Description

A grain dryer Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grain drying, and in particular to a grain dryer. Background Technology

[0002] After harvesting, grains need to be dried. In the past, conventional drying methods often involved spreading the grains on the ground to dry them, which not only posed a risk of them getting wet but also created certain safety hazards. With the development of machinery, a large number of drying equipment has emerged. In order to improve the efficiency of drying equipment, we have designed a grain dryer. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, adapt to practical needs, and provide a grain dryer, including a drying chamber, a fan, and a resistance heating tube; a resistance heating tube is provided on one side of the drying chamber, and a resistance heating wire is installed inside the resistance heating tube. One side of the resistance heating tube is connected to the fan, and the other side is connected to the side wall of the drying chamber. An exhaust port is provided on one side of the top of the drying chamber, and a feed inlet is provided on the other side; a material extraction pipe is vertically arranged in the middle of the drying chamber, and a spiral conveying rod is installed inside the material extraction pipe. The upper and lower ends of the spiral conveying rod extend out of the material extraction pipe. The upper end of the conveyor rod is equipped with a directional component that can move up and down. The main body of the directional component is a cap-shaped structure with an opening facing downwards. The size of the lower opening of the directional component is perfectly matched with that of the material extraction pipe. A downward-sloping connecting pipe is provided on one side of the directional component. A discharge pipe with the same inclination as the connecting pipe is provided on the side wall of the drying chamber on one side of the connecting pipe. The discharge pipe extends out of the drying chamber. When the directional component moves downwards to completely cover the material extraction pipe, the lower end of the connecting pipe and the upper end of the discharge pipe fit together. A motor is provided at the bottom of the drying chamber. The motor shaft extends into the drying chamber and is connected to the screw conveyor rod.

[0004] The material extraction pipe is fixed inside the drying chamber by a fixed crossbar.

[0005] The outer ring of the upper part of the feeding pipe is provided with an umbrella-shaped annular guiding edge.

[0006] The outer edge of the annular guide rail is arranged in a circular array with multiple guide grooves at different distances from the spiral conveyor rod.

[0007] A cylinder is installed at the top of the drying chamber, and the air pressure cylinder of the cylinder extends into the drying chamber and is fixedly connected to the steering component.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0009] This device uses a material extraction pipe and a rotating conveyor rod to flip the material up and down, allowing the material to be distributed throughout the drying chamber, greatly increasing the contact area with hot air and thus accelerating the drying efficiency. At the same time, the annular guide eaves and guide troughs further make the lateral distribution of the material more uniform, further accelerating the drying efficiency.
