Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seed processing technology, and in particular to a turning structure for processing crop seeds. Background Technology

[0002] Seeds are the reproductive organs unique to gymnosperms and angiosperms, and are any plant organs that can be directly used for sowing in agricultural production. To distinguish them from seeds in botany, they are called "agricultural seeds."

[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN221005797U, which discloses an automatic material-turning structure and a crop seed drying and processing device. The device includes: a fixed frame fixedly connected to the upper end of a base; a drying tank fixedly connected to the fixed frame; an air inlet at one end of the drying tank; and a mounting frame fixedly connected to the side wall of the base. A fan is fixedly connected to the upper end of the mounting frame, and a heating box is sealed to the fan's output end, which is sealed to the air inlet. A motor is fixedly connected to one end of the drying tank, and a rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the motor's output end through the end wall of the drying tank. Several material-turning plates are fixedly connected to the shaft. The beneficial effects are: the above solution uses a motor to drive the rotating shaft, causing the material-turning plates to rotate and turn the material inside the drying tank. The use of several staggered material-turning plates reduces turning resistance, decreases manual labor, and improves drying efficiency.

[0004] While the above method has the advantage of improving drying efficiency, it does not select unqualified seeds during the drying process, which means that additional screening steps are required in subsequent processing, resulting in higher costs.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a turning structure for crop seed processing to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the disadvantage that the existing technology does not select unqualified seeds during the drying process, which leads to the need to add a process to screen the seeds in the subsequent processing, resulting in high costs. The present invention provides a turning structure for processing crop seeds.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts a technical solution as follows: a turning structure for processing crop seeds is provided, including a cylinder and a drying device disposed on the side of the cylinder, a turning component is disposed inside the cylinder, and a collecting component is disposed on the side of the turning component;

[0008] The material turning assembly includes a bracket installed relative to the inner wall of the cylinder, a rotating rod movably connected to the middle of the bracket, and a turning component disposed on the outside of the rotating rod;

[0009] The collection assembly includes a rotating cover disposed at one end of the cylinder, a collection box disposed inside the rotating cover, and a limiting unit disposed between the collection box and the rotating cover; a fixing unit is disposed between the rotating cover and the cylinder.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: a support leg is installed at the bottom of the cylinder.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: the drying device includes a fan disposed on the side of the cylinder, a heating device disposed at the air outlet of the fan, and a conveying pipe disposed between the heating device and the cylinder.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: a driving component is provided at the end of the rotating rod;

[0013] The number of the flipping components is multiple sets, and the multiple sets of flipping components are equidistantly distributed on the outside of the rotating rod;

[0014] The flipping component includes a mounting sleeve installed on the outside of the rotating rod, one end of a connecting rod fixedly connected to the outer surface of the mounting sleeve, and a scraper installed on the other end of the connecting rod.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that: an air outlet is provided on the side wall of the rotating cover, and a filter screen is installed at the air outlet;

[0016] A rotating shaft is installed on the outer side of the rotating cover, and the rotating shaft is movably connected to the outer side of the cylinder.

[0017] The present invention is further configured such that: there are two sets of limiting units, and the two sets of limiting units are arranged opposite to each other on the top of the collection box;

[0018] The limiting unit includes a threaded rod installed on the inner wall of the rotating cover, a limiting sleeve disposed on the outside of the threaded rod, and a threaded sleeve threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded rod. The limiting sleeve is installed on the top of the collection box.

[0019] The present invention is further configured such that: there are multiple sets of the fixing units, and the multiple sets of the fixing units are arranged in a ring array on the outside of the rotating cover;

[0020] The fixing unit includes a fixing block installed on the outer edge of the cylinder, a movable groove set inside the fixing block, a positioning rod movably set inside the movable groove, a limiting ring installed on the outside of the positioning rod, and a pressing member set on the top of the limiting ring. A fixing plate is installed on the outside of the rotating cover, and the top surface of the fixing plate has a positioning hole that matches the bottom size of the positioning rod.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] 1. This utility model, through the setting of a drying device and a collection component, allows seeds that need to be dried to be put into the feed inlet. The seeds enter the inside of the cylinder, and with the operation of the fan, external air is drawn into the heating device for heating treatment. The hot air generated during treatment enters the inside of the cylinder through the conveying pipe, and with the operation of the drive component, the rotating rod is rotated, thereby driving multiple scrapers to turn the seeds inside the cylinder. When the seeds fall from the highest point inside the cylinder, the shriveled seeds will drift to one side of the rotating cover under the action of the hot air flow. The shriveled seeds are collected by the collection box, thereby picking out the unqualified seeds.

[0023] 2. This utility model, through the setting of a limiting unit and a fixing unit, allows for the processing of shriveled seeds in the collection box. When it is necessary to process the seeds, the positioning rod is pulled outward to separate its bottom end from the positioning hole, thereby releasing the limiting of the rotating cover. Pulling the rotating cover outward allows it to rotate under the action of the rotating shaft. Then, the threaded sleeve is rotated to release the limiting sleeve. Pulling the collection box outward separates the limiting sleeve from the threaded rod, thereby disassembling the collection box and facilitating the processing of the seeds inside.

[0035] The drying device 2 includes a fan 21 located on the side of the cylinder 1, a heating device 22 located at the air outlet of the fan 21, and a conveying pipe 23 located between the heating device 22 and the cylinder 1. The heating device 22 and the fan 21 are both existing technologies.

[0036] The end of the rotating rod 32 is provided with a driving component 34, preferably a servo motor;

[0037] There are multiple sets of turning parts 33, which are equidistantly distributed on the outside of the rotating rod 32. By setting multiple sets of turning parts 33, the seeds inside the cylinder 1 are turned evenly, which improves the drying efficiency.

[0038] The flipping component 33 includes a mounting sleeve 331 installed on the outside of the rotating rod 32, one end of a connecting rod 332 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the mounting sleeve 331, and a scraper 333 installed on the other end of the connecting rod 332.

[0039] The rotating cover 41 has an air outlet on its side wall, and a filter screen 411 is installed at the air outlet. The filter screen 411 can prevent unqualified seeds inside the cylinder 1 from being discharged to the outside through the air outlet.

[0040] A rotating shaft 412 is installed on the outer side of the rotating cover 41, and the rotating shaft 412 is movably connected to the outer side of the cylinder 1.

[0041] There are two sets of limiting units 43, and the two sets of limiting units 43 are arranged opposite to each other on the top of the collection box 42;
