Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of separators, in particular to a clean horizontal separator. Background Art

[0002] Cyclone separators (cyclone separators / cyclone dust collectors) are widely used in many industries to separate two or more phase mixtures.

[0003] Both vertical and horizontal sacrons separate gas-solid mixtures using centrifugal and gravity forces. Centrifugal force is generated by the mixture entering the separator's cylindrical shell, which forces the airflow to swirl within the separator, creating a vortex. The inertial centrifugal force generated by the swirling motion of the cyclone propels particles toward the separator walls. In the more common vertical sacron design, the gas-solid mixture moves downward under the influence of gravity, guided by a conical discharge hopper to further accelerate the flow. Near the lower discharge port, the airflow turns upward and exits the separator outlet pipe, achieving gas-solid separation.

[0004] A sacron design is typically customized based on production volume, application, and efficiency. A sacron's separation efficiency is a function of solids density, particle size, and sacron geometry. Separation efficiency is also influenced by factors such as inlet velocity, separator length, number of airflow revolutions, the ratio of separator diameter to outlet pipe diameter, and internal wall smoothness. Separation efficiency can also be improved by improving inlet duct design and disrupting vortexes. Horizontal sacrons are a novel design that reduces the overall height of the sacron, reducing installation space and optimizing access for cleaning and maintenance. However, some current horizontal sacron designs are still difficult to clean and maintain because the separator outlet pipe is difficult to access from inside the separator, where material can easily accumulate. Furthermore, due to their limited dust removal efficiency, horizontal sacrons are typically only used in very limited and specialized situations. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a clean horizontal shaker to solve the problem of difficulty in cleaning and maintenance in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical methods: a clean horizontal shaker, comprising a cylindrical main body, the axis of which is horizontal; an air inlet pipe is installed at the upper end of the cylindrical main body, and a conical discharge hopper is installed at the lower end; a first inspection door is installed on one side of the cylindrical main body, and an air outlet pipe is installed on the other side; a second inspection door is provided on one side of the conical discharge hopper; the connecting line between the cylindrical main body and the conical discharge hopper is located below the axis of the cylindrical main body.

[0007] Furthermore, the first inspection door is connected to the cylindrical main body via a hinge, and the second inspection door is connected to the conical discharge hopper via a hinge; both the first inspection door and the second inspection door are provided with door handles.

[0009] Furthermore, a second inspection door is installed on the side of the conical discharge hopper, and a capacitive material level sensor is also installed. The capacitive material level sensor is located below the second inspection door.

[0010] Furthermore, the air inlet pipe is an outward-rotating involute air inlet pipe, and the air inlet pipe includes a circular pipe, a square-circular pipe and a rectangular pipe that are smoothly connected in sequence; the rectangular pipe is tangent to the cylindrical body.

[0011] Furthermore, the air outlet duct is provided with an air outlet duct flange; the air outlet duct flange is provided with an air outlet duct handle, an air outlet duct ear and a screw hole; the cylindrical body is provided with a stud; the air outlet duct is installed on the cylindrical body through the stud, screw hole and star-shaped handle.

[0012] Furthermore, a flange insert is provided on the inner side of the air outlet duct flange, which protrudes from the inner plane of the air outlet duct flange to form a step-like structure. When the air outlet duct is inserted into the cylindrical body, the flange insert is just embedded in the cylindrical body.

[0013] Furthermore, a sealing ring is clamped between the air outlet duct flange and the cylindrical body.

[0014] Furthermore, an air outlet slot is provided on the side wall of the air outlet pipe.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following examples are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 11 、 Figure 12 、 Figure 13 As shown, a clean horizontal shaker includes an air inlet duct 1, an outward-rotating involute air inlet duct 8, a cylindrical body 2 with its axis oriented horizontally, a conical discharge hopper 3, and a discharge port 4. A first inspection door 5 is provided on one side of the cylindrical body 2, connected to the cylindrical body 2 via a hinge 51. A door handle 52 is provided on the first inspection door 5 for easy access. The conical discharge hopper 3 is equipped with a second inspection door 6, connected to the conical discharge hopper 3 via a hinge. A capacitive level sensor 7 is mounted on the side of the conical discharge hopper 3 to monitor the bottom material level. The air inlet duct 1 consists of three parts: a circular tube 11 and a rectangular tube 13, smoothly connected by a square-jointed circular tube 12. The rectangular tube 13 is tangential to the cylindrical body 2, allowing the incoming air to flow smoothly into the cylindrical body 2. The connecting line between the cylindrical main body 2 and the conical discharge hopper 3 is located below the axis of the cylindrical main body 2 , and the cylindrical main body 2 and the conical discharge hopper 3 are also smoothly connected, thereby minimizing internal turbulence.

