AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Due to the different particle sizes of the materials, large particles gradually settle to the bottom of the drying equipment under the action of gravity, while small particles remain suspended in the upper part of the material layer. This causes the small particles in the upper layer to enter the over-drying stage too early, resulting in local melting and adhesion, which affects the appearance quality of the polyester chips crystallization.

Method used

The drying drum employs a layered module, including a support unit and a layering unit. Through the coordinated movement of the lifting frame, isolation plate, and baffle plate, the material is separated and dried in layers. This ensures that small-diameter materials are lifted and dried first to avoid over-drying, while hot air continues to dry large-particle materials through the vents until all materials are dried and then separated and discharged.

Benefits of technology

This effectively avoids over-drying of small-particle materials, shortens the drying time of large-particle materials, improves drying efficiency and quality, and ensures the appearance stability of polyester chip crystals.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of drying equipment, in particular to a polyester chip crystallization drying equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] Polyester chips generally refer to polyester raw materials obtained by polymerization and generally processed into about 4*5*2 millimeter flaky particles. The process route of polyester production includes direct esterification and ester exchange. The PTA method has the advantages of low raw material consumption and short reaction time, and has become the main process and the preferred technical route of polyester since the 1980s. A large-scale production line is a continuous production process, and a semi-continuous and intermittent production process is suitable for medium and small production devices. The use of polyester includes fibers, various containers, packaging materials, films, films, engineering plastics and other fields. The performance of pet film is affected by the moisture of polyester chip crystallization. Therefore, a fluidized bed is used for drying the moisture of polyester chip crystallization. Therefore, a polyester chip crystallization drying equipment is provided.

[0003] A polyester chip crystallization drying equipment for a PET film production line is disclosed in Chinese Patent No. CN221881994U, which comprises a base and a support plate. The top end of the base is provided with a support plate. One end of the support plate is provided with a turnover shaft, and the support plate is movably connected to the base through the turnover shaft. A rotating motor is installed at the top end of the support plate. The output end of the rotating motor is provided with a rotating shaft. The surface of the rotating shaft is provided with a gear. The patent not only realizes convenient feeding and rotary drying of polyester chip crystallization, facilitates efficient tumbling rotation driving of polyester chip crystallization, avoids damage to polyester chip crystallization caused by local high temperature, increases the wind drying area and uniformity of polyester chip crystallization, and improves the convenience of polyester chip crystallization discharge operation control, and improves the drying quality and efficiency of polyester chip crystallization.

[0004] During the drying of polyester chip crystallization, due to the different particle sizes of the materials, large particle materials gradually settle to the bottom of the drying equipment under the action of gravity, while small particle materials are suspended in the upper part of the material layer. This particle size grading leads to differences in drying rate in the vertical direction. The small particles in the upper layer are first completed. The surface water is analyzed, and under the action of continuous hot air, the materials in this area will enter the over-drying stage too early, which will cause the small particles in the upper layer to be locally melted and bonded during continuous drying, thereby causing appearance defects of polyester chip crystallization and seriously affecting the stability of product quality. SUMMARY

The axis of the drying cylinder 11 extends in the vertical direction, and the bottom of the drying cylinder 11 is in a conical structure.

[0036] The annular cylinder 19 is fixedly installed inside the drying cylinder 11 near the bottom, is coaxially arranged with the drying cylinder 11, the outer peripheral wall of the annular cylinder 19 is fixed to the inner wall of the drying cylinder 11, and the annular cylinder 19 is located above the conical structure of the bottom of the drying cylinder 11.

[0038] The drying cylinder 11 is provided with a feeding port 15 near the top, the feeding port 15 is communicated with the upper chamber 14, so that the material can enter the inside of the drying cylinder 11. The drying cylinder 11 is also provided with an exhaust port 16, which is also communicated with the upper chamber 14, for discharging the gas generated in the drying process. In the embodiment, the feeding port 15 and the exhaust port 16 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right. The conical bottom of the drying cylinder 11 is provided with a discharging pipe 17, which is communicated with the discharging chamber 12, so that the dried material can be discharged. The air inlet pipe 18 is arranged on the outer side wall of the conical part of the bottom of the drying cylinder 11, and the air inlet pipe 18 is communicated with the discharging chamber 12. The air inlet pipe 18 is communicated with a gas source, such as a hot air blower, and the heat source enters the inside of the drying cylinder 11 through the air inlet pipe 18. The hot air enters the discharging chamber 12 through the air inlet pipe 18, and the hot air surges upward and gradually rises to the lower chamber 13 and the upper chamber 14. The hot air will pass through the material in sequence, gradually heating the material and promoting crystallization drying.

