[0002] Corn seed processing, drying, and conveying mechanisms typically integrate drying, conveying, and waste gas treatment functions, aiming to efficiently and safely complete the corn seed processing. They are usually equipped with heating elements and ventilation systems for heating and drying the corn seeds. A motor and reducer drive the conveyor belt, transporting the corn seeds from the inlet into the drying chamber. After drying, the conveyor belt continues to operate, transporting the seeds out of the drying chamber. This type of corn seed processing, drying, and conveying mechanism has broad application prospects in agricultural production. With continuous technological development, this mechanism will be continuously optimized and improved to increase drying efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and minimize environmental impact.

[0003] In the existing technology, when drying corn seeds, the corn seeds are simply piled up inside the drying device for drying. The corn seeds are not allowed to be tumbled or turned over in the drying device. As a result, the hot air can only penetrate from the surface, which limits the heating and moisture evaporation of the inner corn seeds. Meanwhile, the surface seeds may be over-dried or even scorched, resulting in poor drying uniformity of the equipment.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a corn seed processing, drying and conveying mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies and solve the problem that current corn seed drying methods simply pile corn seeds inside the drying device without allowing them to tumble or turn over, resulting in hot air only penetrating the surface, the heating and moisture evaporation of the inner corn seeds are limited, while the surface seeds may be over-dried or even scorched, leading to poor drying uniformity.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. The corn seed processing, drying, and conveying mechanism of this utility model includes a support plate with a bottom plate at the bottom. The support plate is supported by a first housing fixed to one side of the support plate by a first ring. The drying box is protected by a pair of connecting pipes. The drying box is driven by a power component to rotate inside the first housing, causing the corn kernels inside to tumble and preventing uneven heating due to accumulation. The square plate can lift some corn kernels and then let them fall back down when the drying box tumbles, increasing the tumbling effect of the corn kernels and thus increasing the drying effect of the drying box.

When the drying chamber is rotated by the power component, the corn seeds will fall into the arc-shaped plate through the movement of the square plate and be carried out of the drying chamber by the auger. The operator only needs to prepare a collection box to collect the corn. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a corn seed processing, drying, and conveying mechanism includes a support plate 1; a bottom plate 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of each pair of support plates 1; a first ring 3 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of each pair of support plates 1; a first housing 4 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the first ring 3; a drying chamber 5 is provided inside the first housing 4; a connecting pipe 6 is provided on the outer side of each pair of support plates 1, and one end of each connecting pipe 6 passes through the support plate 1 and is rotatably connected inside the support plate 1; one end of each pair of connecting pipes 6 is fixedly connected to both sides of the drying chamber 5; one end of each pair of connecting pipes 6 is respectively provided with an inlet 7 and an outlet 8; a set of square plates 9 is fixedly connected inside the drying chamber 5; the drying chamber... The drying chamber 5 is equipped with a power component; the power component is used to drive the drying chamber 5. During operation, a support plate 1 is set, and a bottom plate 2 is set at the bottom end of the support plate 1 to support the support plate 1. The first housing 4, which is fixed to the opposite side of a pair of support plates 1 by a first ring 3, can protect the drying chamber 5. The drying chamber 5, which is set by a pair of connecting pipes 6, can rotate inside the first housing 4 driven by the power component, so that the corn kernels inside the drying chamber 5 are turned over, so that the corn will not be piled up and cause uneven heating. The square plate 9 can lift some corn kernels and then fall down when the drying chamber 5 is turned over, increasing the turning effect of the corn kernels, thereby increasing the drying effect of the drying chamber 5.

[0024] The power component includes a motor 10; the motor 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the support plate 1; the output end of the motor 10 is provided with a rotating rod 11; one end of the rotating rod 11 passes through the support plate 1; a gear 12 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 11; a toothed ring 13 is fixedly connected to the outer circular wall of the connecting pipe 6; the gear 12 and the toothed ring 13 mesh with each other. During operation, by fixing the toothed ring 13 to the outer circular wall of the connecting pipe 6 and fixing an L-shaped plate 15 to one side of the support plate 1, the L-shaped plate 15 can support the rotating rod 11. The motor 10 drives the rotating rod 11, and when the gear 12 rotates, it meshes with the toothed ring 13, causing the toothed ring 13 to drive the connecting pipe 6 to rotate, thereby driving the drying box 5 to rotate, thus accelerating the drying effect of the drying box 5 on the corn kernels.

