Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sorghum processing technology, specifically to a sorghum drying equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Existing sorghum drying equipment has the following problems:

[0003] First, existing sorghum drying equipment requires hulling of sorghum seeds before drying. During hulling, the existing centrifugal hulling device needs to stop the equipment to collect the sorghum husks, which has low intelligence. At the same time, most existing drying equipment uses drum type, in which the heated moisture is not easy to be discharged, and it is not energy-saving and environmentally friendly, which increases production costs.

[0004] Secondly, existing sorghum drying equipment requires each step of the process—hulling, collecting the husks, drying, and air-drying—to be carried out sequentially, which easily wastes manpower and prolongs the processing time. Furthermore, the accumulation of sorghum during drying makes it difficult to remove internal moisture, resulting in low practicality. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a sorghum drying device that is highly practical and reliable, thus solving the problems of low practicality and low reliability.

[0006] To achieve the aforementioned goals of high practicality and high reliability, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a sorghum drying device, comprising an energy-saving mechanism, the energy-saving mechanism including a first shell, a semiconductor heating block, a second shell, a first hollow connecting pipe, a first piston plate, a second hollow connecting pipe, a piston rod, and a third connecting pipe. The first shell contains a semiconductor heating block, the second shell is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the semiconductor heating block, the first hollow connecting pipe is threadedly connected to the middle of the bottom end of the second shell, the first piston plate is rotatably connected to the top end of the first hollow connecting pipe, the second hollow connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the first piston plate, the piston rod is slidably connected to the inside of the second hollow connecting pipe, the third connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the second hollow connecting pipe, a one-way valve is movably connected to the inside of the second shell, a screening mechanism is provided on the outside of the energy-saving mechanism, and a collection mechanism is provided on the outside of the energy-saving mechanism.

[0007] Furthermore, the screening mechanism includes a connecting shaft, a rotating block, a feed inlet, a filter plate, and a connecting pipe. The rotating block is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting shaft, the feed inlet is provided on the outer side of the rotating block, the filter plate is provided on the lower side of the feed inlet, and the connecting pipe is rotatably connected to the outer side of the middle part of the connecting shaft. Therefore, by using negative pressure, the sorghum husks retained inside the filter plate and flowing downwards into the connecting pipe through gravity are collected into the area between the piston plate and the piston rod, thus collecting the sorghum husks.

[0008] Furthermore, a through hole is provided in the middle of the hollow connecting pipe one, and the piston plate one is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe three through it. Both the piston plate one and the piston rod are fixedly connected to the spring. Therefore, by pulling the piston rod downward by the spring, the air pressure on the upper side of the piston rod is relatively reduced, which further facilitates the sorghum seeds to be hulled and fall off. By moving the piston rod downward, the sorghum husks are squeezed out.

[0009] Furthermore, the first connecting shaft is connected to the motor drive, the first housing is fixedly connected to the feed inlet, and the second housing is fixedly connected to the fourth connecting pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, the collection mechanism includes a housing four, a piston plate two, and a collection shell. The piston plate two is slidably connected inside the housing four, and the collection shell is provided on the lower side of the piston plate two. Therefore, the lower end of the semiconductor heating block connected to the housing two on the upper side is the cold end, which condenses the moisture to form condensate. When the hollow connecting pipe one moves downward, the condensate and moisture are forced out from the one-way blocking plate and heated by the heating device.

[0011] Furthermore, the hollow connecting pipe one is fixedly connected to the piston plate two, and the bottom end of the hollow connecting pipe one is fixedly connected to the collecting shell.

[0012] Furthermore, a one-way blocking plate is movably connected to the side wall of the first housing, and a heating device is movably connected to the bottom end of the first housing.

[0013] Beneficial effects

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a sorghum drying device with the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This sorghum drying equipment uses negative pressure to collect the sorghum husks that remain inside the filter plate and flow downwards by gravity into the area between the piston plate and the piston rod. This collection of sorghum husks speeds up the processing, improves intelligence, and achieves a high degree of equipment integration, meeting the requirements of intelligent manufacturing and improving reliability.

[0016] 2. This sorghum drying equipment uses a semiconductor heating block connected to the upper shell as the cold end to condense moisture into condensate. When the hollow connecting pipe moves downward, it pushes the condensate and moisture out through the one-way blocking plate, facilitating the discharge of heated moisture. At the same time, it saves labor through threaded connections and the use of external combustion engine principles, achieving the purpose of energy saving and environmental protection, and reducing production costs.

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-4A sorghum drying device includes an energy-saving mechanism 1. The energy-saving mechanism 1 includes a housing 11, a semiconductor heating block 12, a housing 2 13, a hollow connecting pipe 14, a piston plate 15, a hollow connecting pipe 2 16, a piston rod 17, and a connecting pipe 3 18. The semiconductor heating block 12 is disposed inside the housing 11. The housing 2 13 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the semiconductor heating block 12. The hollow connecting pipe 14 is threadedly connected to the middle of the bottom end of the housing 2 13. The piston plate 15 is rotatably connected to the top end of the hollow connecting pipe 14. The hollow connecting pipe 2 16 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the piston plate 15. The piston rod 17 is slidably connected inside the hollow connecting pipe 2 16. The connecting pipe 3 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the hollow connecting pipe 2 16. 8. A one-way valve 19 is movably connected inside the housing 13. A screening mechanism 2 is provided on the outside of the energy-saving mechanism 1, and a collection mechanism 3 is provided on the outside of the energy-saving mechanism 1. The screening mechanism 2 includes a connecting shaft 21, a rotating block 22, a feed inlet 23, a filter plate 24, and a connecting pipe 25. The top of the connecting shaft 21 is fixedly connected to the rotating block 22. The feed inlet 23 is provided on the outside of the rotating block 22. The filter plate 24 is provided on the lower side of the feed inlet 23. The connecting pipe 25 is rotatably connected to the outside of the middle part of the connecting shaft 21. Therefore, by using negative pressure, the sorghum husks that are left inside the filter plate 24 and flow downwards into the connecting pipe 25 by gravity are collected into the area between the piston plate 15 and the piston rod 17 to collect the sorghum husks.

