Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of compound fertilizer technology, and specifically relates to a cooling device for compound fertilizer. Background Technology

[0002] High-tower compound fertilizer adopts melt urea carrier tower granulation technology, which uses molten urea and raw materials such as phosphorus and potassium, which are fully mixed and sprayed down from the top of the tower, and then naturally cooled and granulated.

[0003] For example, patent application number CN201720909790.4 discloses a high-tower compound fertilizer production system. The system is arranged in three floors, including a granulation device, a return conveyor belt, and a bucket elevator running sequentially from bottom to top through the first, second, and third floors; a drying device, a cooling device, a first-floor drum screen, and a crushing device on the first floor; a second-floor drum screen and a coating device on the second floor; and a third-floor drum screen on the third floor. The discharge port at the bottom of the granulation device, the drying device, the first-floor drum screen, and the cooling device are connected via... The conveyor belts are connected in sequence; the outlet of the cooling device is connected to the inlet of the third-floor drum screen via a bucket elevator; the outlet of the third-floor drum screen, the second-floor drum screen, and the coating device are connected in sequence via conveyor belts, and their coarse material outlet is connected to the inlet of the crushing device via a conveyor belt; the outlet of the crushing device, the fine material outlet of the first-floor drum screen, and the fine material outlet of the second-floor drum screen are all connected to the return outlet of the granulation device via a return belt; the screening capacity of the third-floor drum screen is greater than that of the first-floor drum screen.

[0004] Cooling devices are used in the preparation of high-tower compound fertilizers. Existing technology uses powder flow heat exchangers to cool the compound fertilizer. For example, patent application number CN201720756312.4 discloses a production system for preventing compound fertilizer agglomeration. This system includes a powder flow heat exchanger connected to a coating machine, which is connected to a bulk material silo, which is connected to a packaging machine. This utility model uses a powder flow cooling system instead of a drum cooler. For example, patent application number CN201920888157.0 discloses a production system for preventing compound fertilizer from caking, including a powder flow heat exchanger; a coating machine connected to the powder flow heat exchanger via pipeline; a bulk material silo connected to the coating machine via belt conveyor; and a packaging machine connected to the bulk material silo via pipeline; wherein a drum screen is provided between the powder flow heat exchanger and the coating machine; the powder flow heat exchanger includes a feed hopper, and an agitator that moves vertically within the feed hopper; and a discharge device fixedly connected to the bottom of the feed hopper.

[0005] The applicant discovered that compound fertilizer occasionally caking during actual production. After analysis, the applicant identified the following possible reasons: 1. The powder flow heat exchanger is sometimes unable to reduce the product temperature below 40℃ (e.g., in summer or when the heat exchanger is not properly adjusted for operation). 2. The powder flow heat exchanger consumes a large amount of cold air during cooling; if the cold air has a high moisture content, it will result in a high moisture content in the product, also causing caking. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a cooling device for compound fertilizer. A cooling drum is installed before the screening structure. Normally, the compound fertilizer does not pass through the cooling drum for cooling. However, if the cooling effect of the powder flow heat exchanger is insufficient, the compound fertilizer is first cooled by the cooling drum, and then by the powder flow heat exchanger. The air intake for both the powder flow heat exchanger and the cooling drum is dehumidified by a dehumidifier to ensure that the moisture content of the compound fertilizer does not exceed the standard. This reduces the possibility of compound fertilizer caking. The technical solution is as follows:

[0007] This utility model embodiment provides a cooling device for compound fertilizer, including a dust treatment structure, a screening structure 7, and a powder flow heat exchanger 9. The outlet of the screening structure 7 is connected to the inlet of the powder flow heat exchanger 9. The exhaust outlets of both the screening structure 7 and the powder flow heat exchanger 9 are connected to the dust treatment structure via pipelines. The cooling water outlet and cooling water inlet of the powder flow heat exchanger 9 are connected to a cooling water circulation system via pipelines. The cooling device also includes a first bucket elevator 1, a three-way distribution valve 2, a cooling drum 3, a first dehumidifier 5, a bypass conveyor belt 4, a second dehumidifier 11, and a dehumidifying blower 10. The inlet of the first bucket elevator 1 is connected to the compound fertilizer production device. The outlet of the first dehumidifier 11 is connected to the inlet of the three-way distribution valve 2; the three-way distribution valve 2 outputs two paths, one path to the inlet of the cooling drum 3 and the other path to the inlet of the bypass conveyor belt 4; the air inlet of the cooling drum 3 is connected to the first dehumidifier 5 through a pipeline, its exhaust outlet is connected to the dust treatment structure through a pipeline, and its outlet is connected to the inlet of the screening structure 7; the outlet of the bypass conveyor belt 4 is connected to the inlet of the screening structure 7; the cooling water outlet and cooling water inlet of the first dehumidifier 5 and the second dehumidifier 11 are connected to the cooling water circulation system through pipelines; the air inlets of the dehumidifying blower 10, the second dehumidifier 11 and the powder flow heat exchanger 9 are connected in sequence through pipelines.

[0008] Furthermore, the cooling device in this embodiment of the present invention also includes a second bucket elevator 6; the cooling drum 3 is located directly above the bypass conveyor belt 4, and is arranged obliquely downward along the conveying direction of the bypass conveyor belt 4, so that its discharge can fall directly onto the bypass conveyor belt 4; the feed inlet of the second bucket elevator 6 is connected to the discharge end of the bypass conveyor belt 4, and its discharge outlet is connected to the feed inlet of the screening structure 7.

[0009] The dust treatment structure in this embodiment includes a cyclone separator 12, a bag filter 13, and a fan 14 connected in sequence by pipelines. The air inlet of the cyclone separator 12 is connected to the exhaust outlet of the cooling drum 3, the screening structure 7, and the powder flow heat exchanger 9 by pipelines. The lower part of the powder flow heat exchanger 9 is provided with a pneumatic vibrator. The purge air inlet of the bag filter 13 and the pneumatic vibrator are both connected to the compressed air supply system by pipelines.

[0010] Furthermore, the cooling device in this embodiment of the present invention also includes a third bucket elevator 8; the feed inlet of the third bucket elevator 8 is connected to the discharge outlet of the screening structure 7, and its discharge outlet is connected to the feed inlet at the top of the powder flow heat exchanger 9.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the technical solution provided by this utility model embodiment are as follows: This utility model embodiment provides a cooling device for compound fertilizer. A cooling drum is set before the screening structure (the rotation of the cooling drum can easily cause product crushing, so it is set before screening). Under normal circumstances, the compound fertilizer does not pass through the cooling drum for cooling. If the cooling effect of the powder flow heat exchanger (which has a good cooling effect, and under normal circumstances, only the powder flow heat exchanger is needed for cooling) is not up to standard, the compound fertilizer is first cooled by the cooling drum and then by the powder flow heat exchanger to ensure the cooling effect and keep the temperature of the compound fertilizer below 40℃ (generally below 35℃). The air intake of both the powder flow heat exchanger and the cooling drum is dehumidified by a dehumidifier to ensure that the moisture content of the compound fertilizer does not exceed the standard. The above can reduce the possibility of compound fertilizer caking. The powder flow heat exchanger, the first dehumidifier and the second dehumidifier share a cooling water circulation system, which can reduce the investment in equipment. In addition, the two modes of this patent (with or without the cooling drum) are easy to switch. Attached Figure Description