[0039] It is particularly pointed out that the material will be dried in the lower chamber 13 and the upper chamber 14, and after drying, it will fall into the discharging chamber 12 and then be discharged through the discharging pipe 17, which will be described in detail later. The outlet of the discharging pipe 17 is provided with a control valve (not shown in the figure), which can adjust the discharging speed of the material according to needs. In addition, the outer wall of the drying cylinder 11 is covered with heat preservation material to reduce heat loss. The temperature of the hot air of the air inlet pipe 18 can be adjusted to meet the needs of different materials.

[0040] As Figure 2 With Figure 7As shown, the discharging module comprises a track 20, a lifting plate 21, a first motor 22, a driving shaft 23, a closing plate 24 and stirring blades 25. The track 20 is vertically arranged on each of the opposite sides of the frame 10, and the lifting plate 21 is vertically and slidingly installed on the track 20. A driving member (not shown in the figure) for driving the lifting plate 21 to lift is installed on the track 20, which can be a cylinder or a motor. The driving member can drive the lifting plate 21 to lift stably on the track 20. It is particularly pointed out that, in the embodiment, the lifting plate 21 is located below the drying cylinder 11.

[0041] The first motor 22 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the lifting plate 21, the output shaft of the first motor 22 extends along the vertical direction, and the driving shaft 23 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 22. The driving shaft 23 penetrates into the inside of the drying cylinder 11 upwardly, and in the embodiment, the driving shaft 23 penetrates through the discharging pipe 17 and sealingly and slidingly cooperates with the discharging pipe 17. The closing plate 24 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the driving shaft 23, and is perpendicular to the driving shaft 23 to form a material blocking surface. It is particularly emphasized that the closing plate 24 is in a circular structure, and is located at the bottom of the lower chamber 13, that is, the closing plate 24 separates the lower chamber 13 from the discharging chamber 12.

[0042] It is particularly pointed out that the closing plate 24 is located at the bottom of the annular cylinder 19, and sealingly and slidingly cooperates with the inner wall of the annular cylinder 19, that is, the outer peripheral wall of the closing plate 24 abuts against the inner wall of the annular cylinder 19. When the material to be dried enters the drying cylinder 11 through the feeding port 15, the closing plate 24 can bear the material. The closing plate 24 is provided with a plurality of gas permeable holes penetrating upwardly and downwardly, and the diameter of the gas permeable holes is smaller than the particle size of the material, that is, the gas permeable holes on the closing plate 24 can ensure that the hot air entering the discharging chamber 12 from the air inlet pipe 18 passes through the closing plate 24, and the hot air dries the material when passing through the material.

[0043] When the polyester chip crystalline material in the lower chamber 13 and the upper chamber 14 completes the drying work, the lifting plate 21 drives the driving shaft 23 to descend along the track 20, so that the closing plate 24 descends to leave the bottom of the annular cylinder 19, that is, the opening at the bottom of the annular cylinder 19 is opened, and all the polyester chip crystalline material in the lower chamber 13 and the upper chamber 14 falls into the discharging chamber 12, and then the polyester chip crystalline material is discharged from the discharging pipe 17.

[0044] A plurality of stirring blades 25 are fixedly installed on the driving shaft 23 and circumferentially fixedly installed on the driving shaft 23, rotate with the driving shaft 23, and are located in the discharging cavity 12. The stirring blades 25 can stir the material in the discharging cavity 12, prevent the material from being accumulated, and ensure that the material is smoothly discharged through the discharging pipe 17.

[0045] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the layering module includes a bearing unit and a layering unit.

[0046] The bearing unit includes a fixed cylinder 30, a fixed strip 31, a lifting frame 33, a top ring 34, a first spring 35, and a limiting plate 36.

[0047] The fixed cylinder 30 is fixedly installed in the upper chamber 14 and has the same inner diameter as the annular cylinder 19. The fixed cylinder 30 has an open structure at both upper and lower ends and is coaxially arranged with the drying cylinder 11. The fixed cylinder 30 is fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the fixed cylinder 30 and has a rectangular strip structure. One fixed strip 31 is symmetrically arranged on the front and rear side walls of the fixed cylinder 30. The length of the fixed strip 31 extends in the vertical direction. The fixed strip 31 is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the drying cylinder 11, so that the fixed cylinder 30 is fixedly installed on the drying cylinder 11 and the stability of the fixed cylinder 30 is ensured. The bottom of the fixed cylinder 30 is spaced apart from the annular cylinder 19 by a certain distance, and the upper end of the fixed cylinder 30 is lower than the height of the feeding port 15 and the exhaust port 16. The left and right side walls of the fixed cylinder 30 are each provided with a left-right through perforation 32, and the perforation 32 is located at the position close to the lower end of the fixed cylinder 30.

