[0048] Figure 1This is a schematic structural diagram of the internal structure of a tunnel sterilization dryer according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, and with reference Figure 2 This utility model provides a tunnel sterilization dryer, including a housing 10, a first air supply fan 210, a first motor 310, a cooling device 40, and a cooling circulation system 50. The housing 10 defines a drying channel 110, which includes a high-temperature sterilization section 111. The first air supply fan 210 delivers high-temperature airflow to the high-temperature sterilization section 111.

A cooling medium is configured to cool the first motor 310, and the cooling device 40 contains the cooling medium. The cooling circulation system 50 includes a cooling pipe 510 and a return pipe 520. The outlet of the cooling device 40 is connected to the inlet of the first motor 310 via the cooling pipe 510, and the inlet of the cooling device 40 is connected to the outlet of the first motor 310 via the return pipe 520, so that the cooling medium circulates between the cooling device 40 and the first motor 310.

[0049] In this embodiment, the tunnel sterilization dryer includes a high-temperature sterilization section 111, a first air supply fan 210, a first motor 310, and a cooling device 40. The first motor 310 is connected to the first air supply fan 210, which delivers high-temperature airflow to the high-temperature sterilization section 111. A cooling pipe 510 and a return pipe 520 connect the first motor 310 and the cooling device 40. When the tunnel sterilization dryer is running, the first motor 310 drives the first air supply fan 210, which delivers high-temperature airflow to the high-temperature sterilization section 111. Simultaneously, the cooling medium in the cooling device 40 enters the first motor 310 through the cooling pipe 510, where it exchanges heat with the motor to cool it down. After heat exchange, the cooling medium returns to the cooling device 40 through the return pipe 520 for further cooling, and the cycle repeats. The cooling medium circulates between the cooling device 40 and the first motor 310 through the cooling pipe 510 and the return pipe 520. The cooling circulation system 50 is a closed loop, and the cooling medium continuously cools the first motor 310, resulting in a relatively stable cooling effect and avoiding safety accidents caused by intermittent cooling. Furthermore, the recycling of the cooling medium significantly saves water resources, reduces energy waste, and lowers production costs.

[0050] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1As shown, the drying channel 110 also includes a preheating section 112 and a cooling section 113, arranged sequentially from front to back. The tunnel sterilization dryer also includes a second air supply fan 220, a third air supply fan 230, a second motor 320, a third motor 330, a conveyor belt 90, and an exhaust fan 240. The second air supply fan 220 is located at the top of the preheating section 112, supplying high-temperature airflow to it. The third air supply fan 230 is located at the top of the cooling section 113, supplying low-temperature airflow to it.

A third air supply fan 230 is installed at the top of the cooling section 113 and is driven to rotate by a third motor 330. A conveyor belt 90 is installed at the bottom of the drying channel 110. Multiple exhaust fans 240 are installed below the conveyor belt 90 to drive airflow outward from the drying channel 110. During operation of the tunnel sterilization dryer, the second air supply motor blows high-temperature airflow into the preheating section 112, the first air supply motor blows high-temperature airflow into the high-temperature sterilization section 111, and the third air supply motor blows low-temperature airflow into the cooling section 113. The conveyor belt 90 carries the items to be dried from the preheating section 112 to the cooling section 113. The items are first preheated in the preheating section 112, then dried and sterilized in the high-temperature sterilization section 111, and finally cooled in the cooling section 113, thus completing the drying process of the items.

[0052] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, multiple first air supply fans 210 are provided, and one first motor 310 is provided in correspondence with each first air supply fan 210. All of the multiple first motors 310 are connected to the cooling device 40.

[0053] In this embodiment, multiple first air supply fans 210 are provided, and multiple first air supply fans 210 operate simultaneously to increase the air intake in the high-temperature sterilization section 111, thereby improving the drying and sterilization efficiency.

[0054] Furthermore, there are two first air supply fans 210, and correspondingly, there are two first motors 310. The two first motors 310 are connected in parallel, and the cooling device 40 is used to cool the first motors 310.

[0055] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the cooling circulation system 50 also includes a pipe visualization device 530, which is installed on the cooling pipe 510.

[0056] In this embodiment, a pipe visualization device 530 is installed on the cooling pipe 510, specifically between the outlet of the cooling device 40 and the inlet of the first motor 310. When the cooling medium flows from the cooling device 40 to the first motor 310, it can be observed through the pipe visualization device 530. This solves the problem of difficult-to-detect faults in the cooling circulation system 50, avoids intermittent cooling of the first motor 310, improves the stability of the first motor 310's operation, reduces the occurrence of safety accidents, and ultimately enhances the stability and safety of the tunnel sterilization dryer's operation.

