Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of grain dryers, and more specifically to a multi-crop grain drying device and control method. Background Technology

[0002] In the humid weather of the rainy season, grain crops become damp and moldy, damaging them for both planting and consumption. To better prevent or improve crop use, equipment for grain drying is constantly emerging. However, these are designed for large grain storage facilities and are not suitable for individual users or small-scale grain applications. Furthermore, in recent years, drying devices for crop drying have become bulky and inconvenient to transport. Smaller structures suffer from insufficient wind direction control, limited temperature control, and the inability to maintain optimal dehumidification temperatures, among other issues. To meet the needs of small-batch applications, a multi-crop grain drying device and control method are proposed. Summary of the Invention

The device dries grains by setting up a drum, heating plate, and fan. During the drying process, the fan, along with fan blades arranged inside and outside the drum, changes the airflow direction, thereby ensuring that the hot air generated by the fan and heating plate can evenly dry the grains. Simultaneously, it incorporates moisture measuring devices, humidity and temperature detection devices to achieve remote sensing, energy saving, and humidity and temperature control.

In this specification, illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0051] A multi-crop grain drying device includes a drum 41, a heating plate, and a fan 6. The device is equipped with a drum chamber 21, a warm air chamber 24, and a fan chamber 27. The warm air chamber 24 is connected to the fan chamber 27 and the drum chamber 21. A heating plate is fixedly installed in the warm air chamber 24. A fan 6 is fixedly installed in the fan chamber 27. A filter plate 33 is installed between the warm air chamber 24 and the drum chamber 21. The filter plate 33 has evenly distributed perforations, which allow for ventilation while preventing crop residue from flowing into the warm air chamber 24 and affecting the heating plate 7. Damage; A linearly movable partition 34 is provided between the warm air chamber 24 and the fan chamber 27; a drum 41 is rotatably connected to the drum chamber 21; several fan blades 35 are rotatably connected between the drum 41 and the filter plate 33 in the drum chamber 21; after the partition 34 is removed, the fan blows air onto the heating plate, thereby generating warm air; the warm air will pass through the filter holes of the filter plate 33, and the warm air will drive the fan blades 35 to rotate. The rotation of the fan blades 35 will change the direction of the warm air, so that the warm air can also flow from the circumferential direction of the drum 41, thereby improving the drying effect;

[0053] In use, place the crops inside the drum 41, then remove the partition 34 and start the fan 6 and heating plate 7. The fan 6 generates airflow, which passes through the heating plate 7 to produce warm air. The warm air flows upward through the through-hole 1 of the filter plate 33, and then drives the fan blade 35 to rotate, thereby changing the direction of the warm air and making warm air flow around the drum 41. The warm air can flow into the inside of the drum 41 through the through-hole 2. At the same time, the warm air can also drive the fan blade 43 to rotate, changing the direction of the warm air flow in the drum 41, and the warm air will circulate inside the drum 41. This can drive the drum 41 to rotate, and the drum 41 drives the crops to tumble through the stirring plate 45, stirring the bottom layer of crops to the top layer, so that the crops in the lower layer can sink and be dried by the warm air, which can reduce the uneven airflow caused by the grain concentrating at the bottom due to gravity. In addition, when the humidity and temperature detection device 36 detects that the internal humidity is high, the second fan 31 can be started to remove the moisture from the grain crop in the drum 41 into the drum chamber 21.

[0054] In this application, the moisture measuring device 44 refers to an instrument for measuring the water content of a substance, such as a moisture meter. Depending on the principle, moisture meters include infrared moisture meters, online solid moisture meters, etc. In this application, the humidity and temperature detection device 36 refers to a physical property analysis instrument used to measure the humidity and temperature in the surrounding environment. Humidity detection instruments include hygrometers and humidity sensors; temperature detection instruments include thermometers and temperature sensors; and there are also integrated instruments, such as thermo-hygrometers.

[0055] In some embodiments, the support shaft 46 has an inner cavity; the rotating frame 47 has a support rod 42 fixedly installed in the inner cavity; the wire of the moisture measuring device 44 extends into the rotating frame 47, the wire is wound around the support rod 42 and passes through the inner cavity; the support rod 42 can prevent the wire from twisting and breaking during the rotation of the roller 41.

