Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of catalpa leaf feed, specifically, it relates to a solar drying room for catalpa leaves. Background Technology
[0002] If the temperature is too high when drying catalpa leaves as feed, it will have a significant negative impact on their nutritional components, active substances, and feed quality.
[0003] Existing technology discloses a solar-powered intelligent drying room (CN201821860122.8), comprising a front wall, a rear wall, a left wall, a right wall, a roof, and an electrical control system. The front wall, rear wall, left wall, and right wall enclose a square space with an opening at the top, and the roof closes the opening at the top of the square space. Mounting holes are provided in both the front and rear walls. A first window is installed in the mounting hole on the rear wall. An exhaust fan is installed on the outside of the first window, and a louver is installed on the inside. Both the exhaust fan and the louver are electrically connected to the electrical control system. A roof beam is installed at the top of the square space, and a temperature and humidity sensor is installed on the roof beam. The temperature and humidity sensor is electrically connected to the electrical control system.
[0004] High temperatures cause catalpa leaves to lose water too quickly, cell walls to rupture, and a high rate of broken leaves, increasing feed dust and affecting the quality of formed pellets. Current technology uses solar energy to dry medicinal materials, but when the temperature is too high, exhaust fans and multiple louvers are opened to expel the hot, humid air from the room. However, the sun continues to shine, and the cooling rate is too slow, causing the cell walls of the catalpa leaves to rupture in a short period of time.
[0005] In view of this, this utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content

An exhaust fan is installed on the outside of the first window, and a louver is installed on the inside. The exhaust fan, louver, humidity sensor, and temperature sensor are all electrically connected to the electrical control system. It is worth noting that the roof 22, the beam, the temperature and humidity sensor, the front wall, the rear wall, the left wall, the right wall, the roof, the electrical control system, the door, the first window, the exhaust fan, and the louver are all existing technologies and have been disclosed in a solar-powered intelligent drying room (CN201821860122.8). The specific implementation method is not described in detail here.
[0020] When the temperature and humidity in the room reach the preset value of the temperature and humidity sensor, the temperature and humidity sensor sends a signal to the electronic control system, which then controls multiple exhaust fans to operate and multiple louvers to open, thereby expelling the hot air containing moisture from the room.
[0021] A solar-powered drying room for catalpa leaves, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a cooling structure is installed above the roof 22. Above the roof 22 is a roller rod 7 that automatically unfolds to provide shade when the indoor temperature is too high. A sponge block 21 is attached to one side of the roller rod 7, moving with it and wiping the top surface of the roof 22. Two support frames 2 are fixed to the top surface of the room 1. A second protective cover 5 is fixed to one side of each support frame 2. Inside the second protective cover 5 is a worm gear 9 and a worm 10, which mesh and drive each other. A first protective cover 4 is fixed to one side of the room 1. Inside the first protective cover 4 is a servo motor 19. The bottom of the support frame 4 has ventilation holes. The output shaft of the servo motor 19 is fixedly connected to one end of the worm gear 10 via a coupling. The two ends of the worm gear 10 are rotatably connected to the two sides of the second protective cover 5. A third protective cover 6 is fixedly installed on each opposite side of the two support frames 2. Inside each of the two third protective covers 6, there is a first bevel gear 16 and a second bevel gear 17. The first bevel gear 16 and the second bevel gear 17 mesh. A rotating rod 12 is provided between the two first bevel gears 16. The two ends of the rotating rod 12 pass through a third protective cover 6 and a first bevel gear 16, respectively. The two ends of the rotating rod 12 are respectively connected to a support frame. The servo motor 19 is rotatably connected to a third protective cover 6. One end of the rotating rod 12 passes through a support frame 2 and is fixedly connected to one side of the worm gear 10. Both first bevel gears 16 are fixedly connected to the wall of the rotating rod 12. A fourth protective cover 8 is fixedly installed on one side of another support frame 2. The fourth protective cover 8 has two gears 18 inside, which are rotatably connected to the support frame 2 and mesh with each other. The other end of the servo motor 19 passes through another support frame 2 and is fixedly connected to one of the gears 18. The cooling structure also includes a coil rod 7, which is located between the two support frames 2 and rotatably connected to them. One end of the roller rod 7 is fixedly connected to another gear 18. The first transmission bar 11, the second transmission bar 13, and the moving block 14 are connected. One end of each of the two second bevel gears 17 passes through the third protective cover 6 and is fixedly connected to one end of each of the first transmission bars 11. One end of each of the two first transmission bars 11 is rotatably connected to one end of each of the second transmission bars 13. The other ends of the two second transmission bars 13 are rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the moving block 14. A sunshade is provided on the wall of the roller rod 7. The sunshade is on the wall of the roller rod 7 and one end is fixed to the roller rod 7. The other end of the sunshade is fixedly connected to the top surface of the moving block 14. The material of the sunshade is PVC coated Oxford cloth.
[0022] When the temperature and humidity sensor sends a signal to the electronic control system, the electronic control system simultaneously drives the servo motor 19. The servo motor 19 drives the worm gear 10 to rotate, the worm gear 10 drives the worm wheel 9 to rotate, the worm wheel 9 drives the rotating rod 12 to rotate, the rotating rod 12 drives one gear 18 to rotate, and the other gear 18 drives the roller rod 7 to release the sunshade. The two first bevel gears 16 drive the two second bevel gears 17 to rotate, one end of the two first transmission bars 11 rotates, and the other end of the two first transmission bars 11 opens and drives the two second transmission bars 13 to rotate and unfold. The moving block 14 drives the released sunshade to extend, and the sunshade covers the roof 22 to ensure that the sun no longer shines when cooling down. It works simultaneously with the exhaust fan and multiple louvers, and the cooling speed is faster. The cell walls of the catalpa leaves will not break down in a short time. When the temperature is suitable, the sunshade is retracted in the same way.

The sponge block 21 is in close contact with the roof 22, wiping away fallen leaves or impurities on the roof 22 to prevent affecting the solar energy effect. When the sponge block 21 is worn out, the bolt 20 is turned to disassemble, clean or replace the sponge block 21.
[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the temperature and humidity sensor sends a signal to the electronic control system, the electronic control system simultaneously drives the servo motor 19, the other ends of the two first transmission bars 11 turn open and drive the two second transmission bars 13 to rotate and unfold. The moving block 14 drives the sunshade curtain to extend, and the sunshade curtain covers the roof 22 to ensure that the sun no longer shines when cooling down, the cooling speed is faster, and the cell walls of the catalpa leaves will not break down in a short time. When the moving block 14 moves, it drives the sponge block 21 to move. The sponge block 21 is in close contact with the roof 22 and wipes away fallen leaves or impurities on the roof 22. The sponge block 21 is made of high-density polyurethane.
