Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Example 1 like Figure 1 As shown, a chemithermomechanical pulping system includes a wood chip washing and impregnation unit 1, a pulping and bleaching unit 2, a pulp washing unit 3, a second-stage pulping unit 4, a third-stage pulping unit 5, and a screening and pulp residue regrinding unit 6 connected in sequence. The wood chip washing and impregnation unit 1, the pulping and bleaching unit 2, the second-stage pulping unit 4, and the third-stage pulping unit 5 are all existing equipment.

[0021] like Figures 2-5 As shown, the washing mechanism 3 includes a drum vacuum washer, which includes a housing 8 and a rotating drum 9 inside the housing 8. The rotating drum 9 is driven to rotate by a motor and is divided into a vacuum washing zone and a stripping and exhaust zone. An air scraper 10 is fixed inside the housing 8 on the stripping side of the rotating drum 9.

[0022] The drum 9 has circumferentially distributed chambers 11, which are separated by partitions 12. Corrugated filter plates 13 are fixed inside the chambers 11. Filter screens 14 are wrapped around the outside of the corrugated filter plates 13. A pull plate 16 is placed axially on the outside of the filter screen 14 at the position corresponding to the partition 12. Both ends of the drum 9 are provided with elastic moving parts that correspond one-to-one with the pull plates 16. The elastic moving parts include elastic telescopic rods 17. The moving end of the elastic telescopic rod 17 moves radially and is connected to the pull plate 16. The other end is fixedly connected to the end of the drum 9.

[0023] A lifting assembly is provided on the casing 8 on the pulp-stripping side of the drum 9. The lifting assembly causes the pull plate 16 to move radially outward. The lifting assembly is located on the feeding side of the air scraper 10. The lifting assembly includes a top block 18. The side of the top block 18 away from the air scraper 10 is a first inclined surface, and the other side is a vertical surface. The moving end of the elastic telescopic rod 17 is a second inclined surface on the side close to the first inclined surface. As the drum 9 rotates, the second inclined surface moves radially outward along the first inclined surface, and the moving end drives the pull plate 16 to move radially outward.

[0024] The material layer attached to the drum 9 is moved to the stripping side. The lifting component drives the pull plate 16 to move radially outward through the elastic moving part. During the radial outward movement of the pull plate 16, the material layer and the filter screen 14 will be initially separated, reducing the bonding strength between the two. Because the moving distance is small, the material layer will not break. Because the bonding strength between the two is reduced, it is easier for the air scraper 10 to strip the slurry.

[0025] Example 2 This embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1, except that, as Figure 6 and 7 As shown, a conveying trough 19 is also fixed inside the casing 8 on the pulping side of the rotary drum 9. The discharge end of the air scraper 10 is located above the conveying trough 19. A motor-driven conveying spiral shaft 20 is installed inside the conveying trough 19. A guide rod 21 is fixed to the upper edge of the conveying trough 19. A cutting mesh 22 is installed at the upper end of the conveying trough 19. The cutting mesh 22 slides vertically along the guide rod 21. A support spring 24 is fitted on the guide rod 21 below the cutting mesh 22.

[0026] Both ends of the conveying screw shaft 20 are fixed with reducing wheels 25, and the lower end of the cutting mesh 22 is fixed with a fixing block 26 that cooperates with the reducing wheels 25. The reducing wheels 25 rotate synchronously with the conveying screw shaft 20. The material layer on the drum 9 enters the upper side of the cutting mesh 22 through the stripping scraper, and then the cutting mesh 22 cuts and falls into the conveying trough 19. It is then further conveyed and crushed by the conveying screw shaft 20. As the conveying screw shaft 20 rotates, when the longer end of the reducing wheel 25 rotates to the fixing block 26, it pushes the fixing block 26 and the cutting mesh 22 upward. This end moves away from the fixing block 26. Due to self-repositioning, the fixing block 26 and the cutting mesh 22 intermittently vibrate the cutting mesh 22, which facilitates the smooth discharge of the material layer on the cutting mesh 22.

[0027] A spray pipe 27 is fixed above the cutting mesh 22, and a downward-facing spray head is fixed on the spray pipe 27. Diluent is sprayed onto the cutting mesh 22 through the spray pipe 27 and the spray head, which washes the cutting mesh 22 and at the same time the diluent falls into the conveying tank 19. The conveying spiral shaft 20 can simultaneously stir and dilute the slurry while conveying it.

[0028] Example 3 This embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1 or 2, except that, as shown in Figure 8 The slurry residue regrinding mechanism 6 comprises a shell 28, a rotating shaft 30 driven by a first driving motor 29 is arranged axially in the shell 28. A grinding roller 31 is fixed on the rotating shaft 30, a feeding screw blade 32 is fixed on the rotating shaft 30 at the feeding side of the grinding roller 31, and a discharging screw blade 33 is fixed on the rotating shaft 30 at the discharging side of the grinding roller 31, the pitch of the discharging screw blade 33 is smaller than that of the feeding screw blade 32. The feeding screw blade 32 is used for feeding and conveying the slurry, the discharging screw blade 33 is used for conveying and discharging the thick pulp, the pitch of the discharging screw blade 33 is small, which slows down the conveying of the material and prolongs the regrinding time of the slurry in the grinding roller 31 and the screen cylinder 34.

[0029] A rotating screen cylinder 34 is arranged outside the grinding roller 31, one end of the screen cylinder 34 rotates through the shell 28 and is fixed with a transmission gear ring 35, the transmission gear ring 35 is engaged with a driving gear, the driving gear is connected with a second driving motor 36, the other end of the screen cylinder 34 rotates through the shell 1 at the same side. The second driving motor 36 drives the screen cylinder 34 to rotate through the driving gear and the transmission gear ring 35. The screen cylinder 34 rotates in the opposite direction or at a differential speed with the grinding roller 31, so as to facilitate the regrinding of the slurry residue between the grinding roller 31 and the screen.

[0030] The outer wall of the screen cylinder 34 is fixed with a spiral conveying blade 37, and a spiral conveying groove 38 is arranged on the grinding roller 31, the conveying directions of the spiral conveying groove 38 and the spiral conveying blade 37 are opposite. One end of the shell 28 is fixed with a feeding port 39, the feeding port 39 is communicated with the inner side of the screen cylinder 34, the other end of the shell 28 is fixed with a thick pulp outlet 40, the thick pulp outlet 40 is communicated with the inner side of the screen cylinder 34; the lower side of the shell 28 is fixed with a fine pulp outlet 41 near the one end of the feeding port 39. The spiral conveying blade 37 drives the fine pulp to move towards the fine pulp outlet 41 and is discharged through the fine pulp outlet 41.

[0031] The slurry enters the screen cylinder 34 through the feeding port 39, the feeding screw blade 32 drives the slurry to feed and convey, the fine pulp in the slurry penetrates into the shell 28 through the screen cylinder 34, and the remaining slurry residue enters between the grinding roller 31 and the screen cylinder 34 for regrinding, the spiral conveying groove 38 is used for conveying the slurry residue, the fine pulp formed after regrinding penetrates into the shell 28 through the screen cylinder 34, and the final remaining thick residue is conveyed through the discharging screw blade 33 and discharged through the thick pulp outlet 40; the fine pulp entering the shell 28 is discharged through the fine pulp outlet 41 by the spiral conveying blade 37 with the rotation of the screen cylinder 34.

[0032] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