[0048] The lifting frame 33 is slidably arranged on the outer side of the fixed cylinder 30 and has a cylindrical structure. The diameter of the lifting frame 33 is smaller than the inner diameter of the drying cylinder 11. The top ring 34 is arranged on the upper surface of the lifting frame 33 and has an annular structure. The first spring 35 is arranged on the upper surface of the top ring 34. One end of the first spring 35 is fixed to the top ring 34, and the other end is connected to the drying cylinder 11. The first spring 35 provides elastic force for the reset of the lifting frame 33. The lifting frame 33 is provided with through holes in front and back. The front and rear fixed strips 31 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drying cylinder 11 through the corresponding through holes. In the initial state, the lower end of the lifting frame 33 abuts against the inclined section 191 of the annular cylinder 19, and a communication cavity 37 (as shown in Figure 5 is formed between the lifting frame 33 and the inner wall of the drying cylinder 11. The communication cavity 37 has an annular structure.

[0049] On the inner sidewall of the lifting frame 33, there are two limiting plates 36, one on each side. The limiting plates 36 are horizontally arranged, and each corresponds to a through hole 32 on the left or right side of the fixed cylinder 30. The limiting plates 36 extend into the fixed cylinder 30 through the corresponding through hole 32. When the limiting plates 36 are pushed upwards, they cause the lifting frame 33 to move upwards, compressing the first spring 35. The lower end of the lifting frame 33 disengages from the inclined section 191 on the annular cylinder 19, allowing the lower end of the connecting cavity 37 to connect with the lower chamber 13. The moving distance of the limiting plates 36 is determined by the height of the through holes 32, ensuring the stable rise of the lifting frame 33. When the limiting plates 36 return to their original position, the first spring 35 returns to its original state, the lifting frame 33 re-abuts against the inclined section 191, and the lower end of the connecting cavity 37 returns to a closed state.

A second motor 52 is mounted on the upper surface of the drying cylinder 11. The output end of the second motor 52 is connected to the driving gear 51. Thus, the second motor 52 drives the driven gear 50 to rotate through the driving gear 51, thereby causing the telescopic cylinder 40 to rotate.

The rotating shaft is provided with a torsional spring, one end of the torsional spring is connected with the rotating shaft, and the other end is connected with the connecting seat 63. The torsional spring can keep the isolation plates 64 in an inclined state. That is, in the initial state, the isolation plates 64 are all in the inclined state (as shown in Figure 9 , and the isolation plates 64 can be switched between the horizontal state and the inclined state.

[0058] The isolation plates 64 are all provided with air permeable holes. Like the air permeable holes on the sealing plate 24, the air permeable holes can ensure that the hot air passes through but the material particles cannot pass through. The isolation plate 64 includes an outer arc surface, two identical side surfaces and an inner flat surface. The rotating shaft is fixedly installed on the inner flat surface of the isolation plate 64. When the four isolation plates 64 are all in the horizontal state, the side plates of the adjacent two isolation plates 64 abut against each other, so that the four isolation plates 64 form a disc structure, and the diameter of the disc is the same as the inner diameter of the fixed cylinder 30.

[0059] The bottom of the bearing plate 61 is also fixedly connected with a pushing column 65, and the pushing column 65 is vertically arranged. The lower side of the isolation plate 64 is also provided with four shielding plates 70, and the shielding plates 70 are the same as the isolation plates 64 in structure, but the difference is that the shielding plates 70 are not provided with air permeable holes. The inner flat surface of the shielding plate 70 is provided with a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is horizontally rotatably installed on the driving rod 43. The rotating shaft is provided with a torsional spring, one end of the torsional spring is connected with the rotating shaft, and the other end is connected with the driving rod 43. Similarly, the shielding plates 70 are kept in the inclined state. That is, in the initial state, the shielding plates 70 are all in the inclined state (as shown inFigure 9 The isolation plates 64 can be switched between a horizontal state and an inclined state.

[0060] The end of the rotation axis of the shielding plates 70 is fixedly installed with a rotating block 71, which is consistent with the inclination angle of the shielding plates 70, and when the jacking columns 65 are lowered to abut against all the rotating blocks 71, the rotating blocks 71 can be driven to rotate to a horizontal state, so that all the shielding plates 70 are rotated to a horizontal state, and similarly, when the four shielding plates 70 are all in a horizontal state, the side plates of adjacent two shielding plates 70 abut against each other, so that the four shielding plates 70 form a disc structure, and the diameter of the disc is the same as the inner diameter of the fixed cylinder 30.

