Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sorghum processing, in particular to a sorghum slow-fall type hot air drying device. Background Art

[0002] Sorghum is an annual herb of the genus Sorghum in the Poaceae family, also known as millet, reed sorghum, and black grass. Sorghum stalks are thick and upright. The leaves are linear to linear-lanceolate, dark green on the surface, light green or powdery on the back. The panicle is loose, the main axis is exposed, and the peduncle is erect or slightly curved. The caryopsis is flat and convex on both sides, light pink to reddish brown, 2.5-3 mm wide when ripe, and the top is slightly exposed. The flowering and fruiting period is from June to September. Sorghum is rich in nutrients and is one of China's traditional staple foods. It can be eaten, fed, and used for brewing in daily life. It is a crop with high comprehensive utilization value. At the same time, sorghum has the characteristics of high yield and strong stress resistance, and has high research value on drought resistance.

[0020] In the present invention, by staggeredly arranging the first guide plate 3 and the second guide plate 4, the sorghum gradually and slowly moves downward along the first guide plate 3 and the second guide plate 4 under the action of gravity, thereby increasing the stroke of the sorghum and effectively performing hot air drying on the sorghum. At the same time, the sorghum is prevented from being damaged and broken due to violent collisions with each other due to stirring and the like, thereby improving the quality of the product sorghum. By arranging a filter net 5 to filter impurities in the sorghum, and discharging the impurities along the waste discharge mechanism 8, the impurities are prevented from mixing with the finished sorghum product and affecting the quality.

[0021] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the waste discharge mechanism 8 includes a waste guide plate 81 that cooperates with the first material guide plate 3, the second material guide plate 4 and the filter screen 5, and waste discharge ports 82 that cooperate with the waste guide plate 81 are provided on both sides of the cabinet body 1.

The valves are provided to prevent hot air from being discharged along the waste discharge pipe 83 and the discharge port 6, causing the sorghum to be blown downward by the hot air at a reduced speed, thereby preventing the sorghum from being damaged by violent collisions with each other.

[0023] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the first guide plate 3 and the second guide plate 4 are both rotatably connected to the cabinet body 1, and a cover plate matched with the first guide plate 3 and the second guide plate 4 is fixedly provided in the cabinet body 1, and the cover plate covers the first guide plate 3 and the second guide plate 4 to prevent the sorghum from entering the rotating part of the first guide plate 3 and the second guide plate 4, and an adjusting mechanism 9 for controlling the angle of the first guide plate 3 and the second guide plate 4 is provided on the cabinet body 1, and the angle of the first guide plate 3 and the second guide plate 4 can be adjusted according to the drying condition of the sorghum. When the degree of dryness of the sorghum is too low, the first guide plate 3 and the second guide plate 4 are adjusted to reduce the descending speed of the sorghum, thereby adjusting the falling time of the sorghum, changing the drying time of the sorghum, and intervening in the degree of dryness of the sorghum.

[0024] In this embodiment, a partition 12 that cooperates with the hot air outlet 11 is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the cabinet 1, and an air outlet 13 that cooperates with the first material guide plate 3 and the second material guide plate 4 is opened on the partition 12.
