[0028] The utility model provides a molecular sieve collecting device.
[0029] See also Figure 1 In one embodiment of the present invention, the molecular sieve collection device includes a collection structure 10 and a storage tank 20. The collection structure 10 is used to be installed at the position where the molecular sieve is filled in the hollow glass, and to collect the leaked molecular sieve; the storage tank 20 is connected to the collection structure 10 and is used to store the molecular sieve collected by the collection structure 10.
[0030] The collecting structure 10 is made of corrosion-resistant material and is designed as a hollow structure, and its outer dimensions match the inner space of the hollow glass filled molecular sieve. The storage tank 20 is made of stainless steel.
[0031] When molecular sieve leaks during the filling process of insulating glass, the leaked molecular sieve particles will enter the collection structure 10 and then enter the storage tank 20. As the molecular sieve particles inside the storage tank 20 accumulate, when a certain amount is reached, the molecular sieve particles in the storage tank 20 can be manually removed by staff or automatically collected by a machine.
[0032] The collection structure 10 of the present invention is installed at the position where the existing hollow glass is filled with molecular sieves. The connection design between the storage tank 20 and the collection structure 10 not only ensures the storage safety of the molecular sieve, but also facilitates subsequent processing and utilization. Since the molecular sieve collection device can effectively collect the leaked molecular sieve, the molecular sieve leaked during the process of filling the hollow glass with molecular sieves can be recovered, thereby avoiding the waste of molecular sieves and improving the safety of the hollow glass during the production process. This design directly solves the problem of molecular sieve leakage in the existing technology, reduces the waste of molecular sieve materials, and also reduces environmental pollution. The capacity of the storage tank 20 can be adjusted according to actual needs, which not only ensures the temporary storage of the molecular sieve, but also avoids the secondary leakage of the molecular sieve due to insufficient storage space.
[0033] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The collecting structure 10 has a collecting feed port 10a and a collecting discharge port 10b, and the diameter of the collecting feed port 10a is larger than the diameter of the collecting discharge port 10b, and the collecting discharge port 10b is connected to the storage tank 20.
[0034] Specifically, the diameter of the collection inlet 10a is carefully designed to be significantly larger than that of the collection outlet 10b. This design aims to improve collection efficiency and prevent congestion during the material feeding process. Once the material enters the collection structure 10 through the collection inlet 10a, it can flow smoothly into the storage tank 20 through the collection outlet 10b. The smaller diameter of the collection outlet 10b helps to build up a certain pressure during the material flow, thereby improving the efficiency of material transfer.
[0035] The collecting structure 10 includes a collecting feed port 10a and a collecting discharge port 10b, which have different diameters. The diameter of the collecting feed port 10a is larger than the diameter of the collecting discharge port 10b; the collecting discharge port 10b is connected to the storage tank 20 to ensure that the material enters the storage tank 20 smoothly; the collecting structure 10 is reasonably designed to effectively improve the material collection efficiency and reduce material loss; the collecting structure 10 has good sealing performance to ensure that the material does not leak during storage.
[0036] The collecting feed port 10a is arranged above the collecting structure 10, and its diameter is designed to be larger so that the material can smoothly enter the collecting structure 10. The collecting discharge port 10b is located below the collecting structure 10 and has a relatively small diameter. The design of the collecting discharge port 10b is intended to reduce the resistance of the material during the outflow process and improve the discharge efficiency. The collecting discharge port 10b is connected to the storage tank 20 to form a complete material collection and storage system. The setting of the connecting part allows the material to directly enter the storage tank 20 after flowing out of the collecting structure 10, which is convenient for subsequent storage, transportation and use.
[0037] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The collecting structure 10 is provided with a guide slope 10c between the collecting feed port 10a and the collecting discharge port 10b, and the guide slope 10c is gradually approached from the collecting feed port 10a to the collecting discharge port 10b.
[0038] The collecting structure 10 is provided with a guiding inclined surface 10c between the collecting feed port 10a and the collecting discharge port 10b. The inclined surface is arranged at an angle so that the material can slide smoothly along the inclined surface after entering the collecting structure 10, thereby improving the collection efficiency of the material.
[0039] The guide slope 10c is arranged to gradually converge from the collection inlet 10a toward the collection outlet 10b. Specifically, the guide slope 10c is wider at the end closest to the collection inlet 10a and narrower at the end closest to the collection outlet 10b. This design provides increasing restraint on the material as it moves along the slope, effectively preventing it from scattering or leaking during the collection process.
