Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of humidity monitoring in grain drying towers, and more particularly to a humidity monitoring system for a constant heat circulation total heat recovery grain drying tower. Background Technology
[0002] Most existing grain drying equipment lacks online humidity monitoring and closed-loop control, making it impossible to accurately collect and adjust the real-time moisture content of the material during the drying process. It relies solely on manual experience or periodic sampling for judgment, resulting in poor stability and uniformity in the drying process, easily leading to under-drying, over-drying, and localized overheating, thus affecting material quality and production efficiency. Furthermore, traditional drying systems lack humidity sensors, making it impossible to dynamically adjust heating power, circulating air volume, and drying time based on actual material humidity changes. This results in high energy consumption, low automation, and difficulty in meeting the demands for continuous, intelligent, and high-quality grain drying. Summary of the Invention

[0033] Example 1
[0034] Reference Figures 1-8 This first embodiment of the invention provides a humidity monitoring system for a constant-heat circulation total heat recovery grain drying tower, comprising a preheating component 100, a drying component 200, and a cooling component 300. The three components work together to achieve preheating and heating of the grain, constant-heat drying, total heat recovery, and cooling discharge. This system specifically addresses the problems of low thermal efficiency, serious heat waste, uneven drying, and easy deterioration of grain in traditional drying towers, significantly improving the efficiency and quality of grain drying and adapting to the batch drying needs of various grains such as wheat, corn, and rice.
[0035] Furthermore, the preheating component 100 is a pre-treatment unit for grain drying, realizing the initial heating of grain and preheating of hot air. In this embodiment, the preheating component 100 includes an upper tower body 101, a box body 102 disposed on the upper tower body 101, and a preheating component 103 disposed in the box body 102. The upper tower body 101 is formed by welding insulated steel plates, and the inner wall is provided with an insulation layer. The box body 102 is fixed to one side of the upper tower body 101, and the preheating component 103 blows hot air into the upper tower body 101 for preheating.
[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the preheating component 103 includes a first blower 1031 disposed inside the housing 102 and a heater 1032 disposed inside the housing 102. A first air inlet 1033 and a first air outlet 1034 are provided on the upper tower 101. The first air inlet 1033 is located on the side of the upper tower 101 close to the housing 102, while the first air outlet 1034 is located on the side of the upper tower 101 away from the housing 102. The position of the first air outlet 1034 is higher than the position of the first air inlet 1033. The first blower 1031 blows air toward the first air inlet 1033, and the heater 1032 is disposed at the rear end of the first blower 1031.
[0037] Preferably, the heater 1032 has a higher heat conversion efficiency and a faster heating rate than traditional electric heaters, which can quickly raise the airflow to the preset temperature. The first blower 1031 blows air towards the first air inlet 1033, and the hot airflow rises along the upper tower 101, forming a countercurrent heat exchange with the falling grain. The grain preheating temperature is raised evenly. In addition, because the first air outlet 1034 is designed to be higher than the first air inlet 1033, the contact time between the hot airflow and the grain is extended, increasing the uniformity of grain preheating and avoiding uneven drying caused by local grain not being preheated.
[0038] Furthermore, the present invention also includes a drying component 200, which is the core drying unit of the entire grain drying tower, realizing constant heat drying of grain, hot air circulation and total heat recovery.
[0039] In this embodiment, the drying assembly 200 includes several stacked drying towers 201, a circulation box 202 disposed on each drying tower 201, and a circulating component 203 disposed in the circulation box 202. Each of the several drying towers 201 is provided with a feeding inlet 204 for feeding grain. The several drying towers 201 are stacked, and the upper tower 101 is disposed at the top of the several drying towers 201. The feeding inlet 204 is opened on the side wall of the drying tower 201. Under normal conditions, the feeding inlet 204 is normally closed. However, when inspection or special circumstances are required, the operator opens the feeding inlet 204 to handle or transport the grain.
[0040] Furthermore, each drying tower body 201 is provided with a through hole 104. A mounting partition 105 is provided between the drying tower bodies 201 and the drying tower body 201. The mounting partition 105 is bolted to the drying tower body 201. A feeding plate 106 is rotatably connected to the mounting partition 105. The feeding plate 106 corresponds to the mounting partition 105 and its size corresponds to the through hole 104. The feeding plate 106 is controlled to rotate by a motor 505. After rotation, it can block or expose the through hole 104 of the drying tower body 201. When the grain is being dried, it will be dried for the same amount of time in each drying tower body 201. After the time is up, the motor 505 drives the feeding plate 106 to rotate, the feeding plate 106 opens, and the grain falls from the through hole 104 into the drying tower body 201 below to continue the drying operation.
