[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0032] Depend on Figures 1 to 4 Given, including:
[0033] A loading module, wherein the loading module comprises a freight elevator 1 and a depalletizing robot 2. The depalletizing robot 2 is a prior art and will not be described in detail herein. However, it should be noted that the depalletizing robot 2 can rotate and can perform hoisting operations in 360 degrees in all directions. At least one bagging belt conveyor 3 is arranged on one side of the depalletizing robot 2. In actual production in the factory area, the solid alkali is located inside the packing bag and is transported to the designated floor by the freight elevator 1. A ground forklift (either a manual forklift or an automatic forklift) is used to transport the packing bag to the hoisting area near the depalletizing robot 2. The depalletizing robot 2 is provided with a gripper, and the packing bag can be placed on the corresponding conveyor belt by the gripper;
[0034] The bag unpacking module includes a bag unpacking machine 4 located at the output side of the upper bag belt conveyor 3. The packing bags enter the bag unpacking machine 4 under the transportation of the conveyor belt. The bag unpacking machine 4 is a prior art and will not be described in detail here. After the packing bags enter the bag unpacking machine 4, the blades inside the bag unpacking machine 4 cut the packing bags, and the solid alkali is scattered inside the bag unpacking machine 4 and slides downward under the action of gravity. In order to avoid a large amount of smoke and dust from being raised at the feeding port of the bag unpacking machine 4, a dust collector 5 is provided on the bag unpacking machine 4, and an air pump 6 is provided on the dust collector 5. The air pump 6 is connected to the dust collector 5 through a pipeline. In this embodiment In the example, the dust collector 5 is a bag dust collector 5, and the dust inside the bag unpacking machine 4 enters the dust collector 5 under the action of negative pressure. The dust collector 5 is externally connected to instrument air. The instrument air is a processed compressed air specially used for pneumatic equipment of industrial automation and control systems. It is delivered from an air compression station and goes through a series of purification processes (including oil removal, water removal, dust removal, etc.) to achieve a higher purification level to ensure that sensitive instrument equipment will not be damaged or cause operational failures. A waste bag collector 7 is provided on one side of the bag unpacking machine 4. The waste bag collector 7 is a prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0035] In order to more accurately control the fusion ratio of solid alkali and subsequent desalted water (pure water), a quantitative weighing module is provided, which includes a weighing bucket 8 located below the bag unpacking machine 4. A gravity sensor is arranged inside the weighing bucket 8. The weighing bucket 8 is connected to the bag unpacking machine 4 through a pipeline. The solid alkali inside the bag unpacking machine 4 enters the weighing bucket 8 through the pipeline. The weighing bucket 8 weighs the solid alkali accurately. An automatic valve, such as a pneumatic butterfly valve, is arranged inside the weighing bucket 8. When the solid alkali inside the weighing bucket 8 reaches a certain weight, the weighing bucket 8 stops feeding and the automatic valve opens. The material enters the next process through the pipeline. At the same time, in order to further ensure the accuracy of the solid alkali batching process, the bottom of the weighing bucket 8 is fixedly connected with an impeller feeder 9. The impeller feeder 9 is a star-shaped discharger, which is mainly used for material transmission and quantitative feeding. It has the advantages of compact structure and convenient maintenance. The impeller feeder 9 is directly connected to the bottom output pipe of the weighing bucket 8. The reason why the star-shaped discharger is selected instead of the screw conveyor is that when the screw conveyor is conveying, due to the extrusion between the auger and the pipe wall, the solid alkali (powder) is easy to agglomerate, which is not conducive to subsequent dissolution.
[0036] A dissolving module, wherein the dissolving module comprises a dissolving tank 10, wherein a temperature sensor and a liquid level sensor are arranged inside the dissolving tank 10, wherein an agitator 11 is coaxially fixed inside the dissolving tank 10, wherein the dissolving tank 10 is connected to an impeller feeder 9 through a pipeline, wherein the impeller feeder 9 quantitatively transports the solid alkali to the inside of the dissolving tank 10, wherein a liquid inlet pipe is arranged on the top of the dissolving tank 10, wherein an electromagnetic valve is arranged on the liquid inlet pipe, wherein the liquid capacity inside the liquid inlet pipe is controlled by the feedback information of the liquid level sensor and the electromagnetic valve, so as to achieve the effect of solid-liquid balanced dissolution, wherein the dissolving tank 10 introduces desalted water through the liquid inlet pipe, and through the arrangement of a bag dismantling module, a quantitative weighing module and a dissolving module, compared with the method of manually proportioning the solid alkali, the use of equipment such as a destacking robot 2, a bagging belt conveyor 3 and a bag dismantling machine 4, etc., all adopts automated equipment for production, and will not cause harm to workers due to the toxicity of the solid alkali, and at the same time, under the cooperation of the weighing bucket 8 and the impeller feeder 9, a more accurate solid-liquid proportioning and a continuous production effect are achieved;
