[0002] Grass seeds are propagation materials used to cultivate herbaceous plants and are widely used in lawn establishment, livestock forage planting, and ecological restoration. Their selection and treatment directly affect plant growth. Sun-drying grass seeds is a crucial step in reducing their moisture content, facilitating storage, and maintaining germination rates. During sun-drying, the operator places the grass seeds in drying frames on a drying rack and then places them outdoors to dry.

[0003] In existing technologies, when drying grass seeds, it is necessary to frequently shake the seeds to spread them out and ensure even drying. When shaking the seeds, the operator has to remove the drying frame containing the seeds and then manually shake them, which is a lot of work for the operator. Therefore, we have designed a grass seed drying device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

The driving rod 14 extends into the limiting frame 12 and is slidably connected to it.

[0018] By incorporating the placement and drive mechanisms, the operator can easily shake the grass seeds during drying, eliminating the need for manual shaking of the drying basket 9 containing the grass seeds and reducing the operator's workload.

[0019] The top of the drying frame 9 is equipped with a bird net 10, which is fixedly connected to the top of the drying frame 9 by Velcro.

[0020] By setting up the bird netting 10 on the drying frame 9, birds can be blocked when drying grass seeds, thus preventing birds from stealing the grass seeds and causing losses.

[0021] The functional principle of this utility model can be explained through the following operation methods: Preliminary preparation stage Equipment inspection and commissioning Check if the locking casters at the bottom of base 1 are unlocked. Push the handle 3 to test if the device moves smoothly. After confirming there is no jamming, lock the casters to ensure the device is stable during the drying process.

[0022] Check all components of the placement mechanism: check whether the sliding connection between the sliding rod 5 and the mounting frame 2 is flexible, and whether the placement frame 6 and the sliding rod 5 are firmly fixed; confirm that the drying frame 9 is placed stably on the placement frame 6 without tilting.

[0023] Debug the drive mechanism: Rotate the handle 8 and observe whether the first rotating rod 11 rotates normally. At the same time, check the meshing of the first bevel gear 19 and the second bevel gear 20 to ensure that the second rotating rod 18, the turntable 13 and the driving rod 14 move smoothly together and drive the limit frame 12 and the placement frame 6 to shake slightly up and down without any jamming.

[0024] Inspect bird netting 10: Confirm that bird netting 10 is fixed to the top of drying frame 9 with Velcro, without damage or looseness, and that it can effectively block birds.

[0025] Preparation and securing of drying racks Rotate the locking screw 15 with anti-slip texture so that its end comes out of the slot 17 of the connector 16, thereby releasing the fixing of the drying frame 9.

[0026] Spread the grass seeds evenly in the drying frame 9 to ensure that the grass seeds can fully contact the air and sunlight during the drying process.

[0027] Place the drying frame 9 containing grass seeds back onto the placement rack 6, adjust its position so that the connector 16 is aligned with the sleeve 7, and then rotate the locking screw 15 in the opposite direction so that its end extends into the slot 17 and abuts tightly against the inner wall of the slot, thus completing the fixing of the drying frame 9.

[0028] If there are many birds in the drying area, attach the bird netting 10 to the top of the drying frame 9 with Velcro to cover the entire drying area.

[0029] Drying and shaking of grass seeds Selection of drying location and placement of equipment Unlock the locking casters on base 1, hold handle 3 and push the device to a sunny, well-ventilated and unobstructed drying area, avoiding placing it in the shade of trees or buildings to affect the drying effect.

[0030] After determining the location, lock the casters again to ensure the device is placed stably and prevent it from shifting due to wind or other factors.

[0031] Drying and shaking grass seeds regularly The grass seeds are dried in natural sunlight, and shaken every 1-2 hours to ensure even drying.

[0032] Shaking operation: Turn the handle 8 to drive the first rotating rod 11 and the first bevel gear 19 at the end to rotate. The first bevel gear 19 meshes with the second bevel gear 20 to drive the second rotating rod 18 to rotate the turntable 13. The driving rod 14 on the turntable 13 slides in the limiting frame 12, pushing the limiting frame 12 and the placement rack 6 to move slightly up and down along the sliding rod 5, thereby causing the grass seeds in the drying frame 9 to shake, so that the damp grass seeds at the bottom are turned out and fully contacted with the air.

[0033] Each shaking lasts 30-60 seconds. After observing that the grass seeds are not obviously clumped and are evenly spread out, stop turning the handle 8 and continue drying.

[0034] Monitoring of the drying process During the drying period, regularly check the drying status of the grass seeds, and observe the color and feel of the grass seeds to judge the moisture content.

[0035] If there is a sudden downpour, move the device indoors or set up a temporary shelter to prevent the grass seeds from getting wet. After the rain, wait for the weather to clear up and then move the device back to the drying area to continue drying.

[0036] Cleaning and maintenance stage after drying Grass seed collection After the grass seeds have dried, turn the locking screw 15 to release the fixing of the drying frame 9, remove the bird net 10, and remove the drying frame 9 from the placement rack 6.

[0037] Pour the dried grass seeds from the drying rack 9 into the dedicated storage container. Be careful to avoid spilling the grass seeds during the collection process. If a small amount spills, it can fall into the base 1 through the ventilation hole at the top of the rack 6 for later cleaning.
