Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of grain drying technology, and in particular relates to a heat pump grain drying tower. Background Technology
[0002] Grains refer to the general term for various plant seeds used in cooking, and can also be broadly referred to as cereals. Grain crops are rich in nutrients, mainly protein, vitamins, dietary fiber, fat, starch, etc. When storing grains, it is necessary to remove the moisture from them. At this time, a heat pump grain drying tower can be used to dry the grains.
[0003] Currently available heat pump grain drying towers typically use electricity directly for heating during actual use, without any other auxiliary functions. Therefore, the ratio of electrical energy to heat energy conversion is 1:1, resulting in high electricity consumption and high operating costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a heat pump grain drying tower to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A heat pump grain drying tower includes an outer wall, an insulation wall, and a drying tower body. The insulation wall is installed inside the outer wall, and a machine room is set inside the insulation wall. A compressor is installed inside the machine room, and an expansion valve is provided inside the machine room. An induced draft fan is installed on the surface of the outer wall, an evaporator is installed inside the insulation wall, a condenser is set inside the insulation wall, and a dust collector is provided inside the insulation wall. The outer wall is connected to the drying tower body through a first hot air duct, a second hot air duct, a third hot air duct, and a fourth hot air duct. The drying tower body is connected to the outer wall through a heat recovery channel, one end of which is located at the recovery port. A hoist is connected to the side of the drying tower body.
[0006] Preferably, a temperature sensor is installed inside the drying tower body, and an isolation plate is installed inside the drying tower body.
[0007] Preferably, a cold air duct is installed on the surface of the drying tower body, an electrical distribution cabinet is installed inside the machine room, and a heat pump unit is installed inside the insulation wall.
[0008] Preferably, a preheater is provided outside the condenser, and a recovery port is opened on the surface of the outer wall, and the recovery ports are symmetrically distributed.
[0009] Preferably, a corridor is formed on the surface of the exterior wall, and the corridor is located at the top of the computer room.
[0010] Preferably, the induced draft fans are symmetrically distributed.
[0011] This utility model of a heat pump grain drying tower has the following advantages: The heat pump grain drying tower incorporates an insulation wall installed inside the outer wall, with a machine room inside the insulation wall housing a compressor and an expansion valve. An induced draft fan is installed on the outer wall surface, and an evaporator and a condenser are installed inside the insulation wall. A dust collector is also installed inside the insulation wall. The outer wall is connected to the drying tower body via a first, second, third, and fourth hot air duct. The drying tower body is connected to the outer wall via a heat recovery channel, one end of which is located at the recovery port. A hoist is connected to the side of the drying tower body. When using the drying tower, the grain can be lifted into the dryer via the hoist, and then outside air can be introduced by the induced draft fan. Liquid refrigerant passes through the expansion valve... The refrigerant enters the evaporator, absorbs heat from the ambient air, and evaporates into a gaseous state. At this time, the evaporator temperature can be as low as -20℃ to 38℃, continuously acquiring low-grade heat energy from the outside. Then, the gaseous refrigerant is compressed by the compressor into a high-temperature, high-pressure gas, with a temperature reaching 100℃ to 110℃. This process consumes electrical energy and improves the heat grade. Subsequently, the high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant enters the condenser, releases heat through the heat exchanger to heat the drying medium, and condenses into a liquid state. The liquid refrigerant is then depressurized by the expansion valve and re-enters the evaporator, completing the cycle. Thus, this system can absorb and transfer 3 to 4 units of heat from the environment for every unit of electrical energy consumed, resulting in a significantly higher energy efficiency ratio than traditional electric heating equipment. Furthermore, the drying medium circulates in a closed loop within the tower, preventing heat loss. At the same time, moisture is removed through a condensation dehumidification or dehumidification system, ensuring drying efficiency and greatly reducing costs during use. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the heat pump grain drying tower of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the heat pump grain drying tower of this utility model includes an outer wall 1, an insulation wall 2, and a drying tower body 15. The insulation wall 2 is installed inside the outer wall 1, and a machine room 3 is set inside the insulation wall 2. A compressor 4 is installed inside the machine room 3, and an expansion valve 5 is installed inside the machine room 3. An induced draft fan 6 is installed on the surface of the outer wall 1, and an evaporator 7, a condenser 8, and a dust collector 18 are installed inside the insulation wall 2. The outer wall 1 is connected to the drying tower body 15 through a first hot air duct 9, a second hot air duct 10, a third hot air duct 11, and a fourth hot air duct 12. By installing the induced draft fan 6, the evaporator 7, the condenser 8, and the dust collector 18, when using the drying tower, the grain can be lifted into the drying tower by a hoist 14, and then the outside air can be introduced by the induced draft fan 6. The liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator 7 through the expansion valve 5, absorbs heat from the ambient air, and evaporates into a gaseous state. At this time, the temperature of the evaporator 7 can be as low as -20℃ to 38℃. The system continuously acquires low-grade heat energy from the outside environment. The gaseous refrigerant is then compressed by compressor 4 into a high-temperature, high-pressure gas, reaching temperatures of 100℃ to 110℃. This process consumes electrical energy and increases the heat grade. The high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant then enters condenser 8, where it releases heat through a heat exchanger to heat the drying medium. It condenses into a liquid state, and the liquid refrigerant is depressurized by expansion valve 5 before re-entering evaporator 7, completing the cycle. This allows the system to absorb and transfer 3-4 units of heat from the environment for every unit of electrical energy consumed, resulting in a significantly higher energy efficiency ratio than traditional electric heating equipment. The drying tower body 15 is connected to the outer wall 1 via a heat recovery channel 24. One end of the heat recovery channel 24 is located at the recovery port 22. A hoist 14 is connected to the side of the drying tower body 15. By installing the heat recovery channel 24, the drying medium can circulate in a closed loop within the tower, preventing heat loss. Simultaneously, moisture is removed through a condensation dehumidification or dehumidification system, ensuring drying efficiency and significantly reducing costs during use.
