Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chemical industry, especially relates to a spherical particle preparation device used in industry. BACKGROUND

[0002] Spherical particles are a kind of particles with regular geometric shape, which have smooth surface, small gap, good fluidity, uniform distribution, compact stacking, high packing coefficient and are widely used in pharmaceutical field, chemical field, environmental protection field and food field etc. The spherical particles involved in the patent refer to the spherical particles applied in chemical field, such as drying agent, catalyst particles etc. The preparation methods of spherical particles in industry mainly include spray drying, rotary molding, oil molding, spouted molding and melt molding etc.

[0003] The rotary molding method is adopted, for example, Chinese patent application CN115784816A relates to the field of catalyst preparation technology, and particularly relates to a rotary granulation spherical catalyst, which comprises boron powder, polyvinylidene fluoride, solvent, small particle agglomerated boron, microcrystalline cellulose, PBT, GAP, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, toluene diisocyanate and toluene. The agglomerated boron particles obtained have good particle size dispersion, good morphology and high bulk density. The prepared agglomerated boron is a spherical particle. The preparation process of the agglomerated boron catalyst by the rotary granulation method mainly includes four steps, namely premixing, extrusion, rounding and drying (solidification). The extrusion and rounding processes are the most important two links in the entire granulation process. The single screw extruder is used for extruding the boron-containing premixed material in the extrusion process. After the material is extruded into a dense strip through the hole plate, the rounding process is carried out. Whether the strip can be rounded depends on the stress size of the strip and the viscoelasticity of the binder. On the one hand, it requires that the stress size of the strip in the rounding process should be appropriate. If the stress is too large, the small cylindrical body will be deformed too much and scattered into small particles, so that the agglomerated boron particles cannot be obtained. If the stress is too small, the small cylindrical body cannot produce sufficient deformation. On the other hand, the binder also requires a certain brittleness. Otherwise, the small cylindrical body is not easy to break and round.

[0004] The above-mentioned existing spherical particle preparation device is used for granulation, and the appearance of the prepared spherical particles has diversity and is not uniform.

[0033] The utility model provides a kind of industrial spherical particle preparation device, for the spherical particle preparation (such as desiccant particle, catalyst particle etc.) in chemical industry, including granulating unit and throwing round unit.In granulating process, now the material of uniform mixture is put into granulating unit, and the particle of moderate length is prepared according to the spherical particle particle size requirement, after transmission to the throwing round unit of multiple levels, after multiple fracture and throwing round, form spherical particle.Granulating unit can use any kind of granulating equipment, for example, swing granulator, high-speed shearing granulator, various mode extruder etc.

[0034] As Figures 1-3 Shown, throwing round unit can include 2~5 levels of throwing round machine, preferably 3 levels, each level can realize different function and purpose.When using three levels, throwing round unit includes one level throwing round machine 1, two level throwing round machine 2 and three level throwing round machine 3.One level throwing round machine 1 is powered by bearing 4 transmission and has gully-shaped first rotary disc 11 disc surface, and first rotary disc disc surface has the first disc surface chamfer of boss 6 (chamfer is represented by alpha, refer to Figure 5 ) And first mesa height (mesa height is represented by H, refer to Figure 5 ), for breaking long particle after granulating into short particle.Two level throwing round machine 2 is powered by bearing transmission and has gully-shaped second rotary disc 21 disc surface, and second rotary disc disc surface has the second disc surface chamfer of boss and second mesa height, for regularizing short particle.Three level throwing round machine 3 is powered by bearing transmission and has gully-shaped third rotary disc 31 disc surface, and third rotary disc disc surface has the third disc surface chamfer of boss and third mesa height, for making spherical and polishing short particle after regularizing.

[0035] The utility model discloses a kind of industrial spherical particle preparation device, for the spherical particle preparation (such as desiccant particle, catalyst particle etc.) in chemical industry, including granulating unit and throwing round unit.In granulating process, now the material of uniform mixture is put into granulating unit, and the particle of moderate length is prepared according to the spherical particle particle size requirement, after transmission to the throwing round unit of multiple levels, after multiple fracture and throwing round, form spherical particle.Granulating unit can use any kind of granulating equipment, for example, swing granulator, high-speed shearing granulator, various mode extruder etc.

[0036] Further as Figures 1-3As shown, the first-level rounding machine 1, the second-level rounding machine 2 and the third-level rounding machine 3 are in a communication state and are arranged in a staggered manner from high to low. Specifically, the rounding unit of the utility model is a combined equipment in which three rounding machines are arranged in a staggered manner from high to low. The staggered arrangement from high to low is beneficial to the rational use of space and the realization of continuous production. The rounding unit arranged in three levels is three independent rounding machines connected in sequence, and the size of each rounding machine can be adjusted according to the processing amount.

