Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of crop processing, and in particular to a heat-recyclable grain drying device and method. Background Art
[0002] Grain drying is an important part of ensuring grain quality and reducing post-harvest losses; grain drying involves a variety of equipment and technologies, and its purpose is to prevent mold and rot by reducing the moisture content of grain, thereby ensuring food security and farmers' income.
[0003] Grain dryers are usually used to process major grain crops such as corn, soybeans, wheat and rice. There are many types of dryers on the market, such as air source heat pump dryers, which use a small amount of electricity to drive the compressor and use the physical phase change of the refrigerant to transfer the heat in the air to the drying room to achieve low-temperature drying, saving more than 70% energy compared to traditional electric drying rooms. In addition, there are circulating grain dryers, which automatically adjust the temperature through a constant temperature ventilation device to ensure that the grain is pollution-free during the drying process and the drying temperature is uniform.
[0004] In the related art, for example, Chinese patent CN221666456U discloses a rice seed drying device. When the rice seed drying device is used, the main tank body is first stably placed in the use position, and then the rice seeds to be dried are put into the main tank body through the feed pipe. At the same time, by setting a drying mechanism, hot air is input into the main tank body under the cooperation of the hot air blower, the transmission pipe, the air collecting cylinder, and the output head, so as to achieve the purpose of drying the rice seeds in the main tank body. At the same time, the driving motor is started, and the driving motor will drive the rotating shaft to rotate, and then the rotating shaft drives the stirring blades and the stirring blades to rotate in the main tank body, so as to achieve the purpose of stirring the rice seeds in the main tank body, so that the rice seeds in the main tank body can be fully contacted with the hot air.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: The present invention relates to a grain drying device and method with heat recycling. The grain drying method with heat recycling comprises drying grains with the grain drying device with heat recycling. When drying grains, the grain drying device with heat recycling first starts a heat source, and the heat source delivers gas with a preset temperature to the inside of a first sub-chamber to preheat a drying drum and a drying mechanism. Grains are then put into the drying drum, and the gas subsequently dries the grains. Then, a first suction part and a second suction part are started, and the first suction part can suck the gas in the third sub-chamber into the inside of the second sub-chamber, and the second suction part can suck the gas in the second sub-chamber into the inside of the first sub-chamber, so that the gas simultaneously forms a vacuum.

[0020] Furthermore, by setting up a conveying mechanism, when in use, the conveying mechanism can drive the grain to move from bottom to top, which can make the grain and hot air fully contact on the one hand, and improve the uniformity of grain drying on the other hand.
[0021] Furthermore, by providing a plurality of drying mechanisms, the plurality of drying mechanisms are arranged along the axial direction of the drying cylinder, so that more grains can be dried at one time during use, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0031] More specifically, the inner ring 21 and the outer ring 22 are both arranged coaxially with the drying drum 1 during installation. To facilitate the installation of the inner ring 21, as shown in FIG.

[0032] For example, the number of the first chambers is six. Figure 8 As shown, six second baffles 221 are fixedly inserted inside the outer ring 22, and the six second baffles 221 are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction. The first chamber is formed between two adjacent second baffles 221, and the shape is set to be a fan ring; twelve third baffles 222 are fixedly inserted inside the outer ring 22, and the third baffles 222 are grouped in pairs, and are divided into six groups in total. The six groups are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction, and the two third baffles 222 in the same group are fixedly inserted in the same first chamber, as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 As shown, the first sub-chamber 2201 is formed between the third partition plate 222 on the left and the adjacent second partition plate 221, and its shape is set to be a fan ring. The second sub-chamber 2202 is formed between two third partition plates 222 in the same group, and its shape is set to be a fan ring. The third sub-chamber 2203 is formed between the third partition plate 222 on the right and the adjacent second partition plate 221, and its shape is set to be a fan ring.
