[0002] Traditional drying equipment is widely used in agricultural product processing, chemical raw material handling, and food production, achieving material drying through methods such as hot air and infrared radiation. This type of equipment, to a certain extent, meets basic drying needs, removing moisture from materials, extending their shelf life, and improving product quality stability. For example, in agricultural product processing, drying can reduce the moisture content of grains, fruits, and vegetables, preventing mold growth; in chemical production, it can ensure raw materials reach the required dryness level, guaranteeing the smooth operation of the production process.

[0003] Existing drying equipment typically uses hot air to directly act on the surface of the material to be dried, achieving the drying effect by heating the material and increasing the airflow over the material surface. However, this drying method results in the direct discharge of hot air containing a large amount of moisture into the workplace, which can easily lead to excessive humidity. In addition, the direct discharge of hot air results in low thermal energy utilization. Therefore, a computer-controlled, electrically automated drying equipment is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a computer-controlled, electrically automated drying device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A computer-controlled, electrically automated drying device includes an installation body, which includes an installation cabinet with a light-transmitting door on the front and a micro-control computer on one side of the front of the installation cabinet; and a drying mechanism including an air inlet chamber located at the top of the installation cabinet, with a filter plate on the side of the air inlet chamber near the air inlet and a fan on the side of the air inlet chamber away from the air inlet.

[0007] A further improvement of this utility model is that the installation body also includes a drying chamber with a built-in temperature sensor, and the drying chamber is located inside the installation cabinet.

[0008] A further improvement of this utility model is that: the inner wall of the drying chamber is fixedly connected to an installation groove, a tray is inserted into the inside of the installation groove, and the micro control computer is electrically connected to the fan.

[0009] A further improvement of the present invention is that the drying mechanism further includes a preheating copper tube, one end of which is connected to the end of the air inlet chamber near the fan.

[0010] A further improvement of this utility model is that: the other end of the preheating copper tube is connected to a heating chamber, and an electric heating wire heater is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heating chamber.

[0011] A further improvement of this utility model is that: one side of the heating chamber is connected to a hot air dispersion chamber through an air supply pipe, and one side of the hot air dispersion chamber is connected to the drying chamber through a ventilation hole.

[0012] A further improvement of the present invention is that the drying mechanism further includes a preheating condensation chamber, which is located on the side of the drying chamber away from the hot air dispersion chamber, and the side of the preheating condensation chamber is connected to the interior of the drying chamber through a ventilation hole.

[0013] A further improvement of this utility model is that: the upper end of the preheating copper tube is set inside the preheating condensation chamber, the lower end of the preheating condensation chamber is set as a water storage chamber, an air outlet is opened at the end of the water storage chamber, and a drain pipe is set at the bottom of the inner cavity of the water storage chamber.

[0014] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the technological progress achieved by this utility model compared to the prior art is as follows:

Through the design of a preheating condensation chamber, a water storage chamber, and preheating copper pipes, the device lowers the surface temperature of the preheating copper pipes by using fresh air with a lower temperature inside. This causes the moisture in the hot air to condense into water droplets on the surface of the preheating copper pipes as it is discharged, sliding down the pipes into the water storage chamber and preventing it from being released into the workplace. This effectively maintains stable humidity in the working environment. Simultaneously, during the condensation process, the preheating copper pipes recover waste heat from the drying process to preheat the internal fresh air, achieving heat energy recycling and significantly improving heat energy utilization efficiency.

[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments:

[0023] Example 1

[0024] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a computer-controlled electrically automated drying device, including an installation body, which includes an installation cabinet 11. The front of the installation cabinet 11 is provided with a light-transmitting cabinet door 12, and a micro control computer 13 is provided on one side of the front of the installation cabinet 11. The drying mechanism includes an air inlet cavity 21, which is located on the top of the installation cabinet 11. A filter plate 22 is provided on the side of the inner cavity of the air inlet cavity 21 near the air inlet, and a fan 23 is provided at the end of the inner cavity of the air inlet cavity 21 away from the air inlet.

[0025] In this embodiment, the drying temperature, time and other parameters are set by the micro control computer 13 on the front side of the installation cabinet 11. After the system is started, the fan 23 in the air inlet cavity 21 at the top of the installation cabinet starts to run, drawing in outside air from the air inlet. The air first passes through the filter plate 22 on the side of the air inlet cavity near the air inlet to remove dust and impurities, avoiding contamination of the materials in the drying chamber 14. The filtered air enters the preheating copper pipe 24 under the action of the fan. The residual heat of the humid and hot air discharged into the preheating condensation chamber during the drying process is used to preheat the new air, realizing the recovery and utilization of heat energy and reducing energy consumption.

[0026] Example 2

[0027] like Figure 1-5 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution: Preferably, the installation body further includes a drying chamber 14 with a built-in temperature sensor. The drying chamber 14 is located inside the installation cabinet 11. An installation groove 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drying chamber 14. A tray 16 is inserted into the inside of the installation groove 15. The micro control computer 13 is electrically connected to the fan 23. The drying mechanism also includes a preheating copper pipe 24. One end of the preheating copper pipe 24 is connected to the end of the air inlet chamber 21 near the fan 23. The other end of the preheating copper pipe 24 is connected to a heating chamber 25. An electric heating wire heater 26 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heating chamber 25.

