Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying machine technology, and in particular to a drying mechanism for soybean processing. Background Technology
[0002] Soybeans have a wide range of applications in food processing, animal husbandry, industry, agriculture, and medicine and health care. They bring many benefits in providing high-quality food, supporting livestock breeding, promoting industrial development, improving soil, and serving as a health supplement. Soybeans have extremely high application value. Dryers are needed in soybean processing because they can ensure soybean quality and storage safety, meet processing and production needs, cope with different harvesting and storage conditions, and improve the overall efficiency of agricultural production.
[0003] Soybean dryers generally consist of a drying chamber, a material conveying device, and a heating device. The soybean dryer generates heat through the heating device and delivers hot air through the ventilation device, allowing the soybeans to evaporate moisture through heat transfer in the drying chamber. The humid air is then discharged with the help of the dehumidification device. The drying operation is achieved by relying on the material conveying device for feeding and discharging materials and the circulation function of some equipment, while the control device performs parameter control and status monitoring.
[0004] Existing soybean dryers cannot precisely measure the amount of material entering them. Because the amount of soybeans entering the dryer is not fixed, when too much material is fed, a large number of soybeans pile up together, making it difficult for hot air to penetrate each soybean evenly and thoroughly. This can easily lead to incomplete drying of the inner soybeans, while the outer soybeans may scorch and lose too many nutrients due to prolonged exposure to hot air. Conversely, if too little material is fed, not only is the energy and time of the drying equipment wasted, but the soybeans are also too scattered, making it impossible to form a stable drying environment, resulting in inconsistent moisture content in the dried soybeans. Therefore, a new soybean drying mechanism is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above deficiencies, this utility model provides a drying mechanism for soybean processing, which aims to improve the problem that the existing technology cannot quantify the amount of soybeans entering the dryer.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a soybean drying mechanism, comprising a sturdy and durable base plate 1. The base plate 1 is made of high-quality steel, possessing excellent load-bearing capacity and providing a solid foundation for the stable operation of all components. A shell 2 is securely connected to the top of the base plate 1 via welding or other methods. The shell 2 is made of thick metal, providing excellent protection against external environmental factors and offering insulation to reduce heat loss and improve drying efficiency. A roller 3 is rotatably connected inside the shell 2. The roller 3 is made of a metal with excellent thermal conductivity, allowing for even heat distribution within it and creating a suitable environment for drying soybeans, ensuring they are fully heated and dried. A feed inlet 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the roller 3. The material of the feed inlet 4 is compatible with the roller 3, ensuring smooth entry of soybeans. The bottom of the feed inlet 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1, providing a stable support structure for the entire feeding process and ensuring smooth and orderly feeding.
[0033] A storage tank 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1. The storage tank 5 is made of a material with good sealing properties, which can effectively prevent soybeans from getting damp or being mixed with impurities, thus ensuring the quality of the stored soybeans. A limiting frame 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer side of the storage tank 5. The limiting frame 6 is connected to the storage tank 5 by a sturdy connection method. Its material has sufficient strength to provide a stable installation environment for the internal drive components. The drive components for driving the parts are fixedly connected inside the limiting frame 6. The proper operation of the drive components plays a key role in realizing the various functions of the entire equipment.
[0034] The drive assembly includes a cylinder 7. The cylinder body of the cylinder 7 is made of high-strength alloy material, which has good pressure resistance and durability and can stably generate driving force. One side of the cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the inside of the limiting frame 6, making its installation firm and reliable. The drive end of the cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to a sliding block 8. The material of the sliding block 8 has a low coefficient of friction, which can slide smoothly inside the limiting frame 6, reducing energy loss and component wear. The outer side of the sliding block 8 is slidably connected to the inside of the limiting frame 6, and the outer side of the connecting column 13 is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding block 8. Through this sliding connection method, the transmission between the components is more flexible and stable.
