Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seed drying technology, specifically a seed drying device. Background Technology

[0002] Newly harvested seeds typically have a moisture content of 25% to 45%, making them difficult to store. Storage at this moisture level can lead to the following problems: 1. High moisture content results in greater respiration, releasing significant heat and increasing the risk of mold growth; 2. Some seeds may produce alcohol due to anaerobic respiration, which can be poisonous and reduce seed viability; 3. High moisture content seeds are susceptible to freezing at low temperatures, reducing their viability and potentially causing death; 4. High moisture content seeds are prone to germination at certain temperatures, rendering them unusable; 5. High moisture content seeds are also more susceptible to pests, compromising seed safety. Therefore, before storing seeds, the moisture content should be reduced to a level suitable for safe packaging and storage to ensure storage stability. Currently, factories use seed dryers to dry seeds during production. However, traditional drying equipment suffers from uneven heating, resulting in poor drying efficiency, low seed development rates, and potential seed damage during batch drying, rendering some seeds unusable. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a seed drying device that solves the problems of uneven heating, insufficient drying effect, and easy damage to seeds during the drying process.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A seed drying device includes a drying channel, a heating component, and a fan. The fan delivers hot air generated by the heating component into the drying channel. Multiple guide buckets are arranged in an inclined manner with staggered vertical distribution inside the drying channel. The guide buckets are elastically connected to the cavity wall on one side of the drying channel. Seeds continuously roll along the inclined surface of the guide buckets as they pass through them. A vibration motor is installed on the guide bucket. Air inlet pipes extend from both sides of the heating component and direct airflow towards the central area of ​​the guide bucket.

[0006] Preferably, multiple connecting frames extend from one side of the guide bucket, and a connecting block is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting frame away from the guide bucket. A mating base with a movable cavity is provided on the wall of the drying channel, and the connecting block is movably arranged in the movable cavity.

[0007] Preferably, the outer surface of the connecting block is covered with an elastic cover, which fills the gap between the connecting block and the movable cavity.

[0008] Preferably, the tilt angle of the guide bucket is between 25° and 35°.

[0009] Preferably, sealing edges are arranged on both sides of the guide hopper, and the sealing edges are made of elastic material and are filled between the guide plate and the wall of the drying channel.

[0010] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] This seed drying device, through its guide hopper, allows seeds to be conveyed into the drying channel and then rolled down the hopper under its guidance. The heating components, fan, and air inlet pipe ensure the drying channel remains at a high temperature by supplying hot air. Since the air inlet pipe faces the center of the guide hopper, the fan power can be increased during idle periods to clean the surface of the guide hopper, preventing seed residue and ensuring its continued use. A vibration motor can be activated periodically to prevent seed accumulation on the guide hopper, thus improving processing efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0017] 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.

[0018] A seed drying device includes a drying channel 1, a heating component 2, and a fan 3. The fan 3 delivers hot air generated by the heating component 2 into the drying channel 1. Multiple guide buckets are arranged in an inclined manner with staggered vertical distribution in the inner cavity of the drying channel 1. The guide buckets are elastically connected to the cavity wall on one side of the drying channel 1. Seeds continuously roll along the inclined surface of the guide buckets as they pass through them. A vibration motor 5 is installed on the guide bucket. Air inlet pipes 6 extend from both sides of the heating component 2 and direct airflow towards the central area of ​​the guide bucket.

[0019] Reference Figure 2 and 3 As shown, in the above technical solution, the guide hopper allows seeds to be transported into the drying channel 1 and then rolled down the guide hopper 4 under its guidance. The heating component 2, fan 3, and air inlet pipe 6 ensure that the drying channel 1 is kept at a high temperature by supplying hot air into it. Since the air inlet pipe 6 faces the middle area of ​​the guide hopper, the surface of the guide hopper can be cleaned by increasing the power of the fan 3 during idle periods to prevent seed residue from affecting the subsequent use of the guide hopper. The vibration motor 5 can be started at regular intervals to prevent seeds from accumulating on the guide hopper and affecting the seed processing efficiency.

[0020] Multiple connecting brackets 41 extend from one side of the guide hopper. A connecting block 42 is fixedly installed at the end of each connecting bracket 41 away from the guide hopper. A mating base 43 with a movable cavity 44 is provided on the wall of the drying channel 1. The connecting block 42 is movably arranged within the movable cavity 44. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this technical solution, the connecting frame 41 and the mating base 43 can stably install the guide bucket. At the same time, when the subsequent vibration motor 5 drives the guide bucket to vibrate, the movement trajectory of the guide bucket is restricted to avoid excessive amplitude, which would affect the drying effect on the seeds.

[0021] The outer surface of the connecting block 42 is covered with an elastic cover 45, which fills the gap between the connecting block 42 and the movable cavity 44. Figure 3 As shown, in this technical solution, the elastic cover 45 can effectively prevent repeated collisions between the connecting block 42 and the cavity wall when the connecting block 42 vibrates in the movable cavity 44, thus avoiding structural damage and impact on the overall service life.

[0022] The tilt angle of the guide bucket is between 25° and 35°. For example... Figure 3 As shown, in this technical solution, by setting the tilt angle of the guide bucket within a fixed range, the seed falling speed can be ensured to be not too fast, thus guaranteeing the overall drying time and improving the drying effect. Specifically, a tilt angle of 30° is preferred.

[0023] Both sides of the guide hopper are provided with sealing edges 46, which are made of elastic material and are filled between the guide plate and the wall of the drying channel 1, as detailed below. Figure 4 As shown.

[0024] In the above technical solution, the sealing edge 46 can be sealed and filled between the guide plate and the drying channel 1. During the vibration of the guide bucket driven by the vibration motor 5, the seeds are prevented from falling directly out of the drying channel 1 from the gap between the two sides of the guide bucket and the channel cavity wall, thus affecting the overall drying effect.