[0056] In some embodiments, the device provides a filter slot 23 between the heating chamber 24 and the drum chamber 21; the filter slot 23 is slidably connected to a filter plate 33; the device provides a partition slot 26 between the heating chamber 24 and the fan chamber 27; the partition slot 26 is slidably connected to a partition plate 34.

[0058] In some embodiments, the device is fixedly equipped with a feed plate 1 and a discharge plate 2; both the feed plate 1 and the discharge plate 2 are connected to the feed pipe; the feed plate 1 is inclined downward from the feed pipe to the roller 41; the discharge plate 2 is inclined upward from the feed pipe to the roller 41; the feed plate 1 is located at the upper end of the discharge plate 2.

[0059] In some embodiments, a drive motor 3 is also fixedly mounted on the outside of the device; the shaft of the drive motor 3 is connected to the support shaft 46 via a belt drive mechanism; the belt drive mechanism in this application is a mechanical transmission structure that uses a flexible belt tensioned on a pulley to transmit motion or power. Depending on the transmission principle, there are friction belt drives that rely on the friction between the belt and the pulley, and synchronous belt drives that rely on the meshing of teeth on the belt and the pulley. In this application, by installing pulleys on the shaft of the drive motor 3 and the support shaft 46, and connecting the pulleys with a belt, the drive motor 3 can drive the support shaft 46 and the roller 41 to rotate.

[0060] In some embodiments, the device is further provided with a switch controller 4 and a display 5; the switch controller 4, fan 1 6, fan 2 31, heating plate 7, drive motor 3 and display 5 are electrically connected; the switch controller 4 realizes the control of each device, and the display 5 is a touch screen display 5, which makes the operation more user-friendly, convenient and intuitive.

[0061] The control method for the above-mentioned multi-crop grain drying device includes the following steps:

[0062] Based on the temperature detection value and the updated setting value of the humidity and temperature detection device 36, calculate the error between the current temperature and the current setting value and the error change rate; sum up the temperature error of the two measurements by the humidity and temperature detection device 36 and take half of it into the deviation e;

[0063] A fuzzy rule table is established by fuzzifying the deviation and the rate of change of deviation. The fuzzy subset corresponding to the adjustment amount is determined based on the fuzzification results of the deviation and the rate of change of deviation and the fuzzy rule table.

[0064] The centroid method is used to defuzzify the fuzzy subset to obtain the adjustment values ​​ΔKp, ΔKi, and ΔKd. The control parameters are then calculated based on the adjustment values, and the output parameters are calculated using the control parameters.

[0065] The centroid method formula satisfies:

[0066]

[0074] The temperature is set to change periodically within a given range, and then reverses after reaching the boundary of the periodic range. The range of change is ±α, the time interval of change is set to β, and the amount of change each time is γ.

[0075] The multi-crop grain drying apparatus and control method provided in this application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0076] A multi-crop grain drying device includes a drum 41, a heating plate, and a fan 6. The device's interior comprises a drum chamber 21, a warm air chamber 24, and a fan chamber 27. The warm air chamber 24 is connected to both the fan chamber 27 and the drum chamber 21. A filter slot 23 is provided between the warm air chamber 24 and the drum chamber 21. A filter plate 33 is slidably connected to the filter slot 23, and the filter plate 33 has evenly distributed through holes. A partition slot 26 is provided between the warm air chamber 24 and the fan chamber 27. A partition plate 34 is slidably connected to the partition slot 26. The heating plate is fixedly installed in the warm air chamber 24. The fan 6 is fixedly installed in the fan chamber 27.

[0077] A drum chamber 21 is rotatably connected to a drum 41; a plurality of fan blades 35 are rotatably connected between the drum 41 and the filter plate 33; a support shaft 46 is fixedly installed inside the drum 41; a plurality of fan blades 43 are rotatably connected to the support shaft 46; an inner cavity is provided inside the support shaft 46; a support rod 42 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the rotating frame 47; the wire of the moisture measuring device 44 extends into the rotating frame 47, the wire is wound around the support rod 42 and passes out of the inner cavity;

[0078] A fan 31 is installed at the upper end of the drum 41 in the drum chamber 21; several stirring plates 45 are fixedly installed circumferentially on the inner wall of the drum 41; through holes 2 are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the drum 41 and the stirring plates 45; a support shaft 46 is rotatably connected to a rotating frame 47; a moisture meter is fixedly installed on the rotating frame 47; a humidity and temperature detector is fixedly installed in the drum chamber 21, one near the lower end of the drum 41 and the other near the top of the drum 41.

