[0027] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0028] This embodiment relates to a drying device for the production of jujube seeds. In terms of overall structure, as follows... Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, it includes a base 1, a drying cylinder 2, a leveling unloading device 3, an auxiliary unloading device 4, and a lifting mechanism 5.

[0029] The drying cylinder 2 is fixedly installed at the top center of the base 1. The material leveling and unloading device 3 is rotatably installed on the drying cylinder 2. The material leveling and unloading device 3 includes a motor 301 installed at the top of the drying cylinder 2 and a rotating rod 302 fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 301. Multiple material leveling plates 303 are fixedly installed on the rotating rod 302. A limit plate 304 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating rod 302. The auxiliary unloading device 4 is installed on the inner side wall of the drying cylinder 2. The lifting mechanism 5 is fixedly installed at the top of the drying cylinder 2.

[0030] It is worth mentioning that the drying cylinder 2 is fixedly installed at the top center of the base 1, and its top has a dehumidification hole for venting moisture. The leveling and unloading device 3 is installed on the drying cylinder 2, which can not only evenly spread the jujube kernels inside the drying cylinder 2, but also assist in the unloading of the dried jujube kernels inside the drying cylinder 2, thereby improving the uniformity of drying of the jujube kernels inside the drying cylinder 2 and improving the unloading efficiency of the drying cylinder 2. The motor 301 is installed at the top of the drying cylinder 2 to provide power to the rotating rod 302. Figure 1 and Figure 6 The diagram shows the starting and ending positions of the flat plate 303. The flat plate 303 is fixedly installed on the rotating rod 302 at equal intervals and rotates together with the rotating rod 302. The limiting plate 304 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating rod 302 to assist the rotating rod 302 in moving smoothly up and down and to limit the moving distance of the rotating rod 302. The auxiliary unloading device 4 is longitudinally slidably installed on the inner wall of the drying cylinder 2 to assist the flattening of the jujube kernels in the drying cylinder 2 and to assist the flat unloading device 3 in the flattening and unloading of the jujube kernels in the drying cylinder 2. The lifting mechanism 5 is installed on the top of the drying cylinder 2 to drive the flat unloading device 3 and the auxiliary unloading device 4 to move up or down in the drying cylinder 2, respectively.

[0031] As a preferred option, such as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the flat material unloading device 3 also includes a support plate 305 disposed on the top of the drying cylinder 2, and a first slide rod 306 slidably disposed at the corner of the support plate 305. A first compression spring 307 is disposed at the bottom of the outer ring of the first slide rod 306, and the motor 301 is fixedly disposed on the support plate 305.

[0032] It should be noted that the support plate 305 is driven and installed on the top of the drying cylinder 2 for the fixed installation of the motor 301. The first slide rod 306 is slidably installed at the corner of the support plate 305 so that the support plate 305 can move up and down smoothly. The top and bottom of the first compression spring 307 are fixedly installed on the drying cylinder 2 and the support plate 305 respectively, so that the support plate 305 moves downward when it is not subjected to external force.

[0033] As a preferred option, it remains as follows Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the auxiliary unloading device 4 includes a drive rod 401 disposed inside the drying cylinder 2 and a plurality of rotating shafts 402 rotatably disposed on the drive rod 401. A gear 403 is fixedly disposed at one end of the rotating shaft 402, and a baffle 404 is fixedly disposed at the other end of the rotating shaft 402. A stop block 405 is fixedly disposed through the top of the drive rod 401 and passes through the top of the drying cylinder 2. Second slide rods 406 are slidably disposed at both ends of the stop block 405. A second compression spring 407 is disposed at the bottom of the outer ring of the second slide rod 406. A plurality of sliders 408 are fixedly disposed on the drive rod 401.

[0034] Specifically, the drive rod 401 is longitudinally slidably installed on the inner wall of the drying cylinder 2, and its top extends through the top of the drying cylinder 2. Under the action of external force, the drive rod 401 moves up and down. There are multiple rotating shafts 402, which are rotatably installed on the drive rod 401 respectively. The gear 403 is fixedly installed on one end of the rotating shaft 402 near the inner wall of the drying cylinder 2 to drive the rotation of the rotating shaft 402. The stop block 405 is fixedly installed on the top of the drive rod 401. The second slide rod 406 is slidably installed on both ends of the baffle 404 so that the stop block 405 can move up and down smoothly. The top and bottom of the second compression spring 407 are fixedly installed on the drying cylinder 2 and the stop block 405 respectively, so that the stop block 405 moves downward when it is not subjected to external force.

[0035] As a preferred option, it remains as follows Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, multiple strip-shaped grooves 201 are formed in the longitudinal direction on the inner side of the drying cylinder 2. A rack 202 is fixedly arranged in the longitudinal direction within the multiple strip-shaped grooves 201. Multiple strip-shaped limiting grooves 203 are formed on the top of the multiple strip-shaped grooves 201 on the inner side of the drying cylinder 2. Multiple material trays 204 are fixedly arranged at equal intervals inside the drying cylinder 2. A discharge plate 205 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the drying cylinder 2. An air inlet 2051 is formed on the discharge plate 205. A support frame 206 is fixedly arranged on the top of the discharge plate 205 inside the drying cylinder 2. A columnar limiting groove 2061 is formed at the center of the support frame 206. A strip-shaped through groove 2041 is formed on the material tray 204. Multiple feed inlets 207 are fixedly arranged in the longitudinal direction on the outer side of the drying cylinder 2. A discharge outlet 208 is fixedly arranged on one side of the bottom of the drying cylinder 2. Gear 403 meshes with rack 202, baffle 404 is set on strip groove 2041, limiting plate 304 is slidably set in column limiting groove 2061, flat plate 303 is rotatably set on top of material tray 204, and slider 407 is slidably set on strip limiting groove 203.