[0025] The drying chamber 5 is equipped with an arc-shaped plate 14 inside; both ends of the arc-shaped plate 14 extend to the outside of the connecting pipe 6; an L-shaped plate 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the support plate 1; the bottom end of one side of the arc-shaped plate 14 is fixedly connected to the top end of the L-shaped plate 15; an arc-shaped groove 16 is opened in the arc-shaped plate 14; an auger 17 is rotatably connected in the arc-shaped groove 16; a through groove 18 is opened in the arc-shaped groove 16; a transmission component is provided on one side of the arc-shaped plate 14; the transmission component is used to drive the auger 17 to rotate. During operation, by setting the arc-shaped plate 14 in the drying chamber 5 and extending the arc-shaped plate 14 out of the drying chamber 5 at both ends, the operator places the undried corn kernels in the arc-shaped groove 16, and then the transmission component drives the auger 17 to transport the corn kernels forward. When passing through the through groove 18 opened in the arc-shaped groove 16, the corn kernels will fall into the drying chamber 5 and be pre-tumbled for drying.

[0026] The transmission component includes a first sprocket 19; the first sprocket 19 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 11; a rotating shaft 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the arc plate 14; a second sprocket 21 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 20; the first sprocket 19 and the second sprocket 21 are connected by a chain 22; one end of the rotating shaft 20 extends into the arc groove 16; one end of the auger 17 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 20. During operation, by fixing the first sprocket 19 to the rotating rod 11, when the worker turns on the motor 10, the first sprocket 19 will drive the second sprocket 21 to rotate the rotating shaft 20, thereby driving the auger 17 to rotate and convey the corn kernels placed in the arc groove 16 by the worker.

[0027] A sealing plate 24 is slidably connected to the top of the arc-shaped plate 14. During operation, the sealing plate 24, which is slidably connected to the top of the arc-shaped plate 14, can be slidably connected inside the drying chamber 5. When the corn is being dried in the drying chamber 5, the sealing plate 24 seals the arc-shaped plate 14 and the arc-shaped groove 16, preventing the seeds from entering the arc-shaped groove 16. After drying is complete, the operator can pull the sealing plate 24 outward, so that the sealing plate 24 inside the drying chamber 5 no longer seals the arc-shaped plate 14 inside the drying chamber 5. When the drying chamber 5 is rotated by the power component, the corn seeds will fall into the arc-shaped plate 14 through the movement of the square plate 9, and be carried out of the drying chamber 5 by the auger 17. The operator only needs to prepare a collection box to collect the corn.

[0028] The bottom end of the base plate 2 is provided with a rubber pad. During operation, the rubber pad at the bottom end of the base plate 2 can prevent wear when the base plate 2 comes into contact with the ground.

[0029] Working principle: By setting a support plate 1 and a base plate 2 at the bottom of the support plate 1, the support plate 1 can be supported. The first shell 4, which is fixed to the opposite side of the pair of support plates 1 by the first ring 3, can protect the drying box 5. The drying box 5, which is connected by a pair of connecting pipes 6, can rotate inside the first shell 4 driven by a power component, so that the corn kernels inside the drying box 5 are turned over, so that the corn is not piled up and unevenly heated. The square plate 9 can lift some corn kernels when the drying box 5 is turned over and then fall down, increasing the turning effect of the corn kernels, thereby increasing the drying effect of the drying box 5. A toothed ring 13 is fixed to the outer wall of the connecting pipe 6, and an L-shaped plate 15 is fixed to one side of the support plate 1. The L-shaped plate 15 supports the rotating rod 11. The rotating rod 11 is driven by the motor 10, and when the gear 12 rotates, it meshes with the toothed ring 13, causing the toothed ring 13 to drive the connecting pipe 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the drying box 5 to rotate, thus accelerating the drying effect of the drying box 5 on the corn kernels. An arc-shaped plate 14 is set inside the drying box 5, and the arc-shaped plate 14 extends out of the drying box 5 at both ends. After the worker places the undried corn kernels in the arc-shaped groove 16, the transmission component drives the auger 17, causing the auger 17 to move the corn kernels towards the auger 16. The corn kernels are pre-conveyed and tumbled in the drying chamber 5 as they pass through the through-slot 18 in the arc-shaped trough 16. A first sprocket 19 is fixed to the rotating rod 11. When the operator turns on the motor 10, the first sprocket 19 drives the second sprocket 21, causing the rotating shaft 20 to rotate, which in turn drives the auger 17 to rotate, conveying the corn kernels placed in the arc-shaped trough 16. A slidingly connected sealing plate 24 is installed at the top of the arc-shaped plate 14, allowing it to slide within the drying chamber 5. The sealing plate 24 provides sealing during the drying process. The plate 14 and the arc groove 16 are sealed to prevent seeds from entering the arc groove 16. After drying, the staff can pull the sealing plate 24 outward so that the sealing plate 24 inside the drying box 5 no longer seals the arc plate 14 inside the drying box 5. When the drying box 5 is rotated by the power component, the corn seeds will fall into the arc plate 14 through the square plate 9 and be taken out of the drying box 5 by the auger 17. The staff only needs to prepare the collection box to collect the corn. By setting a rubber pad at the bottom of the bottom plate 2, the bottom plate 2 will not be worn when it comes into contact with the ground.
