[0050] The heat exchange device increases its own temperature by burning the internal fuel. Currently, the heat exchange device is generally composed of a combustion chamber, a heat exchange tube, and an exhaust chamber. The combustion of the fuel in the combustion chamber heats the internal air, and the hot air flows toward the exhaust chamber through the heat exchange tube, and exchanges heat with the external environment through the heat exchange tube to achieve the purpose of heat exchange.

[0051] The heat exchange tube is the area with the highest heat exchange efficiency in the heat exchange device. However, the heat exchange tubes of existing heat exchange devices are generally short. At the same time, the hot gas only passes through the heat exchange tube once for heat exchange, resulting in a large amount of heat not being fully utilized and wasted, and the overall heat exchange efficiency is low.

[0052] In view of the above situation, the present application provides a heat exchange device and a dryer for improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange device. Figure 1-Figure 4 , the basic structure, working principle and technical effects achieved of the heat exchange device and dryer provided in this application are introduced in detail.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2This embodiment provides a heat exchange device 100, which includes a combustion chamber 110, heat exchange tubes 120, and a chimney 130. The combustion chamber 110 provides a space for fuel combustion. The heat exchange tubes 120 are metal tubes with good thermal conductivity. Multiple heat exchange tubes 120 are arranged in a direction parallel to the length of the combustion chamber 110, and the multiple heat exchange tubes 120 are arranged at intervals. Furthermore, the heat exchange device 100 also includes an inner plate 140 and an inner partition 150. The inner plate 140 is a rectangular plate body and is hollow. Two inner plates 140 are arranged opposite each other, and the two inner plates 140 are respectively located at the two ends of the multiple heat exchange tubes 120. The two ends of the multiple heat exchange tubes 120 respectively pass through the two inner plates 140 and communicate with the internal cavity of the inner plates 140. Multiple inner baffles 150 are disposed within the inner plate 140. These inner baffles 150 divide the inner cavity of the inner plate 140 into multiple chambers 141. Each chamber 141 is connected to at least two heat exchange tubes 120. The provision of the inner baffles 150 allows the hot gas to flow in an S-shaped pattern between the multiple heat exchange tubes 120 and the multiple chambers 141, thereby increasing the heat exchange time between the hot gas and the external environment, improving the utilization efficiency of the hot gas, and thus improving the heat exchange efficiency. The chimney 130 is connected to the inner plate 140 and is connected to the chamber 141 at the end of the inner plate 140 away from the combustion chamber 110. That is, the chimney 130 is connected to the last chamber 141 located in the flue gas flow, so that the hot gas is discharged through the chimney 130 after sufficient heat exchange.

[0054] For further information, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, 14 heat exchange tubes 120 are provided, and the heat exchange tubes 120 are arranged in two rows staggered up and down. The inner partition 150 is arranged in an inclined state in the inner plate 140. The chamber 141 separated by the inner partition 150 is connected to four heat exchange tubes 120, and the inner partitions 150 in the two inner plates 140 are staggered, thereby forming an S-shaped flow channel between the multiple heat exchange tubes 120 and the multiple chambers 141, thereby achieving the effect of hot gas flowing along the S shape in the multiple heat exchange tubes 120. In other optional embodiments, according to design requirements, the heat exchange tubes 120 can be set to other numbers, as long as at least two heat exchange tubes 120 are connected in the same chamber 141 separated by the inner partition 150, and the two or more heat exchange tubes 120 connected in the same chamber 141 of the single-side inner plate 140 are located in two different chambers 141 in the other-side inner plate 140. In this way, an S-shaped flow channel can be formed between the multiple heat exchange tubes 120 and the multiple chambers 141, thereby realizing the flow of heat flow in the multiple heat exchange tubes 120 and the multiple chambers 141.

