Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of grain dryers, in particular to a grain dryer with a screening structure. Background Art

[0002] With the advancement of agricultural modernization, grain production continues to expand. Traditional natural drying methods are no longer able to meet the demand for large-scale, efficient grain drying. To prevent moisture-rich grain from becoming moldy and sprouting during storage, which can reduce its nutritional value and even render it inedible, many companies have developed various types of grain dryers. The advent of grain dryers effectively addresses the challenges of post-harvest grain drying and mold, improving grain drying efficiency and quality. The working principle of a grain dryer is primarily based on the transfer of heat energy and moisture evaporation. During operation, a heating system generates high-temperature hot air, which is delivered to a drying chamber via a conveyor system. Within the drying chamber, the hot air heats and blows through the grain, gradually evaporating the moisture within it and discharging it with the air. The reduced moisture content of the dried grain significantly improves its storage stability. Under appropriate storage conditions, dried grain can maintain its quality and nutritional value for extended periods, minimizing storage losses.

[0003] To facilitate grain storage and processing, existing grain dryers often use screening mechanisms to screen the grain before and after drying. This prevents impurities and debris from clogging the dryer's grain discharge system, hindering the drying process and even damaging the equipment. Screening also removes impurities, stalks, and damaged grains, which increase the grain's surface area and thus prolong drying time. Screening reduces the total volume and surface area of ​​the grain to be dried, thereby shortening drying time, improving drying efficiency, and ensuring a smooth drying process.

[0004] However, the existing grain screening structure is usually composed of a screening bin, a screening plate, a discharge port and a conveying pipe. The grain is fed from the feed port, screened by the screening plate and then transported to the drying bin, and the screened impurities are discharged through the screening plate and the discharge port. However, when the grain is transported and screened, the straw and debris mixed in the grain are easily blocked at the top of the screen mesh hole of the screening structure. Since the screening plate is located inside the screening bin, it is often necessary to manually remove the screening plate and clean it, and then install it in the original way after cleaning. During the cleaning period, the screening bin, heating system and drying bin need to be shut down, and maintenance and cleaning are relatively cumbersome. Therefore, the screening structure greatly affects the grain transportation efficiency during the cleaning process, and is relatively inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

A motor 11 is installed corresponding to the rack 10, and the output end of the motor 11 is fixedly connected to the second gear 12. The end of the circular shaft 5 away from the first gear 7 is fixedly connected to the first pulley 13, and the bottom end of the screening bin 4 is fixedly connected to a symmetrically arranged screening plate 14. The screening bin 4 is fixedly connected to a partition plate 15 at the middle position of the screening plate 14 corresponding to the screening plate 14. The screening bin 4 is provided with a symmetrically arranged chute 16 corresponding to the screening plate 14, and a screw rod 17 is rotatably connected in the chute 16. One end of the screw rod 17 is fixedly connected to the second pulley 18, and a threaded block 19 is threadedly connected to the screw rod 17. A cleaning brush 20 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two threaded blocks 19.

[0025] A ventilation duct is fixedly connected between the hot air blower 2 and the drying bin 3, and a conveying pipe is fixedly connected between the drying bin 3 and the screening bin 4, so that the hot air blower 2 can convey the hot air to the inside of the screening bin 4 through the conveying pipe, so as to heat and dry the grain inside the screening bin 4. The first pulley 13 and the second pulley 18 are connected by a belt. The first pulley 13 and the second pulley 18 are both cam pulleys, and the belt is a synchronous belt, so that the first pulley 13 can synchronously drive the second pulley 18. The bottom end of the drying bin 3 is designed with an inclined structure, and the screening bin 4 is provided with a discharge port corresponding to the screening plate 14, so that the grain after screening at the top of the screening bin 4 is conveyed into the conveying pipe, and then conveyed to the drying bin 3 through the conveying pipe. The second gear 12 is meshed with the rack 10, and the rack 10 is meshed with the two first gears 7, so that the second gear 12 drives the rack 10 The reciprocating motion drives the two first gears 7 to rotate synchronously through the rack 10. The top of the partition plate 15 is designed as a triangular structure, and the two sides of the top of the triangle are designed as arc structures. The end of the baffle 6 close to the partition plate 15 is designed as an arc structure, and the arc trajectory corresponds to the arc trajectory of the partition plate 15. The top of the partition plate 15 is correspondingly arranged with the baffle 6. The design of the arc structure facilitates the fit between the partition plate 15 and the baffle 6, so that the two baffles 6 can effectively block the grain when performing alternating motion. The screening hole of the screening plate 14 is designed as a strip structure. The gap between the screening holes is larger than the material size, which is convenient for screening straw and debris. At the same time, it can ensure that the grain passes through the screening plate 14. The cleaning brush 20 is corresponding to the screening plate 14. The cleaning brush 20 and the screening plate 14 are fit to each other, and fit to each other, which facilitates the cleaning brush 20 to clean the debris on the top of the screening plate 14.

Since the second gear 12 is meshed with the rack 10, the second gear 12 transmits the power to the rack 10. Since the slider 9 fixedly connected to one side of the rack 10 is slidably connected to the limiting groove 8, the limited rack 10 is driven by the second gear 12 to reciprocate along the limiting groove 8. The reciprocating rack 10 squeezes the two first gears 7 at the same time, and the squeezed first gears 7 are squeezed. The gears 7 rotate at the same time, and the two first gears 7 drive the circular shafts 5 to rotate on the screening bin 4. The two rotating circular shafts 5 drive the two baffles 6 to rotate. The two rotating baffles 6 are alternately fitted with the partition plates 15. The grain falling from the top of the screening bin 4 is blocked by the baffles 6 and slides to the top of the other screening plate 14. At the same time, the rotating circular shaft 5 drives the first pulley 13 to rotate, and the first pulley 13 drives the second pulley 18 to rotate through the belt. The second pulley 18 drives the screw rod 17 to rotate, and the screw rod 17 drives the threaded block 19 to move horizontally in the chute 16. The moving threaded block 19 drives the cleaning brush 20 to clean and discharge the debris on the surface of the screening plate 14.
