[0015] Beneficial effects
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present application are that the present application provides a rice microwave heat pump coupled drying device.
[0017] (1) After the rice is put into the inner cavity of the drying chamber, the heat pump mechanism will inject hot air into the inner cavity of the hollow cylinder. Then, the motor will drive the hollow cylinder to rotate, which will drive multiple hollow stirring blades to rotate. During the rotation of the hollow stirring blades, hot air will be sprayed out through multiple drying micro-holes to dry the surface of the rice. When the microwave generator works, it can directly heat the water molecules in the rice, causing them to evaporate rapidly and drive the water to migrate from the inside to the surface. The hot air and microwave work simultaneously. The hot air removes the surface water, and the microwave accelerates the migration of internal water. The two work together to achieve efficient drying. In addition, the hollow stirring blades can agitate the rice during the drying process, which can improve the drying uniformity of the rice and facilitate the use of rice drying.
[0018] (2) After the fan starts working, it can draw the hot and humid air from the top of the drying chamber and inject it into the heat pump assembly. After the heat pump assembly removes the moisture from the hot and humid air, it retains the heat in the airflow and flows into the hot air box assembly. The hot air box assembly circulates the hot airflow into the hollow cylinder, reducing heat loss and thus reducing heat consumption during the use of the device, and improving the drying efficiency of rice.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-4 The present invention provides a technical solution: a microwave heat pump coupled drying device for rice, including a receiving box, a drying chamber is provided at one end of the receiving box, a hollow cylinder is rotatably arranged in the inner cavity of the drying chamber, a plurality of hollow stirring blades are connected to the surface of the hollow cylinder, a plurality of drying micro holes are opened on the surface of the hollow stirring blades, and a microwave generating component is provided at the top of the inner wall of the drying chamber.
[0027] A working chamber is provided at the other end of the container. An air extraction hopper is provided at the top of the other end of the drying chamber, which is connected to the inner cavity of the working chamber. An air extraction mechanism is provided inside the air extraction hopper. A heat pump mechanism is provided in the inner cavity of the working chamber, which is connected to the air extraction hopper and circulates airflow into the hollow cylinder.
[0028] In this embodiment, after the rice is put into the inner cavity of the drying chamber, the heat pump mechanism injects hot air into the inner cavity of the hollow cylinder. Then, the motor drives the hollow cylinder to rotate, which in turn drives multiple hollow stirring blades to rotate. During the rotation of the hollow stirring blades, hot air is sprayed out through multiple drying micro-holes, which can dry the surface of the rice.
[0029] Once the microwave generator is operational, it can directly heat the moisture molecules in the rice, causing them to evaporate rapidly and driving the moisture to migrate from the inside to the surface. The hot air and microwaves work together, with the hot air removing surface moisture and the microwaves accelerating the migration of internal moisture. The coupled and synergistic effect of the two achieves efficient drying. Furthermore, the hollow stirring blades agitate the rice during the drying process, which improves the uniformity of drying and facilitates the use of rice drying equipment.
[0030] Furthermore, a feeding hopper is vertically arranged on the top of the receiving box and communicates with the inner cavity of the drying chamber. A protective cover is provided on the top of the feeding hopper, and a lifting rod is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the protective cover.
[0031] Furthermore, a motor is fixedly connected to one end face of the receiving box, and a crossbar is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor. The other end of the crossbar extends rotatably into the inner cavity of the drying chamber and is fixedly connected to one end of the hollow cylinder.
[0032] Furthermore, the plurality of hollow stirring blades are arranged in a uniformly spaced annular pattern along the surface of the hollow cylinder, and the plurality of drying micropores are arranged in a uniformly spaced annular pattern along the surface of the hollow stirring blades.
[0033] Second Embodiment
[0034] Please refer to Figure 4 Based on the same concept as the first embodiment above, the exhaust mechanism includes a support frame and a fan. The support frame is fixedly connected to the interior of the exhaust hopper, and the fan is fixedly connected to the surface of the support frame.
[0035] The heat pump mechanism includes a heat pump assembly and a hot air box assembly. The heat pump assembly is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the working chamber, and the hot air box assembly is fixedly connected to the side wall of the working chamber.
[0036] The air outlet pipe of the hot air box assembly extends rotatably into the interior of the hollow cylinder. The air extraction hopper, the heat pump assembly, and the hot air box assembly are connected in sequence to convert the humid gas above the drying chamber into hot air and store it in the hot air box assembly.
[0037] In this embodiment, after the fan starts working, it can draw the hot and humid air from the top of the drying chamber and inject it into the heat pump assembly. The heat pump assembly removes the moisture from the hot and humid air, retains the heat in the airflow, and flows into the hot air box assembly. The hot air box assembly circulates the hot airflow into the hollow cylinder, reducing heat loss and thus reducing heat consumption during the use of the device, and improving the drying efficiency of rice.
[0038] Furthermore, the drain outlet of the heat pump component is connected to a drain pipe, the other end of which extends to the outside of the housing and is equipped with a valve. After the valve is opened, the water generated inside the heat pump component can be discharged through the drain pipe.
[0039] Furthermore, a feeding box door adapted to the drying chamber is provided at one end of the front side of the receiving box. The surface of the feeding box door is provided with an observation window, a latch, and a handle is fixedly connected to the surface of the feeding box door.

[0041] After the latch is unlocked, the feed box door can be opened by the handle to discharge the dried rice from the drying chamber. After removing several bolts, the inspection cover can be removed to facilitate the later inspection and maintenance of the heat pump mechanism.
[0042] The working principle and usage process of this invention: After the invention is installed, rice is placed into the inner cavity of the drying chamber. The fan then draws out the hot and humid air from the top of the drying chamber and injects it into the heat pump assembly. The heat pump assembly removes the moisture from the hot and humid air, retains the heat in the airflow, and flows into the hot air box assembly. The hot air box assembly circulates the hot airflow into the hollow cylinder, reducing heat loss. After the hot airflow is injected into the inner cavity of the hollow cylinder, the motor drives the hollow cylinder to rotate, which in turn drives multiple hollow stirring blades to rotate. During the rotation of the hollow stirring blades, hot airflow is sprayed out through multiple drying micro-holes, which can dry the surface of the rice. When the microwave generator works in conjunction with the microwave generator, it can directly heat the water molecules in the rice, causing them to evaporate rapidly and driving the water to migrate from the inside to the surface. The hot air and microwave work simultaneously. The hot air removes surface moisture, and the microwave accelerates the migration of internal moisture. The coupled and synergistic effect of the two achieves efficient drying.
