Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of hydrogel preparation equipment, in particular to a hydrogel drying device for preparing sodium chlorite hydrogel. Background Art
[0002] Chlorine dioxide has a strong oxidizing ability. Compared with traditional liquid chlorine, chlorine dioxide not only has a strong disinfection ability but also will not produce chlorophenols with strange smells with phenols in water, and will not react with humus to form carcinogens. It has multiple functions such as disinfection, sterilization, preservation, deodorization, preservation, and bleaching. It is a broad-spectrum, safe and efficient disinfectant, and is praised as a fourth-generation disinfectant. It is also widely used in pulp bleaching, food processing, medicine and health care and other fields. However, chlorine dioxide gas is unstable and inconvenient to transport and store. It must be prepared on-site, but the production of high concentrations of chlorine dioxide gas in a short period of time will cause harm to humans or animals. Therefore, the characteristic of chlorite to decompose under ultraviolet light to produce chlorine dioxide gas is used to prepare sodium chlorite gel, which can well achieve the production of chlorine dioxide gas while achieving long-term slow release of chlorine dioxide in space.
[0003] In the preparation process of sodium chlorite hydrogel, different from other hydrogel drying processes, the drying of sodium chlorite hydrogel needs to overcome its strong oxidizing property. The uneven temperature of the traditional drying box leads to excessive local temperature, which will cause the sodium chlorite hydrogel to decompose at high temperature. At the same time, the high-temperature decomposition of sodium chlorite hydrogel will release harmful gases. The traditional drying device has a simple structure and cannot effectively inhibit the oxidative decomposition of sodium chlorite. In the drying process of the hydrogel, it is difficult for the traditional drying device to adopt different drying modes for its early and mid-to-late precursor solutions and sol states. It is necessary to manually monitor the gelation state of the hydrogel to adjust the drying mode at any time, and the degree of automation is poor and the efficiency is low. Summary of the invention

A reflux temperature control chamber 6 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the box 1, and a residual air adsorption chamber 5 is fixedly installed in the middle of the reflux temperature control chamber 6. A reflux port 301 is opened in the middle of the top of the residual air adsorption chamber 5 and is connected to the box 1, so that the airflow blown into the box 1 flows inward in a direction parallel to the drying tray 3, and then flows downward from the reflux port 301 in the middle of the drying tray 3, forming an airflow circulation, avoiding the problem of local overheating. A grid plate 501 is fixedly installed in the middle of the residual gas adsorption chamber 5, and the upper side of the grid plate 501 is filled with coconut shell activated carbon and alkaline neutralizer. The harmful gases such as sulfur dioxide generated by the high temperature in the drying process of sodium chlorite hydrogel are discharged after alkali neutralization treatment. A high humidity outlet 503 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the residual gas adsorption chamber 5, and the high humidity outlet 503 extends to the lower side of the reflux temperature control chamber 6, and an exhaust pipe discharge interface is set at the rear opening. The inside of the reflux temperature control chamber 6 is located on both sides of the residual gas adsorption chamber 5. A heating plate 602 is fixedly installed on the outside of the circulating air pump 601. An air inlet 7 is provided at the bottom of 6 near the residual gas adsorption chamber 5. After the reflux temperature control chamber 6 guides the airflow to both sides through the air inlet 7, it is heated to the set temperature through the heating plate 602. An air cavity air inlet 202 connected to the reflux temperature control chamber 6 is provided at the bottom of the air distribution chamber 201. The airflow heated to the set temperature passes through the air cavity air inlet 202 into the air distribution chamber 201 and is evenly blown out. An inert gas delivery device can be connected to the air inlet 7 to make the box body 1 be in an inert gas environment such as nitrogen or argon, thereby further inhibiting the oxidation reaction during the drying process of the sodium chlorite hydrogel and reducing the generation and release of harmful gases.
