Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying equipment technology, and in particular to a rotary malt drying rake. Background Technology
[0002] When malt enters the tower-type cylindrical drying chamber, the area closest to the center cylinder, being the discharge point, has a higher malt density due to the impact of gravity and the compression of the auger compared to the malt at the edges. Therefore, under the same temperature conditions, the malt in the center cylinder requires significantly longer drying time than the malt at the edges. According to on-site statistics, this drying time is approximately four hours longer, resulting in substantial waste of steam and electricity, reduced production efficiency, and significantly increased labor and material costs. Currently, the common method is for workers to enter the drying chamber at temperatures exceeding 70°C and manually loosen the malt in the center cylinder using hand-held rakes. This method is not only inefficient but also poses significant safety hazards for workers operating in the high-temperature drying chamber. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention provides a rotary malt drying rake, which includes a mounting frame and rake teeth. The mounting frame is used to connect with the main beam of the malt turning machine. The length direction of the mounting frame is arranged along the length direction of the main beam of the malt turning machine. The rake teeth are located at the bottom of the mounting frame and face downward.
[0006] Preferably, the rake teeth are rotatably connected to the mounting frame via a flipping component.
[0007] Preferably, the flipping component is a hinge.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0026] A specific embodiment of this utility model provides a flipping malt drying rake, combined with an attached... Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 7 As shown, it mainly includes a mounting frame 1 and a rake tooth 2. The mounting frame 1 is used to connect with the main beam 3 of the wheat turning machine. The length of the mounting frame 1 is set along the length of the main beam 3 of the wheat turning machine. The rake tooth 2 is set at the bottom of the mounting frame 1 and faces downward. In this way, the rake tooth 2 is set on the main beam 3 of the wheat turning machine through the mounting frame 1. With the help of the cloth-walking machine, the denser malt can be loosened while cloth is being laid, so that the malt in the entire drying box has the same looseness. Thus, all the malt can achieve the same degree of drying effect. This reduces the drying process, avoids the waste of steam and electricity, improves efficiency, and most importantly, avoids the great safety hazards of workers entering the high-temperature drying box for construction.
[0027] In a specific embodiment of this application, the rake teeth 2 and the mounting frame 1 are rotatably connected by a flipping member 4. By setting the flipping member 4, the rake teeth 2 can be flipped relative to the mounting frame 1. In this way, when it is necessary to loosen the malt, the rake teeth can be put down for rakeing, and when not in use, the rake teeth 2 can be flipped and put away. This avoids the rake teeth 2 from damaging the malt by walking in the malt for a long time, and avoids the risk of falling off due to the resistance of the malt, which could scratch the screen plate.
[0028] Specifically, the flipping component 4 can be a hinge. The hinge can be a heavy-duty hinge to ensure strong structural strength, and multiple rake teeth 2 can be installed simultaneously using a single hinge.
[0029] It should be noted that the hinge flipping direction is opposite to the moving direction of the main beam 3 of the wheat turning machine, so as to avoid the problem that the rake teeth 2 will swing during the turning process and fail to achieve the turning effect.
[0030] In some embodiments, the rake teeth 2 are rods, with the top of the rod connected to the mounting bracket 1. The rod is a cylindrical structure, specifically a stainless steel column or a tube structure with a sealed bottom. This reduces damage to the malt.
[0031] In some embodiments, there are multiple rods, which are evenly arranged along the length of the mounting frame 1, with the rod structures arranged side by side, and connected to the mounting frame 1 by hinges.
[0032] In some embodiments, in conjunction with the appendix Figure 5 and attached Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a drive mechanism 5 and a mounting base 6. The mounting base 6 is mounted on the mounting frame 1, with one end connected to the mounting frame 1 and the other end facing away from the mounting frame 1. One end of the drive mechanism 5 is hinged to the end of the mounting base 6 away from the mounting frame 1, and the other end is hinged to the rod. Multiple rods can also be connected to the drive mechanism 5. Multiple rods can be driven simultaneously and synchronously by a single drive mechanism 5. The drive mechanism 5 can be a hydraulic cylinder, pneumatic cylinder, electric actuator, or other mechanism capable of linear drive.
