Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of corn processing, specifically a dehydration device. Background Technology
[0002] Corn is a common grain and an important food resource. Corn processing usually refers to the processing of corn kernels, such as grinding them into corn flour.
[0003] Because corn kernels contain moisture, which can affect the processing, corn should be dehydrated before processing. The traditional method is sun-drying, which involves placing the corn in the sun to remove moisture. However, sun-drying in the field is inefficient and can cause unnecessary losses in the event of strong winds and heavy rain. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model discloses a dehydration device. The technical solution adopted includes a base, a left support platform, a right placement platform, a right movable mounting plate, a hot air blower, a right wall through hole, a drying and dehydration chamber, a rotary mounting structure, a spiral sealing plug, a top cover, a top cover connecting frame, a left cone, a left discharge channel, a rotary drive, a right cone, a right feeding channel, a left fixed rod, a right fixed rod, a mounting shaft, a stirring shaft, a central cylinder, a through hole, and a rotary connection structure. The left support platform is fixed on the left side of the base, and the right placement platform is fixed on the right side. The right movable mounting plate is movably placed on the right side of the base. A hot air blower is fixedly installed on the platform. The output pipe of the hot air blower extends into the right wall through a through hole on the right side of the drying and dehydration chamber fixed on the base. The position of the hot air blower can be adjusted by moving the right movable mounting plate, allowing the output pipe to extend into or move out of the drying and dehydration chamber. A rotating mounting structure is installed at the left opening of the drying and dehydration chamber, through which the left cone is installed. The center of the left side of the left cone is the left discharge channel, sealed by a spiral sealing plug. The top cover is fixedly connected to the rotating mounting structure via a top cover connecting bracket. The right side of the right cone is the right feeding channel, which... The right wall has corresponding through holes. The bottom of the right feeding channel is supported by a bracket fixed in the drying and dehydration chamber. The left and right cones are connected by a rotating structure, with a central cylinder rotatably mounted between them. This means that the left, right, and central cones can all rotate relative to each other. Several through holes, smaller than the size of a corn kernel, are distributed on the central cylinder. Left and right fixing rods are fixed inside the left and right cones, respectively. A mounting shaft is fixed at the center between the right and left fixing rods, and a stirring shaft made of hard rubber is mounted on the mounting shaft. When the cone rotates under the action of the rotation drive, the mounting shaft also rotates, thereby driving the stirring shaft to stir the internal material. After feeding and drying are completed, the stepper motor is started to rotate the left cone, right cone and middle cylinder to a vertical position to facilitate feeding and discharging. During dehydration, it is kept in a horizontal position and supplemented with stirring and hot air blowing to improve the uniformity of dehydration. When processing corn kernels for dehydration, in order to prevent corn kernels from leaking out from the right feeding channel in the horizontal position, the material is added to half of the middle cylinder to avoid the corn kernels being thrown out from the right feeding channel during the drying process.
[0005] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the rotary mounting structure includes a turntable, a stepper motor, a rotating mounting plate, and an annular mounting groove. Turntables are rotatably mounted on the front and rear inner walls of the left opening of the drying and dehydration chamber. The front turntable is driven by the stepper motor. A rotating mounting plate is fixedly connected between the turntables. An annular mounting groove is provided on the outer wall of the left discharge channel. The middle position of the rotating mounting plate is annular, and this part is fastened to the annular mounting groove. When the stepper motor starts and drives the turntable and the rotating mounting plate to rotate, the left cone can be rotated to a vertical position.
[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the rotation drive includes a rotation motor, an outer wall gear ring, a drive shaft, a side drive gear, a middle gear ring, and a middle drive gear. Rotation motors are installed on the left side of both top cover connecting frames, and drive shafts are rotatably installed on the right side. The drive shafts are driven by the rotation motors. Two side drive gears are fixed at both ends of the rear drive shaft, and a middle gear ring is fixed in the middle of the front drive shaft. Outer wall gear rings are integrally formed on the outer walls of both the left and right cones, and a middle gear ring is integrally formed on the outer wall of the middle cylinder. The outer wall gear rings on the left and right cones mesh with the left and right side drive gears, respectively, and the middle gear ring meshes with the middle drive gear. Under the rotation of the rotation motor, the meshing action ultimately drives the outer wall gear ring and the middle gear ring to rotate, thereby driving the left, right, and middle cones to rotate. Simultaneously, to improve uniformity and efficiency, the rotation directions of the middle drive gear and the side drive gear can be set to be opposite through the rotation motor.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the rotating connection structure is provided with annular grooves with a T-shaped cross-section on the right side of the left cone and the left side of the right cone, and annular protrusions with a T-shaped cross-section are integrally formed on the left and right sides of the middle cylinder, and the annular protrusions with a T-shaped cross-section are placed in the annular grooves with a T-shaped cross-section.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the stepper motor and the hot air blower are powered by an external power source, while the rotating motor is powered by a storage battery.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the rotating installation structure set in the drying and dehydration chamber can rotate the left cone, right cone and middle cylinder to a vertical position for easy feeding and discharging, and rotate to a horizontal position for easy dehydration of materials. The rotation drive can drive the left cone, right cone, middle cylinder, installation shaft and stirring shaft to rotate, making the drying more uniform and efficient when hot air is blown into the middle cylinder by the hot air blower.
