Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of storage containers, specifically relating to a storage container for rice processing with a drying function. Background Technology

[0002] In the modern rice processing industry, the storage and drying of rice are crucial steps. As a staple food, rice often contains a high moisture content after harvesting. If it is not dried in time, it is prone to mold, pests, or quality deterioration, which may even affect subsequent processing and sales.

[0003] In existing rice storage containers, the fans are usually located in a fixed position, making it difficult for airflow to cover every corner of the rice. Some areas may receive less airflow, resulting in ineffective moisture removal and poor drying performance.

[0004] Therefore, a storage container for rice processing with a drying function is proposed. By starting the motor, the gear at the lower end of the second rotating rod drives the gear ring to rotate, causing the storage barrel to rotate on the inner wall of the first tank, thereby allowing the rice to be dried by wind at various locations and improving the drying effect.

[0010] Preferably, the upper part of the storage box has multiple vent holes, the left end of the storage box is fixedly connected to a feed pipe, and the lower end of the storage box is fixedly connected to a support column.

[0011] Preferably, the mixing assembly includes a mixing plate, a connecting rod, a scraper, a discharge pipe, and a solenoid valve; multiple mixing plates are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first rotating rod, the mixing plates are inclinedly arranged on the outer wall of the first rotating rod, and a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the lower end of the first rotating rod.

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment: a storage container for rice processing with a drying function, including a storage box 1; it also includes a motor 101 and a stirring assembly; a storage bucket 107 is provided inside the storage box 1, and a stirring assembly is provided inside the storage bucket 107; the motor 101 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the storage box 1, the output shaft of the motor 101 passes through the upper end of the storage box 1 and is fixedly connected to a first rotating rod 102; a second rotating rod 104 is rotatably provided at the top of the inner wall of the storage box 1; a pulley 103 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first rotating rod 102 and the second rotating rod 104; a transmission belt 105 is provided on the outer wall of the pulley 103; the second... A gear 106 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating rod 104, and a toothed ring 108 is fixedly connected to the outer edge of the storage barrel 107. The toothed ring 108 and the gear 106 mesh with each other. By starting the motor 101, the first rotating rod 102 is rotated. Under the action of the transmission belt 105, the first rotating rod 102 drives the second rotating rod 104 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear 106 to rotate the toothed ring 108. This causes the storage barrel 107 to rotate on the inner wall of the first trough 2, so that the rice can receive stable airflow in all positions. This solves the problem that some areas receive less airflow, which leads to the inability to effectively remove moisture and thus poor drying effect.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-4In this embodiment, a ventilation hole 109 is provided through the outer wall of the storage container 107. Multiple ventilation holes 109 are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the storage container 107. A filter screen 110 is fixed to the inner wall of the ventilation hole 109. By providing the ventilation hole 109, the rice can be dried evenly. The filter screen 110 prevents the rice from falling through the ventilation hole 109 when the storage container 107 rotates. A first groove 2 is provided through the bottom of the inner wall of the storage box 1. The first groove 2 is frustoconical in shape. The storage container 107 is rotated... A second tank 3 is provided through the left and right ends of the inner wall of the storage box 1 on the inner wall of the first tank 2. A protective cover 4 is fixed to the left and right ends of the storage box 1. A fan 5 is fixed to the inner wall of the protective cover 4. The fan 5 is located inside the second tank 3. Multiple exhaust holes 6 are provided through the upper end of the storage box 1. A feed pipe 7 is fixed to the left end of the storage box 1. A support column 8 is fixed to the lower end of the storage box 1. By providing exhaust holes 6 at the upper end of the storage box 1, the air inside the storage box 1 can be circulated, which helps to prevent moisture from accumulating inside the storage box 1.

[0022] Please see Figure 3 In this embodiment, the stirring assembly includes a stirring plate 201, a connecting rod 202, a scraper 203, a discharge pipe 204, and a solenoid valve 205. Multiple stirring plates 201 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first rotating rod 102, and the stirring plates 201 are inclinedly disposed on the outer wall of the first rotating rod 102. A connecting rod 202 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the first rotating rod 102. The connecting rod 202 is characterized by having multiple scrapers 203 fixedly connected to its outer wall, the lower end face of the scrapers 203 being in contact with the bottom surface of the inner wall of the storage tank 107. Multiple discharge pipes 204 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the storage tank 107. A solenoid valve 205 is fixedly connected to one end of 204 near the storage tank 107. Under the rotation of the first rotating rod 102, the stirring plate 201 rotates clockwise, while the storage tank 107 rotates counterclockwise under the drive of the gear 106. This allows the stirring plate 201 to agitate the rice inside, which helps to promote the flow of rice and prevents rice from accumulating or forming dead corners in the storage tank 107, thus improving the drying effect inside the rice. By providing a scraper 203, the rice at the bottom of the storage tank 107 can be scraped off during feeding to prevent rice residue.

[0023] In use, rice is first fed into the storage tank 107 through the feed pipe 7. Then, the motor 101 is started to rotate the first rotating rod 102. Under the action of the transmission belt 105, the first rotating rod 102 drives the second rotating rod 104 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear 106 to rotate the gear ring 108. This causes the storage tank 107 to rotate inside the first tank 2, so that the rice can receive stable airflow in all positions. This solves the problem that some areas receive less airflow, which leads to poor drying effect because moisture cannot be effectively discharged.

[0024] During the drying process, the first rotating rod 102 drives the stirring plate 201 to rotate clockwise, while the storage bucket 107 rotates counterclockwise under the drive of the gear 106. This allows the stirring plate 201 to turn over the rice inside, which helps to promote the flow of rice, prevents rice from piling up or creating dead corners in the storage bucket 107, and improves the drying effect inside the rice.

[0025] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
