Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cooling water filtration resin technology, and more particularly to a canned resin flushing device, system and method. Background Technology

[0002] The statements in this section are merely background information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] In manufacturing and industry, resin particles used for water filtration play an important role. The resin particles are stored in resin tanks, which have a resin inlet at the top and a resin outlet at the bottom. The resin is transported into the resin tank through the resin inlet and discharged from the resin tank through the resin outlet. However, as a consumable, the resin needs to be replaced regularly to maintain its effectiveness.

[0004] Currently, the main method for unloading resin is manual flushing. This involves using the resin outlet as the flushing port, through which flushing fluid enters the resin tank to rinse the resin inside. This method is time-consuming and requires a large amount of water, which not only limits production efficiency but also increases maintenance costs. Therefore, designing and manufacturing a fast and efficient resin flushing device that can efficiently flush resin from resin pipes, save water, and improve the cleanliness of the resin tank's inner wall is particularly necessary. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes a resin flushing device, system, and method that improves the cleanliness of the resin tank's inner wall by flushing and directionally exporting the resin inside the tank.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] In the first aspect, a canned resin flushing device is proposed, including a collection pipe, a water inlet pipe, multiple branch pipes and multiple spray pipes;

[0008] The first end of the collection tube is used to connect to the resin outlet of the resin tank;

[0009] The first end of the inlet pipe is used to connect to the water source, and the second end of the inlet pipe passes through the first end of the collection pipe and connects to multiple branch pipes.

[0010] The manifold can extend from the resin outlet to the inside of the resin tank;

[0011] Each branch pipe is connected to multiple spray pipes, and each spray pipe faces the inner wall of the resin tank.

[0012] Furthermore, multiple spray pipes are spaced apart along the length of the branch pipe.

[0013] Furthermore, the first end of each branch pipe is connected to the inlet pipe, and the second end of each branch pipe can extend from the resin outlet into the interior of the resin tank. After extending into the interior of the resin tank, each branch pipe can form a shape that surrounds the inner wall of the resin tank.

[0014] Furthermore, a magnetic suction device is installed at the second end of each shunt tube.

[0015] Furthermore, each spray pipe is oriented towards the inner wall of the resin tank and tilted upwards towards the resin tank.

[0016] Furthermore, multiple spray pipes are directed in different directions toward the inner wall of the resin tank.

[0017] Furthermore, the manifold is made of a flexible, bendable material.

[0018] Furthermore, a filter device is installed at the bottom of the collection tube.

[0019] Secondly, a canned resin flushing system is proposed, comprising a canned resin flushing device and a water source as proposed in the first aspect; the water inlet pipe of the canned resin flushing device is connected to the water source.

[0020] Thirdly, a resin flushing method for a resin flushing device proposed in the first aspect is provided, including:

[0021] Extend the distributor pipe from the resin outlet into the inside of the resin tank, and make the spray pipe face the inner wall of the resin tank.

[0022] Connect the collection tube to the resin outlet;

[0023] Connect the water inlet pipe to the water source;

[0024] When the water source is connected, the water from the water source is sprayed onto the inner wall of the resin tank through the inlet pipe, the branch pipe and the spray pipe to flush out the resin on the inner wall of the resin tank. The flushed liquid and resin are discharged into the collection pipe through the resin outlet.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0026] This invention proposes a resin flushing device, system, and method. The device includes a collection pipe, a water inlet pipe, multiple branch pipes, and multiple spray pipes. The first end of the collection pipe is connected to the resin outlet of the resin tank. The first end of the water inlet pipe is connected to a water source, and the second end of the water inlet pipe passes through the first end of the collection pipe and connects to the multiple branch pipes. The branch pipes extend from the resin outlet to the interior of the resin tank. Each branch pipe is connected to multiple spray pipes, each spray pipe facing the inner wall of the resin tank and inclined upwards. After water is diverted through the branch pipes, it is sprayed onto the inner wall of the resin tank through the spray pipes, effectively flushing away the resin on the inner wall. The resin inside the resin tank is discharged directionally with the water flow, improving the cleanliness of the inner wall of the resin tank. The flushed resin and liquid are collected in the collection pipe. This fully utilizes the limited space and water resources at the resin outlet of the resin tank, allowing for simultaneous resin flushing and discharge, improving cleaning efficiency and saving maintenance costs.

[0044] Where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0045] Example 1

[0046] Ion exchange desalination removes certain ions from the solution by exchanging ions in an ion exchange resin with those in the solution. Cation exchange resin is an insoluble polymer compound with a network structure that can dissociate into cations. When the resin loses its ability to exchange ions in the water, it needs to be replaced.

[0047] In manufacturing and industry, resin particles used for water filtration play an important role. The resin particles are stored in resin tanks, which have a resin inlet at the top and a resin outlet at the bottom. The resin is transported into the resin tank through the resin inlet and discharged from the resin tank through the resin outlet. However, as a consumable, the resin needs to be replaced regularly to maintain its effectiveness.

