Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of rice drying technology, specifically a rice processing drying device. Background Technology
[0002] In modern rice processing, spreading and sun-drying are important steps to improve rice quality. Traditional rice spreading and sun-drying methods mostly rely on natural sun-drying or simple conveyor devices, and the drying effect is achieved by manually spreading or turning the rice.
[0003] Traditional rice processing equipment is mostly a single conveyor belt structure, which usually relies on the distribution effect of rice falling naturally. This cannot guarantee the uniformity of rice, which will lead to rice accumulation in some areas and sparse distribution in other areas. To address this, we propose a rice processing and drying device. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problem that current traditional rice processing equipment, mostly consisting of a single conveyor belt structure, relies on the natural distribution of rice as it falls, which cannot guarantee uniformity and leads to rice accumulation in some areas while remaining sparsely distributed in others, this invention provides the following technical solution: a rice processing and spreading drying device, including a feeding inlet, a feeding box at the bottom of the feeding inlet, and a flow regulating mechanism inside the feeding box.
[0005] The flow regulation mechanism includes an adjusting baffle, which is rotatably mounted inside the feed hopper. The feed hopper has a discharge port, and a distribution mechanism is provided at the bottom of the feed hopper near the discharge port.
[0006] The distribution mechanism includes a distribution conveyor belt, with linear guide rails on both sides of the conveyor belt. A connector is slidably disposed between the two linear guide rails. A rotary motor is disposed at the bottom of the connector, and distribution blades are disposed at the output end of the rotary motor. A drying mechanism is disposed at the bottom of the distribution conveyor belt.
[0007] The drying mechanism includes a drying conveyor belt, on which drying trays are installed, and inside the drying conveyor belt is a fan.
[0008] Preferably, one end of the adjusting baffle is rotatably connected to the feeding box via a rotating shaft. A cylinder is provided at the bottom of the feeding box, and the telescopic end of the cylinder is connected to the adjusting baffle. An arc-shaped slide rail is provided on the side wall of the feeding box. A sliding member is provided on the side of the adjusting baffle corresponding to the arc-shaped slide rail. The sliding member is slidably connected to the arc-shaped slide rail to control the opening size of the feeding port, thereby adjusting the feeding amount and ensuring that the rice flows in at a uniform speed, avoiding subsequent accumulation or overfeeding.
[0009] Preferably, anti-overflow plates are provided on both sides of the distribution conveyor belt, and linear guide rails are provided on the anti-overflow plates to effectively prevent rice from spilling during the conveying process.
[0010] Preferably, the connector is provided with sliders on both sides, the sliders are matched with the linear guide rail, and the connector is slidably connected to the linear guide rail through the sliders, which can slide up and down to adjust the height of the distribution blades, allowing the operator to flexibly adjust according to the flow rate, particle size and required thickness of the rice.
[0011] Preferably, the number of the load-sharing blades is 4-6. The load-sharing blades are detachable blades. Too many blades may increase the load-sharing and generate too much centrifugal force, while too few blades may lead to uneven distribution.
[0012] Preferably, the drying conveyor belt is a mesh conveyor belt, and the bottom of the drying tray is provided with ventilation holes to facilitate air circulation, accelerate the evaporation of moisture on the surface of the rice, and make the drying process more efficient.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] During operation, rice enters the device through the inlet. After entering the feeding box, an adjusting baffle is connected to the feeding box via a rotating shaft and a cylinder. The angle of the adjusting baffle is controlled by the extension and retraction of the cylinder, thereby precisely regulating the amount of rice fed in. This ensures that the rice is evenly distributed through the outlet onto the distribution conveyor belt. The connecting parts of the distribution mechanism slide on a linear guide rail via a slider, adjusting the height of the distribution blades to the desired position. A rotary motor drives the distribution blades to rotate, thus evenly distributing the rice onto the distribution conveyor belt. The distributed rice falls onto the drying trays on the drying conveyor belt. The airflow generated by the fan passes through the mesh conveyor belt and ventilation holes, ensuring uniform airflow and accelerating the evaporation of moisture from the rice surface. This allows the rice to dry quickly and reach the ideal moisture content. The precise control of the rice distribution thickness on the conveyor belt avoids the problems of accumulation and sparseness in traditional drying methods, overcoming the defects of uneven distribution and slow drying speed in traditional processing methods.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] The flow regulation mechanism includes an adjusting baffle 3, which is rotatably mounted inside the feed box 2. The feed box 2 has a discharge port 7, and a distribution mechanism is provided at the bottom of the feed box 2 near the discharge port 7.
