Newly harvested grains must be dried as soon as possible to ensure their good quality, but a large amount of harvest has brought difficulties to farmers.

[0003] At present, the rice drying process of the rice processing industry mostly adopts the traditional drying machine drying method using fuel oil or biomass as a heat source, which has a great impact on the atmospheric environment, and the rice produced is of poor quality and high cost. The traditional drying method using solar energy as a heat source generally involves manually spreading the grains on an open-air grain field in the morning and collecting them at night, but there are not many areas available for drying. During the busy farming season, farmers often fight over drying areas, and some even dry grains on the road, which not only occupies public areas and congests traffic, but also easily causes traffic accidents. In addition, the process of collecting grains is extremely labor-intensive and time-consuming, and there is no guarantee that the grains will be collected cleanly. If a sudden heavy rain occurs during the drying process, manual collection will not be able to recover all the grains, resulting in a large loss of grains in the drying process. These labor-intensive and high-risk links will eventually be converted into costs, which seriously restricts the high-quality development of the high-end silk seedling industry.

Therefore, the key to implementing a grain drying system provided by an embodiment of the present invention is as follows: first, the drying body 23 adopts a vertical W-shaped structure, and a W-shaped material channel is designed from top to bottom. On the one hand, the space of the drying rack 2 can be fully utilized to increase the drying area of ​​the material and improve the drying efficiency. On the other hand, the material can be automatically spread along the W-shaped material channel under its own gravity, and the purpose of automatic material discharge can be achieved by opening the rotary discharge valve when unloading, without manual spreading and collection, thereby reducing the labor intensity and labor cost of workers. In addition, the drying rack 2 is an overhead drying rack with good ventilation and small site occupation. It will not be affected by ground moisture due to contact with the ground, nor will it adhere to dust and debris on the ground. At the same time, it can also prevent problems such as bird kicking, chicken pecking, and mouse biting. Secondly, through the setting of the feeding device 3, the material output component 32 can be transferred above the feed port 24 of each drying rack 2, so that the material to be dried can be fed into the drying rack 2 in an orderly manner, and automatic feeding can be achieved. Thirdly, by setting the discharging device 4, the material loading component 42 can be transferred under the discharging port 26 of each drying rack 2, so that the materials after drying can be sent out of the drying rack 2 in an orderly manner, realizing automatic discharging.

[0026] Exemplarily, the drying body 23 includes a first plate 231 as the bottom plate of the W-shaped material channel, a second plate 232 as the top plate of the W-shaped material channel, and a W-shaped frame 233 for fixing the first plate 231 and the second plate 232.

[0033] Among them, when the temperature sensor detects that the ambient temperature of the drying rack 2 (i.e., the indoor ambient temperature) is lower than the preset ambient temperature, the central controller controls the heat pump device 5 to start, so that the indoor ambient temperature increases until the indoor ambient temperature stabilizes at the preset ambient temperature. When the humidity sensor detects that the ambient humidity of the drying rack 2 is higher than the preset ambient humidity, the central controller controls the heat pump device 5 and the ventilation device 6 to start, so that the indoor ambient humidity decreases until the indoor ambient humidity stabilizes at the preset ambient humidity. When the humidity sensor detects that the material humidity is lower than or equal to the preset material humidity, the central controller controls the rotary discharge valve and the discharging device 4 to start, and delivers the material that meets the quality standard, otherwise continue to dry. When the weight sensor detects that the material weight is higher than or equal to the preset weight, the central controller controls the feeding device 3 to stop feeding, otherwise continue to feed.