[0036] Specifically, the number of material trays 204 and strip grooves 201 are the same, and each material tray 204 corresponds to the strip groove 201 in longitudinal height. Strip grooves 2041 are laterally formed on the material tray 204 near the strip groove 201. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the unloading plate 205 is located at the bottom of the drying cylinder 2, leaving a certain space between it and the bottom of the drying cylinder 2 for the entry of hot steam. The unloading plate 205 gradually thins from one end near the strip groove 201 to the other end, making the top of the unloading plate 205 sloping, which facilitates the unloading of materials. The support frame 206 is located between the unloading plate 205 and the material tray 204 at the bottom of the drying cylinder 2, and a cylindrical limiting groove 2061 is opened in the middle of it to assist the limiting plate 3. 04 Sliding in the longitudinal direction and limiting the vertical movement distance of the limiting plate 304. There are multiple feed inlets 207, which are longitudinally installed on the outside of the drying cylinder 2 on the side away from the strip groove 201. Each feed inlet 207 corresponds to a material tray 204 and is located above the material tray 204 for adding the material to be dried on the material tray 204. The discharge port 208 is located at the bottom of the outside of the drying cylinder 2 and below the feed inlet 207 for unloading the dried material.

[0037] In addition, the gear 403 on the rotating shaft 402 meshes with the rack 202 in the strip groove 201. The baffle 404 is located on the strip through groove 2041 of the material tray 204 and is used to block or open the notch on the material tray 204. When the drive rod 401 moves upward, the gear 403 drives the rotating shaft 402 to rotate under the action of the rack 202, which in turn drives the baffle 404 to move upward and rotate at the same time, so that the jujube kernel material on the baffle 404 falls off. The slider 408 is slidably installed on the strip limiting groove 203 to assist the drive rod 401 to move up and down smoothly.

[0038] As a preferred option, it remains as follows Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 5 includes a cylinder 501 fixedly installed on the top of the drying cylinder 2 and a push rod 502 fixedly installed on the piston end of the cylinder 501. Triangular pressure blocks 503 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the top of the push rod 502. Triangular grooves 6 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the bottom middle position of the bearing plate 305 and the stop block 405. The triangular pressure blocks 503 are installed at the bottom of the triangular grooves 6.

[0039] Specifically, cylinder 501 is fixedly installed on the top of drying cylinder 2 to provide power for the back-and-forth movement of push rod 502. Triangular pressure blocks 503 are symmetrically fixedly installed on both sides of the top of push rod 502, respectively used to drive the up-and-down movement of bearing plate 305 and stop block 405. Triangular grooves 6 are symmetrically opened at the bottom of adjacent sides of bearing plate 305 and stop block 405. The triangular pressure blocks 503 at both ends of the top of push rod 502 correspond to the triangular grooves 6 at the bottom of bearing plate 305 and stop block 405, respectively, and are used to push the bearing plate 305 and stop block 405 to rise and fall.

[0040] Before filling the drying cylinder 2, the piston rod of cylinder 501 retracts, and the triangular pressure block 503 located at the bottom of the support plate 305 presses the triangular groove 6 at the bottom of the support plate 305, causing the support plate 305 to move upward. When the support plate 305 moves upward to its highest point, the space between the bottom of the support plate 305 and the material tray 204 is the maximum drying volume of each material tray 204. Cylinder 501 stops working, and at this time, the triangular groove 6 at the bottom of the stop block 405 separates from the corresponding triangular pressure block 503 at its bottom. When the drive rod 401 moves downward the maximum distance, ... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The baffle 404 shown is parallel to the strip groove 2041 of the material tray 204. When jujube kernel material is added to the material tray 204, the motor 301 is started to drive the drive rod 401 and the flat plate 303 to rotate, so that the material on the material tray 204 is evenly spread.

[0041] Similarly, after the jujube kernels are dried, the piston rod of cylinder 501 extends, and the triangular pressing block 503 at the bottom of the stop block 405 presses the triangular groove 6 at the bottom of the stop block 405, causing the stop block 405 to move upward. When the stop block 405 moves upward to the highest point, the gear 403 rotates exactly one revolution, the cylinder 501 stops working, and the triangular groove 6 at the bottom of the bearing plate 305 separates from the triangular pressing block 503 at its bottom. The motor 301 is started to drive the drive rod 401 and the flat plate 303 to rotate. Under the action of the first compression spring 307, the flat unloading device 3 moves downward. At this time, the flat plate 303 moves downward while rotating until the flat plate 303 is in contact with the material tray 204. While the flat plate 303 is rotating, the jujube kernel material falls downward through the strip groove 2041 until the unloading is completed.

[0042] The distance by which the baffle 404 moves upward is greater than the thickness of the baffle 404 and more than twice the height of the flat plate 303.

[0043] As a preferred option, it remains as follows Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a hot air blower 7 is fixedly mounted on the base 1 at the bottom of the drying cylinder 2. Specifically, the hot air blower 7 is connected to the bottom of the drying cylinder 2 through a conveying pipe to provide heat to the inside of the drying cylinder 2.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
