The Roots blower 1 is a variable frequency vacuum blower, which is an explosion-proof blower specially used in the chemical industry, and its rotation speed can be adjusted according to the negative pressure value displayed by the pressure sensor 8.

[0039] The working process of this embodiment:

[0040] A negative pressure desolventizing system for the draining section of an extractor adopts vacuum forced draining. When working, a Roots blower 1 draws out the mixed gas in the drain oil hopper 21 through a vacuum pipe joint 5, so that a negative pressure zone of about -5 kPa is formed in the drain oil hopper 21. Under the action of the negative pressure in the drain oil hopper 21, the solvent and solvent gas in the material layer 17 pass through a grid plate 25 and fall into the drain oil hopper 21 by utilizing the pressure difference principle. The solvent is drawn out through a circulation pump 6 and flows back to the material layer. After the drawn solvent mixed gas is separated by a hydrocyclone 2, the liquid flows back to the circulation pump 6 through a cyclone reflux pipe 19 below. The gas is blown into the space above the material layer 17 through the Roots blower 1 and the air outlet pipe 16. In this way, the solvent content in the wet meal in the material layer 17 is reduced from 30% to less than 25%.

[0041] A negative pressure desolventizing system for the draining section of an extractor can reduce the solvent content in wet meal by 5% after leaching; the solvent content in the wet meal is reduced, and steam consumption can be reduced during desolventizing in the desolventizing section, and the unit steam consumption of the material can be reduced by 6 to 10 kg / ton. Since the negative pressure of the draining oil hopper 21 and the mixed gas are blown above the material layer 17, this process belongs to gas self-circulation, and the pressure does not change significantly relative to the inside of the extractor body, forming a closed circulation system. This process strengthens the separation of the solvent and the leaching embryo, effectively reduces the loss of solvent and the amount of steam used in the desolventizing process of the leaching embryo, and greatly reduces the load of the desolventizer.

[0042] The utility model also has the advantages of: first, no condenser is required for condensation; second, the extracted mixed gas does not require special equipment for desolventizing and recycling; third, less materials are required and the cost is low.

[0043] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the above embodiments may still be modified, or some or all of the technical features may be replaced by equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0044] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
