Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fluidized conveying technology for powder materials, specifically a fluidized control device for powder materials. Background Technology
[0002] In the electrolytic aluminum industry, alumina powder is the main raw material. Since alumina powder is a powdery material, it can be fluidized using gas. Therefore, chute conveying is commonly used in the alumina powder transportation process. Before being transported to multiple reactors via the chute, the alumina powder in the chute needs to be evenly distributed into multiple portions by a control device.
[0003] Existing electrolytic aluminum conveying processes often employ flow-limiting or throttling structures to manually distribute materials. This method is characterized by airflow and material sharing a common channel, which easily leads to mutual interference. Furthermore, manually adjusting the material input of multiple reactors results in poor timeliness and a large workload, leading to poor stability of the electrolytic aluminum purification process. This affects the efficiency of fluoride recovery by the purification dust collector and poses a high risk of exceeding emission standards. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0019] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model discloses a powder material fluidization control device, comprising a material fluidization chamber 1, a fluidizing gas source chamber 2, a boiling bed 3, and a flow control chamber 4. The bottom surface of the material fluidization chamber 1 is open, and the cross-sectional shape of the material fluidization chamber 1 is rectangular. The top surface of the fluidizing gas source chamber 2 is open and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the material fluidization chamber 1. The top opening of the fluidizing gas source chamber 2 communicates with the bottom opening of the material fluidization chamber 1. The boiling bed 3 is fixedly connected between the top opening of the fluidizing gas source chamber 2 and the bottom opening of the material fluidization chamber 1. The material of the boiling bed 3 is canvas. A gas source inlet pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the fluidizing gas source chamber 2 and communicates with the fluidizing gas source chamber 2. The flow control chamber 4 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the material fluidization chamber 1 and is located along the length of the gas source inlet pipe 5 within the material fluidization chamber 1. In the middle, the flow control chamber 4 is a rectangular chamber. A material output pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the flow control chamber 4, and the material output pipe 6 communicates with the flow control chamber 4. The side wall of the material fluidization chamber 1 covered by the flow control chamber 4 is provided with a material through hole 7 and an airflow evacuation hole 8. The material through hole 7 is located at the lower part of the side wall of the material fluidization chamber 1 along the height direction of the material fluidization chamber 1, and the airflow evacuation hole 8 is located at the upper part of the side wall of the material fluidization chamber 1 along the height direction of the material fluidization chamber 1. A drive shaft 11 is rotatably connected inside the flow control chamber 4, and a material baffle 9 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 11. The material baffle 9 blocks the material through hole 7. The material through hole 7 is a semi-circular through hole, and the lower part of the material baffle 9 is a semi-circular baffle. The semi-circular area of the lower part of the material baffle 9 is larger than the semi-circular area of the material through hole 7. The airflow evacuation hole 8 is a rectangular through hole.
[0020] In this invention, powdered materials are conveyed through a material fluidization chamber 1. Due to the nature of powdered material conveying, the lower part of the material fluidization chamber 1 contains powdered materials, while the upper part contains gas. Therefore, the material through-hole 7 is located below the airflow dispersion hole 8. The powdered materials enter the flow control chamber 4 through the material through-hole 7 and then pass through the material output pipe 6 into the reactor. The material baffle 9 acts as a shield for the material through-hole 7. By rotating the drive shaft 11, the material baffle 9 is rotated, thereby changing the shielding area of the material baffle 9 on the material through-hole 7, thus controlling the flow rate of the powdered materials. The semi-circular through-hole shape of the material through-hole 7 and the material flow rate are controlled accordingly. The semi-circular shape of the baffle 9 is to provide space for the rotation of the material baffle 9, ensuring that the material baffle 9 can completely block or fully open the material through hole 7 when rotating inside the flow control chamber 4. If the shape of the material through hole 7 or the material baffle 9 is set to be circular, the internal size of the flow control chamber 4 needs to be increased to meet the rotation requirements of the material baffle 9 in order to fully block or fully open the material through hole 7. The airflow evacuation hole 8 is used as a pressure relief port to evacuate excess airflow. This utility model eliminates the flow interference caused by gas-solid mixing by using the airflow evacuation hole 8 and the material through hole 7 together, effectively preventing the powder material from clogging.
[0021] A servo motor 10 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the flow control chamber 4, which is parallel to the material fluidization chamber 1. The output shaft of the servo motor 10 passes through the outer wall of the flow control chamber 4 and extends into the interior of the flow control chamber 4. One end of the output shaft of the servo motor 10, which is inserted into the interior of the flow control chamber 4, is fixedly connected to a drive shaft 11 via a coupling. A shaft hole 12 is provided on the side wall of the material fluidization chamber 1 covered by the flow control chamber 4. A bearing seat 13 is fixedly connected in the shaft hole 12. The shaft hole 12 is located between the material through hole 7 and the airflow evacuation hole 8. The bearing seat 13 extends into the interior of the material fluidization chamber 1. The bearing seat 13 is provided with a bearing hole 1301, which is a blind hole. One end of the drive shaft 11, which is away from the output shaft of the servo motor 10, is inserted into the bearing hole 1301. A bearing is connected between the bearing hole 1301 and the drive shaft 11. A bearing cover 14 is connected to the bearing hole 1301 and is pressed onto the bearing.
[0022] To achieve automatic control of this utility model, a servo motor 10 is provided. The servo motor 10 drives the material baffle 9 to rotate. It can also be used in conjunction with other sensors through a remote control program to remotely control the flow rate of powder materials and control the opening of the material baffle 9.
[0023] Furthermore, this invention improves the structural strength and rotational stability of the drive shaft 11 through the arrangement of the bearing housing 13, the bearing, and bearing accessories, ensuring smooth operation of the invention. The use of bearings and bearing accessories is existing technology frequently used by those skilled in the art; therefore, structural features such as steps on the shaft or shaft end retaining rings that should be provided for bearing use will not be described in detail here.
[0024] In practical use, multiple of these inventions can be connected in series according to the actual requirements of the site, so as to cooperate with multiple reactors. When multiple of these inventions are connected in series, it is only necessary to connect the material fluidization chambers 1 of multiple inventions in series one after the other.
[0025] This invention effectively avoids interference caused by the shared channel between materials and airflow, solves the process problem of powder materials being difficult to distribute evenly into multiple portions, avoids the problems of poor timeliness and high labor intensity caused by manually adjusting the flow rate of multiple portions of materials, effectively prevents powder material blockage, facilitates automated control of equipment, improves work efficiency, is easy to install and maintain, has a low failure rate, and is safe and reliable to use.