[0061] In operation, the material to be dried is added into the drying cylinder 11 through the feeding port 15, and the material falls above the closing plate 24, that is, the material is located in the lower chamber 13 and the upper chamber 14, and then hot air is introduced into the drying cylinder 11 through the air inlet pipe 18, and the hot air passes through the closing plate 24 and enters the lower chamber 13 and the upper chamber 14, and the hot air dries the material as it passes through the material, and the material is constantly “boiled” inside the drying cylinder 11, the second motor 52 drives the driven gear 50 to rotate through the driving gear 51, drives the telescopic cylinder 40 to rotate, drives the driving rod 43 to rotate, so that the isolation plates 64 and the shielding plates 70 rotate, and the material can be properly stirred, so that the material can be fully dried, and it is particularly noted that the rotation speed of the isolation plates 64 and the shielding plates 70 does not need to be particularly fast. The large-particle material gradually settles to the bottom of the drying device under the action of gravity, and the small-particle material is suspended in the upper part of the material layer.

[0062] After a period of drying, the small-particle material in the upper part of the material layer will first approach a dry state, the telescopic cylinder 42 drives the driving rod 43 to rise, and the isolation plates 64 rise together with the driving rod 43 until the four isolation plates 64 abut against the corresponding four abutting portions 41, and since the springs between the telescopic units on the telescopic cylinder 40 are connected, and the elastic force of the springs on the telescopic cylinder 40 is greater than the elastic force of the torsion springs on the isolation plates 64, as the isolation plates 64 rise, the four isolation plates 64 gradually rotate to a horizontal state, and the four isolation plates 64 form a disc structure, which lifts the uppermost small-particle material and separates it from the large-particle material below, so that the large-particle material below has more “boiling” space, and the drying time of the large-particle material is shortened, and at this time, the air holes on the isolation plates 64 can still ensure that the hot air passes through, and finally the small-particle material above the isolation plates 64 is dried.

[0063] After the small particle size material above is completely dried, the telescopic cylinder 42 continues to drive the driving rod 43 to rise, each telescopic unit on the telescopic cylinder 40 is compressed, and then the isolation plate 64 abuts against the limiting plate 36, when the limiting plate 36 is pushed upward, the lifting frame 33 is driven to move upward by the limiting plate 36, the first spring 35 is compressed, and the lower end of the lifting frame 33 is separated from the inclined section 191 on the annular cylinder 19, so that the lower end of the communication cavity 37 is communicated with the lower chamber 13. When the lifting frame 33 moves to the limit position, the driving rod 43 continues to rise, the isolation plate 64 and the bearing plate 61 and the sliding cylinder 60 are forced to descend, the tension spring 62 is stretched, and when the push column 65 descends and abuts against all the rotating blocks 71, the rotating blocks 71 can be driven to rotate to the horizontal state, so that all the shielding plates 70 are rotated to the horizontal state, when the four shielding plates 70 are all in the horizontal state, the side plates of adjacent two shielding plates 70 abut against each other, so that the four shielding plates 70 form a disc structure, and the diameter of the disc is the same as the inner diameter of the fixed cylinder 30, and the four shielding plates 70 are just located at the bottom position of the fixed cylinder 30, the four shielding plates 70 isolate the small particle size material completely dried above from the large particle material below, and the large particle material below is in the lower chamber 13.

[0064] The hot air passes through the large particle material below, enters the communication cavity 37, and finally is discharged from the exhaust port 16 after passing through the communication cavity 37, until the large particle material below is completely dried. The small particle size material above is effectively prevented from being over-dried.

[0065] When the polyester chip crystallization material in the lower chamber 13 and the upper chamber 14 completes the drying work, the lifting plate 21 drives the driving shaft 23 to descend along the track 20, so that the closing plate 24 descends and leaves the bottom of the annular cylinder 19, that is, the opening at the bottom of the annular cylinder 19 is opened, and all the polyester chip crystallization material in the lower chamber 13 and the upper chamber 14 falls into the discharging cavity 12, and then the polyester chip crystallization material is discharged from the discharge pipe 17. The stirring blade 25 can stir the material in the discharging cavity 12, prevent the material from accumulating, and ensure that the material passes through the discharge pipe 17 smoothly under the action of the stirring blade 25, so as to ensure that the discharging process is smooth and efficient.

[0066] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described above, it should be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present application, and those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, replacements and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present application.
