[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1It is a structural diagram of an embodiment of a belt-type vacuum pulsating drying device of the present invention. The present invention provides a belt-type vacuum pulsating drying device, comprising: a belt-type vacuum dryer 10, a steam compressor unit 20, a high-temperature heat pump unit 30 and a vacuum unit 40. A heating zone 130 is provided in the belt-type vacuum dryer 10. The outlet of the belt-type vacuum dryer 10 is connected to the first outlet of the four-way reversing valve 120.

The belt-type vacuum pulsation drying device has two operating modes.

The second consists of a belt-type vacuum dryer 10, a steam compressor unit 20, and a hot water circulation system 50.

[0036] In the first operating mode, the high-temperature heat pump unit 30 includes a working fluid evaporator 310 connected to the second outlet of the four-way reversing valve 120, a working fluid compressor 320 connected to the working fluid evaporator 310, and a working fluid condenser 330 connected to the working fluid compressor 320.

The unit also includes a throttle valve 340, with both ends of the throttle valve 340 connected to the working fluid condenser 330 and the working fluid evaporator 310, respectively.

Furthermore, the steam condenser 230 is located in the heat source hot water tank 510.

[0038] In addition, the heat source hot water tank 510 further includes a supplementary heater 520 for heating the water in the heat source hot water tank 510 .

[0039] The belt vacuum dryer 10 is equipped with a conveyor belt mechanism 140. The heating zone 130 includes a first heating zone 1310, a second heating zone 1320, and a third heating zone 1330 arranged in sequence along the conveyor belt mechanism 140. A high-temperature hot water delivery pipe 1340 is connected below the first heating zone 1310. This pipe is equipped with a heating valve 1350. The hot water circulation system 50 is connected to the second heating zone 1320 and the third heating zone 1330, respectively. The high-temperature hot water delivery pipe 1340 delivers a high-temperature fluid, which can be hot water or saturated steam. The high-temperature fluid enters the first heating plate 150, where it is heated, thereby drying the material above the first heating plate 150. The first heating plate 150 is used to provide heat to heat the material.

[0040] The hot water circulation system 50 includes a first pipe 530, a hot water circulation pump 540 disposed on the first pipe 530, a first three-way valve 570, and a second three-way valve 580.

The third outlet of the first three-way valve 570 is connected to the first pipe 530, and the third outlet of the second three-way valve 580 is connected to the heat source hot water tank 510. It is understood that the system also includes a fourth pipe 590, one end of which is connected to the second three-way valve 580 and the other end is connected to the heat source hot water tank 510. In this arrangement, the first tube body 530 and the fourth tube body 590 connected to the heat source hot water tank 510, and the second tube body 550 and the feedback tube 560 connected to the first tube body 530 can form a heat cycle, thereby ensuring that the heat generated by the hot water is always in a circulating state, which can greatly reduce the consumption of the heat source and thereby improve the utilization rate of energy.

[0041] The conveyor mechanism 140 also includes a cooling zone 1360 near the third heating zone 1330.

[0042] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , for the first operation mode, as follows:

