Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of heat exchangers for grain storage facilities, and particularly to air-temperature heat exchangers for grain storage facilities. Background Technology

[0002] Grain warehouse ventilation refers to using fans to force cold, dry air from outside into the grain pile, replacing the hot, humid air inside and achieving cooling and moisture reduction. Generally, grains with high moisture content and high temperature require both cooling and moisture reduction, allowing for normal ventilation. However, for already dried grains (i.e., those with moisture content within safe storage standards), cooling and ventilation are necessary in winter after acceptance to prevent condensation and ensure safety; further moisture reduction is not required. Excessive moisture loss during ventilation after the grain moisture content has reached safe storage standards is the main cause of increased grain storage losses. The greater the moisture loss, the greater the loss. Theoretically, in a grain warehouse with a single capacity of 5000 tons, a 0.1% reduction in moisture content results in the loss of more than 5 tons of grain. Under normal conditions, a grain storage cycle of 3-5 years typically results in a moisture loss rate exceeding 0.7%, sometimes reaching over 1.0%, especially in dry winter climates where the losses are substantial.

[0003] When cold air from outside the grain silo is forced into the grain pile, it not only displaces heat but also exchanges moisture to some extent. Because the enthalpy of cold air is lower than that of hot air, meaning cold air carries less moisture, to achieve cooling and ventilation without moisture loss, cold air with an absolute humidity value similar to that inside the grain pile must be selected. When the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the grain silo exceeds 8°C, on a sunny day, the absolute humidity value of the cold air outside the silo is lower than that of the hot air inside the grain pile. Current technologies rely on manual operation for cooling and ventilation of grain silos, which cannot achieve cooling and ventilation without moisture loss. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a device that achieves cooling and heat exchange through circulating (non-displacement) ventilation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an air-temperature heat exchanger for grain silos. It has an ingenious structure that enables efficient and convenient heat exchange of hot air inside the grain silo. It operates in a closed pipeline and returns the heat to the grain silo after exchange, achieving closed-loop cooling. This ensures that only heat is exchanged without any moisture loss.

[0005] The technical solution for achieving the objective of this invention is as follows: This invention comprises a base frame and a controller; a heat exchange shell is provided on the base frame, a heat exchange chamber is provided inside the heat exchange shell, a hot air inlet and a hot air outlet that can be connected to a grain silo are provided on the heat exchange shell, a heat exchange inlet and a heat exchange outlet are also provided on the heat exchange shell, an exhaust fan is fixedly installed inside the hot air outlet, a heat exchange fan is installed inside the heat exchange outlet, both the exhaust fan and the heat exchange fan are electrically connected to the controller, a heat exchanger is provided inside the heat exchange chamber, and the heat exchanger has multiple parallel first ventilation channels and multiple parallel second ventilation channels, each first ventilation channel having two... Each end of the first ventilation channel is connected to the hot air inlet and the hot air outlet respectively. Each first ventilation channel forms an air intake channel with the hot air inlet and the hot air outlet. Each second ventilation channel is connected to the heat exchange inlet and the heat exchange outlet respectively. Each second ventilation channel forms a heat exchange channel with the hot air inlet and the hot air outlet. The first ventilation channels and the second ventilation channels are staggered and not connected. The air intake channel and the heat exchange channel are also not connected. The exhaust fan draws the hot air in the grain silo into the air intake channel, and the heat exchange fan draws the cold air into the heat exchange channel and exchanges heat with the hot air passing through the air intake channel.

[0006] Furthermore, the aforementioned heat exchange shell is equipped with a hot gas connecting pipe, which is connected to the heat exchange outlet. The heat exchange shell is also equipped with a heat exchange connecting pipe, which is connected to the heat exchange outlet. An exhaust fan is fixedly installed inside the hot gas connecting pipe. The exhaust fan draws the hot gas in the grain silo to the air inlet channel for heat exchange and cooling, and then pours it back into the grain silo through the hot gas connecting pipe. The heat exchange fan is fixedly installed in the heat exchange connecting pipe. The heat exchange fan draws cold air into the heat exchange channel and, after exchanging heat with the hot air in the air inlet channel, exits it through the heat exchange connecting pipe.

[0007] Furthermore, the heat exchange shell is provided with a side compartment, and the hot air inlet is located on the side compartment. The upper and lower surfaces of the heat exchange chamber are each provided with two opposing guide rails. The length of the guide rails is greater than or equal to the length of the heat exchange chamber. Each guide rail has a limiting plate at the end away from the hot air inlet. The extension direction of each guide rail is parallel to the extension direction of the air inlet channel. The upper and lower surfaces of the heat exchanger are each provided with guide grooves that are adapted to each guide rail. The heat exchanger is installed into the heat exchange chamber through the sliding fit of each guide rail and guide groove. The side compartment is rotatably connected to the heat exchange shell and fixed to the heat exchange shell by locking components.