[0022] The distribution mechanism includes a distribution conveyor belt 8, with linear guide rails 10 on both sides of the distribution conveyor belt 8. A connector 11 is slidably arranged between the two linear guide rails 10. A rotary motor 12 is installed at the bottom of the connector 11. Distribution blades 13 are installed at the output end of the rotary motor 12. A drying mechanism is installed at the bottom of the distribution conveyor belt 8.
[0023] The drying mechanism includes a drying conveyor belt 14, on which drying trays 15 are installed, and a fan 16 is installed inside the drying conveyor belt 14.
[0024] One end of the adjusting baffle 3 is rotatably connected to the feeding box 2 via a rotating shaft 4. A cylinder 5 is provided at the bottom of the feeding box 2. The telescopic end of the cylinder 5 is connected to the adjusting baffle 3. An arc-shaped slide rail 6 is provided on the side wall of the feeding box 2. A sliding member is provided on the side of the adjusting baffle 3 corresponding to the arc-shaped slide rail 6. The sliding member is slidably connected to the arc-shaped slide rail 6 to control the opening size of the feeding port 7, thereby adjusting the feeding amount and ensuring that the rice flows in at a uniform speed to avoid subsequent accumulation or overfeeding.
[0025] Both sides of the distribution conveyor belt 8 are equipped with anti-overflow plates 9, and linear guide rails 10 are installed on the anti-overflow plates 9 to effectively prevent rice from spilling during the conveying process.
[0026] The connector 11 has sliders on both sides, which match the linear guide rail 10. The connector 11 is slidably connected to the linear guide rail 10 through the sliders, and can slide up and down to adjust the height of the distribution blade 13, allowing the operator to flexibly adjust it according to the rice flow rate, particle size and required thickness.
[0027] The number of blades in the distribution blade 13 is 4-6. The distribution blade 13 is a detachable blade. Too many blades may increase the distribution load and generate too much centrifugal force, while too few blades may lead to uneven distribution.
[0028] The drying conveyor belt 14 is a mesh conveyor belt, and the bottom of the drying tray 15 is equipped with ventilation holes, which helps air circulation, accelerates the evaporation of moisture on the surface of the rice, and makes the drying process more efficient.
[0029] Working principle: During operation, rice enters the device through the feed inlet 1. After entering the feed box 2, the adjusting baffle 3 is connected to the feed box 2 via the rotating shaft 4 and the cylinder 5. The extension and retraction of the cylinder 5 controls the angle of the adjusting baffle 3, thereby precisely adjusting the amount of rice fed. This allows the rice to pass evenly through the discharge port 7 into the spreading conveyor belt 8. The connecting part 11 of the spreading mechanism slides on the linear guide rail 10 via a slider, adjusting the height of the spreading blades 13 to the required position. The rotary motor 12 drives the spreading blades 13 to rotate, thereby evenly spreading the rice on the spreading conveyor belt 8. The spread rice falls onto the drying trays 15 on the drying conveyor belt 14. The airflow generated by the fan 16 passes through the mesh conveyor belt and ventilation holes, making the air flow evenly and accelerating the evaporation of moisture from the rice surface. This allows the rice to dry quickly and reach the ideal moisture content. The spreading thickness of the rice on the conveyor belt is precisely controlled, avoiding the problems of accumulation and sparseness in traditional drying methods. This overcomes the defects of uneven spreading and slow drying speed in traditional processing methods.
