[0012] Beneficial effects of the utility model:
[0013] 1. Compared with the traditional storage device for storing processed millet, which is usually a storage box or storage tank with a simple structure with only a box door and an inlet and outlet, it is easy to get damp inside due to frequent opening and closing and the influence of the climate environment, which causes the millet to mold and breed bacteria.

By setting an openable and closable baffle on the side of the body, the moisture-proof mat and food-grade plastic cloth at the bottom of the box can be replaced regularly to avoid the moisture-proof mat and food-grade plastic cloth from becoming ineffective due to long-term use or breeding bacteria due to excessive moisture.
[0014] 2. By arranging a second moisture-proof component on the top of the box, the moisture inside the box can be dried. By arranging a fan, the moisture in the box can be sucked into the drying box through the first filter plate and the second filter plate. By placing a desiccant in the drying box, the moisture in the humid air can be absorbed, so that the dried air enters the box along the connecting pipe, thereby dehumidifying the air in the box. Under the dual cooperation of the first moisture-proof component and the second moisture-proof component, the box can be kept dry, so that the millet in the box can be kept dry and not easy to be damp and deteriorated. By opening heat dissipation holes at the left and right ends of the box, the air permeability of the box can be increased to avoid the millet being damp and deteriorated due to excessive temperature or airtightness. By arranging a humidity detection component electrically connected to the second moisture-proof component, the humidity condition in the box can be displayed in real time. By arranging a detection head to detect the humidity inside the box, when abnormal humidity is detected, the switch of the second moisture-proof component will be automatically triggered, so that the second moisture-proof component will automatically dehumidify the inside of the box, thereby playing a role of timely dehumidification and better drying effect.

By setting the humidity detection component 4 electrically connected to the second moisture-proof component 3, the humidity condition in the box 1 can be displayed in real time and the second moisture-proof component 3 can be controlled to automatically dehumidify.
[0027] When working, firstly, place the moisture-proof mat 201 and the food-grade plastic sheet 202 at the bottom of the box body 1 through the card slot 11, then close the baffle 12 and the box door 8, and then open the box cover 306 at the upper end of the drying box 301, put a proper amount of desiccant into the drying box 301 and close the box cover 306;
[0028] Then, the control valve outside the feed hopper 5 is opened to guide the processed millet from the feed hopper 5 into the box 1;
[0029] When the millet needs to be used, the control valve outside the discharge pipe 6 is opened to discharge the millet through the discharge pipe 6;
[0030] During the storage of millet, the first moisture-proof component 2 absorbs and isolates moisture from the bottom, and the moisture generated in the box body 1 enters the food-grade plastic sheet 202 below through the micro-ventilation holes on the partition 203 for preliminary absorption, and then continues downward through the moisture-proof pad 201 to further absorb moisture and isolate the moisture generated at the bottom of the box body 1;
[0031] The humidity inside the box 1 is detected by using the humidity detection component 4, and the humidity inside the box 1 is detected by the detection head 403. When abnormal humidity is detected, the switch of the second moisture-proof component 3 is automatically triggered, so that the second moisture-proof component 3 automatically dehumidifies the inside of the box 1;
[0032] The moisture in the box body 1 is sucked into the drying box 301 through the first filter plate 302 and the second filter plate 304 by the fan 303, and then the moisture in the humid air is absorbed by the desiccant in the drying box 301, and finally the dried air enters the box body 1 along the connecting pipe 305.
[0033] Through the above steps, the staff first places the moisture-proof mat 201 and the food-grade plastic sheet 202 at the bottom of the box body 1 through the card slot 11, and then closes the baffle 12 and the box door 8. By setting the card slot 11 and the baffle 12, the moisture-proof mat 201 and the food-grade plastic sheet 202 can be regularly replaced by opening the baffle 12 to avoid the moisture-proof mat 201 and the food-grade plastic sheet 202 from becoming ineffective or breeding bacteria due to excessive moisture after long-term use. Then, the box cover 306 at the upper end of the drying box 301 is opened, and an appropriate amount of desiccant is placed in the drying box 301 and the box is closed. The cover 306 is then opened, and the control valve on the outside of the feed hopper 5 is opened to guide the processed millet from the feed hopper 5 into the box body 1. When the millet needs to be used, the control valve on the outside of the discharge pipe 6 is opened to discharge the millet through the discharge pipe 6. During the storage of the millet, the moisture is absorbed and isolated from the bottom by the first moisture-proof component 2. The moisture generated in the box body 1 enters the food-grade plastic cloth 202 below through the micro-ventilation holes on the partition 203 for preliminary absorption, and then continues to move downward through the moisture-proof pad 201 to further absorb the moisture, and the box body 1 is sealed. The moisture generated at the bottom of the box 1 is isolated. By setting a food-grade plastic sheet 202 on the upper end of the moisture-proof mat 201, it can not only further prevent moisture but also prevent the chemicals or additives on the moisture-proof mat 201 from affecting Xiaomi. The humidity detection component 4 is used to detect the moisture inside the box 1. The humidity inside the box 1 is detected by the detection head 403.
