Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of material pulverization and drying technology, specifically to a slurry steam flow pulverizer and dryer. Background Technology

[0002] Air jet milling utilizes the energy of compressed air or superheated steam to cause materials to impact, collide, and rub against each other, achieving ultrafine grinding. Its products are widely used in industries such as chemicals, ceramics, coatings, electronic materials, and pharmaceuticals. Currently, the main type of air jet milling equipment on the market is the fluidized bed air jet mill. This type has several nozzles arranged in two or three dimensions inside the mill's main casing. The airflow is accelerated through the nozzles, carrying the material to a single point. The material collides and rubs against each other at high speed, achieving grinding. The airflow expands, causing the material to suspend in a fluidized bed, where grinding occurs through collisions and friction. However, this type of particle-to-particle collision grinding has low grinding force and poor grinding effect.

[0003] Later, target-type fluidized bed air jet mills emerged, such as the air jet mill disclosed in patent document CN2751891Y. In this type, air jets ejected from nozzles propel material floating in the casing towards a target, where the collision between the target and the material achieves the purpose of pulverization. However, this type of air jet mill still has significant shortcomings:

[0004] First, the grinding efficiency of steam jet mills for micron-level materials is lower than that of wet grinding in sand (bead) mills. If wet-ground materials need to be dried into powder before entering the steam jet mill, this increases the energy consumption for drying. If dry-ground materials are fed into the steam jet mill, the materials still have a high moisture content, i.e., they are in a wet powder state. The materials are damp before grinding and will stick together, making them unable to be attracted by the airflow to impact the target plate. Therefore, the materials must be dried before impact grinding. Although they are in a dry state after grinding, the role of steam is only to provide potential energy; the heat is not used for drying. Therefore, the energy consumption and cost of material grinding and drying in steam jet mills are high.

[0005] Secondly, in a steam mill, the material being pulverized is stationary before entering the supersonic nozzle. It needs to be drawn in by the back pressure of the nozzle and accelerated by the steam flow. Its speed and potential energy are lower than those of the steam flow, and the flow rate of the steam flow is also significantly reduced. When the material is placed in the casing, it is driven by the steam flow to impact the target, thus greatly reducing the force of the impact.

[0006] Third, the nozzles of existing air jet mills are arranged in a horizontal straight line. Due to the space limitation of the flat plate on which the nozzles are installed, it is difficult to make the mill large-scale and the grinding scale is limited.

[0007] Fourth, the materials in existing steam flow mills either collide with materials of the same hardness or with a stationary target, and the impact speed and intensity are limited.

[0008] Fifth, existing steam flow mills all have separate classifying wheels for the powder inside the machine chamber, and the bearings of the classifiers are mostly placed in high-temperature and harsh environments with the powder, resulting in a very short service life for the bearings. Summary of the Invention

[0048] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0049] The slurry steam jet pulverizer and dryer of this embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the system includes a slurry storage tank 91, a heater 10, an air mill 01, and a dryer / collector 02 connected sequentially from left to right. The slurry storage tank 91 is used to store wet mud material. The slurry storage tank 91 is connected to a slurry inlet pump 92 and a slurry inlet pipe 93. The slurry inlet pump 92 is preferably a plunger pump. The slurry inlet pump 92 is connected to the inlet of the slurry storage tank 91 and the heater 10 through the slurry inlet pipe 93 to transport the slurry material in the slurry storage tank 91 into the heater 10 for heating. The solid content of the slurry can be from 5% to 85%, preferably from 50% to 70%.

[0050] The heater 10 includes an upper tube box 101, an upper tube sheet 102, a heat exchange cylinder 103, multiple heat exchange tubes 104, a lower tube sheet 105, and a lower tube box 106. The upper tube sheet 102 and the lower tube sheet 105 are respectively fixed to the two ends of the heat exchange cylinder 103, thereby forming a shell-side space. The upper tube box 101 is fixed to the upper tube sheet 102, and the two together form the upper tube-side space. The slurry inlet pipe 93 connects to the upper tube-side space. The lower tube box 106 is fixed to the lower tube sheet 105, and the two together form the lower tube-side space. Multiple heat exchange tubes 104 are arranged side by side in the shell-side space, and the two ends of the multiple heat exchange tubes 104 are respectively fixed to the upper tube sheet 102 and the lower tube sheet 105, and respectively connected to the upper tube-side space and the lower tube-side space. The heat exchanger shell 103 is equipped with a heating mechanism 03 for circulating hot air into the shell-side space. The heating mechanism 03 includes a burner 031, a hot air furnace 032, and an induced draft fan 033. The burner 031 and the hot air furnace 032 are connected to the inlet at the bottom of the heat exchanger shell 103. Under the action of the induced draft fan 033 at the outlet at the top of the heat exchanger shell 103, the hot air generated by the combustion furnace is passed through the shell-side space to heat the heat exchange tubes 104. In practice, the heating mechanism 03 can also be replaced with a mechanism for circulating steam or heat transfer oil into the shell-side space, which can also serve the purpose of heating the heat exchange tubes 104. During use, the feed pump 92 transports the material in the storage tank 91 to the heater 10, and outputs it sequentially through the upper tube space, heat exchange tube 104, and lower tube space of the heater 10. In this way, the material is heated to 150-500°C by the tube wall of the heat exchange tube 104, preferably in the low temperature range of 150-300°C. The moisture in the material evaporates into steam, and the material particles are mixed in the steam to form a fluid output.

