Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery and equipment technology, specifically to a corn kernel drying device for agriculture. Background Technology

[0002] Corn, as one of my country's major grain crops, typically contains high moisture content after harvest and needs to be dried to reduce this moisture content and meet safe storage standards. Traditional corn kernel drying methods mostly involve natural spreading, where corn kernels are directly spread on cement floors, asphalt roads, or dedicated drying yards for sun exposure. This method has several drawbacks: firstly, it requires frequent manual turning during the drying process, which is labor-intensive and inefficient; secondly, the dust generated during turning directly disperses into the surrounding environment, causing air pollution and potentially affecting the health of operators; and thirdly, dust and gravel falling from the gaps in the equipment, if not collected promptly, can pollute the site. Therefore, developing a method that can automate turning and effectively collect dust and broken kernels is of great significance for improving agricultural drying efficiency and ensuring grain quality and hygiene safety. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a corn kernel drying device for agriculture to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a corn kernel drying device for agriculture, comprising a base, a cylinder mounted on one side of the top surface of the base, a piston rod connected inside the cylinder, a fixing block mounted on the other end of the piston rod by bolts, a slider welded to one side surface of the fixing block, a rack plate mounted on the top surface of the slider, a rectangular plate mounted on one side of the top surface of the base, a slide rail opened on the top of the rectangular plate, the slide rail being slidably connected to the slider, support seats symmetrically mounted on both sides of the top surface of the base, a rotating rod rotatably mounted between the support seats via bearings, one end of the rotating rod penetrating the side wall of one of the support seats and fixedly mounted with a gear, the other end of the rotating rod being rotatably connected to the side wall of the other support seat, a connecting seat welded to the outer surface of the rotating rod, a drying frame mounted on the top surface of the connecting seat by bolts, a dust collection groove mounted on the bottom surface of the base, a first dust suction pipe mounted at the bottom of the dust collection groove, semi-circular dust covers symmetrically mounted on both sides of the top surface of the base by bolts, and a box provided at the bottom of the base.

[0005] Preferably, the base has symmetrically mounted support legs on both sides of its bottom surface, and two connecting rods are symmetrically mounted on both sides of the box. The other ends of the two connecting rods are connected to one side of the support leg. A vacuum pump is mounted on the top surface of the box. The output end of the vacuum pump is connected to the inside of the first vacuum pipe. A second vacuum pipe is connected to both sides of the surface of the first vacuum pipe. The other end of the second vacuum pipe passes through the support leg and is connected to the inside of the semi-circular dust cover.

[0006] Preferably, a cover plate is installed on the top surface of the drying frame via a hinge, and a handle is welded to one side of the top surface of the cover plate. Both the cover plate and the frame of the drying frame are perforated.

[0007] Preferably, a dust collection box is slidably installed inside the box, and a handle is welded to one side surface of the dust collection box.

[0008] Preferably, the length of the slide rail is greater than the length of the slider and the rack plate, and the top surface of the base is provided with a plurality of through holes, with the dust collection groove located directly below the plurality of through holes.

[0009] Preferably, the gear is meshed with the rack plate.

[0010] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: It achieves automated and uniform turning: the piston rod driven by the cylinder drives the rack plate to move linearly. The meshing transmission between the rack plate and the gear converts the linear motion into the reciprocating rotation of the rotating rod, thereby causing the drying frame to swing periodically and regularly. This automated turning replaces the traditional manual turning, which not only greatly reduces labor intensity and saves labor costs, but more importantly, it ensures that the corn kernels are dried evenly from all directions without dead angles, effectively preventing local accumulation, heating, and mold, and significantly improving drying quality and efficiency. It also has efficient dust removal and cleaning functions: the device integrates a negative pressure dust collection system consisting of a dust pump, a first dust collection pipe, a second dust collection pipe, and a dust collection trough. During the drying process, dust and light impurities mixed in with the corn kernels can fall from the hollow structure of the drying frame, or fall into the dust collection trough from the through holes in the base, or be directly sucked away by the second dust collection pipe around the semi-circular dust cover. This design effectively removes impurities and dust from corn kernels, ensuring their cleanliness after drying and enhancing the product's grade and value. Operation is simple and maintenance is convenient: the drying frame is bolted to the connecting seat, facilitating disassembly, cleaning, and maintenance. The cover design facilitates feeding and unloading, and its handle further enhances operational ease. The dust collection box slides inside the housing; when cleaning the collected dust is needed, simply pull out the dust collection box, and push it back in after cleaning. Maintenance is extremely simple and quick. Attached Figure Description

