Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying technology, specifically, an energy-saving dual-airbox drying system. Background Technology

[0002] Mesh belt dryers, also known as belt dryers or mesh belt dryers, are efficient and continuous drying equipment widely used in various industries such as food processing, agricultural and sideline products, chemicals, metallurgy, building materials, pharmaceuticals, and environmental protection. Their core principle is to utilize hot air to penetrate the material layer, combined with the uniform movement of the conveyor belt, to achieve gentle and uniform dehydration and drying of large quantities of wet materials.

[0003] Existing dual-airbox drying systems, such as Chinese patent CN208968221U, disclose an air-source belt dryer. This dryer uses top exhaust during material drying. Furthermore, in the aforementioned patent, the drying airflow passes through the material layer from bottom to top within the drying chamber, carrying away moisture before being discharged. This results in two problems: firstly, hot, humid air is directly released into the atmosphere, leading to significant heat waste; secondly, because the hot air passes through the material from bottom to top, the material at the bottom is prone to gelatinization due to its higher temperature and lower humidity, while the material at the top has a lower temperature and higher humidity, resulting in poor drying performance. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an energy-saving dual-box drying system that enables the drying gas inside the drying box to circulate through convenient means, thereby achieving uniform drying and heat recovery.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical means:

[0006] An energy-saving dual-box drying system includes:

[0007] The drying chamber has a built-in feeding conveyor belt;

[0008] An air supply box is provided on both sides of the drying box. The upper side wall of the air supply box is connected to the drying box. An air distribution mechanism connected to the air supply mechanism is provided in the upper cavity of the air supply box. The air distribution mechanism is used to supply hot air into the air supply box.

[0009] The dehumidification mechanism has an air inlet end connected to the bottom side wall of the drying box, and a dehumidification end extending from the air supply box and connected to the outside, and is equipped with a dehumidification fan for dehumidification.

[0010] The circulation mechanism includes an axial flow fan located at the bottom of the air supply box, the inlet end of the axial flow fan being connected to the bottom side wall of the drying box, and the outlet end of the axial flow fan being vertically upward.

[0011] The moisture exhaust system and the fresh air supply system are interconnected through a heat exchange box;

[0012] The air supply volume of the air supply mechanism is the same as the air exhaust volume of the dehumidification mechanism.

[0013] Preferably, the dehumidification mechanism includes a dehumidification pipe as an air inlet, the dehumidification pipe is connected to the drying box, and its end is connected to the moisture passage of the heat exchange box, the air outlet of the moisture passage of the heat exchange box is connected to the air inlet of the dehumidification fan.

[0014] Furthermore, the circulation mechanism is located on both sides of the exhaust pipe and is symmetrically arranged about one of the exhaust pipes.

[0015] Furthermore, the air supply mechanism includes a fresh air duct serving as a fresh air path. The air inlet of the fresh air duct is connected to the fresh air passage of the heat exchange box. The air inlet of the fresh air passage of the heat exchange box is located on the side wall of the heat exchange box. The end of the fresh air duct is connected to the combustion furnace via a blower. The air outlet of the combustion furnace is connected to the air distribution mechanism.

[0016] Furthermore, the air distribution mechanism includes an air supply pipe connected to the combustion furnace. The pipe body is located above the drying box, and the air supply pipe is connected to air inlet pipes that extend into the air supply box. The end of the air inlet pipe is connected to a horizontal air distribution pipe. The air distribution pipe is arranged parallel to the horizontal extension direction of the air supply box, and the pipe wall of the air distribution pipe is constructed with a plurality of air outlet holes that communicate with the air supply box.

[0017] Furthermore, the feeding conveyor belt is an S-shaped conveyor belt, with the top conveyor belt serving as the infeed side and the bottom conveyor belt serving as the discharge side.

[0018] Furthermore, the upper side wall of the air supply box is connected to the drying box through an air supply hole, which is located on the upper side of the top mesh belt of the feeding mesh belt.

