Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seed drying technology, and in particular to a rapid drying device for crop seed production. Background Technology

[0002] As a fundamental input for agricultural production, the quality of crop seeds directly affects crop yield and quality. Modern seed production processes typically include several key stages: breeding, field management, harvesting, initial cleaning, drying, fine selection and grading, coating, packaging, and storage. Among these, drying, as one of the core processes in seed processing, plays a decisive role in ensuring seed viability and extending shelf life.

[0003] Currently, seed drying methods are mainly divided into two categories: natural drying and mechanical drying. While natural drying is less expensive, it is heavily dependent on weather conditions and suffers from inherent drawbacks such as long drying cycles and difficulty in controlling hygiene. In contrast, mechanical drying technology, due to its high efficiency and strong controllability, has become standard equipment in modern seed processing. A typical example of mechanical drying equipment is the seed drying device disclosed in utility model patent application number CN202323369213.5, which employs a hot air circulation system combined with a fixed drying chamber design. Although this device solves the problem of continuous production to some extent, significant drawbacks have been found in practical applications: First, due to the static drying chamber structure, the seeds lack effective turning during the drying process, resulting in hot air only acting on the surface seeds, leading to uneven heating of the internal seeds. Second, the fixed container design increases the resistance to hot air penetration, not only prolonging the drying time but also causing low energy utilization. Therefore, this application proposes a rapid drying device for crop seed production to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a rapid drying device for crop seed production, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A rapid drying device for crop seed production includes a dryer body. Rotating components are symmetrically mounted in pairs within the dryer body. A servo motor is fixedly mounted at the outer end of the dryer body. The output shaft of the servo motor is fixedly connected to one of the rotating components. A rotating container is fixedly mounted on each of the two symmetrically arranged rotating components. The rotating container consists of a first base plate, a T-shaped rod, two first U-shaped frames, a first mesh plate, and connecting plates. The T-shaped rod is fixedly mounted at one end of the first base plate. Two first U-shaped frames are symmetrically fixedly mounted at both ends of the first base plate. The first mesh plate is fixedly mounted at one end of the first base plate and the two first U-shaped frames. Two connecting plates are respectively fixedly mounted at one end of the two first U-shaped frames. A detachable container is detachably mounted on the rotating container. The detachable container consists of a second base plate, two second U-shaped frames, and a second mesh plate. Two second U-shaped frames are symmetrically fixedly mounted at both ends of the second base plate. The second mesh plate is fixedly mounted at one end of the second base plate and the two second U-shaped frames.

[0007] Preferably, the dryer body is equipped with a protective door.

[0008] Preferably, the rotating assembly consists of a rotating shaft and a mounting base plate. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the dryer body, and the mounting base plate is fixedly installed on the inner end of the rotating shaft, and the mounting base plate is also located inside the dryer body.

[0009] Preferably, the output shaft of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft on the rotating assembly.

