Description

[0001] This invention is a divisional application of the Chinese invention patent application with an application date of October 20, 2021, application number 2021112198761, and name “A rotary dehumidifier and its use method”. Technical Field

[0002] The invention relates to the technical field of gas dehumidification, and in particular to a rotary dehumidifier. Background Art

[0003] Rotary dehumidifier is an important branch in the field of air conditioning and a typical representative of temperature-controlled dehumidification. Rotary dehumidifier is a dehumidifier that can perform continuous dehumidification. During the dehumidification process, the dehumidification wheel is driven to rotate, and the humid air flows through the honeycomb hygroscopic body on the rotating wheel. The honeycomb hygroscopic body absorbs moisture in the air, and the honeycomb hygroscopic body rotates to the regeneration zone. The high-temperature air entering the regeneration zone regenerates the honeycomb hygroscopic body and then absorbs moisture in the air. This reciprocating dehumidification efficiency is high. However, in the existing rotary dehumidifier, the moisture precipitated from the air in the rotary wheel part is mostly accumulated in the hygroscopic body, and then the moisture can be discharged after it is disassembled by the staff. This method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the back-and-forth disassembly is also likely to cause damage to the internal structure or a decrease in the matching precision. At the same time, the current rotary dehumidifier is difficult to flexibly adjust the dehumidification effect and dehumidification efficiency, and there is obvious energy waste.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the present invention, so the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0041] In the description of the present invention, “plurality” means at least two, for example, two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0042] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly defined. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0043] In the invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or that the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Moreover, a first feature being "above", "above" or "above" a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below", "below" or "below" a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0044] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be an intermediate element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time.

[0045] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this example provides a rotary dehumidifier, which includes: a rotary mechanism 1 and an airflow exchange mechanism arranged beside the rotary mechanism 1.

[0047] Among them, the airflow exchange mechanism includes a dehumidification mechanism and a regeneration mechanism that are relatively arranged; the dehumidification mechanism includes a dehumidification fan 23 and a dehumidification filter component 24 respectively located on the left and right sides of the rotor mechanism 1, and the dehumidification fan 23 is movably arranged and can move relative to the rotor mechanism 1; the regeneration mechanism includes a regeneration fan 21, a heating device for heating the gas passing to the regeneration fan 21, and a regeneration filter component 22, the regeneration fan 21 and the regeneration filter component 22 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the rotor mechanism 1, and the regeneration fan 21 is movably arranged and can move relative to the rotor mechanism 1; the dehumidification route of the dehumidification mechanism is parallel to the regeneration route of the regeneration mechanism.

[0048] The above-mentioned arrangement enables the dehumidification fan 23 and the regeneration fan 21 to be movably arranged and to move relative to the rotary wheel mechanism 1, thereby making the positions of the dehumidification fan 23 and the regeneration fan 21 adjustable, thereby being able to adjust the size of the regeneration area and the dehumidification area to obtain the expected dehumidification effect and dehumidification efficiency. Furthermore, since the dehumidification effect and dehumidification efficiency can be flexibly adjusted, the dehumidification state can be adjusted according to the actual humidity conditions of the outside world, which is conducive to accurately controlling the ambient humidity while saving energy.

[0049] At the same time, the above-mentioned arrangement enables the dehumidification zone and regeneration zone on the wheel to be clearly layered without the need for hardware isolation. It should be appreciated that the positions of the dehumidification mechanism and the regeneration mechanism in the present invention can be adjusted, thereby changing the sizes of the corresponding dehumidification zone and the regeneration zone. In the present invention, it is obviously not necessary to set up a hardware isolation plate to separate the above two areas.

[0050] In this example, the dehumidification mechanism is located below the regeneration mechanism, and the length of the dehumidification mechanism is greater than that of the regeneration mechanism. Figure 1 As shown, the regeneration fan 21 and the dehumidification filter component 24 are respectively located on the left side of the rotary mechanism 1, and the regeneration filter component 22 and the dehumidification fan 23 are respectively located on the right side of the rotary mechanism 1. The overall volume of the dehumidification mechanism is relatively large, and the overall volume of the regeneration mechanism is relatively small. In this example, the dehumidification mechanism also includes a first driving mechanism for driving the dehumidification fan 23 to move in any direction, and the first driving mechanism is arranged beside the dehumidification fan 23; the regeneration mechanism also includes a second driving mechanism for driving the regeneration fan 21 to move in any direction, and the second driving mechanism is arranged beside the regeneration fan 21; the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism each independently include a mechanical arm, and can drive the corresponding dehumidification fan 23 or regeneration fan 21 through their respective mechanical arms to achieve displacement movement relative to the rotary mechanism 1, and the movement route can be any position and any direction that can be preset for the mechanical arm.

[0051] In this example, the regeneration fan 21, the heating device and the regeneration filter component 22 are arranged in sequence, and the wheel mechanism 1 is located in the middle of the regeneration fan 21 and the heating device.