[0048] Currently, the main method for unloading resin is manual flushing. This involves using the resin outlet as the flushing port, through which flushing fluid enters the resin tank to rinse the resin inside. This method is time-consuming and requires a large amount of water, which not only limits production efficiency but also increases maintenance costs. Therefore, designing and manufacturing a fast and efficient resin flushing device that can efficiently flush resin from resin pipes, save water, and improve the cleanliness of the resin tank's inner wall is particularly necessary.

[0049] To improve the cleanliness of the resin tank's inner wall, this embodiment proposes a resin flushing device. The device connects to a water source via an inlet pipe, diverts water from the inlet pipe through a branch pipe, and sprays the diverted water onto the inner wall of the resin tank through a spray pipe. This flushes the resin from the inner wall, and the flushed resin flows into a collection pipe with the water flow. This improves the cleanliness of the resin tank's inner wall and the overall cleanliness of the work environment, while significantly shortening the flushing time. This is especially beneficial during equipment maintenance and downtime when rapid restart is required, effectively optimizing production scheduling and improving overall production efficiency.

[0050] Combination Figures 1-8 This embodiment provides a detailed description of a resin flushing device.

[0051] This embodiment discloses a canned resin flushing device, such as... Figure 1-8 As shown, it includes a collection pipe 1, an inlet pipe 2, multiple branch pipes 3, and multiple spray pipes 4;

[0052] The first end of the collection pipe 1 is used to connect with the resin outlet of the resin tank;

[0053] The first end of the inlet pipe 2 is used to connect to the water source, and the second end of the inlet pipe 2 passes through the first end of the collection pipe 1 and connects to multiple branch pipes 3.

[0054] The diversion pipe 3 can extend from the resin outlet to the inside of the resin tank;

[0055] Each branch pipe 3 is connected to multiple spray pipes 4, and each spray pipe 4 faces the inner wall of the resin tank.

[0056] In this embodiment, each spray pipe 4 faces the inner wall of the resin tank and is inclined upwards. The water inlet pipe 2 is used to connect to the water source and guide the water supplied by the water source to each branch pipe 3. The water in each branch pipe 3 is sprayed onto the inner wall of the resin tank through the spray pipe 4 to rinse the resin on the inner wall of the resin tank. By setting the spray pipe 4 to be inclined upwards towards the inner wall of the resin tank, the rinsing effect on the resin on the inner wall of the resin tank is ensured, the cleanliness of the inner wall of the resin tank is improved, and water resources are saved.

[0057] In addition, when the diversion pipe 3 is inserted into the resin tank, the first end of the collection pipe 1 can fit into the resin outlet of the resin tank, and all the resin and liquid rinsed in the resin tank can enter the collection pipe 1, ensuring the cleanliness of the site environment.

[0058] Preferably, the collection pipe 1 can be in the form of a bend or a straight pipe, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 4 The L-shaped bend shown is an example.

[0059] The specific form of the collection tube 1 can be determined according to the size of the environmental space where the resin tank is located.

[0060] When the collection pipe 1 is a straight pipe, the inlet pipe 2 passes through both ends of the collection pipe 1, passes through the inside of the collection pipe 1, and connects with the diversion pipe 3.

[0061] When the collection pipe 1 is in the form of a bend, the inlet pipe 2 enters the interior of the collection pipe 1 from the bend and extends out from the first end of the collection pipe 1 to connect with the diversion pipe 3.

[0062] In this embodiment, the collection pipe 1 is fixedly connected to the water inlet pipe 2, and a seal is provided at the connection between the water inlet pipe 2 and the collection pipe 1 to prevent the liquid in the collection pipe 1 from leaking out from the connection between the collection pipe 1 and the water inlet pipe 2.

[0063] Preferably, the inlet pipe 2 is made of a rigid material to provide fixed support for the collection pipe 1.

[0064] In this embodiment, the water inlet pipe 2 is connected to multiple branch pipes 3, and the water discharged from the water inlet pipe 2 is divided by setting multiple branch pipes 3.

[0065] Preferably, there can be two or more diversion pipes 3, and the specific number of diversion pipes 3 is determined according to the structure of the resin tank.

[0066] In this embodiment, to improve the rinsing effect on the resin inside the resin tank, multiple spray pipes 4 are installed on each branch pipe 3, and all spray pipes 4 are connected to the branch pipe 3. The multiple spray pipes 4 are spaced apart along the length of the branch pipe 3, and are directed towards different directions on the inner wall of the resin tank. By installing multiple spray pipes 4 and directing them towards different directions on the inner wall of the resin tank, comprehensive rinsing of all areas of the inner wall of the resin tank is ensured, further improving the rinsing effect on the resin inside the resin tank and enhancing the cleanliness of the inner wall of the resin tank.

[0067] In practice, the spray pipes 4 can be arranged in different lengths and face different directions toward the inner wall of the resin tank.

[0068] In this embodiment, the first end of each diversion pipe 3 is connected to the inlet pipe 2, and the second end of each diversion pipe 3 can extend into the interior of the resin tank from the resin outlet. After each diversion pipe 3 extends into the interior of the resin tank, it can form a shape that surrounds the inner wall of the resin tank. Furthermore, after the diversion pipe 3 extends into the interior of the resin tank, it does not adhere to the inner wall of the resin tank, thus ensuring a good rinsing effect on all angles of the inner wall of the resin tank.

