9. The vertical continuous drying oven according to any one of claims 1 to 3, characterized in that: The drying chamber (11) further comprises a conveying device (9), wherein the conveying device (9) is used for cyclically conveying materials into the box body (1), wherein the conveying device (9) comprises a frame (93), a first conveyor belt (91), a first vertical conveying mechanism (92), a transverse mechanism (94), a second vertical conveying mechanism (95) and a second conveyor belt (96), wherein the first conveyor belt (91) is arranged to pass through the entrance (14) and enter the drying chamber (11), wherein the first vertical conveying mechanism (92) is arranged in the drying chamber (11) along the vertical direction of the box body (1), and wherein the first vertical conveying mechanism (92) One end of the transverse mechanism (94) is connected to one end of the first conveyor belt (91), one end of the transverse mechanism (94) is connected to the other end of the first vertical conveyor mechanism (92), the other end of the transverse mechanism (94) is connected to one end of the second vertical conveyor mechanism (95), the second vertical conveyor mechanism (95) is arranged in the cooling chamber (13) along the vertical direction of the box body (1), the second conveyor belt (96) is arranged to pass through the outlet (15) and enter the cooling chamber (13), and the other end of the second vertical conveyor mechanism (95) is connected to one end of the second conveyor belt (96).

10. A drying method, characterized in that: The method is realized by the vertical continuous oven according to any one of claims 1 to 9, comprising the following steps: S1, drying: the materials to be dried enter the drying chamber (11) in sequence from the inlet (14) of the housing (1), and hot air is released from the drying chamber (11) to gradually dry the materials; S2, cooling: the dried material enters the cooling chamber (13) from the drying chamber (11) through the transition chamber (12), and the cooling chamber (13) releases cold air to cool the material. After the material is cooled, it is removed from the box (1) through the outlet (15); S3, heat circulation: the hot air in the drying chamber (11) circulates back to the drying chamber (11) after drying the material, and enters the drying chamber (11) to dry the material after being heated again. The cold air in the cooling chamber (13) is heated by the residual heat of the material and flows into the drying chamber (11) for use. The heated hot air enters the drying chamber (11) to heat and dry the material.
