[0002] Ferric phosphate is the only precursor of lithium iron phosphate cathode material.

[0034] Embodiments of the present application provide a cooling system, specifically a countercurrent cooling system for a rotary kiln, which is used to cool the materials after being calcined in the rotary kiln. For example, the materials can be iron phosphate, or other products after being processed through the calcination and dehydration process.

[0035] Combined Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the cooling system includes a cooling kiln 100, a spraying device 200, a circulating device 300, and a cooling device 400.

[0036] The cooling kiln 100 includes a housing 110 and a cylinder 120. The cylinder 120 is penetrated through the housing 110. The cylinder 120 has a feeding end 121 and a discharging end 122, and the cylinder 120 is used for conveying materials. In addition, a plurality of chambers 130 are formed between the inner wall of the housing 110 and the outer wall of the cylinder 120, and the plurality of chambers 130 are arranged along the length direction of the cylinder 120.

[0037] The spraying device 200 includes spray head assemblies 210 respectively arranged in the plurality of chambers 130, and the number of the spray head assemblies 210 is the same as the number of the chambers 130.

[0038] The circulating device 300 is connected to the bottom of the chamber 130 and the spray head assemblies 210 in the adjacent chamber 130, so that the coolant flows between the adjacent two chambers 130 in a direction opposite to the material conveying direction. Specifically, it makes the coolant flow from the bottom of the chamber 130 to the spray head assemblies 210 in the adjacent chamber 130, and then spray out from the spray head assemblies 210 in the adjacent chamber 130.

[0039] The cooling device 400 has a liquid return end 411 and a liquid outlet end 421, and the liquid return end 411 is connected to the bottom of the chamber 130 adjacent to the feeding end 121, and the liquid outlet end 421 is connected to the spray head assemblies 210 in the chamber 130 adjacent to the discharging end 122.

[0040] When using the above cooling system, the material enters the cylinder 120 from the feeding end 121 and is discharged from the discharging end 122. At the same time, the coolant cooled by the cooling device 400 flows into the spray head assembly 210 in the chamber 130 adjacent to the discharging end 122 from the liquid outlet end 421, sprays and cools the cylinder 120 in the chamber 130 and the material in the cylinder 120, and then flows by gravity to the bottom of the chamber 130. On this basis, the circulation device 300 makes the coolant flow between two adjacent chambers 130 in the direction opposite to the material conveying direction, so that the coolant is sprayed out through the spray head assemblies 210 in each chamber 130 in turn, and sprays and cools the cylinder 120 in each chamber 130 and the material in the cylinder 120. The coolant finally flows by gravity to the bottom of the chamber 130 adjacent to the feeding end 121, and returns to the cooling device 400 through the liquid return end 411 for re-cooling.

[0041] Therefore, the above cooling system can achieve multi-stage countercurrent spray cooling, enabling the coolant to exchange heat with the cylinder 120 multiple times. Since the temperature of the material in the cylinder 120 gradually decreases along the material conveying direction, and the temperature of the coolant gradually decreases in the direction opposite to the material conveying direction, the temperature difference between the coolant and the material always remains within a certain range, with higher heat exchange efficiency and less water consumption under the condition of achieving the same cooling effect.

[0042] In contrast, the traditional cooling method is that a spray pipe sprays the entire cylinder 120. At the feeding end 121 of the cylinder 120, the temperature difference between the coolant and the material is the largest and the heat exchange efficiency is the highest. However, when the temperature difference between the coolant and the material is too large, the increase in the temperature difference is not obvious for the improvement of the heat exchange efficiency. On the contrary, at the discharging end 122 of the cylinder 120, the temperature difference between the coolant and the material is the smallest and the heat exchange efficiency is significantly reduced. Generally speaking, the traditional cooling method has the problem of unreasonable coolant distribution, with low heat exchange efficiency and huge water consumption in order to achieve sufficient cooling effect.

