In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a material conveying belt may be disposed in the drying cavity for conveying the material from the material inlet 11 to the material outlet 12, and the heat exchange gas inlet 28 and the heat exchange gas outlet may be disposed below and above the material conveying belt, respectively. Optionally, in order to further improve the drying efficiency of the material, the material conveying belt may also be a wire mesh belt, so that hot air can conveniently penetrate through the wire mesh belt and enter between the crushed granular materials to take away moisture in the materials.
Optionally, the material conveying belt may be driven in a substantially horizontal direction, for example, but not limited to, the material conveying belt may be driven horizontally from the first end to the second end, and the material feeding port 11 may be located above the material conveying belt, so that the material may directly fall on the material conveying belt after entering the drying chamber through the material feeding port 11, and may move along with the driving of the material conveying belt, so as to avoid being stacked below the material feeding port 11.
To further provide for adequate drying of the material, the material conveyor may optionally include a plurality of material conveyors, such as, but not limited to, an odd number of material conveyors. Alternatively, the material conveyor may be 1, 3, 5, etc.
Referring to fig. 2, as an example, the material conveying belts may be 3 belts and are spaced apart from each other and arranged substantially in parallel, for example, but not limited to, the material conveying belts may include an upper material conveying belt 14, a middle material conveying belt 31 and a lower material conveying belt 15, and the upper material conveying belt 14, the middle material conveying belt 31 and the lower material conveying belt 15 are sequentially spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the material drying box 10, that is, the upper material conveying belt 14 may be located above the lower material conveying belt 15, the middle material conveying belt 31 may be located between the upper material conveying belt 14 and the lower material conveying belt 15, and the upper material conveying belt 14, the middle material conveying belt 31 and the lower material conveying belt 15 may be spaced apart in the height direction of the material drying box 10, and a containing space for placing materials may be provided between the adjacent material conveying belts.
In order to enable materials to be conveyed on the material conveying belts smoothly and continuously, under the condition that the number of the material conveying belts is more than 1, the end parts of the material conveying belts can be arranged in a staggered mode in the conveying direction of the materials, so that the materials can automatically fall onto the material conveying belt which is adjacent to the material conveying belt and is located below the material conveying belt from one material conveying belt located above.
As an example, the right end of the middle material conveyor belt 31 may be closer to the right end of the material drying box 10 than the upper material conveyor belt 14, so that the material may automatically fall to the right end of the middle material conveyor belt 31 after being separated from the right end of the upper material conveyor belt 14, and may be conveyed to the left end of the material drying box 10 along with the middle material conveyor belt 31. Compared with the middle material conveying belt 31, the left end of the lower material conveying belt 15 can be closer to the left end of the material drying box 10, so that the left end of the lower material conveying belt 15 can be automatically dropped from the left end of the middle material conveying belt 31, the material can be conveyed to the right end of the material drying box 10 along with the lower material conveying belt 15, the material is conveyed in a reciprocating mode, moisture in the material is taken away by hot air in the process, and material drying is achieved.

Further, in order to introduce sufficient hot air into the material drying box 10, a plurality of heat exchange air inlets 28 may be disposed at intervals on the sidewall of the material drying box 10. Alternatively, the heat exchange gas inlet 28 may be disposed below the lower material conveyor belt 15, for example, but not limited to, the heat exchange gas inlet 28 may be disposed on the front end wall of the material drying box 10, so as to uniformly distribute the air below the material conveyor belt by controlling the air inlet speed of the heat exchange gas inlet 28. Alternatively, a plurality of heat exchange gas inlets 28 may be provided at intervals in the conveying direction of the material, for example, but not limited to, a plurality of heat exchange gas inlets 28 may communicate with the blast passage 17 so that the gas of each heat exchange gas inlet 28 has the same temperature. By way of example, the air supply channel 17 may be disposed outside the material drying box 10, for example, but not limited to, the air supply channel 17 is disposed substantially parallel to the air outlet air collecting channel 19, and both of them may be disposed on an outer side wall of the front end surface of the material drying box 10.

Alternatively, the heat exchange gas outlet may be located above the heat exchange gas inlet 28 to comply with the hot gas flow principle, i.e. the hot gas flows from a low position to a high position. Further, heat transfer gas export and heat transfer gas import 28 can be crisscross the setting on material conveying direction, and the heat transfer gas export can be located between two adjacent heat transfer gas imports 28 promptly, so gaseous can rise along tortuous path in the mummification incasement to carry out abundant contact with the material, thereby improve the utilization ratio of energy.
Because the temperature of the low-temperature gas flowing through the heat exchange gas outlet is higher than the normal temperature, the low-temperature gas can be slightly heated and then sent into the material drying box 10 again, so that the energy utilization rate is improved.

With continued reference to fig. 2, the heat exchange gas outlet and the secondary air inlet 13 may be both disposed on the front end wall of the material drying box 10, and the heat exchange gas outlet may be located below the secondary air inlet 13, in this embodiment, the heat exchange gas outlet is located below the heat exchanger 22, and therefore is shielded by the heat exchanger 22 and is not shown.

As an example, the auxiliary heating device 23 may be a heating pipe or a heating plate, the gas in the blowing channel 17 may be a normal temperature gas, and may also have a predetermined temperature T4, which satisfies T4 > T3, and the temperature of the normal temperature gas is T3.

Thus, the cross-sectional area of the expansion chamber 33 can be larger than that of the tail gas pipeline 30, and the speed of the gas entering the expansion chamber 33 is obviously reduced due to the larger cross-sectional area, so that the gas can exchange heat with the condenser 25 for a longer time to reduce the temperature. Except this, because the grow of cross-sectional area, the flow direction that enters into the gas in the expansion chamber 33 changes, and then forms the vortex, makes gas can blow to condenser 25 all directions, avoids the miscellaneous dirt deposit in the tail gas on condenser 25's surface to can avoid to a certain extent because the miscellaneous dirt deposit and condenser 25 surface corrosion that leads to, improve condenser 25's life.
