Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of cooling equipment technology, and in particular relates to a cooling device for activated carbon production. Background Technology

[0002] Activated carbon is a general term for carbon materials that are produced from carbon-containing raw materials such as wood, coal, and petroleum coke through pyrolysis and activation. It has a well-developed pore structure, a large specific surface area, and abundant surface chemical groups, and has a strong specific adsorption capacity. After the production of activated carbon is completed, cooling equipment is needed for cooling.

[0003] The existing publication number CN210718256U discloses a cooling device for activated carbon production, including a cooling tank, wherein a cold air fan is fixedly installed on the top of the cooling tank and extends through and into the inside of the cooling tank.

[0004] Although the above-mentioned cooling device achieves the effect of collecting residual material, the cooling speed of activated carbon is slow and the cooling efficiency of the device is low. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to address the aforementioned technical problems by providing a cooling device for activated carbon production, which can accelerate the cooling of activated carbon and significantly improve the cooling efficiency of the device.

[0006] This application provides a cooling device for activated carbon production, including an outer cylinder, an inner cylinder, and further comprising:

[0007] The feeding pipe is installed in the inner cylinder;

[0008] The discharge pipe is installed in the inner cylinder;

[0009] A cooling assembly, which is mounted on the outer cylinder;

[0010] The cooling assembly includes a drive motor, an auger shaft, a cooling pump, an inlet pipe, a heat exchange tube, an outlet pipe, and a dust storage assembly. The drive motor is installed on the outer wall of the inner cylinder. The auger shaft is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor and is located inside the inner cylinder. The cooling pump is located outside the outer cylinder. One end of the inlet pipe is connected to the cooling pump. The heat exchange tube is spirally wound around the outer wall of the inner cylinder. One end of the heat exchange tube is connected to the inlet pipe. One end of the outlet pipe is installed on the heat exchange tube, and the other end is installed on the cooling pump.

[0011] When the operator needs to cool the activated carbon, the material is placed into the inner cylinder through the feeding pipe. Then, the drive motor drives the auger shaft to rotate, and the auger shaft moves the material forward. As the material moves forward in the inner cylinder, the cooling pump pumps out coolant, which enters the heat exchange tube through the inlet pipe. Both the inner and outer cylinders are made of metals with good thermal conductivity. The heat exchange tube is wound around the inner cylinder to exchange and dissipate heat from the inner cylinder. After the heat exchange tube has completed the heat exchange and dissipation of the inner cylinder, the coolant in the tube is discharged through the outlet pipe and returned to the cooling pump for cooling and then pumped out again to the inlet pipe for circulation. The heat exchange tube exchanges heat with the inner cylinder, making the inner cylinder cool down faster, which can make the activated carbon cool faster and significantly improve the cooling efficiency of the cooling device.

[0012] Furthermore, the cooling assembly also includes:

[0013] A cooling fan, which is mounted on the outer cylinder;

[0014] An air inlet duct is disposed between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder;

[0015] Air outlet, which is located on the outer cylinder.

[0016] While the heat exchange tubes are exchanging heat with the inner cylinder, the cooling fan starts working and blows air into the air inlet. The airflow enters the annular interlayer space formed by the inner and outer cylinders through the air inlet, and then cools the inner cylinder and heat exchange tubes with air, which further improves the cooling efficiency of the cooling device for activated carbon.

[0017] Furthermore, the dust storage assembly includes:

[0018] A dust collection box is installed on the outer cylinder, and the dust collection box is connected to the air outlet. The lower end of the dust collection box is open.

[0019] A filter screen, which is installed inside a dust collection box;

[0020] A negative pressure fan is installed inside a dust collection box.

[0021] The air is blown into the interlayer between the inner and outer cylinders to cool the inner cylinder and heat exchange tubes. The air is then blown out through the outlet and discharged through the dust collection box. After the cooling fan starts working, the negative pressure fan also starts working. The negative pressure fan can suck the activated carbon ash layer that has fallen off from the interlayer between the inner and outer cylinders into the dust collection box. The activated carbon ash layer itself has recycling value. After entering the dust collection box, the activated carbon ash layer will be blocked and adhered to the filter cotton screen, which is convenient for the operator to collect and process later.

[0022] Furthermore, the dust storage assembly also includes:

[0023] Mounting ring, which is mounted on the outer cylinder;

[0024] The mounting slots are provided in two places and are symmetrically arranged on the mounting ring.

[0025] A locking block, wherein the locking block is disposed within a mounting slot;

[0026] A pull rod, which is mounted on the lock block;

[0027] A compression spring, one end of which is mounted on a mounting groove and the other end of which is mounted on a locking block;

[0028] The dust collection box has two keyholes, which are symmetrically arranged on the dust collection box.