[0040] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 , the collecting structure 10 is a conical, inverted trapezoidal or triangular collecting structure 10.
[0041] The collecting structure 10 is designed in a conical shape, with a significant size difference between the bottom diameter and the top diameter of the cone to enhance the collecting efficiency.
[0042] The collecting structure 10 may be in the shape of an inverted trapezoid, with a shorter upper base and a longer lower base, and both sides inclined inwards, thereby forming a natural guiding effect inside the structure, which helps to improve the collecting effect.
[0043] The collecting structure 10 may also be designed in a triangular shape, wherein the triangular structure has three sides and three corners, at least one of which is an obtuse angle, so as to increase the depth and width of the collecting area.
[0044] Specifically, the conical collection structure 10 features a sharp top and a wide base, effectively concentrating and guiding target substances or fluids toward the center for subsequent processing or storage. The inverted trapezoidal collection structure 10, through its unique geometry, allows target substances to naturally slide down the hypotenuse upon entering the structure, achieving efficient collection. The triangular collection structure 10, through its unique angular design, enhances the stability and capacity of the collection area.
[0045] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The collection structure 10 is provided with a connecting pipe at the collection outlet 10b, and the outer wall of the connecting pipe is provided with a first thread; the storage tank 20 is provided with an assembly pipe, the assembly pipe is located in the storage tank 20, and is connected with the storage tank 20; and the inner wall of the assembly pipe is provided with a second thread, the connecting pipe extends into the assembly pipe, and the first thread is threadedly connected to the second thread.
[0046] Specifically, a dedicated assembly pipe is provided inside the storage tank 20. This assembly pipe is strategically positioned within the storage tank 20 and communicates with the internal space of the storage tank 20, ensuring smooth transfer of materials between the collection structure 10 and the storage tank 20. The inner wall of the assembly pipe is provided with a second thread that mates with the first thread on the outer wall of the connecting pipe.
[0047] During implementation, the connecting tube extends into the assembly tube, and through the tight threaded connection between the first and second threads, a secure connection is achieved between the collection structure 10 and the storage tank 20. This design not only improves the stability of the connection but also facilitates maintenance and disassembly. Furthermore, the threaded connection provides excellent sealing performance, effectively preventing material leakage during transportation and ensuring the safety and reliability of the system.
[0048] The collection structure 10 includes one or more collection outlets 10b for outputting the material collected from the outside to the connecting pipe. The design of the collection structure 10 takes into account the efficiency and convenience of material collection, ensuring that the material can be fully collected and sorted before entering the connecting pipe.
[0049] The connecting pipe is made of high-strength material with high wear and corrosion resistance. The outer wall of the connecting pipe is provided with a first thread, the shape and size of which match the second thread of the assembly pipe, ensuring the firmness and stability of the connection.
[0050] The storage tank 20 is provided with an assembly pipe, the inner wall of which is provided with a second thread. The position and size of the assembly pipe are reasonably designed so that it can be smoothly threadedly connected to the connecting pipe and ensure the smooth flow of materials in the storage tank 20.
[0051] The utility model also adopts a special thread processing technology, which makes the fit between the first thread and the second thread tighter, effectively reducing the risk of material leakage during the transportation process.
[0052] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 , the storage tank 20 is a transparent storage tank 20.
[0053] The storage tank 20 of the present invention is made of a transparent material with excellent transparency, allowing the color, state, and liquid level of the stored material to be clearly observed. The design of the transparent storage tank 20 allows the user to easily understand the actual situation of the stored material at any time, ensuring the safety of the storage process.
[0054] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The molecular sieve collection device further includes a recovery conduit 30 , which is connected to the side wall of the storage tank 20 and is used to transport the molecular sieve in the storage tank 20 back to the filling equipment.
[0055] The molecular sieve collection device further incorporates an efficient and convenient recovery system, primarily comprising a recovery conduit 30. This conduit 30 is constructed from corrosion- and wear-resistant materials and features a rationally designed structure to ensure smooth molecular sieve transport. Specifically, one end of the recovery conduit 30 communicates with the sidewall of the storage tank 20, with a precise interface design ensuring a tight and stable connection.
