[0026] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the described scope.
[0027] like Figure 1-2 As shown, an air precooling device for an air separation system comprises a conical precooling spray bin 1, a drainage riser 5 longitudinally installed in the cavity of the conical precooling spray bin 1, and an air injection bin 2 installed on the outer wall of the bottom of the conical precooling spray bin 1. The air injection bin 2 is an arc-shaped structure wrapped around the outer wall of the bottom of the conical precooling spray bin 1. There is a cavity in the air injection bin 2, and an air injection opening 3 is opened on the surface of the air injection bin 2. The cavity of the air injection bin 2 is connected with the interior of the conical precooling spray bin 1 through the air injection opening 3, so that hot air enters the interior of the conical precooling spray bin 1 along the air injection bin 2 and the air injection opening 3 for precooling. In order to make the hot air more evenly discharged into the interior of the conical precooling spray bin 1, the air injection openings 3 are arranged at intervals on the surface of the air injection bin 2, and the opening diameter of the air injection openings 3 is gradually increased from the air injection port of the air injection bin 2 to a farther direction, so that the hot air can be more evenly discharged into the interior of the conical precooling spray bin 1.
[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, the diameter of the air injection opening 3 gradually increases, so that the hot air is discharged into the interior of the conical pre-cooling spray chamber 1 more evenly.
[0029] A plurality of water spray ports are arranged on the surface of the vertical drainage pipe 5 in a longitudinal rotation manner. A transmission mechanism for driving the vertical drainage pipe 5 to rotate is arranged on the top of the vertical drainage pipe 5. The vertical drainage pipe 5 rotates so that the water spray ports on the surface spray outward in a rotational manner, thereby increasing the coverage area of the cold water.
[0030] like Figure 5As shown, the transmission mechanism includes a connecting sleeve 7, a gear ring 9 and a driving gear roller 10. The connecting sleeve 7 is fixed on the top of the drainage riser 5. The gear ring 9 is fixed on the upper part of the connecting sleeve 7. The driving gear roller 10 is installed on one side of the gear ring 9 through a bracket, and the driving gear roller 10 is meshed with the gear ring 9.
[0031] The driving gear roller 10 is driven by a motor to rotate, thereby causing the driving gear roller 10 to drive the meshing gear ring 9 to rotate, and the gear ring 9 and the connecting sleeve 7 are fixed, and the connecting sleeve 7 and the drainage riser 5 are fixed, so the drainage riser 5 can be driven to rotate in the cavity of the conical pre-cooling spray bin 1, so that the water spray port sprays water in a ring shape, which can increase the coverage range, increase the contact area with the hot air, and improve the pre-cooling efficiency.
[0032] The outer wall of the connecting sleeve 7 is provided with an annular groove, in which a supporting collar body 8 is slidably installed, and the side wall of the supporting collar body 8 is connected to the inner wall of the conical precooling spray bin 1 through a support rod. The supporting collar body 8 keeps the connecting sleeve 7 in stable rotation.
[0033] In this embodiment, the air separation precooling equipment includes a drainage conduit 6, which is rotatably sleeved on the upper part of the gear ring 9 through the water injection sleeve 4, and the drainage conduit 6 is connected with the cavity of the connecting sleeve 7 and the interior of the drainage riser 5.
[0034] The drainage conduit 6 is rotatably sleeved on the upper part of the gear ring 9 through the water injection sleeve 4, and the drainage conduit 6 is connected with the cavity of the connecting sleeve 7 and the interior of the drainage riser 5. The water injection sleeve 4 is rotatably sleeved on the opening at the top of the connecting sleeve 7, so that the drainage conduit 6 enters the interior of the connecting sleeve 7 along the water injection sleeve 4, and the water injection sleeve 4 is connected to the top opening of the connecting sleeve 7 through a rotary seal.
[0035] like Figure 6-7 As shown, two groups of baffles 14 in a V-shaped structure are provided on one side of the drainage riser 5, a support base 12 is fixed in the cavity of the conical pre-cooling spray chamber 1, a connecting column 13 is fixed on the upper part of the support base 12, the ends of the two groups of baffles 14 are respectively connected to the connecting column 13, and the ends of the baffles 14 are provided with a transverse annular groove, and the connecting column 13 is arranged through the transverse annular groove, so that the ends of the two groups of baffles 14 are respectively connected to the connecting column 13 for rotation, and each group of baffles 14 can be rotated at a certain angle by relying on the connecting column 13, and a rotating mechanism for driving the baffles 14 to rotate is provided on the support base 12. The two groups of baffles 14 face the water outlet of the drainage riser 5, so that the water jetted from the drainage riser 5 touches the surface of the baffle 14 and then splashes, and the splashed water droplets can be scattered to various positions, further improving the coverage range and further improving the contact with the air.
[0036] The rotating mechanism includes an adjusting screw 15, an engaging ring 16 and a group of supporting cross bars 17. The adjusting screw 15 is rotatably installed on the top of the supporting base 12 and is located on one side of the connecting column 13. The outer engaging sleeve of the adjusting screw 15 is provided with an engaging ring 16. The two ends of the engaging ring 16 are connected to the inner walls of the two groups of baffles 14 through the supporting cross bars 17.
[0037] L-shaped plug rods are provided at both ends of the two groups of supporting cross bars 17, and positioning rings adapted to the L-shaped plug rods are provided on the surfaces of the engaging collar 16 and the baffle 14, so that the supporting cross bars 17 and the positioning rings can freely rotate at a certain angle. Therefore, by adjusting the rotation of the adjusting screw 15, the engaging collar 16 can be adjusted in the longitudinal position. When the engaging collar 16 moves downward, the two groups of supporting cross bars 17 support the two groups of baffles 14 to expand at a larger angle, and vice versa, the expansion angle is smaller, thereby realizing the adjustment capability.
