Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to air shower equipment, specifically an air shower equipment for corn processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the corn processing industry, air shower equipment is one of the key pieces of equipment to ensure the quality of corn processing. After harvesting, washing, and other processing stages, corn leaves a large amount of residual moisture on its surface. If this moisture is not removed in time, it will not only affect subsequent processing, such as drying and storage, but also easily lead to mold and spoilage, reducing product quality and economic benefits. Therefore, efficient air shower equipment is of great significance for removing surface moisture from corn and improving the quality of corn processing.

[0003] Currently, existing corn processing air-drying equipment on the market has many problems in practical applications. Some equipment has poorly designed drying components, a simplistic fan layout, and uneven airflow distribution, resulting in inconsistent drying effects on the corn surface, with some areas retaining significant moisture and failing to achieve the desired drying results. Furthermore, these devices lack effective air guiding devices, leading to turbulent airflow within the equipment, which not only wastes energy but also reduces drying efficiency.

[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail.

[0026] Example 1, by Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a corn processing air shower device, comprising:

[0027] Frame 1, with a support structure at the bottom and legs 2;

[0028] The drive mechanism is mounted on the frame 1;

[0029] An annular conveyor belt 4 is disposed inside the frame 1 and driven by the drive mechanism;

[0030] The air drying assembly includes a fixed frame 5 located at the top of the frame 1 and a plurality of fans 6 mounted on the fixed frame 5, wherein the air outlet of the fans 6 faces the bearing surface of the annular conveyor belt 4.

[0031] The air guiding device includes a plurality of arc-shaped guide plates 8 arranged circumferentially along the inner side of the annular conveyor belt 4, and the inner surface of the arc-shaped guide plates 8 forms an air guiding curved surface that intersects with the running direction of the annular conveyor belt 4.

[0032] A liquid collection hopper 9 is located below the annular conveyor belt 4;

[0033] The airflow output by the fan 6 passes through the guide surface to form a secondary air drying airflow channel around the bottom of the annular conveyor belt 4, and the bottom of the arc-shaped guide plate 8 is provided with a drain hole 10 that connects to the liquid collection hopper 9.

[0034] The frame 1 has a support structure at its bottom, namely the support legs 2, which provide stable support for the equipment and ensure its stability during operation. Its robust frame design can withstand the weight of the various components of the equipment as well as the vibrations generated during operation.

[0035] The drive motor 3 is mounted on the frame 1 and serves as the power source for the equipment, providing power for the operation of the circular conveyor belt 4. Through precise power transmission, the circular conveyor belt 4 is ensured to run at a stable speed, thereby achieving continuous conveying of corn.

[0036] The circular conveyor belt 4 is located inside the frame 1 and is driven by a drive mechanism. Its mesh size is 15%-30% and the mesh opening diameter is 2-5mm. This design ensures the stability of the corn during the conveying process and allows the airflow to penetrate fully, effectively removing moisture from the surface of the corn.

[0037] The drying assembly includes a fixed frame 5 located at the top of the frame 1 and multiple fans 6 mounted on the fixed frame 5. The fans 6 are arranged in a staggered array along the traveling direction of the circular conveyor belt 4, with adjacent fans 6 forming an angle of 5°-15° at their outlets. This arrangement ensures that the airflow evenly covers the bearing surface of the circular conveyor belt 4, guaranteeing that all parts of the corn are thoroughly dried. The outlets of the fans 6 face the bearing surface of the circular conveyor belt 4, allowing direct airflow drying of the corn on the conveyor belt.

[0038] The air guiding device includes multiple arc-shaped guide plates 8 arranged circumferentially along the inner side of the annular conveyor belt 4. The inner surface of the arc-shaped guide plate 8 forms an air guiding surface intersecting the running direction of the annular conveyor belt 4. This air guiding surface has a wrap angle of 80°-120°, and its radius of curvature is 1.2:1-1.5:1 to the bending radius of the annular conveyor belt 4. This design allows the airflow output by the fan 6 to form a secondary drying airflow channel around the bottom of the annular conveyor belt 4 through the air guiding surface, further enhancing the drying effect. At the same time, the air guiding device also includes a guide plate 11 located at the end of the arc-shaped guide plate 8. The guide plate 11 forms an acute angle of 30°-60° with the annular conveyor belt 4, which can guide the airflow in an orderly manner and avoid airflow turbulence.

[0039] The liquid collection hopper 9 is located below the annular conveyor belt 4 and is used to collect the moisture dripping from the surface of the corn during the air-drying process. The bottom of the arc-shaped guide plate 8 is provided with a drain hole 10 that connects to the liquid collection hopper 9. The drain holes 10 are distributed at intervals along the width direction of the arc-shaped guide plate 8, with a hole spacing of 50-100mm and a hole diameter of 3-8mm, to ensure that the moisture can flow smoothly into the liquid collection hopper 9 and keep the inside of the equipment dry and clean.

