[0002] Dryers are mainly used for drying fresh materials such as cardamom and peppers. They can also be used for continuous drying of other fruits and vegetables, agricultural and sideline products, Chinese medicinal materials and other materials.

[0009] Preferably, the lower circulation channel includes a lower circulation fan and a lower connecting air duct, and the hot air with less moisture content at the bottom of the main frame is sucked into the air duct by the negative pressure of the lower circulation fan and supplied to the air chamber.

The drive components are arranged according to the number of layers of the multi-layer conveyor mesh belt surface, with one group of drive components arranged for every three layers, and each group is equipped with a frequency converter.

[0011] Preferably, when the heat source is an air energy heat pump, a condenser is arranged in the air duct at the inlet end of the upper circulation fan, and the upper circulation fan and the lower circulation fan are staggered in the left and right wind chamber components on both sides, which is conducive to more uniform air supply in the length direction.

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings of the specification of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0021] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 The utility model provides an embodiment: a double-air chamber upper and lower circulation air supply multi-layer continuous drying machine, including a main frame 1, a conveying component 2, a double-side air chamber component 3, a heat source 4, and a driving component 5. The main frame 1 includes an insulating outer plate 11, a support frame 12, an end wind shield component 13, a middle wind shield component 14, a feed hopper 15, and a discharge hopper 16. The conveying component 2 is fixed on the support frame 12, including a multi-layer conveying mesh belt surface 21 and a transmission shaft 22. The double-side air chamber component 3 is located on both sides of the main frame 1 and is fixed on the support frame 12, including an upper circulation air duct 31, a lower circulation channel 32, and an air supply air chamber 33. The heat source 4 is installed adjacent to the double-side air chamber component 3. The driving component 5 is fixed on the support frame 12 and is arranged in multiple groups.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 The insulation outer plate 11 wraps the main frame 1 and the double-sided wind chamber components 3 into a relatively closed space, which has a heat preservation effect. The end wind shielding component 13 is arranged at the end of the main frame 1, and the upper and lower winds at the end of the layered isolation frame are separated. The middle layer wind isolation component 14 is arranged in the end interlayer of each layer of the multi-layer conveyor belt surface 21 to prevent hot air from leaking to the end without passing through the fresh material, which is not conducive to material drying.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 The multi-layer conveyor belt surface 21 is independently layered and driven by a transmission shaft 22; the number of layers is determined by the processing volume, and the greater the processing volume, the more layers there are.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 The upper circulation air duct 31 includes an upper circulation fan 311, a sensible heat exchanger 312 and an upper connecting air duct 313. Moisture enters the upper connecting air duct 313 from the top of the main frame 1, and is discharged after passing through the sensible heat exchanger 312. The fresh air absorbs heat through the sensible heat exchanger 312 and enters the inlet air duct of the upper circulation fan 311 and is supplied to the air chamber.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 The lower circulation channel 32 includes a lower circulation fan 321 and a lower connecting air duct 322. The hot air with less moisture content at the bottom of the main frame 1 is sucked into the air duct by the negative pressure of the lower circulation fan 321 and supplied to the air chamber.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 The air supply chamber 33 is connected and arranged in the length direction of the main frame 1, and the hot air blown in by the upper circulation fan 311 and the lower circulation fan 321 is mixed therein, and then sucked into the multi-layer conveyor mesh belt surface 21 under negative pressure to dry the fresh materials. The heat source 4 adopts a heating equipment that can heat up to seventy-five degrees Celsius, and can be selected from but not limited to air energy heat pumps and hot air boilers. The drive components 5 are arranged according to the number of layers of the multi-layer conveyor mesh belt surface 21, and a group of drive components 5 are arranged for every three layers, and each group is equipped with a frequency converter.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 When the heat source 4 adopts an air energy heat pump, a condenser 314 is arranged in the air duct at the inlet end of the upper circulation fan 311, and the upper circulation fan 311 and the lower circulation fan 321 are staggered in the left and right of the double-sided air chamber assembly 3, which is conducive to more uniform air supply in the length direction.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 The transmission shaft 22 realizes a fast upper layer speed and a fast lower layer speed through chain transmission, and the upper layer speed is two to one than the lower layer speed.

[0029] Working principle: The dryer adopts a double-sided air chamber air supply method, which is beneficial to improving the uniformity of hot air in the width direction. An up and down circulation air supply method is adopted on each side. The hot air with high humidity and temperature at the bottom is mixed with the newly-input hot air for many times and then supplied to the interlayer of the multi-layer conveyor mesh belt surface 21, which improves the efficiency of hot air taking away moisture between materials. At the same time, the up and down circulation air supply adopts a negative pressure air supply method from the drying body to reduce the risk of heat dissipation of the whole machine. In the length direction of the air supply chamber 33, the upper circulation fan 311 and the lower circulation fan 321 are staggered, which is more conducive to improving the uniformity of hot air in the length direction. The drying body adopts an up and down multi-layer conveying structure, so that the material is turned over many times during the drying process, and the thickness of the material on the multi-layer conveyor mesh belt surface 21 is greatly reduced, which is conducive to faster and more uniform drying of fresh materials, and can effectively assist in the primary processing and drying of fruits, vegetables, and agricultural and sideline products, improve the drying effect, improve the drying quality, and ultimately reduce its drying cost and improve the economic benefits of materials.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