[0008] Furthermore, each limiting plate is equipped with a buffer assembly that can cushion the heat exchanger during the sliding installation process. The length of each guide slide rail is greater than the length of the heat exchange cavity. The buffer assembly includes a limiting slide hole on the limiting plate, a limiting slide rod slidably disposed in the limiting slide hole, a buffer pressure block disposed on the limiting slide rod near the end of the heat exchanger, a buffer limiting block disposed on the limiting slide rod away from the heat exchanger, and a buffer spring sleeved on the limiting slide rod. The diameter of the buffer pressure block is greater than the diameter of the limiting slide rod. The two ends of the buffer spring act on the buffer pressure block and the limiting plate, respectively. Each buffer pressure block limits, presses, and cushions the slidingly installed heat exchanger through the sliding cooperation of the limiting slide rod and the limiting slide hole, as well as the continuous force of the buffer spring.

[0009] Furthermore, the heat exchange chamber is provided with multiple pressing arc rods on both the upper and lower bottom surfaces to press the heat exchanger together. The heat exchange chamber is also provided with a rotating base on both the upper and lower bottom surfaces. The pressing arc rods are provided with rotating shafts at both ends. The rotating bases are provided with rotating holes that are adapted to each rotating shaft. Each rotating shaft is fitted with a torsion spring. The two ends of the torsion springs act on the inner walls of the rotating shafts and rotating holes, respectively. The pressing arc rods are rotatably connected to the rotating bases through the cooperation of each rotating shaft and rotating hole, and are pressed against the heat exchanger by the continuous force of the torsion springs.

[0010] Furthermore, the heat exchanger comprises an upper cover plate, a lower cover plate, and multiple heat exchange plate assemblies stacked between the upper and lower cover plates. Each heat exchange plate assembly includes an upper partition plate, a cold-side fin, a lower partition plate, and a hot-side fin stacked sequentially from top to bottom. The upper and lower partition plates have the same length and width. A first ventilation channel is disposed on the hot-side fin, and a second ventilation channel is disposed on the cold-side fin. Both the hot-side and cold-side fins have wavy side fins on both sides. The extension direction of the side fins on both sides of the hot-side fin is parallel to the extension direction of the first ventilation channel, and the extension direction of the side fins on both sides of the cold-side fin is... The heat exchange plates are arranged parallel to the extension direction of the second ventilation channel. Both sides of the hot-side fins are pressed against hot-side seals. Each hot-side seal is parallel to the first ventilation channel. The hot-side fins are of the same length as the upper partition. After pressing against both sides of the hot-side fins, each hot-side seal is of the same width as the upper partition. Both sides of the cold-side fins are pressed against cold-side seals. Each cold-side seal is parallel to the second ventilation channel. The cold-side fins are of the same width as the upper partition. After pressing against both sides of the hot-side fins, each hot-side seal is of the same length as the upper partition. Multiple heat exchange plate groups are stacked and combined with the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate to form a heat exchanger in which the first ventilation channel and the second ventilation channel are arranged alternately.

[0011] Furthermore, temperature and humidity sensors are installed in both the hot air inlet and the outlet of the hot air connecting pipe, and each temperature and humidity sensor is electrically connected to the controller.

[0012] Furthermore, the aforementioned hot air connection pipe is equipped with a humidifier that can replenish moisture in the grain silo, and the humidifier is electrically connected to the controller.

[0013] Furthermore, the heat exchanger is equipped with a handle that allows it to be removed.

[0014] Furthermore, the top of the aforementioned heat exchange shell is provided with a lifting base for hoisting the heat exchange shell.

[0015] The present invention has the following positive effects: (1) The present invention sets up multiple first air inlet channels and multiple second air inlet channels in the heat exchanger. The hot air inlet, hot air outlet and the first air inlet channel form a closed air inlet channel, and the heat exchange inlet, heat exchange outlet and the second air inlet channel form a closed heat exchange channel. The air inlet channels and the heat exchange channels are not interconnected. The hot air in the grain silo and the cold air outside exchange heat in the heat exchanger without mixing, which effectively reduces the temperature of the grain silo and improves the energy utilization efficiency. At the same time, it also avoids the loss of moisture in the grain silo. The hot air in the grain silo is circulated and absorbed by the exhaust fan, and the heat exchange fan controls the heat exchange. The absorption flow of external cold air enables independent control of the hot air inside the grain silo and the external cold air. Through the cooperation of exhaust fans and heat exchange fans, the hot air inside the grain silo is circulated and cooled down step by step. At the same time, during the cooling process, the absolute isolation between the heat exchange channel and the air intake channel can prevent the loss of moisture inside the grain silo, enabling flexible operation and optimized heat exchange. In addition, the first and second air passages in the heat exchanger are staggered and not connected, ensuring a large heat exchange area and high efficiency, while also ensuring the compactness of the overall structure. The structure is ingenious, convenient and practical.

