Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of adsorption tower structures, in particular to an adsorption tower body structure for air separation equipment. Background Art

[0002] Air separation equipment uses air as raw material, converts air into liquid through compression cycle deep freezing, and then gradually separates and produces inert gases such as oxygen, nitrogen and argon from the liquid air through distillation. With the continuous development of science and technology, there are more and more types of air separation equipment. Usually, adsorption towers are used to adsorb air using activated carbon or molecular sieves inside. Due to the characteristics of the adsorbent, certain components will be adsorbed to the surface of the adsorbent.

[0003] When part of the components in the mixed gas are adsorbed onto the adsorbent, the unadsorbed components continue to flow upward. At a certain height, the adsorbent is saturated and can no longer adsorb gas molecules. At this time, the adsorbent needs to be desorbed. Common desorption methods include high temperature, pressure reduction and displacement. In the process of high temperature desorption, a large amount of heat will be generated that cannot be used, resulting in energy waste. Utility Model Content

[0018] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0019] like Figure 1-4As shown, an adsorption tower body structure for an air separation device includes an adsorption tower 1, wherein an adsorbent is arranged inside the adsorption tower 1, and different adsorbents are selected according to the gases to be separated. An air inlet pipe and an air outlet pipe are arranged on the surface of the adsorption tower 1, and the air inlet pipe is located below the air outlet pipe, and the air inlet pipe and the air outlet pipe are respectively located on both sides of the adsorbent. A support frame 2 is arranged at the bottom of the adsorption tower 1, and a high-temperature furnace 3 is arranged inside the support frame 2. A low-heat partition 4 is arranged on the inner top of the high-temperature furnace 3, and a high-heat partition 5 is arranged on the inner bottom and side of the high-temperature furnace 3. A lifting component is arranged inside the support frame 2 for the longitudinal movement of the high-temperature furnace 3.

[0020] When it is necessary to desorb the adsorbent, the adsorbent inside the adsorption tower 1 is taken out and placed directly into the high-temperature furnace 3. At this time, the gas separation operation can still be performed by replacing the new adsorbent inside the adsorption tower 1. When the replaced adsorbent is desorbed, the high-temperature furnace 3 generates a large amount of heat. Since the top is a low-heat partition 4, its insulation ability is relatively weak. The heat will be transferred to the inside through the adsorption tower 1 to heat the air inside the adsorption tower 1. The gas expands due to the heat, which will accelerate the gas to pass through the inside of the adsorbent. At this time, the adsorption efficiency can be accelerated, and the air separation efficiency is indirectly improved. However, since the low-heat partition 4 itself still has specific insulation ability, it will not generate high heat and will not affect the normal adsorption of the adsorbent inside the adsorption tower 1. The high-heat partition 5 can prevent heat from dissipating from all sides to ensure the desorption reaction inside the high-temperature furnace 3.

[0021] The lifting assembly includes two connecting plates 6, and the two connecting plates 6 are fixed on both sides of the high-temperature furnace 3. Two rotatable threaded rods 7 are movably installed inside the support frame 2. The threaded rods 7 are threaded through the surface of the connecting plates 6. Gears 8 are fixedly sleeved on the surfaces of the two threaded rods 7. The two gears 8 are connected by a toothed belt 9. The bottom of the toothed belt 9 abuts against the bottom of the support frame 2, and the bottom of the gear 8 abuts against the bottom of the inner side of the support frame 2. A motor 10 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support frame 2, and the output shaft of the motor 10 is fixed on the surface of one of the threaded rods 7.

[0022] When the motor 10 is started, the corresponding threaded rod 7 rotates, so the gear 8 connected thereto also rotates. Due to the transmission effect of the toothed belt 9, the other gear 8 can be rotated. At this time, the two threaded rods 7 rotate, which has a limiting effect on the high-temperature furnace 3 and can prevent the high-temperature furnace 3 from rotating. Therefore, the high-temperature furnace 3 can move longitudinally under the driving action of the connecting plate 6, thereby changing the distance between the bottom of the high-temperature furnace 3 and the adsorption tower 1, preventing the adsorbent inside the adsorption tower 1 from being affected by excessive temperature.

[0023] A protective frame 11 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner side of the support frame 2, the gear 8 and the toothed belt 9 are located inside the protective frame 11, and the threaded rod 7 movably penetrates the surface of the protective frame 11. The protective frame 11 protects the meshing of the gear 8 and the toothed belt 9.

[0024] One side of the support frame 2 is open and the surroundings are sealed. A plurality of ventilation holes 12 are provided on the opposite side of the open support frame 2. If the temperature at the top of the high-temperature furnace 3 is too high, gas can circulate through the ventilation holes 12 and the open side to take away some heat.

[0025] It should be noted that the utility model is an adsorption tower body structure for air separation equipment. During use, when the adsorbent needs to be desorbed, the adsorbent inside the adsorption tower 1 is taken out and directly placed inside the high-temperature furnace 3. At this time, the adsorption tower 1 is replaced with a new adsorbent and the gas separation operation can still be performed. The motor 10 is started to rotate the corresponding threaded rod 7, so the gear 8 connected thereto will also rotate. Due to the transmission effect of the toothed belt 9, the other gear 8 can be rotated. At this time, the two threaded rods 7 rotate, which has a limiting effect on the high-temperature furnace 3, so the high-temperature furnace 3 can It moves longitudinally under the driving action of the connecting plate 6. During the desorption process of the replaced adsorbent, the high-temperature furnace 3 generates a large amount of heat. Since the top is a low-heat partition 4, its heat insulation ability is relatively weak, and the heat will be transferred to the inside through the adsorption tower 1 to heat the air inside the adsorption tower 1. The gas expands due to the heat, which will accelerate the gas to pass through the inside of the adsorbent. At this time, the adsorption efficiency can be accelerated, and the efficiency of air separation is indirectly improved. At the same time, the vent 12 and the open side are used for gas circulation to take away part of the heat to prevent the adsorbent inside the adsorption tower 1 from being affected by excessive temperature.

[0026] The above shows and describes the basic principle and main features of the utility model and the advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected.
