Detailed Implementation
[0021] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments. The described embodiments are merely some, not all, of these embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0022] Example 1
[0023] like Figure 1-4 The present invention provides a mobile grain moistening machine, comprising a movable frame 1 and a grain moistening hopper 2 mounted on the frame 1. The lower end of the frame 1 is provided with multiple moving wheels and adjustable support legs 14, with the adjustable support legs 14 positioned outside the moving wheels. When the mobile grain moistening machine needs to be moved for loading, the adjustable support legs 14 are adjusted to separate them from the ground, and the machine is pushed to the loading point for loading, stirring, and moistening. During the unloading process in the next process, the present invention can continuously moisten the material in the grain moistening hopper 2, improving its moistening effect. After reaching the designated position in the next process, the adjustable support legs 14 are adjusted to contact the ground, limiting the movement of the moving wheels and preventing the grain moistening machine from shifting due to external forces during unloading. The frame 1 is also provided with an operation controller for controlling the operation of the turning machine 4, the unloading machine 7, and the water pump 12. The operation controller sets the operating parameters of the turning machine 4, the unloading machine 7, and the water pump 12, enabling the grain moistening machine to meet the grain moistening production needs.
[0024] The frame 1 is equipped with a tipping component, a discharge component, and a water supply component. The grain moistening hopper 2 is connected to the frame 1 via a tipping bearing seat 3. The tipping component includes a tipping machine 4, a rotating shaft 5, and a tipping element. One end of the rotating shaft 5 is connected to the output end of the tipping machine 4, and the other end of the rotating shaft 5 passes laterally through the grain moistening hopper 2 and is connected to the tipping bearing seat 3. The tipping bearing seat 3 is located on the frame 1 and is positioned at the middle of both ends of the grain moistening hopper 2. The discharge component includes a discharge machine 7, a drive shaft 8, and a drive gear sleeved on the drive shaft 8. 9. The drive shaft 8 is connected to the frame 1 through the unloading bearing seat 10 and is located on one side of the frame 1. The grain hopper 2 is provided with a guide rail 11 that meshes with the drive gear 9. The guide rail 11 is located on the lower outer edge wall of both ends of the grain hopper 2 and is arranged in a "U" shape on the grain hopper 2. When unloading, the unloading machine 7 drives the drive gear 9 to run on the guide rail 11, thereby causing the grain hopper 2 to tilt downwards. Then, in conjunction with the tipping component, the material in the grain hopper 2 is discharged from the grain hopper 2. The water supply component includes a water pump 12 and a spray pipe 13. The spray pipe 13 is connected to the outlet of the water pump 12 through a pipeline with a control regulating valve. The spray pipe 13 extends horizontally through the upper end of the grain moistening hopper 2 and is located above the side where the drive shaft 8 is located. Multiple nozzles are evenly spaced on the spray pipe 13, and the nozzles are arranged facing the rotating shaft 5. This application provides the hot water required for the grain moistening hopper 2 during the grain moistening process through the arrangement of the water pump 12, the spray pipe 13 and the pipeline with the control regulating valve, so that it can realize the grain moistening while adding water and stirring, thereby improving the grain moistening processing efficiency.
[0025] This embodiment can improve the flexibility of the grain moistening machine during the grain moistening process. By combining the material turning component with the unloading component and the water supply component, it can realize the grain moistening function of the existing grain moistening machine while also enabling mobile grain moistening. This can significantly improve the grain moistening efficiency of the grain moistening machine of this application and increase the controllability of grain moistening quality.
[0026] Example 2
[0027] Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment aims to improve the quality of grain soaking, such as... Figure 4The material-turning component described in this application consists of a stirring rod 6 and a stirring blade 16. The stirring rod 6 is evenly spaced on the rotating shaft 5, and the stirring blade 16 is spiral-shaped and connected to the end of the stirring rod 6. The stirring rod 6 passes through the rotating shaft 5 to form a long rod portion 61 and a short rod portion 62, which are staggered on the rotating shaft 5. The ends of the long rod portion 61 and the short rod portion 62 are respectively connected to the stirring blade 16. A support rod 17 for stirring the corners of the grain moistening hopper 2 is provided on the long rod portion 61 at the end of the rotating shaft, and the support rod 17 is arranged towards the corners at both ends of the grain moistening hopper 2. By setting the material-turning component in this application, the contact area between the material-turning component and the material is increased, and the quality of material turning in the grain moistening hopper 2 is improved, so that the material can fully contact the water and absorb water evenly, thereby improving the quality of grain moistening in the grain moistening hopper 2.
[0028] Example 3
[0029] Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment aims to improve the prevention of material splashing during the turning process, such as... Figure 1-3 The upper end of the grain hopper 2 described in this application is provided with an outwardly inclined rim 15, and the height of the rim 15 on the grain hopper 2 is higher than the height of the nozzle 13 on the grain hopper 2. By setting the rim 15 of the grain hopper 2 into a wide-mouth shape, on the one hand, it can prevent material from splashing during the turning process, and on the other hand, it can play a role in guiding and buffering the material during the moving unloading process.
[0030] Example 4
[0031] Based on the above embodiments, in order to improve the unloading quality of the grain moistening machine, this embodiment provides a lifting frame (not shown in the figure) on the frame to facilitate unloading of the grain moistening hopper. After the grain moistening machine is moved to the designated position, a crane is used to lift the entire grain moistening machine through the lifting frame. Then, the unloading machine 7 drives the drive gear 9 to run on the guide rail 11, thereby causing the grain moistening hopper 2 to tilt downwards. Combined with the tipping component, the material in the grain moistening hopper 2 is discharged from the grain moistening hopper 2, thereby increasing the unloading height of the grain moistening hopper 2 in the vertical direction, avoiding the accumulation of unloaded material in the grain moistening hopper 2 that affects the movement of the grain moistening machine, and improving its practical performance.
[0032] Before moistening the grain, this application first checks whether the equipment is operating normally. Then, it sets the operating parameters of the turning machine 4, the unloading machine 7, and the water pump 12 through the operation controller. Then, the grain moistening machine is pushed to the material unloading point. The turning machine 4 is started first, and then the material is injected into the grain moistening hopper 2 at a uniform speed. Water is added while injecting the material to moisten the surface of the material. After injecting a certain amount according to the grain moistening capacity of the grain moistening hopper 2, the material unloading is stopped, and hot water is injected into the grain moistening hopper 2 in multiple times so that the material in the grain moistening hopper 2 can fully absorb water during the turning process, thereby improving the quality of grain moistening. Next, the grain moistening machine is transferred to the designated position of the next process. The material in the grain moistening hopper 2 is unloaded through the unloading component combined with the turning component. This effectively solves the problems of traditional manual grain moistening, cumbersome operation, poor flexibility, narrow applicability, and incomplete grain moistening caused by existing equipment.
