Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural product drying equipment technology, and in particular to an adjustable corn dryer. Background Technology

[0002] In agriculture, corn drying equipment is often needed to dry corn before it can be stored to prevent it from becoming damp and moldy. The performance of the drying equipment plays a crucial role in the quality and efficiency of corn drying. Currently, existing corn drying equipment faces numerous technical bottlenecks.

[0003] Firstly, regarding spacing adjustment, most drying devices struggle to easily adjust the spacing between the corn racks. When faced with variations in the quantity of corn from different batches or differences in the thickness of the corn pile, the inability to flexibly adjust the rack spacing according to actual drying needs results in poor uniformity of hot air penetration through the corn layer. This leads to inconsistent drying effects, with some corn being over-dried and losing nutrients, while other corn is under-dried and at risk of mold. Secondly, in terms of equipment disassembly and maintenance, the connection structure between the racks, drying chamber, and other components of existing drying devices is complex. Disassembly and assembly often require specialized tools such as wrenches and screwdrivers, which not only consumes a significant amount of time and labor but also severely hinders the daily maintenance and repair process. Furthermore, it is difficult to meet the requirement of quickly changing racks for different drying needs, greatly limiting the flexibility of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an adjustable corn dryer.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An adjustable corn dryer includes a drying chamber containing a drying assembly. The drying chamber contains multiple mounting racks, and the inner wall of the drying chamber has multiple mounting slots corresponding to the mounting racks. Each mounting rack has a movable slot, and a placement rack is located within the movable slot. Each placement rack has an extrusion groove, and a fixing block is located within the extrusion groove via a first extrusion mechanism. The placement rack has fixing holes. The mounting rack has an internal movable chamber, and a movable block is located within the movable chamber via a second extrusion mechanism. A positioning rack is also located within the movable chamber via a third extrusion mechanism. The positioning rack slides through the inner wall of the movable chamber and extends to the outside of the mounting rack. The inner wall of the mounting rack has a positioning groove corresponding to the positioning rack.

[0007] Preferably, the first extrusion mechanism includes a first spring disposed in the extrusion groove, with both ends of the first spring connected to the outer wall of the fixed block and the inner wall of the extrusion groove, respectively.

[0008] Preferably, the second extrusion mechanism includes a second spring disposed in the movable chamber, with both ends of the second spring connected to the outer wall of the movable block and the inner wall of the movable chamber, respectively.

[0009] Preferably, the third extrusion mechanism includes a third spring disposed in the active chamber, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the outer wall of the positioning frame and the inner wall of the active chamber.

[0010] Preferably, the vertical cross-sectional view of the movable groove and the placement frame is T-shaped, the cross-sectional view of the positioning frame is L-shaped, and the surfaces of the positioning frame and the movable block are inclined and polished.

[0011] Preferably, the mounting bracket is provided with a storage slot, and the storage slot is provided with a pull-out bracket that extends into the active chamber and is fixedly connected to the active block.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. The installation is adjustable in six mounting slots using three mounting racks, and the racks can be easily disassembled and reassembled on the mounting racks. The vertical spacing can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual situation such as the quantity and thickness of the corn, so that hot air can pass through the corn evenly, improving drying efficiency and quality, and ensuring that the corn is dried evenly.

[0014] 2. The convenient assembly and disassembly of the mounting and placement racks facilitates daily maintenance and repair of the equipment. Operations such as cleaning residual corn scraps inside the drying chamber and inspecting or replacing drying components require no complicated tools or cumbersome procedures, reducing maintenance costs and manpower consumption. Furthermore, the operation is simple and easy to understand, allowing staff to quickly master the adjustment and disassembly methods.

[0015] 3. This structural design enables the dryer to adapt to the drying needs of corn in different batches and conditions.

[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 of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-5 An adjustable corn dryer includes a drying chamber 1, and a drying component 2 is provided inside the drying chamber 1. The drying component 2 shown in the figure is only a simplified structural diagram. The drying component 2 is actually composed of a fan and a heating component, which can blow hot air from bottom to top to realize the drying operation of corn placed on the rack 6. The exhaust pipe 3 is responsible for discharging gas. It is a conventional component in the prior art and is not improved in this solution. Therefore, it is only shown in a simplified diagram in this solution. For details, please refer to the prior art disclosure and description.

[0024] It should also be noted that the appendix Figure 1 The opening is a slit, and a slit can be installed inside the slit according to existing technology. The corn can be taken out and put in, and other operations can be performed by opening and closing the slit.

