[0029] In order to achieve the above objectives,

[0030] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 2 The embodiments of this application provide a vibrating fluidized bed, including a fluidized bed body 1, a vibration system 2, a hot air drying system 3, and an anti-caking system 4. The hot air drying system 3 is connected to the fluidized bed body 1. The fluidized bed body 1 includes a bed frame 11, a bed cover 12, and a distribution plate 13. The bed frame 11 and the bed cover 12 are sealed chambers 14. The distribution plate 13 is located in the sealed chambers 14. The vibration system 2 is connected to the distribution plate 13. The anti-caking system 4 is disposed on the distribution plate 13.

[0031] The material to be processed, such as potassium chloride powder containing organic impurities, is first introduced into the fluidized bed body 1 through a pipe. The distribution plate 13 is driven to vibrate by the vibration system 2, thereby driving the material on the distribution plate 13 to move away from the pipe and leave the fluidized bed body 1. When the material passes through the distribution plate 13, the material is dried by the vibration of the distribution plate 13 itself and the hot air drying system 3. During this process, the anti-caking system 4 is set on the inner wall of the bed frame 11, which can overcome the problem of potassium chloride adhering to the inner wall of the bed after absorbing moisture and requiring frequent shutdown for cleaning.

[0032] The anti-caking system 4 includes several ultrasonic transducers located on the sides of the bed frame 11. The ultrasonic transducers are located in the sealed chamber 14 and on both sides of the distribution plate 13, which facilitates the crushing of agglomerated materials on the distribution plate 13. The ultrasonic transducers can use a frequency of 28kHz, a power density of 1.0W / cm², and run for 2 minutes every 30 minutes.

[0033] As an optional implementation, the distribution plate 13 of this embodiment is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 131 and a plurality of stepped guide protrusions 132 at intervals. The inclination direction of the guide protrusions 132 is consistent with the material movement direction, and the ventilation holes 131 and guide protrusions 132 are arranged alternately.

[0034] By providing a number of vent holes 131 at intervals on the distribution plate 13, the vent holes 131, in conjunction with the hot air drying system 3, can evenly blow air upwards, thereby causing the material to enter a so-called vibratory fluidization state in conjunction with the vibration of the distribution plate 13. At this time, the material placed on the surface of the distribution plate 13 is strongly mixed, thereby efficiently inputting heat into the material, thus achieving the purpose of drying the material.

[0035] By providing a number of stepped guide protrusions 132 at intervals on the distribution plate 13, the distribution plate 13 can be driven to vibrate in conjunction with the vibration system 2, thereby driving the distribution plate 13 to move away from the feeding device 15.

[0036] Optionally, in this embodiment, the diameter of the vent 131 is 5 to 10 times the particle diameter, the protrusion height of the guide bump 132 is 5 to 10 mm, and the tilt angle is 5° to 10°; the vibration system includes two asymmetrically arranged vibration motors, and the distribution plate 13 is slightly tilted towards the discharge direction, with the tilt angle ranging from 5° to 15°.

[0037] Meanwhile, an additional discharge port can be set at the bottom of the sealed chamber 14 to collect the material falling into the bottom of the sealed chamber 14 and send it to the distribution plate 13 by manual labor or additional conveying equipment.

[0038] Optionally, in this embodiment, the flow guide protrusion 132 and the distribution plate 13 are detachably connected by threads, thereby adjusting the distribution and tilt angle of the flow guide protrusion 132 relative to the distribution plate 13, which is suitable for more application scenarios.

[0039] As an optional implementation, the hot air drying system 3 of this embodiment includes a blower 31, a heating device 32, a hot air conveying pipe 33 and an air outlet pipe 34. One end of the hot air conveying pipe 33 is connected to the bed frame 11 and is located below the distribution plate 13. The other end of the hot air conveying pipe is connected to the heating device 32 and the blower 31 in sequence. The air outlet pipe 34 is connected to the top of the bed cover 12.

[0040] The blower 31 and the heating device 32 work together to generate hot air, which is then delivered into the sealed chamber 14 through the hot air delivery pipe 33. The heating device 32 can use an electric heating wire, and the heating temperature is 120°C. An air outlet pipe 34 is provided to connect to the top of the bed cover 12 to facilitate air circulation within the sealed chamber 14.

[0041] It should be noted that the use of electric heating wire in the heating device 32 of this embodiment is only a preferred implementation of this embodiment. In other embodiments, water heating or radiant heating can also be used to achieve the heating effect.

[0042] Furthermore, the hot air conveying duct 33 of this embodiment is provided with a preliminary filtration device 35, which is connected in series between the blower 31 and the heating device 32. The preliminary filtration device 35 can be achieved by detachably connecting a cloth filter box in series with the hot air conveying duct 33, and is mainly used to filter impurities in the air drawn from the external environment by the blower 31.

[0043] Optionally, in this embodiment, a diversion pipe 36 is provided at one end of the hot air conveying pipe 33 that extends into the sealed chamber 14. The air outlets of several diversion pipes 36 are evenly distributed below the distribution plate 13, so that the hot air entering the sealed chamber 14 can be blown upward from the bottom of the distribution plate 13 evenly, thereby improving the drying efficiency.

[0044] Optionally, the hot air drying system 3 in this embodiment also includes a cyclone separator 37 and a bag filter 38, which are connected in series in the air outlet duct 34 to separate and recover dust particles during the drying process and purify the exhaust gas.

[0045] The cyclone separator 37 is a device used for separating gas-solid or liquid-solid systems. Its working principle relies on the rotational motion caused by the tangential introduction of airflow, which throws solid particles or liquid droplets with significant inertial centrifugal force towards the outer wall surface, separating them. The main features of the cyclone separator 37 are its simple structure, high operational flexibility, high efficiency, convenient management and maintenance, and low price. It is used to collect dust particles with a diameter of 5–10 μm or larger.

[0046] The bag filter 38 is a dry dust filtration device. It is suitable for collecting fine, dry, non-fibrous dust. The filter bags are made of woven filter cloth or non-woven felt, utilizing the filtration effect of the fibrous fabric to filter dust-laden gas. When the dust-laden gas enters the bag filter 38, large and heavy dust particles settle down due to gravity and fall into the ash hopper. When the gas containing finer dust passes through the filter media, the dust is trapped, thus purifying the gas.

[0047] The airflow can be filtered by the cyclone separator 37 and the bag filter 38 to effectively remove impurities from its interior.

[0048] The specific working steps are as follows: First, start the blower 31 and heating equipment 32 to preheat the hot air. Then, start the vibration system 2 to make the distribution plate 13 vibrate. The material is evenly added into the fluidized bed, and the hot air enters the sealed chamber 14 through the hot air conveying pipe 33, ensuring full contact with the material and achieving fluidization and drying. The dried exhaust gas and fine dust are discharged through the exhaust pipe 34, purified by the cyclone separator 37 and bag filter 38 before being discharged. The dried material can then enter the discharge device 16 for subsequent processing steps. Simultaneously, vibration parameters, hot air temperature, and airflow can be adjusted as needed to optimize the drying effect.

[0049] The end of the distribution plate 13 away from the feeding device 15 is detachably equipped with a collection device for collecting the dried material. The collection device can be connected to subsequent processing equipment, so that the dried material in the sealed chamber 14 can be transported to the outside.

[0050] Both the feeding device 15 and the discharging device 16 can use a pipe structure with an internal one-way valve.

[0051] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present application is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that the present application can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present application.
