The existing technology often uses a regenerator to recover energy for heating the desiccant to promote moisture desorption, but the structure is relatively complex and there is energy loss during the reheating process.

[0030] See attached Figure 1-3 The present invention provides a drying device, comprising a first drying box 100, a second drying box 200, a heat exchange component 300, a first air supply duct 400 and a second air supply duct 500;
[0031] The first drying box 100 and the second drying box 200 are arranged opposite to each other. Both the first drying box 100 and the second drying box 200 are provided with a drying chamber filled with a desiccant. The first drying box 100 is provided with a first air inlet and a first air outlet communicated with the drying chamber, and the second drying box 200 is provided with a second air inlet and a second air outlet communicated with the drying chamber; the air inlet end of the first air supply duct 400 is connected to the first air inlet, and the air inlet end of the second air supply duct 500 is connected to the second air inlet; preferably, the first air outlet and the first air inlet, and the second air outlet and the second air inlet are relatively staggered.
[0032] The heat exchange component 300 includes a first end surface and a second end surface, and the first end surface and the second end surface can perform cooling or heating;
[0033] The opposite side walls of the first drying box 100 and the second drying box 200 are both provided with openings, and the first end surface and the second end surface of the heat exchange component 300 are respectively correspondingly engaged with the openings of the two side walls.
[0034] Based on the above technical features, the first drying box 100 and the second drying box 200 use desiccant to absorb moisture from the air passing through the drying chamber, thereby drying the air. The first and second end surfaces of the heat exchange member 300 respectively perform cooling and heating operations. The first end surface absorbs the latent heat of condensation released when water vapor condenses and transfers this latent heat to the second end surface, causing the first air supply duct 400 to discharge cooled and dry air, achieving the effect of reducing enthalpy and dehumidification. The second end surface heats the second drying box 200 to promote moisture desorption. The moisture adsorbed by the desiccant is discharged from the second air supply duct 500 along with the high-temperature air flow, thereby regenerating the desiccant. When the desiccant in the first drying box 100 is saturated with moisture, the cooling and heating ends of the heat exchange member 300 are switched. At this time, the desiccant in the first drying box 100 is heated and dehydrated, while the second drying box 200 is low-temperature dried. By alternating these operations, the first drying box 100 and the second drying box 200 can respectively discharge low-temperature dry air and dehydrate the desiccant.
[0035] Furthermore, the drying device further includes a first three-way valve 600 and a second three-way valve 700, each of which includes an air inlet and two air outlets. The air outlet end of the first air supply duct 400 is connected to the air inlet of the first three-way valve 600, and the air outlet end of the second air supply duct 500 is connected to the air inlet of the second three-way valve 700.
[0036] One exhaust port of the first three-way valve 600 and the second three-way valve 700 are both connected to a delivery pipe;
[0037] The first three-way valve 600 is connected to the other exhaust port through a pipeline connected to the delivery pipe connected to the second three-way valve 700, and the second three-way valve 700 is connected to the other exhaust port through a pipeline connected to the delivery pipe connected to the first three-way valve 600; the delivery pipes of the first three-way valve 600 and the second three-way valve 700 can be in a fixed gas division state, and through the switching control of the first three-way valve 600 and the second three-way valve 700, when the hot and cold ends of the heat exchange component 300 are switched, the first three-way valve 600 and the second three-way valve 700 can be controlled to achieve that the dry low-temperature gas can be fixedly output through the delivery pipe connected to the first three-way valve 600, and the precipitated moisture is fixedly output along the delivery pipe connected to the second three-way valve 700.
[0038] Specifically, the first air supply duct 400 and the second air supply duct 500 are both provided with axial flow fans, which provide power for exhausting gas.
[0039] Furthermore, the first drying box 100 and the second drying box 200 are also provided with a plurality of heat dissipation ribs 800, which improve the overall heat exchange effect of the drying box. In this embodiment, a plurality of partitions are arranged in between the first drying box 100 and the second drying box 200, and heat dissipation ribs 800 are arranged on the partitions.
[0040] The desiccant is spherical in structure, which increases the contact area between the desiccant and the air and improves the drying efficiency.
[0041] Furthermore, the heat dissipation ribs 800 are provided with a plurality of arc grooves or the heat dissipation ribs 800 are wavy in shape, which solves the matching contact problem between the curved surface of the desiccant and the flat heat dissipation rib plane, increases the contact area between the spherical desiccant and the heat dissipation ribs 800, and further improves the heat exchange effect.
[0042] Specifically, the surface of the heat sink rib 800 is coated with a hydrophobic coating, which can change the condensation mode of water vapor from film condensation to bead condensation, thereby increasing the contact area between water vapor and the heat sink rib 800 and reducing the heat transfer resistance between water vapor and the heat sink rib 800.
[0043] In this embodiment, the heat exchange component 300 is a thermoelectric cooling plate, which can achieve the cooling and heating effects of the first end face and the second end face by switching the direction of the current. The heat pump characteristics of the thermoelectric cooling plate are used to recover the latent heat of condensation and transfer it to the hot end, thereby realizing energy recovery. The structure is simple and compact, and the energy recovery loss is small.