[0051] In this embodiment, the air mill 01 includes a housing 1, a main shaft 2, a rotating target 3, multiple Laval nozzles 4, a classifying screen 5, and a first drive mechanism 6 for driving the main shaft 2 to rotate. The main shaft 2 is rotatably and longitudinally arranged inside the housing 1, and passes through the center of the fixed rotating target 3 and the classifying screen 5. The classifying screen 5 is located above the rotating target 3. The multiple Laval nozzles 4 are arranged around the periphery of the rotating target 3, and each Laval nozzle 4 is connected to the lower tube space outlet of the heater 10 via a high-pressure steam pipe 41. A discharge port 11 is provided at the top position above the classifying screen 5. The discharge port 11 is connected to a drying and collecting machine 02 via a discharge pipe 12. The drying and collecting machine 02 is provided with an exhaust mechanism for drawing air from the discharge pipe 12. The drying and collecting machine 02 can be a bag filter dust collector of the prior art.

[0052] During operation, after the material is heated by the heater 10, the mixture of steam and material particles is transported to each Laval nozzle 4 via the high-pressure steam pipe 41. The Laval nozzle 4 sprays the material at supersonic speed onto the rotating target 3. The material impacts and collides with the rotating target 3, crushing it. Fine particles float upwards with the steam, pass through the grading screen 5, and flow into the dryer / collector 02 for drying and recycling. Coarser particles fall to the bottom of the casing 1. Thus, after heating, the particles in the material are accelerated by the nozzles and collide with the rotating target 3. All the work done during this collision occurs at the highest speed after spraying, resulting in a high impact force and high crushing efficiency due to the rigid collision with the rotating target 3. This is even more efficient than the elastic collision between traditional sprayed particles and suspended particles. To balance the air pressure inside the casing 1, air inlets 13 are provided on the side wall of the casing 1.

[0053] In this embodiment, the rotating target 3 has teeth 31 on its circumference. The Laval nozzle 4 is arranged at an angle relative to the radial direction of the rotating target 3 and is arranged to oppose the direction of rotation of the rotating target 3. In this way, the collision velocity of the material with the rotating target 3 is approximately equal to the spray velocity of the Laval nozzle 4 plus the circumferential velocity of the rotating target 3, resulting in a large impact force and higher crushing efficiency. It should be noted that the Laval nozzle 4 is existing technology, which can change the velocity of the fluid due to the change in the spray cross-sectional area, allowing the fluid to accelerate from subsonic to sonic speeds, and even to transonic speeds. Therefore, this type of horn-shaped nozzle is called a transonic nozzle.

[0054] In this embodiment, the grading screen 5 includes a support block 51 and multiple screen bars 52 arranged circumferentially around the support block 51. The main shaft 2 passes through and is fixed to the support block 51. The casing 1 is cylindrical, and multiple Laval nozzles 4 are arranged circumferentially on the side wall of the casing 1. The ends of the multiple screen bars 52 of the grading screen 5 extend to near the inner wall of the casing 1. A baffle plate 14 is provided on the inner wall of the casing 1 above the grading screen 5, and the length of the baffle plate 14 is greater than the distance between the screen bars 52 and the inner wall of the casing 1. The purpose is to block medium-sized particles by the screen bars 52 of the grading screen 5 and allow them to fall along the inner wall of the casing 1 under centrifugal force. When they fall to the Laval nozzles 4, they are impacted again by the ejected fluid and strike the rotating target 3 for secondary crushing. Some coarser particles that are not impacted by the nozzles for secondary crushing fall to the bottom of the casing 1 and are lifted back for tertiary crushing, which will be described in detail later. As can be seen from the above, in practice, particle size (particle coarseness level) can be controlled by adjusting the rotation speed of the main shaft 2, the number and diameter of the screen bars 52, or the suction force of the discharge pipe 12. The higher the rotation speed of the main shaft 2, the greater the crushing impact force, the higher the degree of crushing, and the greater the degree of material crushing. At the same time, the higher the rotation speed of the grading screen 5, the higher the efficiency of particle blocking, and the smaller particles can also be returned for secondary crushing to achieve the nanoscale crushing requirement. The greater the suction force, the more coarser particles will also be attracted up. Therefore, controlling the wind force can prevent particles that have not yet reached the required size from being sucked up.