[0035] The outer side of connecting rod 10 is slidably connected to the inside of sliding block 8. The outer side of driving rod 1 9 is slidably connected to the inside of sliding block 8. The outer side of driving rod 2 12 is slidably connected to the inside of sliding block 8. Driving rod 1 9 is slidably connected to the inside of driving assembly. Connecting rod 10 is fixedly connected to the outer side of driving rod 19. Rotating block 11 is fixedly connected to the outer side of connecting rod 10. Rotating block 11 is rotatably connected to the inside of storage tank 5. During the entire operation, rotating block 11 can rotate flexibly and precisely cooperate with other components to achieve corresponding actions, ensuring accurate control of soybean feeding amount. The internal sliding connection of the component includes a second driving rod 12, and a connecting column 13 is fixedly connected to the outside of the second driving rod 12. A second rotating block 14 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting column 13. The outside of the second rotating block 14 is rotatably connected to the inside of the storage tank 5. The second rotating block 14 can also rotate smoothly, working in conjunction with the second driving rod 12 and other components to achieve effective control of soybean feeding. Through this ingenious structural design, the components work together to achieve the effect of quantitative soybean feeding, thereby ensuring that the amount of soybeans entering the drying stage is relatively fixed each time, which is conducive to the standardized operation of the subsequent drying process and the stable improvement of drying quality.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 A screening assembly for screening soybeans is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1. The screening assembly can remove impurities and classify the dried soybeans, further improving their quality. The screening assembly includes multiple fixed columns 15, the bottom of which are fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1. The fixed columns 15 are made of sturdy metal and can stably support the structure above, providing reliable basic support for the entire screening operation.
[0037] A spring 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed column 15. The spring 16 has good elasticity and toughness, which can play a role in buffering and assisting vibration during the operation of the equipment, ensuring the smooth operation of the screening work. A fixed block 17 is fixedly connected to the other end of the spring 16. The fixed block 17 is made of sturdy material and is tightly connected to the spring 16 to ensure the stability of the structure. A protective shell 18 is fixedly connected to the inside of the fixed block 17. The protective shell 18 is made of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant material, which can protect the internal filter screen and other components, and provide a relatively closed screening space for soybeans. A vibration motor 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective shell 18. The vibration motor 22 can generate a stable and appropriate vibration frequency when running, which can make the soybeans move fully inside the protective shell 18, facilitating the separation of impurities.
[0038] The protective shell 18 has a filter screen 19 fixedly connected inside. The mesh size of the filter screen 19 is moderate, which can accurately intercept impurities larger than soybeans, ensuring that the soybean particles passing through are relatively uniform and improving the overall quality of soybeans. The protective shell 18 also has a filter screen 20 fixedly connected inside. The mesh size of the filter screen 20 is smaller than that of soybeans, which can effectively filter out impurities smaller than soybeans, ensuring that the final soybeans have higher purity. Multiple discharge ports 21 are fixedly connected to one side of the protective shell 18. Different discharge ports 21 correspond to soybeans and different types of impurities, which facilitates the separation of soybeans and impurities for subsequent collection and processing. This makes the entire screening process efficient and orderly, ensuring the quality of soybean products.
[0039] Working principle: When the operator needs to dry the soybeans inside the storage tank 5, the cylinder 7 is activated, causing the cylinder 7 to push the sliding block 8 forward. The sliding block 8 has a cross-shaped sliding groove inside. One side of the sliding block 8 is connected to a driving rod 9, and the other side of the driving rod 9 is connected to a connecting rod 10. The outer side of the connecting rod 10 is connected to a rotating block 11, and the other side of the cross groove is connected to a driving rod 12. The outer side of the driving rod 12 is connected to a connecting column 13, and the connecting column 13 is connected to a rotating block 14. In this way, the position of the driving rod 12 and the driving rod 9 can be controlled by the sliding block 8. Thus, the control of the sliding block 8 by the cylinder 7 can achieve the effect of quantitative feeding of soybeans.
[0040] After the soybeans are discharged from the storage tank 5, they enter the drum 3 through the feed inlet 4. The drum 3 can then be started to dry the soybeans inside. After drying, the drum 3 can be controlled to rotate in the reverse direction, so that the soybeans follow the internal texture and are discharged. After the soybeans are discharged, they enter the protective shell 18. At this time, the vibration motor 22 can be started to prevent the soybeans from accumulating inside. The protective shell 18 is equipped with a first filter screen 19 and a second filter screen 20. The first filter screen 19 allows the soybeans to fall to the next layer, while the second filter screen 20 can filter out impurities smaller than soybeans. The first filter screen 19 can filter out impurities larger than soybeans, so that the soybeans and impurities are discharged from different discharge ports 21.
[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