[0041] Preferably, a locking element is provided on the feeding plate 106. The locking element plays a sealing role to prevent the grain from leaking out from the gap between the feeding plate 106 and the through hole 104. In this embodiment, the locking element is a sealing ring provided on the feeding plate 106. Furthermore, a recess is formed at the lower end of the drying tower body 201.
[0042] The stacked design of multiple drying towers 201 enables layered drying of grain and extends the drying path; the feeding plate 106 can be adjusted to open and close through locking parts to control the grain conveying interval, ensuring that the grain is in full contact with the hot airflow and avoiding incomplete drying.
[0043] Preferably, a third air inlet 205 and a third air outlet 206 are provided on the side wall of each drying tower body 201, and the third air inlet 205 and the third air outlet 206 are located on the same side.
[0044] Furthermore, the present invention also includes a circulating component 203. In this embodiment, the circulating component 203 includes a circulating air duct 2031 disposed within the circulating housing 202, a dust collector 2032 disposed within the circulating air duct 2031, a pulse generator 2033 disposed on the dust collector 2032, a superconducting heat recovery unit 2034 disposed within the circulating air duct 2031, a condenser 2035 disposed within the circulating air duct 2031, and a superconducting heater 2036 disposed within the circulating air duct 2031. The upper end of the circulating air duct 2031 corresponds to the third air outlet 206 of the drying tower 201, and the lower end corresponds to the third air inlet 205. 2032, 2033, 2034, 2035, and 2036 are sequentially arranged at the upper end of the circulating air duct 2031. A water collection tray 2037 is provided at the lower end of the superconducting heat recovery unit 2034, condenser 2035, and superconducting heater 2036. The water collection tray 2037 is mainly used to collect the water formed by excessive condensation in the condenser 2035. The blower 2038 is arranged facing the third air inlet 205. The evaporator 2039, compressor 2040 and condenser 2035 are connected to the circulating refrigerant passage 2041. A circulating pump 2043 is provided between the evaporator 2039 and condenser 2035.
[0045] The circulating air duct 2031 and the drying tower 201 form a closed loop. The blower 2038 first blows hot air into the drying tower 201, and then the return air returns to the circulating air duct 2031 through the third air outlet 206. The return air first passes through the dust collector 2032, where most of the dust is filtered and collected. Then the humid air passes through the superconducting heat recovery unit 2034, the evaporator 2039, and the water condensation is discharged to the water collection pan 2037. The dehumidified air passes through the superconducting heater 2036 and the condenser 2035, where it is heated into dry hot air and continues to participate in the subsequent circulation.
[0046] The circulating air duct 2031 and the drying tower 201 form a closed loop, with the hot airflow circulating between the tower and the air duct. The superconducting heat recovery device 2034 recovers the heat from the drying exhaust gas. The dust collector 2032 works in conjunction with the pulse generator 2033, and the blower 400 periodically blows to clean the filter bag of the dust collector 2032 to prevent dust blockage. The superconducting heater 2036 and the condenser 2035 work together to maintain a stable temperature of the circulating airflow, achieving constant heat drying and preventing the quality of the grain from declining due to temperature fluctuations. The water collection tray 2037 collects condensate to prevent water backflow from affecting the drying effect. The condensate can be recycled for cleaning, saving water.
[0047] Furthermore, a plurality of jetting rods 2042 are provided on the pulse generator 2033, and the jetting rods 2042 extend into the dust collector 2032. A jetting component 400 is provided inside the dust collector 2032. In this embodiment, the jetting component 400 includes a first return air recovery pipe 401 provided inside the dust collector 2032, a second return air recovery pipe 402 provided inside the dust collector 2032, and a gas storage pipe 403 provided at the lower end of the second return air recovery pipe 402. The first return air recovery pipe 401 is connected to the second return air recovery pipe 402, and a ventilation pipe 404 is connected between the second return air recovery pipe 402 and the gas storage pipe 403. A recovery component is provided inside the dust collector 2032.
