Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cleaning of caustic soda flake machines, and particularly relates to an automatic cleaning device for caustic soda flake machines. Background Art

[0002] Caustic soda flakes are a type of caustic soda, and its chemical name is sodium hydroxide. It is a white translucent flake solid, a soluble strong base, and is extremely corrosive. It can be used as an acid neutralizer, a complex masking agent, a precipitant, a precipitation masking agent, a color developer, a saponifier, a peeling agent, a detergent, etc. It is widely used in papermaking, textiles, metallurgical industry, refined petroleum, chemical preparations and industrial product additives, soil improvement, ceramics, disinfection, sewage treatment and other fields.

[0003] Among solid alkalis, flake caustic soda and granular caustic soda are the most common and used. Due to the high difficulty of granular caustic soda manufacturing process and high sales price, the demand for flake caustic soda is greater in society, and there are more flake caustic soda production devices in industrial production. In the solid caustic soda production process of a certain enterprise, high-temperature molten 98% caustic soda enters the flake caustic soda machine. After the cooling drum in the flake caustic soda machine rotates, the molten caustic soda will be rolled up on the surface of the drum, forming a layer of caustic soda film on the surface of the drum. The solidified caustic soda film is scraped off by a scraper to form flake caustic soda, which is then sent to the packaging scale for packaging through the silo. When the caustic soda flake machine has been in production for more than 7 days, alkali adhesion will appear on the surface of the scraper in the caustic soda flake machine due to the strong hygroscopicity of 98% alkali, which will affect the normal feeding and production of caustic soda flakes by the caustic soda flake machine and reduce the production efficiency of the enterprise. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly use high-temperature condensed water to clean the scraper. The current cleaning method is to use a cloth-reinforced rubber hose for manual cleaning. During the cleaning process, according to the cleaning operation of the two caustic soda flake machines, at least 4.5m³ of high-temperature condensed water is used for each cleaning operation, and it takes 2 hours to complete the cleaning operation. The cleaning water consumption is large, the cleaning time is long, and there is a risk of alkali burns and high-temperature water scalds. When manually cleaning the scraper in the caustic soda flake machine in summer, the high-temperature working environment can easily cause heatstroke to the staff.

[0029] As needed, such as attached Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 2 As shown, the length of the spray water inlet pipe 18 and the number of nozzles 19 can be set according to the length of the scraper 16. Several nozzles 19 are evenly fixed and connected to the spray water inlet pipe 18.

[0037] The above technical features constitute the embodiments of the present utility model, which have strong adaptability and implementation effect. Non-essential technical features can be added or reduced according to actual needs to meet the requirements of different situations.

[0038] In the production process, first, the concentrated alkali in the high temperature molten state in the concentrated alkali distribution tank 1 enters the arc pot 17 in the caustic soda flake machine 2 through the second concentrated alkali pipeline 6. When the cooled drum 15 rotates, the surface of the drum 15 will roll up the molten concentrated alkali from the arc pot 17, so that a layer of alkali film will be formed on the surface of the drum 15. Then, the solidified alkali film on the surface of the drum 15 is scraped off by the scraper 16 to obtain the caustic soda flake product. Finally, the caustic soda flakes are sent to the silo for weighing and packaging through the caustic soda flake discharge pipeline 8.

[0039] Usage process of the embodiment of the utility model: After the production operation exceeds 7 days, a layer of tight alkali film will adhere to the surface of the scraper 16, which affects the scraper 16 from scraping the finished caustic soda flakes from the surface of the drum 15. To solve this problem, the scraper 16 needs to be cleaned: first, open the first solenoid valve 23 and the second solenoid valve 25. Under the action of the first booster pump 21, the high-temperature condensed water in the high-temperature condensed water tank 3 enters the spray water inlet pipe 18 in the caustic soda flake machine 2 through the cleaning pipeline 9, and is then sprayed out by a number of evenly distributed nozzles 19 to clean the scraper 16 with the high-temperature condensed water. The staff observes whether the scraper 16 is cleaned through the window 14. After the scraper 16 is cleaned, the cleaning residual liquid in the caustic soda flake machine 2 is discharged through the sewage pipeline 7, and the residual high-temperature condensed water in the cleaning pipeline 9 and the spray water inlet pipe 18 is discharged through the drain guide pipeline 11. Then, the second solenoid valve 25 and the fourth solenoid valve 27 are closed, and the third solenoid valve 26 is opened. Under the action of the second booster pump 22, the compressed air in the compressed air tank 4 enters a number of evenly distributed nozzles 19 through the purge pipeline 10, the cleaning pipeline 9, and the spray water inlet pipe 18. The compressed air is sprayed from the plurality of nozzles 19 to purge the scraper 16. The staff observes whether the surface of the scraper 16 is dry through the window 14 to prevent the scraper 16 from rusting due to cleaning. Finally, after the scraper 16 is cleaned and purged, the first solenoid valve 23 is closed to resume the flake caustic soda production process.
