Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of soft water ion exchange treatment technology, specifically to an ion exchanger device for boiler soft water. Background Technology

[0002] In the production system of cigarette manufacturing enterprises, the softened water system is a crucial link in ensuring energy supply and production process stability. The softened water it transports directly provides the core water source for the boiler system, supporting the steam demand of key processes such as tobacco leaf rehydration, drying, and tobacco processing. However, pipe blockage in the softened water system has become a common problem restricting production efficiency. Once a blockage occurs, it can not only cause a sudden drop in water supply pressure and insufficient boiler inlet flow, leading to fluctuations in boiler water level and affecting steam quality and output, but it can also cause equipment damage due to pipe pressure buildup, increasing maintenance costs and downtime, and even indirectly affecting the moisture content and processing quality of cigarette products, violating the industry's stringent production standards.

[0003] Existing ion exchange systems, when treating boiler soft water, often exhibit a concentrated flow pattern during transport. This results in a hydraulically concentrated "cone-shaped" distribution of the soft water within the ion exchanger, leading to a velocity difference that is faster at the center and slower at the edges. Consequently, the distribution of boiler soft water is prone to unevenness. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ion exchanger device for boiler soft water to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] This invention provides an ion exchanger device for boiler soft water, comprising: a boiler tank; an ion exchange structure installed inside the boiler tank; and three support legs installed at the bottom edge of the boiler tank.

[0007] The ion exchange structure includes: a rotary drive assembly installed inside the boiler tank; an octagonal separation assembly connected to and driven by the rotary drive assembly; and a conical baffle structure disposed at the center inside the octagonal separation assembly. An infrared depth detection module is installed at the eccentric position on the top of the octagonal separation assembly.

[0008] The boiler tank has a drain pipe at the bottom center, which is rotatably connected to the octopus separation assembly via a sealing ring. The drain pipe is also connected to a liquid pump.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the top of the boiler tank is eccentrically connected to an upper cover by screws, and the top of the upper cover is connected to an input pipe by a control valve, the control valve being installed on the top of the upper cover.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a deceleration screen is installed on the inner top of the boiler tank. The deceleration screen is configured as a semi-circle with the central part protruding to the top, and the deceleration screen is positioned above the rotary drive assembly.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the rotary drive assembly includes:

[0012] An intermediate partition is installed inside the boiler tank. Through holes are provided on the left and right sides inside the intermediate partition, and a drive source is installed at the eccentric part of the bottom of the intermediate partition.

[0013] A drive rod is connected to the output end of the drive source. The drive rod is rotatably connected inside the intermediate partition. A synchronous gear belt is connected to the outer side of the top of the drive rod via a synchronous pulley. The synchronous gear belt is movably disposed on the top of the intermediate partition.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an assembly ring is connected to the inner side of the synchronous gear belt via a synchronous pulley. The assembly ring is rotatably connected to the center of the top of the intermediate partition plate, and an eight-claw separation assembly is installed on the inner side of the assembly ring.

[0015] The eight-claw separation assembly is rotatably connected inside the middle partition.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the eight-claw separation assembly includes:

[0017] A vertical exchange cylinder is rotatably connected to the center inside the middle partition plate. The vertical exchange cylinder is installed on the outside of the assembly ring, and two sets of side-connecting cylinders are connected to the outside of the vertical exchange cylinder.

[0018] A protective sleeve is fitted over the outside of the bottom of the side-connecting straight cylinder, and the protective sleeve and the outside of the bottom of the side-connecting straight cylinder have several inlets.

[0019] A bottom sealing cover is threaded to the outside of the bottom of the side-connecting straight cylinder, and the bottom sealing cover is movably connected to the inside of an embedded protrusion, which is installed on the inner wall of the boiler tank.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, each group of side-connecting straight cylinders consists of eight side straight cylinders, with the multiple side straight cylinders arranged alternately on the upper and lower sides.

[0021] The vertical exchange cylinder has a conical baffle structure located on the side of the side-connecting cylinder. The bottom of the vertical exchange cylinder is fitted with an output hose by screws, and the bottom of the output hose is connected to the top of the input pipe by a sealing ring.

[0022] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the conical baffle structure includes:

[0023] A conical insert block is installed inside the vertical exchange cylinder. The conical insert block is located at the bottom of the top side of the cylinder, and the bottom of the conical insert block is connected to the vertical insert cylinder.

[0024] The vertical embedding cylinder is located at the center inside the vertical exchange cylinder, and its outer side is connected to the side-connecting cylinder located at the bottom. The vertical embedding cylinder is also connected to the output hose.

[0025] The conical embedded block is configured as a cone shape that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom.

