Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of grain drying, and particularly relates to a hot air circulation device for drying grain. Background Art

[0002] Mechanized grain drying is an important means to improve grain quality and reduce grain loss. At present, the drying equipment for bulk grain crops, such as corn and rice, all adopt an open-loop structure of hot air furnace plus drying tower. The hot air is discharged out of the machine after being used once, and most of the heat is discharged into the atmosphere with the hot air. There are generally problems of high energy consumption and low thermal efficiency, resulting in high drying costs, especially the use of hot air furnaces that burn fossil energy, which wastes energy seriously and seriously affects environmental safety. Therefore, realizing the recycling of hot air and improving the utilization rate of hot air is the main direction to improve drying efficiency.

[0003] A Chinese patent with announcement number CN212512130U discloses a hot air closed-cycle grain dryer, which includes a hot air furnace, a drying tower, a settling chamber and a heat exchange chamber connected in sequence. The air outlet of the hot air furnace is connected to the air inlet of a blower, and the air outlet of the blower is connected to the drying tower; the air outlet of the heat exchange chamber is connected to the air inlet of the hot air furnace through a hot air duct to form a closed loop.

[0004] During the actual use of the above-mentioned grain drying hot air circulation device in the prior art, we found that there are still certain shortcomings. For example, the hot air blower connects the hot air to the wind collecting hood on the drying sleeve through a pipe, and the hot air enters the drying tower filled with grain to dry the grain. In this process, the outer periphery of the drying tower caters to the wind collecting hood, so the grain can be dried quickly, while the grain located in the middle part of the drying tower cannot be dried evenly, which affects the uniformity and drying effect of the grain drying.
