Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vacuum pumping unit technology, and in particular to a vacuum pumping unit for a vacuum dehumidifier. Background Technology

[0002] A vacuum dehumidifier is a type of mechanical equipment mainly used for the rehumidification of materials. Its working principle involves using a vacuum pump to draw air from the dehumidification chamber, achieving a predetermined vacuum level. Then, a humidification system mixes water vapor and water, introducing it into the chamber as low-pressure wet steam, which the material absorbs and softens. Currently, most vacuum chambers use screw vacuum pumps for their vacuuming systems. When connecting screw vacuum pumps to other devices, straight pipe connections are typically used. However, ordinary vacuum dehumidifiers do not adequately remove moisture from the air during operation, increasing the burden on the variable-pitch dry screw vacuum pump. Therefore, we propose a vacuum dehumidifier unit. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a vacuum pumping unit for a vacuum dehumidifier to solve the problems mentioned above.

[0004] This application provides a vacuum pumping unit for a vacuum dehumidifier, comprising:

The outlet of the variable pitch dry screw vacuum pump is connected to an exhaust silencer. The lower end of the interstage cooler is connected to an automatic drain tank via a pipeline and a valve.

[0006] A baffle is fixedly connected to the lower end of the inner cavity of the interstage cooler. The upper end of the baffle is covered with a liquid-absorbing layer. A number of capillary strips are evenly arranged at the lower end of the liquid-absorbing layer, and the capillary strips penetrate the baffle.

[0007] A sealing partition is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner cavity of the interstage cooler. A first through hole is opened on the upper side of the sealing partition. A liquid suction shell is rotatably provided at the right end of the sealing partition. The liquid suction shell has four liquid suction chambers arranged in a ring array inside. Each liquid suction chamber has a liquid suction layer inside. The liquid suction shell has a second through hole symmetrically and evenly opened on the left and right end faces of the liquid suction chamber. A rubber sealing ring is embedded on the outside of the liquid suction chamber at the left end of the liquid suction shell.

[0008] Preferably, the left end of the liquid-absorbing housing is provided with a recessed groove at the left end of the liquid-absorbing cavity.

[0009] Preferably, the right end of the liquid-absorbing housing is fixedly connected to a connecting shaft, and the connecting shaft is rotatably mounted on the connecting frame via a bearing. The outer end of the connecting frame is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the detachable housing, and the left end of the detachable housing is fixedly and sealed to the right end of the interstage cooler via bolts.

[0010] Preferably, a motor is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting shaft, and the motor is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the detachable housing.

[0011] Preferably, the lower end of the inner cavity of the interstage cooler forms a water collection chamber at the lower end of the baffle, and the lower end of the water collection chamber is connected to an automatic drain tank through a pipe.

[0012] Preferably, the gas outlet of the interstage cooler is located on the right side of the liquid suction housing.

[0013] The technical solutions provided in this application have the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0014] The structure provided in this application embodiment is a dry mechanical vacuum pump, which is an air-cooled Roots vacuum pump and a variable pitch dry screw vacuum pump. It operates in a dry state without oil in the cavity and does not require working fluid or steam. The interstage cooler can remove water vapor from the gas pumped by the air-cooled Roots vacuum pump, so that most of the water vapor in the pumped gas is condensed in the interstage cooler.

[0015] Furthermore, the liquid suction layer and capillary strips at the bottom of the interstage cooler can promptly discharge the water vapor that condenses inside the interstage cooler. At the same time, the liquid suction layer inside the right-side liquid suction shell can reabsorb the water vapor in the condensed gas, greatly increasing the dryness of the gas discharged from the interstage cooler. In addition, the motor will rotate every once in a while to replace different liquid suction layers, thereby ensuring the liquid suction degree of the liquid suction layer.

[0028] like Figures 1-6 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a vacuum pumping unit for a vacuum dehumidifier, comprising:

[0029] An air-cooled Roots vacuum pump 1 is connected to an interstage cooler 2 via a pipeline. The interstage cooler 2 is connected to a check valve 3 via a pipeline, and the outlet of the check valve 3 is connected to a variable pitch dry screw vacuum pump 4 via a pipeline. The outlet of the variable pitch dry screw vacuum pump 4 is connected to an exhaust silencer 5. The lower end of the interstage cooler 2 is connected to an automatic drain tank 19 via a pipeline and a valve.

