[0002] Millet, as a common grain, has high nutritional value. It mainly contains carbohydrates, protein and amino acids, fat and fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. When storing millet, it is necessary to keep the storage environment dry. Moist air can cause bacteria and pests to grow in millet, which will lead to a decline in the quality of millet. Therefore, it is necessary to use a drying device for storage.
[0003] Existing storage devices for storing millet are usually simple storage boxes or containers with only a door and an inlet / outlet. Due to weather conditions, the inside of the device becomes damp, which can cause bacteria and pests to grow on the millet. At the same time, the millet piled up at the bottom is difficult to dry, and the desiccant has a certain shelf life and needs to be replaced, which is quite cumbersome. Therefore, a drying device for storing millet is proposed here. Summary of the Invention

The hopper door 222 of the discharge hopper 221 is closed, and new food desiccant is injected through the feed hopper 220, so that the new food desiccant fills the inner cavity of the drying box 200 and evaporates through the drying perforation 210, thereby maintaining the dry environment inside the storage box 100. The operation is convenient and the food desiccant can be easily replaced, which improves the drying effect.
[0027] In use, this invention works as follows: First, millet is placed in the storage box 100. Then, the drive motor 110 is started by the controller 170, which drives the rotating rod 111 and the stirring rod 112 to rotate, thus agitating the millet and preventing the millet at the bottom from becoming damp and breeding bacteria. Food insect repellent is placed into the insect repellent tube 130 and evaporates through the perforation 131 to fill the storage box 100, preventing the growth of pests. Food desiccant is injected into the drying box 200 through the feeding hopper 220 to keep the inner cavity of the storage box 100 dry, preventing the millet from becoming damp and breeding bacteria due to weather conditions.
[0028] When it is necessary to replace the food desiccant, the expired food desiccant in the desiccant box 200 is guided and slid to the discharge chamber 221 by opening the door 222 and discharged from the desiccant box 200 through the discharge chamber 221. The door 222 of the discharge chamber 221 is then closed, and new food desiccant is injected through the feed chamber 220 to fill the inner cavity of the desiccant box 200. The new food desiccant then evaporates through the drying perforation 210, thereby maintaining a dry environment inside the storage box 100. The operation is convenient and easy to replace the food desiccant.
[0029] It should be noted that the drive motor 110, solenoid valve 141, and controller 170 mentioned in the text are all existing technologies. The drive motor 110 is an electromagnetic device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy and vice versa, based on the law of electromagnetic induction. It can convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, and vice versa, and can also convert between different forms of electrical energy. The solenoid valve 141 consists of an electromagnet, a valve body, and a valve core. When the electromagnet is energized, it generates a magnetic field that attracts the valve core, connecting it to the valve seat and allowing fluid to flow. When the electromagnet is de-energized, the magnetic field disappears, and the valve core is subjected to spring pressure. It will return to the initial position, thereby cutting off the fluid passage. By controlling the on and off of the electromagnet, the fluid can be switched on and off and regulated. The principle of the controller 170 is as follows: The controller 170 includes a PLC and a memory. Specifically, when the PLC is running, the PLC performs a periodic cyclic scan according to the instruction step number or address number based on the program that the user has prepared according to the control requirements and stored in the user program memory. If there is no jump instruction, the user program is executed sequentially from the first instruction until the program ends. Then it returns to the first instruction and starts the next round of scanning. In each scan process, the input signal is sampled and the output status is refreshed.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
