The insulation boards, insulation door, and fan are combined to form an energy regulating chamber, which covers one end of the open drying room. A fresh air inlet is provided above one end of the open drying room, and the fresh air inlet opens upwards. A heat pump evaporator is provided below the fresh air inlet at one end of the open drying room. A return air valve regulator is provided on the side of the open drying room near the fresh air inlet. A heat pump condenser is provided below the return air valve regulator at one end of the open drying room. A heat recovery unit is provided inside the open drying room, and the heat recovery unit is connected to the fresh air inlet, the heat pump evaporator, the return air valve regulator, and the heat pump condenser.

[0032] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.
[0033] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values of the components and steps described in these embodiments do not limit the scope of this application. It should also be understood that, for ease of description, the structures, proportions, sizes, etc., shown in the accompanying drawings are only for the purpose of illustrative purposes and to facilitate understanding and reading by those skilled in the art, and are not intended to limit the implementation conditions of this application. Any modifications to the structure, changes in proportions, or adjustments to size, without affecting the effectiveness and purpose achieved by this application, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this application. Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent figures.
[0034] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" is usually based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this application; the directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours relative to the outline of each component itself.

It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.
[0036] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application.