[0010] Preferably, the connecting plate on the rotating container is fixedly connected to the mounting base plate on the rotating assembly by bolts.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the second substrate on the detachable container is provided with a T-shaped groove, and the second substrate is sleeved on the T-shaped rod on the rotating container through the T-shaped groove.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] By incorporating a rotating assembly, servo motor, rotating container, and detachable container into the main body of the dryer, the efficiency and uniformity of seed drying are significantly improved. Specifically, seeds are placed inside the rotating and detachable containers, and the servo motor drives the rotating and detachable containers to rotate via the rotating assembly, causing the seeds to continuously tumble within the containers during the drying process. This dynamic drying method effectively solves the problem of hot air only acting on the surface of seeds in traditional static drying, ensuring uniform heating inside and outside the seeds. The design of the first and second mesh plate structures not only reduces the resistance to hot air penetration but also significantly shortens the drying time while improving energy efficiency. Furthermore, the modular design of the detachable container greatly simplifies the seed loading and unloading process and facilitates the cleaning and maintenance of the equipment, further enhancing its practicality and operability.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 6As shown, a rapid drying device for crop seed production includes a dryer body 1. Rotating components 2 are symmetrically mounted in pairs within the dryer body 1. A servo motor 3 is fixedly mounted on the outer end of the dryer body 1. The output shaft of the servo motor 3 is fixedly connected to one of the rotating components 2. A rotating container 4 is fixedly mounted on each of the two symmetrically arranged rotating components 2. The rotating container 4 consists of a first base plate 9, a T-shaped rod 10, a first U-shaped frame 11, a first mesh plate 12, and a connecting plate 13. The T-shaped rod 10 is fixedly mounted on one end of the first base plate 9. Two first U-shaped frames 11 are symmetrically fixedly mounted on... At both ends of the first substrate 9, the first mesh plate 12 is fixedly installed on the first substrate 9 and one end of the two first U-shaped frames 11. There are two connecting plates 13, each fixedly installed on one end of the two first U-shaped frames 11. A detachable container 5 is detachably installed on the rotating container 4. The detachable container 5 consists of a second substrate 14, a second U-shaped frame 16, and a second mesh plate 17. There are two second U-shaped frames 16, which are symmetrically fixedly installed at both ends of the second substrate 14. The second mesh plate 17 is fixedly installed on the second substrate 14 and one end of the two second U-shaped frames 16. A protective door 6 is installed on the dryer body 1. When using it, first open... Open the protective door 6 on the dryer body 1, and remove the detachable container 5 from the rotating container 4. Specifically, slide the detachable container 5 along the T-shaped rod 10 to separate its T-shaped groove 15 from the T-shaped rod 10 of the rotating container 4. Then, evenly place the crop seeds to be dried into the detachable container 5, ensuring that the seeds are positioned on both sides of the second substrate 14, taking care that the amount of seeds does not exceed the bearing capacity of the second mesh plate 17. Next, reinstall the detachable container 5 containing the seeds onto the rotating container 4, ensuring that the T-shaped groove 15 of the second substrate 14 is fully fitted into the T-shaped rod 10 and secured. After closing the protective door 6, start the servo motor 3. The dryer body 1 blows hot air into its cavity, while the servo motor 3 drives the rotating shaft 7 of the rotating component 2 to rotate through the output shaft. This causes the mounting base plate 8 and the rotating container 4 and detachable container 5 fixed on it to rotate synchronously. During this rotation, the seeds fully contact the hot air through the first screen plate 12 and the second screen plate 17 to achieve uniform drying. After drying, the dryer body 1 and servo motor 3 are turned off. After the device stops running, the protective door 6 is opened, the detachable container 5 is taken out, and the dried seeds are poured out. Finally, the residue on the first screen plate 12 and the second screen plate 17 is cleaned for the next use.

[0023] Specifically, the rotating assembly 2 consists of a rotating shaft 7 and a mounting base plate 8. The rotating shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the dryer body 1. The mounting base plate 8 is fixedly installed on the inner end of the rotating shaft 7 and is also located inside the dryer body 1. The output shaft of the servo motor 3 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 7 on the rotating assembly 2. The connecting plate 13 on the rotating container 4 is fixedly connected to the mounting base plate 8 on the rotating assembly 2 by bolts. One end of the second base plate 14 on the detachable container 5 has a T-shaped groove 15. The second base plate 14 is fitted onto the T-shaped rod 10 on the rotating container 4 through the T-shaped groove 15. The aperture of the first screen plate 12 and the second screen plate 17 should be controlled within the range of 1-3 mm to ensure that seeds can be effectively prevented from leaking out while ensuring that hot air can penetrate fully and achieve uniform drying. When container 5 is placed on rotating container 4, rotating container 4 should be positioned above detachable container 5. At this time, the T-shaped groove 15 on the second base plate 14 of detachable container 5 needs to be aligned with the T-shaped rod 10 of rotating container 4 and slide horizontally along the direction of T-shaped rod 10 until the T-shaped groove 15 is completely fitted into T-shaped rod 10 and locked in place, ensuring that detachable container 5 is securely installed and seeds will not spill. When disassembling, rotating container 4 still needs to remain above detachable container 5 and slide detachable container 5 horizontally in the opposite direction to separate T-shaped groove 15 from T-shaped rod 10, thus completing the disassembly. During this process, the position of rotating container 4 should always prevent seeds from spilling from detachable container 5. The fit between T-shaped groove 15 and T-shaped rod 10 should be tight and without looseness to ensure that detachable container 5 will not detach from rotating container 4 during rotation.

[0024] Ultimately, by incorporating a rotating assembly 2, a servo motor 3, a rotating container 4, and a detachable container 5 on the dryer body 1, the efficiency and uniformity of seed drying are significantly improved. Specifically, the seeds are placed inside the rotating container 4 and the detachable container 5. The servo motor 3 drives the rotating container 4 and the detachable container 5 to rotate through the rotating assembly 2, causing the seeds to continuously tumble during the drying process. This dynamic drying method effectively solves the problem that hot air only acts on the surface of the seeds in traditional static drying, ensuring uniform heating inside and outside the seeds. The design of the first mesh plate 12 and the second mesh plate 17 not only reduces the resistance to hot air penetration but also significantly shortens the drying time and improves energy efficiency. In addition, the modular design of the detachable container 5 greatly simplifies the seed loading and unloading process and provides convenience for cleaning and maintenance of the equipment, further enhancing the practicality and operability of the equipment.

[0025] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
