[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a seed uniform drying device, including a support plate 1, a drive assembly, a bottom support structure, and a seed drying area. The support plate 1 has an annular seed drying pool 2 inside. The annular design increases the drying area and facilitates the rotation of the drive rod. A drive seat 3 is installed at the center of the seed drying pool 2. The top of the drive seat 3 is connected to an electric drive rotating shaft 4 via a coupling. A reinforcing interconnecting block 5 is bolted to the left end of the electric drive rotating shaft 4. A drive rod 7 is connected to the left side of the reinforcing interconnecting block 5. A second reinforcing interconnecting block 6 is bolted to the right end of the electric drive rotating shaft 4. A second drive rod 8 is connected to the right side of the reinforcing interconnecting block 6. The reinforcing interconnecting blocks enhance the connection stability and ensure stable power transmission. Both the first drive rod 7 and the second drive rod 8 are horizontally arranged above the seed drying pool 2, providing operating space for turning the seeds.

[0024] Five contact rods 9 are evenly distributed along the length of the bottom of the drive rod 7, which can turn over seeds in different positions. Contact rods 10 are provided on the left and right ends of the bottom of the drive rod 7, respectively, for handling seeds in the edge area. Both contact rods 9 and 10 extend downward perpendicularly to the drive rod 7, and the bottom of both contact rods 9 and 10 can be detachably connected to a replaceable flexible connector 11 for easy replacement after wear. The replaceable flexible connector 11 is made of elastic rubber, which can avoid damaging the seeds while ensuring the turning effect.

[0025] The bottom left end of the driving rod 2 8 is provided with a support plate 12, and the bottom right end of the driving rod 2 8 is provided with a support plate 13. The support plates provide stable support for the contact plate 14. Both the support plate 12 and the support plate 13 extend downward perpendicularly to the driving rod 2 8, and the bottom of both the support plate 12 and the support plate 13 are connected to the contact plate 14 by bolts, which facilitates installation and disassembly. The bottom surface of the contact plate 14 is in contact with the bottom surface of the inner wall of the seed drying pool 2. When rotating, it can push the seeds piled up at the bottom of the pool to the sides to prevent uneven drying.

[0026] The seed drying tank 2 has a seed discharge hole 15 at the rear end and a seed discharge hole 27 at the front end. The dual-hole design improves the flexibility of seed discharge. Both the seed discharge hole 15 and the seed discharge hole 27 penetrate the side wall of the support plate 1. A cover plug 16 is detachably installed in the seed discharge hole 15, and a cover plug 28 is detachably installed in the seed discharge hole 27. The holes are sealed during drying to prevent seed leakage, and the cover plugs can be removed during seed discharge, making the operation simple.

[0027] Both the bottom outer walls of the seed discharge hole 15 and the seed discharge hole 2 are fixed with bottom discharge connectors 19 to provide guidance for seed discharge. The bottom discharge connectors 19 are provided with outwardly expanding discharge holes 20 inside. The diameter of the outwardly expanding discharge holes 20 gradually increases from the end connected to the seed discharge hole to the outside, which can reduce seed discharge resistance, avoid blockage, and improve seed discharge efficiency.

[0028] The bottom center of the bearing plate 1 is bolted to a bottom mounting box 21 for easy installation and disassembly. The bottom of the bottom mounting box 21 is welded with a floor plate 22 to increase the contact area with the ground, enhance overall stability, and ensure stable operation of the device in different site environments.

[0029] Working principle: The seeds are dried evenly through the coordinated operation of various structures. First, the seeds to be dried are poured into the annular seed drying pool 2 inside the bearing plate 1. The covering plugs 16 and 18 inside the seed discharge hole 15 and seed discharge hole 27 are closed to ensure that the seeds are temporarily stored in the pool. In the bottom support structure, the bottom position setting box 21 at the bottom of the bearing plate 1 is fixed by bolts, and the bottom plate 22 provides stable support to ensure the stability of the whole device during operation. After the drive assembly is started, the drive base 3 drives the electric drive rotating shaft 4 to rotate through the coupling. The reinforcing interconnecting blocks 5 and 6 at both ends of the electric drive rotating shaft 4 drive the left side respectively. The driving rod 7 and the driving rod 8 on the right side rotate synchronously. When the driving rod 7 rotates, the five contact rods 9 evenly distributed along the length of its bottom, as well as the contact rods 10 at the left and right ends, will rotate with the rod body above the seed drying tank 2. The replaceable flexible joints 11 at the bottom of the contact rods 9 and 10 penetrate into the seed layer to turn and disperse the seeds, avoiding local accumulation. At the same time, when the driving rod 8 rotates, the support plate 12 at the left end and the support plate 13 at the right end drive the contact plate 14 to rotate against the bottom of the inner wall of the seed drying tank 2, pushing the seeds accumulated at the bottom of the tank to the surrounding area, further ensuring uniform seed distribution and improving the drying effect.

[0030] After drying, remove the first cover plug 16 or the second cover plug 18. The seeds enter the bottom discharge connector 19 through the first seed discharge hole 15 and the second seed discharge hole 17. They are discharged quickly through the outwardly expanding discharge hole 20 inside the bottom discharge connector 19, with the hole diameter gradually increasing from the inside to the outside, avoiding blockage and completing the entire drying process.
