Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of agricultural seed processing, in particular to a drying device for preparing agricultural seeds. Background Art
[0002] In the process of agricultural seed preparation, traditional drying devices often have problems such as uneven drying, low efficiency and seed damage. Specifically, traditional drying equipment usually adopts a static drying method, that is, the seeds are placed in a fixed container and the seeds are dried by heating the air or the bottom of the container. This method is likely to cause uneven heating of the seeds. Some seeds may be over-dried or even burnt due to long-term contact with the heat source, while other seeds may maintain a high humidity due to insufficient heating, thereby affecting the quality and storage stability of the seeds. In addition, static drying is also prone to cause adhesion between seeds, increasing the difficulty of subsequent processing. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a drying device that can achieve comprehensive and uniform drying of seeds while avoiding seed damage and adhesion, so as to improve drying efficiency and ensure seed quality. Summary of the invention
[0003] The present invention aims to provide a drying device for preparing agricultural seeds, which can achieve comprehensive and uniform drying of seeds while avoiding seed damage and adhesion, thereby improving drying efficiency and ensuring seed quality.
[0004] The above technical objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions: A drying device for preparing agricultural seeds, comprising a drying barrel, wherein a material tray is provided inside the drying barrel, and the side of the material tray is spaced apart from the inner wall of the drying barrel; An upper elastic horn and a lower elastic horn are concentrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the material tray, respectively. The ends with smaller openings of the upper elastic horn and the lower elastic horn are connected to the material tray, and the ends with larger openings are connected to the inner wall of the drying barrel. An electric heating wire is arranged inside the drying barrel at a position below the material tray; A track is arranged on the inner wall of the drying barrel around the material tray, the track is annular in structure and its path is wavy up and down, and an electric slider is arranged on the track; The electric sliding block is provided with a support rod, and one end of the support rod away from the electric sliding block abuts against the edge of the bottom of the material tray.
[0005] In some embodiments, the heating wire is a double-layer structure, the two layers of heating wire are arranged at intervals, and the two layers of heating wire are both warp and weft woven structures.
[0006] In some embodiments, the support rod contacts the tray via a ball bearing.
[0007] In some embodiments, the support rod is in an L-shaped structure, and its corners are connected by a hinge mechanism.
[0008] In some embodiments, the upper elastic horn and the lower elastic horn are both porous structures.
[0009] In some embodiments, the upper elastic horn and the lower elastic horn are made of silicone material.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention realizes dynamic fluctuation of the tray during the drying process by providing an upper elastic horn and a lower elastic horn with the tray to form an hourglass-shaped structure, and by using a combination of an electric slider and a support rod. The electric slider moves around the tray along a wave-like up-and-down path, and repeatedly lifts the edge of the tray through the support rod, so that the seeds on the tray are constantly lifted and turned during the drying process, thereby ensuring that the seeds can fully and evenly contact the heat source, and achieving an efficient and uniform drying effect.
[0011] The elastic pulling effect of the upper elastic horn and the lower elastic horn of the present invention not only achieves the effect of elastic reset, but also plays a buffering role in the process of lifting the seeds, thereby avoiding damage to the seeds caused by direct impact or excessive squeezing.

[0018] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present embodiment provides a drying device for preparing agricultural seeds, comprising a drying barrel 1, wherein a material tray 7 is arranged inside the drying barrel 1, and the side of the material tray 7 is spaced apart from the inner wall of the drying barrel 1, and an upper elastic horn 8 and a lower elastic horn 9 are concentrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the material tray 7, respectively, and the ends with smaller openings of the upper elastic horn 8 and the lower elastic horn 9 are both connected to the material tray 7, and the ends with larger openings are both connected to the inner wall of the drying barrel 1, and the three constitute an hourglass-shaped structure, wherein the upper elastic horn 8 and the material tray 7 constitute a bowl-shaped structure for containing seeds to be dried, and an electric heating wire 2 is arranged at a position below the material tray 7 inside the drying barrel 1, and the electric heating wire 2 is used to heat the material tray 7 to provide sufficient heat for the drying process; The drying device realizes the dynamic fluctuation of the material tray 7 during the drying process by arranging the upper elastic horn 8 and the lower elastic horn 9 and the combination of the electric slider 4 and the strut 5. The electric slider 4 moves around the tray 7 along a wave-like up-and-down path, and repeatedly lifts the edge of the tray 7 through the support rod 5, so that the seeds on the tray 7 are constantly lifted and turned during the drying process, thereby ensuring that the seeds can be fully and evenly exposed to the heat source, and achieving an efficient and uniform drying effect. In addition, the electric heating wire 2 directly heats the tray 7 during the drying process, providing sufficient heat for the drying process. At the same time, due to the continuous turning of the seeds, the heat can be transferred to each part of the seeds more quickly, shortening the drying time and improving the drying efficiency. In addition, the elastic pulling effect of the upper elastic horn 8 and the lower elastic horn 9 not only plays an elastic reset effect, but also can play a buffering role in the process of lifting the seeds, avoiding damage to the seeds caused by direct impact or excessive extrusion. At the same time, the dynamic drying method also reduces the adhesion between seeds, maintaining the integrity and appearance quality of the seeds.
