[0023] In order to make the technical means, creative features, purpose and efficacy of the utility model easy to understand, the utility model is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments, but the following embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the utility model, not all. Based on the embodiments in the implementation mode, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are all within the scope of protection of the utility model. The experimental methods in the following embodiments are all conventional methods unless otherwise specified, and the materials, reagents, etc. used in the following embodiments are all commercially available unless otherwise specified.

[0024] Example:

[0025] See also Figure 1 - Figure 5 A fresh corn cooling and air-drying device comprises a conveyor base 1, a metal conveyor belt 2 for conveying corn is arranged inside the conveyor base 1, a bellows 3 for drying corn is installed inside the metal conveyor belt 2, a cavity for corn to pass through is reserved between the metal conveyor belt 2 and the bellows 3, and the cavity height is 5-10cm. The limited height can prevent corn from stacking, so that corn can pass in a single layer, and avoid corns from covering each other and forming a drying dead corner. A water collecting trough 4 for receiving water droplets falling through the metal conveyor belt 2 is arranged at the bottom of the conveyor base 1, and the water collecting trough 4 comprises two groups of connecting hooks 41 installed at the bottom end of the conveyor base 1, and a water trough body 42 arranged between the two groups of connecting hooks 41, and a limiting plate 5 for limiting the setting of the water collecting trough 4 is arranged between the inside of the conveyor base 1, and a water collecting trough limiting handle 6 for fixing the water collecting trough 4 by cooperating with the limiting plate 5 is arranged at the end of the water collecting trough 4;

[0026] The bellows 3 provide a continuous downward airflow, which blows away moisture from the surface of the corn. The blown away moisture falls into the water collecting trough 4 through the metal conveyor belt 2 and is collected and discharged through the water collecting trough 4.

[0027] The distance between the opposite ends of the two sets of connecting hooks 41 is smaller than the length of the sink body 42. The connecting hooks 41 are designed in an "L" shape, and the sink body 42 is hung in the connecting hooks 41. During installation, first plug and connect one side of the sink body 42 with the connecting hooks 41 on the corresponding side, and ensure the insertion depth during the plug-in connection, and then plug and connect the other side of the sink body 42 with the connecting hooks 41 on the corresponding side by reverse pulling.

[0028] The distance between the opposite ends of the two groups of connecting hooks 41 is greater than the length of the water trough body 42. The connecting hooks 41 can provide sufficient support area for the setting of the water trough body 42. The top surface of the water trough body 42 is fitted with the bottom surface of the conveyor base 1 under the support of the connecting hooks 41. After the connecting hooks 41 are fitted with the conveyor base 1, the sealing degree of the connection can be guaranteed to prevent the water flowing downstream through the metal conveyor belt 2 from flowing out from the gap between the conveyor base 1 and the connecting hooks 41.

[0029] The bottom surface of the limiting plate 5 is at the same horizontal height as the upper surface of the sink body 42. A through hole is opened on the surface of the limiting plate 5 to cooperate with the water collection tank limiting handle 6 for fixing. When the water collection tank limiting handle 6 on the sink body 42 coincides with the position of the limiting plate 5, the water collection tank limiting handle 6 and the limiting plate 5 form an embedded locking structure, and the water collection tank 4 remains fixed in position under the restriction of the water collection tank limiting handle 6.

[0030] The water collection tank limit handle 6 includes a lateral structural piece 61, a guide groove 62, an embedded pull rod 63, a gripping handle 64 and a spring 65. The lateral structural piece 61 is installed on one side of the water tank body 42. The guide groove 62 is welded on the surface of the lateral structural piece 61 and penetrates the lateral structural piece 61. The embedded pull rod 63 is sleeved in the guide groove 62. The gripping handle 64 is fixed between the ends of the embedded pull rod 63. The spring 65 is arranged between the gripping handle 64 and the lateral structural piece 61 and is connected to the lateral structural piece 61 and the gripping handle 64 at the same time. The setting position of the guide groove 62 and the sleeve are The embedded pull rod 63 inside the guide groove 62 corresponds to the position of the through hole in the limit plate 5, and the end of the embedded pull rod 63 is rounded. After the guide groove 62 and the embedded pull rod 63 inside correspond to the position of the through hole in the limit plate 5, under the elastic force of the spring 65, the embedded pull rod 63 can be inserted into the through hole of the limit plate 5 along the guide groove 62 to complete the embedded locking, thereby limiting the position of the water collection tank 4. The rounded corner treatment of the embedded pull rod 63 can make the embedded pull rod 63 more smoothly embedded in the through hole position of the limit plate 5 without the need for precise alignment.

[0031] The end of the holding handle 64 extends outward to form a "T"-shaped extension portion, and the surface of the "T"-shaped extension portion is rounded. The "T"-shaped extension portion can be used for the user to grasp. The sink body 42 can be easily pulled out by the holding handle 64, which improves the convenience of use. At the same time, the "T"-shaped extension portion can facilitate the user to press the holding handle 64 downward.

[0032] In the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or may include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above", "above" and "above" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below", "below" and "below" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.
