[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown:

[0032] Example 1:

[0033] This utility model provides a modular agricultural product drying device, including a drying box 1, which is equipped with a temperature sensor and is electrically connected to a control panel 11.

[0034] The heat pump heating module 2 is installed at one end of the drying box 1 through the air duct. It includes auxiliary components such as compressor body, gas-liquid separator, liquid receiver, and dryer filter. It can compress low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas into high-temperature and high-pressure gas and exchange heat with the air in the drying box 1.

[0035] Multiple mounting slots 3 are respectively opened on the inner walls of both sides of the drying oven 1;

[0036] Multiple electric heating modules 4 are respectively snapped into the interior of multiple mounting slots 3;

[0037] Multiple infrared modules 5 are respectively snapped into the interior of multiple mounting slots 3;

[0038] Both the electric heating module 4 and the infrared module 5 are replaceable modules. Only one can be installed in the same mounting slot 3, and their installation dimensions and interface positions are completely compatible.

[0039] The stirring mechanism 6 is installed in the middle of the top inner wall of the drying oven 1;

[0040] The isolation cylinder 7 is vertically installed between the top inner wall and the bottom inner wall of the drying oven 1, and is sleeved on the outside of the stirring mechanism 6;

[0041] The electric heating module 4 includes a first mounting strip 41, an electric heating tube 42, and a first pull ring 43. The first mounting strip 41 is snapped into the mounting groove 3. The electric heating tube 42 is installed in the middle of the inner side of the first mounting strip 41. The electric heating tube 42 has a U-shaped structure and a high-temperature resistant insulating sleeve is fitted on the surface of the tube. The first pull ring 43 is installed in the front of the inner side of the first mounting strip 41.

[0042] The infrared module 5 includes a second mounting strip 51, an infrared heating tube 52, and a second pull ring 53. The second mounting strip 51 is snapped into the mounting groove 3. The infrared heating tube 52 is installed in the middle of the inner side of the second mounting strip 51, and a heat-concentrating reflector is provided on the outer side of the tube. The second pull ring 53 is installed in the front of the inner side of the second mounting strip 51.

[0043] Both the first mounting strip 41 and the second mounting strip 51 are configured as I-shaped structures. The I-shaped structure has high bending stiffness and torsional strength. One of them can be slidably connected to the mounting groove 3. The same mounting groove 3 can be compatible with different heating modules. The mounting groove 3 is configured as a convex structure, which can be adapted to the I-shaped structure.

[0044] Working Principle: During use, the heat pump heating module 2 provides basic heat energy to the drying chamber 1 through the air duct. Users can choose to install either the electric heating module 4 or the infrared module 5 via the mounting groove 3 on the inner wall of the drying chamber 1, depending on the drying requirements of different agricultural products. When the electric heating module 4 is selected, its first mounting strip 41 is fitted into the mounting groove 3, and the electric heating tube 42 is energized to generate heat, using a direct resistance wire heating method, suitable for agricultural products requiring rapid drying or surface hardening. When the infrared module 5 is selected, its second mounting strip 51 is fitted into the corresponding mounting groove 3, and the infrared heating tube 52 emits infrared rays of a specific wavelength, directly penetrating the surface of the agricultural product to cause internal moisture molecules to vibrate and generate heat, suitable for agricultural products with high moisture content or requiring deep drying. The stirring mechanism 6... Its stirring components agitate the materials, ensuring that agricultural products are heated evenly. The heat pump heating module 2, as the basic heat source, can provide a stable ambient temperature, which is especially suitable for agricultural products with high requirements for temperature uniformity. This modular design allows users to flexibly replace heating modules according to the characteristics of agricultural products, and precisely adjust the heating method and temperature distribution to ensure that agricultural products are dried under optimal conditions. It effectively solves the problems of fixed specifications and unadjustable heating methods of traditional drying equipment, and significantly improves the drying quality and equipment applicability, meeting the market's demand for drying diverse agricultural products.

[0045] Example 2:

[0046] This embodiment is basically the same as the previous embodiment, except that the stirring mechanism 6 includes a stirring shaft 61, a fixed frame 62, a drive assembly 63, two cleaning brushes 64, and multiple stirring rods 65. The stirring shaft 61 is installed in the middle of the top inner wall of the drying box 1 through bearings. The fixed frame 62 is installed on the outer wall of the stirring shaft 61. The surface of the frame is sprayed with a high-temperature resistant and non-stick coating. The drive assembly 63 is installed in the middle of the top of the drying box 1, and the output end of the drive assembly 63 penetrates the top wall of the drying box 1 and is installed at the top of the stirring shaft 61. The drive assembly 63 is a geared motor or a servo motor used to drive the stirring shaft 61 to rotate. The two cleaning brushes 64 are respectively installed at both ends of the fixed frame 62. The brush bristles are made of high-temperature resistant nylon. The multiple stirring rods 65 are installed between the inner walls on both sides of the fixed frame 62. The surface of the rods is also sprayed with a high-temperature resistant and non-stick coating.

[0047] A discharge hopper 8 is embedded in the middle of the bottom inner wall of the drying oven 1. An electric gate valve is provided at the hopper opening. Feed pipes 9 are installed on both sides of the top of the drying oven 1. A sealing door 10 is installed on the outer wall of the drying oven 1 through a hinge. A silicone sealing gasket is provided on the edge of the door. A control panel 11 is installed in the middle of the outer wall of the sealing door 10. The panel integrates a touch screen and physical buttons. Support feet 12 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the drying oven 1.

[0048] The bristles of the cleaning brush 64 come into contact with the inner wall of the isolation cylinder 7. By rotating, friction is generated, which can effectively scrape off pollutants such as particles, fibers, and adhesives attached to the inner wall. The isolation cylinder 7 is set with a mesh structure, using 304 stainless steel mesh with a mesh diameter of 5-10mm, which is used to isolate agricultural products and ensure the circulation of hot air.

[0049] Working principle: During use, the material is fed into the feed pipe 9, allowing the agricultural products to fall into the isolation cylinder 7. The heat pump heating module 2 provides the heat energy required for drying through the air duct. Users can choose to install an electric heating module 4 or an infrared module 5 according to the characteristics of the agricultural products. The electric heating tube 42 or the infrared heating tube 52 can meet the differentiated heating needs. During the heating process, the control panel 11 controls the start of the drive component 63, which drives the stirring shaft 61 to rotate, causing the fixed frame 62 and multiple stirring rods 65 to rotate synchronously, thoroughly stirring the agricultural products to ensure uniform heating and improve drying efficiency. At the same time, the cleaning brushes 64 at both ends of the fixed frame 62 continuously remove the residue attached to the inner wall of the isolation cylinder 7 to avoid accumulation that affects the drying effect. The dried material is discharged through the discharge hopper 8 in the middle of the bottom inner wall. This process not only improves the stability and reliability of drying but also extends the service life of the equipment and reduces maintenance costs.
