Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying bed technology, specifically to a glutinous corn drying bed. Background Technology

[0002] We all know that frozen glutinous corn is an agricultural product. The planting and growth of agricultural products are affected by many factors, so the maturity of glutinous corn in a field is not the same. Frozen glutinous corn requires a maturity of about 80%. This means that some old corn and some young corn cannot be frozen. Sometimes, the amount of corn that cannot be processed is very large. Since it cannot be processed into frozen corn, it can only be used as feed, which is very inefficient and cannot recover the cost of planting.

[0003] Processing mature corn (over 80% ripeness) into snack foods involves boiling, drying, puffing, frying, sugar soaking, packaging, and selling. Drying is crucial in this process, requiring the removal of 70% of the moisture from the boiled corn. However, current drying heat sources are difficult to control at optimal temperatures, resulting in lower corn integrity after drying. A special drying bed for glutinous corn is needed to address this issue. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a glutinous corn drying bed to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a glutinous corn drying bed, including a drying material bed, wherein a stainless steel perforated mesh plate is installed on the drying material bed and fixed to the drying material bed by rivets, the stainless steel perforated mesh plate is connected to a glutinous corn kernel drying bed ventilation chamber, three sets of centrifugal fans are installed on one side of the glutinous corn kernel drying bed ventilation chamber and are in a connected state, and a drying bed electric heater is installed on the drying material bed.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the outer layer of the ventilation chamber of the glutinous corn kernel drying bed is respectively equipped with a drying bed steel frame and a drying bed enclosure, and the ventilation chamber of the glutinous corn kernel drying bed is divided into three parts by two drying bed ventilation chamber partitions.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a stainless steel frame plate is installed on the drying bed of the dryer, and the stainless steel frame plate is fixed to the steel frame of the drying bed by screws.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a drying bed thermometer is installed on the drying bed of the dryer, and both the drying bed thermometer and the drying bed electric heater are connected to the drying bed electrical control box.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, an electric motor is installed on one side of the centrifugal fan, and the bottom end of the electric motor is fixedly installed on the support frame.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the ventilation chamber of the glutinous corn kernel drying bed is welded from steel profiles, and the ventilation chamber of the glutinous corn kernel drying bed is divided into three groups and three ventilation chambers.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] (1) This utility model is a glutinous corn drying bed. The drying bed set up in this device is designed to meet production needs and adopt batch drying production. Because glutinous corn has high viscosity and high moisture content after steaming and boiling, and the drying temperature cannot be high, it is difficult to dry it with other dryers. The glutinous corn drying bed uses electric heating as the heat source, and the heat source temperature is easy to control to a suitable temperature. It adopts a large ventilation method to allow the moisture of the steamed glutinous corn kernels to drop rapidly and dry. The dried glutinous corn kernels have a good color, are intact, and retain their nutritional value, thus meeting the requirements of snack food production and processing. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The utility model will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0020] Example 1

[0021] refer to Figures 1 to 3 Example 1 describes a drying bed 1 for a dryer. A stainless steel perforated mesh plate 2 is installed on the drying bed 1 and fixed to it with rivets. The stainless steel perforated mesh plate 2 is connected to a ventilation chamber 7 for a glutinous corn kernel drying bed. Three sets of centrifugal fans 4 are installed on one side of the ventilation chamber 7 and are in a connected state. A drying bed electric heater 5 and a drying bed thermometer 11 are installed on the drying bed 1. The thermometer 11 and the electric heater 5 are both connected to the drying bed electrical control box 6. A motor 12 is installed on one side of each centrifugal fan 4, and the bottom of the motor 12 is fixedly installed on a support frame 13. The ventilation chamber 7 for the glutinous corn kernel drying bed is welded from steel profiles and is divided into three groups, forming three ventilation chambers.

[0022] In this embodiment, the electric heater 5 of the drying bed can be electrically controlled to turn on the centrifugal fan 4 to ventilate, so that the hot dry air is blown toward the stainless steel mesh plate and glutinous corn kernels of the drying bed.

[0023] Example 2

[0024] refer to Figure 2 Example 2 is described below. This embodiment further describes Example 1. It includes a drying bed steel frame 8 and a drying bed enclosure 9 installed on the outer layer of the ventilation chamber 7 of the glutinous corn kernel drying bed. The ventilation chamber 7 of the glutinous corn kernel drying bed is divided into three parts by two drying bed ventilation chamber partitions 10. A stainless steel frame plate 3 of the drying bed is installed on the drying material bed 1 of the dryer. The stainless steel frame plate 3 of the drying bed is fixed to the drying bed steel frame 8 by screws.

[0025] In this embodiment, the installation of the drying bed steel frame 8 and the drying bed surrounding plate 9 ensures the strength of the entire drying bed 1 of the dryer.

[0026] In practical applications, after the glutinous corn kernels are steamed, they are spread evenly on the drying bed. The electric heater 5 of the drying bed is activated, and the centrifugal fan 4 is turned on to ventilate, allowing hot, dry air to blow onto the stainless steel mesh plate and glutinous corn kernels of the drying bed. This gradually reduces the moisture content of the glutinous corn kernels. When the moisture content is reduced to a level suitable for production, the power to the electric heater 5 and the centrifugal fan 4 is turned off, and the dried glutinous corn kernels are then sent to the next processing step. Because the glutinous corn kernel drying bed uses electric heating as the heat source, the heat source is gentle and easy to control. The glutinous corn kernels have good color, appearance, and integrity, resulting in high-quality, nutritious snack foods that are very popular.
