Thus, a feature defined as "first", "second" and "third" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In the description of the present application, "multiple" means at least two, for example, two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined. All directional indications in the embodiments of the present application (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) are only used to explain the relative positional relationship, movement, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings).

[0025] References herein to "embodiments" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it constitute an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is understood, both explicitly and implicitly, by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0026] The chemical pulp flash drying line is to let flocculent pulp with a dryness of about 42% enter an air duct under the action of the drying fan suction. The outside air is heated to a certain temperature through the steam heat exchanger and then mixed with the pulp. The pulp enters a vertical drying tower. Under the action of hot air, the moisture in the pulp is continuously evaporated. At the top of the tower, the dried pulp and water vapor enter a cyclone separator. Under the action of centrifugal force, the pulp moves downward into the cooling tower, and the water vapor moves upward and is discharged. In order to ensure the drying effect and improve the utilization rate of thermal energy, this process will generally be repeated three times. The final pulp dryness can reach about 87%.

[0027] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a simplified structural diagram of an embodiment of the pulp drying system of the present application. The flash drying system in this embodiment is a three-stage drying scheme, comprising a first drying stage 10a, a second drying stage 10b, and a third drying stage 10c, which are arranged in series. Of course, in other embodiments, there may be only one, two, or more stages, and this is not specifically limited here. Each stage includes a first drying tower 100, a second drying tower 200, and a cyclone separator 300, which are arranged in series. A fan device 400 is located between the first drying tower 100 and the second drying tower 200. The thick black arrows in the figure indicate vapor discharge, and the dashed arrows indicate the flow direction of the pulp.

[0028] The fan device in the conventional solution mainly has the following technical problems.

[0029] The first choice is that since 42% of the pulp still has 58% moisture when it enters the first drying stage for drying, it contains chemicals such as NaOH and H2O2 (because the chemical pulp manufacturing method is alkaline hydrogen peroxide thermomechanical pulp, NaOH and H2O2 and other chemicals are added in the process to cause wood chip swelling pretreatment and pulp bleaching reaction), which has a certain corrosiveness; in the conventional scheme, the drying fan impeller is made of iron. The first stage drying fan impeller is easily oxidized and corroded by the pulp moistened with chemicals, falling off layer by layer, and finally perforated. The corroded iron chips contaminate the pulp and affect product quality. At the same time, the fan vibrates violently and the dynamic balance fails and cannot operate. Therefore, the iron impeller is not suitable for contacting chemical pulp with low dryness and high moisture content. There is a process defect in the first stage of chemical pulp flash drying.

[0030] In addition, 42% of the slurry enters the first drying stage. Due to the high moisture content of 58%, its weight is large. The fan device located in the first drying stage exerts a large force when transporting the slurry, which is several times that of the fan devices in the second and third drying stages. The fan itself is subjected to a reaction force; because the base of the first drying stage fan is subjected to a large force for a long time, metal fatigue occurs and cracks occur, while the bases of the second and third drying stages fan do not crack; it is concluded that the strength of the base of the first drying stage fan is insufficient in design.

[0031] Finally, the fan device was manufactured without consideration of the need for convenient maintenance. Currently, the replacement of the impeller, main shaft, etc. requires the use of a hoist for disassembly, a crane and a cart for transportation to the maintenance workshop, and then returning it for installation after maintenance. The operation is complicated and requires multiple relocations, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and extremely inconvenient.

[0032] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a fan device. Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of an embodiment of the fan device of the present application. Figure 3 yes Figure 2A structural diagram of the fan device from another perspective in the embodiment, wherein the fan device 400 in this embodiment includes: a bellows 410, an impeller 420, a base 430 and a drive assembly 440, the base 430 is used to support the drive shaft 4201 of the impeller 420, the impeller 420 is arranged in the bellows 410, and the air inlet 411 and the air outlet 412 of the bellows 410 are respectively connected to the first drying tower 100 and the second drying tower 200 (please refer to Figure 1 ).

[0033] The driving assembly 440 is used to drive the impeller 420 to rotate via the transmission shaft 4201. Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 4 4 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the drive assembly in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the drive assembly 440 may include a drive motor 441, a drive shaft 442, and a transmission belt 443. The drive motor 441 and the base 430 are respectively fixed to the mounting platform 500. The drive motor 441 drives the impeller 420 to rotate via the drive shaft 442, the transmission belt 443, and the transmission shaft 4201. Of course, in some other embodiments, other transmission methods may be used, which will not be listed or described in detail here.

[0034] Please also refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 This is a flow chart of an embodiment of the impeller of the present application. Figure 6 yes Figure 5 The schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the impeller in the embodiment, wherein the impeller 420 in this embodiment includes a rotating shaft 421 and a plurality of blades 422, wherein. The material of the impeller 420 in this embodiment is stainless steel. Specifically, it can be 316L stainless steel. 316L stainless steel has corrosion resistance, solves the problem of oxidation corrosion by wet slurry, avoids corrosion of iron filings and contamination of slurry, meets the requirements of the flash drying process characteristics of chemical pulp, and can also extend the service life of the impeller. The surface and interior of the iron impeller are corroded and uneven, and severe perforations occur. The stainless steel impeller is not corroded, and the surface is smooth and good without shedding.

[0035] Optionally, please also refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 7 This is a structural diagram of an embodiment of the base of the present application. Figure 8 yes Figure 7A schematic diagram of the base structure from another perspective in an embodiment shows a central portion of base 430, wherein a shaft hole 4301 is provided for inserting and supporting the drive shaft 4201 of impeller 420. A fork hole 431 is provided on the side of base 430. Two fork holes 431 can be provided to facilitate insertion of a forklift for transporting base 430. When maintenance is required, a forklift can be used to align the fork holes 431 for direct disassembly and transportation, simplifying previously complex operations and providing a convenient and time-saving solution.

[0036] Optionally, the base 430 may be made of a steel plate, specifically a 9 to 11 mm thick steel plate, and in this embodiment, a 10 mm thick steel plate. By increasing the thickness of the steel plate, the overall strength of the base 430 can be improved.

[0037] Optionally, the base 430 in the embodiment of the present application further includes a plurality of reinforcing ribs 432, which are disposed near the bottom. The plurality of reinforcing ribs 432 may be disposed on opposite sides of the base 430. By providing the reinforcing ribs 432 at multiple locations on the side panels of the base, the support strength and intensity can be increased, providing high-strength fatigue resistance and compensating for deficiencies in the original design.

[0038] The fan device in the embodiment of the present application first improves the material of the impeller, which is made of 316L stainless steel, which has corrosion resistance, solves the problem of oxidation corrosion by wet slurry, avoids iron filings from contaminating the slurry quality, and meets the requirements of the chemical pulp flash drying process characteristics; the fan runs stably with low vibration, extends its service life, and saves spare parts replacement and maintenance time. In addition, the strength of the base is improved: the thickness of the plate is increased from 8MM to 10MM, and strong plate ribs are set in multiple places on the front and back of the side plate to improve the support strength and strength, with high strength and fatigue resistance, making up for the shortcomings of the original design; avoiding cracking and fault shutdown and repair welding to increase maintenance time. Two fork holes are also added to the base of the fan device. During maintenance, a forklift is used to align with the fork holes for direct disassembly, assembly and transportation, simplifying the original complex operation, making it convenient and quick, and saving routine maintenance time. Combined with the above multiple improvements, the chemical pulp flash drying process is improved and perfected, product quality is excellent, equipment performance is improved, downtime and spare parts purchase are reduced, and great economic benefits are achieved.
