Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of molecular sieve oxygen production equipment, in particular to a multi-cavity molecular sieve for an air separation device. Background Art
[0002] The process of molecular sieve oxygen production includes passing pressurized raw air into an oxygen separator equipped with molecular sieves, and the molecular sieves adsorb nitrogen, carbon dioxide and other gases in the air. The adsorbed gas is high-concentration oxygen.
[0003] After searching, it was found that the publication number is CN216909755U, and the name is a molecular sieve adsorption oxygen separator with a multi-cavity structure. The application proposes that the oxygen separator in the prior art generally uses a single type of molecular sieve for adsorption, and the oxygen concentration in the gas after adsorption is not ideal. By setting different cavities and filling large-diameter calcium-based molecular sieves, small-diameter calcium-based molecular sieves, sodium-based molecular sieves, and lithium-based molecular sieves in different cavities, the compressed air passes through the above-mentioned molecular sieves in sequence to improve the oxygen concentration in the gas after adsorption separation; and the large-diameter calcium-based molecular sieve and small-diameter calcium-based molecular sieve, as well as the sodium-based molecular sieve and the lithium-based molecular sieve are separated by a filter mesh and a filter cotton, on the one hand, to avoid mixing between different molecular sieves to affect the adsorption effect, and on the other hand, to absorb moisture in the compressed air to further increase the oxygen concentration. However, the application cannot quickly switch after the calcium-based molecular sieve, sodium-based molecular sieve and lithium-based molecular sieve are saturated. The replacement process is more troublesome and time-consuming. The separation work cannot be performed synchronously during replacement, which affects the work efficiency and the continuity and convenience of use. Further improvements can be made.
[0004] Currently, no effective solutions have been proposed for the problems in related technologies. Utility Model Content

[0029] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a multi-cavity molecular sieve for an air separation device is provided.
[0030] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Figure 1-4As shown, according to the embodiment of the utility model, a multi-cavity molecular sieve for an air separation device includes a sieve drum body 1 and a main shaft 2. The main shaft 2 is rotatably connected to the inside of the sieve drum body 1, and a microporous plate 5 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the main shaft 2. The two sides of the microporous plate 5 are located on the outer wall of the main shaft 2 and are fixedly connected to the partition plate 3. There are multiple partition plates 3 and multiple microporous plates 5. The microporous plates 5 divide the inside of the sieve drum body 1 into different spaces, and the spaces are respectively filled with sodium-based molecular sieves, lithium-based molecular sieves and calcium-based molecular sieves. Molecular sieve is a common material in this field and will not be described in detail here. An air inlet 12 and an air outlet 14 are respectively provided at both ends of the sieve drum body 1, and a first filter screen 13 and a second filter screen 15 are fixedly connected to the inside of the air inlet 12 and the air outlet 14, respectively. A feed pipe 8 is connected to the top surface of the sieve drum body 1, and a discharge pipe 10 is connected to the bottom surface of the sieve drum body 1. The pore size of the first filter screen 13 and the second filter screen 15 are smaller than the particle size of the sodium-based molecular sieve, the lithium-based molecular sieve and the calcium-based molecular sieve to avoid the sodium-based molecular sieve. The sieve, lithium-based molecular sieve and calcium-based molecular sieve enter the air inlet pipe and the exhaust pipe. A plurality of microporous plates 5 are arranged to divide the interior of the sieve drum body 1 into spaces with different spacings. The spaces with different spacings are filled with sodium-based molecular sieves, lithium-based molecular sieves and calcium-based molecular sieves from left to right. When separating the air, the air inlet pipe is connected to the air inlet 12, and the air outlet pipe is connected to the air outlet 14. The air enters the interior of the sieve drum body 1 through the air inlet 12, enters between the partition plates 3, passes through the sodium-based molecular sieve, lithium-based molecular sieve and calcium-based molecular sieve, and enters the exhaust pipe. After the sodium-based molecular sieve and the calcium-based molecular sieve are separated, they flow out of the air outlet 14. When the sodium-based molecular sieve, the lithium-based molecular sieve and the calcium-based molecular sieve are saturated, the staff can rotate the crank 7, and then rotate the main shaft 2, and then rotate the partition plate 3 to align the saturated sodium-based molecular sieve, the lithium-based molecular sieve and the calcium-based molecular sieve with the discharge pipe 10, and align the new sodium-based molecular sieve, the lithium-based molecular sieve and the calcium-based molecular sieve with the air inlet 12 and the air outlet 14, and continue the separation work to complete the rapid switching, thereby improving the convenience of use and work efficiency.
