12 to slide in the first groove 9, and compressing the spring 11. When the locking block 13 moves to the position corresponding to the slot 5, the elastic force of the spring 11 causes the slider 12 to return to its original position, and the locking block 13 is locked into the slot 5, thereby achieving a quick and fixed connection between the heat pump 2 and the drying chamber 1.

[0029] Each positioning assembly also includes two levers 6, which are fixed to the sides of the two sliders 12 respectively. Two connecting rods 14 are fixed between the four levers 6. When it is necessary to disassemble the heat pump 2, simply pull the connecting rods 14. The connecting rods 14 drive the four levers 6 to move, and the levers 6 cause the sliders 12 to slide in the first groove 9. The spring 11 is compressed, and the locking block 13 is disengaged from the locking groove 5, thereby releasing the positioning of the heat pump 2 by the two positioning assemblies, and making it convenient and quick to remove the heat pump 2 from the drying chamber 1.

[0030] In another embodiment: Refer to Figures 1-4 An improvement upon Example 1: A sealing gasket is provided at the end of the drying chamber 1 closest to the heat pump 2, and the sealing gasket is fitted around the air inlet. The sealing gasket effectively prevents hot air leakage when entering the drying chamber 1, improving drying efficiency and reducing heat loss. Casters 3 are fixed at the four corners of the bottom of the drying chamber 1. The casters 3 facilitate user movement of the dryer according to actual needs, enhancing the dryer's flexibility and ease of use.

[0031] The accompanying drawings in this application are for illustrative purposes only. The dimensions and shapes of the components shown are not actual limitations but are merely schematic representations. In actual implementation, the components can be reasonably configured and adjusted according to specific needs and actual conditions.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
