Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of agricultural product drying equipment, specifically a drying equipment for agricultural product processing. Background Technology
[0002] A dryer is a type of agricultural processing equipment. Crops are various plants cultivated in agriculture, including two main categories: food crops and cash crops. A balanced diet is essential for human health. The growth of crops is inseparable from scientific and technological production techniques, as well as new industrial manufacturing equipment that can assist agricultural production. The processing of crops requires the use of dryers. Dryed crops are easier to store and less prone to spoilage.
[0003] The existing technology has the following shortcomings: During the use of the dryer, the crops need to be dynamically stirred to separate the crops that are stuck together. However, the mechanical dynamic stirring requires the use of multiple motors, which increases the power consumption of the dryer and the operating cost. During the drying process, the mechanical heating or stirring process comes into direct contact with the crops, which may damage the crops and affect their quality. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drying device for agricultural product processing to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a drying device for agricultural product processing, comprising a tank body, an inlet on the side of the tank body, and an outlet on one side of the inlet; a lifting assembly on the top of the tank body, and a guide plate inside the tank body, which guides the grain to flow to the outlet; the lifting assembly includes an end cap and an outer shell installed inside the end cap, and a propeller blade inside the outer shell, which is driven by a motor on the end cap to rotate the propeller blade, causing the grain to move from the bottom of the tank body to the outlet chamber on the outer shell, and the grain falls onto the guide plate through a discharge trough on the bottom of the outlet chamber; an air supply pipe is provided below the guide plate, and hot air is blown onto the falling grain through the air supply pipe to dry the grain.
[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the bottom of the tank is provided with a bottom cover, and a support seat is provided on the bottom surface of the bottom cover, and the support seat supports the retaining ring provided at the bottom of the propeller blade.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the bottom cover and the end cover have the same structure, and both the bottom cover and the end cover are threadedly engaged with the inner wall surface of the tank through an external threaded portion.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: both the bottom cover and the end cover are provided with a driving part on the side away from the tank body.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the driving part on the bottom cover is connected to the discharge port on the bottom cover, and the rubber pad is pressed on the discharge port by the provided plug to prevent grain leakage.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: a support frame is also provided on the outer wall of the tank, and a sealing cap is also provided on the discharge port.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model using the above technical solution are as follows: When the grain enters the tank through the feed inlet, the rotation of the propeller blades causes the grain to move upward. When the grain moves into the discharge hopper, it flows downward along the discharge chute. At the same time, the air supply pipe blows hot air onto the falling grain to remove the moisture from the grain. The falling grain flows along the guide plate to the discharge port, and then the grain flowing out of the discharge port is added back into the tank through the feed inlet. This cycle is repeated to achieve the drying of the grain.
[0012] During this process, 1. because the grains can flow out automatically by their own weight, the equipment only needs one motor to lift the grains, greatly reducing the power consumption during equipment use; 2. no stirring equipment is needed during the grain drying process, thus reducing grain breakage.

[0021] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "front," "upper surface," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0022] See also Figure 1-7 This utility model provides an embodiment of a drying device for agricultural product processing, comprising a tank 1, an inlet 4 on the side of the tank 1, and an outlet 2 on one side of the inlet 4; a lifting assembly 3 on the top of the tank 1, and a guide plate 8 inside the tank 1, which guides the grain to flow to the outlet 2; the lifting assembly 3 includes an end cap 30 and an outer shell 33 installed inside the end cap 30, and a propeller blade 32 inside the outer shell 33, which is driven to rotate by a motor 31 on the end cap 30, so that the grain moves from the bottom of the tank 1 to the outlet hopper 34 on the outer shell 33, and the grain falls onto the guide plate 8 through a discharge trough 35 on the bottom surface of the outlet hopper 34; an air supply pipe 9 is provided below the guide plate 8, and hot air is blown onto the falling grain through the air supply pipe 9 to dry the grain.
[0023] In summary, when the grains enter the tank 1 through the feed inlet 4, the rotation of the propeller blades 32 causes the grains to move upward. When the grains move into the discharge hopper 34, they flow downward along the discharge chute 35. At the same time, the air supply pipe 9 blows hot air onto the falling grains to remove the moisture from them. The falling grains flow along the guide plate 8 to the discharge port 2, and then the grains flowing out of the discharge port 2 are added back into the tank 1 through the feed inlet 4. This cycle is repeated to achieve the drying of the grains.
[0024] Based on this, during the drying process, the grains can flow out automatically by their own weight, so the equipment only needs one motor to lift the grains, greatly reducing the power consumption during equipment use; no stirring equipment is needed during the grain drying process, thus reducing grain damage.
[0025] The air inlet of the air supply pipe 9 is located outside the tank body 1. The branch pipe on the air supply pipe 9 extends upward and passes through the guide plate 8 before being exposed on the guide plate 8.
[0026] Furthermore, since the bottom of the tank body 1 is provided with a bottom cover 5, and a support base 52 is provided on the bottom surface of the bottom cover 5, the support base 52 supports the retaining ring 36 provided at the bottom of the propeller blade 32. Therefore, when the retaining ring 36 is attached to the support base 52, it can support the propeller blade 32 to reduce the swaying phenomenon of the propeller blade 32 during rotation.
[0027] Meanwhile, since the bottom cover 5 and the end cover 30 have the same structure, and both the bottom cover 5 and the end cover 30 are threadedly engaged with the inner wall of the tank body 1 through the external threaded portion 54, the end cover 30 and the bottom cover 5 are easy to assemble and disassemble from the tank body 1. This facilitates the maintenance of the internal equipment of the tank body 1 and also facilitates the installation of the lifting assembly 3 and the guide plate 8.
[0028] Furthermore, since both the bottom cover 5 and the end cover 30 have a driving part 55 on the side away from the tank body 1, and the cross-section of the driving part 55 is polygonal, the driving part 55 can be rotated by a wrench, thereby enabling the bottom cover 5 and the end cover 30 to be assembled and disassembled.
[0029] Furthermore, since the drive unit 55 on the bottom cover 5 is connected to the discharge port 51 on the bottom cover 5, the grain inside the tank 1 can be completely discharged without disassembling the bottom cover 5. Simultaneously, the rubber pad 53 is pressed against the discharge port 51 by the plug 50 to prevent grain leakage. Because of the rubber pad 53, the discharge port 51 can be completely blocked by deformation, preventing a large amount of grain from falling into the discharge port 51 and thus preventing it from being lifted.
[0030] Furthermore, since a support frame 6 is provided on the outer wall of the tank 1, the tank 1 can be supported using the support frame 6; it also facilitates the installation of casters on the support frame 6 to move the tank 1. In addition, since a sealing cap 7 is provided on the discharge port 2, when the guide plate 8 is not installed inside the tank 1, the lifting component 3 moves the grain to the top of the tank 1, causing the grain to fall into the discharge hopper 34; then the lifting component 3 lifts the fallen grain back into the discharge hopper 34, and so on, allowing the grain to circulate inside the tank 1; when the grain is circulating inside the tank 1, the sealing cap 7 is used to block the discharge port 2.
[0031] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, and these variations still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
