DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more apparent and comprehensible, the specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, a large number of specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the scope of the present application, so the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0041] As shown in Figure 1 , a grain processing automatic drying device includes a base 1, a roller 2 is rotatably arranged on the base 1, a shell 3 is installed on the roller 2, a plurality of electric heating pipes (not shown in the figure) are arranged on the inner arc surface of the shell 3 and surround the roller 2, a material control assembly 4 is arranged on the left side of the roller 2, and the roller 2 is driven to rotate by an external motor (not shown in the figure) through an existing transmission mode such as a gear drive mode.

[0042] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , and Figure 3 , a hollow pipe 5 extending along the axis from left to right is arranged in the roller 2, an accumulation zone 60, a middle drying zone 61 and a material control zone 62 are sequentially arranged in the roller 2 from right to left, adjusting units 7 are arranged in the accumulation zone 60 and the material control zone 62, the adjusting units 7 include a plurality of material lifting plates I 70 which are distributed in the circumferential direction and have adjustable inclination angles; the hollow pipe 5 is driven to move left and right by an external hydraulic cylinder (not shown in the figure), and the right end of the hollow pipe 5 is connected to an external existing hot air machine (not shown in the figure).

[0043] As shown in Figure 3 , the adjusting units 7 include a plurality of material lifting plates II 8 which are distributed in the circumferential direction and have adjustable inclination angles, the material lifting plates II 8 are arranged on the left side of the roller 2, the material lifting plates II 8 are driven to rotate by an external motor (not shown in the figure) through an existing transmission mode such as a gear drive mode, and the material lifting plates II 8 are arranged in the material control zone 62.As shown, a plurality of groups of material lifting assemblies are fixedly arranged in the middle drying area 61 from left to right at equal intervals, and the material lifting assemblies include a plurality of material lifting plates two 8 distributed in a circumferential direction and fixed to the roller 2, and tangents at the connection positions of the material lifting plates two 8 and the roller 2 are perpendicular to each other.

[0044] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The roller 2 is provided with a hot air unit 9 for auxiliary drying, and the hot air unit 9 includes a hot air cylinder 90 located on the right side of the roller 2 and a plurality of air outlet sleeves 91 located inside the roller 2 and distributed at equal intervals left and right.

[0045] As shown in Figure 3 The middle drying area 61 is provided with two auxiliary heating rings 92 distributed left and right, and the hot air in the hollow pipe 5 enters the auxiliary heating ring 92 from right to left and then flows back to the air outlet sleeve 91, and the auxiliary heating ring 92 uses the heat transferred by the electric heating pipe to perform secondary heating on the hot air.

[0046] In operation, first, the roller 2 is preheated by the heat generated after the electric heating pipe is powered on, and then the grain to be dried is manually fed into the roller 2 through the left opening of the roller 2 by means of the material control assembly 4, and at the same time, the external motor is operated to make the roller 2 rotate forward, and through the inclined features of the material lifting plate one 70 and the material lifting plate two 8, the grain moves from left to right and finally accumulates in the accumulation area 60, and then the heating temperature of the electric heating pipe is increased to the set temperature, and at the same time, the hot air is blown into the hollow pipe 5 by the existing hot air machine on the right side, and the external motor is operated to make the roller 2 slowly reverse, and the grain slowly moves from right to left.

[0047] In the above slow moving process of grain, the grain in the middle drying area 61 is lifted by the second lifting plate 8 to form a curtain, which is dried by the hot air blown in through the hot air cylinder 90 and the air outlet sleeve 91 and the heat transferred by the roller 2 itself. It needs to be pointed out that in the process of grain entering the roller 2 from left to right, the adjusting unit 7 adjusts the first lifting plate 70 so that the tangent angle at the connection between the first lifting plate 70 and the roller 2 is at a maximum, facilitating the rapid transportation of grain from left to right and improving the feeding efficiency. Secondly, after drying, the above-mentioned method is used for rapid unloading. When drying the grain, the tangent angle at the connection between the first lifting plate 70 and the roller 2 is at a minimum, reducing the lifting effect of the first lifting plate 70 on the grain and reducing the curtain formed by the lifting action in the accumulation area 60 and the control area 62. The temperature in the accumulation area 60 is the highest due to the large amount of hot air flowing out through the hot air cylinder 90 and the sealing at the right end. The above-mentioned method avoids the problem of overheating caused by the dispersion of grain in the accumulation area 60. In the control area 62, the problem of grain splashing caused by excessive lifting action is avoided. The tangent at the connection between the second lifting plate 8 and the roller 2 is perpendicular to each other, and the curtain formed by the lifting of the second lifting plate 8 is uniform, and the grain is uniformly dispersed, so the grain is uniformly dried in the middle drying area 61. At the same time, the auxiliary heating ring 92 is set to maintain the temperature of the hot air in the middle drying area 61 while auxiliary drying in the middle drying area 61, ensuring the drying effect of the middle drying area 61. After completing the drying operation, the grain is quickly moved from right to left by the external motor, and falls out of the opening below the control assembly 4 and is collected.