[0037] Further as shown in the figure, Figures 1-5 The first-level rounding machine 1 mainly functions to break long particles into short particles. The first-level rounding machine adopts bearing transmission, and the periphery is a smooth cylindrical surface. The disc surface of the first rotating disc 11 is composed of matrix-arranged bosses 6, and the disc surface as a whole is in a gully shape. Since the disc surface of the first rotating disc 11 is used to cut long particles, the chamfer angle α of the disc surface is less than 120°, and the table height h is 5-6 mm. After various raw materials for forming balls are uniformly mixed on a mixing device, the materials are conveyed to the granulating unit by a conveying belt. Different screens are selected according to the size of the prepared spherical particles, and the mixed materials are prepared into particles of different lengths after passing through the screens. The particles are conveyed to the first-level rounding machine 1 and are broken by the disc surface of the first rotating disc 11. In order to prevent the particles from adhering to each other, the first-level rounding machine can adjust the air volume of the first fan (not shown in the figure) according to the amount of the added materials. The rotation frequency of the first rotating disc is preferably 30-50 HZ, the rotation speed is 400-600 r / min, and the running time is 1-5 min. After being broken into particles with lengths close to the diameters, the materials enter the second-level rounding machine through the first conveying channel 21.

[0038] Further as shown in the figure, Figures 1-5 The second-level rounding machine 2 mainly functions to regularize short particles. The second-level rounding machine also adopts bearing transmission, and the periphery is also a smooth cylindrical surface. The disc surface of the second rotating disc 21 is also composed of matrix-arranged bosses 6, and the disc surface as a whole is in a gully shape. Since the disc surface of the second rotating disc 21 is used to regularize short particles, the chamfer angle α of the disc surface is less than 130°, and the table height h is 3-4 mm. In order to prevent the particles from adhering to each other, the second-level rounding machine 2 can adjust the air volume of the second fan (not shown in the figure) according to the amount of the added materials. The rotation frequency of the second rotating disc is preferably 20-35 HZ, the rotation speed is 400-600 r / min, and the running time is 3-15 min. The material particles entering the second-level rounding machine 2 have been formed into spherical shapes after preliminary rounding.

[0039] Further as shown in the figure, Figures 1-5As shown, the main function of the third-stage spheroidizing machine 3 is to spheroidize and polish the particles. The third-stage spheroidizing machine also adopts bearing transmission, and the periphery is also a smooth cylindrical surface. The disc surface of the third disc 31 is also composed of matrix-arranged bosses 6, and the disc surface as a whole is in a gully shape. Since the disc surface of the third disc 31 is used for spheroidization and polishing, the chamfer angle a of the disc surface is less than 150°, and the height h of the table surface is 1-2 mm. In order to prevent the particle skin from being too dry to affect shaping, the third-stage spheroidizing machine 3 can adjust the air volume of the third fan (not shown in the figure) according to the amount of material added. The rotation frequency of the third disc is preferably 10-20HZ, the rotation speed is 200-400r / min, and the running time is 3-20min.

[0040] Further as Figures 1-3 As shown, the first-stage spheroidizing machine 1, the second-stage spheroidizing machine 2 and the third-stage spheroidizing machine 3 are all provided with a flow guide baffle 5, which can be symmetrically arranged on the disc surface and located at the inner edge of the spheroidizing machine, for providing uniformly distributed material for the disc surface of each stage of the spheroidizing machine. During the rotation of the disc, due to the centrifugal effect, the material is thrown to the edge of the disc, and through the arrangement of the flow guide baffle 5, the material can be reflected and distributed at the center of the disc. Finally, the material fully utilizes the disc surface on the spheroidizing machine to achieve the purpose of breaking, regularizing and spheroidizing.

[0041] It should be noted that the three-stage arrangement of the first-stage spheroidizing machine 1, the second-stage spheroidizing machine 2 and the third-stage spheroidizing machine 3 is only an optimal arrangement, and the three stages can also be combined into two stages, or the three stages can be split into more than three stages. As long as the purpose of breaking, regularizing and spheroidizing can be achieved, it is acceptable.

[0042] In the particle preparation process, first, mix the raw materials required for preparing various spherical particles uniformly; then, use the spherical particle preparation equipment of the utility model to form the spherical particles; finally, dry and calcine the obtained formed spherical particles to obtain spherical particle samples. During the mixing process, commonly used mixing equipment can meet the requirements, and the process conditions are slightly different. The mixed material is conveyed to the spherical particle preparation device of the utility model through a conveying device for granulation and spheroidization.

[0043] The spherical particle preparation device has the advantages that under the premise that the used material has certain viscosity and brittleness, different disc surfaces can be designed by using the multi-stage tumbling machine, from the cutting of long particles, the regularizing of short particles to the shaping of particles, the spherical degree of the spherical particles is high, and the product yield is high. The test proves that the particle size range of the spherical particles is 0.1-2.0 mm, the yield of the spherical particles with a particle size distribution of ±0.1 mm can reach more than 90%, the spherical degree of the spherical particles can reach more than 80%, the wear index is less than 0.5%, various use requirements of the spherical particles can be met; the baffle is designed in the multi-stage tumbling machine, the material can be effectively reduced due to the friction on the edge of the rotating disc and the wall under the action of centrifugal force, each disc surface of the rotating disc can be fully utilized to realize the purposes of breaking, regularizing and tumbling; the multi-stage tumbling machine is adjusted by adjusting the process parameters, especially the reasonable matching of the rotating speed of the rotating disc and the air volume, the best molding effect can be achieved, the spherical degree is higher, the wear index is lower, and the product yield is higher; the high and low staggered arrangement of the multi-stage tumbling machine is beneficial to the reasonable use of space and realizes the continuous production.

[0044] The foregoing description of specific exemplary embodiments of the present application is intended to be illustrative only and is not intended to limit the present application to the precise forms described. Many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teachings without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present application.
