Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seed drying technology, and in particular to a seed drying device. Background Technology

[0002] In the seed technology industry, drying seeds is an essential step in the seed preparation process. Currently, there are two methods in the industry to remove moisture from seeds and make them dry: oven drying and natural sun drying. However, oven drying technology can sometimes damage or affect the characteristics of the seeds themselves, and it is also costly. Therefore, most people choose natural sun drying.

[0003] When seeds are naturally dried, a drying device is required. Currently, most existing drying devices are simple trough structures, requiring manual spreading and turning of the seeds for even drying. For large-scale seed drying operations, this manual work is extremely labor-intensive, and the outdoor drying process, especially in summer, poses a significant risk of heatstroke for workers. Therefore, this invention proposes a seed drying device to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a seed drying device. When drying seeds, the entire spreading and turning mechanism can be moved, and the seeds can be spread flat using a spreading plate. Both the spreading plate and the turning rake are slidably connected to the base. The positions and heights of the two can be adjusted synchronously relative to each other through the cooperation of the drive rod, gear, first rack, and second rack, so that the turning rake can be lowered to rake the spread seeds evenly.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A seed drying device includes a drying platform, a linear moving mechanism, and a spreading and turning mechanism. The drying platform has a mounting frame on top, and the linear moving mechanism is located inside the mounting frame. A moving connecting rod is mounted on the linear moving mechanism. The spreading and turning mechanism includes a base, a spreading plate, and a turning rake. The top of the base is connected to the lower end of the moving connecting rod. The spreading plate is slidably mounted on one side of the base, and the turning rake is mounted on the other side of the base. A first rack is provided on the inner wall of one end of the spreading plate, and a second rack is provided on the inner wall of one end of the turning rake. A drive rod is rotatably mounted on one end of the base, and a gear is mounted on one end of the drive rod. The gear meshes with the first and second racks. A seed dropping slot is provided on one side of the interior of the drying platform.

[0007] A further improvement is that the linear movement mechanism includes a linear lead screw, a guide rod, and a first reduction motor. The bottom of the mounting frame is an open structure. The linear lead screw is rotatably mounted inside the mounting frame. The linear lead screw is driven by the first reduction motor. The guide rod is located inside the mounting frame below the linear lead screw. The moving link is threadedly connected to the linear lead screw, and the moving link is slidably connected to the guide rod.

[0008] A further improvement is that the length of the spreading plate and the turning rake plate is adapted to the internal width of the drying platform, and a second reduction motor is installed on the base, and the drive rod is driven to rotate by the second reduction motor.

[0009] A further improvement is that: a baffle is provided inside the seed dropping groove, and an opening is provided on the drying platform, with one end of the baffle extending from the opening to the outside of the drying platform.

[0010] A further improvement is that a discharge collection trough is provided at the bottom of the seed dropping trough, and the length of the discharge collection trough is adapted to the length of the seed dropping trough.

[0011] A further improvement is that: the front and rear side walls of the movable link are provided with expansion mounting holes, and there are multiple expansion mounting holes.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model sets up a spreading and turning mechanism consisting of a base, a spreading plate, and a turning rake inside the drying platform, and connects the spreading and turning mechanism to the moving linkage on the linear moving mechanism. When drying seeds, the entire spreading and turning mechanism can be moved and the seeds can be spread flat using the spreading plate. In this utility model, both the spreading plate and the turning rake are slidably connected to the base. Their positions and heights can be adjusted synchronously relative to each other through the cooperation of the drive rod, gear, first rack, and second rack. This allows the turning rake to be lowered and then rake the spread seeds to achieve uniform drying. After the seeds are dried, the spreading plate can also push all the seeds into the seed drop trough for easy collection, which greatly improves the convenience of seed drying operations.

[0018] To deepen the understanding of this utility model, the following detailed description will be provided in conjunction with embodiments. These embodiments are only used to explain this utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0019] according to Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment proposes a seed drying device, including a drying platform 1, a linear moving mechanism, and a spreading and turning mechanism 2. The drying platform 1 has a mounting frame 3 on its top, and the mounting frame 3 houses the linear moving mechanism. The linear moving mechanism has a moving connecting rod 4. The spreading and turning mechanism 2 includes a base 201, a spreading plate 202, and a turning rake 203. The top of the base 201 is connected to the lower end of the moving connecting rod 4, and a spreading plate is slidably mounted on one side of the base 201. A seed-turning rake 203 is installed on the other side of the base 201, and a first rack 204 is provided on the inner wall of one end of the seed-turning rake 203. A second rack 205 is provided on the inner wall of one end of the base 201. A drive rod 206 is rotatably provided on one end of the base 201. A gear 207 is installed on one end of the drive rod 206. The gear 207 meshes with the first rack 204 and the second rack 205. A seed dropping groove 5 is provided on one side of the inside of the drying platform 1.