[0033] In order to facilitate the second sub-chamber 2202 to be connected to the first sub-chamber 2201 and the third sub-chamber 2203 respectively, as shown in FIG. Figure 6As shown, six first connecting tubes 223 and six second connecting tubes 224 are fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the outer ring 22. The first connecting tubes 223 and the second connecting tubes 224 are both configured as U-shaped structures, wherein the six first connecting tubes 223 are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction and are configured one-to-one with the first chambers. Taking one first connecting tube 223 as an example, as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 As shown, the left end of the first connecting tube 223 is connected to the second sub-chamber 2202 of the same first chamber, and the right end is connected to the third sub-chamber 2203 of the same first chamber. The six second connecting tubes 224 are evenly arranged along the circumference and are arranged one-to-one with the first chamber. Taking one second connecting tube 224 as an example, the left end of the second connecting tube 224 is connected to the first sub-chamber 2201 of the same first chamber, and the right end is connected to the second sub-chamber 2202 of the same first chamber; the number of the first suction parts 24 is six, and they are inserted one-to-one in the first connecting tube 223; the number of the second suction parts 25 is six, and they are inserted one-to-one in the second connecting tube 224; the number of the water absorption parts 26 is six, and they are inserted one-to-one in the second sub-chamber 2202.
[0034] In order to facilitate the heat source to deliver gas with a preset temperature to the first sub-chamber 2201, Figure 6 As shown, six hot air pipes 225 are fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the outer ring 22 and are arranged one-to-one with the second connecting pipes 224. The hot air pipes 225 are connected to the second connecting pipes 224 and together form an H-shaped structure.
[0035] like Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, there are six circulating belts 23, which are arranged one by one in correspondence with the first chambers. The shape of the circulating belt 23 is set to be a banana fan shape, and when installed, the small end is inserted into the inner ring 21 and the large end is inserted into the outer ring 22; Fig.11 As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the circulating annular belt 23 is set to be hexagonal; Figure 8 and Fig.10 As shown, six first baffles 211 are fixedly inserted inside the inner ring 21, and the six first baffles 211 are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction. When installing, the circulating ring belt 23 is configured so that the small end is inserted between two adjacent first baffles 211 to avoid movement interference between adjacent circulating ring belts 23.
[0036] More specifically, the water absorbing part 26 may be configured to include a shell and a sponge, wherein the sponge is inserted into the shell, and openings are provided on the left and right side walls of the shell, and the openings are provided to facilitate the circulation belt 23 to pass through normally.
[0037] More specifically, the first suction part 24 and the second suction part 25 may both be configured to include a fan.
[0038] More specifically, the heat source may be configured to include a hot air blower, and the air outlet of the hot air blower is connected in parallel via a pipeline and six hot air pipes 225 so as to provide gas with a preset temperature to all the first sub-cavities 2201 at the same time.
[0039] More specifically, in order to facilitate the control of the drying temperature inside the drying drum 1, a first temperature sensor can be provided inside the drying drum 1, and the first temperature sensor is used to sense the gas temperature inside the drying drum 1. A second temperature sensor is provided at the outlet of the second connecting pipe 224, and the second temperature sensor is used to sense the gas temperature discharged from the second connecting pipe 224.
[0040] It is understandable that there may be a plurality of second temperature sensors, and the temperature of the gas discharged from the second connecting pipe 224 is the average value of the temperatures sensed by all the second temperature sensors.
[0041] Initially, both the feed port 101 and the discharge port 102 are in a closed state.
[0042] During use, the hot air blower is first started, and the hot air blower simultaneously passes gas with a preset temperature into the six hot air pipes 225 through the pipeline. The gas with the preset temperature then preheats the drying cylinder 1 and the drying mechanism 2 until the first temperature sensor senses that the gas temperature inside the drying cylinder 1 reaches the first preset temperature value, and then the hot air blower can be turned off; then the feed port 101 is opened, and grain is added into the drying cylinder 1 through the feed port 101. After the feeding is completed, the feed port 101 is closed.
[0043] Then start all fans, such as Fig. 9 As shown, under the action of the fan on the first connecting pipe 223, the inside of the third sub-chamber 2203 is at negative pressure, and the inside of the second sub-chamber 2202 on the right side of the sponge is at positive pressure, so that the gas on both sides of the right circulating annular belt 23 inside the drying cylinder 1 can continuously move to the inside of the third sub-chamber 2203 through the air holes, so that the gas in the third sub-chamber 2203 can continuously move to the inside of the second sub-chamber 2202; under the action of the fan on the second connecting pipe 224, the inside of the second sub-chamber 2202 on the left side of the sponge is at negative pressure, and the inside of the first sub-chamber 2201 is at positive pressure, so that under the action of the pressure difference, the sea The gas inside the second sub-chamber 2202 on the right side of the sponge can continuously move to the second sub-chamber 2202 on the left side of the sponge, and then the gas inside the second sub-chamber 2202 on the left side of the sponge can continuously move to the first sub-chamber 2201, so that under the action of pressure difference, the gas inside the first sub-chamber 2201 can continuously move to the drying cylinder 1 through the air holes on the left circulation belt 23, so that the gas forms six cycles in sequence through the first sub-chamber 2201, the circulation belt 23, the drying cylinder 1, the circulation belt 23, the third sub-chamber 2203, the second sub-chamber 2202, and the first sub-chamber 2201.