[0016] (2) The present invention uses hot gas connection pipe and heat exchange connection pipe to return the low temperature airflow after heat exchange to the grain silo to form a closed loop system, which improves heat recovery efficiency and reduces energy loss. The exhaust fan and heat exchange fan are fixed in the hot gas connection pipe and heat exchange connection pipe respectively, which has a high degree of integration, reduces external components, and facilitates installation and maintenance. The design of the hot gas connection pipe and heat exchange connection pipe clarifies the flow direction of the airflow, reduces turbulence, and improves the stability and efficiency of heat exchange.

[0017] (3) By setting a side compartment, the rotation of the side compartment facilitates the installation and disassembly of the heat exchanger. The cooperation between the guide rail and the guide groove on the heat exchanger ensures the accurate positioning of the heat exchanger and avoids misalignment. At the same time, the setting of the limiting plate can also ensure the accuracy of the heat exchanger installation and prevent the heat exchanger from falling off during the sliding process. Furthermore, the fixing of the locking parts ensures the overall sealing and stability.

[0018] (4) By setting up a buffer assembly, the limiting slide bar and buffer spring in the buffer assembly provide buffering force during the installation of the heat exchanger, reducing collision and wear. The continuous force of the buffer spring keeps the heat exchanger in a tight position during operation, reducing noise or performance degradation caused by vibration. The buffer pressure block automatically limits and presses the heat exchanger, making the installation process smoother and greatly reducing the need for manual adjustment, which is efficient and convenient.

[0019] (5) The present invention sets up a pressing arc rod, which presses the heat exchanger into the heat exchange chamber by the continuous force of the torsion spring, preventing loosening or displacement during operation and improving heat exchange efficiency. At the same time, the design of the torsion spring can absorb vibration during operation, reduce noise and structural fatigue. The rotation of the pressing arc rod can quickly press and release the heat exchanger, improving the overall maintenance efficiency.

[0020] (6) This invention constructs a heat exchanger by stacking multiple heat exchange plate groups consisting of upper baffles, cold-side fins, lower baffles, and hot-side fins. Both the hot-side and cold-side fins have wavy side fins on both sides. This densely stacked structure creates a large heat exchange surface area within a limited volume. The wavy side fins in the cold and hot side channels effectively disturb the airflow and disrupt the boundary layer, thereby greatly enhancing the turbulence effect and heat transfer process. This ensures efficient and sufficient heat exchange between the wet and hot exhaust gas from the grain silo and the external cold air. The hot-side and cold-side seals press against the sides of the hot-side and cold-side fins respectively, and... The separation of the upper and lower partitions forms a physically independent first and second ventilation channel, ensuring absolute isolation between the hot and humid exhaust gas inside the grain silo and the cold air outside. This not only prevents the risk of grain contamination or dampness caused by the mixing of media, but also ensures the purity and effectiveness of the heat exchange process, improving the safety and reliability of the entire system. Multiple heat exchange plate groups, along with the upper and lower cover plates, are stacked and pressed together to form a robust whole. The stacked structure has high mechanical strength and pressure resistance, capable of withstanding the airflow pressure in the channel and the assembly pre-tightening force, ensuring the structural stability and long service life of the heat exchanger during long-term operation.

[0021] (7) By setting temperature and humidity sensors at the hot air inlet and the outlet of the hot air connecting pipe, the temperature inside the grain warehouse can be monitored in real time by monitoring the temperature of the hot air. The temperature can be monitored to control the cooling of the grain warehouse step by step in real time. At the same time, the humidity sensor can monitor the loss of moisture during the heat exchange process, which further ensures the temperature and humidity inside the grain warehouse after heat exchange.

[0022] (8) By setting up a humidifier, the present invention can replenish the moisture in the grain warehouse in real time according to the humidity requirements in the grain warehouse.

[0023] (9) The design of the handle in this invention makes it convenient for users to take out or install the heat exchanger. The handle design will not interfere with the side compartment, which greatly simplifies the process of cleaning, inspecting and replacing the heat exchanger, making it efficient and convenient.

[0024] (10) By setting up a hoisting base, the heat exchange shell can be transferred by hoisting and installed with the base frame, which is safe and practical. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The heat exchange shell 2 is provided with a side compartment 3, and the hot air inlet 31 is located on the side compartment 3.