[0055] By dividing the inner plate 140 into multiple chambers 141 and connecting multiple heat exchange tubes 120 between the two inner plates 140, S-shaped flow of hot air between the multiple heat exchange tubes 120 is achieved, which increases the heat transfer length, prolongs the heat transfer time, improves the utilization efficiency of the hot air, and thus improves the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange device.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 To facilitate adjustment of the thermal output of the combustion chamber 110 according to actual usage requirements, the heat exchange device 100 further includes a fuel injector 160, mounted at one end of the combustion chamber 110. A fuel inlet pipe 161 connects the fuel injector 160 and the combustion chamber 110. To facilitate the supply of fuel to the fuel injector 160, a fuel delivery pipe 162 is connected to the fuel injector 160 for delivering fuel to the fuel injector 160. The fuel injector 160 intermittently injects fuel into the combustion chamber 110 through the fuel inlet pipe 161. The fuel injection amount and injection interval can be adjusted according to usage requirements, thereby adjusting the thermal output of the combustion chamber 110.

[0057] The working principle of a heat exchange device 100 provided in this embodiment is: multiple heat exchange tubes 120 are connected through an inner plate 140, and the inner plate 140 is divided into multiple chambers through an inner partition 150, so that the multiple heat exchange tubes 120 are connected in an S shape, and then the hot gas flows in the multiple heat exchange tubes 120 in an S shape, which increases the heat transfer length, prolongs the heat transfer time, fully utilizes the heat generated by combustion, reduces the preheating lost from the chimney 130, and improves the heat utilization efficiency.

[0058] In some other optional embodiments, a drying machine 200 is also provided. Figure 3 The dryer 200 includes the aforementioned heat exchange device 100, as well as a housing 210, a conveyor belt 220, an outer partition 230, and a connecting fan 240. The housing 210 is mounted outside the heat exchange device 100, and the conveyor belt 220 is installed within the housing 210. Inlets and outlets for the conveyor belt 220 are provided at both ends of the housing 210. The conveyor belt 220 is used to transport products to be dried into the dryer 200 for drying and to remove the dried products from the dryer 200. The heat exchange device 100 performs heat exchange and drying on the products transported on the conveyor belt 220 within the housing 210. The heat exchange process is confined to the interior of the housing 210, which to a certain extent reduces the problem of heat loss to the external environment and further improves heat utilization.

[0059] For further information, please refer to Figure 4The outer partition 230 is arranged inside the shell 210. The plane where the outer partition 230 is located is parallel to the plane where the conveyor belt 220 is located. The outer partition 230 separates the conveyor belt 220 from the heat exchange device 100, and further separates the heat generation area from the heat consumption area, effectively preventing excessive heat loss in the natural air environment and improving the heat exchange efficiency. In order to improve the drying efficiency of the dryer 200, a group of circulating fans 260 are provided on the outer partition 230 and at both ends of the outer partition 230. The circulating fans 260 connect the two sides of the partition, that is, connect the space where the heat exchange device 100 is located with the space where the conveyor belt 220 is located. By controlling one group of circulating fans 260 to inhale air and another group of circulating fans 260 to blow, the internal circulation of hot air in the shell is realized. On the one hand, the products to be dried on the conveyor belt 220 are fully dried. On the other hand, the heat is fully utilized to prevent excessive heat loss to the external environment, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0060] For further information, please refer to Figure 4 To further enhance the drying effect, multiple sets of auxiliary fans 250 are installed on the side of the outer partition 230 facing the conveyor belt 220. The auxiliary fans 250 enable hot air to circulate more effectively on the conveyor belt 220, thereby further enhancing the drying efficiency of the products on the conveyor belt 220. Furthermore, to enhance the heat circulation effect within the housing, a circulating fan 260 is installed on the side of the outer partition 230 facing the heat exchange device 100. The air inlet and outlet directions of the circulating fan 260 are aligned with the transmission direction of the conveyor belt 220. The circulating fan 260 facilitates the delivery of heated air from the heat exchange device 100 to the connecting fan 240, thereby facilitating the circulation of hot air from the heat exchange device 100 to the conveyor belt 220, thereby enhancing the drying effect.

[0061] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
