Detailed Implementation
[0024] See Figures 1-4 As shown, the technical solution adopted in this specific embodiment is: a circulating air duct for heating a dryer, including a first drying chamber 1 and a second drying chamber 2 disposed on one side of the first drying chamber 1. A first equipment chamber 3 and a second equipment chamber 4 are respectively disposed at the same end of the first drying chamber 1 and the second drying chamber 2. The first drying chamber 1 includes an upper first return air duct 12 and a lower first drying area for placing bamboo products to be dried. The second drying chamber 2 includes an upper second return air duct 22 and a lower second drying area for placing bamboo products to be dried. The first drying area and the second drying area are interconnected.

At least one second fan 41 is provided in the lower part of the second equipment room 4. A heating coil 5 is provided between the first fan 31 and the second fan 41 and the first air outlet 16 and the second air outlet 26.
[0026] A first guide baffle 13 is provided on the end face of the first drying zone away from the first equipment room 3. A first return air outlet 14 is provided on the end face of the first drying zone away from the first equipment room 3, which is connected to one end of the first return air channel 12. The other end of the first return air channel 12 is connected to the upper part of the first equipment room 3 through the first return air outlet 15.
[0027] A second guide baffle 23 is provided on the end face of the second drying zone away from the second equipment room 4. At least one layer of flow equalization plate 6 is provided in the second drying zone along the length of the second return air channel 22. A second return air outlet 24 is provided on the end of the second drying zone away from the second equipment room 4, which is connected to one end of the second return air channel 22. The other end of the second return air channel 22 is connected to the upper part of the second equipment room 4 through the second return air outlet 25.
[0028] The first material inlet 11 is provided on the side of the first drying chamber 1 that is away from the second drying chamber 2.
[0029] The second drying chamber 2 has a second material inlet 21 on the side away from the first drying chamber 1. One of the first material inlet 11 and the second material inlet 21 is a feed inlet and the other is a discharge outlet.
[0030] The heating coil 5 has a heat exchange fluid inlet 51 at one end and a heat exchange fluid outlet 52 at the other end.

[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During use, the bamboo products to be dried enter the drying zone of the drying room through the first material inlet (or the second material inlet). The first and second fans are started, and the blown air is converted into hot air through the heating coil. The hot air enters the drying zone through the air outlet to dry the bamboo products. The hot air blown by the first fan passes through the first drying zone, is blocked by the first guide baffle, and then flows upward through the first return air outlet into the first return air channel. It then flows back to the first equipment room through the first return air outlet. The hot air blown by the second fan passes through the second drying zone, where it is evenly distributed by the flow equalization plate, resulting in more uniform drying. It continues to be blocked by the second guide baffle, then flows upward through the flow equalization plate and enters the second return air channel through the second return air outlet. It then flows back to the second equipment room through the second return air outlet. In this way, the residual hot air can return to the fan inlet to form a circulation, fully utilizing heat, saving energy, achieving high thermal efficiency, and providing excellent drying results.
