Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Example

[0025] Reference Figures 1-5This technical solution provides a dehumidification and drying device for PT-LA cabinets, comprising a PT-LA cabinet assembly 1, of which three PT-LA cabinet assemblies are provided. A forced-circulation air drying chamber 2 is fixedly installed on the side of each PT-LA cabinet assembly 1. The forced-circulation air drying chamber 2 contains a vortex fan, adsorption cylinder B, and adsorption cylinder A. The entire drying process is: external air – vortex fan – adsorption cylinder B – adsorption cylinder A – exhaust of humid air. During each working cycle, cylinders A and B are swapped every 6-8 hours. When the humidity of all three PT-LA cabinet assemblies 1 is less than the set value of 0%, the device completes one operating cycle and enters standby mode until the humidity of any one phase in the PT-LA cabinet assembly 1 reaches 60%. The system re-enters the circulating drying mode until the three-phase humidity of the PT-LA cabinet assembly 1 is all less than 30%. This cycle continues. A water-gas delivery pipe 3 is installed on the top of the forced-circulation air drying chamber 2. A 90-degree elbow 4 is installed at the end of the water-gas delivery pipe 3, connecting it to the forced-circulation air drying chamber 2 via the 90-degree elbow 4. A tee fitting 5 is fitted onto the surface of the water-gas delivery pipe 3, connecting it to the PT-LA cabinet assembly 1 via the tee fitting 5. A manual ball valve 6 is installed inside the water-gas delivery pipe 3. A pipe clamp 9 is installed on the top of the forced-circulation air drying chamber 2, with an external connector 8 fitted inside the pipe clamp 9. A union 7 is installed on the top of the external connector 8, connecting the water-gas delivery pipe 3 to the forced-circulation air drying chamber 1 via the union 7. The circulating air drying chamber 2 is connected. A sealing gasket 11 is installed at the connection between the PT-LA cabinet assembly 1 and the water-gas supply pipe 3. A cabinet connector 10 is installed on the top of the sealing gasket 11. The water-gas supply pipe 3 is connected through the cabinet connector 10. A bolt 12 is installed inside the cabinet connector 10. A nut 13 is installed on the threaded surface of the bolt 12. A washer 14 is installed between the nut 13 and the cabinet connector 10. A spring washer 15 is installed on the top of the washer 14. A metal hose 16 is installed between the three PT-LA cabinet assemblies 1. A 90-degree bend 17 of the metal hose 16 is sleeved on the surface of the metal hose 16. A metal hose connector 18 is installed at the end of the 90-degree bend 17. An expansion bolt is installed between the forced circulating air drying chamber 2 and the ground. The forced-circulation air drying chamber 2, consisting of a first adsorption tank 20 and a second adsorption tank 21, is connected to the outside via a water-gas supply pipe 3. A third electric ball valve 26 is installed inside the water-gas supply pipe 3. A fan 28 is also installed inside the forced-circulation air drying chamber 2, connected to the outside via the water-gas supply pipe 3. A first electric ball valve 22 and a second electric ball valve 23 are installed on the surface of the water-gas supply pipe 3. A vent valve 24 is installed between the first adsorption tank 20 and the second adsorption tank 21. The water-gas supply pipe 3 is installed inside the vent valve 24, which is connected to a regeneration ball valve 25 via the water-gas supply pipe 3. A fourth electric ball valve 27 is installed at the bottom of the regeneration ball valve 25.Vent valve 24 directs airflow into the second adsorption tank 21. At this time, the second adsorption tank 21 is ventilated, and the first adsorption tank 20 is heated and regenerated. Regeneration ball valve 25 directs airflow into the first adsorption tank 20, and the regenerated moisture from the first adsorption tank 20 is discharged outside the cabinet. The heater in the first adsorption tank 20 is red when it is working, and white when it is in standby mode. The gas flow in the pipeline at this time is that the air from the PT-LA cabinet assembly 1 and the fresh air supply, after passing through fan 28, flow from vent valve 24 to the second adsorption tank 21. After drying, part of the dried air is sent to the PT-LA cabinet assembly 1, and the remaining dried air is heated and regenerated in the first adsorption tank 20 before being discharged outside the cabinet through regeneration ball valve 25. The airflow of regeneration ball valve 25 is regulated by the third electric ball valve 26 and the fourth electric ball valve 27. During operation, a slight positive pressure needs to be maintained in the closed PT-LA cabinet assembly 1, which can be achieved through the first electric ball valve 22. Assembly 1 adjusts the return air volume and the pressure of the PT-LA cabinet assembly 1. If the PT-LA cabinet assembly 1 is well-sealed, resulting in excessive return air volume and high pressure, open the first electric ball valve 22 as much as possible to allow the air from the PT-LA cabinet assembly 1 to participate in the circulation drying. At this time, the second electric ball valve 23 can be closed appropriately. If the second electric ball valve 23 is closed too much, it will reduce the drying effect of the PT-LA cabinet assembly 1. The screen records the running time of the fan 28 and the running time of the heater. One cycle, the fan 28 runs for 8-16 hours, and the second adsorption tank 21 heater runs for 240-480 minutes respectively. The timer is automatically reset at the end of the cycle and restarts for the next cycle. After power-on, the equipment is in a stopped state. If the PLC and the touch screen communicate normally, the screen will display that all data is normal after online operation mode. Otherwise, it will display various numerical values ​​after connection interruption, indicating that the communication between the PLC and the touch screen is disconnected.

[0026] Specifically, the working process or principle of this PT-LA cabinet dehumidification and drying device is as follows: First, the vent valve 24 guides the second adsorption tank 21 to vent. At this time, the second adsorption tank 21 is vented, and the first adsorption tank 20 is heated and regenerated. The regeneration ball valve 25 guides the first adsorption tank 20, and the regenerated moisture from the first adsorption tank 20 is discharged outside the cabinet. The red heater in the first adsorption tank 20 indicates that the heater is heating and working, while the white heater is in standby mode. At this time, the gas flow in the pipeline is that the air from the PT-LA cabinet assembly 1 and the fresh air supply pass through the fan 28 and flow from the vent valve 24 to the second adsorption tank 21. After drying, part of the dried air is sent to the PT-LA cabinet assembly 1, and another part of the dried air is heated and regenerated by the first adsorption tank 20 and discharged outside the cabinet through the regeneration ball valve 25. The airflow of the regeneration ball valve 25 is adjusted by the third electric ball valve 26 and the fourth electric ball valve 27. During operation, it is necessary to maintain a slight positive pressure in the closed PT-LA cabinet assembly 1, which can be achieved through the first electric ball valve 26. The electric ball valve 22 regulates the return air volume and pressure of the sealed PT-LA cabinet assembly 1. If the PT-LA cabinet assembly 1 is well sealed, resulting in excessive return air volume and pressure, the first electric ball valve 22 should be opened as much as possible to allow the air from the PT-LA cabinet assembly 1 to participate in the circulation drying. At this time, the second electric ball valve 23 can be closed appropriately. If the second electric ball valve 23 is closed too much, it will reduce the drying effect of the PT-LA cabinet assembly 1. The screen records the running time of the fan 28 and the running time of the heater. One cycle of the fan 28 runs for 8-16 hours, and the second adsorption tank 21 heater runs for 240-480 minutes in total. The timer is automatically reset at the end of the cycle and restarts for the next cycle. After power is applied, the equipment is in a stopped state. If the PLC and the touch screen communicate normally, the screen will display that all data is normal after the online operation mode is activated. Otherwise, it will display various values ​​after the connection is interrupted, indicating that the communication between the PLC and the touch screen is disconnected.