[0031] In one embodiment, the number of feed pipes 8 and discharge pipes 10 corresponds to the number of internal spaces of the sieve drum body 1, and the top opening of the feed pipe 8 and the bottom opening of the discharge pipe 10 are respectively threadedly connected with a top cover 9 and a bottom cover 11. The staff can open the bottom cover 11, and the saturated sodium-based molecular sieve, lithium-based molecular sieve and calcium-based molecular sieve can flow out of the sieve drum body 1, completing the discharge. At the same time, the staff can open the top cover 9 and reload new sodium-based molecular sieve, lithium-based molecular sieve and calcium-based molecular sieve between the partition plates 3. The replacement of the sodium-based molecular sieve, lithium-based molecular sieve and calcium-based molecular sieve is completed during the separation process, avoiding the problem that traditional equipment cannot separate the air synchronously when replacing the sodium-based molecular sieve, lithium-based molecular sieve and calcium-based molecular sieve, thereby improving work efficiency and convenience of use.
[0032] In one embodiment, multiple partition plates 3 are arranged at equal angles along the central axis of the main shaft 2, and a sealing edge strip 4 is fixedly connected to the edge of the other end of the partition plate 3, and the sealing edge strip 4 is in sliding contact with the inner wall of the sieve drum body 1. The sealing edge strip 4 plays a role of sealing and isolation to prevent air from entering the interior of other non-working sodium-based molecular sieves, lithium-based molecular sieves and calcium-based molecular sieves.
[0033] In one embodiment, a sealing ring 6 is fixedly connected to the outer edge of the microporous plate 5, and the outer wall of the sealing ring 6 slides against the inner wall of the sieve cylinder body 1. The sealing ring 6 plays a role of sealing and isolation to prevent air from entering the interior of other non-working sodium-based molecular sieves, lithium-based molecular sieves and calcium-based molecular sieves.
[0034] In one embodiment, the surface of the microporous plate 5 is densely provided with micropores, and the pore size of the micropores is smaller than the minimum particle size of the sodium-based molecular sieve, the lithium-based molecular sieve and the calcium-based molecular sieve, thereby avoiding the doping disorder of the sodium-based molecular sieve, the lithium-based molecular sieve and the calcium-based molecular sieve while ventilating.
[0035] In one embodiment, a crank 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the main shaft 2 , and the main shaft 2 is coaxially arranged with the screen drum body 1 , and the staff rotates the main shaft 2 at the edge of the crank 7 .

[0037] In one embodiment, the main shaft 2 is rotatably connected to both ends of the screen drum body 1 through sealed bearings to avoid air leakage.
[0038] Working principle:
[0039] When separating the air, the air inlet pipe is connected to the air inlet 12, and the air outlet pipe is connected to the air outlet 14. The air enters the interior of the sieve drum body 1 through the air inlet 12, enters between the partition plates 3, and flows out of the air outlet 14 after being separated by the sodium-based molecular sieve, the lithium-based molecular sieve and the calcium-based molecular sieve. When the sodium-based molecular sieve, the lithium-based molecular sieve and the calcium-based molecular sieve are saturated, the staff can rotate the crank 7, and then rotate the main shaft 2, and then rotate the partition plate 3 to rotate the saturated sodium-based molecular sieve, the lithium-based molecular sieve and the calcium-based molecular sieve to align with the discharge pipe 10, and align the new sodium-based molecular sieve, the lithium-based molecular sieve and the calcium-based molecular sieve with the air inlet 12 and the air outlet 14. , continue the separation work, complete the rapid switching, improve the convenience of use and work efficiency, at the same time, the staff can open the bottom cover 11, the saturated sodium-based molecular sieve, lithium-based molecular sieve and calcium-based molecular sieve can flow out of the sieve drum body 1, completing the discharge, at the same time, the staff can open the top cover 9, and reload the new sodium-based molecular sieve, lithium-based molecular sieve and calcium-based molecular sieve between the partition plates 3, and complete the replacement of the sodium-based molecular sieve, lithium-based molecular sieve and calcium-based molecular sieve during the separation process, avoiding the problem that traditional equipment cannot separate the air synchronously when replacing the sodium-based molecular sieve, lithium-based molecular sieve and calcium-based molecular sieve, thereby improving work efficiency and convenience of use.