[0019] The working principle of the present invention is mainly based on the concept of dynamic drying and uniform heating. First, the seeds to be dried are placed in a bowl-shaped structure formed by the upper elastic horn 8 and the tray 7. Then, the electric heating wire 2 is started to heat the tray 7 to provide sufficient heat for the drying process. At the same time, the electric slider 4 starts to move around the tray 7 along a wave-like up and down path driven by electricity. The support rod 5 on the electric slider 4 continuously lifts the edge of the tray 7 as it moves, so that the tray 7 presents a wave-like repeated ups and downs. In this process, the upper elastic horn 8 and the lower elastic horn 9 are elastically pulled to play the role of elastic reset, and the seeds on the tray 7 are also fully and evenly lifted and turned. By constantly turning the seeds, they can fully contact the heat generated by the electric heating wire 2, achieving an efficient and uniform drying effect. When the drying is completed, turn off the electric heating wire 2 and the electric slider 4, and take out the dried seeds.
[0020] Preferably, Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the electric heating wire 2 is a double-layer structure, the two layers of electric heating wire 2 are arranged at intervals, and the two layers of electric heating wire 2 are both warp and weft woven structures; the two layers of electric heating wire 2 are controlled separately by the control system, and the heating power can be adjusted independently to achieve flexible control of the drying temperature; at the same time, since the two layers of electric heating wire 2 are arranged at intervals, an air circulation channel is formed, which is conducive to the uniform distribution of heat and the turning of seeds, further improving the drying efficiency and the quality of seeds. The above design enables the drying device to adjust the drying temperature more flexibly. According to the type of seeds, water content and different requirements of the drying stage, the heating power of the two layers of electric heating wire 2 can be adjusted separately by the control system, so as to achieve accurate control of the temperature of different areas in the drying barrel 1. This design not only improves the flexibility of drying, but also ensures that the seeds are dried under the best temperature conditions, avoiding the degradation of seed quality due to excessively high or low temperatures.
[0021] Preferably, Figure 5 As shown, the support rod 5 contacts the tray 7 through the ball 6; the ball 6 is embedded in the end of the support rod 5 away from the electric slider 4, and can roll freely when the support rod 5 contacts the tray 7, thereby reducing the friction resistance between the support rod 5 and the tray 7, making the support rod 5 smoother when lifting the tray 7, reducing energy loss, and avoiding the adverse effects of heat generated by friction on the seeds; at the same time, the rolling characteristics of the ball 6 can also make the support rod 5 disperse the pressure more evenly in the process of lifting the tray 7, avoiding deformation or damage of the tray 7 due to excessive local force, and further ensuring the integrity and drying effect of the seeds. Specifically, the support rod 5 contacts the tray 7 through the ball 6, and the free rolling characteristics of the ball 6 significantly reduce the friction resistance between the support rod 5 and the tray 7. In the process of the electric slider 4 driving the support rod 5 to lift the tray 7, this design makes the movement of the support rod 5 smoother, without overcoming large friction, thereby reducing energy loss. This not only improves the working efficiency of the drying device, but also extends the service life of the equipment. The traditional direct contact between the support rod 5 and the tray 7 is prone to generate heat due to friction after working for a long time. This heat may be transferred to the seeds, causing adverse effects on the quality of the seeds. After adopting the design of the ball 6, due to the rolling characteristics of the ball 6, the friction between the support rod 5 and the tray 7 is greatly reduced, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of frictional heat and protecting the quality of the seeds. In addition, the rolling characteristics of the ball 6 can also enable the support rod 5 to disperse the pressure more evenly in the process of lifting the tray 7. The traditional design of the support rod 5 may cause the tray 7 to deform or be damaged due to excessive local force, thereby affecting the drying effect of the seeds. After adopting the design of the ball 6, the support rod 5 contacts the tray 7 through the ball 6, and the pressure is evenly dispersed to the contact point between the ball 6 and the tray 7, thereby avoiding the problem of excessive local force on the tray 7 and ensuring the integrity and drying effect of the seeds.