[0029] When a user needs to remove the dust collection box from the outer cylinder to replace the filter screen or to collect the carbon ash layer attached to the filter screen, the user pulls the lever outward. At this time, the locking block moves synchronously with the lever until it is completely disengaged from the lock hole, allowing the user to remove the dust collection box. When the user needs to install the dust collection box, the user pulls the lever to make the locking block fully retract into the mounting groove. The user then inserts the dust collection box into the mounting ring. After insertion, the user stops applying force to the lever, and the compression spring returns to its original position, causing the locking block to push out and lock into the lock hole. The lock hole and locking block make it easier and less strenuous for the operator to remove and install the dust collection box on the mounting ring.

[0030] Furthermore, the lock hole is a cross-shaped insertion hole.

[0031] Since the lock hole is a cross-shaped insertion hole and the cross section of one end of the lock block is also cross-shaped, when the lock block is inserted into the cross-shaped lock hole, the dust collection box is less likely to loosen or fall off on the mounting ring, thus avoiding the dust collection box from shifting position on the mounting ring and affecting the containment of the carbon ash layer.

[0032] Furthermore, the pull rod is equipped with an anti-slip handle, and the anti-slip handle is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0033] The pull rod is equipped with an anti-slip handle, the cross-sectional diameter of which is larger than that of the pull rod, making it easier for the user to grip and pull. The anti-slip texture on the handle also makes it less likely for the user to slip out of their hand when gripping and pulling the pull rod.

[0034] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0035] 1. The heat exchange tube exchanges heat with the inner cylinder, which makes the inner cylinder cool down faster, and the activated carbon can be cooled down faster, significantly improving the cooling efficiency of the cooling device.

[0036] 2. The cooling fan starts working and blows air into the air inlet. The airflow enters the annular sandwich space formed by the inner and outer cylinders through the air inlet, and then cools the inner cylinder and heat exchange tubes with air, which further improves the cooling efficiency of the cooling device for activated carbon.

[0037] 3. The carbon ash layer itself has recycling value. After entering the dust storage box, the carbon ash layer will be blocked and adhered to the filter cotton screen, making it easier for the operator to collect and process it later. Attached Figure Description

[0042] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0043] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0044] The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific examples and application scenarios.

[0045] Example 1:

[0046] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this application provides a cooling device for activated carbon production, including an outer cylinder 100, an inner cylinder 200, and further comprising:

[0047] Feed pipe 300, which is installed in inner cylinder 200;

[0048] The discharge pipe 400 is installed in the inner cylinder 200;

[0049] A cooling assembly 500 is mounted on the outer cylinder 100;

[0050] The cooling assembly 500 includes a drive motor 510, an auger shaft 520, a cooling pump 530, an inlet pipe 540, a heat exchange pipe 550, an outlet pipe 560, and a dust storage assembly 570. The drive motor 510 is installed on the outer wall of the inner cylinder 200. The auger shaft 520 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 510 and is located inside the inner cylinder 200. The cooling pump 530 is located outside the outer cylinder 100. One end of the inlet pipe 540 is connected to the cooling pump 530. The heat exchange pipe 550 is spirally wound around the outer wall of the inner cylinder 200 and is connected to the inlet pipe 540 at one end. One end of the outlet pipe 560 is installed on the heat exchange pipe 550, and the other end is installed on the cooling pump 530.

[0051] When the operator needs to cool the activated carbon, the material is placed into the inner cylinder 200 through the feeding pipe 300. Then, the drive motor 510 drives the auger shaft 520 to rotate, and the auger shaft 520 moves the material forward. As the material moves forward in the inner cylinder 200, the cooling pump 530 pumps out coolant through the inlet pipe 540 into the heat exchange tube 550. Both the inner cylinder 200 and the outer cylinder 100 are made of metal with good thermal conductivity. The heat exchange tube 550 is wound around the inner cylinder 200 to exchange and dissipate heat from the inner cylinder 200. After the heat exchange tube 550 completes the heat exchange and dissipation of heat from the inner cylinder 200, the coolant in the tube is discharged through the outlet pipe 560 and returned to the cooling pump 530 for cooling and then pumped out again to the inlet pipe 540 for circulation. The heat exchange tube 550 exchanges heat with the inner cylinder 200, making the inner cylinder 200 cool down faster, which can make the activated carbon cool faster and significantly improve the cooling efficiency of the cooling device.

