Corn Seed Drying Device

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of planting, and particularly discloses a corn seed drying device. The corn seed drying device comprises a rack, a drying cylinder, a fixing mechanism and a hot airblower; the drying cylinder is fixed on the rack, and a containing cavity is formed in the side wall; the fixing mechanism comprises a stepping motor, a movable block, a sliding plate and fixing rods;a sliding rail is arranged at the bottom of the containing cavity, the movable block can slide along the sliding rail, the sliding plate is fixed on the movable block, and the plurality of fixing rods are distributed on the sliding plate in the vertical direction; the fixing rods can only rotate relative to the sliding plate, the ends of the fixing rods penetrate through the side wall of the containing cavity, and the stepping motor is fixed on the movable block and can drive the fixing rods to rotate; the end parts, facing the drying cylinder, of the fixing rods are provided with grooves andtraction ropes which can be clamped into the grooves; and the hot air blower is fixed on the rack, and the side wall of the drying cylinder is provided with an air outlet and a plurality of air inletholes communicating with the hot air blower. According to the corn seed drying device, corn cobs can be rapidly dried.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of planting, in particular to the field of seed storage. Background technique [0002] Maize is an annual herbaceous plant belonging to the Gramineae family. Maize is a monoecious cross-pollinated plant with tall plants and strong stems. It is an important food crop and feed crop, and it is also the crop with the highest total output in the world. Corn seeds are edible. They are rich in protein, fat, vitamins, trace elements and cellulose. They are also known as longevity foods and are very popular among consumers. [0003] Corn seeds grow on corn cobs. Since corn cobs are inedible, corn seeds need to be threshed before processing corn seed food. However, corn seeds contain a large amount of slurry, and direct threshing will cause the corn seeds to burst, and the slurry will spill out, resulting in waste, so the corn needs to be dried before threshing. The corn kernels on the smaller corn cobs are also smaller, so i...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] The traditional drying method is to dry the corn seeds in the sun to evaporate the water in the corn seeds, but this method depends on the weather. If the temperature is low or there is no sunlight when the corn is harvested, the evaporation rate of the water in the seeds will decrease. And there is no sunlight at night, so the efficiency of this drying method is low