[0022] Preferably, Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the support rod 5 is an L-shaped structure, and its corners are connected by a hinge mechanism, so that the support rod 5 can be adjusted in angle within a certain range relative to the electric slider 4. By adjusting the angle of the support rod 5, the height of the edge of the tray 7 being lifted can be accurately controlled, thereby adjusting the maximum fluctuation amplitude of the tray 7 during the drying process. This precise control method helps to achieve uniform heating of the seeds on the tray 7 and improve the drying efficiency. In addition, by adjusting the angle of the support rod 5, damage to the seeds caused by excessive fluctuations can be avoided. Excessive fluctuations may cause the seeds to collide with each other or hit the inner wall of the drying barrel 1, causing the seeds to break or crack. By accurately controlling the angle of the support rod 5, it is possible to ensure that the fluctuation amplitude of the tray 7 is moderate, which not only ensures that the seeds are fully heated, but also protects the integrity of the seeds. In addition, the adjustability of the angle of the support rod 5 makes the drying device more flexible and can adapt to different types of seeds and drying requirements. For different types of seeds, their optimal drying conditions and fluctuation amplitudes may be different. By adjusting the angle of the support rod 5, the drying device can be more flexibly adapted to these changes, improving its adaptability and versatility.
[0023] Preferably, the upper elastic horn 8 and the lower elastic horn 9 are both porous structures, and the holes are evenly distributed and of moderate size, which not only ensures the circulation of air and heat, but also prevents seeds from leaking out of the holes; the design of the porous structure enables the air and heat in the drying barrel 1 to circulate more freely, strengthens the contact between the seeds and the hot air, and improves the heat exchange efficiency, thereby further shortening the drying time and improving the drying efficiency; at the same time, the porous structure also helps to reduce the weight of the upper elastic horn 8 and the lower elastic horn 9, making them more flexible and responsive during the elastic pulling process, further improving the dynamic fluctuation effect of the material tray 7 during the drying process. Specifically, the porous structure design of the upper elastic horn 8 and the lower elastic horn 9 enables the air and heat in the drying barrel 1 to circulate more freely. During the heating process of the electric heating wire 2, the hot air can circulate in the drying barrel 1 through the holes, strengthens the contact between the seeds and the hot air, and improves the heat exchange efficiency. This design not only allows the seeds to be heated faster, but also ensures the uniform distribution of heat in the drying barrel 1, thereby further shortening the drying time and improving the drying efficiency. And the design of the porous structure not only takes into account the air and heat circulation, but also fully considers the safety of the seeds. The size of the holes is moderate, which not only ensures the circulation of air and heat, but also prevents the seeds from leaking out of the holes. This design ensures the integrity of the seeds during the drying process and avoids the loss caused by the leakage of seeds. In addition, the porous structure of the upper elastic horn 8 and the lower elastic horn 9 also helps to reduce their weight. In the process of the electric slider 4 driving the support rod 5 to lift the material tray 7, the lighter upper elastic horn 8 and the lower elastic horn 9 can respond to the lifting action of the support rod 5 more quickly, making the dynamic fluctuation effect of the material tray 7 more obvious. This design not only improves the flexibility of the drying device, but also further improves the drying effect of the seeds.
[0024] Preferably, the upper elastic horn 8 and the lower elastic horn 9 are made of high-temperature resistant, highly elastic silicone material, which has good thermal stability and elastic recovery, can maintain a stable shape in a high-temperature environment, and is not easy to deform or age. At the same time, its high elasticity enables the upper elastic horn 8 and the lower elastic horn 9 to quickly recover to their original shape under the dual effects of being lifted by the support rod 5 and heated by the heating wire 2, providing continuous elastic support for the material tray 7, ensuring the stability and uniform heating of the seeds during the drying process; in addition, the silicone material also has good anti-slip properties, which can increase the friction between the upper elastic horn 8 and the lower elastic horn 9 and the material tray 7 and the inner wall of the drying barrel 1, preventing sliding or displacement during the drying process, and further ensuring the stability and safety of the drying device.

After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to the present embodiment as needed. However, as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by the patent law.