[0043] During operation of the belt vacuum pulsation drying device, moisture from the material within the belt vacuum dryer 10 evaporates at low temperatures under a vacuum environment. The first drying method corresponds to a cyclical drying pressure within the belt vacuum dryer 10, with a low pressure of 1-15 kPa and a high pressure of 40-80 kPa. It is understood that a cyclical pulsation drying method with a low pressure of 1-15 kPa and a high pressure of 40-80 kPa is preferred. This is particularly useful when the pressure within the belt vacuum dryer 10 needs to be maintained at a low level, for example, 10 kPa. At this time, the vacuum unit 40 and the high-temperature heat pump unit 30 need to be turned on. The low-temperature water vapor passes through the working fluid evaporator 310 and transfers heat to the refrigerant in the high-temperature heat pump unit 30, and is then extracted by the vacuum unit 40. The refrigerant is compressed and enthalpy increased by the working fluid compressor 320, and then enters the working fluid condenser 330 and transfers heat to the hot water in the heat source hot water tank 510; if the pressure in the belt vacuum dryer 10 needs to be maintained at a high pressure state, for example: 50KPa, the vacuum unit 40 and the high-temperature heat pump unit 30 need to be turned off to prevent water vapor from escaping from the belt vacuum dryer 10 until the pressure reaches the high-pressure state value range, such as 50KPa. In this way, the pressure in the belt vacuum dryer 10 will become lower and lower as the vacuum unit 40 operates, and then it can reach the low-pressure operating range. When the pressure in the belt vacuum dryer 10 reaches a specific value requirement in the low-pressure range, for example, when it reaches 10KPa, the second outlet opening of the four-way reversing valve 120 can be adjusted to maintain the low-pressure value in the belt dryer, so that the low-pressure in the belt vacuum dryer 10 is in a stable state; when the low-pressure in the belt vacuum dryer 10 runs stably for a specified time, the second outlet of the four-way reversing valve 120 is closed, and the vacuum As moisture from the material evaporates into the belt vacuum dryer 10 during the drying process, the pressure within the belt vacuum dryer 10 gradually increases. When the pressure within the belt vacuum dryer 10 reaches a specific pressure value within the desired high-pressure range, the pressure can be regulated by adjusting the opening of the second outlet of the four-way reversing valve 120. This adjusts the amount of water vapor discharged to maintain the pressure within the belt vacuum dryer 10 constant within the specified high-pressure range, i.e., within the range of 40-80 kPa. When the temperature of the circulating hot water falls below the set heat source temperature, the supplementary heater 520 within the heat source hot water tank 510 can be activated to heat the circulating hot water. When the system operates within the high-pressure range for a specified time, the second outlet of the four-way reversing valve 120, the high-temperature heat pump unit 30, and the vacuum unit 40 are opened and regulated to reduce the pressure within the belt vacuum dryer 10. It should be noted that the working time of the low-pressure zone is preferably 0.5-30 minutes, and the working time of the high-pressure zone is also preferably 0.5-30 minutes, and this cycle is repeated.In one embodiment of the present invention, the circulating fluid in the high-temperature heat pump unit 30 can be R134a or carbon dioxide. That is, when the heat source water circulation temperature is required to be lower than 70 degrees Celsius, R134a can be used as the working fluid; when the heat source water circulation temperature is required to be 70-100 degrees Celsius, carbon dioxide can be used as the working fluid; when the heat source hot water temperature is required to be higher than 100 degrees Celsius, steam compressor 220 can be used, which is the second operating mode described below. Different materials require different heating temperatures, and thus can be adapted to different circulating working fluids. For example, if a material is suitable for heating at 80 degrees Celsius, exceeding 80 degrees Celsius may cause thermal damage to the material. In this case, carbon dioxide can be used as the circulating working fluid, and the heat source circulating water temperature can be stabilized at around 80 degrees Celsius.

