Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grain processing technology, and in particular to a grain elevator for grain drying. Background Technology

[0002] To prevent grains from getting damp, grain elevators are often used. These are large mechanical devices that transport grains by changing their potential energy, moving them from the bottom to a higher position. During the falling process, the grains are dried. Elevating equipment is also frequently used to transport grains in the drying and processing of grains.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese invention patent CN211520672U, which discloses a grain elevator for a grain dryer. The grain elevator includes a storage mechanism; a drive mechanism; a conveying mechanism rotatably connected to the interior of the storage mechanism, comprising a fixing bar, a fixing plate, a conveyor belt, and a conveying funnel; the conveyor belt is slidably connected to the interior of the storage mechanism; the conveying funnels, with trapezoidal cross-sections, are equidistantly installed on the sidewalls of the conveyor belt, and the fixing bar is slidably connected to both ends of the conveyor belt; the fixing bar is installed on the bottom surface of the fixing plate, which is symmetrically installed at the bottom of the storage mechanism and slidably connected to the sidewall of the conveying funnel; a fixing mechanism is installed inside the storage mechanism and slidably connected to the conveyor belt; and a feeding funnel. While this device effectively solves the problem of grain accumulating at the bottom, during use, friction generates debris when the grain is transported to the top. This causes dust to fly when the grain is discharged from top to bottom, which can be inhaled by nearby workers. Therefore, a grain elevator for grain drying is provided. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a grain elevator for grain drying, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a grain elevator for grain drying, comprising: a drying mechanism body, wherein two mounting frames are provided inside the drying mechanism body, each mounting frame has a conveyor wheel on its inner wall, and a belt is fitted around the outer wall of each conveyor wheel; and further comprising:

[0006] A flipping component is provided on both sides of the inner wall of the drying mechanism body, and multiple components are provided, for flipping the grain conveyed on the belt.

[0007] A conveyor, located at the edge of the belt, is used to drive the tilting component to rotate;

[0008] A vacuum pump is provided on one side wall of the drying mechanism body, and the input end of the vacuum pump is connected to a gas supply pipe. One end of the gas supply pipe passes through the upper surface of the drying mechanism body and extends into its interior.

[0009] Preferably, the flipping component includes a rotating shaft rotatably disposed between the two sides of the inner wall of the drying mechanism body, with gears fixedly sleeved at both ends of the outer wall of the rotating shaft, and a plurality of fan plates fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft.

[0010] Preferably, the conveyor includes protective belts disposed on both sides of the belt, and each protective belt has a toothed belt on one side wall.

[0011] Preferably, the toothed belt is meshed with the corresponding gears on both sides.

[0012] Preferably, a base is rotatably mounted on the lower end of the drying mechanism body, and a cylinder is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the base and the lower surface of the drying mechanism body.

[0013] Preferably, the drying mechanism body has a feed inlet and a controller at the lower end, and a discharge outlet at the upper end.

[0014] Preferably, two drive wheels are provided through one side of the drying mechanism body, and a drive belt is sleeved on the outer wall of the two drive wheels, and the two drive wheels are respectively connected to the corresponding transmission wheels;

[0015] A motor is installed on the other side wall of the drying mechanism body, and the output end of the motor is connected to one of the transmission wheels.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. The rotation of the belt drives the toothed belt to rotate, which in turn drives the gears to rotate. This causes the fan plate above the conveyor belt to turn over the grain on the belt, thus causing the dust and debris in the grain to fly away. The dust and debris in the grain are then discharged by the cooperation between the air pump and the air pipe.

[0018] 2. This design reduces the need for screening grains and dust in the later stages. At the same time, the flipping of the fan plates not only turns the grains over but also accelerates airflow and speeds up the drying process.

