[0018] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] For ease of explanation rather than limitation, the side of the degassing and unloading device closer to the center of the air bladder is defined as the inside, and the opposite side is defined as the outside.

[0022] Example

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, a degassing and unloading device includes a buffer chamber 1, inside which is an air bladder 2, forming a chamber 3 with a variable volume between the buffer chamber 1 and the air bladder 2. The air bladder 2 and the buffer chamber 1 are adapted in size and shape. When the volume of the chamber 3 increases, the air bladder 2 is compressed, and the volume inside the air bladder 2 decreases; it also includes an exhaust filter device for connecting the outside of the degassing and unloading device and the inside of the air bladder 2.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the lower end of the buffer bin 1 is conical, and an air hammer 18 is provided on the conical sidewall of the lower end of the buffer bin 1. In this embodiment, preferably, the air hammer 18 is a hopper air hammer. Both the upper and lower ends of the buffer bin 1 are provided with annular connecting flanges 14, and both the upper and lower ends of the airbag 2 are provided with annular flanges 15 whose dimensions are adapted to the connecting flanges 14. The two annular flanges 15 are respectively fixed to the outside of the two connecting flanges 14. The upper end of the buffer bin 1 is provided with a receiving pipe 12, which is connected to the inner cavity of the airbag 2; an upper discharge valve 16 is provided on the receiving pipe 12. The lower end of the buffer bin 1 is connected to a discharge pipe 13, which is connected to the inner cavity of the airbag 2, and a lower discharge valve 17 is provided on the discharge pipe 13.

[0025] Specifically, the lower end of the receiving pipe 12 is provided with a connecting flange 14. The annular flange 15 at the upper end of the airbag 2 is located between the connecting flange 14 at the upper end of the buffer chamber 1 and the connecting flange 14 at the lower end of the receiving pipe 12. The two connecting flanges 14 are fixedly connected by fasteners. The upper end of the discharge pipe 13 is provided with a connecting flange 14. The annular flange 15 at the lower end of the airbag 2 is located between the connecting flange 14 at the lower end of the buffer chamber 1 and the connecting flange 14 at the upper end of the discharge pipe 13. The two connecting flanges 14 are fixedly connected by fasteners. Preferably, the fasteners are a combination of bolts and nuts. With the above structural design, the annular flanges 15 at both ends of the airbag 2 are fixed to the connecting flanges 14 at both ends of the buffer chamber 1, and the clamping between the annular flanges 15 and the connecting flanges 14 is achieved by the fasteners, thus sealing the airbag 2 and the buffer chamber 1, making the chamber 3 a sealed chamber. When not in use, the airbag 2 is in close contact with the inner wall of the buffer chamber 1.

[0026] like Figure 1As shown, the buffer chamber 1 has a second connecting pipe 9 on its side wall that communicates with the chamber 3; the exhaust filtration device includes a first connecting pipe 4, the end of which is connected to a microporous filter rod 5, and the other end of the microporous filter rod 5 is a closed end. The microporous filter rod 5 is located inside the airbag 2. Specifically, the first connecting pipe 4 is fixed to and passes through the receiving pipe 12. The end of the first connecting pipe 4 is bent downwards and connected to the microporous filter rod 5; the microporous filter rod 5 is vertically arranged and located in the middle of the airbag 2. The microporous filter rod 5 is a commercially available standard product, and its structure will not be described in detail. The interior of the airbag 2 is connected to the external atmosphere through the microporous filter rod 5 and the first connecting pipe 4. When gas is filled into the chamber 3, the volume of the chamber 3 increases, the airbag 2 is compressed, and the gas inside the airbag 2 can be discharged through the microporous filter rod 5 and the first connecting pipe 4. When the airbag 2 needs to be restored, there are two methods. First, air is injected into the airbag 2 through the first connecting pipe 4 and the microporous filter rod 5, causing the airbag 2 to gradually deflate. The volume of the chamber 3 decreases, and the gas inside the chamber 3 is discharged through the second connecting pipe 9. After deflation, the airbag 2 will adhere tightly to the inner wall of the buffer chamber 1. Second, a vacuum is created in the chamber 3 through the second connecting pipe 9, making the gas pressure inside the chamber 3 lower than the gas pressure inside the airbag 2. The airbag 2 gradually deflates, and external air enters the airbag 2 through the first connecting pipe 4 and the microporous filter rod 5 until the airbag 2 adheres tightly to the inner wall of the buffer chamber 1. Both methods can achieve the deflation of the airbag 2. In this embodiment, the first method is preferred for deflation of the airbag 2.

