Detailed Implementation
[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0034] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of an energy-saving hot air circulation device for a grain dryer, including a support base 1, which serves as the basic support structure for the entire device. The upper part of the support base 1 is provided with a support shell 2 and a heat insulation shell 3. The support shell 2 is connected to the inner wall of the support base 1, providing installation space and protection for components such as the circulation component 4 and the drying cylinder 44, so that the hot air circulation and grain drying process can be carried out in a relatively closed environment, reducing heat loss and external interference. The heat insulation shell 3 mainly plays a heat preservation role, reducing the heat loss from the device to the external environment and improving energy utilization efficiency. The circulation component 4 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support shell 2, and a drive component 6 is provided at the lower part of the support base 1.
[0035] Reference Figures 1-3The circulation component 4 includes two sets of heat-insulating pipes 41 that penetrate the upper inner wall of the support base 1. The two sets of heat-insulating pipes 41 are used to connect the support base 1, the heating device 42, and the blower 43 to realize hot air circulation. A filter cylinder 48 is provided on the outer side of the right set of heat-insulating pipes 41 to filter the absorbed airflow and prevent impurities in the grain from entering. The outer side of the filter cylinder 48 near the swing member 47 is smooth to increase the stability when in contact with the swing member 47. The heating device 42, which is fixed to the upper part of the support shell 2, is connected to the outer side of the heat-insulating pipes 41 and is heated by infrared heating tubes, etc. The component heats the airflow, which is existing technology, so it will not be described in detail. A blower 43 is provided on the left side of the heating device 42 to realize the air flow in the device. A set of heat preservation pipes 41 on the left side is fixedly connected to the blower 43. A drying cylinder 44 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support shell 2 to place the grains to be dried. It can continuously turn the grains so that the grains are heated more evenly. The front and rear sides of the drying cylinder 44 are fixedly installed with sealing covers 7 by buckles to seal the sides of the drying cylinder 44. The inner wall of the drying cylinder 44 is spirally provided with conveying blades to realize the discharge of grains.
[0036] Reference Figures 3-5 A toggle block 45 is fixedly connected to the outside of the drying cylinder 44. The toggle block 45 is set with an inclined surface in the clockwise direction. Multiple sets of toggle blocks 45 are arranged around the outside of the drying cylinder 44. When the drying cylinder 44 rotates, the inclined surface of the toggle block 45 presses the left side of the swing member 47. A fixed rod 46 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support base 1 to support the swing member 47. The swing member 47 is rotatably connected to the outside of the fixed rod 46. A buffer pad is provided on the outside of the swing member 47. The swing member 47 is elastically connected to the fixed rod 46 through a torsion spring 49. The swing member 47 and the torsion spring 49 work together. After the swing member 47 is pressed, it can hit the filter cylinder 48 through the buffer pad on the swing member 47, causing impurities on the surface of the filter cylinder 48 to fall off, thus maintaining the drying efficiency.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The drive assembly 6 includes a gear ring 61 disposed on the outside of the drying cylinder 44. A drive motor 62 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the support base 1 as a power source, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail. A gear 63 is fixedly connected to the front side of the output shaft of the drive motor 62. The gear 63 meshes with the gear ring 61 and can transmit the power of the drive motor 62 to the gear ring 61, thereby driving the drying cylinder 44 to rotate, realizing the tumbling and drying of grains in the drying cylinder 44, and improving the drying efficiency. A cleaning assembly 5 is disposed on the lower side of the support base 1 near the filter cylinder 48. The cleaning assembly 5 includes a collection box 51 slidably connected to the inner wall of the support base 1, which is used to collect impurities shaken off from the filter cylinder 48, making it convenient for users to regularly remove and clean it. The collection box 51 is fixedly installed to the support base 1 through a connector 52, which facilitates the disassembly and installation of the collection box 51.
[0038] Working principle: Before starting the energy-saving hot air circulation device of the grain dryer, put the grain to be dried into the drying cylinder 44 and close the sealing cover 7. After starting the device, the drive motor 62 starts to work. The gear 63 on the front side of the output shaft of the drive motor 62 meshes with the gear ring 61 on the outer side of the drying cylinder 44. The power generated by the drive motor 62 is transmitted to the gear ring 61 through the gear 63, thereby driving the drying cylinder 44 to rotate in the support shell 2.
[0039] At the same time, the heating device 42 and the blower 43 are started. The heating device 42 uses heating components such as infrared heating tubes to heat the air. The blower 43 blows the heated air into the drying cylinder 44 through a set of heat-insulating pipes 41 on the left side. The hot air comes into full contact with the grain in the drying cylinder 44 and removes the moisture from the grain.
[0040] Subsequently, air containing moisture and impurities exits from the drying cylinder 44, passes through a set of heat-insulating pipes 41 on the right side, and is filtered through the filter cylinder 48. The filtered air then returns to the heating device 42 to be heated. This cycle repeats continuously, forming a hot air circulation system that continuously provides heat for grain drying, achieving the goal of energy-saving drying.
[0041] During the rotation of the drying cylinder 44, multiple sets of clockwise inclined actuating blocks 45 on its outer side rotate accordingly. When the actuating blocks 45 rotate, the inclined surface periodically presses the left side of the swing member 47. The swing member 47 is mounted on the fixed rod 46 and is elastically connected to the fixed rod 46 through a torsion spring 49. When compressed, the swing member 47 rotates around the fixed rod 46 and compresses the torsion spring 49. When the actuating blocks 45 leave, the torsion spring 49 releases its elastic force, causing the swing member 47 to return to its original position. This causes the buffer pad on the outer side of the swing member 47 to periodically impact the filter cylinder 48, effectively shaking off the impurities adsorbed on the surface of the filter cylinder 48 during the filtration process.
[0042] The shaken-off impurities will fall into the collection box 51. The operator can rotate the connector 52 to release the lock on the collection box 51, thereby cleaning the impurities, keeping the inside of the device clean, and ensuring the normal operation of the device.
[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