[0044] On the one hand, the uniformity of heating the grain can be improved. On the other hand, when the gas flows through the second sub-chamber 2202, the moisture in the gas can be absorbed in time under the action of the sponge, which is not only conducive to more effective utilization of the thermal energy in the hot air and improving the drying efficiency of the grain, but also can reduce the need for additional heating of the moisture, which is conducive to reducing energy consumption and improving the energy efficiency of the drying equipment. At the same time, by controlling the humidity in the air during the drying process, the degree of dryness of the grain can be better controlled to avoid the problem of over-drying or insufficient drying, which is conducive to ensuring the quality and integrity of the grain.
[0045] In the above process, when the second temperature sensor senses that the temperature of the gas discharged from the second connecting pipe 224 is lower than the second preset temperature value, the hot air blower is started, and the hot air blower simultaneously passes gas with a preset temperature into the six hot air pipes 225 through the pipeline to avoid insufficient heat of the gas in the drying drum 1.
[0046] After the drying is completed, the discharge port 102 is opened to discharge the dried grain inside the drying drum 1.
[0047] In some embodiments, the circulating belt 23 forms a closed conveying loop inside the drying drum 1; the grain drying equipment with recyclable heat is configured to also include a driving mechanism 3, and the driving mechanism 3 is configured to provide a driving force for the movement of the circulating belt 23.
[0048] When in use, the circulating belt 23 can form a belt-driven movement. On the one hand, the movement of the circulating belt 23 can disturb the grain, thereby helping to improve the contact between the grain and the hot air. On the other hand, the water absorbed by the water absorption part 26 can simultaneously wet-clean the circulating belt 23 and the hot air, thereby helping to reduce the possibility of dust particles adhering to the surface of the grain, avoiding affecting the heat transfer between the grain and the hot air, and ensuring the drying efficiency.
[0049] In a further embodiment, the driving mechanism 3 is configured to include a plurality of groups of inner gear rings (not shown) whose number is equal to the number of the circulating belt 23 and a rotating shaft 31, and the inner gear rings are fixedly arranged one by one on the inner circumferential wall of the circulating belt 23; the rotating shafts 31 are inserted into the inner ring 21 with their axes parallel to each other, and the rotating shafts 31 can rotate on themselves, and a first gear (not shown) is fixedly sleeved on each rotating shaft 31, and the first gear is meshed with the inner gear ring.
[0050] Specifically in this embodiment, Figure 8 and Fig.10 As shown, the number of the rotating shafts 31 can be set to six, and they are inserted one by one between two adjacent first partitions 211; Figure 7 As shown, a second gear 32 is fixedly sleeved on the top of each rotating shaft 31. Figure 6As shown, the second gear 32 is located outside the inner ring 21 during installation.
[0051] More specifically, in order to facilitate the rotation of the rotating shaft 31, the driving mechanism 3 is configured to also include a first driving motor. The first driving motor is arranged on the bracket 12 or the fixing frame 13 during installation. A third gear is fixedly sleeved on the motor shaft of the first driving motor, and the third gear is meshed with all the second gears 32 at the same time.
[0052] During use, the first drive motor is started, the first drive motor drives the third gear to rotate, the third gear synchronously drives all the second gears 32 to rotate, the second gears 32 drive the corresponding rotating shafts 31 to rotate, the rotating shafts 31 drive the corresponding first gears to rotate, and the first gear synchronously drives the corresponding circulating belt 23 to move through the meshing transmission with the inner gear ring.
[0053] It can be understood that in order to improve the stability of the circulating belt 23 during movement, multiple internal gear rings can be provided on each circulating belt 23, and the multiple internal gear rings on the same circulating belt 23 are arranged along the bandwidth direction of the circulating belt 23; accordingly, a first gear equal in number to the number of internal gear rings on a single circulating belt 23 is fixedly sleeved on each rotating shaft 31.
