Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of dehumidifying wheels, and particularly to a silica gel wheel with a variable dehumidification area. Background Art

[0002] Dehumidifying wheels are mainly used to dry gases such as air in industrial or commercial applications that require low humidity. Inside the dehumidification section of the dehumidifying wheel, a sealing system divides it into a treatment area and a regeneration area. The dehumidifying wheel rotates slowly at a speed of 8 - 10 revolutions per hour to ensure that the entire dehumidification process is continuous. When the treated air passes through the treatment area of the wheel, the water vapor in it is adsorbed by the moisture-absorbing medium in the wheel. At the same time, the water vapor undergoes a phase change and releases latent heat. The wheel gradually tends to be saturated due to absorbing a certain amount of moisture. At this time, the treated air becomes dry and hot air due to the reduction of its own moisture and the release of latent heat. At the same time, in the regeneration area, another stream of air first passes through a regeneration heater and then becomes high-temperature air (generally 100 - 140 °C) and passes through the saturated wheel after absorbing moisture, causing the adsorbed moisture in the wheel to evaporate, thereby restoring the dehumidification ability of the wheel. At the same time, the regeneration air becomes wet air due to the evaporation of moisture. However, the wet air is then discharged outdoors through a regeneration fan.

[0003] The dehumidification performance of the dehumidifying wheel mainly depends on the moisture-absorbing performance of the moisture-absorbing material and the amount of the moisture absorbent attached to the wheel. Currently, the commonly used moisture absorbents for dehumidifying wheels include silica gel, lithium chloride, and molecular sieve. Among them, the dehumidifying wheel with silica gel as the moisture absorbent has a high cost performance and a wide application range, but its moisture-absorbing performance needs to be improved, and the regeneration temperature is relatively high, generally 140 °C, which is inconvenient to use. At the same time, the regeneration efficiency and effect need to be enhanced. Summary of the Invention

[0040] In order to make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments. Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to fully understand the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein.

Therefore, the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0041] In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "a plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0042] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified or limited, terms such as "installed", "connected", "joined", "fixed", etc. shall be construed broadly. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it may be the internal communication of two components or the interaction relationship between two components, unless otherwise clearly limited. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0043] In the invention, unless otherwise clearly specified or limited, the first feature being "on" or "under" the second feature may be that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are indirectly in contact through an intermediate medium. Moreover, the first feature being "above", "over" and "on top of" the second feature may mean that the first feature is directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or merely indicates that the first feature has a higher horizontal height than the second feature. The first feature being "under", "beneath" and "underneath" the second feature may be that the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or merely indicates that the first feature has a lower horizontal height than the second feature.

[0044] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may also be an intermediate element. When an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time.

[0045] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0046] As Figures 1 to 2 shown, this example provides a silica gel rotary wheel with a variable dehumidification zone. The silica gel rotary wheel includes: a wheel shaft 14, a wheel body 11, and a dehumidification component disposed between the wheel shaft 14 and the wheel body 11. The raw material of the dehumidification component includes silica gel, wherein: the dehumidification component includes a moisture absorption wheel 21 and a moisture absorption ring 22; the silica gel rotary wheel further includes a plurality of support columns 12 and an adjustment ring 13 that are arranged at equal intervals around the wheel shaft 14. One end of the support column 12 is connected to the outer wall of the wheel shaft 14, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the wheel body 11. The support columns 12 respectively pass through the moisture absorption wheel 21 and the moisture absorption ring 22; the extending direction of the support column 12 is perpendicular to the extending direction of the wheel shaft 14; the adjustment ring 13 is slidably disposed on each support column 12 and can expand or contract during the sliding process; the wheel shaft 14, the moisture absorption wheel 21, the adjustment ring 13, the moisture absorption ring 22, and the wheel body 11 are arranged in sequence from the inside to the outside.

[0047] The above-mentioned dehumidifying component is set to include a moisture absorption wheel 21 and a moisture absorption ring 22, and an adjusting ring 13 that can be slidably arranged is also set. Through the setting of the adjusting ring 13, the densities of the moisture absorption wheel 21 and the moisture absorption ring 22 can be made different, so as to achieve different moisture absorption and regeneration effects. Specifically, the moisture absorption wheel 21 or the moisture absorption ring 22 can be compressed by moving the adjusting ring 13, and then the other one can be released to obtain the effect of fine density adjustment, increasing the adjustability of the moisture absorption and regeneration effects of the entire rotating wheel; at the same time, the adjusting ring 13 can also be quickly reciprocated to drive the moisture absorption wheel 21 and the moisture absorption ring 22 to vibrate, so as to clean the pores inside the rotating wheel and obtain a self-cleaning effect.