[0057] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the pipe visualization device 530 includes a glass pipe sight glass 531, and the cooling pipe 510 includes a first cooling pipe section 511 and a second cooling pipe section 512. The two ends of the glass pipe sight glass 531 are respectively sealed and connected to the first cooling pipe section 511 and the second cooling pipe section 512.

[0058] In this embodiment, the pipeline visualization device 530 includes a glass pipeline sight glass 531, and the cooling pipeline 510 includes a first cooling pipeline section 511 and a second cooling pipeline section 512. The glass pipeline sight glass 531 is installed between the first cooling pipeline section 511 and the second cooling pipeline section 512. When the cooling circulation system 50 is running, the cooling medium flows from the cooling device 40 to the first cooling pipeline section 511, passes through the glass pipeline sight glass 531, and then flows through the second cooling pipeline section 512 to the first motor 310 to cool it down. By observing whether the cooling medium is flowing through the glass pipeline sight glass 531, the operating status of the cooling circulation system 50 is more intuitive, thereby enabling timely detection of malfunctions in the cooling circulation system 50, avoiding intermittent cooling of the first motor 310, improving the stability of the first motor 310's operation, reducing the occurrence of safety accidents, and thus improving the stability and safety of the tunnel sterilization dryer's operation.

[0059] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the tunnel sterilization dryer further includes a pipe visualization device 530, which is installed on the return pipe 520.

[0060] In this embodiment, a pipe visualization device 530 is installed on the return pipe 520, specifically between the outlet of the first motor 310 and the inlet of the cooling device 40. When the cooling medium flows from the first motor 310 to the cooling device 40, it can be observed through the pipe visualization device 530. This solves the problem of difficult-to-detect faults in the cooling circulation system 50, avoids intermittent cooling of the first motor 310, improves the stability of the first motor 310's operation, reduces the occurrence of safety accidents, and ultimately enhances the stability and safety of the tunnel sterilization dryer's operation.

[0061] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the pipe viewing device 530 includes a glass pipe sight glass 531, the return pipe 520 includes a first return pipe section and a second return pipe section, and the two ends of the glass pipe sight glass 531 are respectively sealed and connected to the first return pipe section and the second return pipe section.

[0062] In this embodiment, the pipeline visualization device 530 includes a glass pipeline sight glass 531, and the return pipeline 520 includes a first return pipeline section and a second return pipeline section. The glass pipeline sight glass 531 is installed between the first return pipeline section and the second return pipeline section. When the cooling circulation system 50 is running, the cooling medium flows from the first motor 310 to the first return pipeline section, passes through the glass pipeline sight glass 531, and then flows through the second return pipeline section to the cooling device 40. Observing whether the cooling medium is flowing through the glass pipeline sight glass 531 makes the operating status of the cooling circulation system 50 more intuitive, thereby enabling timely detection of malfunctions in the cooling circulation system 50, avoiding intermittent cooling of the first motor 310, improving the stability of the first motor 310's operation, reducing the occurrence of safety accidents, and thus improving the stability and safety of the tunnel sterilization dryer's operation.

[0063] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the tunnel sterilization dryer further includes a pipe visualization device 530, which is installed on the cooling pipe 510 and the return pipe 520.

[0064] In this embodiment, both the cooling pipe 510 and the return pipe 520 are equipped with pipe visualization devices 530, making the flow of the cooling medium visible in the cooling pipe 510 and the return pipe 520. When the cooling circulation system 50 malfunctions, the location of the fault can be quickly determined, leading to faster problem resolution. For example, if cooling medium is flowing through the pipe visualization device 530 on the cooling pipe 510, but not through the pipe visualization device 530 on the return pipe 520, it can be determined that the fault occurs between the outlet of the first motor 310 and the inlet of the cooling pipe 510.

[0065] In some other embodiments of this utility model, the pipe viewing device 530 includes a glass pipe sight glass 531, the cooling pipe 510 includes a first cooling pipe section 511 and a second cooling pipe section 512, and the two ends of the glass pipe sight glass 531 are respectively sealed and connected to the first cooling pipe section 511 and the second cooling pipe section 512. The return pipe 520 includes a first return pipe section and a second return pipe section, and the two ends of the glass pipe sight glass 531 are respectively sealed and connected to the first return pipe section and the second return pipe section.

[0066] In some embodiments of this utility model, the pipe visualization device 530 includes a flow rate viewing window.

[0067] In this embodiment, the pipe visualization device 530 includes a flow window, through which the flow window is used to observe whether there is cooling medium flowing in the cooling pipe 510 or the return pipe 520.

[0068] In some embodiments of this invention, the cooling medium is purified water or air.

[0069] In this embodiment, the cooling medium is purified water or air, meaning the first motor 310 can be cooled by water cooling or air cooling. When purified water is used as the cooling medium, it is less prone to scaling, improving the cooling effect of the cooling circulation system 50, preventing equipment blockage in the cooling circulation system 50, extending the service life of the equipment, and reducing costs. Furthermore, purified water is pure, free of impurities and microorganisms, and will not pollute the environment even when discharged, thus contributing to the protection of the ecological environment.

