[0022] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the hot air circulation device of the tunnel baking oven of this embodiment includes a circulating air duct 1, a circulating fan 2 for driving the gas flow in the circulating air duct 1, and a heat exchange component 3 for performing convective heat exchange with the gas in the circulating air duct 1. The circulating air duct 1 includes an air inlet duct 101 and a return air duct 102 connected to the baking furnace body, the input end of the circulating fan 2 is connected to the return air duct 102, the output end of the circulating fan 2 is connected to the air inlet duct 101, and a heat exchange chamber 103 is provided on the air inlet duct 101; the heat exchange component 3 includes a burner 301, a heat exchanger 302 and an exhaust gas pipe 303, the burner 301 is arranged outside the heat exchange chamber 103, the heat exchanger 302 is arranged inside the heat exchange chamber 103, the input end of the heat exchanger 302 is connected to the burner 301, the output end of the heat exchanger 302 is connected to the exhaust gas pipe 303, and the output end of the exhaust gas pipe 303 extends to the outside of the heat exchange chamber 103. The hot air circulation device of the tunnel baking furnace includes a circulating air duct 1, a circulating fan 2 and a heat exchange component 3 connected to the baking furnace body. The gas after baking the material in the baking furnace body is transported to the circulating fan 2 through the return air duct 102. Driven by the circulating fan 2, the gas is transported to the heat exchange chamber 103 and performs convection heat exchange with the heat exchanger 302. The high-temperature gas after heat exchange is re-transported into the baking furnace body through the air inlet duct 101 for baking, forming a hot air circulation. External cold air will not flow into the furnace, so that the temperature field in the furnace is stable, the baking effect on the material is uniform, and the production quality is effectively improved. Moreover, the heat will not be lost to the outside of the furnace, the heat utilization rate is high, and it can reduce energy consumption and reduce production costs.

[0024] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, preferably, the heat exchanger 302 includes several groups of heat exchange tubes 3021, an input end cover 3022, a connecting end cover 3023 and an output end cover 3024, the heat exchange tubes 3021 include a primary heat exchange tube 4 and a secondary heat exchange tube 5, the burner 301, the input end cover 3022, the primary heat exchange tube 4, the connecting end cover 3023, the secondary heat exchange tube 5, the output end cover 3024 and the exhaust gas pipe 303 are connected in sequence. In the present embodiment, a plurality of groups of heat exchange tubes 3021 are divided into primary heat exchange tubes 4 and secondary heat exchange tubes 5 according to their working process. The high-temperature flue gas (about 1000°C) generated by the combustion of the burner 301 enters the primary heat exchange tube 4 through the input end cover 3022, and undergoes the first convective heat exchange with the gas in the heat exchange chamber 103 through the primary heat exchange tube 4. Then, the high-temperature flue gas enters the secondary heat exchange tube 5 from the primary heat exchange tube 4 through the connecting end cover 3023, and undergoes the second convective heat exchange with the gas in the heat exchange chamber 103 through the secondary heat exchange tube 5. Finally, the flue gas enters the exhaust gas pipe 303 through the output end cover 3024 and is discharged to the outside, with high heat utilization rate. In other embodiments, a plurality of groups of heat exchange tubes 3021 can also be divided into tertiary heat exchange tubes for the third convective heat exchange with the gas in the heat exchange chamber 103, quaternary heat exchange tubes for the fourth convective heat exchange with the gas in the heat exchange chamber 103, and so on, and is not limited to the present embodiment.

[0025] It should be noted that in this example, the gas flow direction in the heat exchange chamber 103 is from the secondary heat exchange tube 5 to the primary heat exchange tube 4. The secondary heat exchange tube 5 uses the flue gas with a relatively low temperature after the first heat exchange to preheat the gas (80°C) in the heat exchange chamber 103, and then uses the high-temperature flue gas in the primary heat exchange tube 4 to heat the gas in the circulating air duct 1, thereby raising the temperature of the gas to 260°C-300°C and entering the air inlet duct 101.

[0026] Preferably, the outer wall of the heat exchange tube 3021 is provided with multiple groups of heat dissipation fin structures. When the gas in the heat exchange chamber 103 passes over the heat exchange tube 3021, the heat exchange area between the gas and the heat exchange tube 3021 can be increased, thereby effectively improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0027] Preferably, the circulating fan 2 is provided with a dehumidification port 201 for discharging moisture from the gas in the circulating air duct 1. Products such as bread dough will evaporate moisture during the baking process. Excess moisture in the circulating air duct 1 can be discharged through the dehumidification port 201, thereby ensuring that the humidity in the baking furnace is maintained at a normal state and preventing excessive humidity from affecting the baking quality of the product.

[0028] Preferably, the circulating fan 2 is provided with a fresh air compensation port 202 for replenishing fresh air into the circulating air duct 1. The circulating fan 2 draws fresh air into the circulating air duct 1 through the fresh air compensation port 202, which can make the circulating air duct 1 and the baking furnace body reach a constant temperature and pressure state, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the equipment.

[0029] Preferably, the air inlet duct 101 is provided with a lower air blowing pipe 1011 for outputting to the lower part of the baking furnace body, and an upper air blowing pipe 1012 for outputting to the upper part of the baking furnace body. In this embodiment, the gas (260°C-300°C) in the air inlet duct 101 can pass through the lower air blowing pipe 1011 and the upper air blowing pipe 1012, and the lower and upper surfaces of products such as bread embryos can be evenly baked at the same time, with good baking effect, effectively improving product quality.

[0030] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. For those skilled in the art, improvements and changes obtained without departing from the technical concept of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