[0048] In this example, as Figure 2 shown, the adjusting ring 13 includes a plurality of adjusting ring segments 131 and a plurality of telescopic sleeves 132. The adjusting ring segments 131 are slidably arranged on the support columns 12, and two adjacent adjusting ring segments 131 are connected by telescopic sleeves 132. The telescopic sleeves 132 are located between two adjacent support columns 12. The plurality of adjusting ring segments 131 and the plurality of telescopic sleeves 132 are enclosed and connected to form the adjusting ring 13. During the process of the adjusting ring 13 sliding on the support columns 12 along the extending direction of the support columns 12, relative displacement occurs between the adjusting ring segments 131 and the telescopic sleeves 132 to realize the overall expansion or contraction. The adjusting ring segments 131 and the telescopic sleeves 132 can relatively slide, and this way can maintain excellent self-sealing performance and long service life.

[0049] In practical applications, the silica gel rotating wheel further includes a driving mechanism for driving the adjusting ring 13 to move and expand or contract. Through this driving mechanism, the automatic and expected movement of the adjusting ring 13, even reciprocating vibration, can be realized.

[0050] Specifically, the driving mechanism includes a plurality of driving parts (not shown, for example, components such as cylinders or motors, etc.). Each driving part corresponds to an adjusting ring segment 131. The driving part is in transmission connection with the adjusting ring segment 131 and drives the adjusting ring segment 131 to move, so as to drive the adjusting ring 13 to move. Further, the driving parts can be arranged in the following two ways: The first way: The support column 12 is a hollow structure and has pores extending along its own extending direction on both sides. The driving part is arranged in the hollow structure of the support column 12 and passes through the pores to be in transmission connection with the adjusting ring segment 131; The second way: The driving part is arranged outside the wheel body 11; The driving part sequentially passes through the wheel body 11, the moisture absorption ring 22 and the adjusting ring segment 131 to be in transmission connection, or the driving part is in transmission connection with the adjusting ring segment 131 from the outside of the moisture absorption ring 22.

[0051] In this example, the density of the moisture absorption wheel 21 and the density of the moisture absorption ring 22 can be different, achieving a differential density setting. This difference can be present from the initial preparation or can be manifested as different after adjustment by the adjustment ring 13. In a specific case, the density of the moisture absorption ring 22 can be set to 1.5 - 2 times the density of the moisture absorption wheel 21.

[0052] In this example, the moisture absorption wheel 21 and the moisture absorption ring 22 respectively have a honeycomb structure. This structure can provide more pores to obtain a better moisture absorption effect, and this structure is also convenient for regeneration.

[0053] In this example, the silica gel runner further includes a plurality of photosensors regularly arranged along the length direction of the support column 12 and used to monitor the moisture absorption wheel and / or the moisture absorption ring. The plurality of photosensors have the same orientation, and their orientation is parallel to the axial direction of the wheel body. It should be realized that the setting of the photosensors can accurately monitor the honeycomb density of the runner.

[0054] Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, the extension lines of the wheel shaft 14 respectively coincide with the center lines of the moisture absorption wheel 21, the moisture absorption ring 22, the adjustment ring 13, and the wheel body 11.

[0055] As Figure 3 shown, it shows the approximate preparation process of the moisture absorption wheel 21 or the moisture absorption ring 22. Specifically, the preparation method of the moisture absorption wheel 21 or the moisture absorption ring 22 can include the following steps:

[0056] (1) Add a silicate solution, polyvinyl alcohol, modified polyacrylonitrile, and vinyl chloride to the base paper, mix and stir to obtain a paper fiber solution, and then mix in an acid solution to obtain a fibrous solution;

[0057] (2) Pour the fibrous solution into a mold and prepare it layer by layer into a rough product;

[0058] (3) After hot processing the rough product, cool it down and immerse it in a lithium chloride solution until it is shaped;

[0061] In step (2), the mold is a layered shaping mold, specifically it can be a layered wheel body shaping mold or a layered ring body shaping mold.