[0048] Furthermore, openings are provided at both ends of the gas storage pipe 403, and a jet pipe 405 is provided in the middle section of the gas storage pipe 403. A compression block 406 is slidably connected in the opening, and a pressure block 407 is slidably connected on the second return air recovery pipe 402.
[0049] Furthermore, a recovery component is installed inside the dust collector 2032 to drive the sliding movement of the compression block 406 and the lower pressing block 407. In this embodiment, the recovery component includes a rotating block 500 rotatably connected inside the dust collector 2032, a first swing rod 501 disposed on the rotating block 500, a second swing rod 502 rotatably connected inside the dust collector 2032, and a drive rod 503 hinged to the lower end of the second swing rod 502. The rotating block 500 is connected to the blowing rod via a bearing. On the 2042 support shaft, the rotating block 500 is integrally spindle-shaped, and both first swing rods 501 are hinged to both ends of the rotating block 500. The other end of each first swing rod 501 is hinged to the second swing rod 502. In the initial state, the first swing rod 501 is horizontal, while the second swing rod 502 is vertical. The lower end of each second swing rod 502 is hinged to the drive rod 503. The other end of the drive rod 503 is connected to the compression block 406, and the connection method is also hinged.
[0050] Preferably, the middle sections of the two second swing rods 502 are hinged on the same horizontal plane. A lower pressure rod 504 is also hinged to the rotating block 500. The hinge position of the lower pressure rod 504 is located near one of the first swing rods 501 on the rotating block 500. The lower end of the lower pressure rod 504 is hinged to the lower pressure block 407. When the rotating block 500 rotates, it will pull the two first swing rods 501 towards each other or push them away from each other, thereby causing the two second swing rods 502 to swing, thus lowering the pressure rod 501. The compression blocks 406 at the ends are pulled toward each other or away from each other. When the two compression blocks 406 move toward each other, they will compress the return air in the gas storage pipe 403, thereby increasing the pressure and temperature of the return air. At the same time, when the rotating block 500 rotates, it will continuously drive the lower pressure rod 504 to move up and down, thereby driving the lower pressure block 407 to move up and down. The upward movement of the lower pressure block 407 will draw the return air into the second return air recovery pipe 402, while the downward movement of the lower pressure block 407 will force the return air into the gas storage pipe 403.
[0051] Furthermore, a cathode plate 507 is provided on one of the compression blocks 406, and an anode plate 506 is provided on the other compression block 406. A circuit is provided between the anode plate 506 and the cathode plate 507, forming a connection loop between the cathode plate 507 and the anode plate 506, thereby forming a high-voltage electrostatic field. When the dust-laden gas passes through the high-voltage electrostatic field, it is electrically separated. After the dust particles combine with negative ions and become negatively charged, they tend to discharge and deposit on the surface of the anode plate 506.
[0052] When the return air is sent out from the third outlet 206, it enters the second flue gas recovery pipe through the first flue gas recovery pipe. The operator starts the motor 505, which drives the rotating block 500 to rotate. When the rotating block 500 rotates, it pushes the two first swing rods 501 away from each other, thereby driving the two second swing rods 502 to swing, which in turn pushes the lower compression block 406 towards each other. When the two compression blocks 406 move towards each other, they push the return air in the main compression pipe. When the rotating block 500 rotates, it continuously drives the lower pressure rod 504 to move up and down, thereby driving the lower pressure block 407 to move up and down. The upward movement of the lower pressure block 407 will draw steam into the second flue gas recovery pipe, and the downward movement of the lower pressure block 407 will force the steam into the gas storage pipe 403, thereby realizing pulse jet operation and thus realizing pulse dust removal.
[0053] Furthermore, the present invention also includes a cooling assembly 300, which is a finishing unit after drying, realizing grain cooling and waste heat recovery. In this embodiment, the cooling assembly 300 includes a bottom tower body 3001 disposed at the lower end of the drying tower body 201, a cooling box body 3002 disposed on the bottom tower body 3001, and a cooling component 301 inside the cooling box body 3002. A second air inlet 3003 and a second air outlet 3004 are provided on the bottom tower body 3001. The second air inlet 3003 is disposed at the end of the bottom tower body 3001 away from the cooling box body 3002, and the second air outlet 3004 is disposed at the end of the bottom tower body 3001 close to the cooling box body 3002. The position of the second air inlet 3003 is higher than the position of the second air outlet 3004.
