Detailed Implementation

[0032] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. 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.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] Please refer to the figure - Figure 5 This application provides a drying apparatus for pretreatment of mixed grain raw materials, comprising:

[0035] The drying drum 101 is installed at a slight angle on the top of the dryer frame 100. The slight angle makes it easier for the grains inside the drying drum 101 to move from one end to the other. The left end of the drying drum 101 has a feeding port to facilitate the feeding of the grains.

[0036] The uniform drying mechanism 200 installed on the drying drum 101 can evenly deliver the generated hot air to each screen plate, and adjust the drying temperature of each screen plate according to the drying time of the grains. This can fully dry the grains with hot air without causing a large temperature difference that would affect the uniformity of drying. It also extends the heating time of the gas, making the gas heating more uniform, improving the drying quality and efficiency of the grains. The uniform drying mechanism 200 includes multiple air supply pipes 206 embedded in the inner wall of the drying drum 101, an arc-shaped air guide pipe 203 that supplies hot air into the drying drum 101, and a heating component 201 that provides hot air to the right end of the drying drum 101.

[0037] A collection component 300 installed at the bottom of the drying drum 101 is used to collect the broken shells generated during the drying process. The collection component 300 can absorb and collect the broken shells generated during the drying process of miscellaneous grains, and will not be directly discharged into the air, thereby improving the air quality around the drying of miscellaneous grains. Moreover, the broken shells will not clog the filter holes during the collection process, ensuring the continuity of broken shell collection.

[0038] In this embodiment, preferably, the heating component 201 includes a hollow ring 2011 sleeved on the drying drum 101. Cover plates 2012 are provided on both sides of the hollow ring 2011, and the two can be connected by screws for easy assembly and disassembly. Multiple annular heating rods 2014 are provided inside the hollow ring 2011. Two sets of guide groups 2016 are provided on the surface of the annular cavity inside the hollow ring 2011. Each guide group 2016 consists of multiple inclined plates distributed along the circumference of the annular cavity. Dispersion holes are also provided on the surface of the inclined plates. The inclined plates in the two sets of guide groups 2016 are staggered, so that the gas entering the hollow ring 2011 does not flow in a regular annular pattern, but is guided and dispersed by the inclined plates and dispersion plates, resulting in an irregular flow. The gas flows within the hollow ring 2011, extending the residence time of the gas within the hollow ring 2011, ensuring that the gas is fully heated and preventing uneven heating that could affect the drying quality of the grains. Two sets of guide groups 2016 are located on the inner and outer sides of the annular heating rod 2014, respectively. A stabilizing plate 2015 is provided on the inner surface of the hollow ring 2011 to support and fix the annular heating rod 2014. The stabilizing plate 2015 supports the annular heating rod 2014, and its surface has multiple through holes for gas to pass through, without affecting the flow of gas within the hollow ring 2011. An energy supply box 2013 connected to the annular heating rod 2014 is provided on the outer circumference of the hollow ring 2011 to facilitate the supply of energy to the annular heating rod 2014.

[0039] In this embodiment, preferably, a connecting pipe 205 is provided on the side of the cover plate 2012 on the left side. The lower end of the connecting pipe 205 extends to the inner wall of the drying drum 101 and connects to the rightmost air supply pipe 206. The air supply pipe 206 is embedded in the inner wall of the drying drum 101, so that the air supply pipe 206 and the connecting pipe 205 will not affect the rotation of the drying drum 101. A connecting pipe 208 is provided between the air supply pipe 206 and the arc-shaped air guide pipe 203. The arc-shaped air guide pipe 203 is located on the outside of the sieve plate. Multiple inclined nozzles 207 are provided on the inner side of the arc-shaped air guide pipe 203. The inclined nozzles 207 can fully apply the drying hot air to the grains on each sieve plate.

[0040] In summary, during use, the air pump 202 delivers outside air into the hollow ring 2011. The air pump 202 is located at the bottom of the hollow ring 2011, while the connecting pipe 205 is at the top of the hollow ring 2011. This facilitates the full internal flow and heating of the gas drawn into the hollow ring 2011. The gas flowing in the annular cavity is guided and dispersed by the inclined plate. The guided gas passes through the annular heating rod 2014 and is heated, ensuring that the gas is fully heated and preventing uneven heating. The heated gas then enters the air delivery pipe 206 through the connecting pipe 205 and is sprayed out from the arc-shaped air guide pipe 203 and the inclined nozzle 207, acting on the sieve plate to dry the grains on the sieve plate. The drying time of the grains on each sieve plate in the drying drum 101 is different. The temperature control adjustment component 204 can be used to regulate the hot air temperature of the grains on each sieve plate, ensuring that the grains come into contact with the appropriate temperature of hot air at different positions in the drying drum 101, preventing large temperature differences and increasing the stability and safety of grain drying.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 This is the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0043] In this embodiment, preferably, a temperature control adjustment component 204 is embedded between two adjacent air supply pipes 206. The temperature control adjustment component 204 can be used to regulate the temperature of the hot air, keeping it at a suitable drying temperature for drying the grains at each sieve plate, preventing over-drying of the grains and affecting the drying quality. Moreover, the temperature control is convenient and quick. The temperature control adjustment component 204 includes a heat preservation cylinder 2041 installed between the two air supply pipes 206, and the air supply pipes 206 and the heat preservation cylinder 2041 are connected to each other to facilitate the passage of hot air. A spiral cooling plate 2043 is horizontally arranged inside the heat preservation cylinder 2041, and a spiral guide plate 2042 is arranged at the center of the heat preservation cylinder 2041 inside the spiral cooling plate 2043. A support plate 2044 is arranged on the inner wall of the heat preservation cylinder 2041 to support the spiral guide plate 2042.

