Therefore, timely drying of camellia seeds to reduce mildew is the key to ensuring the quality of camellia seeds and the smooth progress of subsequent processing.

[0039] The present application discloses a radio frequency combined heat pump gas jet dryer for drying oil-tea camellia seeds, which is mainly composed of a drying box 1, a material holding mechanism 2, a radio frequency electrode plate 3 and an air heat pump 4; a drying chamber 11 is provided in the drying box 1 for drying oil-tea camellia seeds; the material holding mechanism 2 includes a plurality of material holding components, which are transmission-connected to a driving component and can circulate in the drying chamber 11 to heat the oil-tea camellia seeds evenly; the radio frequency electrode plates 3 are correspondingly arranged in the drying chamber 11 and are movably connected to the drying chamber 11, and the material holding component is located between the two electrode plates, and the oil-tea camellia seeds are heated by radio frequency electromagnetic waves; the air outlet of the air heat pump 4 is connected to the air outlet chamber 12 in the drying box 1, and air is blown to the material holding component through the air distribution component, and the outlet of the drying chamber 11 is connected to the return air outlet of the air heat pump 4 through the return air chamber 13 to realize hot air circulation and provide heat for the drying process; the dryer of the present application combines the three technologies of radio frequency, heat pump and gas jet, and the two correspondingly arranged radio frequency electrode plates 3 can make the water molecules inside the oil-tea camellia seeds vibrate and generate heat, The air heat pump 4 accelerates the dissipation of internal moisture to the outside, accelerates the drying speed inside the camellia seeds, and the air heat pump 4 impacts the camellia seeds with high-temperature gas jets, and uses hot air to take away the moisture on the surface of the camellia seeds, accelerates the loss of moisture on the surface, improves the convective heat transfer coefficient, and accelerates the drying rate and the uniformity of drying. The hot air with the moisture taken away is discharged from the return air chamber 13, and is dried in the air heat pump 4 and the hot air is heated again to the design temperature for cyclic drying.

At the same time, the technology of the present application organically combines a variety of drying methods, and dries in a sealed environment, which reduces the dependence of the drying process on the environment, expands the scope of application of the equipment, and improves the practicality of the equipment. The various drying technologies of the present invention are combined and assisted with each other to achieve efficient and uniform drying of camellia seeds, improve drying efficiency and uniformity, and have the characteristics of energy saving and environmental protection, high degree of automation, wide scope of application, and significant technical advantages and economic benefits.

[0040] In one embodiment of the present application, a control chamber 15 and a transmitting chamber 16 are respectively provided at the bottom end of the drying box 1. A control module 32 is provided in the control chamber 15 for controlling the operation of the equipment; and a radio frequency generator 31 is provided in the transmitting chamber 16. The control module 32 controls the operation of the radio frequency electrode plate 3 through the radio frequency transmitter.

[0041] For a further optimized solution, the material loading assembly includes a loading frame 21 provided with a number of through holes 22. Connecting frames 23 are respectively arranged at both ends of the loading frame 21. At the ends of the two connecting frames 23 away from each other, connecting rods 24 are fixedly connected respectively. The connecting rods 24 are in transmission connection with the driving assembly. The design of the through holes 22 in the loading frame 21 facilitates the penetration of hot air. The connecting frames 23 and the connecting rods 24 are used to connect the loading frame 21 with the driving assembly, and facilitate the installation and movement of the material loading assembly. At the same time, the loading frame 21 can move driven by the driving assembly. During use, the driving assembly drives the connecting rods 24, and the connecting rods 24 pull the loading frame 21 to move in a cycle in the drying chamber 11, ensuring the uniform heating of the oil-tea camellia seeds during the drying process, and improving the drying efficiency and uniformity. The through holes 22 enable the hot air to fully contact the oil-tea camellia seeds, increasing the efficiency of moisture discharge.

[0042] For a further optimized solution, the driving assembly includes a driving module and a driven module correspondingly arranged in the drying chamber 11. The driving module and the driven module are in transmission connection. A first transmission chain 25 is wound around the driving module, and a second transmission chain 26 is wound around the driven module. The two connecting rods 24 are respectively connected to corresponding positions of the first transmission chain 25 and the second transmission chain 26. The driving module and the driven module are correspondingly arranged and in transmission connection. The driving module drives the first transmission chain 25 to rotate, and the second transmission chain 26 of the driven module rotates accordingly. The two transmission chains drive the connecting rods 24 connected thereto, thereby driving the material loading assembly to move in a cycle, ensuring the stable and reliable cyclic movement of the material loading assembly, and improving the automation degree and stability of the drying process.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present application, the diameter of the through holes 22 is smaller than the diameter of the oil-tea camellia seeds, avoiding the dropping of the oil-tea camellia seeds during the drying process and reducing waste.

