[0002] With the annual increase of grain output and the improvement of mechanized harvesting degree in China, the value and significance of quality-preserving drying of grains are becoming more and more prominent. The main drying method of the existing grain dryers is hot air drying, and the hot air temperatures of multiple hot air pipes are the same. At a relatively high temperature, the drying efficiency is relatively high, but high-temperature drying will cause thermal damage to some grains, and the taste quality and nutritional components of the grains are damaged, resulting in a reduction in the quality after drying. Moreover, in the existing dryer, one hot air inlet pipe is connected to one drying section, and the drying section is arranged in an alternating and spaced manner with one layer of air inlet angled pipes and one layer of exhaust angled pipes. When high-temperature hot air dries grains, "hot zones" and "cold zones" are easily generated, making the grain drying uneven and the quality after drying worse; the energy consumption of drying grains with high-temperature hot air is relatively high, and the residual temperature after hot air drying is also relatively high, resulting in insufficient energy utilization and energy waste; the drying waste gas contains a large amount of impurities.

The two ends of the cold air pipe 802 are respectively connected to the outer-ring-encircling cold air pipe 801 and the cold air blower 803.

[0046] Among them, it should be noted that: as Figure 3 shown, in the technical solution of the present invention, the tail gas sedimentation chamber 9 passes through the outer-ring-encircling cold air pipe 801.

[0047] The beneficial effects of adopting the above preferred solution are: the cold air blower is beneficial to generating cold air, and the cold air is transmitted to the inside of the cooling chamber through the cold air pipe and the outer-ring-encircling cold air pipe to cool the dried grains and remove the remaining temperature inside the grains.

When the humidity of the grains in the grain discharging section 502 reaches the required value, the control mechanism controls the valve in the branch pipe communicated with the external grain receiving device to open, and conveys the grains in the grain discharging section 502 to the external grain receiving device. When the humidity of the grains in the grain discharging section 502 is greater than the required value, the control mechanism controls the valve in the branch pipe communicated with the bottom end of the elevator 11 to open, and conveys the grains in the grain discharging section 502 to the elevator 11 again for drying again.

[0059] The beneficial effects of adopting the above preferred solution are as follows: The grain inlet mechanism and the grain discharging mechanism cooperate with the elevator, which is conducive to realizing the lifting of grains from low to high, and then making the grains fall in the drying chamber, the cooling chamber and the moisture exhaust chamber under the action of gravity to realize drying, moisture exhaust and cooling.

[0060] The working process of the present invention will be described below through an embodiment:

[0061] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the grains to be dried enter the upper grain chute 401 through the elevator 11 and enter the grain storage section 403 along the upper grain chute 401;

[0062] Next, the grain to be dried passes through the moisture exhaust chambers 3 at the top of multiple drying chambers 1, the drying chambers 1, the moisture exhaust chambers 3 at the bottom of the drying chambers 1, the moisture exhaust chambers 3 at the top of the cooling chamber 2, the cooling chamber 2, and the moisture exhaust chambers 3 at the bottom of the cooling chamber 2 in sequence under the action of gravity. During this process, the grain will be successively dried by the high-temperature hot air generated by the small hot blast stove 603, undergo the tempering effect of the tempering layer 13, dried by the slightly lower-temperature hot air generated by the large hot blast stove 703 relative to the small hot blast stove 603, undergo the tempering effect of the tempering layer 13, and be cooled by the cold air generated by the air cooler 803. At the same time, when the grain passes through the moisture exhaust chamber 3, the hot air will carry impurities such as dust on the surface of the grain to form waste gas, and the waste gas is discharged from the waste gas outlet 301 to the tail gas sedimentation chamber 9, and is discharged to the atmosphere after passing through the filtration of the filter screen 902, while the impurities remain in the tail gas sedimentation chamber 9;

[0063] Finally, the dried, tempered, and cooled grain reaches the grain discharging section 502. If the humidity of the grain meets the requirements at this time, the dried grain is discharged from the lower grain chute 501 to the external grain receiving equipment, completing the drying of the grain. If the humidity of the grain is greater than the requirements at this time, the grain re-enters the elevator 11 from the lower grain chute 501, and enters the upper grain chute 401 again through the elevator 11, and repeats the above steps for drying again until it meets the requirements and is discharged from the lower grain chute 501 to the external grain receiving equipment.