[0024] A through hole is provided in the middle of the hollow connecting pipe 14. The piston plate 15 and the connecting pipe 18 are fixedly connected through it. Both the piston plate 15 and the piston rod 17 are fixedly connected to the spring. Therefore, the piston rod 17 is pulled downward by the spring, which reduces the air pressure on the upper side of the piston rod 17, further facilitating the hulling of the sorghum seeds. The downward movement of the piston rod 17 squeezes out the sorghum husks. The connecting shaft 21 is connected to the motor drive. The housing 11 is fixedly connected to the feed port 23. The housing 21... 3 is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 25. The collecting mechanism 3 includes a housing 31, a piston plate 32, and a collecting shell 33. The piston plate 32 is slidably connected inside the housing 31. The collecting shell 33 is provided on the lower side of the piston plate 32. Therefore, the lower end of the semiconductor heating block 12 connected to the housing 13 on the upper side is the cold end, which condenses the moisture to form condensate. When the hollow connecting pipe 14 moves downward, the condensate and moisture are pressed out from the one-way block plate and heated by the heating device.

[0025] Hollow connecting pipe 14 is fixedly connected to piston plate 32. The bottom end of hollow connecting pipe 14 is fixedly connected to collection shell 33. A one-way blocking plate is movably connected to the side wall of shell 11. A heating device is movably connected to the bottom end of shell 11.

[0026] Working principle: During use, the sorghum grains are fed through the feed inlet 23. The motor drives the connecting shaft 21 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating block 22 fixed at the top to rotate. The sorghum grains and sorghum husks come into contact with the rotating block 22 and are centrifugally dehulled by the force. The sorghum grains pass through the holes of the filter plate 24, while the sorghum husks are left inside the filter plate 24 and flow downward into the connecting pipe 25, thereby performing dehulling and screening.

[0027] By opening the semiconductor heating block 12, the upper end of the semiconductor heating block 12 becomes the hot end for heating, and the lower end becomes the cold end for cooling. When the upper end of the semiconductor heating block 12 becomes the hot end, the air on the lower side of the housing 13 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the semiconductor heating block 12 is heated, thereby expanding and pushing the piston plate 15 to move upward. The upward movement of the piston plate 15 pushes the air on the upper side upward, increasing the air pressure. At the same time, the air enters the interior of the hollow connecting pipe 16 through the connecting pipe 18, further pushing the piston rod 17 to move upward. This causes the sorghum seeds that have passed through the pores of the filter plate 24 to fall onto the upper surface of the piston rod 17. As the piston rod 17 moves upward, the volume of the sorghum seeds accumulates, pushing open the one-way valve 19, and they fall to the bottom of the housing 11 for further drying.

[0028] At the same time, air enters the interior of the hollow connecting pipe 16 through the connecting pipe 3 18, further pushing the piston rod 17 to move upward, which increases the displacement between the piston plate 15 and the piston rod 17, increases the volume, decreases the pressure, and causes the negative pressure to collect the sorghum husks that are left inside the filter plate 24 and flow downward through gravity into the connecting pipe 4 25. The sorghum husks are collected in the area between the piston plate 15 and the piston rod 17.

[0029] The end of the semiconductor heating block 12 connected to the housing 13 on the lower side of the connecting pipe 25 is set as the cold end for cooling, so that the heat at the bottom of the housing 13 is dissipated, resulting in uneven heating of the piston plate 15, forming an external combustion engine. The piston plate 15 moves down and then moves down. When moving down, the piston plate 15 moves down and the piston rod 17 moves down through the spring, which reduces the air pressure on the upper side of the piston rod 17, making it easier for the sorghum seeds to be hulled and fall off. The sorghum husks are squeezed out by the downward movement of the piston rod 17.

[0030] The piston plate 15 moves up and down, driving the hollow connecting tube 14 to move up and down as well. Through the threaded connection, the hollow connecting tube 14 rotates during its up and down movement, causing the piston plate 32 at the bottom end to move inside the housing 31. When moving upward, the pressure decreases under the piston plate 32 due to the through hole of the hollow connecting tube 14, creating a negative pressure that draws in moisture near the collection shell 33. The moisture is then transferred into the hollow connecting tube 14 and enters the lower end of the piston plate 32 through the through hole. The lower end of the semiconductor heating block 12 connected to the housing 13 on the upper side is the cold end, which condenses the moisture to form condensate. When the hollow connecting tube 14 moves downward, the condensate and moisture are forced out from the one-way blockage plate and heated by the heating device.

[0031] In summary, this sorghum drying equipment uses negative pressure to collect the sorghum husks that remain inside the filter plate 24 and flow downwards by gravity into the connecting pipe 25. The sorghum husks are then collected in the area between the piston plate 15 and the piston rod 17, which speeds up the processing, improves intelligence, and achieves a high degree of equipment integration, meeting the requirements of intelligent manufacturing and improving reliability.

[0032] This sorghum drying equipment uses a semiconductor heating block 12 connected to the upper shell 13 as the cold end to condense moisture into condensate. When the hollow connecting pipe 14 moves downward, it pushes the condensate and moisture out through the one-way blockage plate, facilitating the discharge of heated moisture. At the same time, it saves labor through threaded connections and the use of external combustion engine principles, achieving the purpose of energy saving and environmental protection, and reducing production costs.
