Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a crystallization bed heating system employing a dual-channel filtration mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In polyester production, the raw material chips used need to be crystallized and dehumidified before use. The airflow direction during crystallization is: crystallization fan → connecting pipe → crystallization heater → crystallization bed → cyclone separator → crystallization fan inlet. The heater is typically set to a heating temperature of 170℃-178℃. Due to inherent defects in the crystallization system, some polyester chips may flow into the heating pipes during operation, where they melt and accumulate at high temperatures. When a certain amount accumulates, the air duct connecting the heater becomes blocked, causing a rapid rise in temperature within the pipes. The raw material chips adhering to the heating pipes ignite at high temperatures, burning out the heating pipes. The high temperature within the pipes also causes the chips in the crystallization bed to clump or melt, leading to system malfunctions, equipment damage, and shutdowns, resulting in significant losses.
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, a filter device is typically installed between the cyclone separator and the crystallizing blower. However, during production, after the unit has been running for a certain period of time, polyester chips may become stuck on the filter device, causing poor ventilation in the circulating air duct. In this case, the machine needs to be stopped to clean the filter device, which will cause production to be suspended and affect normal production. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a crystallization bed heating system employing a dual-channel filtration mechanism. By configuring the filtration device into a dual-channel structure, the system can be cleaned without stopping the machine, thus ensuring continuous production and effectively solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is:
[0006] A crystallization bed heating system employing a dual-channel filtration mechanism includes a crystallization fan, a crystallization heater disposed in front of the crystallization fan, a cyclone separator disposed in rear of the crystallization fan, and a circulation duct connected to the front and rear sides of the crystallization fan. A filtration device is provided on the circulation duct between the crystallization fan and the cyclone separator. The filtration device includes a first duct and a second duct arranged in parallel. The first duct and the second duct are connected to the circulation duct. The first duct is provided with a first filter and a first valve, and the second duct is provided with a second filter and a second valve.
[0007] Preferably, both the first filter and the second filter include a housing and a filter plate disposed inside the housing. The housing has a storage box at the bottom of the side of the filter plate facing the cyclone separator, and the top of the storage box is connected to the housing to form a feed inlet.
[0008] Preferably, a pair of symmetrically arranged guide plates are fixed at the feed inlet. The top of the guide plates is fixed to the edge of the feed inlet, and the bottom is inclined towards the center of the feed inlet, forming a feed gap between the two guide plates.
[0009] Preferably, the inner walls on the left and right sides of the housing are fixed with guide strips on both sides of the filter plate, the filter plate is inserted into the groove between the two guide strips, the top of the housing is provided with a socket hole that matches the filter plate, and a socket cover is fixed to the outside of the housing at the socket hole.
[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the filter plate is located at the feed inlet, and the top is inclined toward the side where the cyclone separator is located.
[0011] Preferably, the filter plate includes a filter screen and a filter screen frame fixed around the filter screen.
[0012] Preferably, a handle is fixed to the top of the filter frame.
[0013] Preferably, the bottom of the socket cover is provided with a sealing ring, and the socket cover is fixed to the box body by bolts.
[0014] Preferably, the bottom of the storage box is provided with a discharge port, and the discharge port is provided with a discharge valve.
[0015] This utility model forms a dual-channel filtration mechanism by installing a first filter and a second filter on the first air duct and the second air duct respectively. During production, the first valve and the second valve control one of the filters to work while the other filter is cleaned, thereby avoiding unit downtime caused by filter cleaning and ensuring continuous production.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] 1. Dual-channel redundancy design: The first and second air ducts connected in parallel are each equipped with independent filters and valves, allowing seamless switching to the other side when cleaning the filter on one side, eliminating downtime and ensuring production continuity;
[0018] 2. Intelligent valve switching: By controlling the opening and closing status of the first and second valves, the filtration channel can be switched instantly, avoiding production interruptions and improving equipment utilization.
[0019] 3. Modular filter plate design: The filter plate is installed by inserting and removing it through a guide strip. The top handle design makes it easy to put the filter plate in and take it out. The sealing ring of the insertion hole cover is fixed with bolts to ensure the system's airtightness after operation and prevent air leakage.
[0020] 4. Guide plate and inclined filter plate: The guide plate forms a feeding slit, guiding the slices into the storage box, and the material in the storage box is not easy to return to the box. The inclined design of the filter plate uses gravity to accelerate the slices to fall, reducing the slice retention rate by more than 50% and extending the filtration cycle.
[0021] 5. Storage tank and discharge valve: The discharge valve at the bottom of the storage tank supports the periodic discharge of accumulated chips to prevent the risk of blockage. Combined with the cleanability of the filter plate, the system blockage failure rate is greatly reduced.
[0022] 6. Sealing and structural strength: The housing is fixed with bolts and has a sealing ring design to ensure no air or material leakage under high temperature and high pressure, maintain stable pressure in the circulating air duct, and avoid the risk of slice melting or clumping.
[0023] 7. Dual-channel lifespan equalization: Alternating use of two sets of filters can even out wear, extending the lifespan of a single-sided filter by 1.5 times and reducing spare parts replacement costs.
[0024] 8. Energy-saving operation: The system avoids energy waste caused by emergency shutdowns by reducing downtime and failure rate. Attached Figure Description
