[0038] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 Dehydration is a key step in the resource utilization of baijiu distiller's grains. Because baijiu distiller's grains contain a large amount of water, dehydration is necessary to reduce the moisture content to an appropriate level for subsequent processing and utilization. Currently, common dehydration methods include traditional electric heating and drying, and natural gas heating and drying.
[0039] However, these traditional methods have some problems, such as high energy consumption, high energy consumption, and low economic benefits. This is mainly due to the low efficiency of traditional thermal energy conversion, which leads to low energy utilization. Based on this, the present application provides an automatic air-drying device for white wine lees, including a carrying component 1, a drying component 2 for loading target objects is arranged above the carrying component 1, and a spreading component 3 is installed in the middle of the drying component 2 to accelerate the drying progress of the target objects;
[0040] The carrying assembly 1 includes a box body 11, an inner cavity 13 is provided on the inner side of the box body 11, and one or more positioning grooves 12 are provided on the inner side of the inner cavity 13 near the top, and the positioning grooves 12 are adapted to the drying assembly 2;

[0042] The drying assembly 2 includes a sieve plate 21 . One or more clamping blocks 23 are provided on the outer side of the sieve plate 21 at positions corresponding to the positioning grooves 12 . The clamping blocks 23 are adapted to the positioning grooves 12 .
[0043] An inner cavity 13 is designed inside the box body 11, and one or more positioning grooves 12 are provided on the inner side near the top. The function of these positioning grooves 12 is to adapt to the drying component 2 to ensure the stable installation of the drying component 2. At the same time, one or more positioning holes are provided on the inner side of the inner cavity 13 near the bottom. These positioning holes are used to install the ventilation component 4 to ensure good air circulation during the drying process.
[0044] The drying component 2 includes a sieve plate 21. One or more blocks 23 are provided on the outer side of the sieve plate 21 corresponding to the positioning groove 12 in the supporting component 1. These blocks 23 are adapted to the positioning groove 12 to ensure that the sieve plate 21 will not move or loosen during the drying process. The function of the sieve plate 21 is to provide support and a uniform drying surface during the drying process, so that the white wine lees can be evenly dried, thereby speeding up the drying progress.
[0045] During actual use, the white wine lees to be processed are placed on the supporting component 1, and then the drying component 2 is installed, ensuring that the sieve plate 21 is in the proper position, and the ventilation component 4 is installed at the positioning hole. Subsequently, the ventilation component 4 can be started as needed, and the air can be blown into the interior of the device from the bottom ventilation hole by natural wind or wind generated by the fan, so as to achieve air-drying of the white wine lees. On sunny days, solar energy can be used to assist the drying process, and on cloudy days or at night, the dehydration process can be completed by relying solely on the work of the ventilation component 4. The air-drying process of the white wine lees can be carried out automatically without manual intervention, thereby improving production efficiency and saving labor costs.

The other end is provided with a slider 34, which is slidably connected to the mounting cylinder 22, allowing the spreading assembly 3 to perform appropriate swinging movements under the guidance of the mounting cylinder 22.
[0054] One or more plowshares 32 are located at the bottom of the rotating rod 31. These plowshares 32 are spaced a certain distance from the sieve plate 21 to evenly distribute the target material. The plowshares 32 ensure that the white wine lees are evenly spread during the drying process, preventing accumulation and uneven drying, thereby improving drying efficiency.
[0055] In actual use, when the white wine lees are placed on the device and the ventilation component 4 is started for air drying, the rotating rod 31 of the spreading component 3 will rotate under the guidance of the mounting cylinder 22, so that the plow 32 spreads the white wine lees evenly on the screen plate 21, thereby improving the drying efficiency and speed.
[0056] The design of the spreading component 3 can ensure that the white wine lees are evenly spread during the drying process, avoiding the situation where the lees are locally too thick or too thin, and improving the drying efficiency and quality.

[0060] See also Figure 7The spreading assembly 3 further includes a motor 35 , which is disposed on the inner side of the mounting tube 22 and is combined with the slider 34 through a positioning ring 36 . The motor 35 drives the positioning ring 36 to rotate, thereby driving the slider 34 to rotate along the mounting tube 22 .
[0061] In addition to the rotating rod 31 and the plow blade 32, the spreading assembly 3 also includes a motor 35. The motor 35 is mounted inside the mounting barrel 22 and coupled to the slider 34 via a positioning ring 36. The motor 35 rotates the positioning ring 36, thereby driving the slider 34 to rotate along the mounting barrel 22. Driven by the motor 35, the spreading assembly 3 automatically swings during the drying process, ensuring that the white wine lees are evenly spread, further improving drying efficiency and quality.
[0062] In actual application, when the device is started, the motor 35 starts to rotate with the positioning ring 36, and then drives the slider 34 to rotate along the mounting tube 22. This automated spreading process not only reduces the need for manual operation, but also ensures the uniformity and stability of drying, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality.
[0063] The spreading component 3 driven by the motor 35 can ensure that the white wine lees are spread more evenly during the drying process, avoiding the situation where the lees are locally too thick or too thin, and further improving the product quality and drying efficiency.

[0070] The ventilation component 4 includes a pipe 41, one end of which extends along the mounting hole 14 to the middle of the inner side of the box body 11, and the other end is adapted to the external blower, so that the blower can introduce fresh air from the outside into the box body 11 through the pipe 41, maintain air circulation, and accelerate the drying process of the white wine lees. The pipe 41 is located on the inner side of the box body 11 and is provided with two branch pipes 42. Support plates 44 are provided above these branch pipes 42 to ensure that the pipe 41 is firmly fixed inside the box body 11 to avoid shaking or loosening.
