Abstract: A drying apparatus based on peristaltic propelling, including a heat supply module, a drying chamber and a conveying device. The conveying device is arranged in the drying chamber. The drying chamber is provided with a heat source inlet, a heat source outlet, a feeding port and a discharging port. A heat output point of the heat supply module is arranged at the heat source inlet and is configured to provide heat to the drying chamber. The conveying device is configured to provide a platform for laying and propelling a material. The conveying device includes a platform formed by alternate stacking of at least two grid groups. A gap is provided between two adjacent grids. The gap is kept unobstructed and the material is flipped when the material is propelled forward. The gap formed between the adjacent movable grids facilitates improving the fluidity of the air, enhancing the drying efficiency.
