Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crop drying technology, specifically a crop turning and drying device. Background Technology
[0002] Farmers need to dry their harvested crops before storing them. The main purpose of this is that drying reduces moisture content, inhibits seed respiration, reduces the consumption of organic matter, and extends storage time. At the same time, drying also disrupts the living environment of microorganisms, inhibiting their growth and reproduction, thus extending the storage period.
[0003] Traditional methods for drying crops rely heavily on manual turning, which is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also makes it difficult to ensure even and comprehensive turning, potentially leading to localized piling or insufficient turning, thus affecting the drying quality. Therefore, appropriate technical solutions are needed to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a crop turning and drying device, which solves the technical problems.
[0006] (II) Technical Solution
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a crop turning and drying device, comprising a crop drying frame, wherein through holes are provided at the bottom of the crop drying frame, and a limiting groove is provided near the upper end of the front and rear parts of the crop drying frame, wherein a moving rod is slidably connected through the limiting groove, and a turning rod is fixedly distributed at the middle of the lower end of the moving rod, wherein auxiliary rods are provided on both sides of the turning rod, and the auxiliary rods are fixedly arranged on the outer side wall of the lower end of the moving rod in an oblique structure, wherein the turning rod and the auxiliary rods form a "U" shaped structure.
[0008] Preferably, a pad is fixed at the bottom corner of the crop drying frame. The pad has an L-shaped structure. The L-shaped pad provides stable support for the entire device, increases the contact area with the ground, improves the stability of the device, and prevents the turning effect from being affected by the shaking of the device during the turning of crops.
[0009] Preferably, a support plate is fixedly provided at the middle of both sides of the crop drying frame, and a lead screw is rotatably connected between the support plates; a slide cylinder is threadedly connected to the outside of the lead screw, and an adjusting block is provided on the outside of the slide cylinder. A support ring is fixedly distributed at the bottom of the adjusting block, and the support ring is connected to the lower end of the moving rod. The support plate is used to stably support the rotation of the lead screw, and the slide cylinder can move laterally along the lead screw, thereby driving the adjusting block to move. The support ring is used to support the moving rod around the bottom of the adjusting block, so that the movement of the adjusting block can accurately drive the moving rod to slide in the limiting groove, realizing precise control of crop turning. Compared with the traditional manual direct pushing of the moving rod, it is more labor-saving and precise, and can flexibly adjust the frequency and amplitude of turning according to the different drying needs of crops and actual conditions.
[0010] Preferably, the upper end of the adjusting block is fixedly provided with a handle bracket, and the front and rear ends of the adjusting block are provided with an arc-shaped adjusting groove; the handle bracket provides a comfortable grip for the operator, making it convenient for the operator to apply force through the handle bracket to control the movement of the adjusting block.
[0011] Preferably, the internal limiting sliding connection of the adjusting groove has a limiting rod, and the outer end of the limiting rod is fixedly provided with a support block, which is fixedly provided on the upper end face of the moving rod; the support block is used to fix and support the limiting rod inward, and the limiting rod slides in the adjusting groove to rotate the moving rod in both directions, thereby driving multiple sets of turning rods and auxiliary rods to turn the crops.
[0012] Preferably, an extension shaft is connected through the side of the lead screw, and a turntable is fixedly provided at the outer end of the extension shaft. A handle is rotatably connected to the outer edge of the turntable. The extension shaft is used to extend the turntable outward, and the turntable is linked to the lead screw for rotation adjustment. The handle is used to hold and rotate the adjustment turntable. The operator only needs to rotate the handle to drive the lead screw to rotate through the turntable and extension shaft, thereby moving the adjustment block. The operation is simple and convenient, greatly reducing labor intensity.
[0013] This crop turning and drying device achieves air circulation by evenly distributing multiple through holes at the bottom of the crop drying frame. This allows the crops to better exchange heat with the outside air during the drying process, accelerating moisture evaporation and improving drying efficiency. The "U"-shaped turning structure, with a sliding rod connected above the crop drying frame and evenly distributed turning rods and auxiliary rods below, has significant advantages when turning crops. It can be directly inserted into the crop pile to turn it, making the turning more comprehensive and even. This avoids the problems of local accumulation or insufficient turning that may occur in traditional turning methods, greatly improving drying efficiency and quality while reducing labor intensity.

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.
[0022] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a crop turning and drying device, including a crop drying frame 1, with through holes 11 distributed at the bottom of the crop drying frame 1, and a limiting groove 13 near the upper end of the front and rear parts of the crop drying frame 1. The limiting groove 13 provides a stable sliding track for the moving rod 2. The moving rod 2 is slidably connected through the limiting groove 13. A turning rod 21 is fixedly distributed at the middle of the lower end of the moving rod 2. Auxiliary rods 22 are provided on both sides of the turning rod 21. The auxiliary rods 22 are fixedly arranged on the lower outer wall of the moving rod 2 in an oblique structure. The turning rod 21 and the auxiliary rods 22 form a "U" shaped structure.