[0048] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The adjusting unit 7 also includes a rotating sleeve 71, which is rotatably sleeved on the hollow pipe 5. The circumferential surface of the rotating sleeve 71 is hingedly connected with a connecting frame 710 corresponding to the adjacent first lifting plate 70. The connecting frame 710 is hingedly connected with the corresponding first lifting plate 70, and the first lifting plate 70 is hingedly connected with the inner wall of the roller 2.

[0049] The forward and backward movement of the hollow pipe 5 drives the rotating sleeve 71 to move synchronously, changing the angle between the tangent at the connection between the first lifting plate 70 and the roller 2, adapting to the three operation states of rapid feeding, slow drying and rapid unloading.

[0050] In the initial state, the tangent line at the connection between the first lifting plate 70 and the inner wall of the roller 2 is perpendicular to each other, at this time, the included angle between them is the largest, the first lifting plate 70 and the second lifting plate 8 have the same maximum lifting effect, so the feeding and discharging operation of the grain is carried out in this state, and when the slow drying operation is carried out, the outer hydraulic cylinder works to make the hollow tube 5 move left, the hollow tube 5 drives the rotating sleeve 71 and the connecting frame 710 to move left synchronously, the connecting frame 710 pulls the corresponding first lifting plate 70 to move synchronously, so that the included angle between the tangent line at the connection between the first lifting plate 70 and the inner wall of the roller 2 is reduced, in this state, the grain curtain formed when the roller 2 drives the first lifting plate 70 to lift the grain is smaller than the grain curtain formed when the second lifting plate 8 lifts the grain, therefore, in the area close to the hot air cylinder 90 (the part with the highest temperature in the whole roller 2), the grain lifting curtain is short, and the whole is still in the accumulation state, thereby avoiding the problem of grain overheating and cracking or bursting in the high temperature area.

[0051] As shown in Figure 4 , a plurality of material leakage holes 80 are provided through the second lifting plate 8, and the material leakage holes 80 are uniformly distributed on the surface of the second lifting plate 8, part of the grain leaks out through the material leakage holes 80 when the second lifting plate 8 lifts the grain, and the lifting action forms a more uniform grain curtain.

[0052] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the hot air unit 9 further comprises a flow dividing cylinder 93, the right end surface of the roller 2 is fixedly provided with the flow dividing cylinder 93 which is sleeved on the hollow tube 5, the hollow tube 5 is provided with a communication groove one 94 which communicates with the inner cavity of the flow dividing cylinder 93, and all the hot air cylinders 90 are fixedly arranged on the flow dividing cylinder 93 and penetrate into the inside of the roller 2.

[0053] When working, the hot air entering through the hollow tube 5 is pumped into the flow dividing cylinder 93 through the communication groove one 94, and then is pumped into the roller 2 by all the hot air cylinders 90, the hot air from right to left as the internal heat source for drying the grain inside, cooperates with the external heat source of the outer wall of the roller 2, and the grain is dried by internal and external double drying, thereby improving the drying efficiency.

[0054] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 5 , all the air outlet sleeves 91 are sleeved on the hollow tube 5 and correspond to the lifting assembly one, the hollow tube 5 is provided with a communication groove two 95 which communicates with the inner cavity of the air outlet sleeve 91, and the circumferential surface of the air outlet sleeve 91 is provided with a plurality of circumferentially distributed air outlets 950.

[0055] The air outlet sleeve 91 and the inner wall of the roller 2 are fixedly provided with a hollow frame one 951, and the left and right sides of the hollow frame one 951 are fixedly provided with baffles 952.

[0056] As shown in Figure 5As shown, in order to increase the contact area of the food and the spoiler 952, the spoiler 952 is a broken line from top to bottom, the spoiler 952 is a hollow structure and communicates with the hollow frame 951.

[0057] When working, in the process of driving the second lifting plate 8 to lift and dry the food, the second lifting plate 8 pushes the food to move synchronously in the vertical state. In the whole process from the vertical state to the inclined state, and then gradually from the inclined state to the horizontal state and from the horizontal state to the inclined state, most of the food on the second lifting plate 8 slides off the second lifting plate 8 under the action of gravity and forms a parabolic material curtain, and a small part of the food falls out through the leakage hole 80 under the action of gravity in the above process, so as to uniformly lift the food in all directions, make the food uniformly leak in the middle drying area 61, and ensure uniform heating, thereby improving the uniformity of drying the food. It needs to be pointed out that: because the single lifting action of the second lifting plate 8 cannot meet the dispersion demand of a large amount of food at the same time, the leakage hole 80 can provide part of the dispersion drying demand of the food.