[0025] The drying oven 1 is equipped with multiple mounting racks 4. The inner wall of the drying oven 1 is equipped with multiple mounting slots corresponding to the mounting racks 4. The mounting racks 4 are equipped with movable slots 5. The movable slots 5 are equipped with placement racks 6. The placement racks 6 are equipped with extrusion slots 8. The extrusion slots 8 are equipped with fixing blocks 9 through a first extrusion mechanism. The placement racks 6 are equipped with fixing holes 7. The mounting racks 4 are equipped with movable chambers 13. The movable chambers 13 are equipped with movable blocks 14 through a second extrusion mechanism. The movable chambers 13 are also equipped with positioning racks 16 through a third extrusion mechanism. The positioning racks 16 slide through the inner wall of the movable chambers 13 and extend to the outside of the mounting racks 4. The inner wall of the mounting slots is equipped with positioning slots corresponding to the positioning racks 16.

[0026] This design includes three mounting brackets 4, each with two placement racks 6. There are six mounting slots corresponding to the mounting brackets 4. The three mounting brackets 4 can be adjusted and installed within the six mounting slots to adjust the vertical spacing.

[0027] The first extrusion mechanism includes a first spring 10 disposed within the extrusion groove 8, with both ends of the first spring 10 connected to the outer wall of the fixed block 9 and the inner wall of the extrusion groove 8, respectively. The vertical cross-sectional views of the movable groove 5 and the placement frame 6 are both T-shaped. When the placement frame 6 is within the movable groove 5, the first spring 10 extrudes the fixed block 9, pressing it into the fixing hole 7, thus achieving the fixed installation of the placement frame 6. The aforementioned T-shaped design ensures that the placement frame 6 can only move laterally, serving as a limiting mechanism.

[0028] The second compression mechanism includes a second spring 15 disposed within the movable chamber 13. The two ends of the second spring 15 are connected to the outer wall of the movable block 14 and the inner wall of the movable chamber 13, respectively. The elastic potential energy provided by the second spring 15 is sufficient to compress the movable block 14. When no external force is involved, the movable block 14 always stays close to the inner wall of the movable chamber 13 on the side away from the pull-out bracket 12.

[0029] The third compression mechanism includes a third spring 17 disposed within the movable chamber 13. Both ends of the third spring 17 are connected to the outer wall of the positioning frame 16 and the inner wall of the movable chamber 13, respectively. The elastic potential energy provided by the third spring 17 allows the positioning frame 16 to move when the movable block 14 moves closer to the receiving slot 11, causing the two positioning frames 16 to move closer together and thus disengage from the positioning slot on the inner wall of the mounting slot. The cross-sectional view of the positioning frame 16 is L-shaped; this L-shape is for convenient connection of the third spring 17.

[0030] The surfaces of the positioning frame 16 and the movable block 14 are both inclined and polished. Only with this inclined setting can the positioning frame 16 move accordingly when the movable block 14 moves.

[0031] The mounting bracket 4 is provided with a storage slot 11, and a pull-out bracket 12 extends into the activity chamber 13 and is fixedly connected to the movable block 14. The pull-out bracket 12 is designed to facilitate the dragging and moving of the movable block 14. Its hidden design within the storage slot 11 avoids accidental contact and obstruction of other equipment components.

[0032] When this utility model is in use, the corn is placed on the rack 6, and the fan and heating component in the drying component 2 blow hot air from bottom to top. The hot air passes through the corn on the rack 6, takes away the moisture, and dries the corn. The generated moisture is discharged through the exhaust pipe 3.

[0033] For the installation and removal of the placement frame 6 and the mounting frame 4, when the placement frame 6 is placed into the movable groove 5 of the mounting frame 4, the placement frame 6 can only move laterally because the vertical cross-section of the movable groove 5 and the placement frame 6 is T-shaped. At this time, the first spring 10 in the first pressing mechanism presses the fixing block 9 into the fixing hole 7, thus fixing the placement frame 6 on the mounting frame 4. To remove the placement frame 6, simply apply external force to make the fixing block 9 retract into the pressing groove 8 against the elastic force of the first spring 10, and the placement frame 6 can be pulled out laterally.

[0034] The adjustment and installation process of the mounting bracket 4 in the drying chamber 1 is as follows: In the initial state, the second spring 15 presses the movable block 14 against the inner wall of the movable chamber 13 away from the pull-out bracket 12. The third spring 17 causes the positioning bracket 16 to extend and engage with the positioning groove on the inner wall of the mounting slot, thus fixing the mounting bracket 4 in the drying chamber 1. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the mounting bracket 4, pull the pull-out bracket 12 to move the movable block 14. Since the surfaces of the positioning bracket 16 and the movable block 14 are inclined, the movable block 14 will push the positioning bracket 16 to overcome the elastic force of the third spring 17 when it moves, causing the positioning bracket 16 to disengage from the positioning groove. At this time, the mounting bracket 4 can be removed from the current mounting slot and placed into another suitable mounting slot. Release the pull-out bracket 12, and the positioning bracket 16 will re-engage with the positioning groove of the new mounting slot under the action of the third spring 17, completing the position adjustment and fixing of the mounting bracket 4.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