[0025] A temperature sensor 16 is installed inside the drying tower body 15, and an isolation plate 17 is installed inside the drying tower body 15. By installing the temperature sensor 16, the temperature inside the drying tower can be known at all times, providing a reference for subsequent temperature adjustment, which is very convenient to use.
[0026] A cold air duct 13 is installed on the surface of the drying tower body 15, an electrical distribution cabinet 19 is installed inside the machine room 3, and a heat pump unit 20 is installed inside the insulation wall 2. By installing the cold air duct 13, the liquid from the grain drying process can be cooled to form a liquid, which is then discharged, making it very convenient to use.
[0027] The condenser 8 is equipped with a preheater 21 on the outside, and a recovery port 22 is opened on the surface of the outer wall 1. The recovery ports 22 are symmetrically distributed. By installing the preheater 21, the waste heat can be used to provide waste heat to the air inside the system, which can improve working efficiency and thus improve drying efficiency.
[0028] A corridor 23 is opened on the surface of the exterior wall 1. The corridor 23 is located on the top of the computer room 3. By installing the corridor 23, a walking passage can be provided for the users, making it easier for them to reach the location. It is very convenient to use.
[0029] The induced draft fans 6 are symmetrically distributed. By installing the induced draft fans 6 in this way, air can be introduced evenly, thereby improving the air intake efficiency.
[0030] The working principle of this heat pump grain drying tower is as follows: When using the drying tower, the grain is first placed inside the drying tower body 15. An insulation wall 2 is installed inside the outer wall 1, and a machine room 3 is set up inside the insulation wall 2. A compressor 4 is installed inside the machine room 3, and an expansion valve 5 is installed inside the machine room 3. An induced draft fan 6 is installed on the surface of the outer wall 1, and an evaporator 7 and a condenser 8 are installed inside the insulation wall 2. A dust collector 18 is also installed inside the insulation wall 2. The outer wall 1 is connected to the drying tower body 15 through a first hot air duct 9, a second hot air duct 10, a third hot air duct 11, and a fourth hot air duct 12. The drying tower body 15 is connected to the outer wall 1 through a heat recovery channel 24, one end of which is located at the recovery port 22. A hoist 14 is connected to the side of the drying tower body 15. When using the drying tower, the grain can be lifted into the drying tower by the hoist 14, and then outside air can be introduced by the induced draft fan 6. Liquid refrigerant passes through the expansion valve 5. The refrigerant enters evaporator 7, absorbs heat from the ambient air, and evaporates into a gaseous state. At this time, the temperature of evaporator 7 can be as low as -20℃ to 38℃, continuously acquiring low-grade heat energy from the outside. Then, the gaseous refrigerant is compressed by compressor 4 into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas, with a temperature reaching 100℃ to 110℃. This process consumes electrical energy and improves the heat grade. Subsequently, the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant enters condenser 8, releases heat through the heat exchanger to heat the drying medium, and condenses into a liquid state. The liquid refrigerant is depressurized by expansion valve 5 and re-enters evaporator 7 to complete the cycle. Thus, this system can absorb and transfer 3 to 4 units of heat from the environment for every unit of electrical energy consumed, with a significantly higher energy efficiency ratio than traditional electric heating equipment. Furthermore, the drying medium circulates in a closed loop within the tower, preventing heat loss. At the same time, moisture is removed through a condensation dehumidification or dehumidification system to ensure drying efficiency and greatly reduce costs during use. During the operation of this heat pump grain drying tower, the current, pressure, temperature, and material status are monitored in real time, and operating data is recorded to ensure that there are no abnormalities such as overheating or blockage.

Furthermore, under the teachings of this utility model, these features and embodiments can be modified to adapt to specific situations and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application are within the protection scope of this utility model.
