Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of corn kernel processing, in particular to a drying device for corn kernel processing. Background Art
[0002] Corn kernels are actually the fruit of corn, which belongs to the caryopsis type of grass plants. This fruit is closely connected to the seed, so corn kernels can be regarded as both fruit and seed. Corn kernels are usually spherical or oblate in shape, and their color is mostly yellow when mature. In food processing, some corn kernels need to be dried after screening, disinfection, sterilization and other processes to dry out the moisture on the surface of the corn kernels, so as to facilitate the subsequent sealing installation.
[0003] When drying corn kernels, some drying methods are to flatten the corn kernels and then dry them under the sun, or pour them into a box and put them into a drying device for batch drying. However, because the corn kernels are poured into the box, they will be squeezed together, resulting in the drying heat being unable to dry the corn kernels squeezed inside, resulting in poor drying effect of the corn kernels in the box. After drying, a small amount of corn kernels still have moisture on the surface, which is not conducive to subsequent sealed packaging. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model aims to solve the shortcomings in the prior art and proposes a drying device for corn kernel processing.

[0007] In addition, a preferred structure is that the roller includes a cylinder body, and connecting shafts are symmetrically fixedly connected to the middle of the side wall surfaces on both sides of the cylinder body, one side of the connecting shaft is arranged on one side of the bearing seat, and the other side of the connecting shaft is arranged on the other side of the bearing seat and is connected to the output end of the motor, and a material port is opened horizontally through the upper part of the cylinder body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.
[0018] Reference Figure 1-4A drying device for processing corn kernels comprises a fixed platform 1, bearing seats 2 are symmetrically and vertically arranged on both sides of the upper end surface of the fixed platform 1, a roller 3 is rotatably arranged between the bearing seats 2 on both sides, a wind hood 7 is embedded on the upper surface of the solid platform 1, a hot air blower 6 is arranged on one side of the fixed platform 1, a motor 5 is connected to one side of one bearing seat 2, the motor 5 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the fixed platform 1, and the motor 5 drives the roller 3 to rotate on the bearing seats 2 on both sides.
[0019] Among them, the drum 3 includes a drum body 32, and a connecting shaft 31 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the middle of the side wall surfaces of both sides of the drum body 32. The connecting shaft 31 on one side is arranged on the bearing seat 2 on one side, and the connecting shaft 31 on the other side is arranged on the bearing seat 2 on the other side and is connected and installed with the output end of the motor 5. A material opening 33 is opened horizontally through the upper part of the drum body 32. The connecting shaft 31 is arranged on the bearing seat 2 and can rotate with the bearing seat 2 as the axis. At the same time, it is driven by the connected and installed motor 5 to realize the rotation of the drum 3, which is convenient for the corn kernels inside to continuously roll.
[0020] In addition, a cavity 321 is opened in the barrel 32, and the material port 33 is connected with the cavity 321. The upper end surface of the material port 33 is horizontally covered with a cover plate 4. A plurality of threaded holes are evenly opened on the upper end surface of the material port 33. A plurality of through holes 322 are evenly opened on the outer wall of the barrel 32. The through holes 322 are connected with the cavity 321. The through holes 322 facilitate the hot air blown out by the bottom wind dissipation hood 7 to be blown into the cavity 321, and the aperture of the through holes 322 is too small to allow corn kernels to pass through.
[0021] Moreover, the cover plate 4 includes a top plate 41, on which a plurality of fixing components 8 are installed. The fixing components 8 pass through the top plate 41 and are screwed into the threaded holes of the material port 33. A protrusion 42 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the top plate 41, and the protrusion 42 can be snapped into the material port 33. A handle 43 is vertically symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the top plate 41. The fixing components 8 can effectively install and fix the cover plate 4 on the upper surface of the material port 33, so that the cover plate 4 will not fall off when rolling.
[0022] At the same time, an installation cavity 11 is opened in the middle of the side wall of one side of the fixed platform 1, the hot air blower 6 is located on one side of the installation cavity 11, and the air outlet duct of the hot air blower 6 is arranged in the installation cavity 11 and connected with the wind dispersion hood 7. The wind dispersion hood 7 can discharge the hot air generated by the hot air blower 6 and slowly diffuse it, instead of just letting the hot air blow out vertically upwards.
[0023] In the present embodiment, when it is necessary to dry corn kernels during food processing, the drying device can be used for drying. First, the cover plate 4 on the material port 33 is removed, the fixing component 8 is removed, and the cover plate 4 is removed by pulling the handle 43. Then, the operator pours the corn kernels into the material port 33 at the upper end, and the corn kernels fall from the material port 33 into the cavity 321 of the cylinder 32. After a certain amount of corn kernels are poured in, the cover plate 4 is re-covered on the material port 33 to prevent the corn kernels from falling out, and the protrusion 42 is buckled into the material port 33. Then, the fixing component 8 is passed through the mounting hole of the top plate 41 and screwed into the threaded hole of the material port 33. The cover plate 4 is fixed on the material port 33 to prevent the corn kernels inside from falling out of the material port 33 when the drum 3 rotates. Moreover, the protrusion 42 can be pressed against the material port 33 to prevent the corn kernels from being stuck therein and unable to be dried.
[0024] After the corn kernels are loaded into the cylinder 32, the motor 5 can be started. The output end of the motor 5 makes the connecting shaft 31 connected to it cooperate with the bearing seats 2 on both sides to rotate, so as to realize the rotation of the drum 3. At this time, the corn kernels are turned over in the cavity 321. As the drum 3 rotates, the corn kernels inside will continue to roll and change their positions. At this time, the hot air generated by the hot air blower 6 is discharged from the air hood 7 and slowly diffuses. Instead of just letting the hot air blow vertically upward, it diffuses and then floats upward, so that the bottom of the cavity 321 continues to gather hot air, and the hot air will pass through the through hole 322 into the cavity 3 21, so that the temperature at the bottom of the cavity 321 is too high, and the aperture of the through hole 322 is set very small, so that large corn kernels cannot pass through. The higher temperature is combined with the hot air to dry the corn kernels for a long time. When the corn kernels are dried, when the material port 33 rotates to the bottom, the drive of the motor 5 is stopped. At this time, the cover plate 4 is removed, and the operator uses a box under the material port 33 to collect the corn kernels. Even if some corn kernels are accumulated in the cavity 321 and cannot fall out by themselves, the operator only needs to reach into the larger material port 33 to pull the corn kernels out of the bottom wall of the cavity 321.
[0025] In the utility model, corn kernels are poured into the drum 3, and the bearing seats 2 on both sides realize the rotation of the connecting shaft 31. The motor 5 is arranged to drive the connecting shaft 31 to rotate, so that the drum 3 can rotate. At this time, the corn kernels are turned over in the cavity 321. As the drum 3 rotates, the hot air blown out by the wind hood 7 arranged at the bottom makes the bottom of the cavity 321 continuously gather with hot air, and the hot air passes through the through hole 322 into the cavity 321, so that the temperature at the bottom of the cavity 321 is too high, so that the corn kernels are dried. The corn kernels are rolling all the time and will not pile up together, resulting in that the corn kernels inside cannot be dried, so that the drying effect is better.
[0026] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