[0044] In summary, when the hot air entering the air supply pipe 206 does not require temperature control, it will be sprayed from the corresponding arc-shaped air guide pipe 203 and inclined nozzle 207 onto the grains. When the drying temperature of the grains needs to be controlled, each temperature control component 204 can work independently. It is possible to select whether the temperature control component 204 plays a certain role in cooling the hot air at each node. When the temperature control component 204 is working, multiple temperature control components 204 are used to cool the hot air step by step. The end away from the hollow ring 2011 is the grain feed end. The temperature of the grains at the discharge pipe 102 is the highest in the grain drying temperature range. However, if the grains are directly dried at high temperature as soon as they enter, it may cause temperature differences and uneven drying. Therefore, the temperature is controlled by the temperature control component 204 to minimize the temperature difference between the cooled hot air and the grains that have just entered. This preheats the grains and reduces temperature differences and uneven drying. As the grains move toward the discharge pipe 102, the temperature gradually rises, improving the drying effect. The whole process improves the uniformity and thoroughness of grain drying.

[0045] In this embodiment, preferably, an air pump 202 is provided on the side of the rightmost cover plate 2012, and an air inlet pipe is provided between the air pump 202 and the hollow ring 2011 to facilitate the delivery of outside air into the hollow ring 2011.

[0046] Example 3

[0047] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 This is the third embodiment of the present invention.

[0048] In this embodiment, preferably, the collecting component 300 includes a horizontally embedded distribution pipe 304 at the bottom of the drying drum 101. The collecting component 300 does not affect the rotation of the drying drum 101. A suction pump can be connected to the distribution pipe 304 to generate suction pressure, sending the suctioned gas into the recovery box 302 through the recovery pipe 301. A recovery ring 305 located inside the drying drum 101 is provided on the upper surface of the distribution pipe 304. A suction nozzle is provided on the surface of the recovery ring 305 to facilitate the extraction of gas from inside the drying drum 101. A recovery box 302 is provided at the bottom left end of the drying drum 101. The recovery box 302 is located between the distribution pipe 304 and the recovery pipe 302. A recovery pipe 301 is provided, and a funnel-shaped cloth bag 306 is provided on the inner side of the right end of the recovery box 302. An exhaust pipe 303 is provided on the left end of the recovery box 302. A filter layer 308 is provided at the inner end of the exhaust pipe 303. The filter layer 308 is a cloth layer, which can both filter and facilitate gas discharge. A spiral retention plate 307 is provided on the inner surface of the exhaust pipe 303, so that the gas acts on the spiral retention plate 307. Part of the gas flows outward along the spiral retention plate 307, and part of the gas is retained by the spiral shape at the left end of the spiral retention plate 307. Part of the retained gas will impact the filter layer 308 from the left side, causing the filter layer 308 to bulge inward.

[0049] In summary, during operation, the suction pump draws the gas inside the drying drum 101 outwards into the recovery box 302. The drawn-out gas carries some of the shell fragments generated during drying. The fragments and gas pass through the funnel-shaped cloth bag 306 and are sent into the recovery box 302. The gas carrying the fragments acts on the filter layer 308, where the fragments remain. The gas passes through the filter layer 308 and is discharged outwards. A portion of the discharged gas remains on the spiral retainer plate 307, where the spiral gas impacts the outside. The filter layer 308 is subjected to wind impact on its inner and outer sides. As it is a cloth layer, the filter layer 308 is constantly agitated, which not only continuously filters the shell fragments carried by the gas, but also prevents the shell fragments from adhering to the filter layer 308 and blocking it. This ensures continuous filtration of the shell fragments in the gas. After the recycling is completed, the funnel-shaped cloth bag 306 hangs down naturally. The bag opening is folded to prevent the shell fragments from being discharged. Then, the bottom of the recycling box 302 is opened to process the shell fragments.

[0050] In this embodiment, preferably, a discharge pipe 102 is provided at the right end of the drying drum 101, the drying drum 101 forms an acute angle with the horizontal direction, and the right end of the drying drum 101 is lower than the left end, so that the dried grains can be discharged from the discharge pipe 102. The dryer frame 100 is composed of multiple trusses welded longitudinally and transversely, so there is space at the upper end of the dryer frame 100, which does not affect the rotation of the recycling box 302.

[0051] Example 4

[0052] This embodiment is obtained by combining Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 3.

[0053] During use, the uniform drying mechanism 200 draws in and heats the outside air, and the temperature is adjusted step by step by the temperature control adjustment component 204 to reduce the temperature difference between the hot air and the grains, thereby increasing the uniformity of grain drying. The collection component 300 recovers the hot air inside the drying drum 101 and collects the broken shells mixed in the recovered hot air. The discharged hot air can be connected to the waste heat recovery system for recovery, thereby improving resource utilization.

[0054] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical methods of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical methods of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical methods of the present invention.
