[0035] Embodiment 1

[0036] This embodiment provides a multi-stage air supply device, such as Figure 1As shown in the figure, it includes a blower unit, a first stepped static pressure box 2, a supply air temperature and humidity detector 5, a pressurizing fan 6, several second stepped static pressure boxes 3, and an outlet duct 8. The main supply air duct 4 is connected to the blower unit. In this embodiment, the blower unit is an air conditioning unit 1, which is suitable for modulating the outlet air with appropriate temperature and humidity. And in this embodiment, the air conditioning unit 1 does not have a return air structure, and the inlet air adopts 100% fresh air, reducing the problem of the occupied space of the return air structure. A supply air temperature and humidity detector 5 is provided on the main supply air duct 4 to detect the outlet air modulated by the air conditioning unit. A control valve 9 is also installed on the main supply air duct 4 to control the overall air volume. The first stepped static pressure box 2 is connected to the main supply air duct 4 through a first connecting pipe 41. According to the specific use environment, multiple first connecting pipes 41 can be connected to the main supply air duct 4, and multiple first stepped static pressure boxes 2 can be correspondingly provided. Multiple pressurizing fans 6 are arranged in parallel on the first connecting pipe 41 to increase the supply air pressure through the pressurizing fans 6, so as to transport the modulated air conditioning air to the distal outlet duct 8. A number of first connection ports 21 with different diameters and different opening shapes are provided on the first stepped static pressure box 2. Correspondingly, the supply air branch ducts 7 connected to the first stepped static pressure box 2 have pipe types matching the first connection ports 21, such as Figure 2 as shown in the figure, for example, circular pipes, elliptical pipes or square pipes, etc. Multiple second connecting pipes 71 can be connected to any one supply air branch duct 7, and second stepped static pressure boxes 3 are provided corresponding to the second connecting pipes 71 one by one. The second stepped static pressure boxes 3 are correspondingly arranged above the conveying equipment of the material. One end of the outlet duct 8 is closed, and the other end is connected to the second connection port 31 of the second stepped static pressure box 3. The second connection port 31 can also be set to have different diameters and different opening shapes. The corresponding outlet duct 8 is provided with a pipe type of the same diameter and shape, depending on the specific use environment, such as Figure 1 as shown in the figure, the outlet duct 8 is arranged parallel to the traveling path of the material above the conveying equipment, so that the material can receive the modulated air with the same temperature and humidity and the same air volume at any position during the conveying process. The outlet air of the outlet duct 8 and the edge of the conveying equipment enclose a temperature and humidity control area, such as Figure 3 as shown in the figure, the outlet duct 8 is arranged directly above the conveying equipment. The outlet openings 81 are arranged in multiple rows and distributed on the arc surface of the outlet duct 8 facing the material. The outlet air of the outlet duct 8 and the edge of the conveying equipment enclose a temperature and humidity control area with a trapezoidal cross-section. Such as Figure 4 as shown in the figure, the outlet duct 8 is arranged obliquely above the conveying equipment. At this time, the outlet air of the outlet duct 8 and the edge of the conveying equipment enclose a temperature and humidity control area with a triangular cross-section. In this embodiment, the outlet openings 81 are slit outlets or mesh slit outlets. A working condition temperature and humidity detector 10 is provided on the side wall of each second stepped static pressure box 3 to facilitate real-time detection of the temperature and humidity values in the corresponding temperature and humidity control area.

[0037] The main air supply pipe 4, the first connecting pipe 41, the air supply branch pipe 7, the second connecting pipe 71 and the air outlet pipe 8 are all made of fiber materials, which can effectively prevent the internal condensation or external condensation of the air conditioner air and can be directly cleaned with water.

[0038] The air blowing device (not shown in the figure) is arranged above or above the side of the multi-stage air supply device, and can be telescoped and slid, and is used to clean the dust on the air supply device. The air blowing device is a combination of a conventional air compressor and an air duct, and is configured as required. When the equipment installation space is limited or in elevated transportation, the surface cleaning and maintenance of various devices.