[0044] In an embodiment of the present application, the open end of the loading frame 21 is always upward under the action of gravity, avoiding the falling of the oil-tea camellia seeds during the drying process.

[0045] In an embodiment of the present application, the driving module includes a number of driving sprockets 29, and the first transmission chain 25 is wound around the number of driving sprockets 29. The driven module includes a number of driven sprockets 210 correspondingly arranged with the driving sprockets 29, and the second transmission chain 26 is wound around the number of driven sprockets 210. Any one of the driving sprockets 29 is in transmission connection with a driving motor 27 arranged outside the drying box 1, providing power for the rotation of the driving sprockets 29 and the driven sprockets 210.

[0046] In an embodiment of the present application, the corresponding driving sprocket 29 and the driven sprocket 210 are in transmission through a transmission rod 28.

[0047] For a further optimized solution, a air distribution fan 41 is arranged in the air outlet cavity 12. The inlet of the air distribution fan 41 is communicated with the outlet of the air heat pump 4 through an air inlet pipe 42, and the outlet of the air distribution fan 41 is communicated with the air distribution assembly through a horn-shaped air outlet 45. The air distribution fan 41 pressurizes the hot air of the air heat pump 4 and conveys it to the air distribution assembly through the horn-shaped air outlet 45, enhancing the conveying capacity and uniformity of the hot air. When in use, the hot air of the air heat pump 4 enters the air distribution fan 41 through the air inlet pipe 42, forms a rotating air flow after being pressurized and enters the air distribution assembly through the horn-shaped air outlet 45, improving the conveying efficiency and uniformity of the hot air, enabling the hot air to act on the oil-tea seeds better and enhancing the drying effect.

[0048] For a further optimized solution, the air distribution assembly includes an air distribution cavity 14 arranged in the drying cavity 11. The bottom end of the air distribution cavity 14 is communicated with the drying cavity 11 through a plurality of air distribution holes 44, and an air distribution head 43 for improving the air distribution uniformity is installed at the outlet end of the air distribution holes 44. The air distribution cavity 14 and the air distribution holes 44 evenly distribute the hot air to the drying cavity 11, and the air outlet 45 further optimizes the air distribution effect. During operation, the hot air enters the air distribution cavity 14 and evenly blows towards the oil-tea seeds in the drying cavity 11 through the air distribution holes 44 and the air outlet 45, making the hot air more evenly distributed in the drying cavity 11, ensuring uniform drying of the oil-tea seeds and improving the drying quality.

[0049] For a further optimized solution, the air distribution head 43 includes a fixing pipe 46 threadedly installed at the outlet end of the air distribution hole 44. A through hole 47 is formed through the fixing pipe 46, and an air distribution wheel 48 is rotatably connected in the through hole 47. The fixing pipe 46 of the air distribution head 43 is used for installation, and the air distribution wheel 48 can rotate to change the blowing direction of the hot air and enhance the air distribution uniformity. The hot air passes through the through hole 47 of the fixing pipe 46 and pushes the air distribution wheel 48 to rotate, so that the hot air is blown out in different directions, further improving the air distribution uniformity, making each part of the oil-tea seeds receive more uniform heat and enhancing the drying quality. At the same time, when the air distribution wheel 48 rotates, it can make the hot air diffuse around, avoid the hot air directly blowing on the oil-tea seeds, and at the same time more conveniently form convection to accelerate the loss of moisture.

[0050] For a further optimized solution, a plurality of adjusting motors 33 are arranged in the drying cavity 11. The output end of the adjusting motor 33 is drivingly connected with an adjusting screw rod 34. Threaded sections 35 with opposite thread directions at both ends are arranged on the adjusting screw rod 34, and the two threaded sections 35 are respectively in threaded transmission with the radio frequency electrode plates 3. The adjusting motor 33 drives the adjusting screw rod 34 to rotate, and uses the threaded sections 35 to make the two radio frequency electrode plates 3 move relative to each other to adjust the distance between the electrode plates. When the adjusting motor 33 is started, it drives the adjusting screw rod 34 to rotate, and the two radio frequency electrode plates 3 approach or move away from each other under the action of the two threaded sections 35 with opposite thread directions. According to the drying requirements of the oil-tea seeds, the radio frequency electric field intensity can be flexibly adjusted to improve the drying efficiency and adaptability.

[0051] In a further optimized solution, the return air chamber 13 includes a plurality of first ventilation holes 49 and second ventilation holes 410, the first ventilation holes 49 are connected to the bottom end of the side wall of the drying chamber 11, the second ventilation holes 410 are connected to the wind box 411 arranged on the side wall of the drying box 1, and the wind box 411 is connected to the return air port of the air heat pump 4 through the return air duct 412. The hot air at the bottom of the drying chamber 11 enters the return air chamber 13 through the first ventilation holes 49, then enters the wind box 411 through the second ventilation holes 410, and finally returns to the air heat pump 4 through the return air duct 412, realizing the recycling of hot air, improving energy utilization, reducing energy consumption, and removing moisture from the returned hot air to prevent the moisture from affecting the drying process.

