The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 6 In this embodiment of the present invention, the balanced convection device of the baking tunnel oven includes: a furnace chamber 1 and an adjusting ventilation mechanism 12. The furnace chamber 1 serves as the main structure of the entire baking tunnel oven. An inner top plate 2 is fixedly connected to the upper inner side of the furnace chamber 1. Located at the upper inner side of the furnace chamber, it plays the role of supporting and separating the internal space of the furnace chamber. A furnace top plate 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the top of the furnace chamber 1, providing an installation position for other components and helping to cover and seal the inside of the furnace chamber.

[0023] A circulating fan 4 is provided at one end of the furnace top plate 3, which is the power source of the entire device. A volute 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the top of the inner furnace top plate 2. A fan turbine 5 is installed inside the volute 15. The volute 15 provides space for the installation and operation of the fan turbine 5, and at the same time helps to guide the flow direction of the airflow, making it more concentrated and orderly to flow to the predetermined pipe. A front air duct 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the furnace 1, which is an important part of the ventilation system. A rear air duct 7 is fixedly connected to the other side of the furnace 1, which also plays the role of transporting hot air.

[0024] A top transverse duct 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the front air duct 6. A guide vane 9 is fixedly connected inside the top transverse duct 8. The top transverse duct 8 receives airflow from the blower turbine 5 and guides the airflow into different longitudinal ducts through the internal guide vane 9, achieving lateral distribution and transport of hot air at the top of the furnace. Longitudinal ducts 1-10 are longitudinally distributed at both ends of the guide vane 9. Longitudinal ducts 2-2-11 are longitudinally distributed at both ends of the rear air duct 7. The longitudinal ducts 2-2-11 and 1-10 together achieve longitudinal airflow within the furnace. The airflow distribution ensures that the hot air is evenly distributed in the furnace chamber, improving the uniformity of baking. There are multiple sets of furnace top plates 3, which are symmetrically arranged on the top of the furnace chamber 1. The circulating fan 4 is located on the top of one set of furnace top plates 3. The transmission component of the circulating fan 4 passes through one set of furnace top plates 3 and the volute 15 and is fixedly connected to the fan turbine 5. The side end of the volute 15 is fixedly connected to the top transverse pipe 8. There are multiple sets of ventilation adjustment mechanisms 12, which are symmetrically arranged between the front air duct 6 and the rear air duct 7, as well as the longitudinal pipe 10 and the longitudinal pipe 2 11.

[0025] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The ventilation regulating mechanism 12 includes an air box 1201, a guide plate 1202, and a sealing plate 1203. The air box 1201 is the main component of the ventilation regulating mechanism 12, providing space for the installation and operation of other regulating components. It regulates the ventilation volume through its internal structure and components. The guide plate 1202 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of one side of the air box 1201, which plays a certain guiding role in the airflow in the air box and assists the airflow. The sealing plate 1203 is fixedly connected between the guide plates 1202 and fixedly connected to the air box 1201, which plays a certain sealing and structural fixing role, preventing airflow from leaking from unwanted places.

[0026] The components include a baffle 1204, an adjusting screw 1205, a pivot pin 1206, and a wing nut 1207. The baffle 1204 is located inside the air box 1201. Adjusting its angle changes the ventilation area within the air box, thereby regulating the ventilation volume. The adjusting screw 1205 is movably connected to the inside of the baffle 1204. Rotating the adjusting screw 1205 changes the angle of the baffle 1204, thus regulating the ventilation volume. Both ends of the adjusting screw 1205 pass through the air box 1201. 1 and sealing plate 1203, shaft pin 1206 are fixedly connected to the lower inner side of the air box 1201 and pass through baffle 1204, and are rotatably connected to baffle 1204, so that baffle 1204 can rotate around shaft pin, providing rotation support for baffle angle adjustment. Butterfly nut 1207 and adjusting screw 1205 are located at one end of adjusting screw 1205, and can be tightened or loosened by manual operation. After adjusting the angle of baffle 1204, the adjusting screw 1205 is locked.

[0027] Flange 1208 and cover plate 1209 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both ends of the air box 1201, which facilitates the connection of the air box 1201 with other components and ensures the sealing and connection reliability of the entire ventilation system. Cover plate 1209 is fixedly connected to the top of the air box 1201.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The other end of the furnace chamber 1 is equipped with a chain plate 13 for carrying the items to be baked. There are multiple sets of chain plates 13. There is insulation cotton 14 between the furnace top plate 3 and the inner top plate 2, which plays a role in heat insulation, reducing heat loss in the furnace chamber, improving heat utilization efficiency, and ensuring stable temperature in the furnace chamber.

[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: This baking tunnel oven adopts a bottom fire tube and top hot air tube layout. During operation, the bottom fire tube heats the furnace chamber, causing the air to heat up and form an upward hot airflow. The circulating fan 4 at the top of the furnace chamber is crucial. Its air intake is connected to the top of the furnace chamber. After starting, it drives the fan turbine 5 inside the volute 15 to rotate through the transmission component, drawing the hot air from the top of the furnace chamber into the fan and pushing it to the top transverse pipe 8. The air guide plate 9 inside the top transverse pipe 8 guides the hot air through the air guide arc plate and into the longitudinally distributed front air pipe 6 and rear air pipe 7. The two can be assembled in sections to set the length as needed. Their symmetrical structure is ensured by the dedicated volute 15, ensuring that the airflow distribution is uniform and stable when the hot air is split, which is beneficial to the uniformity of baking. The air outlet components inside the furnace chamber include longitudinal pipe one 10 and longitudinal pipe two 11 connecting the front and rear air pipes, etc., which are symmetrically distributed. The internal sections are equipped with adjustable angle baffles 1204. Upon initial use, the fan is operated to establish a stable airflow circulation. The airflow force at each air vent is measured. By rotating the adjusting screw 1205 (which passes through the air box 1201 and the sealing plate 1203 and is connected to the inside of the baffle 1204), the baffle 1204 rotates around the shaft pin 1206, changing the cross-sectional area of ​​the ventilation channel in the air box 1201 to adjust the ventilation volume. Then, the adjusting screw 1205 is locked with the butterfly nut 1207 to ensure stable ventilation. After adjustment by the air outlet assembly, hot air is blown onto the products on the chain plate 13 through the air outlet for baking. The circulating fan allows the hot air to circulate within the system, avoiding excessive heat loss and achieving energy saving. Multiple sets of chain plates 13 are set according to the furnace size and baking output to provide a continuous baking platform for the products. The products move on the chain plates to receive baking. The insulation cotton 14 between the furnace top plate 3 and the inner furnace top plate 2 can reduce heat loss from the top, enhance the energy-saving effect, improve heat utilization efficiency, and reduce energy consumption.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
