[0018] Please see Figures 1-4 A foldable food drying rack includes a drying rack 1. The drying rack 1 has a support component inside for supporting food when it is stacked. The support component includes multiple mounting brackets 2 set on the inner wall of the drying rack 1, which can fix one end of a tray 3. Each mounting bracket 2 has a tray 3 inside. The tray 3 can rotate with the mounting bracket 2 through a fixed shaft 301, so as to realize unfolding and storage. Fixed shafts 301 are set at both ends of the tray 3. An extension plate 5 is set on one side of the tray 3. The extension plate 5 is rotatably connected to the tray 3 through a connecting ring 4, so as to extend the length of the tray 3. When unfolded, it is parallel to the tray 3 to form a support plate for supporting food. Multiple protrusions 6 and grooves 601 are set on the top of the extension plate 5 and the tray 3. The protrusions 6 can lift and support the food placed on the tray 3 and the extension plate 5, so that the bottom of the food is relatively suspended to facilitate the conduction of heat energy.
[0019] Multiple mounting brackets 2 are distributed on both sides of the inner wall of the drying rack 1. One end of the fixed shaft 301 is connected to the end of the tray 3, and the other end extends into the interior of the mounting bracket 2 and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting bracket 2 through a bearing. The rotation range of the fixed shaft 301 within the mounting bracket 2 is limited, so that the tray 3 rotates to be parallel to the drying rack 1. The extension plate 5 is located on the front side of the tray 3. Multiple protrusions 6 and grooves 601 are arrayed on the top of the extension plate 5 and the tray 3, and the protrusions 6 and grooves 601 on the top of the extension plate 5 and the tray 3 are staggered.
[0020] Specifically: During use, by pulling the tray 3, the tray 3 and the mounting frame 2 are rotated and unfolded. Then, the extension plate 5 on the tray 3 is pulled in conjunction with the connecting ring 4 to rotate the extension plate 5 and the tray 3, unfolding them parallel to form a support plate. Food can then be placed on the support plate. The support plate can separate the food when stacked, preventing direct contact between the food and the food. The protrusions 6 on the support plate can support the food above, making the food relatively suspended, which facilitates the transfer and conduction of heat energy and improves the uniformity of heat distribution, ensuring uniform drying of food and product quality.
[0021] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 5 A connecting ring 4 is provided at the junction of the extension plate 5 and the tray 3 to connect the extension plate 5 and the tray 3. A magnetic sheet 501 is provided at the bottom of the extension plate 5. Each of the multiple mounting brackets 2 has a slot 7 on one side. The slot 7 can position the angle of the extension plate 5 and the tray 3 when folded and stored, and load them when stored. A magnet 701 is provided on the inner wall of the slot 7. The magnet 701 can be magnetically attracted to the magnetic sheet 501 inside the extension plate 5 that extends into the slot 7, so that the extension plate 5 and the tray 3 can be attracted and fixed when stored.
[0022] The connecting ring 4 is distributed at both ends of the support plate 3 and the extension plate 5, and the inner sides of both ends are rotatably connected to the support plate 3 and the extension plate 5 respectively through bearings. The extension plate 5 can rotate with the support plate 3 through the connecting ring 4. By rotating, the extension plate 5 and the support plate 3 can switch between parallel and overlapping. When the extension plate 5 and the support plate 3 rotate and overlap, the protrusions 6 on the top of the extension plate 5 and the support plate 3 are embedded in the corresponding grooves 601. The magnetic sheet 501 is connected to the bottom of the extension plate 5. When the extension plate 5 and the support plate 3 overlap, the support plate 3 and the mounting bracket 2 rotate to drive the extension plate 5 to be embedded in the hole groove 7, and the external magnetic sheet 501 is magnetically connected to the magnet 701 on the inner wall of the hole groove 7.
[0023] Specifically: After the extension plate 5 and the tray 3 are used, the extension plate 5 can be pulled to rotate with the connecting ring 4 and the tray 3, and folded with the tray 3. When folding, the protrusions 6 on the extension plate 5 and the tray 3 are embedded in the opposite grooves 601, which can position the angle of the extension plate 5 and the tray 3 when folded. Then, by rotating the tray 3 and the mounting bracket 2, the extension plate 5 and the tray 3 can be rotated and extended into the slot 7. The magnet 701 on the inner wall of the slot 7 is attracted to the magnetic sheet 501 inside the extension plate 5, thereby supporting and locking the position of the extension plate 5 and the tray 3 when stored.
