Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dryer technology, specifically to a modular enclosure installation structure for a batch circulating grain dryer. Background Technology
[0002] Batch-type circulating grain dryers are basically modular structures, meaning they are made of multiple layers of boards stacked together. This raises the issue of connecting the lower and upper layers. In existing technology, the connection between the upper and lower layers is generally achieved by having the lower edge of the upper layer cover the upper edge of the lower layer. Due to manufacturing factors, there are certain errors in the thickness of the boards. Although the nominal dimensions are the same, the tolerances are inconsistent, leading to misalignment during installation. Furthermore, the connection between the two boards uses a pin-hole method, and there is a gap between the pin and the hole, making misalignment between the upper and lower boards easy. Because the lower edge of the upper layer covers the upper edge of the lower layer, when misalignment occurs, the upper edge of the lower layer usually protrudes beyond the lower edge of the upper layer. During use, the rice flows from top to bottom for extended periods, causing severe damage and cracking to the upper edge of the lower layer. Once this happens, maintenance becomes very difficult.

Detailed Implementation
[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.

[0024] Example 1: Modular enclosure installation structure for batch circulating grain dryer, including:
[0025] The upper enclosure 1 has a lower flange 2, which is located at the bottom of the upper enclosure 1. The lower flange 2 is fixedly connected to the upper enclosure 1 by means of integral molding or other methods. An inner limiting plate 3 is provided on the lower flange 2, which is fixedly connected to the lower flange 2 by means of integral molding or other methods. The orientation of the inner limiting plate 3 is opposite to the grain flow direction inside the upper enclosure 1.
[0026] The lower enclosure 4 has an upper flange 5 on it, which is located on the top of the lower enclosure 4. The upper flange 5 is fixedly connected to the lower enclosure 4 by means of integral molding or other methods. An outer limiting plate 6 is provided on the upper flange 5, which is fixedly connected to the upper flange 5 by means of integral molding or other methods. The orientation of the outer limiting plate 6 is opposite to the grain flow direction inside the lower enclosure 4. The lower flange 2 and the upper flange 5 are attached to each other and are fixed by fastening bolts 7 passing through the lower flange 2 and the upper flange 5. The outer limiting plate 6 and the lower flange 2 wrap around the inner limiting plate 3 and the upper flange 5.
[0027] Example 2: The only difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that the upper flange 5 and the lower flange 2 are further provided with an upper alignment groove 8 and a lower alignment groove 9, and an alignment component is inserted into the alignment groove and the lower alignment groove 9.
[0028] The upper alignment groove 8 is located on the lower flange 2, and the lower alignment groove 9 is located on the upper flange 5. The two are positioned correspondingly.

The alignment screw 15 is inserted into the through hole 14. The pull plate 16 is set at the end of the alignment screw 15. The pull plate 16 is fixedly connected to one end of the alignment screw 15 by integral molding or other means. The alignment nut 17 is set at the other end of the alignment screw and is threadedly connected to the alignment screw 15.
[0030] Working principle: In use, the upper panel 1 is hoisted to the top of the lower panel 4, so that the outer limiting plate 6 and the lower flange 2 surround the inner limiting plate 3 and the upper flange 5. The alignment screw 15 is inserted into the upper alignment groove 8 and the lower alignment groove 9. Then, the connecting block 12 is inserted into the upper alignment groove 8 and the lower alignment groove 9, and the alignment screw 15 is inserted into the through hole 14, so that the inner alignment plate 13 is attached to the side of the upper panel 1 and the lower panel 4 where the upper flange 5 and the lower flange 2 are not provided. The slot 11 is inserted into the alignment screw 15. The alignment nut 17 is tightened, so that the outer alignment plate 10 is attached to the side of the upper panel 1 and the lower panel 4 where the upper flange 5 and the lower flange 2 are provided under the pull of the pull plate 16, so that the upper flange 5 and the lower flange 2 are aligned.