[0026] Compared with existing technologies, one or more of the above technical solutions have the following beneficial effects:

[0027] 1. In ion exchanger devices used for boiler soft water, the "octagonal structure and staggered upper and lower layers" design improves the mechanical conditions of the liquid fluid (soft water). It breaks down the previously concentrated high-velocity "points" into multiple low-velocity "surfaces," allowing the water to flow evenly across the entire resin bed cross-section. This creates a "two-stage distribution" operation. The upper side-connecting straight cylinder pre-distributes the fluid (soft water), while the lower side-connecting straight cylinder further refines the distribution, ensuring that the inlet water enters the resin bed at multiple points along the radial direction at equal intervals. This eliminates the hydraulic "cone" distribution caused by traditional single-point inlet water, and eliminates the velocity difference problem of "fast at the center and slow at the edge," achieving uniform fluid (soft water) distribution. Furthermore, the staggered arrangement of the upper and lower octagonal branch pipes fills the "dead corners" not covered by the upper layer, controlling the cross-sectional velocity difference to within 5%, avoiding the problem of excessively high local velocities directly impacting the resin and forming channeling or gushing.

[0028] 2. In ion exchanger devices used for boiler soft water, the staggered design of the upper and lower layers makes the fluid (soft water) more dispersed when entering the resin bed, avoiding direct impact of local high-speed water flow on the resin particles. At the same time, after uniform water distribution, the local flow velocity peak of the resin bed decreases, the impact kinetic energy of the resin particles is reduced, and the uniform low-turbulence water flow keeps the resin particles in a relatively "static fluidized" state during operation and backwashing, significantly reducing particle collisions and mechanical friction with the device wall;

[0029] It should be noted that, due to the uniform flow field, the resin layer is no longer impacted by localized high-speed jets, significantly reducing the fluctuations in shear force and pressure difference between particles. The annual breakage rate of resin particles can be reduced from 3% to below 1%, while the rate of pressure difference increase slows down, extending the regeneration cycle by 10% to 15%.

[0030] 3. In the ion exchanger device used for boiler soft water, a controllable drive source can drive the vertical exchange cylinder and the side-connecting cylinder that separate the soft water to rotate when needed. This allows the resin particles stuck and blocked inside the inlet to be thrown out by the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the side-connecting cylinder, thus avoiding the normal flow of soft water due to the blockage of resin particles.

[0049] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0050] Please see Figures 1-9An ion exchanger device for boiler soft water includes a boiler tank 10; an ion exchange structure 20 installed inside the boiler tank 10; and three support legs 30 installed at the bottom edge of the boiler tank 10. The ion exchange structure 20 includes a rotary drive assembly 201 installed inside the boiler tank 10; an octagonal separation assembly 202 connected to and driven by the rotary drive assembly 201; and a conical baffle structure 203 located at the center inside the octagonal separation assembly 202. An infrared depth detection module 204 is installed at the eccentric part of the top of the octagonal separation assembly 202. A drain pipe 100 is connected to the bottom center of the boiler tank 10. The drain pipe 100 is rotatably connected to the octagonal separation assembly 202 through a sealing ring and is connected to a liquid pump.

[0051] It should be noted that the top of the boiler tank 10 is eccentrically connected to the upper cover 101 by screws, and the top of the upper cover 101 is connected to the input pipe 103 by the control valve 102. The control valve 102 is installed on the top of the upper cover 101.

[0052] The working principle is as follows: When ion exchange treatment is performed on boiler soft water, the liquid is transported to the interior of the boiler tank 10 through the input pipe 103 and the control valve 102. The interior of the boiler tank 10 is filled with a large number of resin particles (for liquid treatment). At this time, a large amount of soft water is generated through the contact between the liquid and the resin particles. The generated soft water then enters the interior of the octagonal separation component 202 through through-holes, where the resin particles are separated, preventing the octagonal separation component 202 from becoming clogged. The soft water that has entered the octagonal separation component 202 is discharged to the outside of the boiler tank 10 through the drain pipe 100, enabling the subsequent utilization of the soft water.

[0053] It should be noted that when the liquid and resin particles come into contact, the rotary drive assembly 201 is activated, causing the octagonal separator assembly 202 to rotate continuously. This rotation of the octagonal separator assembly 202 serves two purposes: firstly, it agitates the resin particles and liquid, improving the efficiency of soft water production; secondly, it prevents broken resin particles from clogging the internal pores of the octagonal separator assembly 202.

[0054] Furthermore, the design of the conical baffle structure 203 enables the soft water in the two sets of soft water input channels to be transmitted separately, ensuring the effectiveness of soft water delivery (avoiding cross-contamination).

[0055] For details, please refer to the following: Figure 5A speed reduction screen 104 is installed on the inner top of the boiler tank 10. The speed reduction screen 104 is a semi-circle with the central part protruding to the top, and the speed reduction screen 104 is located above the rotary drive assembly 201.

[0056] In the ion exchanger device for boiler soft water of the present invention, the design of the deceleration screen 104 can buffer the liquid input into the boiler tank 10, reducing the force when the liquid directly collides with the resin particles.

