However, traditional drum dryers often have problems such as high energy consumption, low drying efficiency and thermal pollution to the environment during the drying process, which need to be improved and optimized. Utility Model Content

[0003] 1. Technical issues to be resolved

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a drum-type heat pump drying machine to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] (II) Technical solution

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: including a casing, characterized in that the casing is divided into two layers, separated by a water receiving tray, the upper layer is provided with a drying drum slot, the right side of the drying drum slot is provided with a slot door and a plurality of through holes on the surface, the left side of the lower layer is provided with an air inlet fan, a compressor, and a driving motor, the right side of the compressor is provided with an evaporator and a condenser, and the right side of the evaporator is provided with an air outlet fan; an electronic expansion valve is provided between the evaporator and the condenser, an air outlet temperature and humidity sensor is provided between the air outlet fan and the evaporator, an air inlet temperature and humidity sensor is provided between the condenser and the drying drum slot, and an air inlet and a drain are provided on the left side of the lower layer of the casing, the air inlet is connected to the air inlet fan, and the drain is connected to the water receiving tray. When the system is started, the evaporator, condenser, compressor, and electronic expansion valve are used to send heat into the drying drum slot, and the hot air is blown onto the material, and the moisture on the material evaporates and is discharged from the water receiving tray, and the cycle is continuous to achieve a drying effect.

[0007] Preferably, it includes a circulation system, a refrigerant circulation loop and an air circulation loop. The compressor is connected to the condenser, the electronic expansion valve, and the evaporator through a pipeline to form the refrigerant circulation loop; the drying drum tank is connected to the air outlet fan, the evaporator, and the condenser through a pipeline to form the air circulation loop. After placing the material in the drying drum tank, the system is started. First, the compressor compresses the refrigerant to make it a high-temperature, high-pressure gas. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas dissipates heat after passing through the condenser and becomes a high-pressure liquid. After that, the high-pressure liquid refrigerant enters the electronic expansion valve, and then the pressure suddenly decreases, causing the liquid refrigerant to quickly become a low-temperature, low-pressure liquid refrigerant. The low-temperature, low-pressure liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator, where it absorbs external heat, causing the refrigerant to become a gas, and then returns to the compressor to complete the refrigerant cycle. The outdoor fresh air is forced into the drying drum tank through the air inlet fan, and the air in the drying drum tank is passed into the evaporator through the air outlet fan, and enters the condenser after heat exchange. The hot air is exchanged in the condenser into hot air and passed into the drying drum tank to mix with the fresh air introduced from the air inlet fan. The formed mixed hot air is blown onto the material, and the moisture on the material evaporates to achieve the drying effect. The precipitated moisture is discharged from the water receiving tray, and the wet air is forced to be discharged from the air outlet fan and re-enters the evaporator to achieve circulation.

[0008] Preferably, a control system is included, which uses the inlet temperature and humidity sensor and the outlet temperature and humidity sensor to monitor the real-time temperature and humidity of drying and feed back to the controller, and controls the speed of the drive motor through the controller, drives the central axis of the drying drum tank to rotate around the axis, controls the speed of the inlet fan and the outlet fan, controls the opening of the electronic expansion valve, and controls the operating frequency of the compressor. Therefore, the user can adjust the drying conditions according to actual needs, control the system to adjust the above parameters, obtain the drying time when the set drying conditions are reached, and after the drying is completed, the system stops running. The utility model provides a drum-type heat pump dryer, which uses the design of refrigerant circulation and wind circulation to effectively utilize heat and improve the drying efficiency. At the same time, the refrigerant flow is controlled by adjusting the electronic expansion valve to achieve energy-saving effects. When the system is running, the controller improves the reliability of the dryer by adjusting the speed of the drying drum tank, the speed of the inlet fan and the outlet fan, the opening of the electronic expansion valve, and the operating frequency of the compressor, which is convenient for users to use.

[0009] (III) Beneficial effects

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the utility model provides a drum-type heat pump dryer, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] 1. The drum heat pump dryer uses the design of refrigerant circulation and air circulation to effectively utilize heat and improve drying efficiency. At the same time, the refrigerant flow is controlled by adjusting the electronic expansion valve to achieve energy-saving effects.

[0012] 2. The controller of the drum heat pump dryer improves the reliability of the dryer and facilitates user use by adjusting the rotation speed of the drying drum tank, the speed of the air inlet fan and the air outlet fan, the opening of the electronic expansion valve and the operating frequency of the compressor.

When the system starts, the evaporator 2, condenser 3, compressor 9 and electronic expansion valve 4 are used to send heat into the drying drum tank 1, and the hot air is blown onto the material, and the moisture on the material evaporates and is discharged from the water receiving tray 11, and the cycle is continuously repeated to achieve a drying effect.

[0023] Further, see Figure 6 , including a circulation system, a refrigerant circulation loop and an air circulation loop.

After placing the material in the drying drum tank 1, the system is started. First, the compressor 9 compresses the refrigerant to make it a high-temperature, high-pressure gas. After passing through the condenser 3, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas dissipates heat and becomes a high-pressure liquid. After that, the high-pressure liquid refrigerant enters the electronic expansion valve 4, and then the pressure suddenly decreases, causing the liquid refrigerant to quickly become a low-temperature, low-pressure liquid refrigerant. The low-temperature, low-pressure liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator 2, where it absorbs external heat, causing the refrigerant to become a gaseous state and return to the compressor 9 to complete the refrigerant cycle. Outdoor fresh air is forced into the drying drum tank 1 through the air inlet fan 7, and the air in the drying drum tank 1 is passed into the evaporator 2 through the air outlet fan 8, and enters the condenser 3 after heat exchange.
