Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of quartz cleaning technology, and in particular to an integrated machine for washing and drying fused quartz production. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of fused silica, washing and drying are two crucial steps that directly impact product quality and production efficiency. Traditional washing and drying equipment is typically separate. Washed quartz needs to be manually or transported to the drying equipment, increasing the complexity of the production process and increasing the risk of secondary contamination and material loss. Furthermore, traditional washing equipment often results in uneven washing and is mostly a closed-loop structure with single-feeding, making continuous washing impossible and leading to low production efficiency. Simultaneously, traditional drying equipment usually uses only a single heating device or hot air to dry the quartz, lacking guiding and turning mechanisms, which can cause localized dampness or uneven drying, affecting product quality.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1-4 A water washing and drying integrated machine for fused quartz production is mainly used for water washing and drying of fused quartz crystals. Specifically, it includes a support base 36, a water washing unit and a drying unit.
[0029] The washing unit includes a washing tank 1 fixedly installed on a support 36. A washing inlet 2 is located on one side of the top of the washing tank 1, and a washing outlet 3 is located on one side of the middle of the washing tank 1. The washing inlet 2 and the washing outlet 3 are located on the same side. Figure 1On the left side, at least one conveyor belt 4 is provided between the water washing inlet 2 and the water washing outlet 3. A water washing pipe 5 is provided above each conveyor belt 4. Several water washing pipes 5 are arranged side by side along the conveying direction. The axial direction of the water washing pipes 5 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 4. Several spray heads 6 are installed on each water washing pipe 5. The outlet of the spray head 6 is set directly facing the conveyor belt 4 for rinsing the materials passing through. A liquid storage tank 7 is provided on one side of the water washing tank 1. The liquid storage tank 7 is fixedly installed on the support base 36 and is integrally connected to the water washing tank 1. A liquid supply pump 8 is provided in the liquid storage tank 7. The liquid outlet of the liquid supply pump 8 is connected to each water washing pipe 5 through a liquid supply pipe 23. The liquid supply pipe 23 is set outside the water washing tank 1.
[0030] The drying unit includes a drying chamber 9 located on the other side of the washing tank 1. The drying chamber 9 is fixedly mounted on the support base 36 and integrally connected to the washing tank 1. A drying inlet 10 is located on one side of the top of the drying chamber 9, and a drying outlet 11 is located at the bottom of the drying chamber 9. The drying inlet 10 communicates with the washing outlet 3, and the drying outlet 11 is equipped with a discharge valve 12. A rotating rod 13 is vertically mounted in the middle of the drying chamber 9, and a spiral blade 14 is mounted on the rotating rod 13. A heating jacket 15 is located between the spiral blade 14 and the inner wall of the drying chamber 9, and a dehumidifying fan 16 is located at the top of the heating jacket 15. A drive mechanism for rotating the rotating rod 13 is located at the top of the drying chamber 9. During drying, the spiral blade 14 conveys the material upwards to prevent bottom sedimentation and uneven drying. During discharge, it conveys the material downwards, cooperating with the discharge valve 12 for discharge.
[0031] To improve the washing effect, two conveyor belts 4 are arranged vertically side by side, one above the other, and each conveyor belt 4 is horizontally positioned. A first guide plate 17 is fixedly installed at the end of the lower conveyor belt 4 away from the washing outlet 3, and a second guide plate 18 is fixedly installed at the end of the lower conveyor belt 4 near the washing outlet 3. Both the first guide plate 17 and the second guide plate 18 are inclined. The two conveyor belts 4 convey in opposite directions. After being washed, the material on the upper conveyor belt 4 falls onto the surface of the second conveyor belt 4 under the guidance of the first guide plate 17, thus turning it over, and then continues to be washed by the washing unit. The first guide plate 17 can be a straight plate or an arc-shaped plate.
[0032] To prevent material accumulation from affecting the washing effect, a leveling roller 19 is installed between the upper conveyor belt 4 and the washing inlet 2. The two ends of the leveling roller 19 are mounted on the inner wall of the washing tank 1 via roller shafts. Several material distribution partitions 37 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the outer surface of the leveling roller 19, dividing it into several rows of conveying troughs. A first drive motor 31 is installed on one side of the washing tank 1 to drive the leveling roller 19 to rotate. The material introduced from the washing inlet 2 falls into the distribution troughs and, under the rotation of the leveling roller 19, falls onto the lower conveyor belt 4.