[0044] The second operating mode is as follows: the drying pressure within the belt vacuum dryer 10 cycles between a low pressure of 10-40 kPa and a high pressure of 70-120 kPa. Preferably, the low pressure is 10-40 kPa and the high pressure is 70-120 kPa. It will be appreciated that within the belt vacuum dryer 10, moisture from the material evaporates at low temperatures under the vacuum environment. The evaporated water vapor is relatively low in temperature and then passes through the filter 60 located between the belt vacuum dryer 10 and the four-way reversing valve 120 before entering the steam compressor unit 20. When the belt vacuum dryer 10 is in a high pressure state, for example, 100 kPa, and needs to be switched to a low pressure after the high pressure is maintained for a specified time, the steam compressor unit 20 can be turned on, that is, the third outlet of the four-way reversing valve 120 is opened. After the low-temperature water vapor passes through the three-phase separator 210 to separate the small droplets, the remaining low-temperature water vapor enters the steam compressor 220. The low-temperature water vapor is compressed to increase the enthalpy and becomes high-temperature water vapor. Then the high-temperature water vapor enters the steam condenser 230. The high-temperature water vapor transfers heat to the hot water in the steam condenser 230 in the steam condenser 230. At this time, the temperature of the hot water is higher than the saturation temperature corresponding to the high pressure value. In this embodiment, the saturation temperature corresponds to 100 kPa, which is about 100 degrees. The water vapor cools down and condenses into liquid and enters the condensed water tank 240 for storage. In this way, the pressure in the belt vacuum dryer 10 will change from high pressure to low pressure. When the pressure within the belt vacuum dryer 10 reaches a specific value within the low-pressure range, the opening of the third outlet of the four-way reversing valve 120 is adjusted to stabilize the pressure within the belt vacuum dryer 10. When the system has been operating stably at low pressure for a specified period of time, the third outlet of the four-way reversing valve 120 and the steam compressor 220 can be closed. As moisture from the material evaporates into the belt vacuum dryer 10 during the drying process, the pressure within the belt vacuum dryer 10 gradually increases. Furthermore, when the pressure within the belt vacuum dryer 10 reaches a specific value within the desired high-pressure range, the opening of the third outlet of the four-way reversing valve 120 can be adjusted. This means that the amount of water vapor discharged can be adjusted to maintain the pressure within the belt vacuum dryer 10 constant within the specified high-pressure range. When the circulating hot water temperature falls below the set heat source temperature, the supplementary heater 520 in the hot water tank can be activated to heat the water in the heat source hot water tank 510. When the system runs at a specific high pressure value for a specified time, the steam compressor unit 20 is turned on to reduce the pressure in the belt vacuum dryer 10 to a low pressure. In one embodiment of the present invention, the working time of the low pressure zone and the working time of the high pressure zone are preferably 0.5-30 minutes, and this cycle is used to achieve pressure cyclic pulsation.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present invention, the steam evaporation rate during the material drying process is 80 kg / h, the steam consumption in the belt vacuum dryer 10 is 75 kg / h, and the system power consumption is 29 KW·H / h. The size of the belt vacuum dryer 10 is Φ550×2500 mm, and the material spreading area in the belt vacuum dryer 10 is 0.6 m 2 The length and width of the crawler belt in the conveyor belt mechanism 140 are 30m and 1.2m respectively. The heating area is 140m 2 The crawler running speed is 0.5-1.0m / min, the crawler driving power is 0.14KW, and the crawler material can be glass fiber belt or polytetrafluororesin coating. The crawler conveying can be controlled by the PLC controller, and it can also be connected to the electric control cabinet and touch control panel for monitoring. The three-phase separator 210 can be a vertical spray type, the wire mesh thickness is 50mm, the insulation layer thickness is 50mm, and the size is Φ500×2500mm. The nominal diameters of the filter 60, the four-way reversing valve 120, and the first three-way reversing valve and the second three-way reversing valve are all 200mm. The displacement of the steam compressor 220 is 56m3 / min, the compressor temperature rise is 30-70 degrees Celsius, and the distribution power is 45KW. The condensate tank 240 is horizontal, with a size of Φ500x1500mm, and the oil pump flow of the steam compressor 220 is 1.5m 3 / h, with a power of 1.5 kW. The dimensions of the heat source hot water tank 510 are Φ1000 x 3000 mm, and the temperature of the first heating plate 150 is 100-150 degrees Celsius. The working fluid in the high-temperature heat pump unit 30 can be R123a, CO2, or R245fa. In the vacuum unit 40, when the pressure is ≤10 kPa, a combination of a water ring and Roots pump can be used; when the pressure is greater than 10 kPa, a water ring vacuum pump can be used.

[0046] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a belt vacuum pulsating drying method with alternating normal pressure and vacuum, which is achieved by connecting the fourth outlet of the four-way reversing valve 120 to the outside world. When the belt vacuum dryer 10 is in a low-pressure operating state and has been running for a specified time, the fourth outlet of the four-way reversing valve 120 can be opened to allow external air to quickly enter the belt vacuum dryer 10 and increase the pressure in the belt vacuum dryer 10 to normal pressure. Then, the high-temperature heat pump unit 30 is turned on, and the steam compressor unit 20 and the vacuum unit 40 are turned off to maintain the pressure in the belt vacuum dryer 10 at normal pressure and remove moisture from the humid air in the belt dryer 10. When the pressure of the belt vacuum dryer 10 is running at normal pressure for a specified time, the vacuum unit 40 can be turned on to reduce the pressure in the belt vacuum dryer 10 to a low-pressure state. Preferably, the low-pressure range is 1-70KPa. After the belt vacuum dryer 10 has been operating at low pressure for a predetermined period of time, the above steps are repeated, corresponding to the pulsating cycle of normal pressure and vacuum in the belt vacuum dryer 10. This allows for a cyclical pulsating cycle of normal pressure and vacuum between 1 kPa and 70 kPa in the belt vacuum dryer 10.

[0047] The belt vacuum pulsating drying device provided by the present invention can improve the drying rate of the belt vacuum dryer 10 and ensure the drying quality of different materials. At the same time, it can be used in different operating modes, for example, by using the compression enthalpy increase of the steam compressor unit 20 or the energy level increase of the high-temperature heat pump unit 30 to supply heat to the heat source hot water tank 510 to form a hot water circulation system 50, recover the waste heat of the secondary steam in the vacuum dryer 10, reduce energy loss, and improve energy utilization.