[0055] In this embodiment, the housing 1 has an internal shaft support assembly for supporting the spindle 2. The shaft support assembly includes a bracket 71, a bearing seat 72, and a bearing 73. The bracket 71 is fixed to the housing 1, the bearing seat 72 is fixed to the bracket 71, the spindle 2 passes through the bearing seat 72, and the bearing 73 is installed inside the bearing seat 72 and holds the spindle 2 in place. The bracket 71 is a partition plate that divides the internal space of the housing 1 into upper and lower layers. A reinforcing rib 74 is provided between the bracket 71 and the housing 1, and the spindle 2 passes under the bracket 71. The first drive mechanism 6 includes a main motor 61, a drive wheel 62, a driven wheel 63, and a transmission belt 64. The drive wheel 62 is fixed to the output shaft of the main motor 61, and the driven wheel 63 is fixed to the lower end of the spindle 2. The drive wheel 62 and the driven wheel 63 are connected by the transmission belt 64. The bearing housing 72 includes a housing body 721, an upper cover 722, and a lower cover 723. The bearing 73 is fitted into the housing body 721. The upper cover 721 and the lower cover 722 are respectively fixed to the two ends of the housing body 721. The housing body 721 is provided with a lubricating oil passage 7211. The upper cover is provided with an oil inlet pipe that connects to one end of the lubricating oil passage 7211, and the lower cover 722 is provided with an oil outlet pipe that connects to the other end of the lubricating oil passage 7211, so that hot oil can flow in the lubricating oil passage 7211 to lubricate the rotation of the spindle 2.

[0056] In this embodiment, the support 71 is arranged obliquely inside the housing 1, so that the coarser particles mentioned above are concentrated at the lower position of the support 71. A coarse particle outlet 15 is provided on the inner wall of the housing 1 near the lower position of the support 71. A coarse particle return mechanism is also provided on the side of the housing 1. The coarse particle return mechanism is connected to the coarse particle outlet 15 to transport the coarse particles to the Laval nozzle 4. Of course, in practice, it can be changed to transport the coarse particles back to the heating furnace for reheating and then spraying impact. The coarse particle return mechanism includes a screw feeder 81, a bucket elevator 82, and a return hopper 83. The screw feeder 81 is connected to the coarse particle outlet 15 on the side wall of the housing 1. The two ends of the bucket elevator 82 are respectively connected to the screw feeder 81 and the return hopper 83. The return hopper 83 is annular and is wrapped around the outer side of the upper end of the housing 1. The bottom of the return hopper 83 is provided with multiple return ports connected to multiple Laval nozzles 4. The return ports are provided with return valves 84. The screw feeder 81 and bucket elevator 82 are existing equipment, and their internal structures will not be described in detail here. The coarser particles are lifted to the return hopper 83 by the screw feeder 81 and bucket elevator 82, and the coarse particles are introduced into the Laval nozzle 4 for re-jetting and crushing, thus achieving triple crushing.

[0057] In this embodiment, if a large number of coarse particles fall to the bottom of the casing 1, the material in the return hopper 83 will be concentrated at the corresponding bucket elevator 82, resulting in uneven distribution of coarse particles returning to each Laval nozzle 4. To solve this problem, this embodiment provides a scraping assembly at the return hopper 83. The scraping assembly includes a support frame 85, multiple scraper blades 86, a guide wheel 87, and a second drive mechanism. The support frame 85 can rotate around the outside of the casing 1, and the multiple scraper blades 86 are installed on the support frame 85 and embedded in the return hopper 83. A guide ring 16 is provided on the outside of the casing 1, and the guide wheel 87 is installed on the support frame 85 and rolls in cooperation with the guide ring 16. The second drive mechanism includes a scraping motor 88 and a transmission gear 89. The scraping motor 88 drives the support frame 85 to rotate through the transmission gear 89. Under the action of the scraper blades 86, the coarse particles in the return hopper 83 are scraped laterally to achieve the effect of uniform material distribution in a circumferential direction.
