[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The present invention provides cleaning units above and below each cryogenic tube.

The lifting unit then drives the cleaning unit upward, so that the cleaning unit below the cryogenic tube cleans the lower part of the cryogenic tube.

[0031] In order to further understand the features, technical means, specific objectives and functions achieved by the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] Reference Figure 1-Figure 5 and Figure 10: A self-cleaning low-temperature dehydration tower for removing phosphorus, comprising a tower body 1 and a low-temperature tube 2 arranged in the tower body 1; the tower body 1 is a cylindrical shell structure, a plurality of low-temperature tubes 2 are arranged in the tower body 1 along the vertical direction, and a cleaning unit 3 is arranged above and below each layer of low-temperature tubes 2, and the cleaning unit 3 includes a covering shell 32 rotating around the axis of the tower body 1, the covering shell 32 is a cylindrical structure, the axis of the covering shell 32 is parallel to the radial direction of the tower body 1, and an opening is provided on the covering shell 32, which is vertically facing the low-temperature tube 2 and rotates in the covering shell 32. A shielding plate 33 is provided in the covering shell 32, which has an arc-shaped structure. The shielding plate 33 can cover the opening during rotation. A cleaning plate 31 that rotates around the axis of the covering shell 32 is also provided in the covering shell 32. When the shielding plate 33 covers the opening, the cleaning plate 31 stops rotating. When the shielding plate 33 is withdrawn from the opening, the cleaning plate 31 continues to rotate. A driving unit 4 that drives the covering shell 32 to rotate around the axis of the tower body 1 is provided on the upper part of the cleaning unit 3, and a lifting unit 5 that drives the cleaning unit 3 to rise and fall in the vertical direction is also provided above the cleaning unit 3.

[0033] The operating principle of existing low-temperature dehydration towers is to introduce refrigerant into cryogenic tubes 2, causing them to rapidly cool. Subsequently, the water-washed gas containing diphosphate is passed into the tower body 1. As the gas passes through the cryogenic tubes 2, the temperature difference there creates water vapor, which in turn separates the diphosphate. This removes the water vapor and diphosphate from the gas entering the tower body 1, with the separated water and diphosphate accumulating at the bottom of the tower body 1. Due to the very low temperature of the tower body 1 itself, existing processes typically employ two low-temperature dehydration towers: a primary tower at -50 degrees Celsius and a secondary tower at -110 degrees Celsius. The separated water and diphosphate accumulate within the tower body 1. An electric heating element is installed at the bottom of the tower body 1, which is periodically activated to melt and discharge any water and diphosphate condensed on the cryogenic tubes 2. However, diphosphate still clings to the exterior of the cryogenic tubes 2. After a period of use, the cryogenic tubes 2 need to be cleaned. Since multiple cryogenic tubes 2 are vertically arranged within the tower body 1, cleaning requires sequentially removing and cleaning cryogenic tubes 2 from different layers, a significant workload. If left uncleaned for an extended period, residual phosphine accumulates and becomes difficult to remove, potentially affecting the proper functioning of the cryogenic tubes 2.

