Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of corn kernel technology, specifically a corn kernel drying device. Background Technology

[0002] Corn kernels, the seeds of corn, are the main edible part of the corn crop. Here is a detailed analysis of corn kernels: Appearance and Structure: Corn kernels are usually yellow or white, but other colors also exist, such as red and purple. Each kernel contains a hard shell (seed coat and pericarp), endosperm, and embryo. The hard shell protects the endosperm and embryo inside, while the endosperm stores a large amount of nutrients, mainly starch. The embryo, located at the base of the kernel, includes the plumule, hypocotyl, radicle, and cotyledons, and is the starting point for the growth of a new corn plant. Nutritional Value: Corn kernels are rich in carbohydrates, mainly starch, which are essential for the human body. Corn provides energy and contains a certain amount of protein, fat, dietary fiber, and vitamins and minerals, such as vitamins A, C, and E, as well as calcium, iron, and magnesium. The dietary fiber in corn kernels helps improve digestive health, lower cholesterol levels, and help control weight. Corn kernels can be eaten directly, such as as part of a salad, or used to make popcorn. They can also be processed into various foods, such as corn flour, corn oil, and corn syrup. Corn kernels are an important ingredient in many dishes, such as corn stew and corn tortillas. Drying equipment is needed when drying corn kernels.

[0003] The existing technical solutions mentioned above have the following drawbacks: When drying corn kernels, the main function of the existing drying devices is to provide a support surface so that the corn kernels can be spread out evenly to receive sunlight, thereby achieving the purpose of drying. However, these devices generally lack screening functions, that is, they cannot remove impurities or grade the corn kernels while drying. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a corn kernel drying device with the advantage of screening. This solves the problem that existing drying devices mainly provide a support surface so that the corn kernels can be evenly spread out to receive sunlight, thereby achieving the purpose of drying. However, these devices generally lack screening functions, that is, they cannot remove impurities or grade the corn kernels while drying.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a corn kernel drying device, comprising a drying board body, with movable blocks fixedly connected to both the front and back sides of the drying board body, a limiting block slidably connected to the surface of the movable block, a support leg fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting block, a support block fixedly connected to the bottom left side of the support leg, a motor fixedly connected to the top of the support block, a disc fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, a circular block fixedly connected to the top of the disc, a rotating block sleeved on the surface of the circular block, a movable block movably connected to the left side of the top of the rotating block, a positioning block movably connected to the right side of the bottom of the movable block, the bottom of the positioning block fixedly connected to the left side of the top of the drying board body, and a vibration structure provided inside the limiting block.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the vibration structure includes a transverse groove located inside the limiting block. A round rod is fixedly connected to the inner side of the inner wall of the transverse groove. A swing block is sleeved on the surface of the round rod. A first striking block is movably connected to the right side inside the swing block, and a second striking block is movably connected to the left side inside the swing block. A square block is fixedly connected to both the front and back sides of the top of the drying board body, and the square block is located at the bottom of the limiting block.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a vertical groove is provided on the inner side of the horizontal groove, and a vertical block is slidably connected inside the vertical groove. The front of the vertical block is fixedly connected to the inner side of the striking block.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, a torsion spring is fixedly connected to the surface of the round rod, and the inner side of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the inner side of the transverse groove.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, a stabilizing sleeve is fixedly connected to the surface of the motor, and the bottom of the stabilizing sleeve is fixedly connected to the top of the support block.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a guide block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drying board body, a telescopic tube is fixedly connected to the bottom of the guide block, and a collection box is fixedly connected to the bottom of the telescopic tube.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. This utility model drives a disc to rotate via the output of a starting motor. The disc then drives a circular block to rotate, which in turn causes a rotating block to rotate. The rotating block continues to transmit rotational force to a movable block. After rotating, the movable block pushes a positioning block, causing the drying board to be pushed to the right. As the drying board moves to the right, it also causes the block to move to the right synchronously. During its rightward movement, the block presses upward against the second striking block, causing it to rise. As the second striking block rises, the first striking block is also driven to rise. Through a connecting device, a swinging block swings on a circular rod. During the swinging process, the first striking block is driven downward to strike the drying plate body. This striking action helps to filter out dust and impurities from the corn kernels. These filtered impurities are guided to the telescopic tube by the guide block and finally fall into the collection box. The design of the entire device ingeniously realizes the function of automated screening, which greatly improves the efficiency and convenience of screening. This corn kernel drying device has the advantage of screening, improves the stability of the drying plate body, and avoids the common lack of screening function in devices, that is, the inability to remove impurities or grade corn kernels while drying.

[0013] 2. By setting up a vibration structure, this utility model can generate vibration on the drying board body, thereby increasing the filtration of dust and impurities by the drying board body. Attached Figure Description

A square block 126 is fixedly connected to both the front and back sides of the top of the drying board body 1. The square block 126 is located at the bottom of the limiting block 3.

[0023] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the vibration structure 12, the vibration structure 12 can generate vibration on the drying board body 1, thereby increasing the filtration of dust and impurities by the drying board body 1.

[0024] refer to Figure 5 A vertical groove 13 is provided on the inner side of the horizontal groove 121. A vertical block 14 is slidably connected inside the vertical groove 13. The front of the vertical block 14 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the striking block.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the torsion spring 15 can prevent the swing block 123 of the round rod 122 from shaking due to the elasticity of the torsion spring 15.

[0028] refer to Figure 2 A stabilizing sleeve 16 is fixedly connected to the surface of the motor 6, and the bottom of the stabilizing sleeve 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the support block 5.

The rotating block 9 continues to transmit rotational force to the movable block 10. After rotating, the movable block 10 pushes the positioning block 11, causing the drying board body 1 to be pushed to the right. As the drying board body 1 moves to the right, it simultaneously drives the block 126 to move to the right. During its rightward movement, the block 126 presses upward against the second striking block 125, causing it to rise. As the second striking block 125 rises, the first striking block 124 is also driven to rise, and the swing block 123 swings on the round rod 122 through the connecting device. During the swinging process, the swing block 123 drives the first striking block 124 to strike the drying board body 1 downward. This striking action helps to screen out the dust and impurities in the corn kernels. These screened impurities are guided to the telescopic tube 18 through the guide block 17 and finally fall into the collection box 19. The design of the whole device ingeniously realizes the function of automated screening, which greatly improves the efficiency and convenience of screening.