[0033] Furthermore, baffle plates 20 are provided on the inner wall of the washing tank 1 above each conveyor belt 4. Several baffle plates 20 are arranged side by side along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 4. A material-blocking gap is provided between the baffle plates 20 and the conveyor belt 4 to allow material to pass through. The width of the material-blocking gap is slightly larger than the maximum particle size of the quartz crystals. The baffle plates 20 are used to make the material spread evenly on the surface of the conveyor belt 4, avoiding local accumulation of material that would affect the washing effect.
[0034] To achieve resource reuse, the washing unit also includes a liquid receiving hopper 21 located at the bottom of the conveyor belt 4. A circulation pipe 22 is provided on one side of the bottom of the liquid receiving hopper 21, and the other end of the circulation pipe 22 is connected to the liquid supply pipe 23. A circulation opening valve 24 is installed on the circulation pipe 22.
[0035] Furthermore, a filter box 25 is also installed on the circulation pipe 22. The filter box 25 includes a box body with a door 26 on one side. Several positioning components are arranged side by side along the water flow direction inside the box body. Each positioning component includes two U-shaped positioning seats 27 symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower surfaces of the box body. A filter plate 28 is inserted between the two positioning seats 27. Elastic members 29 are respectively provided between the two ends of the filter plate 28 and the two positioning seats 27. The liquid receiving hopper 21 and the circulation pipe 22 can work with the filter box 25 to filter and recycle the washing liquid, significantly reducing water waste and lowering production costs. The positioning seats 27 and elastic members 29 ensure the ease of disassembly of the filter plate 28.
[0036] The upper surface of the heating jacket 15 is configured as a pouring slope 30 that slopes downward toward the rotating rod 13. The height of the pouring slope 30 is lower than that of the drying inlet 10, which facilitates the entry of materials into the inner side of the heating jacket 15.
[0037] The drive mechanism includes a second drive motor 32 fixedly installed on the top of the drying oven 9. The power output end of the second drive motor 32 is connected to the rotating rod 13 for transmission via a coupling.
[0038] Working Principle: This utility model discloses an integrated washing and drying machine for fused quartz production. During operation, the material (molten quartz crystals) first enters the washing tank 1 through the washing inlet 2 and falls into the distribution trough of the equalizing roller 19. Driven by the first drive motor 31, the equalizing roller 19 rotates, evenly distributing the material onto the conveyor belt 4 below. The material is then conveyed to the washing area by the conveyor belt 4. Spray nozzles 6 on the washing pipe 5 spray and wash the material, with the water flow direction of the spray nozzles 6 perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 4, ensuring thorough washing of the material surface. After being washed by the first conveyor belt 4, the material is guided by the first guide plate 17 to flip and fall onto the second conveyor belt 4 for a second washing. The second guide plate 18 guides the material to the washing outlet 3, ensuring double-sided cleaning during the washing process. During washing, the washing liquid is collected through the receiving hopper 21, filtered by the filter box 25, and then re-enters the supply pipe 23 through the circulation pipe 22, achieving water resource recycling.
[0039] The washed material enters the drying inlet 10 of the drying chamber 9 through the washing outlet 3 and falls inside the heating jacket 15. The heating jacket 15 heats and dries the material through an external heat source. The rotating rod 13 drives the spiral blades 14 to rotate under the drive of the second drive motor 32, conveying the material upward to prevent it from settling at the bottom and ensuring uniform drying. The upper surface of the heating jacket 15 is set as a pouring slope 30 to facilitate the smooth entry of the material into the inner side of the heating jacket 15. The exhaust fan 16 discharges moisture, accelerating the drying efficiency. After drying, the spiral blades 14 reverse, conveying the material downward to the drying outlet 11, where it is discharged through the discharge valve 12. The entire process, through the recycling of the washing liquid and the efficient drying design, significantly reduces production costs and water consumption, achieving efficient washing and drying of fused silica crystals.
[0040] Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
