[0002] Traditional sterilization towers directly use commercially available material drying towers, whose main purpose is the material drying function, and the sterilization effect can be achieved as an auxiliary. After the hot air contacts the material in the drying tower, while quickly sterilizing, the remaining air is discharged into the atmosphere, without making full use of the characteristics of the hot air and causing energy waste. The technical solution is an upgrade based on the original process, adding a hot air recycling device for the sterilization drying tower, and realizing precise temperature control and contact time. Through two-way adjustment, sterilization is achieved while reducing energy consumption. At the same time, different production capacities can be achieved by adjusting the height of the drying area. It perfectly solves the problems of high output and high quality for customers.

[0003] A continuous sterilization drying tower is a device for sterilizing the surface of materials. Usually, it needs to be equipped with a heat source to generate clean hot air.

The hot air passes through the material surface through the angled box assembly again, enters the second air outlet area 314 on the left and the second air outlet area 324 on the right respectively. Finally, the hot air passes through the material surface through the angled box assembly and enters the third intermediate air inlet area 216, and the remaining air is discharged from the second outlet 204 of the lower drying section.

[0093] It can be seen from the hot air path of the sterilization and drying tower that the hot air enters from the second hot air inlet 203 of the lower drying section and is discharged from the second outlet 204 of the lower drying section. The hot air passes through the grain layer 8 times in total, and the hot air passes through 8 S-shaped bends, which can increase the contact time and contact area between the high-temperature hot air and the material, effectively utilize the circulation of the hot air, and greatly improve the sterilization efficiency.

[0094] The two drying sections can increase the sterilization time and improve the sterilization efficiency; it can also achieve temperature zoning by different hot air temperatures sent by the hot air blower, accurately control the temperature, and achieve the best sterilization effect.

[0095] The inside of the sterilization and drying tower is composed of a ventilation angled box assembly 113, and the arrangement of the angled box assembly is as Figure 4 shown. The hot air enters the angled box from the first inlet 201 and the second inlet 203. The material flows downward in an S shape inside the angled box, and the remaining air is discharged from the first outlet 202 and the second outlet 204. The hot air performs high-temperature sterilization on the material surface to achieve the sterilization effect.

[0096] The continuous sterilization and drying tower is composed of several drying sections. A single drying unit 110 of the drying tower is as Figure 5 、 6 shown. The second intermediate air inlet area 215 is in the middle. On both sides adjacent to the second intermediate air inlet area 215 are the first drying area 111 and the second drying area 112 arranged with angled boxes. The hot air enters from the first air inlet area 214, passes through the grain layers on both sides, and is discharged from the first air outlet area 313 and the first air outlet area 323.

[0097] The application effect of the present utility model lies in: for example, when a feed mill sterilizes a large amount of corn, the design concept is that the higher the air temperature, the better, the shorter the heating time, the better, and the lower the temperature inside the corn, the better. Therefore, when designing the sterilization tower, it is necessary to consider that the path of the hot air contacting the material should be long enough, and the hot air quickly exchanges with the material surface in a short time to kill the surface germs. At the same time, the discharge amount can also be operated to control the residence time of the material in the tower. For example, the customer sets the sterilization temperature to 120 °C and the residence time to 5 minutes, or the sterilization temperature to 100 °C and the residence time to 10 minutes. Both of these scenarios can be adjusted in actual operation through the solution of this patent. By precisely controlling the temperature and adjusting the residence time, the optimal sterilization effect can be achieved. The application scenario examples are not limited to this.

[0098] The present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Based on the technical solutions disclosed in the present utility model, those skilled in the art can make some substitutions and transformations to some of the technical features without creative labor according to the disclosed technical content, and these substitutions and transformations are all within the protection scope of the present utility model.
