Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to grain processing equipment, specifically a conveyor-type grain drying device. Background Technology
[0002] In grain processing, freshly harvested grain requires a rigorous drying and dehydration process before being stored to prevent spoilage due to high moisture content. Existing grain drying equipment mainly includes continuous dryers, tower dryers, and mesh belt dryers. Among these, mesh belt dryers achieve drying by evenly distributing grain through a mesh belt and allowing hot air to penetrate. While simple to operate, they are relatively large and suffer from technical problems such as low hot air volume and long drying times. Therefore, improving the air volume and reducing the drying time of mesh belt dryers has become a pressing technical challenge in this field. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the above problems, this application provides a conveyor-type grain drying device to solve the technical problems of small air volume and long drying time of mesh belt dryers.

[0045] Please see Figures 1 to 7 This embodiment provides a conveyor-type grain drying device. This conveyor-type grain drying device can be used to dry various grains such as rice, wheat, and sorghum, causing the moisture in the grains to evaporate. This conveyor-type grain drying device has advantages such as high drying efficiency, uniform hot air distribution, and convenient discharge operation.
[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the conveyor-type grain drying device includes a drying trough 1 and a hot air device 2. The hot air device 2 is located at one end of the drying trough 1 and is used to provide hot air to the drying trough 1. The drying trough 1 is used to convey grain that is being dried. The grain is dried while being conveyed in the drying trough 1. The drying trough 1 includes a trough body, a drying conveyor belt 11, and a hot air channel 12.
[0047] The drying conveyor belt 11 is arranged along the length of the trough, extending from the first end to the last end. Inclined plates 101 are respectively provided at the front end and both sides of the trough. The inclined plates 101 are tilted and their bottoms are close to the drying conveyor belt, allowing the grain to slide onto the drying conveyor belt and preventing it from accumulating around the trough. Ventilation holes are evenly distributed on the surface of the drying conveyor belt. The hot air channel 12 is arranged parallel to the bottom of the drying conveyor belt, and multiple hot air outlets are spaced along the length of the upper surface of the hot air channel 12. Hot air passes through the hot air outlets and the ventilation holes in sequence before contacting the grain. The drying conveyor belt can be a metal mesh conveyor belt with evenly distributed ventilation holes on its surface. Conveyor rollers are provided at both ends of the drying conveyor belt, and multiple evenly distributed support rollers are provided in the middle. At least one conveyor roller is connected to a power unit, which drives the conveyor roller to rotate, thereby driving the drying conveyor belt.
[0048] The hot air channel 12 is located directly below the drying conveyor belt and is parallel to it. The hot air channel 12 is an independent channel with a length approximately equal to that of the drying conveyor belt, ensuring that the entire conveyor belt receives hot air. The hot air enters the drying conveyor belt from bottom to top through the hot air channel 12, passes through ventilation holes on the conveyor belt, and contacts the grain, thus drying it. The grain moves slowly on the drying conveyor belt, allowing sufficient time for drying. In some cases, to extend the drying time, the drying conveyor belt operates intermittently, moving forward a certain distance and then stopping to allow the grain to dry for a period before moving forward again. During each forward movement of the drying conveyor belt, new grain can be fed into the front end, and the dried grain is discharged from the drying trough 1 at the rear end, thus achieving a continuous drying process.
[0049] A discharge gate 14 is provided at the tail end of the trough. The discharge gate 14 protrudes horizontally relative to the trough, making it suspended in the air. A receiving conveyor belt 4 is placed below the discharge gate 14. The tail end of the drying conveyor belt is close to the discharge gate 14. When discharge is required, the discharge gate 14 is opened, and the dried grain is output by the drying conveyor belt and discharged from the discharge gate 14 into the receiving conveyor belt 4. Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a horizontally protruding protrusion 13 is provided at the upper part of the tail end of the drying trough 1. The protrusion 13 is provided with a discharge port, and the top of the discharge tail gate 14 is hinged to the upper part of the discharge port by a hinge 141. The discharge tail gate 14 at the tail end of the trough is suspended, so it is convenient to place the material receiving conveyor belt directly below the discharge tail gate 14, thereby facilitating the output of dried grains and improving the convenience of drying and discharging.
[0050] In this embodiment, multiple drying troughs 1 can be set up, and a corresponding hot air device 2 can be configured for each drying trough 1. Each drying trough 1 is arranged side by side parallel to each other, and a receiving conveyor belt is used to receive the grains dried by multiple drying troughs 1. The discharge gates 14 of each drying trough 1 are arranged side by side along the same straight line. The length direction of the receiving conveyor belt is perpendicular to the length direction of the drying trough 1, so that the receiving conveyor belt is located directly below each discharge gate 14. Therefore, one receiving conveyor belt can simultaneously receive the grains discharged from multiple drying troughs 1.
