Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of grain storage, and in particular to a grain conveyor with a drying chamber. Background Technology
[0002] A grain conveyor is a mechanical device specifically designed for transporting grain. It is widely used in agriculture, grain processing, warehousing and other industries. It uses mechanical devices to transport grain from one location to another, effectively improving the efficiency of grain transportation, reducing manual labor intensity, and ensuring the safety and hygiene of grain during transportation.
[0003] The most common type of grain conveyor is the belt grain conveyor, which generally consists of a conveyor belt, a support frame, and a conveyor motor. The support frame is inclined to support the conveyor belt, and then the conveyor motor drives the conveyor belt to move. Grain is then placed on the conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt moves the grain to the required position.
[0004] In the traditional grain transportation and storage process, it is impossible to deal with the problem of excessively high grain moisture content at the same time. In the processing of grains in humid climates or with high moisture content, it is often necessary to set up separate drying equipment, which leads to complex processes, large land area, and increased energy consumption. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this application is to address the problem mentioned in the background art that the traditional grain conveying and storage process cannot simultaneously handle grains with excessively high moisture content. In the processing of grains in humid climates or with high moisture content, it is often necessary to configure separate drying equipment, which leads to complex processes, large floor space requirements, and increased energy consumption. This application provides a grain conveyor with a drying chamber.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application specifically adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A grain conveyor with a drying chamber includes a support frame, on which two symmetrical support rollers are rotatably connected. A conveyor belt is drivenly connected to the two support rollers. A conveyor motor is fixed on the support frame, and the output end of the conveyor motor is fixedly connected to one of the support rollers. A drying chamber is fixed on the support frame, and a drying mechanism and a leveling mechanism are provided inside the drying chamber.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, during the process of the conveyor belt moving the grain, the grain passes through the drying chamber on the support frame. The drying mechanism in the drying chamber dries the grain as it passes through. When the conveyor belt moves the grain through the drying chamber, the leveling mechanism turns and flattens the grain, thereby simultaneously addressing the problem of excessively high grain moisture content. This reduces the need for additional independent drying equipment, which could lead to a complex process flow, large footprint, and increased energy consumption.
[0009] Furthermore, the drying mechanism includes a heating rod disposed inside the drying chamber. The heating rod is wavy and has several fixing buckles fixed on it. The fixing buckles are fixedly connected to the drying chamber. A circulation component is disposed inside the drying chamber, and several shielding strips are fixed at both ends of the drying chamber.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the heating rod heats the area inside the drying chamber, and then the circulation component discharges the water vapor dried inside the drying chamber, thereby facilitating the drying of grain passing through the drying chamber area.
[0011] Furthermore, the circulation assembly includes an air inlet fan fixed to the drying chamber, and an air outlet fan fixed to the end of the drying chamber away from the air inlet fan.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the water vapor in the drying chamber is sent to the outside of the drying chamber by the exhaust fan, and then the dry air from the outside is sent into the drying chamber by the intake fan, thereby improving the air flow in the drying chamber and improving the drying effect.
[0013] Furthermore, dustproof nets are fixed on both the air inlet fan and the air outlet fan.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, dustproof nets can be used to block dust in the air, thereby reducing the possibility of a large amount of dust being sent into the drying chamber, accumulating in the drying chamber, and adhering to the grain.
[0015] Furthermore, the leveling mechanism includes several rotating blocks that are symmetrically rotatably connected in pairs within the drying chamber. A tumbling auger is fixed between two symmetrical rotating blocks. A drive motor is fixed on the drying chamber, and the drive motor is fixedly connected to one of the rotating blocks. A synchronous rotation assembly is provided on the drying chamber.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating block drives the auger to turn the grain, thereby improving the grain drying effect.
[0017] Furthermore, the synchronous rotation assembly includes several drive gears rotatably connected to the drying chamber, the drive gears being fixedly connected to corresponding rotating blocks, and drive chains drivingly connecting the several drive gears.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when one of the rotating blocks rotates, the rotating block uses a drive gear to drive a drive chain, and the drive chain drives other drive gears, thereby making it convenient for several rotating blocks to drive the auger to rotate simultaneously.
