Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of activated carbon, and more particularly to a washing device for recycling and regenerating waste activated carbon. Background Technology

[0002] Activated carbon is a specially treated type of carbon. Organic raw materials (such as fruit shells, coal, and wood) are heated in the absence of air to reduce non-carbon components (a process called carbonization). Then, it reacts with gases, causing surface erosion and creating a highly porous structure (a process called activation). Activated carbon needs to be recycled and regenerated after it reaches saturation. Before recycling and regeneration, it needs to be cleaned to ensure the quality of the recycled material and facilitate reuse.

[0003] Existing washing devices for recycling and regenerating waste activated carbon suffer from uneven agitation during the washing process, resulting in incomplete cleaning. Consequently, some activated carbon is easily washed away by water during the waste discharge process after washing, leading to some activated carbon loss. Therefore, a new washing device for recycling and regenerating waste activated carbon is proposed to address these shortcomings. Summary of the Invention

[0029] A washing apparatus for recycling and regenerating waste activated carbon according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-6 An embodiment of the present invention provides a washing device for recycling and regenerating waste activated carbon, comprising a washing tank 1, a main control box 2 fixedly connected to the left side of the washing tank 1, a motor 3 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the main control box 2, a stirring rod 5 fixedly connected to the drive end of the motor 3, a plurality of washing mesh barrels 4 fixedly connected to the middle side inside the washing tank 1, the washing mesh barrels 4 being provided with dense sieve holes, one end of the stirring rod 5 passing through the middle side of the plurality of washing mesh barrels 4 in sequence, and a plurality of stirring rollers 6 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the stirring rod 5, the plurality of stirring rollers 6 being located inside the corresponding washing mesh barrels 4. Driven by the stirring rod 5, the stirring roller 6 rotates inside the mesh bucket. During the cleaning process, the water level in the cleaning tank 1 exceeds the height of the cleaning mesh bucket 4. The dense sieve structure of the cleaning mesh bucket 4 can prevent the activated carbon inside the cleaning mesh bucket 4 from being carried away by a large amount of liquid when the liquid is withdrawn, thus avoiding loss, without affecting the liquid entering the bucket. The stirring rod 5 and the stirring roller 6 fixedly connected to its surface rotate under the action of the motor 3, so that the stirring roller 6 continuously turns the waste activated carbon in the cleaning mesh bucket 4 during the cleaning process, allowing the waste activated carbon to fully react with the chemical agent used to clean the activated carbon, thereby thoroughly cleaning it.

[0031] Multiple blades 22 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the stirring roller 6. The multiple blades 22 help to increase the stirring frequency of waste activated carbon. Multiple blade holes 23 are set inside the blades 22. The hole structure design reduces the resistance caused by stirring waste activated carbon and liquid without hindering stirring, thereby improving stirring efficiency and reducing loss.

[0032] A blower box 7 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the cleaning chamber 1. Two blower pipes 8 are fixedly connected to the output end of the blower box 7 through a split pipe. The output end of the blower pipes 8 is connected to the top side of the cleaning chamber 1. After cleaning, the blower box 7 blows hot air for drying into the cleaning chamber 1 through the blower pipes 8 to dry the wet activated carbon that has been cleaned in the mesh bucket 4. At the same time, the stirring roller 6 will also turn the wet activated carbon inside to dry it quickly. Two dehumidifying fans 13 are fixedly connected to the top right side of the cleaning chamber 1 to remove the water vapor inside the cleaning chamber 1.

[0033] A water inlet 9 is fixed to the right side of the top of the cleaning tank 1. Clean water is injected into the cleaning tank 1 during the cleaning process. A cleaning agent inlet 10 is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the cleaning tank 1. Chemical agents for cleaning waste activated carbon are injected into the cleaning tank 1 during the washing step.

[0034] A drain outlet 11 is provided at the bottom right side of the cleaning tank 1, and a drain outlet valve 12 is provided on the top side of the drain outlet 11. Turning the drain outlet valve 12 allows the waste liquid inside the cleaning tank 1 to be discharged through the drain outlet 11.