[0051] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the hot air device 2 includes: multiple heating pipes 21, a fan 22, and a first horn cover 24. The multiple heating pipes 21 are fixed parallel to each other within a rectangular frame; the first horn cover 24 includes a rectangular large-mouth connecting end and a circular small-mouth connecting end; the large-mouth connecting end is connected to the rectangular frame, the small-mouth connecting end is connected to the air inlet of the fan 22, and the air outlet of the fan 22 is connected to the air inlet of the hot air channel 12. In this embodiment, the fan 22 is a volute centrifugal fan 22, which includes a volute, an impeller, and a drive motor. The impeller is disposed within the volute and is driven by the drive motor. In other embodiments, the fan 22 may also be an axial flow fan 22, which includes a fan casing, an impeller, and a motor. The impeller is rotatably disposed within the fan casing and is driven by the motor. One end of the fan casing is the air inlet, and the other end is the air outlet.
[0052] The heating element 21 can be a PCT electric heating element 21, a heating element 21 in a heat pump heating device, or a heating element 21 in a combustion heating device, etc. Both ends of the heating element 21 are fixed to a rectangular frame, which is connected to the fan 22 via a first horn cover 24. Air heated by the heating element 21 is blown by the fan 22 into the hot air channel 12 within the drying chamber 1. Figure 7 The diagram shown is an unfolded view of the first speaker cover 24 in this embodiment. The first speaker cover 24 is formed by splicing two splicing sub-plates 240. The outer side of each splicing sub-plate 240 is a large opening connection end, and the inner side is a small opening connection end. Two bending parts 241 are respectively provided in the splicing sub-plate 240. After bending along the bending parts 241, the two splicing sub-plates are spliced together to form a speaker cover with a rectangular large opening connection end and a circular small opening connection end.
[0053] In this embodiment, the size of the larger opening connecting end of the first horn cover 24 is larger than the size of the smaller opening connecting end. The larger opening connecting end is rectangular, while the smaller opening connecting end can be rectangular or circular. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the larger opening connecting end of the first horn cover 24 is connected to a rectangular frame, and the smaller opening connecting end is connected to the fan 22. Therefore, the fan 22 can be connected to a larger rectangular frame via the first horn cover 24. Adding more heating tubes 21 can increase the temperature of the hot air and improve drying efficiency. In this technical solution, a hot air channel 12 is arranged parallel to the bottom of the drying conveyor belt, allowing hot air to enter the entire drying conveyor belt evenly and improving the uniformity of hot air distribution.
[0054] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the hot air device 2 further includes a second horn cover 23, the small end of the second horn cover 23 is connected to the air outlet of the fan 22, and the large end of the second horn cover 23 is connected to the air inlet of the hot air channel 12.
[0055] The larger opening of the second horn cover 23 is larger than the smaller opening. The second horn cover 23 allows the hot air channel 12 with a wider cross-section to be adapted to the fan 22, thereby allowing the drying conveyor belt to receive hot air over a wider area in the width direction and increasing the hot air distribution area of the drying conveyor belt.
[0056] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the hot air device 2 further includes an outer frame 25, which includes multiple uprights and crossbars connecting adjacent uprights. The rectangular frame is fixed to the top of the outer frame 25, and the fan 22 is fixed to the bottom of the outer frame 25. The uprights and crossbars can be made of metal components such as angle steel, and the uprights and crossbars can be fixedly connected by welding or bolts. The rectangular frame and fan 22 can be fixed to the outer frame 25 by bolts. In this embodiment, using the outer frame 25 in the hot air device 2 and placing the fan 22 at the bottom of the outer frame 25 improves the installation stability of the rectangular frame and fan 22. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the heating pipe 21 and the rectangular frame are positioned directly above the fan 22, facilitating the blowing of heated hot air into the hot air channel 12.
[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, latches 142 are provided on both sides of the lower part of the discharge tailgate 14 to lock the discharge tailgate 14. In this embodiment, the top of the discharge tailgate 14 is hinged, and latches 142 are provided on both sides of the lower part. Therefore, the discharge tailgate 14 can be flipped upward to open, facilitating the downward discharge of dried grains. The latches 142 on both sides of the lower part can reliably lock the discharge tailgate 14 when closed. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, an electrical control cabinet 3 is provided in the middle of the protrusion 13. The electrical control cabinet 3 is equipped with a controller to control the operation of the hot air device 2 and the drying conveyor belt. This controller is a conventional technology in the art and will not be described in detail here.
[0058] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, conveyor belt rollers 111 are respectively provided at both ends of the drying conveyor belt. The protrusion 13 is provided with a tension adjustment groove 112 extending along the length direction. The two ends of the conveyor belt roller 111 at the tail end are adjustablely positioned within the tension adjustment groove 112. By adjusting the position of the conveyor rollers within the tension adjustment groove 112, the relative distance between the two conveyor rollers can be adjusted, thereby tensioning the drying conveyor belt.
[0059] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of this application, this should not limit the scope of patent protection of this application. Any technical solutions that are based on the essential concept of this application and utilize the content described in the text and drawings of this application, resulting in equivalent structural or procedural substitutions or modifications, as well as the direct or indirect application of the technical solutions of the above embodiments to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
