Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of rubber primary processing, and relates to a microwave solar heat pump combined natural rubber crumb drying device and a drying method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Natural rubber is a natural high molecular compound with polyisoprene as the main component. The wet rubber particles obtained by acid coagulation, curing, pressing, and hammering of the latex obtained from rubber trees contain about 30% moisture, which needs to be dried.

[0003] Since natural rubber is a hydrophobic substance, the internal moisture is wrapped during the drying process, and the diffusion and evaporation of water are difficult. In addition, the surface of natural rubber is prone to oxidation and stickiness, and in a humid and hot environment, the oxidation and stickiness of the surface of natural rubber will be aggravated. The drying process of natural rubber requires a certain temperature, and the moisture contained in the rubber will also evaporate, forming a humid and hot environment, thereby accelerating the oxidation and stickiness of the surface of the rubber, hindering the diffusion of the moisture in the rubber to the outside, and increasing the difficulty of drying the natural rubber. Therefore, the drying of natural rubber needs to be completed within a certain time, thereby further increasing the energy consumption in the drying process of natural rubber.

[0004] At present, in order to ensure the drying effect of natural rubber while reducing the energy consumption in the drying process, a solar heat pump microwave combined drying technology is used. For example, the patent with the application number 200910211139.X discloses a solar heat pump microwave drying system, which uses solar energy to save drying energy consumption, and the solar energy is a clean energy, which can realize the purpose of environmental protection. However, the degree of automation is low, and the use of solar energy collector to heat water and then heat air through heat exchange of water for drying increases the consumption of water resources and has a certain negative impact on the drying efficiency.

[0005] The patent with the application number 201510048882.3 discloses a new type of solar-microwave combined drying equipment, which establishes a combined drying equipment mainly using solar energy and assisted by microwave drying, and uses a temperature sensor in the drying box to feedback in time, so that the control system automatically opens the microwave dryer to ensure the drying temperature in the drying box. The use of solar energy resources does not affect the drying quality while greatly saving energy. However, the solar heat collection group is fixed, and the position of the sun changes with time, so the aforementioned technology has high requirements for the placement position of the equipment, and the solar heat collection group cannot be adjusted according to the change of the position of the sun, so the solar energy cannot be used more efficiently. If the number of solar energy collectors is increased, the cost will also be increased.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a microwave solar heat pump combined drying natural rubber crumb equipment and a drying method thereof, which effectively reduces drying energy consumption, improves the utilization efficiency of solar energy and improves drying efficiency under the premise of controlling cost. SUMMARY

[0007] In order to overcome the problems in the background art, the present application provides a microwave solar heat pump combined drying natural rubber crumb equipment and a drying method thereof, which uses a cooperative control system to control the magnetron, the solar drying system and the heat pump drying system, so that different drying methods have excellent cooperative effect in the drying process, and the degree of automation of the equipment is improved. By using solar energy to heat air to form hot air, the hot air is directly introduced into the microwave cavity after purification and drying to dry the natural rubber, reducing the pressure of using the magnetron for microwave drying, reducing the energy consumption of the microwave drying system, and the hot air also has a certain heating effect on the dry flue gas collected from the microwave cavity. After purification and drying, the hot air and the dry flue gas are introduced into the microwave cavity for recycling, reducing the frequency of dry flue gas emission, having certain environmental protection significance, and also having a drying effect on the natural rubber, which is beneficial to reduce energy consumption. By arranging the air duct on the electric rotating support, the air duct can rotate, and the solar collector installed on the air duct can be adjusted according to the position of the sun, so that the solar collector has higher collection and utilization efficiency of solar energy. By using a drying method with high compatibility with the equipment, the rationality of the equipment is ensured, and the functions of the equipment are fully utilized.

[0035] The solar drying system 2 includes a solar heat collector 201, an air duct 202, a connecting pipe 203, an air outlet pipe 204, a second electric air valve 205, an electric rotating support 206, a second fan 207 and a bearing 208, the solar heat collector 201 is fixedly arranged on the outer surface of the air duct 202, the second electric air valve 205 is installed at the middle position of the air duct 202, the air inlet end of the air duct 202 is fixedly arranged on the electric rotating support 206, the air outlet end of the air duct 202 is fixedly connected with one end of the connecting pipe 203, the other end of the connecting pipe 203 is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the inner ring of the bearing 208, the connecting pipe 203 and the air outlet end of the air duct 202 are connected through a horn structure, the outer wall of the outer ring of the bearing 208 is fixedly connected with the inner wall of one end of the air outlet pipe 204, the other end of the air outlet pipe 204 is communicated with the pipeline reducing valve 10, the second fan 207 is also installed on the air outlet pipe 204, the middle position of the air outlet pipe 204 is communicated with the microwave cavity 6 through a pipeline, the pipeline which communicates the air outlet pipe 204 with the microwave cavity 6 is installed with the first fan 13 and the first electric air valve 14, the electric rotating support 206 is fixedly arranged at one end of the top of the support 1, the rotating center axis of the air duct 202 coincides with the axis of the bearing 208, the second electric air valve 205, the electric rotating support 206 and the second fan 207 are electrically connected with the cooperative control system 11;

