In order to ensure that the seeds can continue to be sown, grow, and reproduce in the spring of next year or longer, they need to be dried to ensure seed quality, extend the shelf life of seeds, and increase seed germination rate. Many traditional dryers use a simple hot air drying method, and the seeds are heated unevenly during the drying process. For example, in some batch dryers, seeds close to the heat source may be over-dried, causing damage to the internal structure of the seeds and affecting the germination rate; while seeds far away from the heat source are not dried enough and have too high a moisture content, which makes them prone to mold and deterioration during storage.

The through pipe 11 is fixedly connected, and a plurality of air outlet holes 21 are evenly spaced at the bottom of the side wall of the air outlet pipe 16. The fixing assembly includes a mounting plate 19 and a fixing bolt 20. The mounting plate 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the hot air blower 3. The fixing bolt 20 is threadedly mounted on the side wall of the mounting plate 19 and is used to fix the mounting plate 19 on the hot air blower 3. The stirring mechanism is arranged inside the drying box 1 and is used to stir and break up the seeds on the conveyor belt 9. The stirring mechanism includes a driving motor 6, two connecting shafts 15 and two connecting plates 22. The driving motor 6 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the drying box 1 through a fixing frame 5. The two connecting shafts 15 symmetrically penetrate and rotate Installed on the top wall of the drying box 1, the bottom ends of the two connecting shafts 15 are fixedly connected to the connecting disk 22 located above the conveyor belt 9, and a plurality of stirring rods 23 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the connecting disk 22.

The side walls of the top ends of the two connecting shafts 15 are sleeved with synchronous wheels 13, and the two synchronous wheels 13 are connected by a synchronous belt 14. One side of the upper surface of the drying box 1 is fixedly connected with a moisture outlet 2.

[0025] The implementation principle of a new type of seed dryer in an embodiment of the present invention is as follows: the electrical components appearing in the present invention are all externally connected to a power supply and a control switch when in use. When in use, the mounting plate 19 is fixed to the drying box 1 by fixing bolts 20 to ensure that the hot air blower 3 is stable, and the seeds to be dried are placed at the starting end of the conveyor belt 9. The motor 10 is started to drive the active roller 25 to rotate, thereby making the conveyor belt 9 run, and the seeds begin to be transported to the inside of the drying box 1 along the conveyor belt 9. The retaining skirt 8 symmetrically arranged on the side wall of the conveyor belt 9 can prevent the seeds from falling during transportation. At the same time, the hot air blower 3 is started, and the hot air generated by the hot air blower 3 enters the connecting pipe 11 through the connecting pipe 4, and is then evenly sent into the drying box 1 through multiple air outlet pipes 16. The air outlet pipes 16 are evenly installed on the top side of the drying box 1, and the air outlet holes 21 are evenly distributed on the bottom of the side wall. The hot air is blown out from the air outlet holes 21 to dry the seeds on the conveyor belt 9. During the seed transportation and drying process, the stirring mechanism works synchronously. After the drive motor 6 is started, its output end drives the connecting shaft 15 connected to it to rotate, and through the synchronous wheel 13 and the synchronous belt 14, the other connecting shaft 15 will also rotate synchronously. The connecting shaft 15 can drive the connecting disk 22 to rotate, and the multiple stirring rods 23 fixed on the side wall of the connecting disk 22 rotate with the connecting disk 22, thereby stirring and breaking up the seeds on the conveyor belt 9. In this way, the seeds can be continuously rolled during the drying process, avoiding seed accumulation, making the seeds heated more evenly, and effectively improving the drying effect. The temperature sensor 17 and humidity sensor 18 arranged at the bottom side of the drying box 1 monitor the temperature and humidity in the box in real time, and transmit the data to the controller 12. The controller 12 intelligently adjusts the working state of the hot air blower 3 according to the preset temperature and humidity range. If the temperature is too high or the humidity is too low, the controller 12 will control the hot air blower 3 to reduce the power or suspend the work; if the temperature is too low or the humidity is too high, the controller 12 will control the hot air blower 3 to increase the power or extend the working time, so as to ensure that the drying box 1 always maintains a suitable temperature and humidity environment, and avoid the seeds from being affected by overheating or overhumidification. During the drying process, the generated moisture will be discharged through the moisture outlet 2, keeping the air in the box dry, which is conducive to improving the drying efficiency. With the continuous operation of the conveyor belt 9, the seeds are fully stirred and dried, and then output from the end of the conveyor belt 9 to complete the entire drying process.During this process, the seeds can be continuously tumbled during the drying process through the stirring mechanism to avoid accumulation, and can be evenly dried by hot air. The hot air generated by the hot air blower 3 is evenly blown out through the connecting pipe 11, the air outlet pipe 16 and the air outlet 21. With the stirring, each seed can be fully exposed to the hot air, which effectively improves the uniformity of drying. The conveyor belt 9 is driven by the motor 10 to continuously operate to achieve continuous transportation of seeds, avoiding the time waste of traditional intermittent drying. The ventilation holes 24 allow the hot air to pass through the conveyor belt 9 to dry the seeds from both the upper and lower directions, further improving the drying efficiency. The temperature and humidity in the drying box 1 are monitored in real time through the temperature sensor 17 and the humidity sensor 18, and the data is transmitted to the controller 12 to ensure that the temperature and humidity environment in the drying box 1 is always maintained at a suitable level, providing good conditions for seed drying.