[0070] In some embodiments of this invention, the cooling medium is purified water. The cooling device 40 includes a water tank 410 and a chiller 420. The water tank 410 is used to store purified water. The inlet of the water tank 410 is connected to the outlet of the return pipe 520, and the outlet of the water tank 410 is connected to the inlet of the cooling pipe 510. The chiller 420 is used to cool the purified water in the water tank 410.

[0071] In this embodiment, water cooling is used to cool the first motor 310. The cooling device 40 includes a water tank 410 and a chiller 420, with the water tank 410 located between the return pipe 520 and the cooling pipe 510. During the operation of the cooling circulation system, low-temperature purified water flows from the water tank 410 to the cooling pipe 510, then passes through the first motor 310, carrying away heat from it. The purified water temperature rises and returns to the water tank 410 through the return pipe 520. During the purified water circulation process, the chiller 420 continuously cools the purified water in the water tank 410. The water tank 410 can be used to store purified water, acting as a buffer when the operating conditions of the cooling circulation system 50 change. In case of leakage, it can quickly replenish purified water, improving the cooling effect of the cooling circulation system 50 on the first motor 310, thereby enhancing the stability and safety of the first motor 310's operation.

[0072] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the inlet of water tank 410 is connected to the outlet of return pipe 520, the outlet of water tank 410 is connected to the inlet of chiller 420, and the outlet of chiller 420 is connected to the inlet of cooling pipe 510.

[0073] In this embodiment, the return pipe 520, water tank 410, chiller 420, and cooling pipe 510 are connected in sequence. When the cooling circulation system is running, the chiller 420 lowers the temperature of the purified water. The low-temperature purified water flows to the first motor 310 through the cooling pipe 510, carrying away the heat in the first motor 310. The purified water temperature rises and flows through the return pipe 520 into the water tank 410, and then flows from the water tank 410 to the chiller 420 for cooling.

[0074] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the tunnel sterilization dryer also includes a temperature sensor 60 and a control cabinet 70. The temperature sensor 60 is located at the outlet of the water tank 410 and is used to monitor the temperature of the purified water in the water tank 410. The temperature sensor 60 and the chiller 420 are connected to the control cabinet 70. The control cabinet 70 includes a display screen 710 and an operation panel 720. The display screen 710 is used to display the temperature of the purified water in the water tank 410, and the operation panel 720 is used to adjust the cooling temperature of the chiller 420.

[0075] In this embodiment, the tunnel sterilization dryer also includes a temperature sensor 60 and a control cabinet 70. The temperature sensor 60 is located at the outlet of the water tank 410. The temperature sensor 60 is connected to the control cabinet 70, which includes a display screen 710 and an operation panel 720. The temperature sensor 60 detects the temperature of the purified water in the water tank 410 and transmits the data to the control cabinet 70, where it is displayed on the display screen 710. When the temperature of the purified water is outside the preset range, the cooling temperature of the chiller 420 can be adjusted manually on the operation panel 720. Alternatively, the cooling temperature of the chiller 420 can be automatically controlled based on the temperature of the purified water. The purified water carries away the heat from the first motor 310 as it passes through it. When the first motor 310 is generating significant heat, the temperature of the purified water is high, thus raising the temperature of the purified water in the water tank 410 as it flows into the water tank. Therefore, the temperature of the purified water detected by the temperature sensor 60 can indirectly reflect the heating status of the first motor 310. Temperature sensor 60 and control cabinet 70 monitor the temperature of purified water in water tank 410, and adjust the cooling temperature of chiller 420 according to the temperature of purified water in water tank 410, thereby enabling the first motor 310 to operate at the correct temperature, thus improving the stability and safety of the tunnel sterilization dryer.

[0076] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the tunnel sterilization dryer also includes a water supply pipe 820 and a water supply valve 830. One end of the water supply pipe 820 is connected to a water source, and the other end is connected to the inlet of the water tank 410 or the inlet of the first motor 310. The water supply valve 830 is installed on the water supply pipe 820 to allow the water supply pipe 820 to be opened or closed.

[0077] In this embodiment, the tunnel sterilization dryer also includes a water supply pipe 820 and a water supply valve 830. The water supply pipe 820 is connected to the inlet of the water tank 410 or the inlet of the first motor 310, and the water supply valve 830 is installed on the water supply pipe 820. When adding water to the water tank 410, the water supply valve 830 is opened manually or automatically, and the water supply valve 830 is closed after the water supply is completed.

[0078] Therefore, those skilled in the art should recognize that although many exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications conforming to the principles of the present invention can be directly determined or derived from the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