[0037] Taking into account that a large amount of heat release occurs during the dissolution of solid alkali with desalted water (pure water), the temperature of the alkali solution inside the dissolving tank 10 is not easy to control, and a heat exchange module is arranged on one side of the dissolving tank 10, wherein the heat exchange module comprises a heat exchanger 12, and a No. 1 circulation pipe is connected between the heat exchanger 12 and the dissolving tank 10, one end of the No. 1 circulation pipe is connected to one side of the bottom of the dissolving tank 10, and the other end of the No. 1 circulation pipe is connected to the input end of the heat exchanger 12, and a liquid alkali circulation pump 13 is arranged on the No. 1 circulation pipe connected with the liquid alkali circulation pump 13 and the heat exchanger 12, and an electric valve is arranged on the No. 1 circulation pipe, and the electric valve is arranged on the No. 1 circulation pipe, and the discharge pipe is used for discharging liquid alkali, and when the liquid alkali inside the dissolving tank 10 is fully fused and at a suitable temperature, the electric valve on the discharge pipe is opened, and the heat exchange valve corresponding to the heat exchanger 12 is closed. Closed, in order to discharge the material, a No. 2 circulation pipe is fixed to the output end of the heat exchanger 12, and the end of the No. 2 circulation pipe away from the heat exchanger 12 is fixed to the top side of the dissolving tank 10, and the heat exchanger 12 is externally connected to a cooling water circulation pipeline. Through the setting of the heat exchange module, when the temperature inside the dissolving tank 10 rises, the liquid alkali circulation pump 13 is started to draw the liquid inside the dissolving tank 10 into the heat exchanger 12. A cooling coil is arranged inside the heat exchanger 12, and cooling water flows in the cooling coil. After the liquid alkali exchanges heat with the cooling water, it re-enters the dissolving tank 10 through the No. 2 circulation pipe. It should be noted that the No. 2 circulation pipe is connected to the top of the dissolving tank 10. When the liquid alkali re-enters the dissolving tank 10, part of the liquid alkali will contact with the rotating agitator 11 during the falling process, and the liquid alkali will be scattered. During the scattering process, the liquid alkali is further cooled, so as to achieve a better temperature control effect.
[0038] refer to Figures 5 to 7 As shown, in order to improve the matching efficiency of the lifting equipment and the conveying equipment, so that one lifting equipment can lift multiple conveying equipment at the same time, so as to achieve the effect of reducing costs and increasing efficiency, the multiple bagging belt conveyors 3 are arranged in a circle, and the destacking robot 2 is located at the center of the multiple bagging belt conveyors 3. The multiple bagging belt conveyors 3 may not be evenly distributed in an equal circle, such as a fan-shaped arrangement. It is only necessary to ensure that the placement area of the packing bags is placed evenly. For example, a packing bag placement space can be set between two bagging belt conveyors 3, or the packing bag area can be placed at the end of the multiple bagging belt conveyors 3. Through the setting of multiple bagging belt conveyors 3 and a destacking robot 2, the effect of one lifting equipment serving multiple bagging belt conveyors 3 is achieved, which not only greatly improves the production efficiency, but also effectively guarantees the equipment cost of the factory area, thereby achieving the effect of reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

Through the arrangement of the inlet main pipe, the return main pipe and the valve assembly, the number of branches connected to the heat exchanger 12 is increased accordingly according to the actual production needs;
[0041] It should be further supplemented that the number of heat exchangers 12 can be less than the number of dissolution tanks 10. For example, if two or more dissolution tanks 10 are connected to the heat exchanger 12, it is only necessary to set a solenoid valve on the No. 2 circulation pipe of the corresponding dissolution tank 10.
[0042] refer to Figure 1 As shown, in order to ensure the long-term use of the valve assembly, the valve assembly includes a No. 1 main pipe, an automatic control valve is arranged on the No. 1 main pipe, valves are arranged on both sides of the automatic control valve, a No. 2 branch pipe is arranged on the No. 1 main pipe, a manual valve is arranged on the No. 2 branch pipe, drain pipes are arranged on both sides of the automatic control valve, the drain pipes are connected with the drainage ditch in the factory area, and manual valves are arranged on the drain pipes. When inspecting the automatic control valve, the valves on both sides of the automatic control valve are first closed, and the valve on the No. 2 branch pipe and the valves corresponding to the two drain pipes are opened. On this basis, the automatic control valve can be inspected.
[0043] When the utility model is used:
[0044] First, the solid alkali is transported to the designated floor by the freight elevator 1, and the packing bags are transported to the hoisting area near the depalletizing robot 2 by a ground forklift (either a manual forklift or an automatic forklift). The depalletizing robot 2 is equipped with a gripper, which places the packing bags on the corresponding conveyor belt;
[0045] Then, the packing bag enters the bag opening machine 4 under the transportation of the conveyor belt, and the blade inside the bag opening machine 4 cuts the packing bag, and the solid alkali is scattered inside the bag opening machine 4, and slides down to the inside of the weighing bucket 8 under the action of gravity. The weighing bucket 8 weighs the solid alkali accurately, and the waste bag enters the inside of the waste bag collector 7;
[0046] At the same time, the vacuum pump 6 is started, and the dust inside the bag remover 4 enters the dust collector 5 under the action of negative pressure;
[0047] Secondly, when the solid alkali in the weighing hopper 8 reaches a certain weight, the weighing hopper 8 stops feeding, the automatic valve opens, and the solid alkali directly enters the impeller feeder 9. The impeller feeder 9 quantitatively transports the solid alkali to the dissolving tank 10, and the agitator 11 starts;
[0048] Finally, when the temperature inside the dissolving tank 10 rises, the liquid alkali circulation pump 13 is started to draw the liquid inside the dissolving tank 10 into the heat exchanger 12.
