Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of plate heat exchanger, and particularly relates to a plate heat exchanger assembly and an automatic drying device for starch product production. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the prior art, although the starch product drying equipment is provided with a condensate water collecting structure, generally no condensate water waste heat recovery structure is provided. For example, CN202211342072.5 discloses a heat exchange plate module and a gas-gas plate heat exchanger adapted thereto. When the cold and hot exchange of gas is carried out, the liquid moving forward is attached to the surface of the vertical or horizontal inclined strip, and is collected downward together due to the action of gravity, so as to avoid the water moving with the gas to the next equipment, improve the service life of the equipment, and ensure the normal operation of the equipment. When the liquid in the liquid collecting pipe reaches a certain weight, the sealing gasket moves downward, so that the water in the liquid collecting pipe is discharged through the gap between the fixed pipe and the sealing gasket, avoiding the phenomenon of air leakage in the drainage operation, and ensuring the heat exchange performance.

[0003] Although some condensate water waste heat recovery structures are installed, the generation of condensate water is related to the humidity of the starch product and the drying degree of the starch product during the drying process of the starch product. Therefore, the generation of condensate water is not quantitative when the starch product is dried. Only when the humidity of the starch product is large and the amount of condensate water collected is large, the condensate water has heat exchange value.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present application.

[0019] An automatic drying device for starch product production is an important equipment in starch product processing, which is used for drying starch products such as vermicelli and dough skin, including air flow dryer, belt dryer, rotary flash dryer and other types. In the prior art, polyurethane rock wool boards are generally spliced into a sealed drying house. Left and right circulating flow channels or up and down circulating flow channels can be arranged in the drying house. High temperature resistant flow fans are arranged in the flow channels to drive hot air to circulate and generate turbulence. At the same time, a hot air machine 7 is provided in the drying house to provide drying hot air. A waste heat recovery heat exchanger 8 is used for waste heat recovery and moisture discharge.

[0020] However, in the prior art, although a condensate water collecting structure is provided, a condensate water waste heat recovery structure is generally not provided. For example, CN202211342072.5 discloses a heat exchange plate module and a gas-gas plate heat exchanger adapted thereto. In the heat exchanger, the liquid moving forward is attached to the surface of the vertical or horizontal inclined strip and is collected together downward due to the action of gravity to avoid the water moving with the gas to the next device, thereby improving the service life of the device and ensuring the normal operation of the device. When the liquid in the liquid collecting pipe reaches a certain weight, the sealing gasket moves downward, so that the water in the liquid collecting pipe is discharged through the gap between the fixed pipe and the sealing gasket, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of air leakage during the drainage operation and ensuring the heat exchange performance.

[0021] Although some condensate water waste heat recovery structures are installed, the generation of condensate water during the drying process of the starch product is related to the humidity of the starch product and the drying degree of the starch product. Therefore, the generation of condensate water during the drying of the starch product is not quantitative. Only when the humidity of the starch product is high and the amount of condensate water collected is large, the condensate water has heat exchange value. When the amount of condensate water is small, the heat is quickly lost and cannot be exchanged from the condensate water.

[0022] Therefore, the present application provides an automatic drying device for starch product production, which is provided with a plate heat exchange assembly inside. The amount and temperature of the condensate water can be automatically introduced into the air for heat exchange. When the air and the condensate water are stable, one part of the heat exchanged condensate water is discharged, and the other part of the air is introduced into the drying room, so that the waste heat of the condensate water can be fully utilized.

A guide fan 4 is arranged on the up-down circulating air return plate 5 near the inlet and outlet door 1. The high-temperature resistant circular flow fan group 6 is spaced apart from the left end of the heat preservation board house 2.

A dehumidified air outlet 9 of the waste heat recovery heat exchanger 8 is communicated to the outside. An air outlet 12 of the waste heat recovery heat exchanger 8 is communicated to the inside of the heat preservation board house 2.

The second bimetallic strip 54 is connected to the second heat-conducting ring 52 located at the front condensation connector 49 end in the second flow channel 61. The first bimetallic strip 53 and the second bimetallic strip 54 are spaced apart and bent in the same direction, both bending upwards. A magnetic ring 60 is provided in the third flow channel 63. The magnetic ring 60 is connected to the electromagnet 55. A return spring 59 is provided in the magnetic ring 60. A switch 57 is connected to the upper and lower ends of the return spring 59. A DC flow channel is provided at the end of the switch 57 near the magnetic ring 60, and a right-angle flow channel is provided at the end of the switch 57 away from the magnetic ring 60. When the temperature of the condensate on the lower side is greater than the temperature of the air on the upper side, the bending degree of the second bimetallic strip 54 is greater than that of the first bimetallic strip 53, so that the second bimetallic strip 54 overlaps with the first bimetallic strip 53. When the second bimetallic strip 54 overlaps with the first bimetallic strip 53, electricity is supplied to the inside of the electromagnet 55, and the two switching switches 57 move outward under the action of the reset spring 59. The switching switches 57 move away from the magnetic ring 60. The DC guide channel of the upper switching switch 57 is connected to the first flow channel 56, so that the front air connector 50 and the rear air connector 46 of the first flow channel 56 are connected. The DC guide channel of the lower switching switch 57 is connected to the second flow channel 61, so that the front condenser connector 49 and the rear condenser connector 47 of the second flow channel 61 are connected. When the temperature of the condensate in the condenser coil 38 is less than or equal to the temperature of the air in the air pipe 39, the second bimetallic strip 54 does not overlap the first bimetallic strip 53, power is supplied to the electromagnet 55, the magnetic ring 60 generates a magnetic force, which overcomes the elastic force of the return spring 59 and moves the switching switch 57 inward to approach the magnetic ring 60. The right-angled flow guide of the upper switching switch 57 is connected to the first flow channel 56 and the third flow channel 63, so that the front air joint 50 of the first flow channel 56 and the upper air joint 45 of the third flow channel 63 are in communication, and the right-angled flow guide of the lower switching switch 57 is connected to the second flow channel 61 and the third flow channel 63, so that the front condensate joint 49 of the second flow channel 61 and the lower condensate joint 48 of the third flow channel 63 are in communication. In this way, when the temperature of the condensate in the condenser coil 38 is greater than the temperature of the air in the air pipe 39, the air can enter the next section of the air pipe 39, and the condensate can enter the next section of the condenser coil 38, so as to continue the heat exchange operation. When the temperature of the condensate in the condenser coil 38 is less than or equal to the temperature of the air in the air pipe 39, the air in the air pipe 39 is sent into the straight-flow air duct of the plate heat exchange assembly for heat exchange and then into the heat preservation board house 2, and the condensate is directly discharged through the lower condensate joint 48, so as to fully utilize the waste heat of the condensate.