A rotating rod 7 is rotatably mounted between the base 6 and the support base 6 via a bearing. One end of the rotating rod 7 passes through the side wall of one of the support base 6 and is fixedly mounted with a gear 8. The other end of the rotating rod 7 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the other support base 6. A connecting seat 9 is welded to the outer surface of the rotating rod 7. A drying frame 10 is bolted to the top surface of the connecting seat 9. A dust collection trough 13 is installed on the bottom surface of the base 1. A first suction pipe 14 is installed at the bottom of the dust collection trough 13. Semi-circular dust covers 19 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the top surface of the base 1 via bolts. A box 16 is provided at the bottom of the base 1.

[0017] Furthermore, support legs 21 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the bottom surface of the base 1, and two connecting rods 18 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the box body 16. The other end of the two connecting rods 18 is connected to one side of the support leg 21. A vacuum pump 15 is installed on the top surface of the box body 16. The output end of the vacuum pump 15 is connected to the inside of the first vacuum pipe 14. The second vacuum pipe 20 is connected to both sides of the surface of the first vacuum pipe 14. The other end of the second vacuum pipe 20 passes through the support leg 21 and is connected to the inside of the semi-circular dust cover 19.

[0018] Furthermore, a cover plate 11 is installed on the top surface of the drying frame 10 via a hinge. A handle is welded to one side of the top surface of the cover plate 11. Both the cover plate 11 and the frame of the drying frame 10 are perforated.

[0019] Furthermore, a dust collection box 17 is slidably installed inside the housing 16, and a handle is welded to one side of the dust collection box 17.

[0020] Furthermore, the length of the slide 24 is greater than the length of the slider 4 and the rack plate 5, and the top surface of the base 1 is provided with a number of through holes 12, with the dust collection groove 13 located directly below the number of through holes 12.

[0021] Furthermore, gear 8 meshes with rack plate 5.

[0022] Working principle: When flipping is required, the power is turned on, and cylinder 2 starts working, driving the internal piston rod 22 to extend and retract. The other end of piston rod 22 is moved by a fixed block 3 installed by bolts. The slider 4 welded to one side of the fixed block 3 slides in the slide rail 24 on the top of the rectangular plate 23. The rack plate 5 installed on the top surface of the slider 4 moves with the slider 4. Since the rack plate 5 is meshed with the gear 8, the linear motion of the rack plate 5 drives the gear 8 to rotate. The gear 8 is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating rod 7. The rotating rod 7 is rotatably installed between two support seats 6 through bearings. Therefore, the rotation of the gear 8 drives the rotating rod 7 to rotate. The connecting seat 9 welded to the outer surface of the rotating rod 7 rotates with the rotating rod 7. The drying frame 10 installed on the top surface of the connecting seat 9 by bolts swings accordingly, thereby realizing the flipping and uniform drying of corn kernels. During the flipping process, the hollow structure of the drying frame 10 allows dust and fine impurities to fall. Several through holes 12 arrayed on the top surface of the base 1 allow the fallen objects to enter the dust collection trough 13. Simultaneously, the vacuum pump 15 starts, sucking in dust from the dust collection trough 13 through the first vacuum pipe 14. The second vacuum pipes 20 connected to both sides of the first vacuum pipe 14 also suck in dust from inside the semi-circular dust cover 19. The vacuum pump 15 transports the dust to the dust collection box 17, which is slidably installed inside the housing 16, thus maintaining a clean drying environment. When drying alone, the semi-circular dust cover 19 can be retracted. The entire device uses the reciprocating motion of the cylinder 2 to continuously swing the drying frame 10, improving drying efficiency and effectively removing impurities through the vacuum system.
