Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rice processing technology, and in particular to a rice dryer. Background Technology

[0002] As my country's main food crop, rice is stored in granaries every year to meet unforeseen needs. To prevent rice from becoming moldy, it needs to be dried to ensure that the moisture content is reduced to below 12% to meet the storage requirements.

[0003] Chinese Patent 202320908793.1 discloses a rice dryer, including a dryer body and a collection seat. The dryer body has a discharge port at one end, and the collection seat is located below the discharge port. A turntable is rotatably connected to the collection seat, and a rotating mechanism is installed on the top wall of the turntable. A crossbar is installed on the end of the collection seat near the dryer body, and two locking blocks are installed on the side wall of the crossbar. The two locking blocks abut against the support legs of the dryer body. A fixing mechanism is installed between the collection seat and the turntable. The rotating mechanism helps rotate bags filled with rice, allowing for quick bag replacement and effectively reducing rice loss during bag replacement. The fixing mechanism also helps fix the rotating mechanism in position, ensuring the stability of the collection bag when receiving rice.

[0004] However, the aforementioned dryer is in operation, and one of the collection bags in the limiting frame is already full of dried rice. These rice-filled collection bags are moved by rotating the central rod. The purpose of this step is to remove the full collection bags from the discharge port of the dryer body, and then move the empty collection bags to the discharge port of the dryer body. Since the dryer body does not temporarily shut down or interrupt its drying operation due to the replacement of collection bags, a certain amount of rice will inevitably fall down during the process of moving the full rice collection bags and replacing the empty collection bags. This requires subsequent collection of the fallen rice, which is quite troublesome. Therefore, a rice dryer is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention proposes a rice dryer, including a dryer body 1 and a base plate 8. The base plate 8 is located below the discharge port of the dryer body 1. It also includes a mounting shell 5. The outer end face of the mounting shell 5 is connected to the upper end of the base plate 8 through multiple support feet 2. The upper edge of the mounting shell 5 is connected to the mounting ring 3 through a sliding component. A screening screen 7 is provided on the inner end face of the mounting ring 3. A discharge hopper 18 is provided at the bottom edge of the mounting shell 5. The inner end face of the mounting shell 5 is connected to the drive motor 20 through a connector. The output shaft of the drive motor 20 is coaxially connected to the rotating plate 16. The screening screen 7 is located on the upper end face of the rotating plate 16. One end of the rotating rod 11 is coaxially connected to the upper end of the screening screen 7. The other end of the rotating rod 11 is connected to the fixing block 4. Mounting components are provided on multiple outer end faces of the fixing block 4. A collection component is also placed on the base plate 8. The collection component is located at the discharge port of the discharge hopper 18.

[0026] In this invention, multiple collection bags are first installed on multiple mounting components, and rice is added into the dryer body 1. The dryer body 1 dries the rice. After drying, the rice falls from the discharge end of the dryer body 1 into the collection bags. When the collection bags are full, the drive motor 20 drives the rotating plate 16 to rotate. The rotating plate 16 drives the screening screen 7 to rotate. When the screening screen 7 rotates, the rotating rod 11 drives the fixed block 4 to rotate, thereby driving the multiple mounting components to rotate. This allows the full collection bags to be moved away from the discharge port of the dryer body 1. Then, the empty collection bags are moved to the discharge port of the dryer body 1, allowing for quick replacement of the collection bags. During the process of moving the full collection bags and replacing the empty collection bags, a certain amount of rice will inevitably fall. The fallen rice will enter the interior of the mounting shell 5 through the mounting ring 3 and finally enter the collection components through the discharge hopper 18.

[0027] In an optional embodiment, the sliding assembly includes an annular slide plate 6 and sliders 15. The annular slide plate 6 is located at the upper edge of the mounting housing 5, and one end of a plurality of sliders 15 is arranged in an annular array at the bottom of the mounting ring 3. The plurality of sliders 15 are slidably connected to the upper edge of the annular slide plate 6.

[0028] It should be noted that when the screening screen 7 is rotating, the screening screen 7 can drive the mounting ring 3 to rotate. When the mounting ring 3 rotates, it can drive multiple sliders 15 to move in the upper groove of the annular slide plate 6, thus ensuring the stability of the screening screen 7 when it rotates.

[0029] In an optional embodiment, the connector includes a connecting rod 17 and a fixing ring 19. The outer end face of the fixing ring 19 is connected to the inner side wall of the mounting housing 5 through a plurality of connecting rods 17 arranged in a ring array. The drive motor 20 is located on the inner end face of the fixing ring 19. The drive motor 20 can be installed through the connector.

[0030] It should be noted that the fixing ring 19 can be installed through multiple connecting rods 17, and the drive motor 20 can be fixed through the fixing ring 19.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, the connecting rod 17 has a cylindrical structure and the outer end face of the connecting rod 17 is smooth.

[0032] It should be noted that, since the connecting rod 17 has a cylindrical structure and a smooth surface, it prevents rice residue from remaining on the connecting rod 17.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, the mounting assembly includes a support rod 14 and a connecting ring 13. Multiple outer end faces of the fixing block 4 are connected to the outer end faces of the connecting ring 13 respectively through multiple support rods 14. The assembly also includes fixing nails 12, with multiple fixing nails 12 located at the upper edge of the connecting ring 13.

[0034] It should be noted that the connecting ring 13 can be connected to the outer end face of the fixing block 4 by means of multiple support rods 14, and the collection bag can be installed on the connecting ring 13 by means of multiple fixing nails 12.

[0035] In an optional embodiment, the collection assembly includes a collection box 9 and a handle 10. The collection box 9 is placed on the upper end face of the base plate 8 and located at the discharge port of the discharge hopper 18. The handle 10 is located on the outer end face of the collection box 9, and the upward opening of the collection box 9 is located below the discharge port of the discharge hopper 18.

[0036] It should be noted that the rice falling through the discharge hopper 18 will enter the collection box 9 for collection, and the collection box 9 can be easily moved by the handle 10.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