[0054] In other embodiments, the driving mechanism 3 can also be configured to include a first driving motor whose number is equal to the number of rotating shafts 31. The first driving motors and the rotating shafts 31 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and their motor shafts are coaxial and fixedly inserted on the corresponding rotating shafts 31 to drive all the rotating shafts 31 to rotate respectively.
[0055] In other embodiments, the heat-recyclable grain drying equipment is configured to further include a pumping section, which is configured to be able to pump water inside the water absorption section 26.
[0056] Specifically in this embodiment, the pumping unit can be configured to include a pump; to facilitate the pumping of the pump, such as Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, six water extraction pipes 226 are fixedly inserted on the outer peripheral wall of the outer ring 22 . The six water extraction pipes 226 are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction and are arranged one by one corresponding to the water absorption parts 26 .
[0057] More specifically, in order to simplify the structure, the water pumping end of the water pump can be connected in parallel with six water pumping pipes 226 through pipelines.
[0058] When in use, the water in the water absorption part 26 can be pumped away in time under the suction of the water pump, so as to avoid affecting the water absorption performance of the water absorption part 26 on the one hand, and improve the continuity and efficiency of grain drying on the other hand.
[0059] In other embodiments, in order to improve the drying efficiency of grains, the grain drying equipment with recyclable heat is configured to also include a conveying mechanism 4, and the conveying mechanism 4 is configured to be able to drive the grains to move from bottom to top.
[0060] During use, the conveying mechanism 4 can drive the grain to move from bottom to top, which can make the grain fully contact with the hot air on the one hand, and improve the uniformity of grain drying on the other hand.
[0061] In a further embodiment, the conveying mechanism 4 is configured to include an outer cylinder 42 and an auger 41 , wherein the outer cylinder 42 is inserted into the inner ring 21 ; the auger 41 is inserted into the outer cylinder 42 and is capable of self-rotation.
[0062] Specifically in this embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the outer cylinder 42 is fixedly set on the bracket 12 during installation, and the axis is arranged to coincide with the axis of the drying cylinder 1; in order to provide driving force for the rotation of the auger 41, the conveying mechanism 4 is arranged to also include a third drive motor 43, and the third drive motor 43 is located at the top of the drying cylinder 1 during installation, and the motor shaft of the third drive motor 43 is arranged to pass through the top of the drying cylinder 1, and is fixed and coaxially connected to the top of the auger 41.
[0063] During use, the third drive motor 43 is started, and the third drive motor 43 drives the auger 41 to rotate. During the rotation of the auger 41, the auger 41 continuously drives the grain to move from bottom to top through the cooperation with the outer cylinder 42, and when the grain moves to the top of the outer cylinder 42, the grain then falls back into the drying cylinder 1 under the action of gravity.
[0064] In a further embodiment, in order to improve the uniformity of the grain falling back into the drying drum 1, as Figure 4 As shown, a material distribution portion 421 is fixedly sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the outer cylinder 42. The material distribution portion 421 is arranged in a truncated cone structure with the small end facing upward.
[0065] During use, when the grain moves to the top of the outer cylinder 42 , the grain can be evenly distributed under the guidance of the conical surface of the distribution part 421 .
[0066] In other embodiments, in order to facilitate the provision of driving force for the rotation of the rotating shaft 31, the outer cylinder 42 is configured to be rotatably connected to the top of the bracket 12; the driving mechanism 3 is configured to further include a second driving motor 34, a fourth gear 35, a fifth gear 36 and a sixth gear (not shown), such as Figure 4As shown, in order to facilitate the installation of the second drive motor 34, a top cover 33 is provided on the top of the inner ring 21, and the top cover 33 is provided on the outside of all the second gears 32. The second drive motor 34 is arranged to be fixedly connected to the top of the top cover 33 during installation; the fourth gear 35 is arranged to be fixedly sleeved on the motor shaft of the second drive motor 34 during installation; the fifth gear 36 is arranged to be fixedly sleeved on the outside of the outer cylinder 42 during installation, and meshed with the fourth gear 35; the sixth gear is arranged to be fixedly sleeved on the outside of the outer cylinder 42 during installation, and meshed with all the second gears 32 at the same time.
