Description

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of grain storage, in particular to a ventilation and drying device for a grain bin. Background Art
[0002] Most of the existing grain storage methods are to place the grain in a tank made of metal. Grain has a longer storage time in a dry environment, so it is necessary to ensure that the moisture content in the tank is low when storing the grain. However, after the grain in the tank is piled up for a long time and the inside of the tank is not ventilated, the grain will become damp, resulting in mildew of the grain. Therefore, it is necessary to ventilate the grain in the tank in time.
[0003] During ventilation, dry air is injected into the tank through an external device, so that the dry air contacts the grain, and the air takes the moisture in the grain out of the tank to ensure its dryness.
[0004] However, after the air in the above solution enters the tank, the air can only contact the grain piled on the surface layer, and the grain piled in the middle part cannot breathe, which easily causes local humidity in the tank, resulting in mildew of the grain piled in the middle part and polluting the surrounding grain.

[0030] Furthermore, a feed port 12 is provided on the tank body 1, and the feed port 12 is located at the top of the tank body 1. A removable sealing cover is provided on the feed port 12. When adding grains to the tank body 1, the sealing cover is removed and the grains are injected into the tank body 1 through the feed port 12. Since the feed port 12 is located at the top of the tank body 1, the grains will flow to the bottom of the tank body 1 due to gravity. After the grains are added, the sealing cover is placed on the feed port 12 to prevent foreign matter or moisture from entering the tank body 1 through the feed port 12.
[0031] Furthermore, a discharge port 13 is provided on the tank body 1, and the discharge port 13 is located at the bottom of the tank body 1, and a valve is provided in the discharge port 13; when the grain in the tank body 1 needs to be collected, the valve is opened and the grain will be discharged from the discharge port 13 due to gravity.

When the air permeable plate 3 supports the grain, most of the weight applied by the grain to the air permeable plate 3 is transferred to the tank body 1, reducing the downward pressure of the grain on the connecting pipe 2 and the air permeable plate 3.
[0037] Furthermore, the air permeable plate 3 is divided into a spiral storage area 15 in the tank body 1, and the two ends of the storage area 15 are respectively connected to the feed port 12 and the discharge port 13.

The outside of the first frame 431 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air duct 41. A plurality of fins 432 arranged at intervals are arranged in the first frame 431. The middle part of the first copper tube 433 snakes and reciprocally penetrates through the plurality of fins 432 to increase the contact area between the first copper tube 433 and the fins 432. Both ends of the first copper tube 433 penetrate through the first frame 431; both ends of the first copper tube 433 penetrate through the first frame 431, and both ends of the first copper tube 433 penetrate into the receiving cavity 42.
[0047] The evaporator 44 includes a second frame 441, a second copper tube 442, a first water collecting box 443 and a plurality of second water collecting boxes 444. In this embodiment, the second frame 441 is preferably a hollow rectangular frame structure. The outside of the second frame 441 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air duct 41. The first water collecting box 443 is located at the bottom of the inner wall of the second frame 441. A first drain pipe 445 is arranged on the evaporator 44. One end of the first drain pipe 445 penetrates into the second frame 441 and is communicated with the first water collecting box 443, and the other end of the first drain pipe 445 penetrates out of the dryer 4.
[0048] Furthermore, the middle part of the second copper tube 442 is located within the second frame 441. The middle part of the second copper tube 442 is arranged in a serpentine reciprocating pattern, forming multiple U - shapes. Both ends of the second copper tube 442 penetrate through the second frame 441 and both ends of the second copper tube 442 penetrate into the receiving cavity 42.
[0049] Furthermore, multiple second water - collecting boxes 444 are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the second frame 441.

[0051] The refrigerant after heat exchange in the evaporator 44 is injected into the outlet port of the compressor 451 through one end of the second copper tube 442. After the compressor 451 compresses the refrigerant, the high - temperature refrigerant enters the condenser 43 through one end of the first copper tube 433. The fins 432 on the condenser 43 are used to cool down the refrigerant. The refrigerant cooled down within the condenser 43 is injected into the expansion valve 452 through the other end of the first copper tube 433. The refrigerant within the expansion valve 452 is injected into the evaporator 44 through the other end of the second copper tube 442, enabling the evaporator 44 to perform heat exchange on the passing air and convert the water vapor in the air into condensed water.
[0052] Please refer to Figures 1 - 8 。
[0053] During operation:
[0054] The second fan 411 sucks the outside air into the air duct 41. The air sequentially passes through the condenser 43 and the evaporator 44. The air cools down the condenser 43. When the air passes through the evaporator 44, the low temperature of the second copper pipe 442 converts the water vapor in the air into condensed water. The condensed water drops on the first water collecting box 443 and the second water collecting box 444 and then is discharged outside the dryer through the first drain pipe 445, thereby reducing the water vapor content in the air and converting the air into dry cold air. The third fan 413 sucks the dry cold air in the air duct 41 into the connection pipe 2. The dry cold air sequentially passes through the connection pipe 2, the ventilation plate 3 and the ventilation holes 31 and is injected into the grains. The dry cold air takes away the moisture in the grains. The first fan 141 discharges the cold air with moisture in the tank body 1 to the outside of the tank body 1, realizing ventilation and dehumidification for the grains in the tank body 1. When the tank body 1 is arranged outdoors and the outdoor temperature is high, the dry cold air can also cool down the inside of the tank body 1 to prevent the grains from being damaged by the high temperature in the tank body 1.
[0055] The utility model provides a ventilation and drying device for a grain bin. Grains are injected into the placing area from the feeding port. Since the placing area is spiral, the ventilation plate can be evenly inserted into each layer of grains. The dryer sucks air from the outside world, and the dryer removes most of the moisture in the air, thereby converting the air into dry air. The dry air enters and flows into the ventilation plate through the connection pipe. The dry air passes through the ventilation holes and is injected into the grains piled on the ventilation plate, enabling the dry air to cover each area in the tank body and avoiding the problem that the grains piled in the middle part cannot be ventilated. The blocking net can prevent the grains from falling into the ventilation plate through the ventilation holes. The dry air passes through the grains and takes away the moisture in them. The air carrying the moisture is discharged outside the tank body from the exhaust port, realizing ventilation for the grains in each area of the tank body.