[0043] In one embodiment, the cylinder 120 is rotatably arranged on the housing 110. In addition, the cooling kiln 100 further includes a driving member 140. The driving end of the driving member 140 is connected to the cylinder 120 to drive the cylinder 120 to rotate.

[0044] After the material enters the cylinder 120 from the feeding end 121, with the rotation of the cylinder 120, the material moves forward under the action of its own gravity and the friction force between the material and the cylinder 120, and finally is discharged from the discharging end 122.

[0045] Exemplarily, the driving member 140 adopts a driving motor, and a gear is sleeved on the shaft of the driving motor as the driving end. Correspondingly, a gear ring meshing with the gear is sleeved on the cylinder 120. When in use, the driving motor drives the cylinder 120 to rotate through the gear and the gear ring.

[0046] Combined with Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, a first barrier 111 is provided on the inner wall of the housing 110. The first barrier 111 is disposed around the cylinder 120 and is in clearance fit with the cylinder 120. The first barrier 111 divides the cavity between the housing 110 and the cylinder 120 to form a plurality of chambers 130.

[0047] It can be understood that when the number of the first barriers 111 is N, the cavity between the housing 110 and the cylinder 120 is divided by N first barriers 111 to form N + 1 chambers 130. Wherein, N is a positive integer.

[0048] In use, the spraying assembly is located above the cylinder 120, and sprays the coolant downward onto the surface of the cylinder 120. The coolant flows downward by gravity to the bottom of the chamber 130 and accumulates in the groove-shaped space formed by the enclosure of the cylinder 120 and the first barrier 111. Thus, the coolant in each chamber 130 is not easily intermingled.

[0049] Exemplarily, the first barrier 111 is an annular baffle. The first barrier 111 is perpendicular to the length direction of the cylinder 120. The outer periphery of the first barrier 111 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 110, and there is a gap between the inner periphery of the first barrier 111 and the outer wall of the cylinder 120. During the rotation of the cylinder 120, the first barrier 111 does not rub against the cylinder 120.

[0050] Further, in some embodiments, a second barrier 123 is provided on the outer wall of the cylinder 120. The second barrier 123 is disposed around the cylinder 120 and is in clearance fit with the housing 110. The second barrier 123 is adjacent to the first barrier 111.

[0051] In use, the second barrier 123 separates the outer wall of the cylinder 120 in two adjacent chambers 130, which can prevent the coolant from flowing directly into the adjacent chamber 130 along the outer wall of the cylinder 120, and cooperate with the first barrier 111 to better prevent the coolant in each chamber 130 from intermingling.

[0052] It can be understood that the number of the second barriers 123 is not less than the number of the first barriers 111. For example, the number of the second barriers 123 is equal to the number of the first barriers 111, and each second barrier 123 is adjacent to a first barrier 111 respectively. Or, the number of the second barriers 123 is two more than the number of the first barriers 111. One of the second barriers 123 is adjacent to one end of the housing 110, and the other second barrier 123 is adjacent to the other end of the housing 110. The remaining second barriers 123 are adjacent to a first barrier 111 respectively.

[0053] Exemplarily, the second barrier 123 also adopts an annular baffle. The second barrier 123 is perpendicular to the length direction of the cylinder 120. The inner circumference of the second barrier 123 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cylinder 120, and there is a gap between the outer circumference of the second barrier 123 and the inner wall of the housing 110. During the rotation of the cylinder 120 and the second barrier 123, the second barrier 123 does not rub against the housing 110. In addition, there is a gap between the second barrier 123 and the adjacent first barrier 111, and the second barrier 123 does not rub against the adjacent first barrier 111.

[0054] Combined Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the spraying device 200 further includes a regulating valve 220, and the liquid outlet end 421 is connected to the spray head assembly 210 in the chamber 130 adjacent to the discharge end 122 through the regulating valve 220.

