Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0033] Reference Figure 1-4 A corn kernel drying device includes a drying chamber 1, in which drying components are installed to stably operate automated components, facilitating automatic drying operations. A power mechanism is installed on one side of the lower end of the drying chamber 1. The power mechanism includes a power shaft 23, an eccentric wheel 20, and a linkage shaft 15. The power mechanism includes a motor assembly 19 installed at the rear end of the drying chamber 1. The output shaft of the motor assembly 19 is fixedly connected to the power shaft 23.

The linkage shaft 15 drives the fan blade 16 to rotate, controlling the gas inside the drying chamber 1 to move towards the extraction pipe 6 and be discharged through the extraction pipe 6, thus discharging the dried water vapor and improving the drying effect.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , 4The power shaft 23 is equipped with a discharge mechanism, which is installed through the lower end of the drying chamber 1. The discharge mechanism includes a discharge port 9 located on one side of the lower end of the drying chamber 1. A conveyor belt assembly 8 is installed through the discharge port 9. The power shaft 23 passes through the drying chamber 1 and extends into the drying chamber 1. The power shaft 23 is connected to the conveyor belt assembly 8. The power shaft 23 can drive the conveyor belt assembly 8 to rotate so that the dried corn kernels are output in a directional manner for centralized collection.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 , 2 A drying assembly 7 is installed on one side of the bottom inside the drying chamber 1. The drying chamber 1 is equipped with a vibrating screen mechanism, which has multiple screen plates 4. The vibrating screen mechanism includes multiple partition plates 3 installed inside the drying chamber 1. The partition plates 3 are fixed at equal intervals on opposite side walls inside the drying chamber 1.

The multiple screen plates 4 are rotatably connected to the lower end of the multiple partition plates 3. The partition plates 3 allow corn kernels to quickly enter the screen plates 4, and the vibration of the screen plates 4 allows the corn kernels to fall stably.

A feed hopper 2 is provided through one side of the upper end of the drying chamber 1 to facilitate the falling of corn. The reciprocating mechanism is connected to the eccentric wheel 20.

A vertical rod 11 is fixed to the lower end of the resistance spring 10. The vertical rod 11 is slidably installed at the rear end of the drying chamber 1.

The vertical rod 11 can drive the horizontal shaft 12 to rise and fall, so as to drive the screen plate 4 to swing back and forth through the swing rod 14. At the same time, the screen 13 can effectively block the openings 5 ​​to prevent corn kernels from falling.

[0039] In this utility model, corn kernels can enter the drying chamber 1 through the feed hopper 2. The drying component 7 can increase the temperature inside the drying chamber 1. The temperature is higher the closer to the drying component 7, which can effectively dry the corn kernels. The drying effect is better the closer to the drying component 7. The motor component 19 can drive the power shaft 23 to rotate. When the power shaft 23 rotates, it can be driven by the second linkage belt component 22 and the first linkage belt component 18.

[0040] The eccentric wheel 20 can push the vertical rod 11 so that the horizontal shaft 12 vibrates the screen plate 4 under the action of the swing rod 14, which facilitates the corn kernels to fall and gradually approach the drying component 7 for effective drying. At the same time, after falling onto the conveyor belt component 8, they can be output in a directional manner, which facilitates the centralized collection of the dried corn kernels.
