DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Embodiment

[0025] The utility model provides a kind of seed drying processing turnover device, as shown in Figure 1 It includes shell. Inner tank 200 for placing seed and turnover assembly 300 for overturning seed inside inner tank 200 are arranged in shell 100. The device further includes first drive assembly 101 connected with inner tank 200 and for driving inner tank 200 to rotate axially, and second drive assembly 102 connected with turnover assembly 300 and for driving turnover assembly 300 to rotate axially in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of inner tank 200 inside inner tank 200. Under the action of first drive assembly 101 and second drive assembly 102, inner tank 200 and turnover assembly 300 will rotate around shaft in the opposite direction, so that the seed in inner tank 200 will keep turning in their movement, avoiding seed accumulation together. The reason why synchronous but different direction rotation is adopted is that single turning mode is easy to cause seed located in bottom layer to be always unaffected by turning and always accumulated below, leading to its deterioration. The different direction rotation of the two can ensure the complete turning of seed, avoiding uneven heating of seed. Moreover, under the condition that inner tank 200 and turnover assembly 300 rotate around shaft in the opposite direction, the rotation speed of inner tank 200 and turnover assembly 300 can be controlled within low speed range. The turning structure in prior art has lower turning efficiency of seed under the same rotation speed. The inner tank 200 and turnover assembly 300 of the utility model can achieve better turning effect of seed at lower rotation speed, and lower rotation speed can reduce the risk of damage to seed and reduce the risk of failure of corresponding motor, while providing seed drying efficiency, reducing cost consumption.

[0026] Preferably, first drive assembly 101 and second drive assembly 102 can be torque motor. Its specific model can be selected according to actual use, so its control mode and wiring arrangement are not explained in detail.

[0027] According to a preferred embodiment, as Figure 3As shown in the drawings, the outer surface of the inner tank 200 is provided with a plurality of support wheels 201. Preferably, the plurality of support wheels 201 are arranged in a circular ring along the outer circumference of the inner tank 200. The inner wall of the outer shell 100 is provided with a track 103 for the movement of the plurality of support wheels 201. The outer surface of the inner tank 200 circumscribes the plurality of support wheels 201, so that during the rotation of the inner tank 200 driven by the first driving assembly 100, there is no collision between the inner tank 200 and the outer shell 100, and the efficiency of rotation is improved. It should be noted that the outer surface of the inner tank 200 can also not be provided with support wheels 201, but only be provided with vertical support force by the axial first driving assembly 100, which can also avoid collision with the outer shell 100. The support wheels 201 provided in the present application can effectively reduce the influence of gravity on the first driving assembly 101, and avoid damage, fracture and other situations of the first driving assembly 101 due to excessive load combined with the axial force provided by the rotation thereof. Preferably, the inner wall of the outer shell 100 is provided with a track 103 corresponding to the plurality of support wheels 201. Since the support wheels 201 are arranged in the circumferential direction on the outer surface of the inner tank 200, the track can limit the lateral movement of the support wheels 201, that is, limit the lateral movement of the inner tank 200 in the outer shell 100.

[0028] According to a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The inner tank 200 comprises an inner tank body 202 for containing seeds and a cover 203 for sealing the inner tank body 202. As shown in Figure 5 The axial direction of the cover 203 is provided with a first driving assembly 101. The cover 203 is fixedly connected with the first driving assembly 101. In the case that the cover 203 is separated from the inner tank body 202, the inner tank body 202 has a feeding port, and the seeds can be put into the inner tank body 202 by the operator. Further preferably, the inner tank body 202 can be made of metal material to ensure the efficiency of heat conduction.

[0029] According to a preferred embodiment, the inner tank body 202 and the cover 203 are connected by hinging. The outer periphery of the cover 203 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 204. The side of the inner tank body 202 close to the cover 203 is provided with a groove 205 for clamping the plurality of protrusions. The cover 203 can also be made of metal material. The side of the cover 203 away from the inner tank body 202 is fixedly connected with the first driving assembly 101. In the case that the cover 203 seals the inner tank body 202, the first driving assembly 101 can be started to drive the cover 203, and since the plurality of protrusions 204 of the cover 203 correspondingly clamp the plurality of protrusions 204 of the inner tank body 202, the first driving assembly 101 can drive the whole inner tank 200 to rotate around the shaft. The first driving assembly 100 can be externally circumscribed by additional components such as power supply, which is not limited in the present application.

The inner tank body 202 serves as the outer ring of the bearing and the rotating shaft 301 serves as the inner ring of the bearing. The inner tank body 202 and the rotating shaft 301 are filled with rolling elements. The rolling elements are, for example, metal steel balls. In this way, the inner tank body 202 and the rotating shaft 301 can rotate relative to each other.

[0031] According to a preferred embodiment, the rotating shaft 301 is provided with a rotating member 302 for rotating the seeds. The rotating member 302 is arranged in a spiral manner around the rotating shaft 301 inside the inner tank body 202.

[0032] According to a preferred embodiment, the rotating member 302 is provided with a plurality of through holes 303 distributed discretely and used for the passage of seeds. The above-mentioned discrete distribution means that the density of the through holes 303 is the same in any interval range of the rotating member 302. Preferably, the diameter of the through holes 303 is greater than the diameter of the seeds. In this way, during the rotation of the rotating member 302 around the rotating shaft 301, the seeds can partially pass through the through holes 303, thereby improving the rotating and mixing efficiency of the seeds.

[0033] According to a preferred embodiment, the inner wall of the outer shell 100 is further provided with an electric heating wire 104 for providing heat. The outer shell 100 is further provided with a fan 105 for blowing hot air to the inner tank body 202 at a position corresponding to the electric heating wire 104.

[0034] According to a preferred embodiment, a sealing member for preventing the seeds from leaking out is arranged between the inner tank body 202 and the cover 203, and the inner tank body 202 can be provided with an air hole for the passage of hot air. The diameter of the air hole is smaller than the diameter of the seeds. The fan 105 can blow the hot air generated by the electric heating wire 104 through the air hole to the inner tank body 202.

[0035] According to a preferred embodiment, the device further comprises a support frame located at the bottom of the outer shell 100 and used for supporting the outer shell 100. The support frame is made of metal to ensure that the outer shell 100 does not tip over due to the rotation of the inner tank 200 and the rotating assembly 300.
