Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of nitrogen generators, in particular to a molecular sieve pressing device for nitrogen generators. Background Art
[0002] Nitrogen generator is a nitrogen production equipment designed and manufactured according to pressure swing adsorption technology. Nitrogen generator uses high-quality imported carbon molecular sieve as adsorbent. According to different classification methods, namely cryogenic air separation, molecular sieve air separation (PSA) and membrane air separation, industrial nitrogen generators can be divided into three types. Nitrogen generator is a nitrogen production equipment designed and manufactured according to pressure swing adsorption technology. Nitrogen generator uses high-quality imported carbon molecular sieve (CMS) as adsorbent and uses the principle of pressure swing adsorption at room temperature to separate air and produce high-purity nitrogen. Usually two adsorption towers are used in parallel, and the imported pneumatic valve is automatically operated by the imported PLC to alternately perform pressurized adsorption and decompression regeneration to complete nitrogen and oxygen separation and obtain the required high-purity nitrogen.
[0003] The prior art has the following problems.
[0004] 1. In the existing molecular sieve compression device for nitrogen generators, during operation, high-pressure gas enters from the bottom of the adsorption tower. At the same time, the pressure at the top of the adsorption tower is lower and the pressure at the bottom is higher, resulting in uneven force on the upper and lower parts, causing the molecular sieve to move relative to each other. The friction generated can easily lead to pulverization of the carbon molecular sieve. After pulverization, the efficiency of the molecular sieve decreases until it loses the ability to adsorb oxygen, ultimately affecting the purity and flow of the output nitrogen, reducing its flame retardant performance, and after being injected into the goaf of a coal mine, there is a risk of fire in the goaf.

[0023] The upper end surface of the flange cover 41 is equidistantly provided with a plurality of connection holes 42, and the number of the connection holes 42 is eight;
[0024] The upper end of the flange cover 41 is embedded and connected with the outer wall of the threaded interface 43;
[0025] One end of the connecting pipe 47 extends through the pressing cylinder 44, and the other end extends through the flange cover 41 to the bottleneck 3;
[0026] The early warning limit switch 414 and the shutdown limit switch 415 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the outer circumference of the piston rod 410 , and the early warning limit switch 414 and the shutdown limit switch 415 are both linked to the piston rod 410 .

If it needs to be continued to be used, the clamping cylinder 44 drives the piston rod 410 to continue to move to the shutdown limit switch 415, that is, the extreme shutdown position, and the device automatically shuts down. At this time, the molecular sieve 413 must be added, and the device can operate normally. Further, it should be noted that the outer diameter of the piston body 411 is the same as the inner diameter of the bottleneck 3, and is slidably connected, which is conducive to accurately controlling the air pressure state in the adsorption tower body 1.