[0079] The device is also equipped with an inlet and outlet pipe connected to the roller 41; the inlet and outlet pipe is equipped with an inlet and outlet trough 22; the inlet and outlet trough 22 is slidably connected to a baffle 32; the device is fixedly equipped with an inlet plate 1 and an outlet plate 2; both the inlet plate 1 and the outlet plate 2 are connected to the inlet and outlet pipe; the inlet plate 1 is inclined downward from the inlet and outlet pipe to the roller 41; the outlet plate 2 is inclined upward from the inlet and outlet pipe to the roller 41; the inlet plate 1 is located at the upper end of the outlet plate 2;

[0080] A drive motor 3 is also fixedly installed on the outside of the device; both the shaft of the drive motor 3 and the support shaft 46 are fixedly equipped with pulleys; the pulleys are connected by a belt.

[0081] The device also includes a control board space 25; the control board space 25 is equipped with a switch controller 4; the device is also fixedly equipped with a display 5, which is a touch screen display 5; the switch controller 4, fan 1 6, fan 2 31, heating plate 7, drive motor 3 and display 5 are electrically connected.

[0082] In use, turn on the switch controller 4 and the display 5, and select the grain crop conditions through the display 5; open the warm air chamber 24, raise the heating plate to the specified temperature, turn on the fan 6, and draw room temperature air from the partition 34 in the partition slot 26 into the heating plate 7 and into the warm air chamber 24, and then form a warm air flow to the filter plate 33; blow it through the through hole 1 to the fan blade 35, drive the fan blade 35 to rotate, and the fan blade 35 changes the air direction, so that the warm air is distributed to both ends of the drum 41;

[0083] Then, the crops are poured into the feed plate 1, and the baffle 32 is removed from the feed trough 22. The crops enter the drum 41, and the moisture meter is contained within the crops. When the temperature and humidity detector at the bottom detects that the warm air temperature has reached the required level, the drive motor 3 is started, which drives the drum 41 to rotate through the pulley. The crops are turned over from the bottom by the stirring plate 45 of the drum 41. With the help of the through holes 2 of the drum 41 and the stirring plate 45, the warm air flows between the crops and performs heat conversion. At the same time, some of the warm air flows to the fan blade 2 43. The rotation of the fan blade 2 43 changes the direction of the warm air, so that the warm air blows towards the crops remaining in the stirring plate 45, further making the warm air come into close contact with the crops and improving drying.

[0084] The moisture generated during drying is monitored by a temperature and humidity sensor at the top to determine if humidity saturation has been reached. This allows the fan 31 above the drum chamber 21 to either remove the moisture or retain heat. The degree of grain drying is then determined by a moisture meter. To ensure the moisture meter remains at the bottom, gravity and the rotation relationship between the rotating frame 47 and the support shaft 46 are used. To prevent the wiring harness from coiling around the support column of the drum 41, the support rod 42 is separated from the support shaft 46 of the drum 41. The display 5 is then used to observe whether the required conditions are met, thus determining whether the crop should be discharged.

[0085] In terms of control, algorithm logic, and touchscreen interface design, such as Figure 8 As shown, this temperature control algorithm applies fuzzy control PID to the temperature control of the dryer and improves it by taking into account the hysteresis caused by the structure.

[0086] Step 1: Calculate the deviation between the current temperature and the current set value and the rate of change of deviation based on the temperature detection value and the updated set value of the temperature and humidity detector. Add half of the two temperature measurements from the bottom temperature detector to the deviation e to offset the hysteresis caused by the structure.