[0020] When using the seed drying device of this utility model, the seeds are manually poured into the drying platform 1. Then, the spreading and turning mechanism 2 is moved by activating the linear movement mechanism. Before the spreading and turning mechanism 2 moves, the position and height of the spreading plate 202 and the turning rake 203 are first adjusted. Spreading requires the use of the entire spreading plate 202. Therefore, by controlling the drive rod 206 to rotate, the gear 207 synchronously drives the spreading plate 202 and the turning rake 203, which are equipped with the first rack 204 and the second rack 205, to move on the base 201. At this time, the spreading plate 202 and the turning rake 203 move in opposite directions. When the spreading plate 202 moves down, the turning rake 203 moves up. At this time, the seeds can be leveled by the spreading plate 202, so that the seeds are evenly spread inside the drying platform 1 for drying. In this utility model, the spreading plate 202 can be adjusted in position and height to spread the seeds to the required thickness, which is highly flexible. After the seeds have been spread and dried for a period of time, the drive rod 206 is rotated in the opposite direction, causing the turning rake 203 to move down and the spreading plate 202 to move up. At this time, when the entire spreading and turning mechanism 2 moves, the seeds can be raked by the turning rake 203 to achieve uniform drying of the seeds.

[0021] The linear movement mechanism includes a linear lead screw 6, a guide rod 7, and a first geared motor 8. The bottom of the mounting frame 3 is an open structure. The linear lead screw 6 is rotatably mounted inside the mounting frame 3. The linear lead screw 6 is driven by the first geared motor 8. The guide rod 7 is located inside the mounting frame 3 below the linear lead screw 6. The moving link 4 is threadedly connected to the linear lead screw 6 and slidably connected to the guide rod 7. By starting the first geared motor 8, the linear lead screw 6 is driven to rotate, and then the moving link 4 moves synchronously on the linear lead screw 6 and the guide rod 7.

[0022] The lengths of the spreading plate 202 and the turning rake plate 203 are adapted to the internal width of the drying platform 1. A second reduction motor 208 is installed on the base 201, and the drive rod 206 is driven to rotate by the second reduction motor 208.

[0023] The seed dropping trough 5 is equipped with a baffle 9 inside, and the drying platform 1 has an opening 10. One end of the baffle 9 extends from the opening 10 to the outside of the drying platform 1. The bottom of the seed dropping trough 5 is equipped with a discharge collection trough 11, the length of which is adapted to the length of the seed dropping trough 5. When the seeds need to be collected after drying, the spreading plate 202 is lowered until the bottom of the spreading plate 202 is close to the bottom of the drying platform 1. Then, the entire spreading and turning mechanism 2 is moved so that the seeds can be pushed into the seed dropping trough 5 through the spreading plate 202. At this time, by sliding the baffle 9 to one side, the seeds will fall into the discharge collection trough 11. By placing a collection box or bag at the bottom of the discharge collection trough 11, the seeds can be collected in a centralized manner.

[0024] The movable connecting rod 4 has multiple expansion mounting holes 12 on its front and rear side walls. These expansion mounting holes 12 facilitate the installation of various components. For example, by installing a bird-repelling flag and connecting its pole to the expansion mounting hole 12, the flag moves during the paving and reseeding mechanism 2 to repel birds. Even when the paving and reseeding mechanism 2 is stationary, the flag still effectively repels birds.

[0025] This invention features a spreading and turning mechanism 2, consisting of a base 201, a spreading plate 202, and a turning rake 203, installed inside a drying platform 1. This spreading and turning mechanism 2 is connected to a moving link 4 on a linear motion mechanism. During seed drying, the entire spreading and turning mechanism 2 can be moved, and the spreading plate 202 can be used to spread the seeds evenly. Both the spreading plate 202 and the turning rake 203 are slidably connected to the base 201. Their relative positions can be adjusted synchronously through the cooperation of the drive rod 206, gear 207, first rack 204, and second rack 205. This allows the turning rake 203 to be lowered and used to rake the evenly spread seeds, achieving uniform drying. After seed drying, the spreading plate 202 can also push all the seeds into a seed drop trough 5 for easy collection, greatly improving the convenience of seed drying operations. The above describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