[0019] This invention has the following beneficial effects in the process of drying materials:

[0020] The material to be dried is dried and conveyed on a feeding conveyor belt. Hot air for drying is first introduced into the air distribution box through the air supply mechanism. The air distribution box acts as a static pressure source, keeping the airflow relatively gentle. Under negative pressure, the hot air in the air distribution box enters the drying chamber from the upper side wall. When the dehumidification mechanism is activated, it draws air directly from the bottom of the drying chamber. This allows the hot air entering from the top of the drying chamber to penetrate the material from top to bottom, drying the material on the feeding conveyor belt. The dried, humid airflow is extracted by the dehumidification mechanism, creating a negative pressure inside the drying chamber relative to the air distribution box, ensuring that the hot air used for drying can penetrate the material from top to bottom for drying. With the airflow from the air supply mechanism and the dehumidification mechanism at the same level, the residual high-temperature air in the drying chamber and the air distribution box can circulate under the action of the circulation mechanism. This circulating flow not only makes the hot air flow in the drying chamber more uniform, preventing the hot air entering the drying chamber from flowing excessively downwards towards the air inlet of the dehumidification mechanism, thus avoiding the situation where the material at the bottom far from the air inlet of the dehumidification mechanism is not effectively dried; at the same time, it can also improve the drying efficiency by promoting the circulation of air, allowing the heat in the drying chamber to be distributed more evenly and quickly.

[0021] Furthermore, by having the humidified air duct of the dehumidification mechanism and the fresh air duct of the air supply mechanism interleave within the heat exchange box, the dried, high-temperature humidified air can transfer most of its heat to the fresh air supply, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the combustion furnace used to heat the fresh air. This achieves the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction. At the same time, by placing the air inlet of the dehumidification mechanism on the lower side of the drying box, even with the heat exchange box installed, space is saved, and the layout is simplified.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an energy-saving dual-box drying system includes:

[0032] Drying box 1, with built-in feeding mesh belt 2;

[0033] An air supply box 3 is provided on both sides of the drying box 1. The upper side wall of the air supply box 3 is connected to the drying box 1. An air distribution mechanism connected to the air supply mechanism is provided in the upper cavity of the air supply box 3. The air distribution mechanism is used to supply hot air into the air supply box 3.

[0034] The dehumidification mechanism has an air inlet end connected to the bottom side wall of the drying box 1, and a dehumidification end extending from the air supply box 3 to communicate with the outside, and is equipped with a dehumidification fan 4 for dehumidification.

[0035] The circulation mechanism includes an axial flow fan 5 located at the bottom of the air supply box 3. The inlet end of the axial flow fan 5 is connected to the bottom side wall of the drying box 1, and the outlet end of the axial flow fan 5 is vertically upward.

[0036] The moisture exhaust system and the fresh air supply system are heat-conducted and interwoven through the heat exchange box 6.

[0037] The air supply volume of the air supply mechanism is the same as the air exhaust volume of the dehumidification mechanism.

[0038] In this way, the material to be dried is dried and conveyed on the feeding mesh belt 2. Hot air for drying is first introduced into the air distribution box 3 through the air supply mechanism. The air distribution box 3 acts as a static pressure source, keeping the airflow relatively gentle. Under negative pressure, the hot air in the air distribution box 3 enters the drying chamber 1 from the upper side wall of the air distribution box 3. When the dehumidification mechanism is activated, it directly draws air from the bottom of the drying chamber 1. This allows the hot air entering from the top of the drying chamber 1 to penetrate the material from top to bottom, drying the material on the feeding mesh belt 2. The dried, humid airflow is extracted by the dehumidification mechanism, ensuring that the hot air used for drying can penetrate the material from top to bottom while maintaining a negative pressure inside the drying chamber 1 relative to the air distribution box 3. With the airflow from the air supply mechanism and the dehumidification mechanism at the same level, the residual high-temperature air inside the drying chamber 1 and the air distribution box 3 can circulate under the action of the circulation mechanism. This circulating flow not only makes the hot air flow in the drying chamber 1 more uniform, preventing the hot air entering the drying chamber 1 from flowing downwards too much towards the air inlet of the dehumidification mechanism, thus preventing the material at the bottom far from the air inlet of the dehumidification mechanism from being ineffectively dried; at the same time, it can also improve the drying efficiency by promoting the circulation of air, allowing the heat in the drying chamber 1 to be distributed more evenly and quickly.