[0023] Further improvements include a pad 12 fixed at the bottom corner of the crop drying frame 1, the pad 12 having an L-shaped structure;
[0024] The L-shaped pad 12 provides stable support for the entire device, increases the contact area with the ground, improves the stability of the device, and prevents the turning effect from being affected by the shaking of the device during the turning of crops.
[0025] Further improvements include the fixed support plate 31 at the middle of both sides of the crop drying frame 1, with a screw 3 rotatably connected between the support plates 31;
[0026] A slide cylinder 42 is threadedly connected to the outside of the lead screw 3. An adjusting block 4 is provided on the outside of the slide cylinder 42. A support ring 43 is fixedly distributed at the bottom of the adjusting block 4. The support ring 43 is connected to the lower end of the moving rod 2 around it.
[0027] The support plate 31 is used to stably support the rotation of the lead screw 3. The slide cylinder 42 can move laterally along the lead screw 3, thereby driving the adjustment block 4 to move. The support ring 43 is used to support the moving rod 2 around the bottom of the adjustment block 4, so that the movement of the adjustment block 4 can accurately drive the moving rod 2 to slide in the limiting groove 13, realizing precise control of crop turning. Compared with the traditional manual direct push of the moving rod 2, it is more labor-saving and precise. It can flexibly adjust the frequency and amplitude of turning according to the drying needs of different crops and the actual situation.
[0028] Further improvements include a handle bracket 41 fixedly provided at the upper end of the adjusting block 4, and an adjusting groove 44 with an arc-shaped structure opened at the front and rear ends of the adjusting block 4.
[0029] The handle holder 41 provides a comfortable grip for the operator, allowing the operator to apply force through the handle holder 41 to control the movement of the adjustment block 4.
[0030] In a further improvement, the internal limiting sliding connection of the adjusting groove 44 is provided with a limiting rod 231, and the outer end of the limiting rod 231 is fixedly provided with a support block 23, which is fixedly provided on the upper end face of the moving rod 2.
[0031] The support block 23 is used to fix the limiting rod 231 inward. The limiting rod 231 slides in the adjusting groove 44 and is used to rotate the moving rod 2 in both directions, thereby driving multiple sets of turning rods 21 and auxiliary rods 22 to turn the crops.
[0032] Specifically, the lead screw 3 is connected to the side of an extension shaft 32, and a turntable 33 is fixedly provided at the outer end of the extension shaft 32. A handle 34 is rotatably connected to the outer edge of the turntable 33.
[0033] The extension shaft 32 is used to extend the turntable 33 outward. The turntable 33 is linked to the lead screw 3 for rotation adjustment. The handle 34 is used to hold and rotate the turntable 33. The operator only needs to turn the handle 34 to drive the lead screw 3 to rotate through the turntable 33 and the extension shaft 32, thereby moving the adjustment block 4. The operation is simple and convenient, greatly reducing the labor intensity.
[0034] It should be noted that the specific model specifications need to be selected according to the actual specifications of the device, etc. The specific selection calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be elaborated in detail. The power supply and its principle are clear to those skilled in the art, so it will not be described in detail here.
[0035] Working principle: Evenly spread the crops to be dried on the crop drying frame 1, and place the crop drying frame 1 stably on the selected site. The L-shaped cushion block 12 contacts the ground, increasing the contact area with the ground, providing stable support for the entire device, and preventing shaking during subsequent operations.
[0036] When turning is required, the handle 34 can be held by hand to shake the turntable 33, which drives the lead screw 3 to rotate stably through the extension shaft 32. The sliding cylinder 42 moves horizontally in a straight line outside the lead screw 3 through the thread, and then drives the adjusting block 4 to move. It is also possible to directly hold the handle holder 41 and pull it horizontally to control the movement of the adjusting block 4.
[0037] According to the drying requirements and actual conditions of different crops, flexibly adjust the speed and amplitude. The moving rod 2 is horizontally moved by the support ring 43. At the same time, the moving rod 2 can be rotated forward and backward by hand, so that multiple limiting rods 231 are limited and move inside the adjusting groove 44, and then drive the multi-group "individual" shaped turning rods 21 and auxiliary rods 22 below the moving rod 2 to turn the crops, enabling thorough and uniform turning of the crops.
[0038] According to the drying degree of the crops, turn the crops multiple times according to the above steps to ensure that all parts of the crops can be fully dried until the ideal drying effect is achieved.
[0039] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the present invention. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive.