[0027] When air is pumped into the airbag 2 through the first connecting tube 4 and the microporous filter rod 5, the blocked micropores on the microporous filter rod 5 will be blown open in the opposite direction, which has the function of cleaning the microporous filter rod 5.

[0028] In this preferred embodiment, the end of the first connecting pipe 4 is connected to a first exhaust valve 7, a first air blowing valve 8, and a first pressure gauge 19 via a four-way connector 6. All three valves are located outside the degassing and unloading device. The end of the second connecting pipe 9 is connected to a second exhaust valve 10, a second air blowing valve 11, and a second pressure gauge 20 via a four-way connector 6. All three valves are located outside the degassing and unloading device. The first exhaust valve 7, the first air blowing valve 8, the second exhaust valve 10, and the second air blowing valve 11 are all solenoid valves.

[0029] Before using the degassing and unloading device, the receiving pipe 12 needs to be installed on the discharge port at the lower end of the powder collecting device 21. Open the first blowing valve 8 and the second exhaust valve 10, and close the first exhaust valve 7 and the second blowing valve 11. Inflate the airbag 2 through the first blowing valve 8, increasing the volume of the airbag 2 and decreasing the volume of the chamber 3. The gas in the chamber 3 is discharged sequentially through the second connecting pipe 9 and the second exhaust valve 10. Observe the pressure inside the airbag 2 through the first pressure gauge 19. When the pressure inside the airbag 2 reaches 0.1-0.2 MPa, maintain this pressure for 5-10 seconds to make the airbag 2 fit as close as possible to the inner wall of the buffer chamber 1. Then stop inflating the airbag 2.

[0030] In use, first open the upper discharge valve 16 and close the lower discharge valve 17. The loose powder in the powder collection device 21 falls into the buffer bin 1 through the receiving pipe 12. After the buffer bin 1 is filled with powder, close the upper discharge valve 16.

[0031] Then, the air contained in the micro-powder inside the airbag 2 is expelled. The first exhaust valve 7 and the second air-blowing valve 11 are opened, and the first air-blowing valve 8 and the second exhaust valve 10 are closed. Air is injected into the chamber 3 between the buffer chamber 1 and the airbag 2 through the second air-blowing valve 11, increasing the volume of the chamber 3 and compressing the airbag 2. The volume of the airbag 2 decreases, and the air contained in the micro-powder inside the airbag 2 is collected through the microporous filter rod 5 and discharged sequentially through the first connecting pipe 4, the four-way valve 6, and the first exhaust valve 7. The pressure inside the chamber 3 is observed through the second pressure gauge 20. When the pressure inside the chamber 3 reaches 0.1–0.2 MPa, this pressure is maintained for 10–20 seconds to expel as much air as possible from the micro-powder inside the airbag 2. This process removes 90% of the gas contained in the micro-powder.

[0032] Finally, discharge the micro powder and reset the airbag 2. Open the bottom discharge valve 17 and start the air hammer 18 to discharge the micro powder in the airbag 2 through the discharge pipe 13. The micro powder will be collected or packaged. After all the micro powder in the airbag 2 has been discharged, close the bottom discharge valve 17 and the air hammer 18. Open the first air blowing valve 8 and the second exhaust valve 10, and close the first exhaust valve 7 and the second air blowing valve 11. Inflate the airbag 2 through the first air blowing valve 8, so that the volume of the airbag 2 increases and the volume of the chamber 3 decreases. The gas in the chamber 3 is discharged sequentially through the second connecting pipe 9 and the second exhaust valve 10. Observe the pressure inside the airbag 2 through the first pressure gauge 19. When the pressure inside the airbag 2 reaches 0.1-0.2 MPa, maintain this pressure for 5-10 seconds to make the airbag 2 fit as close as possible to the inner wall of the buffer chamber 1.

[0033] Following the steps described above, the next work cycle is performed, continuously degassing the micro-powder entering the air bladder 2. Alternatively, this degassing and unloading device can also be used independently of the powder collection device 21 without being installed on it.

[0034] In summary, the degassing and unloading device of the present invention can remove more than 90% of the gas contained in ultrafine powder, and the volume of ultrafine powder with a relatively light specific gravity can be compressed to 50% to 60% of the original volume, with high compression efficiency; it facilitates the packaging and transportation of ultrafine powder, and has the advantages of simple structure, convenient operation and low manufacturing cost.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