[0052] In one embodiment of the present application, the inner cavities of the drying chamber 11, the air distribution chamber 14 and the return air chamber 13 are respectively provided with insulation layers for heat insulation to avoid heat loss, while also avoiding the impact of the drying process on the outside world and reducing the impact of high temperature on the equipment.

[0053] To further optimize the solution, a heat pump module is provided in the air heat pump 4, and the heat pump module is used to recycle the waste heat in the return air. The heat pump module in the air heat pump 4 recycles the waste heat in the return air to improve the energy utilization efficiency. During the hot air circulation process, the heat pump module recycles the heat of the return air, further reducing the energy consumption of the dryer, improving the energy utilization efficiency, and saving energy costs.

[0054] In one embodiment of the present application, the heat pump module is a device that can efficiently transfer heat from a low-temperature heat source to a high-temperature heat source, and it works based on the reverse Carnot cycle principle. Its working process generally includes four main components: an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser, and an expansion valve.

[0055] Evaporator: Low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant absorbs heat from low-temperature heat sources such as air, water or soil in the evaporator and evaporates into gas.

[0056] Compressor: The gaseous refrigerant is sucked in and compressed by the compressor, causing its pressure and temperature to increase.

[0057] Condenser: High-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the condenser, releases heat to a high-temperature heat source such as indoor air, and condenses into liquid.

[0058] Expansion valve: Liquid refrigerant passes through the expansion valve to throttle and reduce pressure, becoming low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant, and enters the evaporator again to complete a cycle.

[0059] Heat pumps have a wide range of application fields. In the household field, common examples include air-source heat pump water heaters and ground-source heat pump air conditioning systems. Air-source heat pumps use air as the heat source, are easy to install, and can provide domestic hot water and indoor heating. Ground-source heat pumps utilize shallow geothermal resources underground, have a higher energy efficiency ratio, and operate stably, but the upfront installation cost is relatively high. In the industrial field, heat pumps can be used in processes such as drying, distillation, and evaporation to recover waste heat and improve energy utilization efficiency. In the commercial field, such as hotels, shopping malls, office buildings, etc., heat pump systems can meet the needs of heating, cooling, and domestic hot water.

[0060] Compared with traditional heating or cooling methods, heat pumps have significant advantages. They have outstanding energy-saving effects, can convert low-grade heat energy into high-grade heat energy, reduce energy consumption, and lower operating costs. At the same time, heat pumps are environmentally friendly, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and meet the requirements of sustainable development. However, heat pumps also have some limitations. For example, the heating performance of air-source heat pumps will decline in low-temperature environments and require auxiliary heating devices; the installation of ground-source heat pumps is restricted by site conditions, and the upfront investment is relatively large.

[0061] For a further optimized solution, a number of support feet 17 are provided at the bottom end of the drying box 1, and a movable component for conveniently adjusting the position is telescopically arranged inside the support feet 17. The support feet 17 provide support, and the movable component can be telescoped to conveniently adjust the position of the dryer. When the dryer needs to be moved, the movable component is extended, and after moving to the designated position, the movable component is contracted to fix the dryer, enhancing the mobility convenience of the dryer and facilitating the installation, commissioning, and maintenance of the equipment.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present application, the movable component includes a storage hole 18 opened inside the support foot 17. An elevating motor 19 is installed inside the storage hole 18. The elevating motor 19 drives the elevating bolt to rotate through the meshing of the driving gear 110 and the driven gear 111, and then drives the elevating plate 113 threadedly connected to the elevating screw 112 to rise and fall inside the storage hole 18, so that the roller 114 at the bottom end of the elevating plate 113 enters and exits the storage hole 18, thereby facilitating movement.

[0063] In an embodiment of the present application, a limit seat 115 is provided at the bottom end of the support foot 17 to support the end of the elevating screw 112 and improve stability. At the same time, the limit seat 115 can also be used to limit the elevating plate 113 to prevent the elevating plate 113 from disengaging.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present application, each chamber on the drying box 1 is provided with an openable and closable door and window. The door and window corresponding to the drying chamber 11 is also provided with an observation window corresponding to the material loading mechanism 2, which is convenient for observing the drying degree of the camellia seeds.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present application, the control module 32 can control the radio frequency power, the radio frequency plate spacing, the material temperature, the wind speed, the internal humidity of the material, the conveyor belt speed, and the hot air temperature. The opening and closing of the radio frequency and the parameter regulation are adaptively controlled according to the material temperature.