[0019] Furthermore, two symmetrical limiting rods are provided between adjacent drive gears, and the two limiting rods are rotatably connected to the drying chamber, with the drive chain abutting against the limiting rods.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the position of the drive chain is limited by the limiting rod, thereby reducing the possibility of the drive chain disengaging from the drive gear.
[0021] Furthermore, the adjacent augers face opposite directions.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the adjacent turning screws face opposite directions, making the grain turn evenly, thereby reducing the accumulation of grain on one side of the conveyor belt.
[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial effects;
[0024] 1. This application heats the air inside the drying chamber with heating rods, and the baffles at both ends of the drying chamber block the drying area inside the drying chamber. The conveyor belt carries the grain through the drying chamber, and the dry air inside the drying chamber dries the grain. At the same time, the exhaust fan sends the water vapor inside the drying chamber to the outside of the drying chamber, and the intake fan sends the dry air outside into the drying chamber, so that the air inside the drying chamber is circulated. This achieves the goal of simultaneously dealing with the problem of excessive moisture content of grain while transporting grain, reducing the need for additional independent drying equipment, which leads to a complex process flow, large footprint, and increased energy consumption.
[0025] 2. In this application, by having a drive motor drive a rotating block to rotate, the rotating block drives a turning auger, which turns over the grain passing through. At the same time, the turning auger drives another rotating block to rotate, the rotating block drives a drive gear, and the drive gear drives a drive chain. Under the restriction of a limit rod, the drive chain drives other drive gears to rotate, and the drive gear drives the corresponding rotating block, which in turn drives the turning auger to turn over the grain passing through. This achieves the purpose of improving the drying effect of the grain and reducing the possibility of uneven drying caused by grain accumulation. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 —4 provides further detailed description of this application.
[0033] This application discloses a grain conveyor with a drying chamber.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A grain conveyor with a drying chamber includes a support frame 1, two symmetrical support rollers 3 rotatably connected to the support frame 1, a conveyor belt 2 drivingly connected to the two support rollers 3, a conveyor motor 4 fixed on the support frame 1, the output end of the conveyor motor 4 being fixedly connected to one of the support rollers 3, a drying chamber 5 fixed on the support frame 1, a drying mechanism 6 and a leveling mechanism 7 being provided inside the drying chamber 5.
[0035] When using this grain conveyor, the conveyor motor 4 drives the support roller 3 to rotate, which in turn drives the conveyor belt 2 to move. When conveying grain, the grain is moved onto the conveyor belt 2, and then the conveyor belt 2 carries the grain to the required location. During the movement of the grain carried by the conveyor belt 2, the grain passes through the drying chamber 5 on the support frame 1. The drying mechanism 6 inside the drying chamber 5 dries the grain as it passes through the drying chamber 5. When the conveyor belt 2 carries the grain through the drying chamber 5, the leveling mechanism 7 turns and flattens the grain, allowing the grain on the conveyor belt 2 to be fully turned and dried. By using the conveyor belt 2 to transport the grain through the drying chamber 5 on the support frame 1, and allowing the drying mechanism 6 inside the drying chamber 5 to dry the grain, the problem of excessively high grain moisture content can be addressed simultaneously during grain transport. This reduces the possibility of additional independent drying equipment, which could lead to a complex process flow, large footprint, and increased energy consumption.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The drying mechanism 6 includes a heating rod 61 installed in the drying chamber 5. The heating rod 61 is wavy and has several fixing buckles 63 fixed on it. The fixing buckles 63 are fixedly connected to the drying chamber 5. A circulation component 64 is installed in the drying chamber 5. Several shielding strips 62 are fixed at both ends of the drying chamber 5.
[0037] In addition, the circulation assembly 64 includes an air intake fan 641 fixed to the drying chamber 5, and an air outlet fan 642 fixed to the end of the drying chamber 5 away from the air intake fan 641.
[0038] Furthermore, dustproof nets 643 are fixed on both the air intake fan 641 and the air outlet fan 642.