[0067] During use, the second drive motor 34 is started, and the second drive motor 34 drives the fourth gear 35 to rotate. The fourth gear 35 drives the outer cylinder 42 to rotate through the meshing transmission with the fifth gear 36. During the rotation of the outer cylinder 42, the outer cylinder 42 synchronously drives all the second gears 32 to rotate through the sixth gear. The second gear 32 drives the corresponding rotating shaft 31 to rotate. The rotating shaft 31 drives the corresponding first gear to rotate. The first gear synchronously drives the corresponding circulating belt 23 to move through the meshing with the inner gear ring.
[0068] In a further embodiment, in order to avoid affecting the meshing transmission between the fourth gear 35 and the fifth gear 36, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the second driving motor 34 is configured to be inserted into the bottom of the material dividing portion 421 during installation.
[0069] In some other embodiments, there are multiple drying mechanisms 2 , and the multiple drying mechanisms 2 are arranged along the axial direction of the drying drum 1 .
[0070] Specifically in this embodiment, for example, eight drying mechanisms 2 are provided. Figure 3 As shown, the eight drying mechanisms 2 are arranged along the axis of the drying drum 1 during installation, and adjacent inner rings 21 are fixedly connected together, and adjacent outer rings 22 are fixedly connected together.
[0071] More specifically, in order to facilitate supporting all drying mechanisms 2, as Figure 3 As shown, a support frame 14 is fixedly arranged on the inner side wall of the bottom of the drying drum 1. The support frame 14 is arranged to be connected to the bottom of the drying mechanism 2 located at the bottom during installation.
[0072] More specifically, there are multiple sixth gears, which are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the outer cylinder 42 and are disposed one-to-one corresponding to the inner ring 21 .
[0073] More specifically, the top cover 33 is installed on the top of the inner ring 21 of the drying mechanism 2 located at the top.
[0074] When in use, a plurality of drying mechanisms 2 can dry grains at the same time, so that more grains can be dried at one time, which is beneficial to improving production efficiency.
[0075] In a further embodiment, in order to improve the circulation degree of hot air, the first sub-chamber 2201 and the third sub-chamber 2203 of the adjacent drying mechanism 2 are correspondingly arranged.
[0076] Specifically in this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the position of the first sub-chamber 2201 in the outer ring 22 of the drying mechanism 2 located at the odd positions is set correspondingly, the position of the first sub-chamber 2201 in the outer ring 22 of the drying mechanism 2 located at the even positions is set correspondingly, and the first sub-chamber 2201 and the third sub-chamber 2203 in the outer ring 22 of the drying mechanism 2 at the odd positions and the even positions are set correspondingly.
[0077] When in use, the hot air can circulate axially from bottom to top or from top to bottom. On the one hand, it allows the hot air to contact the grain more evenly, thereby improving the drying efficiency. On the other hand, it helps to reduce the uneven temperature distribution during the drying process, which is beneficial to improving the drying uniformity of the grain.
[0078] In other embodiments, the material of the endless belt 23 may be configured to include metal.
[0079] Specifically in this embodiment, metal generally has good thermal conductivity and elasticity, and the circulating endless belt 23 made of metal can not only better dry the grain when in use, but also better adapt to the complex working environment.
[0080] Exemplarily, the endless belt 23 can be made of metal materials such as aluminum, copper, copper-aluminum alloy, and nitinol.
[0081] In other embodiments, the material of the circulating belt 23 may also be configured to include a composite material, such as a copper-based composite material, a graphene-reinforced metal-based composite material, and the like.
[0082] In other embodiments, the material of the endless belt 23 may also be configured to include special alloy materials, such as aluminum bronze and the like.
[0083] In other embodiments, the material of the circulating belt 23 may also be configured to include a polymer material, such as a thermally conductive polymer.
[0084] In other embodiments, the water absorption part 26 may also be configured to include molecular sieves, activated carbon, etc.
[0085] In other embodiments, the first suction part 24 and the second suction part 25 may also be configured to include an air suction pump.
[0086] In other embodiments, Fig.11As shown, a plurality of first air holes 231 are opened on the inner peripheral wall of the circulation ring belt 23, and a plurality of second air holes 232 are opened on the outer peripheral wall of the circulation ring belt 23, and the height of the second air holes 232 in the vertical direction is higher than the first air holes 231 to achieve misalignment.