[0058] Secondly, in the process of the second lifting plate 8 following the rotation of the roller 2 to lift the food, the hollow frame 951 and the spoiler 952 are synchronously rotated by the roller 2. In the process of the food forming a material curtain and falling, the spoiler 952 hinders the original moving path of the food, so that the food changes the moving direction after contacting the spoiler 952 after being lifted, increases the randomness of the moving process of the food, improves the uniformity of drying the food, and part of the hot air passing through the hollow pipe 5 enters the air outlet sleeve 91 through the communication groove 95, is sprayed into the inside of the roller 2 through the air outlet 950, and a plurality of equidistantly distributed drying heat source points are arranged in the area away from the hot air cylinder 90 through a plurality of air outlets 950. Avoid the problem that the food is not dried uniformly because the food is far away from the hot air cylinder 90, the heat of the hot air is lost, or the hot air is difficult to reach. At the same time, the hollow feature of the hollow frame 951 and the broken line surface of the spoiler 952 enable the food to fully contact the surface of the spoiler 952, so that heat is transmitted to the food in the form of direct contact while the food is disturbed, thereby improving the drying effect and efficiency.

[0059] As shown in Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the auxiliary heating ring 92 is fixedly arranged in the roller 2, and a ring-shaped cavity is formed in the auxiliary heating ring 92. The hollow pipe 5 is slidably provided with two hollow frames 96 which are symmetrical in front and back and in T shape.

[0060] The hollow pipe 5 is provided with a communication groove three 960 corresponding to the hollow frame two 96. The inner cavity of the hollow frame two 96 communicates with the inner cavity of the hollow pipe 5 through the communication groove three 960. The hollow pipe 5 is fixedly provided with a flow dividing block 961. The flow dividing block 961 is located between the two hollow frame two 96. The hot air from the right side enters the auxiliary heating ring 92 from the front hollow frame two 96 and flows out from the rear hollow frame two 96.

[0061] As shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the inner arc surface of the auxiliary heating ring 92 is provided with an auxiliary heating port 962. The number of auxiliary heating ports 962 on the auxiliary heating ring 92 from right to left gradually increases.

[0062] In operation, the hot air entering the hollow pipe 5 enters the front hollow frame two 96 through the right side first front communication groove three 960, and is divided into two paths in the auxiliary heating ring 92. Finally, the hot air is merged at the rear side of the auxiliary heating ring 92 and enters the rear hollow frame two 96, and then flows back to the hollow pipe 5 through the right side first rear communication groove three 960. At the same time, part of the heat is transferred to the auxiliary heating ring 92 through the inner wall of the drum 2 heated by the electric heating pipe. The auxiliary heating ring 92 transfers heat to the hot air flowing in it, ensuring that the hot air still has the required heat after flowing from right to left. Therefore, the heat preservation effect is achieved through the transfer of multiple auxiliary heating rings 92. The auxiliary heating ports 962 also have the effect of maintaining the drying temperature inside the drum 2. In summary, the drying capacity of the grain in the middle drying area 61 and the left area of the drum 2 meets the demand, avoiding the problem of excessive heat loss due to the open end of the drum 2 and the open setting of the drum 2, which affects the drying effect of the grain. It needs to be additionally pointed out that because the hot air is continuously transported from right to left, although it is assisted and heat preserved by the auxiliary heating ring 92 in the middle process, the temperature of the hot air blown out through the auxiliary heating port 962 is not enough to cause excessive drying of the grain. Therefore, the middle drying area 61 (far away from the area of the large hot air outlet, i.e. the accumulation area 60) is the most suitable area for drying operation in the drum 2, which ensures the drying effect while avoiding excessive drying.

[0063] It needs to be additionally pointed out that during the left and right movement of the hollow pipe 5, the corresponding communication groove one 94 is still in the inner cavity of the flow dividing cylinder 93, the communication groove two 95 is still in the inner cavity of the air outlet sleeve 91, and the communication groove three 960 is still in the coverage area of the horizontal section of the hollow frame two 96. Therefore, the left and right movement of the hollow pipe 5 will not interfere with the set flow process of the hot air between the hollow pipe 5, the flow dividing cylinder 93, the air outlet sleeve 91 and the hollow frame two 96.

[0064] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in order to prevent blockage, the hot air duct 90, the air outlet 950 and the auxiliary heating port 962 are all provided with a blocking net plate 97 with a matching shape.

[0065] It needs to be additionally pointed out that in the present application, the adjusting unit 7 and the hot air unit 9 are added to the existing drum drying technology, wherein the adjusting unit 7 changes the size of the material curtain formed by the material lifting action in the accumulation area 60, avoids the problem of overheating caused by reducing the size of the material curtain formed by the grain material lifting in the accumulation area 60 which is the highest temperature area inside the drum 2, and at the same time, the material lifting curtain of the material lifting plate two 8 in the middle drying area 61 is in the longest state, the drying uniformity and drying effect of the grain in this area are improved, the inside and outside drying operations are formed by the hot air unit 9 and the external heat source of the drum 2 being in line, and at the same time, the heat transferred from the heated drum 2 to the auxiliary heating ring 92 ensures that the hot air still has the required heat after flowing from right to left, and ensures that the drying temperature in the area from right to left in the drum 2 will not be insufficient to affect the drying effect due to the long conveying distance. Compared with the fixed material lifting action technical solution in the prior art, the problem of over-drying is avoided, and the parts are all conventional existing technical parts, which can be used continuously after single installation, so the economic benefits brought by the above-mentioned technical problems are negligible. The above-mentioned increased conventional parts, in summary, the technical solution is a specific improvement based on the existing technical condition and solving the technical problem.
