Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vacuum drying equipment, and more specifically to a vacuum sealing device and a vacuum dryer for rotary drying of high-purity quartz. Background Art
[0002] In the production and processing of high-purity quartz sand, after undergoing processes such as crushing, screening, flotation, purification, and dehydration, the sand still requires a further drying step before packaging. A commonly used drying equipment for granular or powdered materials is the double-cone rotary vacuum dryer. This works by evacuating the material cavity within the cone. Heat energy is then transferred through the double-cone jacket, and the rotating double-cone rotates the material, drying it. Simultaneously, moisture in the material is converted to water vapor through the vacuum line and removed from the double-cone cavity. The vacuum line seals typically utilize O-rings or lip seals. However, due to the high purity requirements and the abrasive nature of the particles, existing vacuum seals for high-purity quartz sand drying processes have a short service life, are prone to material spillage on the sealing surface, and, when the seal wears, can easily draw rust into the cavity, contaminating the material. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is how to reduce the replacement cost of the sealing element.
[0004] The utility model solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical means: a vacuum sealing device for rotary drying of high-purity quartz, comprising an inner cylinder, a driving shaft, and a vacuum tube, wherein the inner cylinder is fixedly connected to the driving shaft and both are rotatably matched with the vacuum tube, a third sealing member is provided between the rotating matching surfaces of the driving shaft and the vacuum tube, the third sealing member comprises a filling groove and a sealing gland opened in the matching surface, the filling groove is filled with filler, the sealing gland is detachably fixed to the driving shaft, and can cause the filling groove to form a closed cavity structure.
[0005] By providing a third seal between the driving shaft and the rotating mating surface of the vacuum tube, when the packing is worn within a certain range through the packing seal, the packing can be continued to be used by adjusting the compression amount of the sealing cover, thereby reducing the replacement cycle of the seal, ensuring the sealing effect and improving the service life of the seal.
[0006] As a preferred technical solution, a first seal is provided between the rotating mating surface of the inner cylinder and the vacuum tube. The first seal includes a sealing shell, a support bearing, and a lip-shaped sealing ring. The sealing shell is provided with a closed first cavity structure. The support bearing and the lip-shaped sealing ring are both arranged in the first cavity structure. The outer ring of the support bearing is fixed to the inner cylinder through the sealing shell, and the inner ring of the support bearing is fixed to the vacuum tube.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the inner cylinder is fixedly connected to the driving shaft, and an O-ring is provided at the connecting surface between the inner cylinder and the driving shaft.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the sealing shell includes a left connecting part and a right connecting part, and the left connecting part and the right connecting part respectively include a pressure cover and a sealing ring. The pressure cover and the sealing ring are fastened by bolts, and the center hole of the lip sealing ring is connected to the vacuum tube.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution, an annular shaft head is fixedly connected to the outer side of the inner cylinder, and a positioning step is provided at one end of the annular shaft head connected to the driving shaft.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the annular shaft head, the inner cylinder, the driving shaft, and the vacuum tube form a second cavity structure, and the inner wall of the second cavity structure is coated with a polytetrafluoroethylene coating.
[0011] As an optimal technical solution, a gap is left between the driving shaft and the vacuum tube, a hollow step is provided in the driving shaft, and a steam suction hole is provided at one end of the vacuum tube extending into the inner cylinder, and the steam suction hole is covered with polytetrafluoroethylene filter cloth.
[0012] As an optimal technical solution, it also includes a seat bearing, a driving wheel, and a support platform. The seat bearing is rotatably matched with the driving shaft, the driving wheel is fixedly connected to the driving shaft, and the driving wheel is transmission-connected to the output end of the external driving device, and can drive the driving shaft to drive the inner cylinder to rotate with its axis as the rotating axis.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the support platform, and the fixing plate is fixedly connected to the vacuum tube through a connecting plate. The connecting plate and the fixing plate are fixedly connected by bolts, and a mounting hole is opened on the connecting plate, and a rubber connecting ring is provided in the mounting hole, and the bolt passes through the rubber connecting ring.
[0014] A vacuum dryer comprises any one of the above-mentioned vacuum sealing devices for rotary drying of high-purity quartz.
[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0016] (1) In the present invention, a third seal is provided between the rotating mating surface of the driving shaft and the vacuum tube. When the packing wears within a certain range through the packing seal, the packing can be continued to be used by adjusting the compression of the sealing cover.

[0018] (3) In the present invention, the flexible rubber connecting ring is provided to limit the rotation of the vacuum tube along with the inner cylinder, and to compensate for the radial displacement caused by the rotation of the driving shaft when there is a radial assembly error between the driving shaft and the annular shaft head, thereby protecting the lip sealing surface of the first sealing member and the packing sealing surface of the third sealing member on the vacuum tube, effectively preventing leakage caused by damage to the sealing surface due to radial displacement, ensuring the normal wear of the sealing surface, and significantly improving the service life of the seal.
[0019] (4) In the present invention, in places where rust may be generated during production, polytetrafluoroethylene is sprayed on the inner surface of the cavity between the lip sealing surface of the first seal and the packing sealing surface of the third seal as an anti-corrosion treatment to prevent rust from forming. This ensures that even if the gap between the lip sealing surface worn by high-purity quartz sand during use is larger than the particle size of the quartz sand, since the inner cylinder is in a negative pressure state, when a small amount of condensed air sucked from the O-ring sealing surface or the packing sealing surface is adsorbed on the inner surface of the cavity between the first lip sealing surface and the third packing sealing surface, rust will not form. This effectively ensures the cleanliness of the drying environment required for the dried high-purity quartz sand material and significantly reduces the risk of iron ions from the carbon steel parts outside the equipment being mixed into the contaminated material.