[0036] The heat pump drying system 4 comprises a flue gas purifier 401, a heat exchange system 402, and a third electric air valve 403. The flue gas purifier 401 is connected to the pipe diameter changing valve 10 through a pipeline at the inlet, and is connected to the heat exchange system 402 through a pipeline at the outlet. The outlet of the heat exchange system 402 is connected to the hot air main pipeline 8 on one side of the drying belt 7 through a pipeline passing through the top of the support 1. The pipeline connecting the heat exchange system 402 and the hot air main pipeline 8 is provided with the third electric air valve 403. The third electric air valve 403, the heat exchange system 402, and the cooperative control system 11 are electrically connected. When the equipment is started, the cooperative control system 11 is used to adjust the electric rotating support 206 first, so that the solar heat collector 201 receives the sun's radiation with the maximum area. When the solar heat collector 201 is rotated to the appropriate direction, its state is maintained. Since the path of the sun relative to the equipment does not change greatly, the control instruction of the electric rotating support 206 can also be input into the cooperative control system 11 in advance, and the rotating support is automatically controlled by the cooperative control system 11 to rotate to the appropriate angle at the appropriate time. Then, the second electric air valve 205, the second air fan 207, the third electric air valve 403, the heat exchange system 402, the infrared temperature measuring instrument 12, and the magnetron 3 are turned on by the cooperative control system 11. At this time, the second electric air valve 205 and the third electric air valve 403 are in the open state, and the first air fan 13 and the first electric air valve 14 are in the closed state. Air is sucked into the air duct 202 under the action of the second air fan 207. The air is heated by the solar heat collector 201 during the process of passing through the air duct 202, so that its temperature rises. Then, the heated air continues to flow through the connecting pipe 203 and the air outlet pipe 204 to the pipe diameter changing valve 10, and then flows to the flue gas purifier 401 through the pipeline for purification. After purification, the air is heated and dried in the heat exchange system 402. The heat exchange system 402 mainly realizes the heating effect. As for drying, part of the water is evaporated during the heating process, which has a certain drying effect. Then, the heated air flows into the hot air main pipeline 8 on one side of the drying belt 7 through the pipeline, and is sprayed into the microwave cavity 6 through the hot air branch pipeline 9. At this time, the temperature in the microwave cavity 6 rises, the hot air main pipelines 8 on both sides of the drying belt 7 are connected by the hot air branch pipelines 9, so that when the air flow is large, the air will flow to the hot air main pipeline 8 on the other side of the drying belt 7 through the hot air branch pipeline 9, and then be sprayed through the hot air branch pipeline 9 on the other side of the drying belt 7.The infrared thermometer 12 measures the temperature in real time and transmits the temperature signal to the cooperative control system 11. The operator adjusts the magnetron 3, the solar drying system 2, and the hot air drying system according to the temperature displayed by the cooperative control system 11 combined with the actual drying demand, or presets the control parameters in the cooperative control system 11. The cooperative control system 11 directly and automatically adjusts each drying system according to the received temperature of the microwave cavity 6. The drying belt 7 passes through the microwave cavity 6 at both ends, but the opening of the microwave cavity 6 where the drying belt 7 passes out is only enough for the drying belt 7 to transport materials in and out, so the hot air and other things in the microwave cavity 6 do not flow out in large quantities, and have little effect on the temperature in the microwave cavity 6. For example, in summer or sunny weather, the sunlight is excellent, and the solar energy is sufficient. The heated air also has a good heating effect in the microwave cavity 6, so the number of magnetrons 3 turned on can be appropriately reduced to reduce the power of the magnetrons 3, and the power of the heat exchange system 402 can be appropriately adjusted or the heat exchanger can be directly turned off. If it is winter or cloudy or night, the sunlight condition is poor, and the solar energy is insufficient. The heating effect of the air is poor, and the heating effect of the heated air in the microwave cavity 6 is also reduced. Therefore, the number of magnetrons 3 turned on is appropriately increased, and the power of the heat exchange system 402 is adjusted to heat the air for the second time to ensure the drying effect. After the operator adjusts the temperature in the microwave cavity 6 to meet the drying conditions, the drying belt 7 is started by the cooperative control system 11, and the natural rubber particles are added to the drying belt 7 through the material holding hopper 5. The natural rubber particles fall on the drying belt 7 from the material holding hopper 5 and are transported and moved by the drying belt 7. The natural rubber particles are dried in the microwave cavity 6. When the drying of the natural rubber particles starts, the first fan 13 is started and the first electric air valve 14 is opened by the cooperative control system 11. Due to the action of the first fan 13, the hot air with high water content in the microwave cavity 6 is extracted and enters the air outlet pipe 204 through the pipeline. The hot air enters the air outlet pipe 204, the pipeline reducing valve 10, the flue gas purifier 401, and then reenters the microwave cavity 6, realizing the recycling of the drying air. After the first fan 13 and the first electric air valve 14 are opened, the temperature in the microwave cavity 6 will change slightly due to the slight disturbance of the hot air in the microwave cavity 6. At this time, the solar drying system 2, the magnetron 3, and the heat pump drying system 4 are adjusted by the cooperative control system 11 to quickly re-meet the requirements of the environment in the microwave cavity 6, and the transmission speed of the drying belt 7 is appropriately adjusted to avoid the influence of the change of the environment on the drying effect of the natural rubber particles at that time. The natural rubber particles are transported by the drying belt 7, move from one end of the material holding hopper 5 to one end of the collection container 16, and fall into the collection container 16 through the opening on the top surface of the support 1 above the collection container 16, that is, the drying of the natural rubber particles is completed.During the whole drying process, the relevant components can be controlled through the cooperative control system 11, which is convenient to operate and has high automation degree, and through drying the natural rubber by hot air, the number of magnetrons 3 turned on and the operating power of the heat exchange system 402 can be appropriately reduced, so that the purpose of energy saving and consumption reduction is achieved.

