DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] With reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described, obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the multi-tube inner sleeve rotary heat exchanger comprises a circular rotary heat exchanger body 10, a plurality of circular material channels 11 are arranged in the rotary heat exchanger body 10, the plurality of material channels 11 are arranged along the axial direction of the rotary heat exchanger body 10, and the plurality of material channels 11 are respectively connected between the inlet end and the outlet end of the rotary heat exchanger body 10, that is, the material at the inlet end can enter the plurality of material channels 11 and be discharged from the outlet end, and a heating channel 12 is arranged outside each material channel 11. By adopting the plurality of material channels 11 and the heating channel 12 arranged outside each material channel 11, the material forms a plurality of channels in the rotary heat exchanger body 10 and is conveyed from the inlet end to the outlet end, and heat transfer is formed in each material channel 11 through the heating channel 12, so that the material in the material channel 11 is heated. Through the structural arrangement of the plurality of material channels 11, the problem of low uniformity of material heating in a single material channel 11 is avoided, the heat exchange area of the heating channel 12 and the material in the material channel 11 is relatively increased, and the heat transfer capacity is also improved, so that the temperature of the material in each material channel 11 is more uniform. Compared with the traditional kiln of the same diameter, the heat exchange area is increased, the diameter of the material channel 11 is reduced, the temperature of the material in the material channel 11 is more uniform, the thickness of the material layer is also reduced, the uniformity of the material temperature is better for the material with poor heat transfer rate, especially for the material which requires low temperature deviation during heating. The structure highlights its superiority. Since the heat transfer rate is relatively improved, the production capacity disadvantage can be compensated by increasing the rotation speed of the rotary heat exchanger body 10 and the installation inclination of the equipment.

[0024] In some embodiments, the rotary heat exchanger body 10 is provided with an air inlet cover 13 and an air outlet cover 14 which are in communication with the heating channel 12. The air inlet cover 13 and the air outlet cover 14 are fixedly arranged outside the rotary heat exchanger body 10, that is, the rotary heat exchanger body 10 rotates, and the air inlet cover 13 and the air outlet cover 14 do not rotate. The rotary heat exchanger body 10 and the air inlet cover 13 and the air outlet cover 14 are respectively sealed by a rotary sealing structure, which is a commonly used technology and will not be described in detail. In this way, the high-temperature flue gas originally used can be used as a heating medium in the heating channel 12, and heat conduction heating is performed on the material in each material channel 11.

[0025] In some embodiments, an auxiliary electric heater is provided in the heating channel 12. The auxiliary electric heater can be used in conjunction with the aforementioned high-temperature flue gas or used independently to heat the area within the heating channel 12. The auxiliary electric heater can be a heating wire or an electrically heated silicon carbide rod. An electric slip ring is added to the heat exchanger body 10 to transfer electrical energy to the auxiliary electric heater, thereby providing more heating methods for the heat exchanger. The electric slip ring involved here mainly provides stable power transfer to the auxiliary electric heater when the heat exchanger body 10 rotates; this is prior art and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0026] In some embodiments, the heating channels 12 are arranged in a ring around the outside of the material channel 11 along the length of the material channel 11, that is, the heating channels 12 are evenly distributed around the outside of the material channel 11, and the high temperature in the heating channels 12 can be transferred to the material channel 11 more evenly, so that the material in the material channel 11 is heated evenly.

[0027] In some embodiments, the feed end of the recirculating heat exchanger body 10 is provided with a feeding chamber 15, and the discharge end is provided with a discharge chamber 16. The feeding chamber 15 is used to receive the material conveyed by the feeding mechanism, and the discharge chamber 16 is used to receive the heated material and discharge it from the recirculating heat exchanger. A distributor 17 is provided at the end of the material channel 11 in the feeding chamber 15, and the distributor 17 guides the material in the feeding chamber 15 into the corresponding material channel 11. The distributor 17 can be a receiving groove inclinedly arranged at the end of the material channel 11. When the recirculating heat exchanger body 10 rotates, the distributor 17 can guide the material in the feeding chamber 15 into the material channel 11.

[0028] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 The illustrated recirculating heat exchanger structure comprises two segmented heat exchanger bodies 10, the number of which can be adjusted according to the length of the recirculating heat exchanger body 10. An intermediate connecting section 18 is provided between the segmented heat exchanger bodies, and the intermediate connecting end is fixedly connected to the two segmented heat exchanger bodies via flanges. The intermediate connecting section 18 includes an intermediate connecting shell 19 fixedly connected to the segmented heat exchanger bodies. A connecting channel 20 is provided within the intermediate connecting shell 19, communicating with the material channels 11 on both sides of the intermediate connecting end, and a gas connecting pipe communicating with the heating channels 12 between the segmented heat exchanger bodies, allowing high-temperature flue gas to circulate within the heating channels 12 on both sides of the intermediate connecting section 18. The intermediate connecting section 18 is designed to meet the length requirements of the recirculating heat exchanger body 10 and the material heating residence time requirements as much as possible, while also avoiding transportation difficulties caused by a long recirculating heat exchanger body 10, and solving the corresponding problems associated with a long recirculating heat exchanger body 10.

[0029] In some embodiments, in order to eliminate the problem of thermal expansion of the rotary heat exchanger body 10, a corrugated expansion structure 21 is arranged in the communication channel 20, i.e. a corrugated expansion surface is arranged on the inner wall of the communication channel 20 to compensate for the thermal expansion.

[0030] In some embodiments, the gas communication pipeline includes a first communication pipe 22, a second communication pipe 23, and a wave pipe 24, the first communication pipe 22 and the second communication pipe 23 are respectively connected to the heating channels 12 in the segmented heat exchanger body to form a communication, and the wave pipe 24 is connected between the first communication pipe 22 and the second communication pipe 23. The number and inner diameter of the gas communication pipeline are set according to the needs, and the main purpose is to form a communication flow in the high-temperature heating channels 12, and the wave pipe can compensate for the problem of thermal expansion.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that: the above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application, although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments can still be modified, or some technical features can be replaced.