[0056] After a period of use, when the molecular sieve's adsorption capacity declines or needs replacement, the recovery conduit 30 plays a crucial role. It efficiently transports the molecular sieve from the storage tank 20 back to the filling equipment for regeneration or reactivation. This process not only improves molecular sieve utilization and reduces production costs, but also minimizes environmental impact.
[0057] Furthermore, the design of the recovery conduit 30 features a smooth inner wall, minimizing resistance during molecular sieve transport and reducing energy consumption. The conduit also exhibits a degree of flexibility, adapting to changes in the relative position of the storage tank 20 and the filling equipment, ensuring a secure connection. The recovery conduit 30 is equipped with the necessary valves and control systems to regulate and control the delivery of the molecular sieve when needed.
[0058] In summary, the recovery conduit 30 in the molecular sieve collection device, as a key component, not only realizes the efficient recovery of the molecular sieve, but also provides a strong guarantee for the stable operation of the entire molecular sieve collection system.
[0059] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The recovery conduit 30 is connected to the end of the storage tank 20 away from the collection structure 10.
[0060] The recovery conduit 30 and storage tank 20 are connected together in a specific manner to form a single unit. One end of the recovery conduit 30 is connected to the collection structure 10, effectively recovering the substances or gases generated within the collection structure 10. However, to ensure the safety and stability of the system, while also considering the ease of operation and maintenance, the design of the other end of the recovery conduit 30 is particularly important.
[0061] The end of the recovery conduit 30, remote from the collection structure 10, is tightly connected to the interface of the storage tank 20. This connection not only ensures smooth material transfer between the conduit and the storage tank 20, but also facilitates monitoring and management of the contents within the storage tank 20. Furthermore, this connection location helps reduce pressure loss within the system, allowing the molecular sieve at the bottom of the storage tank 20 to flow easily into the recovery conduit 30, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire recovery system.
[0062] One end of the recovery conduit 30 is tightly connected to the end of the storage tank 20, remote from the collection structure 10, via a specific connection structure or interface. The connection between the recovery conduit 30 and the storage tank 20 may include, but is not limited to, threaded connections, flange connections, snap-fit connections, or other suitable connection methods to provide convenience and reliability during installation and maintenance. Furthermore, the connection design between the recovery conduit 30 and the storage tank 20 takes into account structural strength and sealing performance to ensure the stability and safety of the system during long-term operation.
[0063] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 , the retrieval catheter 30 is a flexible catheter.
[0064] The recovery catheter 30 is constructed as a flexible catheter, which has excellent flexibility and bending performance and can flexibly adapt to various spatial layouts and shape changes in complex environments.
[0065] The flexible material used in the recovery conduit 30 exhibits excellent physical and chemical properties, enabling stable operation in harsh environments such as high temperature, high pressure, and corrosive environments, ensuring the conduit's reliability and durability. The flexible design of the recovery conduit 30 allows it to smoothly navigate narrow passages and curved pipes during the recovery process, reducing resistance and improving recovery efficiency. The recovery conduit 30 utilizes high-strength connectors and seals to ensure a secure and reliable connection between the conduit and the equipment during the recovery process, preventing leakage and disengagement.
[0066] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The recovery conduit 30 is arranged at an angle to the storage tank 20 .
[0067] In this invention, to improve recovery efficiency and ensure system stability, the recovery conduit 30 is positioned at a specific angle to the storage tank 20. This angle has been carefully calculated and optimized to effectively prevent backflow of liquid during the recovery process while ensuring that the liquid in the recovery conduit 30 flows smoothly into the storage tank 20.
[0068] One end of the recovery conduit 30 is connected to the inlet of the storage tank 20, and the other end is connected to the outlet of the device or work area. During the connection process, a specific angle is formed between the recovery conduit 30 and the storage tank 20. The angle can be adjusted according to the actual application scenario and requirements. For example, in general, the angle can be set between 45° and 60°. The specific value of the angle also depends on factors such as the size and material of the recovery conduit 30 and the storage tank 20, as well as the operating pressure of the system.
[0069] By setting this angle, the liquid in the recovery conduit 30 can flow smoothly into the storage tank 20 under the action of gravity, while avoiding liquid leakage or equipment damage caused by backflow. In addition, this angle setting is also conducive to reducing the resistance in the recovery conduit 30 and improving recovery efficiency.

All equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the technical concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