[0031] The heat exchanger 6 comprises an upper cover plate 6a, a lower cover plate 6b, and multiple heat exchange plate assemblies stacked between the upper cover plate 6a and the lower cover plate 6b. Each heat exchange plate assembly includes an upper partition plate 6c, a cold-side fin 6d, a lower partition plate 6e, and a hot-side fin 6f stacked sequentially from top to bottom. The upper partition plate 6c and the lower partition plate 6e have the same length and width. A first ventilation channel 61 is disposed on the hot-side fin 6f, and a second ventilation channel 62 is disposed on the cold-side fin 6d.

[0032] Temperature sensor a and humidity sensor b are installed in both the hot air inlet 31 and the outlet of the hot air connecting pipe, and each temperature sensor a and humidity sensor b is electrically connected to the controller.

[0033] The hot air connection pipe 4 is equipped with a humidifier 9 that can replenish the moisture in the grain silo, and the humidifier 9 is electrically connected to the controller.

[0034] The heat exchanger 6 is provided with a handle 65 for removing the heat exchanger 6.

[0035] The top of the heat exchange shell 2 is provided with a hoisting seat 21 for hoisting the heat exchange shell 2.

[0036] Working principle of the invention: During use, the heat exchanger shell 2 is installed on the base frame 1 via a crane or other lifting equipment connected to the lifting base 21. Then, the heat exchanger 6 is installed inside the heat exchange chamber. During installation, the guide grooves 63 on the heat exchanger 6 are connected to the corresponding guide rails 64 inside the heat exchange chamber, ensuring the stability and smooth installation of the heat exchanger 6. During installation, the buffer blocks 72 limit and cushion the sliding heat exchanger 6 through the sliding fit of the limiting slide rods 71 ​​and limiting slide holes, and the continuous force of the buffer springs 73. After the heat exchanger 6 enters the heat exchange chamber, the pressing arc rods 8 are rotatably connected to the rotating base 22 through the fit of the rotating shafts 81 and rotating holes 23, and press against the heat exchanger 6 through the continuous force of the torsion springs 82. The positioning on both sides ensures the accuracy and firmness of the heat exchanger 6 installation, thereby preventing vibration or displacement of the heat exchanger 6 during use. After the heat exchanger 6 is installed, each of the first ventilation channels 61 forms a one-way sealed air intake channel with the hot air inlet 31 and the hot air outlet, and each of the second ventilation channels 62 forms a one-way sealed heat exchange channel with the hot air inlet 31 and the hot air outlet. The exhaust fan 41 draws the hot air in the grain silo into the air intake channel for heat exchange and then pours it back into the grain silo through the hot air connecting pipe 4. The heat exchange fan 51 is fixedly installed in the heat exchange connecting pipe 5. The heat exchange fan 51 draws cold air into the heat exchange channel and, after exchanging heat with the hot air in the air intake channel, discharges it through the heat exchange connecting pipe 5, thereby realizing the heat exchange of the hot air in the grain silo. At the same time, the sealed heat exchange environment also avoids the loss of moisture in the grain silo, greatly improving the heat exchange efficiency and heat exchange quality of the grain silo.

[0037] During the heat exchange process, the controller sends drive signals to the exhaust fan 41 and the heat exchange fan 51. Both the exhaust fan 41 and the heat exchange fan 51 are variable frequency fans, and the airflow can be controlled. The exhaust fan 41 begins to extract the hot air from the grain silo. During the extraction process, the temperature sensor a and humidity sensor b at the hot air inlet 31 measure the initial temperature and humidity of the hot air in the grain silo. As the hot air passes through the air inlet channel, the heat exchange fan sends cold air into the heat exchange channel, where the hot air passing through the air inlet channel undergoes heat exchange treatment. After heat exchange, the hot air enters the hot air connecting pipe 4. The temperature sensor a and humidity sensor b on the hot air connecting pipe 4 measure the temperature and humidity after one heat exchange. When the measured temperature is still higher than the required temperature in the grain silo, After heat exchange, the gas enters the grain silo and is then extracted by the exhaust fan 41. This process is repeated multiple times, gradually cooling and exchanging heat until the gas in the grain silo reaches the required temperature. A humidity sensor b monitors whether there is moisture loss during the multiple heat exchange processes. When moisture loss occurs, or when the moisture content of the gas in the grain silo needs to be increased, the controller sends a drive signal to the humidifier 9. The humidifier 9 injects water vapor into the hot gas connection pipe 4, which enters the grain silo along with the hot gas. This allows for precise control of the temperature and humidity inside the grain silo and timely and efficient adjustment of the temperature and humidity according to the usage requirements of the grain silo. It has good adjustability and applicability, and its ingenious structure makes it convenient and practical.
