[0034] It should be noted that by adding the heat exchange core 3, the return humid air can be alternately cooled and heated and then cooled, so that the temperature matches the dew point temperature of the dehumidification evaporator 4, allowing the dehumidification evaporator 4 to condense water and then dehumidify. After dehumidification, the air passes through the heat exchange core 3 again to alternate between cold and hot and then heat up. After the air temperature is heated, it enters the internal condenser 14 for heating, making the temperature higher.

[0040] It should be noted that when the present invention is in use, the moisture evaporated from the tobacco leaves is sucked toward the return air outlet 29 and reaches the heat exchange core 3. After being cooled by the heat exchange core 3, it is placed in the dehumidification evaporator 4 for dehydration. After being dehydrated, it becomes dry air and then returns to the heat exchange core 3 for further heating. The heated gas goes to the inside of the third installation cavity 13.

Finally, the centrifugal fan 16 works to send the dry hot air to the tobacco flue-curing room to dry the tobacco leaves. In this process, the external condenser 18 plays a role of constant temperature control. The condensed water of the internal condenser 14 and the external condenser 18 is collected by two liquid storage tanks 19. The tobacco flue-curing machine is equipped with a Bluetooth connection function. The user can remotely monitor the smoking process and even remotely control it when necessary.

When the temperature value inside the second installation cavity 5 exceeds the value set by the temperature sensor 11, the temperature sensor 11 detects the signal and transmits the signal to the controller 12. The controller 12 controls the cooling fan 28 to operate, so that the outside air enters the second installation cavity 5 through the vents 24, and the hot air is discharged through the heat dissipation port 26, thereby accelerating the air circulation inside the second installation cavity 5 and achieving efficient heat dissipation.

[0046] It should be noted that the second mounting plate 23 can be detachably installed in the second mounting cavity 5 to seal the second mounting cavity 5. After the second mounting plate 23 is removed, desiccant can be placed in the desiccant placement groove 25, and then the second mounting plate 23 can be installed, so that the desiccant placement groove 25 containing desiccant can absorb the humid air inside the second mounting cavity 5, keep the inside of the second mounting cavity 5 dry, and prevent the electrical components from getting damp.

[0047] The heat dissipation mechanism 9 includes a first mounting plate 22, a temperature sensor 11 and a heat dissipation fan 28.

When the temperature inside the second installation cavity 5 exceeds the value set by the temperature sensor 11, the temperature sensor 11 detects the signal and transmits the signal to the controller 12. The controller 12 controls the cooling fan 28 to operate, so that the outside air enters the second installation cavity 5 through the air vents 24 and the hot air is discharged through the heat dissipation port 26, thereby accelerating the air circulation inside the second installation cavity 5 and achieving efficient heat dissipation.