[0039] Furthermore, by having the humid air duct of the dehumidification mechanism and the fresh air duct of the air supply mechanism interleaved within the heat exchange box 6, the dried, high-temperature humid air can transfer most of its heat to the fresh air in the air supply mechanism, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the combustion furnace used to heat the fresh air. This achieves the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction. At the same time, by placing the air inlet of the dehumidification mechanism on the lower side of the drying box 1, even with the heat exchange box 6 installed, space is saved, and the layout is simplified.

[0040] Specifically, the dehumidification mechanism includes a dehumidification pipe 7 as the air inlet, which is connected to the drying box 1 and its end is connected to the moisture passage of the heat exchange box 6. The air outlet of the moisture passage of the heat exchange box 6 is connected to the air inlet of the dehumidification fan 4.

[0041] Among them, the aforementioned exhaust pipe 7, the moisture passage of the heat exchange box 6, and the built-in air duct of the exhaust fan 4 together constitute the moisture air path.

[0042] Furthermore, in order to better maintain the uniformity of the hot air flow from top to bottom within the drying chamber 1, the circulation mechanism is located on both sides of the exhaust pipe 7 and is symmetrically arranged about one of the exhaust pipes 7.

[0043] This ensures that the hot air inside the drying chamber 1 is subjected to a relatively uniform downward suction force, thereby ensuring that the hot air can penetrate the material evenly from top to bottom and dry the material uniformly.

[0044] Furthermore, the air supply mechanism includes a fresh air duct 8 as a fresh air path. The air inlet end of the fresh air duct 8 is connected to the fresh air passage of the heat exchange box 6. The air inlet end of the fresh air passage of the heat exchange box 6 is located on the side wall of the heat exchange box 6. The end of the fresh air duct 8 is connected to the combustion furnace 10 through a blower 9. The air outlet end of the combustion furnace 10 is connected to the air distribution mechanism.

[0045] In this way, the fresh air that is about to enter the air distribution mechanism first enters the fresh air duct from the side wall of the heat exchange box 6, and then exchanges heat with the hot and humid air in the heat exchange box 6. After carrying some heat, it enters the combustion furnace 10 through the fresh air pipe 8 for heating, and then enters the air distribution mechanism from the combustion furnace 10. It is then evenly distributed into the air supply box 3 by the air distribution mechanism.

[0046] Furthermore, the air distribution mechanism includes an air supply pipe 11 connected to the combustion furnace 10. The pipe body of the air supply pipe 11 is located above the drying box 1, and the air supply pipe 11 is connected to an air inlet pipe 12 that extends into the air supply box 3. The end of the air inlet pipe 12 is connected to a horizontal air distribution pipe 13. The air distribution pipe 13 is arranged parallel to the horizontal extension direction of the air supply box 3, and the pipe wall of the air distribution pipe 13 is constructed with a plurality of air outlet holes that communicate with the air supply box 3.

[0047] Furthermore, the feeding mesh belt 2 is an S-shaped mesh belt, with the top mesh belt of the feeding mesh belt 2 serving as the feeding side and the bottom mesh belt serving as the discharging side.

[0048] Meanwhile, in order to ensure efficient drying, the upper side wall of the air supply box 3 is connected to the drying box 1 through an air supply hole, which is located on the upper side of the top mesh belt of the feeding mesh belt 2.

[0049] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
