Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grain dryer technology, and in particular to a hot air recovery mechanism based on a grain dryer. Background Technology

[0002] Grain dryers are agricultural machines used to reduce the moisture content of grains to meet safe storage standards. They are applied to the post-harvest processing of wheat, corn, and rice crops. After the wet grains enter the main drying unit, they are broken into a thin layer by the lifting plates and come into full contact with the hot air sent by the hot air system. The hot air transfers heat to the grains through convection heat exchange, causing the moisture to evaporate into water vapor. After processing, the moisture content is reduced to a safe standard, and the grains are discharged by the discharge device.

[0003] Existing grain dryers suffer from several drawbacks. Hot air enters from one side, leading to over-drying of grain near the hot air and under-drying of grain on the other side. Some dryers also enter from the top, making it difficult to dry grain on the bottom filter plates. Furthermore, without a distribution system in the central duct of the drying tower, more hot air is distributed to the area directly in front of the duct outlet, causing grain scorching, while less hot air is available at the base of the outlet, resulting in inadequate drying. Current solutions involve installing air guiding devices, such as curved guide vanes inside the drying chamber, to direct hot air to the front edge and corners of the chamber, creating a hot air vortex and extending the mixing time between grain and hot air. Adjusting vanes can also be installed at bends in the hot air inlet branch ducts to change the direction of the hot air and achieve uniform airflow to the left and right sides of the drying tower. However, some hot air is still directly exhausted, meaning that after entering the drying section, it is directly drawn out by the induced draft fan on the other side, resulting in a short residence time for the hot air within the drying section, reducing its efficiency and wasting energy. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a hot air recovery mechanism based on a grain dryer, which aims to improve the problem of short residence time of hot air inside the dryer in the prior art, thereby reducing the efficiency of hot air use and causing energy waste.

[0009] The diversion assembly includes two diversion pipes, with one adjacent end of each diversion pipe connected to the opposite side of the two collection pipes, and a discharge valve connected to the rear end of each diversion pipe.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The support assembly includes two support frames, the top of the inner walls of the two support frames are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the connecting shell, and multiple connecting seats are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frames.

[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. In this utility model, by starting the variable frequency fan and connecting the two connecting shells, hot air is recovered and extracted through the collection pipe.

[0040] Working principle: By starting the variable frequency fan 206, hot air is collected and extracted through the collection pipe 203 under the connection of the two connecting shells 202. At the same time, the central pipe 201 can collect and concentrate the airflow. Then the hot air is sent into the recovery box 1. The heating pump 4 on the right side of the bottom wall of the recovery box 1 completes the reheating of the hot air. Since the hot air itself carries heat, the energy consumption of the heating pump 4 is reduced. The reheated hot air is transported through the conveying pipe 205 connected to the right side of the top wall and the air supply pipe 207 connected to the top of the variable frequency fan 206. The mounting shells 204 on the upper and lower sides of the rear ends of the two collection pipes 203 and the rear ends of the air supply pipe 207 are installed on one side of the dryer to complete the hot air recovery and recycling. The filter mechanism 3 on the left side of the inner wall of the recovery box 1 filters the hot air to improve its purity. The movable door 5 connected to the middle of the top wall can be opened. The diversion component 208 on the side away from the collection pipe 203 and the support component 209 on the outer wall of the connecting shell 202 work together to realize the hot air recovery and utilization to reduce energy consumption, avoid the decline in efficiency, and improve the energy saving effect.

[0041] Furthermore, the filter column 303 can be installed by connecting the two mounting plates 301 and the multiple mounting holes 302 on one side of the mounting plates 301. This allows the filter column 303 to be fixed inside the recovery box 1 by the mounting plates 301 and the mounting holes 302. The extracted hot air is filtered by the multiple filter columns 303, thereby reducing the number of impurity particles in the hot air entering the variable frequency fan 206, avoiding damage to the impeller, preventing contamination of the grain, and improving the service life of the mechanism. Then, by rotating the multiple locking plates 304, the movable plate 305 can be easily opened and closed, achieving the purpose of convenient disassembly and assembly of the filter column 303.
