[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage device technology, specifically a seed storage device with a drying function. Background Technology

[0002] The storage process from seed harvest to sowing requires preventing heat generation, mold, and insect infestation, maintaining seed viability, purity, and cleanliness to provide qualified sowing materials for agricultural production. Harvested agricultural seeds need to be stored promptly to facilitate sowing in the appropriate season or as a seed source. Seed storage devices primarily consider how to maintain the seed's growth potential under suitable environmental conditions. Seeds undergo different physiological changes under different storage conditions, including changes in moisture, temperature, humidity, and gas composition. These factors directly affect their long-term survival and germination ability.

[0003] In the process of realizing this utility model, the inventors discovered the following problems with the existing technology: 1. Common seed storage devices may not have the corresponding drying function, which leads to excessively high humidity in the seed storage environment. The seeds are prone to absorbing moisture, causing their internal moisture content to exceed the safe level, thus causing mold or rot; 2. The unloading process of common seed storage devices is relatively complicated, and the flow rate may not be adjusted according to the actual situation, resulting in reduced unloading efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0021] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a seed storage device with a drying function, including a storage tank 1, with support legs 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage tank 1, a stirring assembly 3 vertically installed inside the storage tank 1, a feeding hopper 4 installed on one side of the top of the storage tank 1, a cover plate 5 hinged to the top of the feeding hopper 4, an air outlet pipe 6 installed on the other side of the top of the storage tank 1, a valve 7 installed inside the air outlet pipe 6, a heat insulation layer 8 installed inside the storage tank 1, an electric heating tube 9 installed between the inner wall of the storage tank 1 and the heat insulation layer 8, and an adjustment assembly 10 installed at the bottom of the storage tank 1.

[0023] The stirring assembly 3 includes a bracket 301 mounted on the top of the storage tank 1. A motor 302 is mounted on the top of the bracket 301. The output shaft of the motor 302 passes vertically through the inner side of the main gear 303 and is connected to the main shaft 304. A main stirring rod 305 is uniformly fixedly connected to the outside of the main shaft 304. A secondary gear 306 meshes with the outer sides of the main gear 303. A secondary shaft 307 is mounted on one end of the secondary gear 306. A secondary stirring rod 308 is uniformly fixedly connected to the outside of the secondary shaft 307.

[0024] The adjusting assembly 10 includes fixed blocks 1001 fixedly connected to both ends of the bottom of the storage tank 1. A worm gear 1002 is horizontally installed between the fixed blocks 1001. A handle 1003 is fixedly connected to one end of the worm gear 1002. A worm wheel 1004 is engaged on the outer side of the worm gear 1002. A connecting rod 1005 is installed at one end of the worm wheel 1004. One end of the connecting rod 1005 is vertically inserted through the bottom of the storage tank 1 and connected to the turntable 1006.

[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a humidity sensor is installed on the inner side of the insulation layer 8, and the humidity sensor is electrically connected to the electric heating tube 9. Through this design, when the humidity inside the storage tank 1 is greater than the predetermined value of the humidity sensor, the electric heating tube 9 will be activated to dry the seeds inside the storage tank 1, effectively preventing the seeds from becoming moldy or rotting due to excessive humidity.

[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the motor 302, main gear 303, and main shaft 304 form a rotating structure, and the main gear 303 and auxiliary gear 306 form a meshing transmission structure. Through this design, the output shaft of the motor 302 can drive the main gear 303 and main shaft 304 to rotate, thereby causing the auxiliary gears 306 on both sides to rotate. This causes the main shaft 304 and auxiliary shaft 307 to rotate in opposite directions, which in turn causes the main stirring rod 305 and auxiliary stirring rod 308 to rotate in opposite directions, thereby increasing the stirring efficiency, resulting in better seed position movement and better drying effect.

[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the main stirring rod 305 and the auxiliary stirring rod 308 are made of rubber. This design allows the main stirring rod 305 and the auxiliary stirring rod 308 to properly protect the integrity of the seeds and reduce damage and breakage when they are stirring in opposite directions.

[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the handle 1003 and the worm gear 1002 form a rotating structure, and the worm gear 1002 and the worm wheel 1004 form a meshing transmission structure. A discharge port is provided on one side of the top of the turntable 1006. Through this design, the handle 1003 can drive the worm gear 1002 to rotate, which in turn drives the worm wheel 1004 to rotate the turntable 1006, thereby driving the discharge port to rotate. When the discharge port rotates to the corresponding position, the corresponding discharge work can be carried out. The whole process is relatively easy.

[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a discharge pipe is installed on one side of the bottom of the storage tank 1. With this design, the discharge port on the top side of the turntable 1006 can be flush with the discharge pipe to carry out the corresponding discharge work. The flow rate during discharge can be adjusted by the opening and closing of the discharge port and the discharge pipe. The whole process is relatively easy, reducing labor and saving time costs.

[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, a sealing ring is installed between the feed hopper 4 and the cover plate 5, and the connecting rod 1005 passes vertically through the bottom of the storage tank 1 through a sealing bearing. This design allows for sealing after the feeding process is completed, and the sealing bearing maintains the sealing effect between the connecting rod 1005 and the storage tank 1, thereby effectively increasing the drying effect and storage quality.

[0031] The method of use and advantages of this utility model: This seed storage device with drying function operates as follows:

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, seeds are first poured into the insulation layer 8 of the storage tank 1 through the feed hopper 4, and the cover 5 is closed. When the internal humidity exceeds the predetermined value of the humidity sensor, the electric heating tube 9 will start, thereby drying the seeds inside. During the drying process, the motor 302 can be turned on. The output shaft of the motor 302 can drive the main gear 303 and the main shaft 304 to rotate, thereby causing the auxiliary gears 306 on both sides to rotate. This causes the main shaft 304 and the auxiliary shaft 307 to rotate in opposite directions, thereby causing the main stirring rod 305 and the auxiliary stirring rod 308 to rotate in opposite directions, thus drying the seeds. The seeds are stirred in opposite directions to increase drying efficiency, and the generated moisture can be discharged through the vent pipe 6. After discharge, the valve 7 can be closed to maintain internal sealing efficiency. When unloading is required, the handle 1003 can be rotated, which drives the worm gear 1002 to rotate, thereby causing the worm wheel 1004 to drive the turntable 1006 to rotate, which in turn drives the unloading port to rotate. When the unloading port is aligned with the unloading pipe, the unloading operation can be carried out. The flow rate during unloading can be adjusted by the opening and closing of the unloading port and the unloading pipe, thus achieving the effect of flow rate regulation.

[0033] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
