DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0021] Please refer to Figs. 1-3 The present application provides a technical solution:

[0022] Embodiment one:

[0023] The application discloses an air energy heat pump drying room, which comprises a heat pump host 1, an air flow shunting chamber 2 and a drying room 3, wherein the heat pump host 1 is provided with a heat pump air outlet 4 on the side away from the air flow shunting chamber 2, the air flow shunting chamber 2 is provided with an axial flow air supplementing motor 5 on the side away from the heat pump host 1, the drying room 3 is provided with a special-shaped fluid drying channel 6, and the special-shaped fluid drying channel 6 is further provided with a static wind blocking chamber 7; the special-shaped fluid drying channel 6 and the static wind blocking chamber 7 jointly form a Tesla valve type drying space; the special-shaped fluid drying channel 6 and the static wind blocking chamber 7 are both provided with a laminated drying rack 8, and the laminated drying rack 8 is used for placing raw materials to be dried; when air flow enters the Tesla valve type drying space through the axial flow air supplementing motor 5, the heat pump air flow is affected by the structure of the air flow channel of the Tesla valve type drying space, the heat pump air flow is frustrated in the drying room 3 and forms local turbulent flow, the residence time of the air flow in the drying room 3 is prolonged, the static wind blocking chamber 7 is heated in the flowing process, and therefore the heat pump air flow and the rising heat generated by the static wind blocking chamber 7 heated by the heat pump air flow are used for heating and drying the raw materials to be dried in the special-shaped fluid drying channel 6 and the static wind blocking chamber 7 in different ways.

[0024] In this embodiment, the heat pump host 1 provides heat and air flow for the inside of the drying room 3, and the air flow distribution chamber 2 is used to distribute the conveying direction of the air flow, so that most of the wind energy enters the drying room 3 under the drive of the axial flow air supplementing motor 5. Due to the special channel structure inside the drying room 3, it uses the fluid resistance principle of the Tesla valve direction to set the special fluid drying channel 6, and the special fluid drying channel 6 and the static wind blocking chamber 7 jointly form a Tesla valve type drying space. Referring to the flow principle of the fluid inside the Tesla valve, when the gas passes through the Tesla valve in the opposite direction, the air flow is greatly retarded and stays in the drying room 3 for a long time. Due to the special structure of the Tesla valve drying space, the gas inside the drying room 3 will form a swirling vortex flow in a certain area. Therefore, the laminated drying rack 8 is placed in this area, which can better utilize the wind energy of the heat pump host 1 for heating and drying. It is more suitable for materials that need to be dehydrated. The side of each static wind blocking chamber 7 is provided with an opening and closing isolation door 9. By opening the opening and closing isolation door 9 to enter and exit the static wind blocking chamber 7, the drying room can dry Chinese herbal medicines and heat air dry the root and leaf parts with high water content. The hot air uses heat to dry the Chinese herbal medicines on one hand, and carries away the water generated during drying on the other hand. However, the stamen and other parts of the Chinese herbal medicines need to be dried statically. If this part is dried by hot air flow, it may cause pollen loss and affect the medicinal effect of the dried medicinal materials. Therefore, for medicinal materials that require such drying, they can be placed in the static wind blocking chamber 7. The hot air flow formed in the special fluid drying channel 6 heats the static wind blocking chamber 7 after entering the Tesla valve type drying space. On the one hand, it traps part of the heat, which can heat radiate the materials to be dried in the special fluid drying channel 6. On the other hand, the static wind blocking chamber 7 itself is also heated. Since this part is in a closed device, no air flow is generated inside. Therefore, it can better heat radiate the materials that are not suitable for wind drying. In summary, the static wind blocking chamber 7 serves as a forming structure of the Tesla valve type drying space on the one hand, and can heat radiate to improve the drying effect in the special fluid drying channel 6 on the other hand. The heat can also be transferred to the inside of the static wind blocking chamber 7 to achieve static drying effect. The structure has multiple functions, and the setting of the structure reflects the creativity of the device.

