DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0016] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0017] Embodiment 1
[0018] As Figure 1 shown, Embodiment 1 of the present disclosure discloses a wet granulation drying line, including a heating unit 1, a drying unit 2, and a vacuum pumping unit 3 connected in sequence through pipelines. In this embodiment, the heating unit 1, the drying unit 2, and the vacuum pumping unit 3 are jointly installed on the same base, standardizing the equipment installation area, reducing the equipment footprint, and improving the cleanliness; and saving the customer's equipment procurement cost, reducing energy consumption, maintenance, and usage costs.
[0019] Based on practical applications, the drying unit 2 includes a raw material bin 21, a wet granulator 22, a double-cone vacuum dryer 23, a finished product bin 24, and a finished product feeder 25 that are connected in sequence through pipelines. The discharge port of the raw material bin 21 is connected to the feed port of the wet granulator 22, enabling automatic feeding. The discharge port of the wet granulator 22 is connected to the feed port of the double-cone vacuum dryer 23, enabling automatic feeding. There are 2 to 3 vacuum covers 231 inside the double-cone vacuum dryer 23. The discharge port of the double-cone vacuum dryer 23 is connected to the feed port of the finished product bin. At the same time, another branch pipeline installed at the feed port of the finished product bin is connected to the feed port of the finished product feeder. This embodiment realizes the connection of each module with the shortest line, reduces the material loss during the intermediate turnover process, and improves the product yield.
[0020] Based on practical applications, the heating unit 1 includes a heating water tank 11 and a hot water pump 12 that are connected in sequence. One side of the heating water tank 11 is provided with an automatic water replenishment interface for automatic water replenishment. There are several heating rods 111 inside the heating water tank 11 to heat the added water. The bottom of the heating water tank 11 is provided with a water outlet, and a water extraction pipeline 112 is installed at the water outlet. The hot water pump 12 is connected to the middle section of the water extraction pipeline 112, and the end of the water extraction pipeline 112 is connected to the water inlet pipeline of the double-cone vacuum dryer 23. Thus, hot water is pumped from the heating water tank 11 into the double-cone vacuum dryer 23. To drain the water for cleaning, a sewage pipe (not shown in the figure) is also provided at the bottom of the heating water tank 11. One side of the heating water tank 11 close to the double-cone vacuum dryer 23 is also provided with a return pipe 113, and the return pipe 113 is communicated with the water inlet pipeline of the double-cone vacuum dryer 23.
[0021] Based on practical applications, the vacuum pumping unit 3 includes a buffer tank 31, a vacuum pump 32, and a cooling water tank 33 that are connected in sequence through pipelines. The pipeline at the water outlet of the double-cone vacuum dryer 23 is connected to the inlet of the buffer tank 31, and a temperature detector and a pressure gauge are also provided on this pipeline. The buffer tank 31 is used to store and balance the pressure of the hot liquid discharged from the double-cone vacuum dryer 23. The outlet of the buffer tank 31 is connected to the vacuum pump 32, and the extracted hot liquid is discharged into the cooling water tank 33.
[0022] The operating principle of this embodiment is as follows: During operation, the vacuum pump 32 is started to form a suction airflow inside the wet granulator 22 and the double-cone vacuum dryer 23, so that the material passing through the wet granulator 22 is automatically sucked into the double-cone vacuum dryer 23 under the carrying of the suction airflow. At the same time, hot water is pumped from the heating water tank 11 into the jacket of the double-cone vacuum dryer 23 by the hot water pump 12. The heat contacts the material through the inner wall of the double-cone vacuum dryer 23, and the water vapor evaporated by the material after absorbing heat is pumped away by the vacuum pumping unit 3. The dried material is collected by the finished product bin 24 and automatically fed to the next device through the finished product feeder 25.
[0023] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present utility model is not limited to the details of the above-described exemplary embodiments, and the present utility model can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present utility model. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description. Therefore, all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be embraced within the present utility model.
