Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of compressed air dehumidification, in particular to a compressed air dehumidification device. Background Art

[0002] During the production of rice noodles or vermicelli, after being dried and packaged, they are weighed on a gram scale. Any products that are overweight or underweight must be removed. Currently, compressed air is the primary power source for this removal process. This air is delivered through a trachea pipe to remove overweight or underweight products from a conveyor belt. However, because compressed air is not separated from water before use, the moisture content of the compressed air used to blow through the product can exceed the specified value, contaminating the vermicelli. Furthermore, if substandard products are continuously removed, the trachea exhaust port continuously discharges compressed air, causing a drop in air pressure and malfunctioning pneumatic components in surrounding equipment, leading to severe equipment failures and downtime. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to design a compressed air dehumidification device that can remove moisture from compressed air and at the same time ensure that the operation of pneumatic components of peripheral equipment will not be affected when the compressed air continuously removes substandard products, so as to solve the problems raised in the background technology.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] A compressed air dehumidification device is provided, comprising an air storage tank, an automatic drainer and a dryer, wherein the input port of the automatic drainer is connected to a compressed air source via a first air pipe, the output port of the automatic drainer is connected to the input port of the air storage tank via a second air pipe, the output port of the air storage tank is connected to the input port of the dryer via a third air pipe, and the output port of the dryer is connected to an exhaust pipe.

[0006] Furthermore, it also includes a wastewater collection bucket, which is connected to the automatic drainer through a drainage pipe.

[0007] Furthermore, the input port of the gas storage tank is located at the bottom of the gas storage tank, and the output port of the gas storage tank is located at the top of the gas storage tank.

[0008] Furthermore, a plurality of partitions are provided between the input port of the gas storage tank and the output port of the gas storage tank.

[0009] Furthermore, the plurality of partitions are evenly arranged from top to bottom, and two adjacent partitions are staggered.

[0010] Furthermore, a support ring is provided at the bottom end of each partition.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] When the utility model is used, the compressed air in the compressed air source is input into the automatic drainer through the first air pipe, and the automatic drainer preliminarily removes moisture in the compressed air; then the compressed air is input into the air storage tank through the second air pipe for storage, ensuring that when the compressed air continuously removes substandard products, the operation of the pneumatic components of the peripheral equipment will not be affected; finally, the compressed air is input into the dryer through the third air pipe to completely remove moisture in the compressed air, and then the dehumidified compressed air is transported to the air pipe through the exhaust pipe to remove products that exceed or are underweight on the conveyor belt.

[0018] In order to further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined purpose of the invention, the specific implementation methods, structures, features and effects of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0019] Example: Please refer to Figure 1-2 A compressed air dehumidification device includes an air storage tank 1, an automatic drain 2, and a dryer 3. The automatic drain 2 is conventional and removes moisture from the air, so its detailed description is omitted. The input port of the automatic drain 2 is connected to a compressed air source via a first air pipe 4. Compressed air from the compressed air source is input into the automatic drain 2 through the first air pipe 4, where it initially removes moisture from the compressed air. The device also includes a wastewater collection tank 8, which is connected to the automatic drain 2 via a drain pipe 9 and collects moisture generated by the automatic drain 2.

[0020] The output of the automatic drainer 2 is connected to the input of the air tank 1 via a second air pipe 5. Compressed air, which has been initially dehumidified, is then fed into the air tank 1 for storage. This ensures that the compressed air continuously removes substandard products without affecting the operation of the pneumatic components of surrounding equipment. The output of the air tank 1 is connected to the input of the dryer 3 via a third air pipe 6. The output of the air tank 1 is located at the top, while the input of the air tank 1 is located at the bottom. Multiple partitions 10 are positioned between the input and output of the air tank 1. Each partition 10 has a support ring 11 at its bottom, and can hold desiccant. The partitions 10 are evenly spaced from top to bottom, with adjacent partitions 10 staggered. Compressed air flows into the output of the air tank 1, passes through the partitions 10, and is then discharged from the output of the air tank 1, further removing moisture from the compressed air. Any water accumulated in the air tank 1 can be drained through the drain port at its bottom. The output port of the dryer 3 is connected to an exhaust pipe 7. The dryer 3 is filled with activated carbon. The compressed air in the air storage tank 1 is input into the dryer 3 through the third air pipe 6 to completely remove the moisture in the compressed air. The dehumidified compressed air is then transported to the air pipe through the exhaust pipe 7 to remove products that exceed or are underweight on the conveyor belt.

[0021] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: the compressed air in the compressed air source is input into the automatic drainer 2 through the first air pipe 4, and the automatic drainer 2 preliminarily removes moisture from the compressed air; then the compressed air is input into the air storage tank 1 through the second air pipe 5 for storage, and is input into the dryer 3 through the third air pipe 6 to completely remove moisture from the compressed air. Finally, the dehumidified compressed air is transported to the air pipe through the exhaust pipe 7 to remove products that are overweight or underweight on the conveyor belt. This is how it works.
