Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of corn storage technology, specifically a corn storage and drying device. Background Technology
[0002] Corn is an annual herbaceous plant of the Poaceae family, also known as maize, corncob, and sorghum. As a high-yield grain crop in China, corn is not only an important feed source for animal husbandry and breeding, but also an indispensable raw material for food, medical and health, and chemical industries. When harvesting corn after it matures, the outer shell of the corncob needs to be removed first, and then it needs to be stored and dried.
[0003] In existing technologies, corn is usually stored and dried by placing it directly in a storage silo. However, when corn is piled up in the silo, it is compressed and squeezed together. The corn at the bottom is not dried well and may rot, resulting in waste. Therefore, a corn storage and drying device is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a corn storage and drying device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a corn storage and drying device, comprising a base plate and a storage box, wherein multiple support shafts are rotatably connected inside the storage box, and storage plates are fixedly sleeved on the outer surfaces of the multiple support shafts, and limit rods are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the storage plates. Two sets of first fixing blocks and second fixing blocks are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the left and right sides of the storage box, and each set consists of two first fixing blocks and two second fixing blocks. Limit holes are provided on the outer surfaces of the first fixing blocks, the second fixing blocks, and the limit rods, and limit pins are movably inserted into the limit holes corresponding to the limit rods of the first fixing blocks or the second fixing blocks.
[0006] Furthermore, a support cylinder is rotatably connected to the top outer surface of the base plate, and the other end of the support cylinder is fixedly connected to the storage box. A motor is fixedly installed on the top outer surface of the base plate, and a drive gear is fixedly sleeved on the output end of the motor. A driven gear is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the support cylinder, and the outer surfaces of the drive gear and the driven gear are movably meshed.
[0007] Furthermore, L-shaped plates are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of both the front and rear sides of the base plate, and air drying pipes are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the L-shaped plates. One of the air drying pipes is connected to the output end of an external hot air blower, and a connecting pipe connects the two air drying pipes. A nozzle is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the air drying pipe.
[0008] Furthermore, a discharge port is provided on the bottom outer surface of the storage box, and a baffle is provided on the bottom outer surface of the storage box at the discharge port.
[0009] Furthermore, the outer surface of the storage box is grid-like.
[0010] Furthermore, the plurality of storage plates are arranged in an alternating manner, with the downward-sloping end of one storage plate located above the upward-sloping end of its adjacent storage plate.
[0011] Furthermore, the storage box has grooves on both the left and right outer surfaces, and one end of the limiting rod passes through the groove to the outside of the storage box.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. This corn storage and drying device, through the use of limiting pins in conjunction with the first fixing block, the second fixing block and the limiting rod, adjusts the tilt angle of the storage plate so that the corn is stored on different layers of storage plates, thereby storing the corn in layers and avoiding the corn from piling up and squeezing each other, which would cause some of the corn to rot.
[0014] 2. This corn storage and drying device uses a motor to drive the drive gear to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear to rotate, causing the support cylinder to rotate. The support cylinder then drives the storage box to rotate, ensuring that the corn inside the storage box is dried evenly and improving the drying effect. Attached Figure Description

[0020] 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.
[0021] Example 1: Please refer to the following: Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a corn storage and drying device, including a base plate 9 and a storage box 1. Multiple support shafts 2 are rotatably connected inside the storage box 1. Storage plates 3 are fixedly fitted onto the outer surfaces of the support shafts 2. Limiting rods 4 are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the storage plates 3. Two sets of first fixing blocks 5 and second fixing blocks 6 are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the left and right sides of the storage box 1. Each set contains two first fixing blocks 5 and two second fixing blocks 6. Limiting holes 7 are formed on the outer surfaces of the first fixing blocks 5, second fixing blocks 6, and limiting rods 4. The first fixing block 5 or second fixing block 6 is connected to the limiting rod 4. A limiting pin 8 is movably inserted into the corresponding limiting hole 7. Specifically, by pulling out the limiting pin 8, force is applied to the limiting rod 4 to adjust the tilt angle of the storage plate 3 so that the limiting rod 4 corresponds to the first fixing block 5. Then, the limiting pin 8 is inserted into the limiting hole 7 to limit the storage plate 3. Then, the corn is transported into the storage box 1. The corn falls to the bottom through the tilted storage plate 3. When the bottom storage plate 3 is filled with corn, the same method is used to store corn on the upper storage plate 3. The corn is stored in a separated manner to avoid the corn from piling up and squeezing each other, which would cause some of the corn to rot.