[0030] The lower end of the inner cavity of the interstage cooler 2 is fixedly connected to a baffle 6, the upper end of the baffle 6 is covered with a liquid-absorbing layer 7, and the lower end of the liquid-absorbing layer 7 is uniformly provided with a plurality of capillary strips 12, and the capillary strips 12 penetrate the baffle 6.

[0031] A sealing partition 10 is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner cavity of the interstage cooler 2. A first through hole 14 is opened on the upper side of the sealing partition 10. A liquid suction shell 11 is rotatably provided on the right end of the sealing partition 10. The liquid suction shell 11 has four liquid suction chambers arranged in a ring array inside. Each liquid suction chamber is provided with a liquid suction layer 16. The liquid suction shell 11 has second through holes 17 symmetrically and evenly opened on the left and right end faces of the liquid suction chambers. A rubber sealing ring 13 is embedded on the outside of the liquid suction chamber at the left end of the liquid suction shell 11.

[0032] Specifically: the air-cooled Roots vacuum pump 1, check valve 3, variable pitch dry screw vacuum pump 4, and exhaust silencer 5 all use existing equipment.

[0033] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown: The left end of the liquid suction housing 11 is provided with a recessed groove 15 at the left end of the liquid suction cavity.

[0034] Specifically, the recessed groove 15 can act as a buffer. The gas in the interstage cooler 2 enters the recessed groove 15 after passing through the first through hole 14, and then enters the liquid absorption layer 16 through the second through hole 17, thereby preventing the side wall of the liquid absorption shell 11 from blocking the gas from entering the interior of the liquid absorption layer 16.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown: The right end of the liquid absorption housing 11 is fixedly connected to a connecting shaft, and the connecting shaft is rotatably mounted on the connecting frame 18 through a bearing. The outer end of the connecting frame 18 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the detachable housing 9, and the left end of the detachable housing 9 is fixedly and sealed to the right end of the interstage cooler 2 by bolts.

[0036] Specifically, the connecting bracket 18 makes the rotation of the liquid suction housing 11 more stable.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown: A motor 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting shaft, and the motor 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the detachable housing 9.

[0038] Specifically: Motor 8 is a commercially available motor, and motor 8 drives the liquid suction housing 11 to rotate.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown: The lower end of the inner cavity of the interstage cooler 2 forms a water collection chamber at the lower end of the baffle 6, and the lower end of the water collection chamber is connected to the automatic drain tank 19 through a pipe.

[0040] Specifically: the automatic drain tank 19 adopts a drain tank that is already available on the market.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown: The gas outlet of the interstage cooler 2 is located on the right side of the liquid suction housing 11.

[0042] Specifically: the gas processed inside the interstage cooler 2 will pass through the liquid absorption layer 16 to remove water vapor again.

[0043] Operating principle: During operation, both the air-cooled Roots vacuum pump 1 and the variable pitch dry screw vacuum pump 4 are dry mechanical vacuum pumps, operating without oil in their chambers. They require no working fluid or steam, significantly reducing operating costs. Furthermore, the interstage cooler removes water vapor from the gas pumped by the air-cooled Roots vacuum pump, allowing most of the water vapor in the pumped gas to condense within the interstage cooler 2. This reduces the pumping load on the variable pitch dry screw vacuum pump 4 and increases the pumping capacity of non-condensable gases. Additionally, an automatic drain tank 19 is installed at the drain point of the interstage cooler 2, allowing for automatic drainage based on the amount of condensate, eliminating the need for manual operation. The check valve 3 prevents gas backflow during the shutdown and rehumidification process, thus preventing damage to the vacuum level and affecting the rehumidification effect.

[0044] Furthermore, the liquid-absorbing layer 7 and capillary strip 12 at the bottom of the interstage cooler 2 can promptly discharge the water vapor that condenses inside the interstage cooler 2. At the same time, the liquid-absorbing layer 16 inside the liquid-absorbing shell 11 on the right side can reabsorb the water vapor in the condensed gas, thereby greatly increasing the dryness of the gas discharged from the interstage cooler 2. In addition, the motor 8 will rotate 90 degrees every once in a while to replace different liquid-absorbing layers 16, thereby ensuring the liquid absorption of the liquid-absorbing layer 16.

[0045] Meanwhile, the liquid-absorbing housing 11 can be disassembled along with the detachable housing 9 to replace the liquid-absorbing layer 16.

[0046] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, enabling those skilled in the art to understand or implement this application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, this application is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features claimed in this application.