[0033] The air outlet duct 8 is located on the cylindrical main body 2, and the air outlet duct 8 and the first inspection door 5 are respectively located on either side of the cylindrical main body 2. The air outlet duct 8 is connected to the cylindrical main body 2 via an air outlet duct flange 81. The air outlet duct flange 81 is equipped with an air outlet duct handle 82 and an air outlet duct lifting lug 83. The air outlet duct handle 82 facilitates the removal and installation of the air outlet duct 8. When the air outlet duct 8 is heavy, the air outlet duct lifting lug 83 facilitates the lifting of the air outlet duct 8. The air outlet duct flange 81 has screw holes 84, and the air outlet duct flange 81 has a flange insert 85 on its inner side. The flange insert 85 protrudes from the inner plane of the air outlet duct flange 81 to form a stepped structure. When the air outlet duct 8 is inserted into the cylindrical main body 2, the flange insert 85 fits neatly into the cylindrical main body 2. The flange insert 85 allows the air outlet duct to be parallel to the axis of the cylindrical main body 2, thereby reducing interference with the airflow. The sidewall of the air outlet duct 8 is provided with an air outlet slot 86, which allows a portion of the airflow to pass through the slot in advance, thereby reducing the velocity and flow rate within the cylindrical body 2. Studs 87 are welded to the surface of the cylindrical body 2 where it contacts the air outlet duct 8. A sealing ring 9 is sandwiched between the air outlet duct flange 81 and the cylindrical body 2. To install the air outlet duct 8, the studs 87 are passed through the screw holes 84, and then the star-shaped handle 88 is tightened to secure the air outlet duct 8 to the cylindrical body 2. The sealing ring 9 ensures a tight seal between the air outlet duct flange 81 and the cylindrical body 2.

[0034] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, this clean horizontal Shaker combines a cylindrical main body 2 with a conical discharge hopper 3 to form a teardrop-shaped main structure, reducing turbulence and enhancing gas-solid separation by optimizing airflow streamlines. The rounded corners and gradient design of the conical discharge hopper 3 improve flow and ensure product quality. The teardrop shape maximizes the trajectory of the mixed flow as it transitions from the cylindrical main body to the conical discharge hopper. The outward-rotating involute inlet enhances the Shaker's separation efficiency, gradually transitioning from a circular inlet to a square tube, maximizing the transition zone for the mixed flow. The inlet design also maximizes the streamline length, slowing the airflow velocity for improved particle separation.

[0035] The Shakron features an integrated removable air duct. Simply unscrew the star-shaped handle to remove the duct from the Shakron. The provided handle and lugs make removal easier and simpler. This access serves as an additional maintenance access after the air outlet is removed. The duct flange is designed with a stepped insert that fits snugly into the flange. Once the flange is fitted to the cylindrical body, the stepped insert slots into the cylindrical body, aligning the duct and cylindrical axis. This minimizes interference with internal airflow and reduces the potential for dust accumulation, ensuring the Shakron's cleanability. Two hinged inspection doors further provide access, their size and location designed for convenient inspection of the Shakron's interior.

[0036] This horizontal Shaker features a single, solid main shell that smoothly transitions from a circular inlet tube to a squared-off tube, which then sweeps into the Shaker's cylindrical main body in an involute pattern, ultimately transitioning to a tapered discharge hopper through an optimally curved teardrop design. The transitional involute inlet duct smoothly integrates with the cylindrical main body, effectively dispersing the gas-solid mixture and extending the inlet duct's curve length, thereby providing enhanced gas-solid separation. A removable air outlet allows for complete and convenient access to the Shaker's outlet for cleaning and maintenance, including the outlet duct itself, simply by loosening the star-shaped handle and removing the duct. Slots in the outlet duct allow for a portion of air to be separated early in the gas-solid separation process, reducing the air velocity and flow rate within the Shaker's main body, thereby improving the Shaker's separation efficiency.

[0037] The above is a detailed introduction to the present application. Specific examples are used in the present invention to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the methods and core ideas of the present application. There may be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. In summary, this description should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.