[0019] 3. This design eliminates the need for additional power, saving electricity and preventing grain from slipping off the conveyor belt, making it highly practical. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0034] A grain elevator for drying grain includes: a drying mechanism body 1, with two mounting brackets 11 inside the drying mechanism body 1. Each mounting bracket 11 has a conveyor wheel 12 on its inner wall, and a belt 15 is fitted onto the outer wall of the conveyor wheel 12. The elevator also includes:

[0035] The flipping parts 7 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the drying mechanism body 1, and there are multiple of them, for flipping the grain conveyed on the belt 15.

[0036] The conveyor 8 is located at the edge of the belt 15 and is used to drive the tilting component 7 to rotate.

[0037] A vacuum pump 10 is provided on one side wall of the drying mechanism body 1, and the input end of the vacuum pump 10 is connected to a gas supply pipe 2. One end of the gas supply pipe 2 passes through the upper surface of the drying mechanism body 1 and extends into its interior.

[0038] Specifically, the flipping component 7 includes a rotating shaft 72 rotatably disposed between the two sides of the inner wall of the drying mechanism body 1. Gears 71 are fixedly sleeved at both ends of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 72, and several fan plates 73 are fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 72.

[0039] Specifically, the conveyor 8 includes protective belts 82 disposed on both sides of the belt 15, and toothed belts 81 are provided on one side wall of each protective belt 82.

[0040] Specifically, the toothed belt 81 is meshed with the corresponding gears 71 on both sides.

[0041] Specifically, a base 4 is rotatably mounted on the lower end of the drying mechanism body 1, and a cylinder 3 is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the base 4 and the lower surface of the drying mechanism body 1.

[0042] Specifically, the drying mechanism body 1 has a feed inlet 6 and a controller 5 at the lower end, and a discharge outlet 9 at the upper end.

[0043] Specifically, two drive wheels 13 are provided through one side of the drying mechanism body 1, and a drive belt 14 is sleeved on the outer wall of the two drive wheels 13, and the two drive wheels 13 are respectively connected to the corresponding transmission wheels 12.

[0044] A motor 16 is provided on the other side wall of the drying mechanism body 1, and the output end of the motor 16 is connected to one of the transmission wheels 12.

[0045] Example 1: This example refers to... Figures 1 to 5 To address the issue of excessive dust generation from top to bottom during grain drying, the following specific technologies are employed:

[0046] The controller 5 in the device is electrically connected to the power supply beforehand (existing technology). At the same time, the cylinder 3 is used to adjust the drying mechanism body 1 to a 30-degree angle with the base 4. Then, the output end of the motor 16 drives one of the transmission wheels 12 and the drive wheel 13. With the assistance of the transmission belt 14, both drive wheels 13 are rotated, which drives the other transmission wheel 12 to rotate and the belt 15 to run. By putting the grain into the feed port 6, it can be lifted by the belt 15. Since the belt 15 is provided with a protective belt 82 and a toothed belt 81 on both sides, and a rotating shaft 72, a gear 71 and a fan plate 73 are provided on the inner wall of the drying mechanism body 1 above the belt 15, the operation of the toothed belt 81 will drive multiple gears 71 to rotate at the same time, which can effectively turn the grain. During the turning process, the air pump 10 will discharge the gas in the air supply pipe 2 to the outside, so that a negative pressure state is formed in the air supply pipe 2, which can easily suck the dust that is turned up into the air supply pipe 2 and discharge it for collection.

[0047] Example 2: This example is based on Example 1, with reference to... Figures 1 to 5 To address the problem, the specific technology is as follows: The toothed belt 81 drives the gear 71, the rotating shaft 72, and the fan plate 73 to rotate. Since the feed inlet 6 is provided at the lower end of the drying mechanism body 1 and the discharge outlet 9 is provided at the upper end, the fan plate 73 is rotated, which not only turns the grain but also accelerates the airflow in the drying mechanism body 1, thus speeding up the drying of the grain. At the same time, the rotation of the fan plate 73 can also prevent the grain from sliding down the belt 15, greatly improving its practicality.