[0037] The cooperative control system 11 comprises a solar control system 1101, a microwave control system 1102 and a heat pump control system 1103, the microwave control system 1102 is located between the solar control system 1101 and the heat pump control system 1103, the second electric air valve 205, the electric rotating support 206 and the second fan 207 are electrically connected with the solar control system 1101, the magnetron 3, the drying belt 7 and the thermocouple tester are electrically connected with the microwave control system 1102, and the heat exchange system 402, the third electric air valve 403, the first fan 13 and the first electric air valve 14 are electrically connected with the heat pump control system 1103. By separately arranging different control systems and directly connecting different drying systems with corresponding control systems, the system control pressure is reduced, the number of control buttons or control panels in the same area is reduced, and the probability of misoperation of the operator is reduced.

[0038] The cooperative control system 11 is a touch screen PLC control system, which has multiple outputs and inputs, the input ends of the first electric air valve 14, the second electric air valve 205, the electric rotating support 206, the third electric air valve 403, the drying belt 7, the magnetron 3, the heat exchange system 402, the first fan 13, the second fan 207 and the infrared temperature measuring instrument 12 are respectively electrically connected with different output ends of the touch screen PLC control system, and the output end of the infrared temperature measuring instrument 12 is electrically connected with the input end of the touch screen PLC control system.

[0039] The pipeline of the communication air outlet pipe 204 and the microwave cavity 6 is communicated through the horn mouth and the microwave cavity 6, so that the flue gas in the drying chamber is more easily collected into the air outlet pipe 204.

[0040] The magnetrons 3 are several and are uniformly arranged on the top surface of the microwave cavity 6.

[0041] The dry natural rubber particle device further comprises an emergency switch 15 arranged on the panel of the integrated cabinet of the cooperative control system 11, the first electric air valve 14, the second electric air valve 205, the third electric air valve 403, the electric rotating support 206, the magnetron 3, the drying belt 7, the infrared temperature measuring instrument 12, the heat exchange system 402, the first fan 13, and the second fan 207 are electrically connected with the emergency switch 15, and the emergency switch 15 controls the power on-off of the first electric air valve 14, the second electric air valve 205, the third electric air valve 403, the electric rotating support 206, the magnetron 3, the drying belt 7, the infrared temperature measuring instrument 12, the heat exchange system 402, the first fan 13, and the second fan 207. The cooperative control system 11 has a relatively complex circuit, signal transmission and control parameters. Once the cooperative control system 11 fails, it may cause the device to run disorderly, which not only cannot normally realize drying, but also can cause damage to other electrical components. Therefore, if the cooperative control system 11 fails and causes the device to run disorderly, the electrical components are cut off by the emergency switch 15, thereby reducing the damage rate of the device. When the emergency switch 15 is normal, it is in a non-cut-off power-on state.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] In this embodiment, the sunshine condition is excellent, and the sunlight is sufficient. The initial water content of the natural rubber particles is 25wt%, after the solar heat collector is adjusted and the microwave cavity is preheated, the formal drying of the natural rubber particles is started.

[0044] Comparative Example 1
