[0002] Cooling is a crucial step in sulfuric acid processing. The main purpose of cooling is to lower the temperature of the sulfuric acid for subsequent storage, transportation, and use. Cooling also helps remove impurities from the sulfuric acid, improving its purity.

[0003] Currently, the cooling devices used in sulfuric acid processing generally employ a single cooling process to cool the sulfuric acid, supplemented by flow control mechanisms to optimize the cooling effect. Although the flow control structure can adjust the flow rate of sulfuric acid to achieve better cooling distribution, these structures themselves do not participate in the cooling process and only exist as auxiliary components for adjusting the flow. When sulfuric acid flows through these control structures, this part of the process is not effectively utilized for additional heat exchange, resulting in a waste of cooling potential and limiting the overall cooling efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a cooler for sulfuric acid processing, which can achieve cooling by utilizing an adjustable flow rate structure to perform additional heat exchange, thereby improving the overall cooling efficiency.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the described 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.

[0027] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 :

[0028] This utility model proposes a cooler for sulfuric acid processing, comprising: a cooler shell 1;

[0029] A sulfuric acid inlet box 2 is fixed to the top of the cooler housing 1. The cooler housing 1 supports the other parts of the cooler structure, and the sulfuric acid inlet box 2 holds the sulfuric acid that needs to be cooled. A conveying housing 3 is located on the top left side of the cooler housing 1. The conveying housing 3 supports the rotation of the conveying roller 4. A conveying roller 4 is rotatably mounted inside the conveying housing 3. When the conveying roller 4 rotates, it can convey sulfuric acid downwards by means of the long groove on its outer side. Moreover, the introduction of cold air into the cavity inside the conveying roller 4 can also play a preliminary cooling role for the sulfuric acid. A stepper motor 5 is mounted on the front side of the conveying housing 3 through a bracket. The rear end of the main shaft of the stepper motor 5 is fixedly connected to the front end of the rotating shaft of the conveying roller 4. The stepper motor 5 is used to drive the conveying roller 4 to rotate. A sulfuric acid outlet pipe 6 is located in the middle of the right side of the cooler housing 1. The cooler housing 1 is used to discharge the cooled sulfuric acid to the outside. It contains a cooling cavity 7, a first air-cooled cavity 8, and a second air-cooled cavity 11. The cooling cavity 7 guides the flow of sulfuric acid, which, in conjunction with the cold air in the first and second air-cooled cavities 8 and 11, provides secondary cooling. Both the first and second air-cooled cavities 8 and 11 have several guide plates 9 evenly spaced inside. When the cold air flows inside these cavities, it repeatedly flows through the staggered openings on the guide plates 9, ensuring uniform contact between the cold air and the outer wall of the cooling cavity 7, thus improving the cooling effect on the sulfuric acid within the cooling cavity 7. Both the first and second air-cooled cavities 8 and 11 also have an air inlet pipe 10 on their outer sides, which introduces cold air into the first and second air-cooled cavities 8 and 11.

[0030] In this embodiment of the disclosure, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the left side of the cooling cavity 7 is connected to the opening at the bottom of the conveying housing 3, and the right side of the cooling cavity 7 is connected to the sulfuric acid outlet pipe 6. Several baffles are also equidistantly arranged in the cooling cavity 7. The cooling cavity 7 is used to guide the sulfuric acid. The baffles inside it can make it flow evenly to the right, and the baffles can also exchange heat to improve the cooling effect.

[0031] In this embodiment of the disclosure, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the conveying housing 3 has a cylindrical cavity with openings at both the top and bottom. The outer wall of the conveying roller 4 is in close contact with the inner wall of the cylindrical cavity inside the conveying housing 3. Therefore, the conveying roller 4 can rotate stably in the cylindrical cavity inside the conveying housing 3. Moreover, the cooperation between the conveying roller 4 and the inner wall of the conveying housing 3 can also separate the cavities at the top and bottom of the conveying housing 3, so that the flow rate can be adjusted by adjusting the rotation speed of the conveying roller 4.

[0032] In this embodiment of the disclosure, such as Figures 2-4As shown, the No. 1 air-cooled cavity 8 and the No. 2 air-cooled cavity 11 are located at the top and bottom of the cooling cavity 7, respectively. The guide plates 9 are provided with openings that connect the front and rear side slots, and the openings on the guide plates 9 are staggered. When the cold air flows inside the No. 1 air-cooled cavity 8 and the No. 2 air-cooled cavity 11, it will flow repeatedly through the staggered openings on the guide plates 9, thereby ensuring that the cold air is in uniform contact with the outer wall of the cooling cavity 7, improving the cooling effect on the sulfuric acid in the cooling cavity 7. Moreover, the No. 1 air-cooled cavity 8 and the No. 2 air-cooled cavity 11 can also cool the top and bottom of the cooling cavity 7 more efficiently.

