[0002] Most existing container composite floor panels are made of bamboo and wood composite panels, and their production is basically carried out using a hot pressing process. Hot pressing machines are typically used for hot pressing of container composite floor panels. However, existing hot presses use hot water or steam, which passes through the hot platen of the press before exiting. This method has low thermal efficiency and high energy consumption. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention proposes a saturated water heat recovery system for heating the bottom plate of a container, which solves the problems of low thermal energy utilization and high energy consumption of existing hot presses.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0005] A saturated water heat recovery system for heating the bottom plate of a container includes a hot press, a heat recovery tank, and a cooling water pool. The hot press has an inlet pipe and a steam inlet pipe connected to its inlet, and an outlet pipe and a steam outlet pipe connected to its outlet. The heat recovery tank's inlet is connected to the hot press's outlet via a first circulating water pipe, which is equipped with a first control valve. The heat recovery tank's outlet is connected to the hot press's inlet via a second circulating water pipe, which is equipped with a first filter, a first water pump, a second control valve, and a first check valve. The cooling water pool's inlet is connected to the hot press's outlet via a first cooling water pipe, which is equipped with a third control valve. The cooling water pool's outlet is connected to the hot press's inlet via a second cooling water pipe, which is equipped with a second filter, a second water pump, a fourth control valve, and a second check valve. The inlet pipe is equipped with a fifth control valve and a third check valve. The steam inlet pipe is equipped with a sixth control valve, the outlet pipe with a seventh control valve, and the steam outlet pipe with an eighth control valve.

[0006] Preferably, the first control valve includes a first shut-off valve and a first disc valve connected in series; the second control valve includes a second shut-off valve and a second disc valve connected in series; the third control valve includes a third shut-off valve, a third disc valve and a third main shut-off valve, wherein the third shut-off valve and the third disc valve are first connected in parallel and then connected in series with the third main shut-off valve; and the fourth control valve includes a fourth shut-off valve and a fourth disc valve connected in series.

[0007] Preferably, the fifth control valve includes a fifth shut-off valve and a fifth disc valve connected in series; the sixth control valve includes a sixth shut-off valve; the seventh control valve includes a seventh shut-off valve and a seventh disc valve connected in series; and the eighth control valve includes an eighth shut-off valve and an eighth disc valve connected in series.

[0008] Preferably, a first temperature sensor is connected to both the inlet and outlet of the hot press.

[0009] Preferably, a plurality of second temperature sensors are installed on the hot platen of the hot press.

[0010] Preferably, a third temperature sensor is provided inside the heat recovery tank and / or at the outlet of the heat recovery tank.

[0011] Preferably, a liquid level sensor is installed on the heat recovery tank.

[0013] Preferably, both the first water pump and the third water pump are high-temperature hot water pumps, and both the first filter and the third filter are high-temperature filters.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: During operation, preheating is performed first. Hot water from the heat recovery tank enters the hot platen of the hot press through the second circulating water pipe for preheating, raising the temperature of the hot platen by 30-40 degrees Celsius from its base temperature. Then, the first cooling water pipe is opened, guiding the water from the hot press into the cooling water pool (if the temperature is still too high, it can also return to the heat recovery tank through the first circulating water pipe for reuse). Next, heating is performed. Hot saturated water enters the hot platen of the hot press through the inlet pipe for heating. After reaching the desired temperature, it is kept at that temperature. The saturated water from the hot press is then guided back into the hot platen through the first circulating water pipe. The water is preheated and then reused in the heat recovery tank. Finally, after the container composite floor in the hot press is heated, the second cooling water pipe is opened, and water from the cooling water tank enters the hot plate of the hot press through the second cooling water pipe for cooling. The water from the hot press returns to the cooling water tank through the first cooling water pipe (if the temperature is detected to be too high, it can also be sent to the heat recovery tank for reuse through the first circulating water pipe). After cooling, a new container composite floor is heated for the next cycle. This invention allows for multiple uses of saturated water, fully utilizing heat energy and saving energy and protecting the environment. Furthermore, this invention retains steam inlet and steam outlet pipes, allowing for steam heating. When using steam for heating, steam enters the hot plate of the hot press through the steam inlet pipe and exits through the steam outlet pipe, with the condensate being directed to the cooling water tank.
