[0020] Example

[0021] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a grain drying tower with uniform air distribution, comprising a drying cylinder 1, a bottom support 2, and a drying mechanism, as shown in the attached figure.

The support of the drive motor 4 is fixedly installed to the lower part of the drying cylinder 1 by bolts. The drive shaft end of the drive motor 4 is fixedly installed to the lower shaft end of the screw conveyor 6. The vertical lifting and conveying of grain materials can be realized by driving the screw conveyor 6 through the drive motor 4. In order to facilitate the conveying and connection of grain materials, open slots 8 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the lifting conveyor cylinder 5. The open slots 8 are distributed in a circumferential shape. The two sets of open slots 8 are respectively opened through the upper and lower sides of the lifting conveyor cylinder 5, which can facilitate the entry and exit of grain materials during conveying.

[0023] The air guide assembly is used to guide and convey hot air. The air guide assembly includes an air guide side seat 9, an air guide connecting pipe 10, and a drying cylinder seat 11, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 1 As shown, the air guide seat 9 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the drying cylinder 1. To facilitate connection with external hot air supply equipment, a hot air connecting pipe 12 is fixedly installed at the lower part of the air guide seat 9. The air guide connecting pipe 12 is used for hot air diversion and delivery, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 As shown, three air guide pipes 10 are provided. The three air guide pipes 10 are evenly and uniformly fixed and connected to the inner side of the air guide seat 9. The drying working structure adopts a multi-point air supply. The hot air is guided by multiple sets of air guide pipes 10 set on the side of the air guide seat 9. The air guide pipes 10 are evenly distributed in the longitudinal direction to realize the segmented and uniform delivery of hot air in the drying cylinder seat 11. This ensures that the hot air flows evenly in the drying cylinder seat 11, avoids the problem of uneven grain drying caused by local heating, and is conducive to improving the uniformity and stability of grain drying.

[0024] The drying cylinder base 11 is installed on the outside of the lifting conveyor cylinder 5, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 4 As shown, the drying cylinder seat 11 is fitted onto the outside of the lifting conveyor cylinder 5. To support the installation of the drying cylinder seat 11, docking end seats are fixed at both the upper and lower ends of the drying cylinder seat 11.

Figure 5As shown, drying ball cages 13 are installed at equal intervals on the upper part of the drying cylinder base 11. Both the drying cylinder base 11 and the drying ball cages 13 can be made of stainless steel. The drying ball cages 13 are spherical enclosures and are fixedly installed at equal intervals in the middle of the drying cylinder base 11. Multiple sets of drying ball cages 13 are arranged on the upper part of the drying cylinder base 11. The spherical enclosure design of the drying ball cages 13 can effectively increase the drying contact area with the grain material, which is beneficial to improving the grain drying efficiency. The air guide side seat 9 is connected to the drying ball cages 13 through the air guide connecting pipe 10. Specifically, the air guide connecting pipe 10... The end of 0 is fixedly connected to the side of the drying ball cage 13. To facilitate the flow of hot air, drying air holes are evenly opened through the periphery of the drying cylinder base 11 and the drying ball cage 13. The diffusion of hot air through the inner cavity of the drying ball cage 13 can facilitate the flow and diffusion of hot air, which can ensure the uniformity of drying of grain materials. The diameter of the drying ball cage 13 increases from top to bottom. In the initial stage of grain lifting and drying, it can support and guide the falling grain materials in sequence, prolong the residence time of grain in the drying zone, and achieve efficient drying of grain materials in the initial stage, which is conducive to improving the working efficiency of the device.

[0025] Working principle or structural principle: During operation, the grain material is fed into the drying cylinder 1 from above by a belt conveyor. Simultaneously, hot air enters the air guide seat 9 through the hot air connecting pipe 12. The air guide seat 9 then distributes the hot air to the inner sides of three sets of drying spherical cages 13 via three sets of connecting pipes 10. The connecting pipes 10 are evenly spaced longitudinally, ensuring segmented and uniform hot air delivery within the drying cylinder 11. This prevents uneven drying caused by localized heating. The hot air diffuses through the inner cavity of the drying spherical cages 13 and exits through the drying vents at the top, thus drying the grain material. During this process, the screw conveyor 6 is driven by the drive motor 4 to rotate at a constant speed. When the grain material enters the lower part of the drying cylinder 1, it enters through the open slot 8 at the bottom of the lifting conveyor cylinder 5 and is lifted and conveyed to the upper part of the lifting conveyor cylinder 5 by the screw conveyor 6. The lifted grain material is discharged from the open slot 8 at the top of the lifting conveyor cylinder 5 and is guided to fall naturally by the arc-shaped guide seat 14. The diameter of the drying ball cage 13 increases from top to bottom. In the initial stage of grain lifting and drying, the falling grain material can be supported and guided in sequence to prolong the residence time of the grain in the drying zone, which can achieve efficient drying of the grain material in the initial stage. This cycle is repeated to complete the drying work of the grain material. After drying is completed, the discharge end pipe 3 at the bottom of the drying cylinder 1 is opened to discharge the material in the drying cylinder 1, thus completing the grain drying process.

[0026] In summary, this grain drying tower adopts a multi-point air supply drying structure. Multiple sets of air guide pipes 10, located at the edge of the air guide seat 9, are used to guide hot air. The air guide pipes 10 are evenly distributed longitudinally, enabling segmented and uniform hot air delivery within the drying cylinder 11. This ensures uniform hot air circulation within the drying cylinder 11, avoiding uneven grain drying caused by localized heating, and improving the uniformity and stability of grain drying. Multiple sets of drying spherical cages 13 are installed at the upper part of the drying cylinder 11. Each drying spherical cage 13 is a spherical enclosure. It can effectively increase the drying contact area with grain materials, which is conducive to improving the grain drying efficiency. Furthermore, the drying ball cage 13 is connected to the air guide pipe 10. The diffusion of the inner cavity of the drying ball cage 13 can facilitate the circulation and diffusion of hot air, which can ensure the uniformity of grain drying. The diameter of the drying ball cage 13 increases from top to bottom. In the initial stage of grain lifting and drying, it can support and guide the falling grain materials in sequence, prolonging the residence time of the grain in the drying zone, which can achieve efficient drying of grain materials in the initial stage and improve the working efficiency of the device.