[0069] In addition, this embodiment also specifies that each diversion pipe 3 is provided with a magnetic attraction device at its second end. When the diversion pipe 3 extends into the interior of the resin tank from the resin outlet of the resin tank, the magnetic attraction devices at the second ends of all diversion pipes 3 attract each other, thereby fixing the position of the diversion pipe 3 and further preventing the diversion pipe 3 and the spray pipe 4 from changing position due to the impact of water, thereby affecting the rinsing effect on the inner wall of the resin tank.

[0070] In order to facilitate the insertion of the diversion pipe 3 into the resin tank and to form a shape that surrounds the inner wall of the resin tank, and to ensure that the diversion pipe 3 does not fit against the inner wall of the resin tank after being inserted into the resin tank, the diversion pipe 3 is made of a flexible material so that after the diversion pipe 3 is inserted into the resin tank from the resin outlet, it forms a shape that surrounds the inner wall of the resin tank.

[0071] In addition, the diversion pipe 3 in this embodiment can also be connected to the inlet pipe 2 via a hinge. With the flexibility of the diversion pipe 3, the opening and closing angle of the hinge can be adjusted by rotating the inlet pipe 2, thereby adjusting the included angle between the inlet pipes 2.

[0072] Preferably, the inlet pipe 2, the branch pipe 3, and the spray pipe 4 are pipes with a constant diameter.

[0073] Alternatively, the inlet pipe 2, the diversion pipe 3, and the spray pipe 4 can all be in the form of tapered spray pipes to increase the water flow velocity, improve the impact force on the inner wall of the resin tank, facilitate the flushing of resin on the inner wall of the resin tank, and improve the flushing effect and flushing efficiency of the inner wall of the resin tank.

[0074] Specifically, the first end of the spray pipe 4 is connected to the diversion pipe 3, and the second end of the spray pipe 4 faces the inner wall of the resin tank; the diameter of the spray pipe 4 gradually decreases from the first end to the second end.

[0075] The diameter of the inlet pipe 2 gradually decreases from the first end of the inlet pipe to the second end of the inlet pipe.

[0076] The diameter of the diverter 3 gradually decreases from the first end of the diverter to the second end.

[0077] When using the resin flushing device disclosed in this embodiment to flush the inside of the resin tank, firstly, the diversion pipe 3 is extended into the inside of the resin tank from the resin outlet, and the spray pipe 4 is directed toward the inner wall of the resin tank. The diversion pipe 3 is shaped to encircle the inner wall of the resin tank and does not fit against the inner wall of the resin tank. The collection pipe 1 is connected to the resin outlet, and the water inlet pipe 2 is connected to the water source. Then, the water source is turned on, and the water in the water source enters the water inlet pipe 2, the diversion pipe 3 and the spray pipe 4 in sequence, and is sprayed onto the inner wall of the resin tank through the spray pipe 4 to flush the resin on the inner wall of the resin tank. The flushed liquid and resin are discharged into the collection pipe 1 through the resin outlet.

[0078] In this embodiment, a filter device can also be installed at the bottom of the collection pipe 1. The filter device filters the liquid entering the collection pipe 1, removing impurities such as resin from the liquid. The filtered water is then reused to flush out residual resin in the resin tank.

[0079] Preferably, the filtering device can be a filter screen or the like.

[0080] This embodiment discloses a resin flushing device. When flushing the inner wall of the resin tank, the water discharged from the water source is accelerated through the water inlet pipe, the diversion pipe and the spray pipe. The accelerated water is sprayed onto the inner wall of the resin tank through the spray pipe, effectively flushing away the resin on the inner wall of the resin tank and providing thrust for the resin to flow out. This causes the resin in the resin tank to follow the water flow and be directionally discharged from the resin tank, improving the cleanliness of the inner wall of the resin tank. The flushed resin and liquid are collected in the collection pipe. This device can make full use of the limited space and water resources of the resin outlet of the resin tank, so that the flushing and discharge of resin can be carried out simultaneously, improving cleaning efficiency and saving maintenance costs.

[0081] The resin flushing device disclosed in this embodiment can save a lot of water resources, improve the cleanliness of the inner wall of the resin tank and the cleanliness of the site environment, and significantly shorten the flushing time. Especially when it is necessary to quickly put the equipment back into operation during equipment maintenance and shutdown, it can effectively optimize the production schedule and improve the overall production efficiency.

[0082] This embodiment discloses a resin flushing device, wherein the diversion pipe is made of a flexible material that allows it to easily extend from the resin outlet into the resin tank and direct the spray pipe toward the inner wall of the resin tank.

[0083] The resin flushing device disclosed in this embodiment can be equipped with a filter device at the bottom of the collection pipe. The filter device can filter the liquid entering the collection pipe 1, so that the filtered water can be recycled and save water resources.