[0055] Correspondingly, a temperature sensor 124 is provided at the discharge end 122, and the temperature sensor 124 is electrically connected to the regulating valve 220.

[0056] During use, the temperature sensor 124 monitors the discharge temperature of the cooling kiln 100 in real time. When the discharge temperature is higher than the set value, the discharge temperature outputs a signal to the regulating valve 220, and the opening degree of the regulating valve 220 increases, so that the flow rate of the circulating coolant increases, improving the cooling effect, so as to keep the discharge temperature of the cooling kiln 100 stable.

[0057] It can be understood that the regulating valve 220 adopts an electric control valve, and the regulating valve 220 and the temperature sensor 124 are respectively connected to an external control system. The temperature sensor 124 obtains the discharge temperature information of the cooling kiln 100 and transmits the discharge temperature information to the control system. The control system compares the discharge temperature with the set value. When the discharge temperature is higher than the set value, the control system controls the regulating valve 220 to increase the opening degree of the regulating valve 220.

[0058] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the spraying device 200 further includes a flow meter 230. The flow meter 230 is located between the liquid outlet end 421 and the spray head assembly 210 in the chamber 130 adjacent to the discharge end 122, specifically between the regulating valve 220 and the spray head assembly 210 in the chamber 130 adjacent to the discharge end 122.

[0059] During use, the flow meter 230 can monitor the flow rate of the circulating coolant.

[0060] In one embodiment, the circulating device 300 includes a circulating water tank 310, a circulating water pump 320 and a liquid level sensor 330.

[0061] Among them, the circulating water tank 310 is placed below the cooling kiln 100 and is connected to the bottom of the chamber 130. The circulating water pump 320 is connected to the circulating water tank 310 and the spray head assembly 210 in the adjacent chamber 130. The liquid level sensor 330 is arranged on the circulating water tank 310, and the liquid level sensor 330 is electrically connected to the circulating water pump 320.

[0062] During use, the coolant accumulated at the bottom of the chamber 130 flows into the circulating water tank 310 by gravity. The circulating water pump 320 pumps the coolant in the circulating water tank 310 into the spray head assembly 210 in the adjacent chamber 130, so that the coolant continues to be sprayed on the cylinder body 120 through the spray head assembly 210 in the adjacent chamber 130 to cool the material in the cylinder body 120.

[0063] During this process, the liquid level sensor 330 monitors the liquid level in the circulating water tank 310 in real time. When the liquid level in the circulating water tank 310 is lower than a preset value, the circulating water pump 320 stops working. When the liquid level in the circulating water tank 310 is higher than another preset value, the circulating water pump 320 starts to work, and so on in a cycle.

[0064] It can be understood that the motor in the circulating water pump 320 and the liquid level sensor 330 are respectively connected to an external control system. The liquid level sensor 330 obtains the liquid level information of the circulating water tank 310 and transmits the liquid level information to the control system. The control system compares the liquid level information with two preset values, and then controls the motor of the circulating water pump 320 to start or stop running.

[0065] Further, in some embodiments, the circulating device 300 further includes a check valve 340 and a manual valve 350. The circulating water pump 320 is connected to the spray head assembly 210 in the adjacent chamber 130 through the check valve 340 and the manual valve 350 in sequence.

[0066] During use, the check valve 340 can prevent the coolant from flowing back. The manual valve 350 is a normally open valve and is manually closed by the operator during maintenance or repair.

[0067] In one embodiment, the cooling device 400 includes a cooling tower 410 and a cooling water pump 420 which are connected to each other.

[0068] Among them, the cooling tower 410 has a liquid return end 411 and is connected to the bottom of the chamber 130 adjacent to the feeding end 121. The cooling water pump 420 has a liquid outlet end 421 and is connected to the spray head assembly 210 in the chamber 130 adjacent to the discharging end 122.