[0057] For details, please refer to the following: Figure 6 and Figure 7 The rotary drive assembly 201 includes an intermediate partition 2011, which is installed inside the boiler tank 10. Through holes are provided on the left and right sides inside the intermediate partition 2011. A drive source 2012 is installed at the eccentric part of the bottom of the intermediate partition 2011. A drive rod 2013 is connected to the output end of the drive source 2012. The drive rod 2013 is rotatably connected inside the intermediate partition 2011. A synchronous gear belt 2014 is connected to the outer side of the top of the drive rod 2013 through a synchronous pulley. The synchronous gear belt 2014 is movably disposed on the top of the intermediate partition 2011.

[0058] In this design, the inner side of the synchronous gear belt 2014 is connected to the assembly ring 2015 via the synchronous pulley. The assembly ring 2015 is rotatably connected to the center of the top of the intermediate partition 2011. An eight-claw separation assembly 202 is installed on the inner side of the assembly ring 2015, and the eight-claw separation assembly 202 is rotatably connected to the inside of the intermediate partition 2011.

[0059] In the ion exchanger device for boiler soft water of the present invention, when it is necessary to drive the octagonal separation component 202 to rotate, the drive source 2012 is activated, driving the drive rod 2013 connected to the output end of the drive source 2012 to rotate, and driving the synchronous gear belt 2014 connected to the outside of the drive rod 2013 via a synchronous pulley to operate. When the synchronous gear belt 2014 operates, it can drive the assembly ring 2015 connected to the synchronous pulley on the inner side of the synchronous gear belt 2014 to rotate, causing the octagonal separation component 202 installed on the inner side of the assembly ring 2015 to rotate, centrifugally discharging the rubber particles adsorbed and blocked inside the octagonal separation component 202.

[0060] For details, please refer to the following: Figure 8 and Figure 9The octagonal separation assembly 202 includes a vertical exchange cylinder 2021, which is rotatably connected to the center inside the intermediate partition 2011 and installed on the outside of the assembly ring 2015. Two sets of side-connecting cylinders 2022 are connected to the outside of the vertical exchange cylinder 2021. A protective sleeve 2023 is fitted on the outside of the bottom of the side-connecting cylinder 2022, and several inlets 2024 are opened on the outside of the bottom of the protective sleeve 2023 and the side-connecting cylinder 2022. A bottom sealing cover 2025 is threadedly connected to the outside of the bottom of the side-connecting cylinder 2022 and movably connected to the inside of the embedded protrusion 2026, which is installed on the inner wall of the boiler tank 10.

[0061] In this scheme, each group of side-connecting straight cylinders 2022 consists of eight side straight cylinders 20221. Multiple side straight cylinders 20221 arranged on the upper and lower sides are staggered. The vertical exchange straight cylinder 2021 has a conical baffle structure 203 located on the side of the side-connecting straight cylinder 2022. The bottom of the vertical exchange straight cylinder 2021 is equipped with an output hose 20211 by screws. The bottom of the output hose 20211 is connected to the top of the input pipe 103 by a sealing ring.

[0062] In the ion exchanger device for boiler soft water of the present invention, the produced soft water can enter the interior of the side-connecting straight cylinder 2022 through the inlet 2024, where rubber particles are separated by the inlet 2024. The soft water entering the side-connecting straight cylinder 2022 can then be transferred to the interior of the vertical exchange cylinder 2021 connected thereto, and then fall by gravity to the interior of the output hose 20211, and finally discharged from the input pipe 103.

[0063] It should be noted that by adopting the "octagonal structure and staggered design of upper and lower layers" of the octagonal separation component 202, the fluid state during soft water transportation can be improved. The high-velocity "points" that were originally concentrated in the center or local areas are broken into multiple low-velocity "surfaces", so that the soft water can pass evenly across the entire cross-section of the resin bed (the cross-section of the resin particles), eliminating the hydraulic "cone" distribution caused by the traditional central point water inlet, and eliminating the velocity difference of "fast in the center and slow at the edge".

[0064] For details, please refer to the following: Figure 8 and Figure 9The conical baffle structure 203 includes a conical embedding block 2031, which is installed inside the vertical exchange cylinder 2021. The conical embedding block 2031 is located at the bottom of the side-connecting cylinder 2022 at the top. The bottom of the conical embedding block 2031 is connected to the vertical embedding cylinder 2032. The vertical embedding cylinder 2032 is located at the center inside the vertical exchange cylinder 2021. The outside of the vertical embedding cylinder 2032 is connected to the side-connecting cylinder 2022 at the bottom. The vertical embedding cylinder 2032 is connected to the output hose 20211. The conical embedding block 2031 is configured as a cone shape that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom.

[0065] In the ion exchanger device for boiler soft water of the present invention, the two conveying channels formed by the conical embedded block 2031 and the vertical embedded cylinder 2032 (corresponding to the soft water conveyed inside the two sets of side-connected straight cylinders 2022) achieve and form a dual protection mechanism, reducing the probability of leakage during soft water conveyance. On the other hand, it can significantly improve the mechanical strength and pressure resistance of the entire vertical exchange cylinder 2021, making it more suitable for high-pressure or long-distance conveying scenarios.

[0066] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.