[0025] Embodiment two:

[0026] The upper end of the drying room 3 is provided with a return air duct 10. The inlet of the return air duct 10 is provided with a return air fan 11. The gas in the drying room 3 enters the return air duct 10 through the return air fan 11. The return air duct 10 is also communicated with a return air outlet 12. The return air outlet 12 is communicated with the heat pump host 1 away from the return air duct 10. The return air duct 10 is also provided with a dehumidifying fan 13 away from the return air fan 11. The heat pump host 1 is also provided with a dehumidifying heat accumulator 24. The return air outlet 12 is arranged above the dehumidifying heat accumulator 24.

[0027] The heat storage heating wire 14 is connected with the heat conduction column 15, the heat conduction column 15 extends into the static air baffle chamber 7 and is connected with the laminated drying rack 8, and the heat storage heating wire 14 transmits the absorbed heat to the laminated drying rack 8.

[0028] In this embodiment, the setting of the air return channel 10 can recycle the hot air flow after drying, thereby improving the energy utilization efficiency. Meanwhile, due to the limited heat exchange between the air flow and the raw materials during the drying process, when the air flow enters the air return channel 10 again, the heat storage heating wire 14 arranged in the air return channel 10 can further collect and conduct the heat to the heat conduction column 15, thereby better heating and drying the static air baffle chamber 7. The heat pump host 1 is also provided with a dehumidification heat regenerator 24, and the air return port 12 is arranged above the dehumidification heat regenerator 24. Through the setting of the dehumidification fan 13 and the dehumidification heat regenerator 24, the moisture generated during the drying process can be better removed.

[0029] Embodiment three:

[0030] The static air baffle chamber 7 is also provided with an exhaust passage 16 which is communicated with the air return channel 10, and the two ends of the exhaust passage 16 are connected with the Tesla valve 17. The setting of the Tesla valve 17 increases the resistance of the air flow entering the static air baffle chamber 7 from the air return channel 10.

[0031] In order to maintain the balance of the air inside and outside the static air baffle chamber 7, the Tesla valve 17 is arranged between the static air baffle chamber 7 and the air return channel 10. Since the air flow in the air return channel 10 circulates, the internal pressure is smaller than that in the static air baffle chamber 7. When the static air baffle chamber 7 can heat and expand the air flow, the Tesla valve 17 can balance the internal and external air pressures and can also dissipate the air generated during the static drying process. When the internal pressure of the air return channel 10 increases, the resistance of the Tesla valve 17 in the reverse flow direction increases, and the air flow will preferentially flow out through other openings communicated with the air return channel 10, thereby stabilizing the air flow stability in the static air baffle chamber 7.

[0032] Embodiment four:

[0033] The Tesla valve type drying space includes a plurality of main flow channels 18 and a plurality of special flow channels 19. The combination position of the main flow channels 18 and the special flow channels 19 forms a turbulent flow area 20, and the laminated drying rack 8 in the special flow channel 6 is arranged in the turbulent flow area 20.

[0034] The special flow channel 19 is provided with a supplementary air passage 21 away from the turbulent flow area 20. The supplementary air passage 21 is communicated with the air flow distribution chamber 2 through a supplementary air pipeline 22, and the air flow distribution chamber 2 is provided with an air outlet 23 communicated with the plurality of supplementary air pipelines 22 one by one.

[0035] In this embodiment, the gas collision rate at the intersection of the main flow channel 18 and the special-shaped flow channel 19 is increased by additionally arranging the air supplement channel 21, which is more conducive to the formation of rotational turbulence, and therefore the laminated drying rack 8 is arranged in the turbulence zone 20, which can improve the local gas flow in the drying room 3, and more scientifically realize the drying of the materials to be dried.

[0036] While the embodiments of the application have been illustrated and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the application, which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