[0034] In order to avoid the above situation, a cleaning unit 3 is set in the tower body 1. A cleaning unit 3 is set above and below each layer of the cryogenic tube 2. When the cryogenic tube 2 needs to be cleaned, it can be cleaned by the cleaning unit 3 without disassembling the cryogenic tube 2 layer by layer, which reduces the workload. The specific structure and working steps of the cleaning unit 3 are as follows: During the operation of the low-temperature dehydration tower, the gas containing phosphorus is introduced into the tower body 1 from the bottom of the tower body 1. The water and phosphorus in the gas are separated when passing through the low-temperature tube 2. The remaining gas is discharged from the upper part of the tower body 1. The separated water and phosphorus first accumulate on the low-temperature tube 2. As the accumulation amount gradually increases, the electric heating wire set at the bottom of the tower body 1 is regularly activated. The cleaning unit 3 is synchronously activated when the electric heating wire is activated. The cleaning unit 3 does not contact the low-temperature tube 2 when the electric heating wire is not activated. When the electric heating wire is activated, the water and phosphorus condensed on the low-temperature tube 2 gradually separate. At this time, the lifting unit 5 first lowers the cleaning unit 3. Since there is a cleaning unit 3 above and below each layer of low-temperature tube 2, there are multiple cleaning units 3 in the tower body 1. The lifting unit 5 drives all the cleaning units 3 to rise and fall synchronously. When the lifting unit 5 drives the cleaning unit 3 to descend, the corresponding cleaning unit 3 above each low-temperature tube 2 begins to descend. The shielding plate 33 in the cleaning unit 3 rotates and withdraws from the opening of the covering shell 32, and the driving unit 4 drives The covering shells 32 in all cleaning units 3 are driven to rotate around the axis of the tower body 1, and at the same time, the cleaning plates 31 in the covering shells 32 begin to rotate around the axis of the covering shells 32. This avoids the situation where the cleaning plates 31 always use a single position of a cleaning plate 31 to clean the cryogenic tube 2 as the covering shell 32 rotates around the axis of the tower body 1, which results in poor cleaning effect and high wear on the cleaning plates 31. Instead, the cleaning plates 31 are rotated in the covering shells 32, and multiple cleaning plates 31 are arranged in one covering shell 32, thereby improving the cleaning effect. When the cleaning unit 3 above the cryogenic tube 2 cleans the cryogenic tube 2, the cleaning unit 3 below the cryogenic tube 2 is away from the cryogenic tube 2, and the opening of the covering shell 32 in the cleaning unit 3 is shielded by the shielding plate 33. In this way, the water and phosphorus cleaned from the cryogenic tube 2 will not fall into the covering shell 32 below the cryogenic tube 2 through the opening. Similarly, after the cleaning unit 3 above the cryogenic tube 2 completes cleaning the upper part of the cryogenic tube 2, the lifting unit 5 drives the cleaning unit 3 to rise, so that the cleaning unit 3 below the cryogenic tube 2 cleans the lower part of the cryogenic tube 2. When the cleaning unit 3 below the cryogenic tube 2 cleans the cryogenic tube 2, the shielding plate 33 in the cleaning unit 3 rotates and withdraws from the opening of the covering shell 32. Then, the cleaning plate 31 in the cleaning unit 3 rotates around the axis of the covering shell 32 inside the covering shell 32, and the covering shell 32 rotates around the axis of the tower body 1.

[0035] In this way, automatic cleaning of the cryogenic tube 2 is achieved, and the workload is reduced. At the same time, by arranging a covering shell 32 on the outside of the cleaning plate 31, it is also avoided that the cleaning plate 31 is attached to phosphorus when it is in a non-cleaning state, and the cleaning plate 31 is avoided from slipping when cleaning the cryogenic tube 2, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect.

[0036] It is worth noting that the rotation speed of the cleaning plate 31 located in the covering shell 32 is greater than the rotation speed of the covering shell 32 around the tower body 1, so as to avoid a blind spot when cleaning the cryogenic tube 2.

[0037] Reference Figures 1-12 : The rotation speed of the cleaning plate 31 around the axis of the covering shell 32 is greater than the rotation speed of the covering shell 32 around the axis of the tower body 1.

[0038] The rotation speed of the cleaning plate 31 around the covering shell 32 is greater than the rotation speed of the covering shell 32 around the tower body 1. No recommended parameters are given in this article, and the specific parameters can be determined according to actual conditions.

[0039] Reference Figure 5 : The cleaning unit 3 includes a rotating shaft 311 that is rotatable along the axis of the covering shell 32 and is arranged inside the covering shell 32. The driving unit 4 is rotatable along the axis of the covering shell 32 and is arranged on the rotating shaft 311 inside the covering shell 32. The cleaning plate 31 is arranged on the rotating shaft 311. The cleaning plate 31 rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft 311. A plurality of magnetic blocks 313 are evenly distributed around the axis of the rotating shaft 311 at the end of the rotating shaft 311. A plurality of electromagnets 312 are distributed on one side of the magnetic block 313. The electromagnets 312 are arranged around the axis of the rotating shaft 311. The power-on logic of the electromagnets 312 is to be energized in sequence.

[0040] Reference Figure 10 and Figure 11 : A ratchet 34 is fixedly provided at the end of the rotating shaft 311, a rotating ring 35 is rotatably provided on the periphery of the ratchet 34, the baffle 33 is fixedly provided on the rotating ring 35, and a plurality of extension claws 351 are fixedly provided on the inner ring of the rotating ring 35. The extension claws 351 are evenly arranged around the axis of the rotating ring 35, and the ends of the extension claws 351 extend to one side of the ratchet 34 and contact the ratchet 34. The extension claws 351 are matched with the ratchet 34 for one-way rotation. The extension claws 351 are made of elastic material, and a limit block 36 is fixedly provided inside the covering shell 32. The limit block 36 is located on the opening side of the covering shell 32, and the limit block 36 is located on the rotation path of the baffle 33.

