[0021] In order to make the above features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, embodiments are given below with reference to the accompanying drawings for detailed description as follows.
[0022] Example 1
[0023] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 5 and 6, this embodiment provides an improved solvent recovery tower, including a cylinder mounting frame 1, a solvent filter cylinder 2, a plurality of condensation towers 3 and a heating component 4.
[0024] The solvent filter cartridge 2 comprises a cartridge body and a filter assembly, wherein the cartridge body has an inner cavity, a temperature control cavity 21 is provided in the side wall of the cartridge body, the temperature control cavity 21 has an inlet and an outlet, and a first air outlet is provided above the cartridge body. The cartridge mounting frame comprises two side frames, the two side frames are located on both sides of the cartridge body, and the upper ends of the two side frames are connected by a connecting rod.
[0025] The filter assembly is installed in the inner cavity, and the upper end of the inner cavity is provided with a liquid inlet pipe 24, and the liquid inlet pipe 24 extends to the top of the filter end of the filter assembly. The filter assembly is used to filter solids in the liquid. Specifically, the filter assembly includes a centrifugal cylinder 22, and the centrifugal cylinder 22 is located in the inner cavity. The lower end of the centrifugal cylinder 22 extends into the bottom of the inner cavity and is rotatably connected. The centrifugal cylinder 22 and the lower end of the shaft end are detachably connected. The side wall and the bottom of the centrifugal cylinder 22 are formed with filter holes 221, and the side wall of the cylinder body forms an opening. A cover plate is provided at the opening, and the cover plate and the opening are sealed. Through the centrifugal rotation of the centrifugal cylinder 22, the residual solids are thrown to both sides of the centrifugal cylinder 22. Such a setting will not affect the solvent passing through the centrifugal cylinder 22, and it is also convenient for the subsequent collection and cleaning of the residual solids. When it is necessary to clean the residual solids, open the cover plate, take out the centrifugal cylinder 22, and clean the residual solids inside. In this scheme, the height of the mixed solvent liquid does not exceed sixty percent of the height of the centrifugal cylinder 22.
[0026] Multiple condensation towers 3 and the first air outlet are connected together through a pipeline 34. Specifically, a first solenoid valve 31 is arranged between adjacent condensation towers 3, a connecting pipe is provided between the output end of the condensation tower 3 and the pipeline 34, a second solenoid valve 32 is provided on the connecting pipe, and an air intake fan 33 is also provided in the connecting pipe, and the air intake fan 33 is located below the second solenoid valve 32.
[0027] The heating assembly 4 is used to heat the cylinder. Specifically, the heating assembly 4 includes a steam engine 41, the output end of the steam engine 41 is connected to the inlet, and the heating efficiency is high by steam heating.
[0028] Working principle: the mixed solvent enters the inner cavity of the cylinder from the liquid inlet pipe 24 and is located above the centrifugal cylinder 22. The mixed solvent is discharged into the centrifugal cylinder 22, and the centrifugal cylinder 22 starts to rotate, and the residual solid is centrifugally thrown to the side wall of the centrifugal cylinder 22. The steam engine 41 rushes hot air into the temperature control chamber 21, so that the inner cavity is heated, and the solvent in this temperature range is evaporated. The second solenoid valve 32 on the corresponding condensation tower 3 is opened, and the adjacent and rear first solenoid valve 31 is closed, and the intake fan 33 is started to suck the gas into the condensation tower 3 for liquefaction and collection, and the steam temperature in the temperature control chamber 21 is increased in turn. The first solenoid valve 31, the second solenoid valve 32 and the intake fan 33 at the condensation tower 3 are opened and closed accordingly until all the solvent is recovered.
[0029] Example 2

Specifically, the filter screen 23 includes a mounting plate 231 and a screen body 232. The mounting plate 231 has a mounting hole in the middle, and the screen body 232 is located at a lower position in the mounting hole. The thickness of the screen body 232 is lower than the thickness of the mounting hole. A mounting groove is formed on one side wall of the cylinder. A sealing plate is connected to one end of the filter screen 23. The filter screen 23 is inserted into the cylinder from the mounting groove. The sealing plate is sealed at the opening of the mounting groove. The filter screen 23 is fixed to the cylinder in a pull-out manner to facilitate cleaning of residual solids.
[0031] Working principle: the mixed solvent enters the inner cavity of the cylinder from the liquid inlet pipe 24 and is located above the filter 23. The mixed solvent is discharged onto the filter 23 for filtration, and the residual solids are filtered by the filter 23. The steam engine 41 rushes hot air into the temperature control chamber 21 to heat the inner cavity, and the solvent in this temperature range is evaporated. The corresponding second solenoid valve 32 on the condensation tower 3 is opened, and the adjacent and rear first solenoid valve 31 is closed, and the intake fan 33 is started to suck the gas into the condensation tower 3 for liquefaction and collection, and the steam temperature in the temperature control chamber 21 is increased in turn. The first solenoid valve 31, the second solenoid valve 32 and the intake fan 33 at the condensation tower 3 are opened and closed accordingly until all the solvent is recovered.
