Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ventilation and filtration technology, specifically to a ventilation device for a dryer. Background Technology
[0002] In the production and processing of polymer materials, the drying process plays a crucial role. Polymer materials often contain a certain amount of moisture or solvents, which need to be removed through drying to ensure their subsequent processing performance and product quality. Drying equipment typically relies on a ventilation system to circulate hot air and expel humid air, ensuring drying efficiency and effectiveness.
[0003] Currently, most polymer material dryers widely used in the market are equipped with ventilation and filtration devices. These devices are designed to intercept dust, debris, volatile small molecules, and any incompletely dried material particles generated during the drying process, preventing them from entering the external environment with the exhaust air or recirculating back into the dryer, thus affecting drying quality and causing environmental pollution.
[0004] As the drying process continues, impurities trapped in the ventilation and filtration devices accumulate, gradually clogging the filter screens or filter media pores. Once clogged, ventilation resistance increases significantly, hindering air circulation within the dryer. Hot air cannot be evenly and effectively distributed around the material, forcing a longer drying time, reducing drying efficiency and increasing energy consumption. For example, in some companies producing polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic granules, clogging of the drying ventilation and filtration devices has extended the drying cycle by approximately 30% compared to normal, resulting in a corresponding increase in energy consumption.
[0005] To maintain the proper filtration function of the filtration device, it needs to be cleaned regularly. However, the structural design of most existing ventilation filtration devices is not conducive to cleaning operations, often requiring manual disassembly of the filter screen or filter media for cleaning, a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. Moreover, manual cleaning requires machine shutdown, which further affects the continuous production of polymer materials and causes many inconveniences to the company's production planning. Taking a polymer fiber production factory as an example, each manual cleaning of the drying ventilation filtration device requires at least 2-3 hours of production stoppage, and frequent shutdowns for cleaning severely restrict the improvement of production capacity.
[0006] Even with manual cleaning, incomplete cleaning often occurs due to the complex structure of some filters or the difficulty in reaching every corner of the filter screen using cleaning methods. Residual impurities quickly clog the filter again during the next drying process, creating a vicious cycle of repeated cleaning but still unsatisfactory filtration results. This fails to fundamentally solve the drying quality and efficiency problems caused by filtration issues.
[0007] In summary, given the numerous problems existing in the practical application of the ventilation and filtration devices of existing polymer material dryers, there is an urgent need for a ventilation and filtration self-cleaning device that can achieve automatic cleaning, has good cleaning effect, effectively reduces manual labor intensity, and does not affect normal production, so as to meet the requirements of efficient and stable operation of polymer material drying process. Utility Model Content
[0008] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a ventilation device for a dryer.
[0009] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives and effects, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:
[0010] A ventilation device for a dryer includes an outer cylinder, a top cover on the top wall of the outer cylinder, an air inlet pipe on the top wall of the top cover, an inner cylinder embedded inside the outer cylinder, the outer wall of the inner cylinder being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer cylinder via multiple connecting blocks, a liquid inlet pipe on the outer wall of the inner cylinder, multiple drain holes on the inner wall of the inner cylinder, a filter cartridge embedded inside the inner cylinder, the top wall of the filter cartridge being fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the top cover via a top pipe, a bottom pipe on the bottom wall of the filter cartridge, and a discharge mechanism on the bottom wall of the outer cylinder.
[0011] Furthermore, the discharge mechanism includes a lower cover, and the bottom end of the bottom tube is fixedly connected to the top wall of the lower cover. The outer wall of the lower cover has multiple through holes. The bottom wall of the lower cover has a base, the bottom wall of the base has a connecting seat, the bottom wall of the connecting seat has a pipe one, the outer wall of the pipe one has a valve one, the middle of the bottom wall of the lower cover has a pipe two, the bottom wall of the pipe two penetrates the base, and the outer wall of the pipe two has a valve two, a connecting pipe is provided between the bottom walls of the pipe one and the pipe two, the outer wall of the connecting pipe has a valve three, the outer wall of the connecting pipe also has a pipe three, and the outer wall of the pipe three has a valve four.
[0012] Furthermore, the plurality of through holes are arranged circumferentially on the outer wall of the lower cover.
[0013] Furthermore, the base is connected to the inner cavity of the outer cylinder through a through hole.
[0014] Furthermore, the inner cylinder has a hollow structure, and the drain holes are arranged circumferentially at equal intervals on the inner wall of the inner cylinder.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] The ventilation and filtration self-cleaning device of this utility model can effectively prevent the filter from becoming clogged due to the accumulation of impurities. By regularly and automatically cleaning the filter cartridge, it can maintain its good filtration performance, keep the ventilation resistance within a reasonable range, ensure smooth air circulation in the dryer, and ensure that hot air is evenly and effectively distributed around the polymer material. This avoids the problem of forced extension of drying time due to poor air circulation, significantly improves drying efficiency, and helps enterprises complete more drying operations per unit time.
[0017] The device has an automatic cleaning function, which changes the inconvenience of relying on manual disassembly of filter screens or filter media for cleaning. It no longer requires frequent manual intervention in cleaning work. Operators only need to start the self-cleaning operation according to the set program, which greatly reduces the intensity of manual labor and saves labor costs.
[0018] Unlike existing ventilation and filtration devices that require shutdown for manual cleaning, this invention can achieve self-cleaning during normal equipment operation without interrupting the drying and production of polymer materials. It does not affect continuous production operations, avoids the many inconveniences caused to the company's production plan due to shutdown for cleaning, and helps the company maintain a stable and efficient production rhythm and ensure stable output of production capacity.
[0019] The excellent cleaning effect breaks the vicious cycle of repeated cleaning but still unsatisfactory filtration, fundamentally solving the problem of low drying quality and efficiency caused by filtration issues. This allows the ventilation and filtration device to maintain good filtration and ventilation conditions for a long time, ensuring efficient and stable operation of the drying process.
