Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural product processing and storage technology, specifically to an integrated equipment for drying and storing walnuts. Background Technology

[0002] Walnuts have a high moisture content after harvest, and are prone to mold and spoilage if not dried promptly. Traditional walnut drying and storage equipment are separate, which not only increases equipment costs and space requirements but also easily damages the walnuts and causes secondary contamination during transfer. Furthermore, existing drying equipment often suffers from uneven drying and low efficiency.

[0003] Utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN220288030U discloses an agricultural product drying and storage device, including a storage box. The bottom of the storage box is fixedly connected to a support leg, and the upper end of the storage box is connected to a box cover by bolts. A support plate is provided on the lower side of the inner cavity of the storage box. The support plate and the bottom of the storage box form a hot air cavity. A hot air blower is bolted to the bottom of the storage box. The air outlet of the hot air blower is connected to the hot air cavity. The support plate is evenly provided with first ventilation holes. A vertical pipe is evenly provided along the center of the storage box at the outer edge of the support plate. The bottom of the vertical pipe is provided with an opening and is located in the hot air cavity.

[0004] While this technical solution places cereal crops in a storage box, combining drying and storage, and uses a hot air blower to fill the hot air chamber, with some of the hot air rising through the first ventilation hole to contact the cereal crops on the upper side of the support plate for drying, this solution lacks real-time monitoring of the temperature and humidity within the drying box. This results in ineffective and detailed drying of the walnuts, a single drying method, and the absence of nitrogen filling in the storage box to extend the walnuts' storage time. Therefore, we propose an integrated walnut drying and storage device. Utility Model Content

[0032] The drying assembly 2 includes a drying drum 21. Several heating rods 22 are installed inside the lower circumferential side wall of the drying drum 21. A hollow rotating roller 23 is rotatably connected inside the drying drum 21. Several air jet holes 231 are regularly opened on the circumferential side wall of the rotating roller 23. Several stirring rods 24 are welded and fixed on the side wall of the rotating roller 23. An exhaust fan 25 is installed on one side wall of the drying drum 21. A humidity sensor 26 and a temperature sensor 27 are installed inside the drying drum 21.

[0033] In this embodiment, the top of the storage box 1 is welded and fixed to both ends of the mounting groove 11 with a mounting frame 12 for installing the drying component 2. The top of the storage box 1 is provided with an inlet 13 at the center of the bottom surface of the mounting groove 11, and the bottom of one side wall of the storage box 1 is provided with an outlet 14. The welding and fixing makes the mounting frame 12 more secure. The inlet 13 is used for the dried walnuts to fall into the storage box 1, and the outlet 14 is used to take out the stored walnuts.

[0034] Furthermore, a feed inlet 211 is provided on the circumferential side wall of the drying drum 21, and a handle 212 is welded and fixed at the edge of one side wall of the drying drum 21. The feed inlet 211 is used to put the dried walnuts into the drying drum 21, and the handle 212 is used to rotate the drying drum 21 after the walnuts are dried so that the feed inlet 211 corresponds to the position of the inlet 13, so that the dried walnuts fall into the storage box 1.

[0035] Secondly, one end of the rotating roller 23 extends out of the drying roller box 21 and is connected to the output shaft of the motor 8 installed on the side wall of the storage box 1 via the belt 7. The other end of the rotating roller 23, away from the belt 7, extends out of the drying roller box 21 and is rotatably connected to the rotating block 4. The motor 8 drives the rotating roller 23 to rotate via the belt 7, turning the walnuts in the drying roller box 21.

[0036] Furthermore, a groove 15 is provided on one side wall of the storage box 1, and a display screen 5 and a control panel 6 are installed in the groove 15; the groove 15 is used to limit the position of the display screen 5 and the control panel 6.

[0037] Secondly, humidity sensor 26 and temperature sensor 27 are both connected to display screen 5 via signal lines. Heating rod 22, exhaust fan 25, hot air blower 3, motor 8 and nitrogen filling machine 9 are all connected to control panel 6 via signal lines.

[0039] Working Principle: When using this integrated walnut drying and storage equipment, the user first opens the feed inlet 211, puts the walnuts to be dried into the drying drum 21, closes the sealing door, drives the hot air blower 3 to let hot air enter the rotating roller 23 through the pipe, and sprays it out through the jet hole 231. Then, the heating rod 22 is driven to heat it. Next, the motor 8 is driven to drive the rotating roller 23 to rotate through the belt 7. The stirring rod 24 stirs the walnuts. The humidity sensor 26 and temperature sensor 27 transmit the humidity and temperature in the drying drum 21 to the display screen 5, and then adjust it through the exhaust fan 25. After drying, the drying drum 21 is rotated by the handle 212 so that the feed inlet 211 corresponds to the inlet 13. The sealing door on the inlet 13 and the feed inlet 211 is opened to let the dried walnuts fall into the storage box 1. The sealing door of the inlet 13 is closed. Finally, the nitrogen filling machine 9 is started to fill the storage box 1 with nitrogen.
