Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of macromolecular elastomer drying and dehydration equipment, in particular to a dehydration system of an extrusion dehydrator. Background Art

[0002] Dehydration of materials is a crucial process in numerous industrial fields, such as food processing, chemicals, mining, papermaking, and wastewater treatment. In the chemical industry, many chemical reaction products or raw materials often contain significant amounts of water. For example, in polymerization reactions, the polymer slurry must be dehydrated before it can be processed into finished products. Failure to remove this water effectively can alter the polymer's physical and chemical properties, such as its hardness and toughness, and thus fail to meet product performance requirements.

[0003] The centrifuge's high-speed rotation generates centrifugal force to remove moisture from the material. This method improves dewatering efficiency to a certain extent, but for some highly viscous materials, such as sticky sludge and highly concentrated chemical slurries, centrifugal force cannot effectively separate the water from the material. Furthermore, the high-speed rotation of the centrifuge causes significant wear and tear during operation, leading to high maintenance costs and safety risks, such as violent vibration caused by rotor imbalance. With the advancement of mechanical manufacturing technology, extrusion dewatering equipment has gradually become larger and more automated. Its basic principle is to apply external pressure, causing moisture to seep or squeeze out of the material due to a pressure differential. In this process, the material is placed between a filter medium with a certain porosity (such as a filter screen or filter cloth). The pressure exerted on the material forces the water to pass through the filter medium, while the solid material is retained. With the continuous expansion of industrial production and the increasing demand for product quality, the research and development of extrusion dewatering machines has continued to deepen, focusing on higher dewatering efficiency, wider material compatibility, and lower energy consumption. They have gradually become a key equipment in the material dewatering industry.

[0004] Most of the extrusion dehydrators currently in use adopt cage-type dehydration. However, during dehydration, the screw of the extruder continuously squeezes the elastomer, causing the elastomer in the cage to flow from high pressure to low pressure, resulting in varying degrees of medium leakage. In the case of medium leakage, the drainage gap of the cage may even be blocked, causing poor drainage, ultimately leading to excessive water content in the medium entering the downstream process, ultimately causing the drying process to fail and the water content of the product to exceed the standard.

[0021] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0022] The utility model provides a dehydration system for an extrusion dehydrator, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a shell 1, a dehydration component is connected to the shell 1, a water collecting trough 2 is opened on the inner bottom surface of the shell 1 along its length direction, the water collecting trough 2 is arranged below the dehydration component, and the water collecting trough 2 is arranged along the length direction of the dehydration component. An extrusion pushing component is sleeved in the dehydration component, and a motor 3 is connected to the end of the extrusion pushing component. The shell 1 is provided with a feed port to facilitate the entry of the elastomer material. The motor 3 is fixed by a support frame. The extrusion and pushing assembly in the dehydration assembly divides its inner cavity into three sections: low, medium and high pressure. The elastomer material enters the dehydration assembly from the side of the shell 1 near the motor 3. Driven by the extrusion and pushing assembly, the material enters the low-pressure end of the dehydration assembly into the high-pressure end. During the forward movement, the material is squeezed and dehydrated by the extrusion and pushing assembly. About 80% of the free water can be discharged after passing through the low and medium pressure ends. Due to the small extrusion pressure at the low and medium pressure ends, the elastomer will not be discharged with the free water. The discharged free water falls into the water collection tank 2 under the action of its own weight. A drainage hole is provided at the bottom of the water collection tank 2 to discharge the free water. The elastomer containing about 20% free water enters the high-pressure section. Due to the large extrusion pressure, the about 20% free water encapsulated in the elastomer is squeezed out of the high-pressure section. The distance of the high-pressure section is short, and there is no leakage of the elastomer. A discharge port is provided at the end of the shell 1 to facilitate the discharge of the dehydrated elastomer.

[0036] Example 4

[0037] The dehydration system of the extrusion dehydrator includes a shell 1, a dehydration component is connected to the shell 1, a water collecting trough 2 is provided on the inner bottom surface of the shell 1 along its length direction, the water collecting trough 2 is arranged below the dehydration component, and the water collecting trough 2 is arranged along the length direction of the dehydration component.

[0038] The extrusion pushing assembly includes a screw 4, one end of which is connected to the motor 3. The screw 4 is arranged in the dehydration assembly and is arranged along the length direction of the dehydration assembly.

[0039] The dehydration assembly includes a first cylinder 5, a second cylinder 6 and a third cylinder 7 connected in pairs from right to left.

The water collecting tank 2 is arranged at the bottom of the first cylinder 5, the second cylinder 6 and the third cylinder 7, and the water collecting tank 2 is arranged along the length direction of the first cylinder 5, the second cylinder 6 and the third cylinder 7.

[0040] The first cylinder 5, the second cylinder 6 and the third cylinder 7 are all Johnson type dehydration cylinders.

[0041] The first cylinder 5 , the second cylinder 6 and the third cylinder 7 are all composed of two half-piece connecting plates, and the two half-piece connecting plates are connected by bolts.

[0042] The pitch of the screw 4 in the first barrel 5, second barrel 6, and third barrel 7 decreases in sequence. The pitch of the screw 4 in the first barrel 5 is the largest, followed by the second barrel 6, and the smallest in the third barrel 7, dividing the first barrel 5, second barrel 6, and third barrel 7 into the low, medium, and high pressure sections of the dehydration assembly.

[0044] The third cylinder 7 has an inclined surface with an angle of 15°. The bottom of the third cylinder 7 is set as an inclined surface. When the elastomer material is discharged from the third cylinder 7, the free water that has not yet been discharged flows into the second cylinder 6 under the action of the inclined surface and then falls into the water collection tank 2.

[0045] The working process of the dehydration system of the utility model extrusion dehydrator is as follows:

[0046] During operation, the elastomer feed is first drained in the first barrel 5 of the low-pressure section of the dehydration component. It is then extruded and conveyed by the screw 4, and the dehydrated elastomer is sent to the second barrel 6 of the medium-pressure section for drainage. It is then extruded and conveyed by the screw 4, and the dehydrated elastomer is sent to the third barrel 7 of the high-pressure section for drainage. The elastomer conveying process is a process in which the pitch of the screw 4 decreases from large to small, and the extrusion and shearing of the elastomer increase from weak to strong. After entering the device, the water-containing elastomer passes through the first barrel 5 and the second barrel 6 to discharge about 80% of the free water. Due to the low extrusion pressure, the elastomer will not be discharged along with the free water. The elastomer containing about 20% free water enters the third barrel 7 for drainage. Due to the high extrusion pressure, the free water contained in the elastomer is squeezed out. The remaining free water will flow back to the first barrel 5 and the second barrel 6 for discharge.

[0047] This new dehydration system utilizes the free water's own weight flowability and the pressure difference between different areas formed by screw extrusion to guide the free water into the low-medium and low-pressure areas for discharge, thereby preventing the medium from leaking out, improving the dehydration effect, reducing product loss, and increasing the production efficiency of the product in the extrusion dehydration process. It also improves equipment operating efficiency, reduces equipment cleaning and maintenance, and material waste, and increases product qualification rate. It also extends equipment service life, reduces maintenance costs, and improves equipment economic benefits.
