Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of seed processing, and in particular to a watermelon seed drying apparatus. Background Technology
[0002] Drying is a crucial step in the production of watermelon seeds, as it directly affects the seed's storage life and germination rate. Currently, most watermelon seed drying devices on the market use a static drying method, which involves spreading the seeds evenly on a drying tray for drying. Although this method is simple to operate, the seeds are stacked, resulting in differences in the degree of drying between the surface and the interior of the seeds. The seeds in the lower layer cannot be fully heated and dried, leading to low drying uniformity and affecting the drying efficiency and quality of the seeds.
[0003] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that the watermelon seed drying device suffers from low uniformity in drying.
[0004] The above information disclosed in this background technology is only used to increase the understanding of the background technology of this application. Therefore, it may contain information that does not constitute the prior art known to ordinary technicians in this field. Utility Model Content

A conveying pipe is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the hot air blower, and the output end of the conveying pipe passes through the drying chamber and is fixedly connected to the side surface that drives the spray plate.
[0008] Preferably, a guide rail is fixedly connected between the inner top surface and the inner bottom surface of the drying oven, and the outer surface of the guide rail slides relative to the plurality of moving plates.
[0009] Preferably, a ball screw is rotatably connected between the inner top surface and the inner bottom surface of the drying oven, and the outer surface of the ball screw is screwed relative to several of the moving plates.
[0010] Preferably, the side surface of the support rod is provided with a sliding groove, and the support plate slides relative to the inner wall of the sliding groove.

[0019] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 This application is described in further detail.
[0020] This application discloses a watermelon seed drying device. (Refer to...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3The drying chamber includes a rectangular hollow cavity 1, with several rod-shaped support rods 2 fixedly connected to both inner walls of the drying chamber 1. Slide grooves 13 are formed on the side surfaces of the support rods 2. A rectangular support plate 3 is engaged between the inner walls of two opposing slide grooves 13. A placement box 4 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support plate 3, allowing the watermelon seeds to be dried to be laid flat in the placement box 4. The support plate 3 is then moved inward along the inner wall of the slide groove 13 and subsequently engaged and fixed, facilitating the rapid and stable placement of the watermelon seeds. The seeds are placed inside the drying chamber 1 for subsequent drying. A spray plate 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drying chamber 1, and a hot air blower 9 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the drying chamber 1. A tubular conveying pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the hot air blower 9, and the output end of the conveying pipe 10 passes through the drying chamber 1 and is fixedly connected to the side surface that drives the spray plate 8 so that hot air is generated under the action of the hot air blower 9. The hot air is then conveyed to the spray plate 8 through the conveying pipe 10 and sprayed outward, thereby facilitating the drying of several watermelon seeds placed in the box 4.
[0021] Secondly, several rectangular movable plates 5 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the drying oven 1. A cylindrical rotating column 6 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the movable plates 5. The movable plates 5 are rotatably connected to the turning devices 7 through the rotating column 6. The upper end of the rotating column 6 passes through the movable plates 5 to its upper surface and is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. In order to make the movable plates 5 slide downward during the drying process, thereby driving the turning devices 7 to slide downward, so that the turning devices 7 come into contact with the watermelon seeds in the placement box 4. Then, the rotating column 6 driven by the motor drives the turning devices 7 to rotate, thereby automatically turning the watermelon seeds in the placement box 4. This ensures that the seeds are heated evenly during the drying process and avoids the problem of uneven drying quality caused by uneven heat transfer.
[0022] Reference Figure 3 A cylindrical guide rail 11 is fixedly connected between the inner top and inner bottom surfaces of the drying oven 1. The outer surface of the guide rail 11 slides relative to several movable plates 5. A ball screw 12 is rotatably connected between the inner top and inner bottom surfaces of the drying oven 1. The outer surface of the ball screw 12 is screwed relative to several movable plates 5. The upper end of the ball screw 12 passes through the drying oven 1 to its upper surface and is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor so that the motor can drive the ball screw 12 to rotate. While the guide rail 11 limits the movement of the movable plates 5, it drives the movable plates 5 to slide up and down, thereby driving the flipper 7 to slide down to flip the watermelon seeds, or driving the flipper 7 to slide up, thereby preventing the flipper 7 from affecting the sliding removal or locking installation of the support plate 3 and the placement box 4.
[0023] Reference Figure 4An arc-shaped groove 14 is provided on the side surface of the support plate 3, and a groove-shaped mounting groove 15 is provided on the side surface of the support rod 2. A block-shaped locking block 16 is elastically slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 15 by a spring, and the locking block 16 can be locked into the inner wall of the groove 14. By pressing the locking block 16, it can be retracted into the inner wall of the mounting groove 15, thereby facilitating the sliding of the support plate 3, so that the support plate 3 can be quickly and stably installed or quickly slid out, avoiding affecting work efficiency.
[0024] The implementation principle of the watermelon seed drying device in this application embodiment is as follows: During use, the watermelon seeds to be dried are spread flat in the placement box 4. Then, the locking block 16 is pressed, causing it to retract against the inner wall of the mounting groove 15. At this time, the spring is in a compressed state. Then, the support plate 3 moves inward along the inner wall of the sliding groove 13. Subsequently, due to the disappearance of the external force, the locking block 16 will spring back and engage with the inner wall of the locking groove 14 under the reset action of the spring, thereby stably engaging and fixing the support plate 3. This quickly and stably places the watermelon seeds inside the drying chamber 1. Then, hot air is generated under the action of the hot air blower 9 and then transported through the conveying pipe... Hot air is delivered to the spray plate 8 and sprayed outwards, which facilitates the drying of watermelon seeds on several placement boxes 4. During the drying process, the ball screw 12 is driven by the motor to rotate, and while the guide rail 11 limits the movement plate 5, it drives the movement plate 5 to slide downwards, thereby driving the flipper 7 to slide downwards and contact the watermelon seeds. Then, the rotating column 6 is driven by the motor to rotate the flipper 7, thereby automatically flipping the watermelon seeds in the placement box 4, thus ensuring that the seeds are heated evenly during the drying process, improving the uniformity of drying and the quality of the seeds.