[0023] See also Figure 4-6A movable air pipe 701 is movably installed at the air inlet 7, and the movable air pipe 701 is in an "L" shape, and the two ends of the "L" are openings. The front and rear sides of the residual gas adsorption chamber 5 are provided with channels connecting the reflux temperature control chambers 6 on both sides, and an inverted "T"-shaped control block 702 is movably arranged at the channel. The inverted "T"-shaped control block 702 is composed of a horizontal rod and a vertical rod fixedly connected. The top of the inverted "T"-shaped control block 702 extends into the box body 1 through the reflux port 301, and a control block spring 703 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inverted "T"-shaped control block 702. The two ends are respectively fixedly connected to the active air pipes 701 at the air inlets 7 on both sides, a magnetic adsorption strip 704 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the channel, and a magnetic block attracted to the magnetic adsorption strip 704 is arranged on the upper surface of the cross bar of the inverted "T"-shaped control block 702. Circulating air outlets 502 are evenly opened at the bottom of both sides of the residual air adsorption chamber 5. When the inverted "T"-shaped control block 702 moves up until its cross bar is close to the upper surface of the reflux temperature control chamber 6, the active air pipe 701 is pulled up by the inverted "T"-shaped control block 702 to the bottom opening facing the circulating air outlet 502. At this time, the bottom surface of the active air pipe 701 closes the air inlet The port 7 is connected with the outside world, a support spring 205 is fixedly installed on the top of the tray support block 204, a support rail 206 is fixedly installed on the top of the support spring 205, and the drying tray 3 is movably placed on the support rail 206. The two ends of the return port 301 are fixedly connected with connecting pillars 302. The connecting pillars 302 on the drying trays 3 between two adjacent layers contact and support each other, and the bottom of the bottommost connecting pillar 302 contacts the top surface of the inverted "T"-shaped control block 702. When the water content of the hydrogel in the mold plate 4 on the drying tray 3 is reduced to a low humidity state, multiple groups of weights on the drying trays 3 The overall lowering allows the support rail 206 to push the drying tray 3 upward, reducing the downward pressure on the drying tray 3. After the inverted "T"-shaped control block 702 moves up to the adsorption zone of the magnetic adsorption strip 704 under the elastic force of the control block spring 703, it is affected by the magnetic force of the magnetic adsorption strip 704, so that the inverted "T"-shaped control block 702 moves up until its cross bar is close to the upper surface of the reflux temperature control chamber 6. At this time, the active air pipe 701 is pulled up by the inverted "T"-shaped control block 702 to the bottom opening facing the circulating air outlet 502. At this time, the bottom surface of the active air pipe 701 closes the connection between the air inlet 7 and the outside world.
[0024] Among them, the circulating air pump 601 and the heating plate 602 are set with two dehumidification modes of low temperature and high wind speed and constant medium temperature and low wind speed through an embedded controller or an industrial PLC. A temperature sensor is provided in the box 1 to cooperate with the heating plate 602 to adjust the air flow temperature in real time in different states. A switching device is provided at the magnetic adsorption strip 704 to control the switching of the dehumidification mode.
[0025] The working principle of the method of the present invention is as follows: When in use, the prepared precursor solution is placed in the mold plate 4 and then evenly placed on the drying tray 3, and the drying tray 3 is pushed from bottom to top into the support rail 206 in the box body 1. The support spring 205 is pressed down by the gravity of the mold plate 4 and the precursor solution, so that the bottom of the connecting support 302 presses down the "T"-shaped control block 702 to compress the control block spring 703. At this time, the active air pipe 701 moves down to the side wall to close the circulating air outlet 502, and the bottom of the active air pipe 701 opens. The outlet is extended to the outside of the reflux temperature control chamber 6. At this time, the air inlet 7 is connected to the outside. The inert gas outside the air inlet 7 is heated up by the circulating air pump 601 and then introduced into the box body 1. The transverse section of the inverted "T"-shaped control block 702 does not contact the magnetic adsorption strip 704, that is, the pressure switching device is not touched, ensuring that the drying box is in a low temperature and high wind speed state when the material is in a high humidity state at the initial stage of drying. The high water vapor airflow after circulation is discharged to the outside through the high humidity outlet 503, ensuring the rapid drainage effect in the early stage of drying, and waiting for drying When the water content of the precursor solution in the drying tray 3 decreases during the gelation process and gradually evolves into a sol state, the weight of the mold tray 4 on the drying tray 3 decreases. Under the push of the tray support block 204 and the elastic force of the control block spring 703, the drying tray 3 gradually moves up until the magnetic attraction of the magnetic adsorption strip 704 is sufficient to adsorb the crossbar of the inverted "T"-shaped control block 702 so that it contacts the upper wall of the reflux temperature control chamber 6 and presses the switching device. At this time, the circulating air pump 601 and the heating plate 602 are controlled to switch to a constant medium temperature and low wind speed state. state, avoiding sudden temperature rise and preventing local overheating of residual sodium chlorite, while further drying the sol in the mold plate 4. At this time, the active air pipe 701 is pulled up by the inverted "T"-shaped control block 702 to the bottom opening facing the circulating air outlet 502, and the bottom surface of the active air pipe 701 closes the connection between the air inlet 7 and the outside world. The circulating air pump 601 guides the residual temperature airflow after adsorption in the residual gas adsorption chamber 5 to the reflux temperature control chamber 6 side for heating and utilization again, thereby ensuring the dehumidification efficiency in the later stage of drying while saving energy and cost.
