[0002] Mushroom drying trays are containers used for drying edible fungi. They are typically made of plastic, metal, or bamboo and wood, with perforated surfaces or a mesh structure, and a flat, non-slip bottom. Their design facilitates air circulation, accelerates moisture evaporation, and improves drying efficiency. Some trays also feature stacking capabilities to increase capacity. Suitable for the natural air drying or mechanical drying of edible fungi such as shiitake mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms, they reduce fungal adhesion and maintain the fungi's integrity, making them a common tool in post-harvest processing of edible fungi. Currently, mushroom drying trays rely on external hot air circulation, resulting in a significant temperature difference between the center and edges, leading to uneven drying. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 6 The present invention provides a further description of an embodiment of a tray for drying edible fungi.

[0027] A tray for drying edible fungi includes a tray frame 1 and handles 2. The handles 2 have two parts. The tray also includes an air outlet mechanism disposed on the tray frame 1 for adjusting the air outlet angle. A heating mechanism is disposed on the tray frame 1 for drying operations. The heating mechanism includes: a heat-conducting plate 3 disposed inside the tray frame 1 for heat conduction; a heating element 4 disposed inside the heat-conducting plate 3 for heating; and a grid plate 5 disposed on the heat-conducting plate 3 and fixedly connected to the heat-conducting plate 3.

[0028] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 In a preferred embodiment, the air outlet mechanism includes: an installation part disposed within the tray frame 1 for component installation; a connecting part disposed on the tray frame 1 for gas flow; an adjustment part disposed within the installation part for air outlet adjustment; and a drive part disposed within the installation part for providing power.

[0029] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment, the mounting part includes: a mounting plate 6, which is disposed in the pallet frame 1 and fixedly connected to the pallet frame 1; and multiple mounting slots 7, which are disposed in the mounting plate 6 for component mounting.

[0030] refer to Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment, the connecting part includes: a plurality of connecting grooves 8, which are disposed on the tray frame 1 for gas flow; two filter plates 9, which are disposed in the connecting grooves 8 for filtration; and two sliding members 10, which are disposed in the connecting grooves 8 and fixedly connected to the connecting grooves 8.

[0031] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In a preferred embodiment, the adjustment part includes: a plurality of connecting shafts 11, which are disposed within the mounting plate 6 and rotatably connected to the mounting plate 6; a plurality of adjusting plates 12, which are disposed on the connecting shafts 11 and fixedly connected to the connecting shafts 11; and a plurality of gears 13, which are disposed on the connecting shafts 11 and fixedly connected to the connecting shafts 11.

[0032] refer to Figure 5 In a preferred embodiment, the drive unit includes: a drive motor 14, which is disposed in the mounting groove 7 and fixedly connected to the mounting groove 7; a threaded rod 15, which is disposed at the output end of the drive motor 14 and fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 14; and a moving member 16, which is disposed on the threaded rod 15 and threadedly connected to the threaded rod 15.

[0033] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In a preferred embodiment, the drive unit further includes: a connecting plate 17 disposed on the moving member 16 and fixedly connected to the moving member 16; and a rack 18 disposed on the connecting plate 17 and fixedly connected to the connecting plate 17.

[0034] In this configuration, both gear 13 and rack 18 are made of medium carbon steel, which offers high working precision and allows for meshing between gear 13 and rack 18. A heat insulation plate is installed at the bottom of the heat-conducting plate 3 to allow hot air to flow upwards. The drive motor 14 can rotate the threaded rod 15. The moving part 16 can move the rack 18 via the connecting plate 17, which in turn drives the gear 13 to rotate, thereby rotating the connecting shaft 11 and the adjusting plate 12 to adjust the angle of the adjusting plate 12.

[0035] This device, by incorporating a heating mechanism, allows for the placement and direct drying of edible fungi during the drying process, ensuring uniform heating of the grid plate 5 and guaranteeing high-quality drying. Furthermore, the device's air outlet mechanism, via gears 13 and racks 18, adjusts the angle of the adjusting plate 12 during the drying process, thereby changing the air outlet speed to adapt to the varying needs of different stages of edible fungi drying.

[0036] Working Principle: When this device is in operation, it is placed inside the drying unit via the sliding member 10. After the edible fungi are laid on the tray, the drying heating element 4 is activated, and heat is dissipated through the heat-conducting plate 3 to dry the edible fungi on the grid plate 5. Simultaneously, the drive motor 14 is activated, driving the threaded rod 15 to rotate clockwise. This causes the moving member 16 to move along the threaded rod 15 away from the drive motor 14. Simultaneously, the connecting plate 17 drives the rack 18 to move, which in turn drives the gear 13 to rotate, causing the air outlet adjustment plate 12 to rotate and adjust until it reaches 90°, the maximum air outlet position. This allows hot air that cannot directly reach the edible fungi to enter the air outlet area through the connecting groove 8 and be discharged, forming a vertical airflow circulation. During operation, when the moisture content of the edible fungi reaches a certain level, the heating power of the heating element 4 is reduced, and the drive motor 14 rotates counterclockwise until the adjustment plate 12 reaches 45°, reducing the hot air discharge speed.

[0037] The above description of the embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