[0028] In this embodiment, the preheated air enters the heating chamber 25 through the other end of the preheating copper pipe. The electric heating wire heater 26 in the heating chamber reheats the air to reach the set drying temperature, ensuring the drying effect. The heated hot air enters the hot air dispersion chamber 27 through the air supply pipe on one side of the heating chamber, and then disperses into the drying chamber 14 inside the mounting cabinet through the ventilation hole on one side of the hot air dispersion chamber. It comes into full contact with the material to be dried placed on the tray 16 inserted into the mounting groove 15 on the inner wall of the drying chamber. Through heat conduction and convection, the moisture in the material evaporates, achieving the drying purpose.

[0029] Example 3

[0030] like Figure 1-5 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution: Preferably, one side of the inner cavity of the heating chamber 25 is connected to the hot air dispersion chamber 27 through an air supply pipe, and one side of the hot air dispersion chamber 27 is connected to the drying chamber 14 through a ventilation hole. The drying mechanism also includes a preheating condensing chamber 28, which is located on the side of the drying chamber 14 away from the hot air dispersion chamber 27. One side of the preheating condensing chamber 28 is connected to the interior of the drying chamber 14 through a ventilation hole. The upper end of the preheating copper pipe 24 is located inside the preheating condensing chamber 28, and the lower end of the preheating condensing chamber 28 is set as a water storage chamber 29. An air outlet is opened at the end of the water storage chamber 29, and a drain pipe 210 is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the water storage chamber 29.

[0031] In this embodiment, humid, hot air containing a large amount of water vapor enters the preheating and condensing chamber 28 through a ventilation hole on the other side of the drying chamber. Inside the preheating and condensing chamber, the humid, hot air comes into contact with the upper surface of the preheating copper tube 24 located inside the chamber. Since the air flowing through the preheating copper tube is unheated and at a low temperature, the water vapor in the humid, hot air condenses into liquid water upon contact with the cold surface and drips into the water storage chamber 29 at the lower end of the preheating and condensing chamber. An air outlet is provided at the end of the water storage chamber, and the dried air is discharged from the air outlet to avoid direct discharge into the workplace, which would cause excessive air humidity. The condensate in the water storage chamber is discharged from the system through the drain pipe 210 at the bottom of its inner cavity. Throughout the drying process, the microcontroller 13 monitors the temperature parameters of the drying chamber in real time and dynamically adjusts the power of the heating wire heater and the fan speed according to preset parameters and real-time data to ensure that the drying process is stable and efficient.

[0032] The working principle of this computer-controlled, electrically automated drying equipment will be explained in detail below.

[0033] like Figure 1-5As shown, the operator first sets the drying temperature, time, and other parameters through the micro control computer 13 on one side of the front of the installation cabinet 11. After the system is started, the fan 23 in the air inlet cavity 21 at the top of the installation cabinet starts to run, drawing in outside air from the air inlet. The air first passes through the filter plate 22 on the side of the air inlet cavity near the air inlet to remove dust and impurities, preventing contamination of the materials in the drying chamber 14. The filtered air enters the preheating copper pipe 24 under the action of the fan. The residual heat of the humid air discharged into the preheating condensation chamber during the drying process is used to preheat the new air, realizing the recovery and utilization of heat energy and reducing energy consumption. The preheated air enters the heating chamber 25 through the other end of the preheating copper pipe. The electric heating wire heater 26 in the heating chamber reheats the air to reach the set drying temperature, ensuring the drying effect. The heated air enters the hot air dispersion chamber 27 through the air supply pipe on one side of the heating chamber, and then disperses into the drying chamber 14 inside the mounting cabinet through the ventilation hole on one side of the hot air dispersion chamber. It comes into full contact with the material to be dried placed on the tray 16 inserted into the mounting groove 15 on the inner wall of the drying chamber. Through heat conduction and convection, the moisture in the material evaporates, achieving the drying purpose. The humid hot air containing a large amount of water vapor enters the preheating condensation chamber 28 through the ventilation hole on the other side of the drying chamber. In the preheating condensation chamber, the humid hot air comes into contact with the upper surface of the preheating copper pipe 24 located in the chamber. Since the air flowing in the preheating copper pipe is unheated fresh air, the temperature is low. The water vapor in the humid hot air condenses into liquid water and drips into the water storage chamber 29 at the lower end of the preheating condensation chamber. The end of the water storage chamber has an air outlet. The dried air is discharged from the air outlet to avoid direct discharge into the workplace, which would cause excessive air humidity. The condensate in the water storage chamber is discharged from the system through the drain pipe 210 at the bottom of its inner chamber. Throughout the drying process, the microcontroller 13 monitors the temperature parameters of the drying chamber in real time and dynamically adjusts the power of the heating wire heater and the fan speed according to preset parameters and real-time data to ensure that the drying process is stable and efficient.

[0034] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