[0087] When in use, the inner and outer peripheral walls of the circulation belt 23 located between the water absorption parts 26 can contact each other, thereby reducing the amount of hot air passing directly from the inside of the circulation belt 23 without passing through the water absorption part 26, avoiding affecting the wet cleaning effect of the water absorption part 26.
[0088] In combination with the above embodiments, the use principle and working process of the embodiments of the present invention are as follows: First, start the hot air blower, which simultaneously passes gas with a preset temperature into the six hot air pipes 225 through pipelines. The gas with the preset temperature then preheats the drying drum 1 and the drying mechanism 2 until the first temperature sensor senses that the gas temperature inside the drying drum 1 reaches the first preset temperature value, and then turns off the hot air blower; then open the feed port 101, and feed grain into the drying drum 1 through the feed port 101. After the feeding is completed, close the feed port 101.
[0089] Then start all fans, such as Fig. 9 As shown, under the action of the fan on the first connecting pipe 223, the inside of the third sub-chamber 2203 is at negative pressure, and the inside of the second sub-chamber 2202 on the right side of the sponge is at positive pressure, so that the gas on both sides of the right circulation ring belt 23 inside the drying cylinder 1 can continuously move to the inside of the third sub-chamber 2203 through the first air hole 231 and the second air hole 232, so that the gas in the third sub-chamber 2203 can continuously move to the inside of the second sub-chamber 2202; under the action of the fan on the second connecting pipe 224, the inside of the second sub-chamber 2202 on the left side of the sponge is at negative pressure, and the inside of the first sub-chamber 2201 is at positive pressure, so that under the action of the pressure difference, the sea The gas inside the second sub-chamber 2202 on the right side of the sponge can continuously move to the second sub-chamber 2202 on the left side of the sponge, thereby enabling the gas inside the second sub-chamber 2202 on the left side of the sponge to continuously move to the first sub-chamber 2201. As a result, under the action of pressure difference, the gas inside the first sub-chamber 2201 can continuously move to the drying cylinder 1 through the first air holes 231 and the second air holes 232 on the left circulation belt 23. As a result, the gas forms six cycles in sequence, passing through the first sub-chamber 2201, the circulation belt 23, the drying cylinder 1, the circulation belt 23, the third sub-chamber 2203, the second sub-chamber 2202, and the first sub-chamber 2201.
[0090] At the same time, the second drive motor 34 is started, and the second drive motor 34 drives the fourth gear 35 to rotate. The fourth gear 35 drives the outer cylinder 42 to rotate by meshing with the fifth gear 36. During the rotation of the outer cylinder 42, the outer cylinder 42 synchronously drives all the second gears 32 to rotate through the sixth gear. The second gear 32 drives the corresponding rotating shaft 31 to rotate. The rotating shaft 31 drives the corresponding first gear to rotate. The first gear synchronously drives the corresponding circulating belt 23 to move by meshing with the inner gear ring.
[0091] At the same time, the third drive motor 43 is started, and the third drive motor 43 drives the auger 41 to rotate. During the rotation of the auger 41, the auger 41 continuously drives the grain to move from bottom to top through the cooperation with the outer cylinder 42, and when the grain moves to the top of the outer cylinder 42, the grain then falls back into the drying cylinder 1 under the action of gravity.
[0092] In the above process, when the second temperature sensor senses that the temperature of the gas discharged from the second connecting pipe 224 is lower than the second preset temperature value, the hot air blower is started, and the hot air blower simultaneously passes gas with a preset temperature into the six hot air pipes 225 through the pipeline to avoid insufficient heat of the gas in the drying drum 1.
[0093] After the drying is completed, the discharge port 102 is opened to discharge the dried grain inside the drying drum 1.
[0094] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a grain drying method with heat recyclable utilization, using a grain drying device with heat recyclable utilization, and the grain drying method with heat recyclable utilization is configured to include the following steps: S1, start the heat source, and the heat source delivers gas with a preset temperature into the first sub-chamber 2201; Specifically, the heat source may be configured to include a hot air blower.
[0095] S2, putting grain into the drying drum 1; S3, start the first suction part 24 and the second suction part 25, the first suction part 24 sucks the gas in the second sub-chamber 2202 into the first sub-chamber 2201, and the second suction part 25 sucks the gas in the third sub-chamber 2203 into the second sub-chamber 2202.
[0096] Specifically, the first suction part 24 and the second suction part 25 can be configured as fans.

To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