[0040] Working Principle: When in use, this corn processing air-drying equipment achieves efficient drying of corn through the coordinated operation of multiple components. After the equipment starts, the drive motor 3, as the power core, precisely transmits power to the circular conveyor belt 4, enabling it to start stable operation. The corn to be dried is placed on the circular conveyor belt 4, and as the conveyor belt moves, the corn enters the drying area inside the equipment.

[0041] At this point, the fans 6 mounted on the top mounting bracket 5 of the frame 1 begin to operate. The fans 6 are arranged in a staggered array along the direction of travel of the circular conveyor belt 4, with adjacent fans 6 forming an angle of 5°-15° at their outlets. This design ensures that the airflow evenly covers the bearing surface of the circular conveyor belt 4. The airflow is directed vertically downwards, directly acting on the corn on the conveyor belt to initially remove moisture from the corn's surface, thus initiating the corn drying process.

[0042] After initial air drying, the corn continues to move along the circular conveyor belt 4. During this process, the airflow output by the blower 6 encounters an arc-shaped guide plate 8 arranged circumferentially along the inner side of the circular conveyor belt 4. The inner surface of the arc-shaped guide plate 8 is a guide surface intersecting the running direction of the circular conveyor belt 4. This guide surface has a wrap angle of 80°-120°, and its radius of curvature is 1.2:1-1.5:1 to the bending radius of the circular conveyor belt 4. Guided by the guide surface, the airflow direction changes, forming a secondary airflow channel surrounding the bottom of the circular conveyor belt 4. The secondary airflow blows the corn again from the bottom and sides, further removing moisture from the surface and crevices of the corn, enhancing the drying effect. The guide plate 11 at the end of the arc-shaped guide plate 8 forms an acute angle of 30°-60° with the circular conveyor belt 4, which can organize the airflow, making it more orderly and avoiding the impact of airflow turbulence on drying efficiency.

[0043] Throughout the drying process, moisture on the corn surface is continuously blown off by the airflow. Because the mesh size of the annular conveyor belt 4 is 15%-30% with a mesh opening diameter of 2-5mm, moisture can easily pass through the mesh and fall off. Simultaneously, the drainage holes 10 at the bottom of the arc-shaped guide plate 8 are spaced apart along the width direction, with a hole spacing of 50-100mm and a hole diameter of 3-8mm. Under the action of the secondary drying airflow, some moisture flows along the arc-shaped guide plate 8 to the drainage holes 10. Finally, all this moisture collects in the collection hopper 9 below the annular conveyor belt 4, completing the collection and discharge of moisture, ensuring the dryness inside the equipment, and ensuring the continuous, stable, and efficient drying process.

[0044] Beneficial effects: High-efficiency air drying: The fans are arranged in a staggered array along the direction of travel of the circular conveyor belt, and the air outlet angle of adjacent fans forms an angle of 5°-15°, so that the airflow can evenly cover the bearing surface of the circular conveyor belt, ensuring that all parts of the corn are fully dried; at the same time, the air guiding surface formed by the inner surface of the arc-shaped guide plate, combined with its 80°-120° wrapping angle and specific radius of curvature, guides the airflow output by the fans to form a secondary air drying airflow channel around the bottom of the circular conveyor belt, realizing secondary air drying of the corn and significantly improving the drying efficiency and effect.

[0045] Good airflow guidance: The guide plate forms an acute angle of 30°-60° with the circular conveyor belt, which can effectively guide the orderly flow of airflow, avoid airflow turbulence, and allow the drying airflow to act more smoothly on the corn surface, further optimizing the drying effect, while reducing noise caused by chaotic airflow.

[0046] Superior conveyor design: The circular conveyor belt has a mesh rate of 15%-30% and a mesh diameter of 2-5mm, which not only ensures the stability of corn during the conveying process and prevents it from falling, but also allows airflow to penetrate fully, enhancing the removal of moisture during the drying process and achieving efficient integrated corn conveying and drying.

[0047] Convenient drainage: The drainage holes at the bottom of the arc-shaped guide plate are distributed at intervals along the width direction, with a hole spacing of 50-100mm and a hole diameter of 3-8mm. This allows the water dripping from the corn surface to be guided into the collection hopper in a timely manner, effectively preventing water accumulation inside the equipment, keeping the equipment dry and clean, reducing the risk of equipment damage caused by moisture, extending the service life of the equipment, and also helping to maintain the hygiene of the corn processing environment.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