[0041] When the cleaning unit 3 cleans the cryogenic tube 2, the electromagnet 312 starts to be energized in sequence, and the electromagnet 312 attracts the magnetic block 313 provided at the end of the rotating shaft 311, so that the rotating shaft 311 can rotate in the covering shell 32, and the cleaning plate 31 provided on the rotating shaft 311 rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft 311. At this time, the shielding plate 33 is in the withdrawn state, that is, the shielding plate 33 does not block the opening on the covering shell 32. At this time, the shielding plate 33 is in the covering shell 32 and contacts one end of the limit block 36. When the rotating shaft 311 rotates, the ratchet 34 is driven. The extending claw 351 rotates synchronously. At this time, the ratchet 34 cooperates with the extending claw 351 to rotate in one direction, and the extending claw 351 does not hinder the ratchet 34. In this way, after the baffle plate 33 is limited by the limit block 36, the ratchet 34 can still rotate normally. After the cleaning is completed, the electromagnet 312 is energized in reverse order, the rotating shaft 311 rotates in the opposite direction, the ratchet 34 pushes the extending claw 351, and the extending claw 351 drives the baffle plate 33 to rotate synchronously through the rotating ring 35. When the baffle plate 33 blocks the opening of the covering shell 32 and contacts the limit block 36, the rotating shaft 311 stops rotating. When cleaning is needed again, the rotating shaft 311 drives the extending claw 351 to rotate through the ratchet 34. Since the extending claw 351 is elastic, when the baffle plate 33 does not contact the end of the limit block 36, the ratchet 34 drives the rotating ring 35 to rotate synchronously through the extending claw 351, thereby realizing the synchronous rotation of the rotating shaft 311 and the baffle plate 33. When the baffle plate 33 contacts the limit block 36, the rotating shaft 311 continues to rotate, and the extending claw 351 bends during the rotation of the ratchet 34, so that the rotating shaft 311 can continue to rotate, while the baffle plate 33 stops rotating.

[0042] Reference Figure 6 : The driving unit 4 includes a driving shaft 41 that is vertically rotated and arranged in the tower body 1. The covering shell 32 is fixedly arranged on the side wall of the driving shaft 41. A gear ring 42 is fixedly sleeved on the upper part of the driving shaft 41. A gear 43 is meshed with one side of the gear ring 42. A rotating driver 44 for driving the gear 43 to rotate is provided at the upper end of the gear 43.

[0043] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 : A first ventilation groove 45 is vertically opened in the driving shaft 41, and a second ventilation groove 46 is opened in the rotating shaft 311 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 311. The first ventilation groove 45 and the second ventilation groove 46 are connected to each other. A push plate 47 is vertically arranged in the first ventilation groove 45, and a limiting ring 48 is fixed above and below the push plate 47 respectively. The push plate 47 moves between the two limiting rings 48 along the vertical direction. An air pump 49 connected to the first ventilation groove 45 is provided on the upper part of the first ventilation groove 45, and a sliding groove is opened on the rotating shaft 311 along the radial direction of the rotating shaft 311, and the cleaning plate 31 is slidably arranged on the sliding groove.

[0044] The rotary driver 44 is preferably a servo motor. The rotary driver 44 drives the gear ring 42 to rotate via the gear 43, thereby rotating the rotating shaft 311, and the rotating shaft 311 drives the cover shell 32 to rotate synchronously. During cleaning, the air pump 49 provided at the end of the first ventilation groove 45 supplies air to the first ventilation groove 45, causing the push plate 47 provided in the first ventilation groove 45 to descend. This allows the air in the first ventilation groove 45 to be discharged into the second ventilation groove 46, thereby causing the cleaning plate 31 slidably provided on the sliding groove to slide out. When the cleaning plate 31 passes through the opening of the cover shell 32, the cleaning plate 31 extends radially along the rotating shaft 311, allowing the cleaning plate 31 to better clean the cryogenic tube 2. Since the cleaning plate 31 is an arc-shaped structure, the cleaning plate 31 can slide back into the cover shell 32 after extending through the opening of the cover shell 32.

[0045] Reference Figure 6 : A driving rod 441 is vertically fixed on the output end of the rotary driver 44. The horizontal cross-section of the driving rod 441 is a non-circular structure. The driving rod 441 vertically penetrates the gear 43 and slides with the gear 43 in the vertical direction.

[0046] Reference Figure 9 : The lifting unit 5 includes a winder 51 arranged at the upper part of the tower body 1, a lifting rope 53 is wound inside the winder 51, and a lifting frame 52 is arranged to move vertically inside the tower body 1. The drive unit 4 is arranged on the lifting frame 52, and the end of the lifting rope 53 extending from the winder 51 is fixedly connected to the lifting frame 52.