[0087] Step 2: Fuzzify the input value deviation e and the rate of change of deviation ec. Establish fuzzy subsets for both deviation e and the rate of change of deviation ec as {NB, NM, NS, ZO, PS, PM, PB}. Introduce the universe of discourse corresponding to the fuzzy subsets of e and ec, as well as the control parameters Kp, Ki, and Kd adjustment values ​​ΔKp, ΔKi, and ΔKd of the controller, defined as {-6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, with their ranges denoted as Vmax and Vmin. Quantize the deviation e and the rate of change of deviation ec using a quantization function. Finally, introduce a triangular membership function (see...). Figure 14 Determine the membership degree.

[0088] Quantization function:

[0089] Step 3: Establish a fuzzy rule table (see...) Figure 15 The values ​​in the table are the fuzzy values ​​of ΔKp, ΔKi, and ΔKd. Based on the fuzzification results of deviation e and deviation change rate ec and the fuzzy rule table, the fuzzy subsets corresponding to ΔKp, ΔKi, and ΔKd are inferred respectively, where ΔKp, ΔKi, and ΔKd are the control parameters Kp, Ki, and Kd adjustment amounts of the controller.

[0090] Step 4: Use the centroid method to perform defuzzification to obtain ΔKp, ΔKi, and ΔKd. Calculate the controller parameters Kp, Ki, and Kd using K(n) = K(n-1) + ΔK*ρ, where ΔK is the V calculated above. OK(n-1) represents the control parameters of the upper-wheel controller, and ρ is a setpoint coefficient used to adjust the changes in ΔKp, ΔKi, and ΔKd. The output parameter u is then obtained from the control parameters Kp, Ki, and Kd of the three controllers using the formula:

[0091] u=Kp*e+Ki*∫edt+Kd*ec

[0092] Center of gravity method formula: M represents the membership degree, F represents the elements in the universe of discourse, and V... O The precise values ​​of ΔKp, ΔKi, and ΔKd after defuzzification of the output quantities of the fuzzy controller.

[0093] The output parameter u of the PID controller is obtained, that is, the control action generated by the deviation is used to adjust the duty cycle and adjust the output power of the heating plate 7. If the current temperature difference exceeds the current given error limit, the fan 6 and the heating plate 7 are turned off at the same time, and the fan 31 is turned on for rapid cooling.

[0094] A dynamic temperature-controlled drying method is employed, in which the temperature is set to vary periodically within a given range, with a variation range of ±α, a variation time interval of β, and a variation amount of γ each time. After reaching the boundary of the periodic range, the temperature reverses, thereby improving drying efficiency while reducing crop breakage.

[0095] like Figure 9 As shown, the touch screen control allows selection of two crops, corn and wheat, and further selection based on crop humidity status. After clicking the start button, the device will start running and enter the device status display interface. It also has an emergency stop button, which shuts down the operation of the heating plate 7, fan 2 31 and roller 41 when pressed, allowing for a quick response in case of unexpected emergencies.

[0096] 1) If corn is selected, set the initial temperature t1 inside the drum 41, and control the error within ±Δ1;

[0097] 2) If wheat is selected, the error of the initial set temperature t2 inside the drum 41 should be controlled within ±Δ2;

[0098] 3) In very humid conditions, select to run at the set temperature t+Δt for δ minutes, and then switch to normal set temperature operation;

[0099] 4) In relatively humid conditions, set the temperature to the set temperature t+Δt and run for ε minutes. Then switch to normal set temperature operation.

[0100] 5) It operates normally under normal humid conditions.

[0101] like Figure 10As shown in the system MCU block diagram, the air intake speed V of the drum chamber 21 is set, and the rotation speed R of the drum 417.1 is set. After the device is turned on by selecting the mode via the touch screen, the detection data of various temperature and humidity sensors and moisture detectors are transmitted to the MCU. After algorithm processing, the heating plate 7 and fan 6 are adjusted to operate. The data is transmitted to the cloud platform server via the NB-IoT wireless communication module, and then sent to the web page and mobile terminal for display through the B / S and C / S architecture. When the detected humidity value reaches η, fan 6 is turned on to start dehumidification. When the detected moisture value reaches a suitable value, the drying process is completed. The heating plate is turned off, and fan 31 is turned on for final dehumidification and cooling. Then, the drum 41 is reversed to pour out the grain, completing the work.