[0052] Example 2:

[0053] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this application embodiment provides a cooling device for activated carbon production. In addition to the above-mentioned technical features, the cooling component 500 further includes:

[0054] Cooling fan 581, the cooling fan 581 is installed on the outer cylinder 100;

[0055] Air inlet 582, wherein the air inlet 582 is disposed between the inner cylinder 200 and the outer cylinder 100;

[0056] Air outlet 583 is provided on the outer cylinder 100.

[0057] While the heat exchange tube 550 is exchanging heat with the inner cylinder 200, the cooling fan 581 starts working and blows air into the air inlet 582. The airflow enters the annular interlayer space formed by the inner cylinder 200 and the outer cylinder 100 through the air inlet 582, and then cools the inner cylinder 200 and the heat exchange tube 550 by air cooling, thereby further improving the cooling efficiency of the cooling device for activated carbon.

[0058] Example 3:

[0059] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, this application embodiment provides a cooling device for activated carbon production. In addition to the above-mentioned technical features, the dust storage component 570 includes:

[0060] Dust collection box 571, the dust collection is installed on the outer cylinder 100, the dust collection box 571 is connected to the air outlet 583, and the lower end of the dust collection box 571 is open;

[0061] Filter mesh 572 is installed inside dust collection box 571;

[0062] Negative pressure fan 573 is installed inside dust collection box 571.

[0063] After the air is blown into the interlayer between the inner cylinder 200 and the outer cylinder 100 to cool the inner cylinder 200 and the heat exchange tube 550, it is blown out through the air outlet 583 and discharged through the dust collection box 571. After the cooling fan 581 starts working, the negative pressure fan 573 also starts working. The negative pressure fan 573 can suck the carbon ash layer that has fallen off the activated carbon in the interlayer between the inner cylinder 200 and the outer cylinder 100 into the dust collection box 571. The carbon ash layer itself has recycling value. After entering the dust collection box 571, the carbon ash layer will be blocked and adhered to the filter cotton screen 572, which is convenient for the operator to collect and process later.

[0064] Example 4:

[0065] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, this application embodiment provides a cooling device for activated carbon production. In addition to the above-mentioned technical features, the dust storage component 570 further includes:

[0066] Mounting ring 574, which is mounted on outer cylinder 100;

[0067] Mounting slot 575, two mounting slots 575 are provided, and the mounting slots 575 are symmetrically arranged on the mounting ring 574;

[0068] Locking block 576, wherein the locking block 576 is disposed in mounting groove 575;

[0069] Pull rod 577, which is mounted on lock block 576;

[0070] Compression spring 578, one end of which is mounted on mounting groove 575 and the other end is mounted on locking block 576;

[0071] There are two lock holes 579, which are symmetrically arranged on the dust collection box 571.

[0072] When a user needs to remove the dust collection box 571 from the outer cylinder 100 to replace the filter screen 572 inside the dust collection box 571 or to collect the carbon ash layer attached to the filter screen 572, the user pulls the lever 577 outward. At this time, the locking block 576 moves synchronously with the lever 577 until it is completely disengaged from the locking hole 579. At this time, the user can remove the dust collection box 571. When it is necessary to install the dust collection box 571, the user pulls the lever 577 to make the locking block 576 completely retract into the mounting groove 575. At this time, the user inserts the dust collection box 571 into the mounting ring 574. After the insertion is completed, the user stops applying force to the lever 577. At this time, the compression spring 578 returns to its original position, causing the locking block 576 to be pushed out and inserted into the locking hole 579. The locking hole 579 and the locking block 576 make it more convenient and less labor-intensive for the operator to remove and install the dust collection box 571 on the mounting ring 574.

[0073] Example 5:

[0074] like Figure 3 As shown, this application embodiment provides a cooling device for activated carbon production. In addition to the above-mentioned technical features, the locking hole 579 is a cross-shaped insertion hole.

[0075] Since the lock hole 579 is a cross-shaped insertion hole, and the cross section of one end of the lock block 576 is also cross-shaped, when the lock block 576 is inserted into the cross-shaped lock hole 579, the dust collection box 571 is less likely to become loose or detached from the mounting ring 574, thus avoiding the positional displacement of the dust collection box 571 on the mounting ring 574, which would affect the containment of the carbon ash layer.

[0076] Example 6:

[0077] like Figure 2As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a cooling device for activated carbon production. In addition to the above-mentioned technical features, the pull rod 577 is equipped with an anti-slip handle 591, and the anti-slip handle 591 is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0078] The lever 577 is equipped with an anti-slip handle 591. The cross-sectional diameter of the anti-slip handle 591 is larger than that of the lever 577, making it easier for the user to grip and pull. The anti-slip texture on the anti-slip handle 591 makes it less likely for the user to slip out of their hand when gripping and pulling the lever 577.