[0033] In this embodiment of the disclosure, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, two elongated grooves are symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the conveying roller 4, and the width of the elongated grooves is equal to the width of the openings at the top and bottom of the cylindrical cavity in the conveying housing 3. When one of the elongated grooves on the outer side of the conveying roller 4 rotates to the top, the sulfuric acid in the sulfuric acid inlet box 2 will flow into the elongated groove on the outer side of the conveying roller 4. As the conveying roller 4 continues to rotate, it will drive the sulfuric acid in the elongated groove to move downward. When the elongated groove rotates to the bottom, the sulfuric acid inside it will flow into the cooling cavity 7 through the opening at the bottom of the conveying housing 3.

[0034] In this embodiment of the disclosure, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the conveyor roller 4 has a cavity inside. The rotating shafts at both the front and rear ends of the conveyor roller 4 are connected to the cavity inside the conveyor roller 4. The rotating shaft at the rear end of the conveyor roller 4 is a round tube. The outer wall of the rotating shaft at the front end of the conveyor roller 4 has four through round holes. During the rotation of the conveyor roller 4, the cold air blown out by the external air cooler will enter the cavity inside the conveyor roller 4 through the round tube at the rear end of the conveyor roller 4 and flow forward. Because the outer wall of the conveyor roller 4 will absorb some of the heat from the sulfuric acid, the cold air in the cavity inside the conveyor roller 4 can absorb this heat. Finally, the air will be discharged outward through the round holes on the outer wall of the rotating shaft at the front end of the conveyor roller 4, thus completing the initial cooling.

[0035] Example 2, based on Example 1, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the air inlet pipe 10 on the first air-cooled cavity 8 is located on the front side, and an air outlet is located in the middle of its rear side. The air inlet pipe 10 on the second air-cooled cavity 11 is located on the rear side, and an air outlet is also located in the middle of its front side. Therefore, the cold air in the first air-cooled cavity 8 will flow from front to back and be discharged outward through the air outlet in the middle of its rear side. The cold air in the second air-cooled cavity 11 will flow from back to front and be discharged outward through the air outlet in the middle of its front side. This avoids the coldest air being concentrated on the front or back side, resulting in more uniform cooling.

[0036] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: During installation, the cooler housing 1 can be placed in the usage position, and the stepper motor 5 can be connected to the external controller and power supply. Simultaneously, the circular tube at the rear end of the conveying roller 4 and the two air inlet pipes 10 can be connected to the air outlet of the external cooling fan. When sulfuric acid needs to be cooled, the sulfuric acid to be cooled is first poured into the sulfuric acid inlet box 2. Then, the stepper motor 5 is controlled to start rotating, and the external cooling fan is turned on. When the stepper motor 5 rotates, it drives the conveying roller 4 to rotate synchronously in the cylindrical cavity inside the conveying housing 3. When one of the elongated grooves on the outer side of the conveying roller 4 rotates to the top, the sulfuric acid in the sulfuric acid inlet box 2 will flow into the elongated groove on the outer side of the conveying roller 4. As the conveying roller 4 continues to rotate, it will drive the sulfuric acid in the elongated groove to move downwards. When this elongated groove rotates to the bottom, the sulfuric acid inside will flow into the cooling cavity 7 through the opening at the bottom of the conveying housing 3. Furthermore, during the conveying process... During the rotation of roller 4, the cold air blown by the external air cooler enters the cavity inside the conveyor roller 4 through the round tube at the rear end of the conveyor roller 4 and flows forward. Because the outer wall of the conveyor roller 4 absorbs some of the heat from the sulfuric acid, the cold air in the cavity inside the conveyor roller 4 can absorb this heat. Finally, the air is discharged outward through the round hole on the outer wall of the front shaft of the conveyor roller 4, thus completing the initial cooling. Then, the sulfuric acid flows to the right in the cooling cavity 7. During this process, the cold air blown by the external air cooler also enters the first air-cooled cavity 8 and the second air-cooled cavity 11 through the air inlet pipe 10. When the cold air flows inside the first air-cooled cavity 8 and the second air-cooled cavity 11, it flows repeatedly through the staggered openings on the guide plate 9, thus ensuring that the cold air is in uniform contact with the outer wall of the cooling cavity 7, improving the cooling effect on the sulfuric acid in the cooling cavity 7. Finally, the cooled sulfuric acid is discharged outward through the sulfuric acid outlet pipe 6.