[0022] In this embodiment, a support cylinder 11 is rotatably connected to the top outer surface of the base plate 9, and the other end of the support cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to the storage box 1. A motor 10 is fixedly installed on the top outer surface of the base plate 9, and a drive gear 12 is fixedly sleeved on the output end of the motor 10. A driven gear 13 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the support cylinder 11. The outer surfaces of the drive gear 12 and the driven gear 13 are movably meshed. Specifically, the motor 10 drives the drive gear 12 to rotate, and the drive gear 12 drives the driven gear 13 to rotate, so that the support cylinder 11 rotates. The support cylinder 11 drives the storage box 1 to rotate, so that the corn in the storage box 1 can be dried evenly, thus improving the drying effect.
[0023] In this embodiment, L-shaped plates 14 are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the front and rear sides of the base plate 9. Air drying pipes 15 are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the L-shaped plates 14. One of the air drying pipes 15 is connected to the output end of an external hot air blower. A connecting pipe 17 connects the two air drying pipes 15. A nozzle 16 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the air drying pipe 15. Specifically, hot air is delivered to the air drying pipe 15 by the hot air blower and sprayed onto the corn inside the storage box 1 by the nozzle 16 to dry the corn.
[0024] In this embodiment, a discharge port is provided on the bottom outer surface of the storage box 1, and a baffle 18 is provided on the bottom outer surface of the storage box 1 at the discharge port. Specifically, when it is necessary to discharge the corn, the baffle 18 is opened so that the corn is discharged from the discharge port.
[0025] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the storage box 1 is grid-shaped. Specifically, by setting the grid-shaped surface, airflow can enter the storage box 1 through the grid-shaped surface to dry the corn.
[0026] In this embodiment, multiple storage plates 3 are arranged in an alternating manner, with the downward-sloping end of the storage plate 3 located above the upward-sloping end of its adjacent storage plate 3. Specifically, by adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, corn can fall onto the bottom storage plate 3 after passing through the inclined storage plate 3.
[0027] In this embodiment, grooves are provided on the outer surfaces of both the left and right sides of the storage box 1. One end of the limiting rod 4 passes through the groove to the outside of the storage box 1. Specifically, the groove provides a channel for the movement of the limiting rod 4.
[0028] Working principle: When using this utility model, first adjust the bottom storage plate 3 to a horizontal state. By pulling out the limiting pin 8, force is applied to the limiting rod 4 to adjust the tilt angle of the storage plate 3 so that the limiting rod 4 corresponds to the first fixing block 5. Then, the limiting pin 8 is inserted into the limiting hole 7 to limit the storage plate 3. Then, the corn is transported into the storage box 1. The corn falls to the bottom through the tilted storage plate 3. After the bottom storage plate 3 is filled with corn, the same method is used to store corn on the upper storage plate 3, thus storing the corn in a separated manner. Then, hot air is transported to the drying pipe 15 by a hot air blower and sprayed onto the corn inside the storage box 1 through the nozzle 16 to dry the corn, thereby avoiding the corn from piling up and squeezing each other, which would cause some of the corn to rot.
[0029] The motor 10 drives the drive gear 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 13 to rotate, causing the support cylinder 11 to rotate. The support cylinder 11 then drives the storage box 1 to rotate, ensuring that the corn inside the storage box 1 is dried evenly, thus improving the drying effect.