[0035] The cleaning mesh bucket 4 is rotatably connected to a mesh door 17 via a rotating rod 16. Two rotating shafts 18 are fixedly connected to the top front side of the mesh door 17, and slots 19 are rotatably connected to the front side of each of the two rotating shafts 18. Two buckles 20 are fixedly connected to the front top side of the cleaning mesh bucket. The cleaning mesh bucket 4 is opened and closed by rotating the mesh door 17. Waste activated carbon can be poured into the cleaning mesh bucket 4 or clean activated carbon can be taken out. When cleaning is required or when it is not needed, the mesh door 17 is rotated to close it. Then, the slots 19 at the top front side are rotated to engage with the buckles 20 at the front top of the mesh bucket, thus fixing the mesh door 17 and closing the cleaning mesh bucket 4.

[0036] The cleaning mesh bucket 4 is fixedly connected to the left and right sides with fixing rods 21 to help fix the cleaning mesh bucket 4 to the bottom of the inner wall of the cleaning box 1.

[0037] The front of the cleaning chamber 1 is connected by hinges to two cleaning chamber cabinet doors 14. Each of the two cleaning chamber cabinet doors 14 is equipped with a cabinet door handle 15 for opening and closing the cleaning chamber 1. When the cabinet door is closed, it becomes a container for storing water. When the cleaning chamber cabinet door 14 is opened, activated carbon is poured in and taken out of the cleaning chamber 1. The edges of the cleaning chamber cabinet doors 14 are fitted with waterproof sealing strips to prevent liquid from overflowing from the cleaning chamber 1.

[0038] Working principle: First, open the cleaning chamber cabinet door 14 and open the cleaning chamber 1. By rotating the two slots 19 on the front side of the cleaning mesh bucket 4, disengage the slots 19 from the buckles 20 on the top front side of the cleaning mesh bucket 4. Open the mesh door 17 of the cleaning mesh bucket 4 and pour the waste activated carbon into the interior of the cleaning mesh bucket 4. Then close the mesh door 17, rotate the slots 19 to engage with the buckles 20, and secure the mesh door 17. Repeat the above operation for all three cleaning mesh buckets 4, and then close the cleaning chamber cabinet door 14. Next, inject the chemical agent for cleaning activated carbon into the cleaning agent inlet 10 at the center of the top side of the cleaning chamber 1 until the water level of the chemical agent in the cleaning chamber 1 exceeds the level of the cleaning mesh bucket 4. After completing the above steps, start motor 3. The stirring roller 6, fixed on stirring rod 5, will agitate the waste activated carbon inside the cleaning mesh bucket 4. The blades 22 fixed on the surface of stirring roller 6 and the blade holes 23 on the blades 22 will assist in the agitation to ensure that the waste activated carbon reacts fully with the cleaning agent mixed in the cleaning tank 1, completing the initial washing. Then, turn drain valve 12 to discharge the waste liquid in the cleaning tank 1 from the drain outlet 11 at the bottom right side of the cleaning tank 1. Then, turn drain valve 12 again to close drain outlet 11 and perform the second washing. Inject clean water from water inlet 9 at the top right end of the cleaning tank 1, so that the water level in the cleaning tank 1 covers the cleaning mesh bucket 4. The purpose of the second washing is to remove the waste liquid remaining on the waste activated carbon. After the second cleaning is completed, the waste liquid is discharged. The blower box 7 at the rear of the cleaning chamber 1 is started, and hot air is blown into the cleaning chamber 1 through the blower pipe 8 on the top side of the blower box 7. At the same time, with the assistance of the rotating stirring roller 6, the cleaned and damp activated carbon is dried. The moisture generated during the drying process will be discharged by the exhaust fan 13 on the top right side of the cleaning chamber 1. After the drying process is completed, the cabinet door 14 and the mesh door 17 of the cleaning chamber are opened, and the cleaned and dried activated carbon is taken out.