[0047] The rotary driver 44 is fixedly arranged on the top of the tower body 1. Since the lifting frame 52 moves in the vertical direction, in order to ensure that the rotary driver 44 can smoothly drive the gear 43 to rotate, a driving rod 441 is provided on the output end of the rotary driver 44, so that the horizontal cross-section of the driving rod 441 is a non-circular structure, and the driving rod 441 and the gear 43 are slidably matched in the vertical direction. In this way, no matter how the lifting frame 52 is raised or lowered, the driving rod 441 can drive the gear 43 to rotate.

[0048] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 : A plurality of air inlet pipes 11 are vertically arranged at the bottom of the tower body 1, and the air inlet pipes 11 introduce the gas containing phosphorus into the tower body 1. A fan 12 is arranged at the top of the tower body 1, and the fan 12 is used to discharge the air in the tower body 1.

[0049] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 7 : A shielding cap 13 is provided on the upper part of the air inlet pipe 11, and the shielding cap 13 is a conical structure. A switch valve 14 is provided at the bottom of the tower body 1.

[0050] Multiple nozzles 15 are installed on the side walls of the housing. These nozzles spray cleaning fluid into the tower body 1 during cleaning by the cleaning unit 3. An electric heating wire is installed at the bottom of the tower body 1. When activated, the on-off valve 14 opens, melting the ice on the cryogenic tube 2 into water. The phosphorus attached to the cryogenic tube 2 falls along with the water and is discharged through the on-off valve 14. A shielding cap 13 installed above the air inlet pipe 11 prevents the falling water and phosphorus from entering the air inlet pipe 11, thus preventing the air inlet pipe 11 from freezing and clogging due to the temperature drop in the tower body 1 after the cryogenic tube 2 is cooled again.

[0051] Working principle: During cleaning, the cleaning unit 3 and the electric heating wire are started at the same time. The cleaning unit 3 does not contact the cryogenic tube 2 when the electric heating wire is not started. When the electric heating wire is started, the water and phosphorus condensed on the cryogenic tube 2 gradually separate. At this time, the lifting unit 5 first lowers the cleaning unit 3. Since there is a cleaning unit 3 above and below each cryogenic tube 2, there are multiple cleaning units 3 in the tower body 1. The lifting unit 5 drives all the cleaning units 3 to rise and fall synchronously. When the lifting unit 5 drives the cleaning unit 3 to fall, the corresponding cleaning unit 3 above each cryogenic tube 2 begins to fall. The shielding plate 33 in the cleaning unit 3 rotates and withdraws from the opening of the covering shell 32, and the driving unit 4 drives The covering shells 32 in all cleaning units 3 are driven to rotate around the axis of the tower body 1, and at the same time, the cleaning plates 31 in the covering shells 32 begin to rotate around the axis of the covering shells 32. This avoids the situation where the cleaning plates 31 always use a single position of a cleaning plate 31 to clean the cryogenic tube 2 as the covering shell 32 rotates around the axis of the tower body 1, which results in poor cleaning effect and high wear on the cleaning plates 31. Instead, the cleaning plates 31 are rotated in the covering shells 32, and multiple cleaning plates 31 are arranged in one covering shell 32, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0052] While the cleaning unit 3 above the cryogenic tube 2 is cleaning the cryogenic tube 2, the cleaning unit 3 below the cryogenic tube 2 is away from the cryogenic tube 2, and the opening of the covering shell 32 in the cleaning unit 3 is shielded by the shielding plate 33. This prevents the water and phosphine removed from the cryogenic tube 2 from falling through the opening into the covering shell 32 below the cryogenic tube 2. Similarly, after the cleaning unit 3 above the cryogenic tube 2 completes cleaning the upper portion of the cryogenic tube 2, the lifting unit 5 drives the cleaning unit 3 upward, allowing the cleaning unit 3 below the cryogenic tube 2 to clean the lower portion of the cryogenic tube 2. While the cleaning unit 3 below the cryogenic tube 2 is cleaning the cryogenic tube 2, the shielding plate 33 in the cleaning unit 3 rotates and withdraws from the opening of the covering shell 32. Subsequently, the cleaning plate 31 in the cleaning unit 3 rotates within the covering shell 32 around the axis of the covering shell 32, and the covering shell 32 rotates around the axis of the tower body 1, thereby completing the cleaning of the cryogenic tube 2.

[0053] This achieves automatic cleaning of the cryogenic tube 2, reducing workload. Furthermore, by providing the outer covering 32 around the cleaning plate 31, it prevents the cleaning plate 31 from being attached to phosphorus when not in the cleaning state, preventing the cleaning plate 31 from slipping while cleaning the cryogenic tube 2, thereby ensuring effective cleaning. It is worth noting that the rotation speed of the cleaning plate 31 within the covering 32 is greater than the rotation speed of the covering 32 around the tower body 1, thus avoiding blind spots when cleaning the cryogenic tube 2.
