[0032] Example 1:

[0033] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the seed drying rack with rainproof and shielding function provided in this embodiment includes: a placement box 1 with T-shaped sliding tracks on both sides for placing seeds to be dried; a support and telescopic device including a base 2, which is set below the placement box 1 for supporting all components above; a seed uniform distribution device including a support plate 3, which is set above the placement box 1; and a rainproof and shielding device including a shielding frame 4, which is set above the placement box 1 and has T-shaped sliding tracks on both sides inside for providing rainproof space.

[0034] In this embodiment, the support and telescopic device and the rainproof and shielding device constitute the seed drying rack with rainproof and shielding functions involved in this application.

[0035] Specifically, the support and telescopic device also includes: wheels 201, fixedly connected to the base 2, for providing movement and steering of the entire drying rack; hydraulic pumps 202, two sets symmetrically fixedly arranged on the base 2, for providing power for lifting; scissor-type lifting components 203, two sets symmetrically arranged on the base 2, one end hinged to the hydraulic pump 202, and the other end hinged to the lower surface of the placement box 1, for realizing the lifting of the placement box 1.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the hydraulic pump 202 drives the scissor lift assembly 203 to extend and retract, thereby raising and lowering the placement box 1. The wheels 201 enable movement and steering, thus achieving the lifting and movement of the drying rack.

[0037] Example 2:

[0038] Based on Example 1, in order to further improve the drying efficiency, a seed uniformity device is arranged on the placement box 1;

[0039] Specifically, the seed uniformization device also includes: a silicone roller 301, fixedly attached to the bottom of the support plate 3, with its lower surface in contact with the inner wall of the placement box 1, used to agitate the plant seeds to be dried placed in the placement box 1; a sliding block 302, slidably connected in a groove opened in the placement box 1, with its upper end fixedly attached to the support plate 3; a lead screw 303, threadedly connected to the support plate 3, with one end rotatably connected to a side plate on one side of the placement box 1; and a knob 304, fixedly attached to the end of the lead screw 303 away from the side plate on the side of the placement box 1.

[0040] In this embodiment, knob 2 304 drives lead screw 303 to rotate, which in turn drives support plate 3 to move in the groove through sliding block 302. Silicone rod 301 stirs the seeds and dries them evenly.

[0041] Specifically, the support plate 3 is L-shaped.

[0042] In this embodiment, the L-shaped structure provides support.

[0043] Example 3:

[0044] Based on Example 2, in order to further improve the drying efficiency, a seed distribution device is arranged on the placement box 1;

[0045] Specifically, the rainproof and shading device also includes: a shed support column 401, one end of which is fixed to the placement box 1 and the other end of which is fixed to the shed frame 4, for supporting the rainproof and shading device; a rotating shaft 406, rotatably connected to the shed frame 4; a rainproof and shading cloth 402, slidably connected to the shed frame 4, one end of which is fixed to the rotating shaft 406, for providing shade for the seeds in rainy weather; and a limiting block 403, fixed to the shed frame 4. The positioning rod 404 is engaged at one end in a slot on the rotating shaft 406 and slidably connected in the middle of the limiting block 403, and is used to fix the rotating shaft 406. The return spring 405 is fixed at one end to one side of the canopy frame 4 and at the other end to the limiting block 403, and provides a return force for the positioning rod 404. The knob 407 is fixed at one end of the rotating shaft 406 and is used to drive the rotating shaft 406 to rotate, thereby retracting the rainproof cover 402.

[0046] With this setup, rotating knob 407 drives rotating shaft 406 to roll up the rainproof and protective cloth 402. Positioning rod 404, under the action of reset spring 405, engages with the slot to fix rotating shaft 406, thus protecting seeds from rain.

[0047] Specifically, one end of the rainproof cover 402 is fixed with a support rod, and the two ends of the support rod are T-shaped and fit into the sliding grooves on both sides inside the cover frame 4.

[0048] The rainproof and shielding cloth 402 is fixed to a support rod at one end, and the two ends of the support rod are T-shaped and fit the sliding grooves on both sides inside the shielding frame 4.

[0049] Specifically, the T-shaped groove is equipped with two sets of telescopic springs, one end of which is fixed to the inner wall of the canopy frame 4, and the other end is fixed to both ends of the support rod, providing force for the rainproof canopy 402 to unfold.

[0050] In this embodiment, the T-shaped groove is provided with two sets of telescopic springs, one end of which is fixed to the inner wall of the canopy frame 4, and the other end is fixed to both ends of the support rod, providing a force for the rainproof canopy 402 to unfold.

[0051] In actual use, when seeds need to be dried, the base 2 moves and turns using wheels 201. The hydraulic pump 202 drives the scissor lift assembly 203 to lift and lower the placement box 1, adjusting it to a suitable position. The seeds are placed in the placement box 1, and the knob 304 is manually turned to rotate the lead screw 303, causing the sliding block 302, which is slidably connected in the groove of the placement box 1, to move. This moves the support plate 3 and the silicone rod 301 below, which then presses against the inner wall of the placement box 1 to spread the seeds evenly. In rainy weather, the positioning rod 404 is manually pulled. The telescopic spring helps to unfold the rod, and the positioning rod 404 is then released. The positioning rod 404 is then locked into the groove by the return spring 405. The rainproof cover 402 slides along the groove of the cover frame 4 via the T-shaped support rod, covering the placement box 1. On a sunny day, manually pull the positioning rod 404 and turn the knob 407 to drive the grooved rotating shaft 406. When you release the positioning rod 404, it will be locked into the groove by the return spring 405, thus completing the folding of the rainproof cloth and ensuring the seed drying environment.

[0052] It should be noted that all components of this rainproof seed drying rack are coated with a fluorocarbon coating to prevent rainwater from corroding the frame.

[0053] It should also be noted that all electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power. The main controller can be a conventional known device that can be controlled by a computer or other means. The detailed description of known functions and known components is omitted in the specific implementation of this disclosure. In order to ensure the compatibility of the device, the operating methods used are consistent with the parameters of commercially available instruments.

[0054] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present 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. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
