[0025] Reference Figure 1-4A rice storage device includes a storage tank 1, a support leg 2 fixedly installed at the bottom of the storage tank 1, a lid 4 fixedly installed at the top of the storage tank 1, a filter cylinder 7 rotatably connected to the bottom of the lid 4, a material cylinder 9 slidably inserted into the bottom of the filter cylinder 7, and mesh openings on the surfaces of both the filter cylinder 7 and the material cylinder 9. A discharge port 3 is provided at the bottom of the storage tank 1, a first sealing cap 10 is provided at the bottom of the discharge port 3, and a limiting mechanism for connecting the material cylinder 9 to the discharge port 3 is provided at the bottom of the material cylinder 9. A rotating cap 5 is rotatably connected to the surface of the lid 4; during use, the rotating cap 5 is opened to pour out the rice. The rice is placed inside the storage tank 1, and then the restriction mechanism is released from below. The material cylinder 9 is pulled out from the bottom, and then desiccant or other substances that can absorb moisture from the rice are added inside the material cylinder 9. Finally, the material cylinder 9 is inserted again, and the restriction mechanism is used to restrict the material cylinder 9. Since the surface of both the material cylinder 9 and the filter cylinder 7 is equipped with mesh, the moisture in the rice can be absorbed by the desiccant through the mesh. Since the material cylinder 9 runs through the entire thickness of the rice from bottom to top, dehumidification can be performed on each layer of rice, improving the storage environment.

[0026] Furthermore, a rotating ring 12 is rotatably connected to the surface of the barrel 9 near the top. Both the rotating ring 12 and the surface of the barrel 9 have inlets 11. A round hole is provided at the bottom of the barrel 9, and a second sealing cap 18 is threaded into the inside of the round hole. The rotating ring 12 can rotate inside the barrel 9, and both the barrel 9 and the rotating ring 12 have inlets 11. Therefore, by rotating the rotating ring 12, the two inlets 11 can be aligned. In this way, desiccant can be added after the barrel 9 is pulled out. When it is necessary to remove the desiccant from the inside of the barrel 9, the second sealing cap 18 at the bottom can be opened directly, which facilitates the replacement of the desiccant and improves the convenience of operation.

[0027] Furthermore, a connecting cylinder 16 is provided inside the discharge port 3. A support rod 17 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the connecting cylinder 16. The connecting cylinder 16 is fixedly connected to the discharge port 3 through the support rod 17. The top end of the connecting cylinder 16 is in contact with and connected to the bottom end of the filter cylinder 7. The connecting cylinder 16 is designed to cooperate with the material cylinder 9, thereby facilitating the removal and installation of the material cylinder 9 without affecting the discharge of rice. Since the connecting cylinder 16 is in contact with the filter cylinder 7, the rice will not be exposed from the connecting cylinder 16. When it is necessary to discharge the rice, it can be discharged from the position between the connecting cylinder 16 and the discharge port 3.

[0028] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism includes a rod 13, which is configured as a "T" shape. A spring 14 is fixedly installed at the end of the rod 13. A groove 15 is provided at the bottom of the material cylinder 9. The rod 13 is slidably connected inside the groove 15. The end of the spring 14 away from the rod 13 is fixedly connected to the groove 15. The inner wall of the connecting cylinder 16 is provided with a hole that matches the size of the rod 13. In use, after the material cylinder 9 is inserted into the filter cylinder 7, the rod 13 is inserted into the hole in the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 16, so that the material cylinder 9 will not fall. The spring 14 can prevent the rod 13 from easily disengaging from the hole, thus enhancing stability. When the material cylinder 9 needs to be removed in the future, the rod 13 can be manually pulled to disengage from the hole.

[0029] Furthermore, the first sealing cover 10 is set as a ring structure. The first sealing cover 10 is threadedly connected to the discharge port 3. The inner diameter of the first sealing cover 10 is matched with the outer diameter of the connecting cylinder 16. The first sealing cover 10 can be used to seal the gap between the discharge port 3 and the connecting cylinder 16, so that the rice can be sealed in the storage tank 1 and will not fall. When the rice needs to be discharged, the first sealing cover 10 can be removed directly.

[0030] Furthermore, a motor 6 is fixedly installed on the surface of the lid 4, and a screw conveyor 8 is fixedly installed on the surface of the filter cylinder 7. The output shaft port of the motor 6 is fixedly connected to the filter cylinder 7. By setting the screw conveyor 8 on the surface of the filter cylinder 7, and the entire filter cylinder 7 can be driven to rotate by the motor 6, it is convenient to use the screw conveyor 8 to move the rice inside the storage bucket 1, thereby helping to absorb moisture and further improve the storage effect.

[0031] In summary, during use, open the rotating cover 5 and pour the rice into the storage tank 1. Then, release the restriction mechanism from below and pull out the feed cylinder 9 from the bottom. Add a desiccant or other substance that can absorb moisture from the rice into the feed cylinder 9. Finally, insert the feed cylinder 9 back in and use the restriction mechanism to restrict it. Since both the feed cylinder 9 and the filter cylinder 7 have mesh surfaces, the moisture in the rice can be absorbed by the desiccant through the mesh. Because the feed cylinder 9 penetrates the entire thickness of the rice from bottom to top, it can effectively absorb moisture from each layer of rice. The dehumidifier is designed to improve the storage environment. A rotating ring 12 is located on the surface of the cylinder 9, allowing it to rotate inside the cylinder. Both the cylinder 9 and the rotating ring 12 have inlets 11. Rotating the rotating ring 12 aligns the two inlets 11, allowing desiccant to be added after the cylinder 9 is removed. To remove the desiccant, simply open the second sealing cap 18 at the bottom, facilitating desiccant replacement and improving operational convenience. A connecting cylinder 16 is included for easy cooperation with the cylinder 9. This facilitates the removal and installation of the feed cylinder 9 without affecting rice discharge. Since the connecting cylinder 16 and the filter cylinder 7 are in contact, the rice will not protrude from the connecting cylinder 16. When rice needs to be discharged, it can be discharged from the position between the connecting cylinder 16 and the discharge port 3. During use, after the feed cylinder 9 is inserted into the filter cylinder 7, the insert rod 13 is inserted into the insertion hole on the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 16, preventing the feed cylinder 9 from falling. The spring 14 ensures that the insert rod 13 will not easily detach from the insertion hole, enhancing stability. When the feed cylinder 9 needs to be removed... When needed, simply pull the insertion rod 13 manually to disengage it from the insertion hole. The first sealing cover 10 can be used to seal the gap between the discharge port 3 and the connecting cylinder 16, thus making it easy to seal the rice in the storage tank 1 and prevent it from falling. When it is time to discharge the rice, simply remove the first sealing cover 10. By setting a screw conveyor 8 on the surface of the filter cylinder 7, and the entire filter cylinder 7 can be driven to rotate by the motor 6, it is convenient to use the screw conveyor 8 to move the rice inside the storage tank 1, which helps to absorb moisture and further improve the storage effect.