[0039] The heating rod 61 is an electrically heated metal rod. When the heating rod 61, which is fixed to the fixing buckle 63, is energized, it heats the air inside the drying chamber 5. The shielding strips 62 at both ends of the drying chamber 5 block the drying area inside the drying chamber 5. The conveyor belt 2 carries the grain through the drying chamber 5, and the dry air inside the drying chamber 5 dries the grain. At the same time, the exhaust fan 642 sends the water vapor inside the drying chamber 5 to the outside of the drying chamber 5, and then the intake fan 641 sends the dry air from outside into the drying chamber 5, so that the air inside the drying chamber 5 circulates, improving the drying effect. By having the grain conveyed by the conveyor belt 2 pass through the drying chamber 5, the heating rod 61 heats the area inside the drying chamber 5, and the intake fan 641 and exhaust fan 642 circulate the air inside the drying chamber 5, the problem of excessive moisture content of grain can be dealt with simultaneously, reducing the possibility of additional independent drying equipment, which would lead to a complex process flow, large footprint, and increased energy consumption.
[0040] Refer to 2. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The leveling mechanism 7 includes several rotating blocks 71 that are symmetrically rotatably connected in pairs inside the drying chamber 5. A tumbling auger 72 is fixed between two symmetrical rotating blocks 71. A drive motor 73 is fixed on the drying chamber 5. The drive motor 73 is fixedly connected to one of the rotating blocks 71. A synchronous rotation assembly 74 is provided on the drying chamber 5.
[0041] In addition, the synchronous rotation assembly 74 includes a number of drive gears 731 rotatably connected to the drying chamber 5. The drive gears 731 are fixedly connected to the corresponding rotating blocks 71, and the drive gears 731 are connected by a drive chain 732.
[0042] Furthermore, two symmetrical limiting rods 733 are provided between adjacent drive gears 731. The two limiting rods 733 are rotatably connected to the drying chamber 5, and the drive chain 732 abuts against the limiting rods 733.
[0043] Furthermore, the adjacent augers 72 are facing opposite directions.
[0044] When the conveyor belt 2 carries the grain through the drying chamber 5, the drive motor 73 drives the rotating block 71 to rotate. The rotating block 71 drives the auger 72 to turn over the grain. At the same time, the auger 72 drives the other rotating block 71 to rotate. The rotating block 71 drives the drive gear 731, which in turn drives the drive chain 732. Under the restriction of the limit rod 733, the drive chain 732 drives other drive gears 731 to rotate. The drive gears 731 drive the corresponding rotating blocks 71, which in turn drive the auger 72 to turn over the grain. Adjacent augers 72 face opposite directions, ensuring that the grain is turned over evenly and reducing the accumulation of grain on one side of the conveyor belt 2. By having the conveyor belt 2 carry the grain through the drying chamber 5 and having several augers 72 turn over the grain, the drying effect of the grain can be improved, and the possibility of uneven drying due to grain accumulation can be reduced.
[0045] Working principle: When using this grain conveyor, the conveyor motor 4 drives the support roller 3 to rotate, which in turn drives the conveyor belt 2 to move. The grain is moved onto the conveyor belt 2, which then carries it to the desired location. During this movement, the grain passes through the drying chamber 5 on the support frame 1. Heating rods 61 heat the air inside the drying chamber 5. The baffles 62 at both ends of the drying chamber 5 block the drying area. The conveyor belt 2 carries the grain through the drying chamber 5, where the dry air dries it. Simultaneously, an exhaust fan 642 expels water vapor from the drying chamber 5 to the outside, and an intake fan 642... 41. Dry air from outside is introduced into the drying chamber 5, causing airflow within the chamber. The rotating block 71 drives the auger 72, which agitates the grain passing through. Simultaneously, the auger 72 drives the rotating block 71 at the other end to rotate. The rotating block 71 drives the drive gear 731, which in turn drives the drive chain 732. Under the constraint of the limit rod 733, the drive chain 732 drives other drive gears 731 to rotate. The drive gears 731 then drive the corresponding rotating block 71, which in turn drives the auger 72, agitating the grain passing through. This agitation process dries the grain. Then, the conveyor belt 2 moves the grain out of the drying chamber 5 and transports it to the corresponding location.
