[0002] Tunnel dryers are a type of drying equipment widely used in industrial production. They utilize a tunnel-like structure, placing materials within the tunnel via a conveyor belt or vibrating hopper. Through sufficient contact with hot air in the tunnel, moisture on the material's surface is rapidly evaporated, drying the material. Furthermore, the dryer is equipped with a fan and exhaust system to promptly remove moisture and maintain a suitable drying environment within the tunnel. Tunnel dryers offer many advantages over traditional drying equipment. First, their continuous loading and discharge process significantly improves production efficiency. Second, tunnel dryers have a large drying capacity, making them suitable for processing large batches of materials. Furthermore, the uniform flow of hot air within the tunnel ensures uniform drying of the material, reducing quality issues caused by uneven drying. Furthermore, by controlling parameters such as the hot air's temperature, humidity, and flow rate, tunnel dryers can achieve precise control of the material, ensuring optimal drying quality and a fast and uniform drying process.

[0003] However, the existing tunnel dryer easily discharges a large amount of heat due to the exhaust and moisture removal method, resulting in the problem of easy heat loss and insufficient heat utilization. Utility Model Content

[0021] Example:

[0022] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the natural gas tunnel dryer includes a conveyor frame 1, a conveyor belt 11 is provided on the conveyor frame 1, and a heat insulation shield 2 is provided above the conveyor belt 11 to cooperate with the conveyor frame 1. A drying channel 3 is formed inside the heat insulation shield 2, and a combustion chamber 4 is provided on one side of the conveyor frame 1. The combustion chamber 4 is connected to the drying channel 3 through an air duct 41 and an induced draft fan 42. A circulation pipe 45 is also provided in the drying channel 3. The inlet end of the circulation pipe 45 is located at the tail end of the drying channel 3 and is provided with an exhaust fan 46. The outlet end of the circulation pipe 45 is connected to the combustion chamber 4; a plurality of brackets 5 are provided at the rear end of the heat insulation shield 2, and a heat dissipation fan 51 is provided on the bracket 5.

[0023] The combustion chamber 4 can generate heat through combustion equipment or electric heating elements, and the heat is then introduced into the drying tunnel 3 in the heat insulation shield 2 through the air duct 41 and the induced draft fan 42; the moist material is transported from one end of the drying tunnel 3 to the other end through the conveyor belt 11, and the induced draft fan 42 introduces the hot air flow in the combustion chamber 4 into the head of the drying tunnel 3, and the exhaust fan 46 and the circulation pipe 45 draw the hot air flow at the tail of the drying tunnel 3 into the combustion chamber 4 for reheating and utilization, so that the hot air flow forms a circulating flow in the drying tunnel 3 to ensure that the hot air can cover the entire surface of the material, achieve a fast and uniform drying effect of the material, improve the drying efficiency, save energy, reduce heat loss, and improve energy and heat utilization; finally, the heat dissipation fan 51 is used to quickly cool down the surface of the material discharged from the drying tunnel 3 to dissipate heat and cool it, which is convenient for subsequent processing; and the heat dissipation fan 51 can also accelerate the hot air flow through the circulation pipe 45 for reuse.

[0024] The inlet end of the heat-insulating shield 2 is provided with a rotating shaft 31, one end of which is driven to rotate by a motor 32. An isolation scraper 33 is provided on the rotating shaft 31, and a plurality of isolation teeth 34 are provided at the bottom of the isolation scraper 33. Driven by the motor 32 and the rotating shaft 31, the isolation scraper 33 rotates to block the material at a certain height, thereby spreading and dispersing the material, accelerating the drying speed, and preventing the material from piling up and affecting the drying effect.

[0025] The isolation scraper 33 is provided with an elongated slot 35 for the shaft 31 to pass through. The width of the elongated slot 35 is greater than the diameter of the shaft 31.

[0026] The combustion chamber 4 is provided with a natural gas burner 43. The natural gas burner 43 burns natural gas to generate heat, which is then introduced into the drying tunnel 3 to dry the material.

[0027] The combustion chamber 4 is provided with a smoke exhaust port 44. The smoke exhaust port 44 is provided to discharge the smoke generated by the natural gas burner 43 through the smoke exhaust port 44, thereby preventing the smoke from entering the drying tunnel 3 and contaminating the materials.

The two uprights 52 are connected at their tops by a connecting rod 53. Connecting rod 53 is provided with a mounting plate 54, which is provided with through-holes. Cooling fans 51 are mounted on mounting plates 54 and correspond to the through-holes. Cooling fans 51 are mounted above the conveyor belt 11, maintaining a certain distance from the material being conveyed on the conveyor belt 11, thereby accelerating airflow and improving heat dissipation.

[0030] The drying tunnel 3 is also equipped with a temperature control system and a humidity control system. The temperature and humidity of the hot air flow can be adjusted according to the characteristics and needs of the material. By monitoring and adjusting these parameters, the material can be dried in an appropriate environment, avoiding damage or inefficiency caused by excessive temperature or humidity.