[0039] For example, due to the need for technological transformation in the factory due to the optimization of the process flow, and the production does not stop at the same time. It is necessary to build a new raw material processing workshop on the basis of the original three workshops of the raw material processing workshop, the packaging workshop, and the expansion processing workshop. After reaching production, the packaging workshop will be moved to the original raw material processing workshop. During the switching period between the old and new lines, it is necessary to build a temporary conveyor line that crosses three zones, with a length of 200 meters and a usage period of two years. And the pipelines in each workshop are densely arranged, and there are two overhead corridors between the workshops. It is required to ensure that the material temperature and moisture content during the transportation process meet the process requirements. At the same time, because the temporary conveyor line will be discarded after the technological transformation, it is required that the construction and use costs are relatively low.

[0040] Adopting this solution, using the original air conditioner unit with a capacity of 60,000 cubic meters per hour, closing its return air pipeline and sending air at the lowest fan drive frequency, setting two groups of pressurized fans 6, one group of pressurized fans 6 planar controls two corridors and three conveying devices located in the expansion workshop, with a total length of about 100 meters. Among them, inside the two corridors in contact with the outside world, the air supply volume of the end air outlet pipe 8 is set at 1.5-2 times that of other control sections; the other group of pressurized fans 6 is placed above the interlayer of the original material processing workshop, and a first-stage variable diameter static pressure box 2 is set. Above, it is connected to the main air supply pipe 4 through the first connecting pipe 41 with variable diameter to penetrate the complex pipeline layout. Below, it passes through the air supply branch pipe 7 and the second connecting pipe 71 to penetrate the interlayer and narrow space, and pressurizes and sends air downward. When necessary, the first-stage variable diameter static pressure box 2 changes the diameter continuously for many times to reach the end air outlet structure, and controls the air pressure and air volume of the conveying environment temperature and humidity control area of four conveying devices with a total length of about 100 meters. At appropriate positions in the interlayer and narrow space, install a retractable air compressor air blowing device for the cleaning and maintenance of the system.

[0041] In terms of temperature and humidity control parameters, use the working condition temperature and humidity detectors located in the two corridor sections as the main control monitoring points, and feed back the monitoring data to the air conditioner unit and adjust the parameters of the air supply temperature and humidity detectors; the working condition air supply volume of the system ≤ 15,000 cubic meters per hour.

[0042] The above technical solutions have achieved the technological goals, cost control goals, and production process management goals well. After the end of the technological transformation transition period, the end air outlet duct 8, the pressurized fan 6, and some of the air ducts can be reused for other factory building projects or process requirements.

[0043] For another example, due to the layout restrictions of the process flow in the factory, a kind of raw material after expansion treatment has a small density, is easy to fly, is easy to absorb moisture and odors. The process flow requires that its conveying process after processing is overhead and crosses the entire workshop for 60 meters. There are large wet sources and heat sources of other process devices distributed below the conveying channel, and there is also an odor source of about 20 meters for employees to take baths and change clothes, an open workshop logistics pedestrian passage of about 15 meters, and construction requirements including climbing upstairs and passing through the mezzanine. The total length of the conveying line exceeds 250 meters. The conventional process design uses the pneumatic conveying method, which is difficult to implement due to reasons such as large air pressure loss due to the long distance, inability to guarantee the material temperature and moisture content, and large losses and consumptions.

[0044] With the adoption of this technical solution, air is drawn from the storage room with temperature and humidity control functions at the end of the conveying section and led to three groups of pressurized fans 6 arranged in parallel over a long distance. Among them, independent end air outlet ducts 8 are provided for the overhead crossing of the heat source section, the odor section, and the open channel section, and the air supply volume is set at 2.5 - 3 times that of other control sections; the climbing angle of the conveying device, passing through the mezzanine, etc. are realized through the combined design of the first-stage reduced-diameter static pressure box 2, the main air supply pipe 4, the second-stage reduced-diameter static pressure box 3, and the air supply branch pipe 7; the end air outlet duct 8 preferably adopts a layout directly above the conveying device to form a shielding air jet at the outer edge of the local environmental temperature and humidity control area, and the wind speed is strictly limited to less than 0.5 m / s to avoid light materials being blown away and increasing environmental dust and material consumption; in the overhead crossing heat source section where the aerial platform vehicle cannot enter, and at appropriate positions in the narrow and small mezzanine space where it is difficult for personnel to enter and exit, a retractable air compressor cleaning device is installed, and combined with conventional video monitoring equipment, it is convenient to carry out the cleaning and maintenance of the system.

[0045] Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples given for clear illustration and are not limitations on the implementation manners. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation manners here. And the obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