[0052] In this example, if Figure 2-3 As shown, the wheel mechanism 1 includes a dehumidification wheel and a third driving mechanism for driving the dehumidification wheel to rotate along its own axis, the dehumidification wheel includes an axle 14, a wheel body 11 and a dehumidification component arranged between the axle 14 and the wheel body 11, a plurality of protrusions 15 are formed on the outer peripheral wall of the wheel body 11, and the plurality of protrusions 15 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the wheel body 11; the third driving mechanism includes a driving motor 16, and a transmission belt, one end of which is wound around the wheel body 11 and pressed on a part of the protrusions 15, and the other end of which is wound around the output shaft of the driving motor 16 and is drivingly connected to the output shaft of the driving motor 16. The rotating wheel mechanism 1 is connected to the transmission belt and the driving motor 16 (which can be a driving motor) through the protrusion 15 to achieve the speed adjustment of the rotating wheel mechanism 1. It should be appreciated that in the present invention, the external driving motor serves as the driving device, and the axle 14 inside the rotating wheel mechanism 1 serves as the axis. In another embodiment, a section of the axle 14 is directly connected to the driving device, thereby saving the external space of the rotating wheel mechanism 1.

[0053] It should also be noted that the fuzziness of the positions of the dehumidification zone and the regeneration zone in this example, assisted by the position sensor of the dehumidification mechanism electrically connected to the external drive motor, enables the corresponding drive motor to automatically adjust its speed according to the position distribution of the regeneration zone and the dehumidification zone inside the wheel. For example, when the dehumidification zone is expanded, increasing the speed can further improve the dehumidification efficiency. For another example, when the dehumidification zone is reduced, the drive motor can still increase the speed to ensure the dehumidification effect while taking into account the dehumidification efficiency.

[0054] Furthermore, the dehumidification component includes a moisture absorption wheel and a moisture absorption ring; the dehumidification wheel also includes a plurality of support columns 13 and an adjustment ring 12 arranged at equal intervals around the wheel shaft 14, one end of the support column 13 is connected to the outer wall of the wheel shaft 14, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the wheel body 11, and the support column 13 passes through the moisture absorption wheel and the moisture absorption ring respectively; the extension direction of the support column 13 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the wheel shaft 14; the adjustment ring 12 is slidably arranged on each support column 13 and can expand or contract during the sliding process; the wheel shaft 14, the moisture absorption wheel, the adjustment ring 12, the moisture absorption ring and the wheel body 11 are arranged in sequence from the inside to the outside, that is, the moisture absorption wheel is sleeved on the wheel shaft 14, and the adjustment ring 12 is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the moisture absorption wheel, and the adjustment ring 12 can also be slidably arranged with the support column 13, in addition, the moisture absorption ring is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the adjustment ring 12, and the wheel body 11 is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the moisture absorption ring.

[0055] The above-mentioned innovative dehumidification component is configured to include a desiccant wheel, a desiccant ring, and a slidable adjustment ring 12. Through the setting of the adjustment ring 12, the density of the desiccant wheel and the desiccant ring can be differentiated, thereby achieving different desiccant absorption and regeneration effects. Specifically, the desiccant wheel or the desiccant ring can be compressed by moving the adjustment ring 12, and then the other one can be released to obtain the effect of fine-tuning the density, thereby increasing the adjustability of the desiccant absorption and regeneration effect of the entire rotor; at the same time, the desiccant wheel and the desiccant ring can be driven to vibrate by the rapid reciprocating vibration of the adjustment ring 12, thereby cleaning the internal pores of the rotor and obtaining a self-cleaning effect.

[0056] Specifically, in this example, the adjustment ring 12 includes a plurality of adjustment ring segments 121 and a plurality of telescopic sleeves 122. The adjustment ring segments 121 are slidably arranged on the support column 13. Two adjacent adjustment ring segments 121 are connected by telescopic sleeves 122. The telescopic sleeves 122 are located between two adjacent support columns 13. The plurality of adjustment ring segments 121 and the plurality of telescopic sleeves 122 are enclosed and connected to form the adjustment ring 12. In the process of the adjustment ring 12 sliding on the support column 13 along the extension direction of the support column 13, the adjustment ring segment 121 and the telescopic sleeve 122 are relatively displaced to achieve overall expansion or contraction. The adjustment ring segment 121 and the telescopic sleeve 122 can slide relative to each other. This method can maintain excellent self-sealing performance and a long service life.

[0057] In practical applications, the dehumidification wheel further includes a fourth driving mechanism for driving the adjustment ring 12 to move and expand or contract. The fourth driving mechanism can realize automatic and expected movement of the adjustment ring 12, or even reciprocating vibration.