[0069] During use, the coolant sprays and cools the cylinder body 120 for the last time in the chamber 130 adjacent to the feeding end 121, then flows into the cooling tower 410. After being cooled by the cooling tower 410, it is pumped into the spraying device 200 by the cooling water pump 420 for the next cycle.

[0070] In this embodiment, the chamber 130 includes a first chamber 131, a second chamber 132, and a third chamber 133. Among them, the first chamber 131 is adjacent to the discharge end 122, the third chamber 133 is adjacent to the feed end 121, and the second chamber 132 is located between the first chamber 131 and the third chamber 133.

[0071] Correspondingly, the nozzle assembly 210 includes a first nozzle assembly 211 disposed in the first chamber 131, a second nozzle assembly 212 disposed in the second chamber 132, and a third nozzle assembly 213 disposed in the third chamber 133, and the first nozzle assembly 211 is connected to the cooling device 400 through a flow meter 230 and a regulating valve 220.

[0072] In addition, the circulation device 300 includes a first circulation device 300a and a second circulation device 300b. Both the first circulation device 300a and the second circulation device 300b include structures such as a circulation water tank 310, a circulation water pump 320, and a liquid level sensor 330. The first circulation device 300a is connected to the bottom of the first chamber 131 and the second nozzle assembly 212, and the second circulation device 300b is connected to the bottom of the second chamber 132 and the third nozzle assembly 213.

[0073] During use, the coolant cooled in the cooling tower 410 is pumped into the first nozzle assembly 211 through the cooling water pump 420 to spray and cool the cylinder body 120 in the first chamber 131, and then it flows by gravity to the bottom of the first chamber 131. Under the action of the first circulation device 300a, the coolant at the bottom of the first chamber 131 flows into the second nozzle assembly 212 to spray and cool the cylinder body 120 in the second chamber 132, and then it flows by gravity to the bottom of the second chamber 132. Under the action of the second circulation device 300b, the coolant at the bottom of the second chamber 132 flows into the third nozzle assembly 213 to spray and cool the cylinder body 120 in the third chamber 133, and then it flows by gravity to the bottom of the third chamber 133. Finally, the coolant at the bottom of the third chamber 133 flows into the cooling tower 410 and is cooled again by the cooling tower 410 for the next cycle.

[0074] During this process, the temperature of the coolant sprayed by the first nozzle assembly 211 is the lowest, and the temperature of the coolant sprayed by the third nozzle assembly 213 is the highest. Correspondingly, the temperature of the material in the cylinder body 120 in the first chamber 131 is the lowest, and the temperature of the material in the cylinder body 120 in the third chamber 133 is the highest. Therefore, the temperature difference between the coolant and the material in each chamber 130 always remains within a certain range, the heat exchange efficiency is higher, and the water consumption is less under the condition of achieving the same cooling effect.

[0075] Further, in some embodiments, the circulation device 300 further includes a third circulation device 300c. The third circulation device 300c is connected to the bottom of the third chamber 133 and the cooling device 400 to allow the coolant at the bottom of the third chamber 133 to flow into the cooling device 400.

[0076] It can be understood that when the height of the cooling tower 410 is not lower than that of the cylinder body 120, the third circulation device 300c can ensure the smooth circulation of the coolant. Conversely, if the height of the cooling tower 410 is lower than that of the cylinder body 120, the third circulation device 300c may not be provided, and the coolant at the bottom of the third chamber 133 can flow by gravity into the cooling tower 410.

[0077] In summary, the above cooling system divides the cavity between the housing 110 and the cylinder body 120 to form multiple chambers 130, and sprays the coolant on the cylinder body 120 in each chamber 130 in turn in a direction opposite to the material conveying direction to achieve multi-stage countercurrent spray cooling, enabling the coolant to exchange heat with the cylinder body 120 multiple times. At this time, the temperature difference between the coolant and the material always remains within a certain range, the heat exchange efficiency is higher, and less water is used to achieve the same cooling effect.