[0054] In this embodiment, the cooling component 301 includes a second blower 3011 disposed in the cooling box 3002 and a heat recovery unit 3012 disposed in the cooling box 3002. The second blower 3011 and the heat recovery unit 3012 are connected in series, and the heat recovery unit 3012 is connected to the heater 1032 of the preheating component 100.
[0055] Furthermore, a partition plate 105 is also provided between the bottom tower body 3001 and the drying tower body 201. A receiving window is provided on the bottom tower body 3001, and the receiving window corresponds to the partition plate 105. When the discharge plate 106 on the partition plate 105 is opened, the grain falls into the bottom tower body 3001 through the receiving window.
[0056] The dried grain falls into the bottom tower 3001. The second blower 3011 draws in cold air, which is then blown onto the grain after the superconducting heat recovery device 2034 absorbs the residual heat of the grain. This maintains a stable cooling rate for the grain and prevents it from becoming damp and deteriorating due to natural cooling. The moisture content of the cooled grain remains stable within a safe range.
[0057] Furthermore, an online grain moisture monitoring module is installed at the discharge port of each drying tower. This module adopts a mature and standardized online measurement unit, which mainly includes a microwave moisture detection unit, a signal conditioning unit, and a data processing unit.
[0058] During the drying process, the grain is conveyed downward through the discharge port of the drying tower. The microwave humidity detection unit continuously emits microwave detection signals to the grain flowing through it. By utilizing the absorption and attenuation characteristics of moisture on microwave energy, the humidity response signal inside the grain is obtained non-contactly. After the signal is transmitted to the signal conditioning unit, it is processed by filtering, amplification, temperature drift compensation and noise suppression to convert the original analog signal into an electrical signal.
[0059] The data processing unit receives the conditioned signal and calculates the real-time moisture content of the grain based on the preset calibration curve and algorithm. This value is then transmitted to the control system of the drying tower in real time. The control system compares the real-time moisture content with the set target moisture content range. When the real-time moisture content is higher than the upper limit of the target range, the control system automatically increases the heating power of the superconducting heater 2036 and increases the circulating air volume to prolong the residence time of the grain in the drying tower and enhance the drying effect. When the real-time moisture content is lower than the lower limit of the target range, the control system reduces the heating power and decreases the circulating air volume to prevent the grain from becoming too dry or cracking. When the real-time moisture content is within the target range, the control system maintains stable operation of the current drying parameters.
[0060] The grain moisture online monitoring module continuously collects, processes, and feeds back signals throughout the process, forming a collaborative closed loop with the circulating component 203, the preheating component 100, and the cooling component 300, so that the moisture content of the discharged grain is always kept within a stable range, improving the uniformity of drying and the qualified rate of finished products.
[0061] Operation process: First, put the grain into the upper tower 101, start the preheating component 100, blow air with the first blower 1031, heat the airflow with the heater 1032, and the hot airflow enters the upper tower 101 along the first air inlet 1033 to exchange heat with the grain in a countercurrent manner. The grain is initially preheated to 30-40℃. After the temperature of the hot airflow drops to 35-45℃, it enters the drying component 200.
[0062] Preheated grain falls into the lower drying tower 201 through the through hole 104. The drying component 200 is activated, and the blower 2038 drives the hot airflow into the tower along the third air inlet 205 to dry the grain. The hot airflow carrying water vapor enters the circulating air duct 2031 from the third air outlet 206. After dust removal by the dust collector 2032 and cleaning of the filter bag by the pulse generator 2033, the heat is recovered by the superconducting heat recovery unit 2034, the condenser 2035 condenses and dehumidifies, and the superconducting heater 2036 heats up to the set temperature. The hot airflow re-enters the drying tower 201 to form a circulation. The heat in the exhaust gas is further recovered by the dust collector 2032 and the buffer tank in the centralized discharge pipe, improving thermal efficiency.
[0063] Finally, the dried grain falls into the bottom tower 3001. The cooling component 300 is activated, and the second blower 3011 draws in cold air. After the heat recovery unit 3012 absorbs the residual heat of the grain, the air is blown onto the grain, cooling it to room temperature. The recovered residual heat is transferred to the preheating component 100 to achieve full heat recovery. The cooled grain is discharged through the outlet of the bottom tower 3001, completing the drying process.