[0058] Specifically, the fourth driving mechanism includes a plurality of driving members (not shown, for example, they may be cylinders or motors, etc.), each driving member corresponds to an adjusting ring segment 121, the driving member is connected to the adjusting ring segment 121 by transmission and drives the adjusting ring segment 121 to move, thereby driving the adjusting ring 12 to move. Further, the driving member may be arranged in the following two ways: the first way: the support column 13 is a hollow structure and has pores extending along its own extension direction on both sides, the driving member is arranged in the hollow structure of the support column 13 and is connected to the adjusting ring segment 121 by transmission through the pores; the second way: the driving member is arranged on the outside of the rotating wheel body 11; the driving member sequentially passes through the rotating wheel body 11, the hygroscopic ring and is connected to the adjusting ring segment 121 by transmission, or the driving member is connected to the adjusting ring segment 121 by transmission from the outside of the hygroscopic ring.

[0059] In this example, the density of the moisture absorption wheel and the density of the moisture absorption ring can be different, so as to realize the density differentiation setting, and the difference can be different at the time of initial preparation, or can be different after adjustment by the adjustment ring 12. In a specific case, the density of the moisture absorption ring can be set to be 1.5-2 times the density of the moisture absorption wheel. In another specific case, the density of the moisture absorption ring can be set to be consistent with the density of the moisture absorption wheel, so that the density of the wheel body at any position of its width is consistent, so as to obtain the function of a conventional dehumidification wheel.

[0060] In this example, the moisture absorption wheel and the moisture absorption ring have a honeycomb structure respectively. This structure can provide more pores to obtain a better moisture absorption effect, and this structure is also easy to regenerate.

[0061] In this example, the dehumidification wheel also includes a plurality of photo sensors regularly arranged along the length direction of the support column 13 and used to monitor the dehumidification wheel and / or the dehumidification ring. The plurality of photo sensors are oriented in the same direction and are parallel to the axial direction of the wheel body 11. It should be appreciated that the arrangement of the photo sensors can accurately monitor the honeycomb density of the wheel.

[0062] This example also provides a method for using the above rotary dehumidifier, which includes one or more of the following steps:

[0063] (a) When the dehumidification effect needs to be improved, the dehumidification mechanism is directed toward the moisture absorption ring position, and the dehumidification fan 23 is started to make the air flow pass through the moisture absorption ring position for dehumidification; when the dehumidification effect needs to be reduced, the dehumidification mechanism is directed toward the moisture absorption wheel position, and the dehumidification fan 23 is started to make the air flow pass through the moisture absorption wheel position for dehumidification;

[0064] (b) When the dehumidification efficiency needs to be improved, the regeneration fan 21 is moved away from the rotation axis position, thereby expanding the dehumidification zone area corresponding to the dehumidification mechanism; when the regeneration fan 21 moves toward the rotation axis position, the regeneration zone position corresponding to the regeneration mechanism becomes larger, thereby improving the regeneration efficiency;

[0065] (c) When the dehumidification efficiency is significantly reduced, the radial vibration of the adjustment ring 12 is started to achieve self-cleaning of the wheel mechanism.

[0066] In this example, the rotor is radially divided into a desiccant wheel and a desiccant ring arranged on the outer ring of the desiccant wheel, thereby providing differentiated desiccant effects at various positions on the rotor surface. An air flow exchange mechanism is also provided, the working direction of which can move on the rotor surface. By adjusting the directions of the dehumidification mechanism and the regeneration mechanism, the desiccant effect of the rotor can be quickly and effectively adjusted.

[0067] At the same time, the rotating wheel in this example is provided with a support column 13, and the other end of the support column 13 is connected to the wheel axle 14, the support column 13 provides stable support for the rotating wheel, and can also stabilize the hygroscopic ring and the hygroscopic wheel, to prevent direct collision between the hygroscopic ring and the hygroscopic wheel during rotation, which affects the service life of the device; and an adjustment ring 12 is provided between the hygroscopic ring and the hygroscopic wheel, and the adjustment ring 12 is movably connected to the support column 13. On the one hand, the adjustment ring 12 can fine-tune the hygroscopic ring and the hygroscopic wheel, and appropriately compress or expand them, so as to further expand the adjustment range of the hygroscopic effect. On the other hand, the adjustment ring 12 can perform high-frequency reciprocating vibration, thereby driving the rotating wheel mechanism to vibrate, which has a cleaning effect on the inside. It should also be noted that the adjusting ring 12 in the present invention is provided with a telescopic sleeve 122 in its own length direction, so that the adjusting ring 12 can always maintain its own sealing during the expansion process, thereby extending its service life.

[0068] In this example, the dehumidification mechanism and the regeneration mechanism are also connected to a radial moving device (such as a robotic arm, etc.). By adjusting the position of the dehumidification fan 23 and the regeneration fan 21, the size of the regeneration area and the dehumidification area can be adjusted, so that the control device can perform controllable adjustments between the dehumidification efficiency and the dehumidification effect.

[0069] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and their purpose is to enable people familiar with this technology to understand the contents of the present invention and implement them accordingly. They cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
