Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of urea production technology, and more specifically, to a feeder for automotive urea production. Background Technology
[0002] As the core raw material for diesel vehicle exhaust treatment fluid, automotive urea requires precise mixing of high-purity urea granules with deionized water during its production process. The nitrogen-protected screw feeder is an innovative structure designed to solve the problems of moisture absorption, clumping, adhesion, and blockage of automotive urea granules during transportation. Its core lies in the synergistic effect of inert gas environment control, anti-stick coating technology, and dynamic monitoring system to achieve stable transportation of highly humidity-sensitive materials.
[0003] In existing technologies, urea granules are highly hygroscopic, and traditional screw conveyors are prone to bridging and blockage during the conveying process, leading to production line shutdowns. At the same time, existing screw conveyors do not make it easy to adjust the flow rate of nitrogen when it is injected. Low-speed nitrogen injection cannot effectively suppress urea's moisture absorption, while high-speed injection causes airflow disturbance, leading to material fluidization, which raises the risk of bridging. Furthermore, it is easy to carry particles that impact the screw conveyor, causing wear and tear on the screw conveyor. Utility Model Content

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a feeding machine for automotive urea production, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. The screening plate on the screening box facilitates the screening of urea granules.

The screening box 3 is equipped with a control valve 4 and a feed pipe 5. A screening plate 6 is mounted on the screening box 3. A moving device and a moving rod 7 are slidably mounted on the screening box 3. A dual-shaft motor 8 is mounted on the moving rod 7. Rotating shafts 9 are located at both ends of the dual-shaft motor 8. A material-pulling plate 10 is circumferentially mounted on the rotating shafts 9. An air inlet pipe 11 is mounted on the screw conveyor 2. A flow rate regulating device is mounted on the air inlet pipe 11, and the flow rate regulating device includes an regulating block 12. An adjusting block 12 is inclined and circumferentially positioned inside the air inlet pipe 11. An adjusting plate 13 is slidably mounted inside the air inlet pipe 11. An adjusting groove 14 that engages with the adjusting block 12 is provided on the adjusting plate 13. The moving device includes a moving plate 15, on which a moving half gear 16 is symmetrically rotatably mounted. A moving rack 17 that engages with the moving half gear 16 is fixedly mounted at one end of the moving rod 7. Moving gears 18 are coaxially mounted on the two moving half gears 16. A transmission gear 19 meshes between the two moving gears 18. A transmission motor 20 is mounted at one end of the transmission gear 19. Guide blocks 21 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the screening box 3. A nitrogen generator 28 and a gas storage tank 29 are mounted on one side of the air inlet pipe 11.
[0030] In this embodiment, before the feeder 1 starts feeding, the nitrogen generator 28 is turned on and nitrogen is stored in the gas storage tank 29. The gas storage tank 29 is equipped with a pressure regulating valve, flow meter, and other structures. The nitrogen is transported to the screw conveyor 2 through the inlet pipe 11 to replace the air in the hopper. The screw conveyor 2 is equipped with an oxygen content detector and a humidity detector to detect the oxygen content and humidity in the hopper. When the oxygen content is less than 0.5% and the humidity drops to 5%, the feed pipe 5 is controlled by the control valve 4 to feed the nitrogen, which is then screened by the screening plate 6. The drive motor 20 is then started, and the drive motor 20 drives... The transmission gear 19 rotates, driving the moving gear 18 to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. The moving gear 18 drives the moving half gear 16 to rotate. The moving half gear 16, in turn, moves the moving rack 17 and the moving rod 7 to move back and forth. At the same time, the dual-shaft motor 8 is started, driving the rotating shaft 9 and the material feeding plate 10 to rotate. In conjunction with the guide block 21, the urea is turned over and agitated to break up clumps. The movement of the moving rod 7 improves the agitation effect of the material feeding plate 10 and increases the screening efficiency of the screening plate 6. The screened urea is then fed through the screw conveyor 2.
[0031] Please see Figures 4-5As one embodiment of the flow rate regulating device: Sliding grooves 22 are provided on both sides of the air intake pipe 11, and a sliding block 23 that cooperates with the sliding grooves 22 is provided on the regulating plate 13. An regulating sleeve 24 is provided on the air intake pipe 11, and an regulating thread 25 is provided inside the regulating sleeve 24. An regulating head 26 that cooperates with the regulating thread 25 is provided on the sliding block 23, and fixing rings 27 are fixedly provided on both sides of the regulating sleeve 24.
[0032] More specifically, by rotating the adjusting sleeve 24 between the fixed rings 27, the sliding block 23 is moved within the sliding groove 22 through the cooperation of the adjusting thread 25 and the adjusting head 26. The sliding block 23 drives the adjusting plate 13 to move. The cooperation of the adjusting plate 13 and the adjusting groove 14 adjusts the cross-sectional area of the gas flow in the air inlet pipe 11, adjusts the gas flow rate, prevents the gas from carrying particles that impact the screw conveyor 2, reduces the wear of the screw conveyor 2, and improves the conveying stability of the screw conveyor 2.
[0033] In summary, during the use or operation of the overall equipment: before the feeder 1 begins feeding, the nitrogen generator 28 is turned on and nitrogen is stored in the gas storage tank 29. The gas storage tank 29 is equipped with a pressure regulating valve, flow meter, and other structures. Nitrogen is then transported through the inlet pipe 11 to the screw conveyor 2 to replace the air in the hopper. The screw conveyor 2 is equipped with an oxygen content detector and a humidity detector to monitor the oxygen content and humidity in the hopper. When the oxygen content is less than 0.5% and the humidity drops to 5%, the feed pipe 5 is controlled by the control valve 4 to begin feeding, and the material is screened through the screening plate 6. The drive motor 20 is then started. Machine 20 drives transmission gear 19 to rotate, transmission gear 19 drives moving gear 18 to rotate synchronously in opposite directions, moving gear 18 drives moving half gear 16 to rotate, and moving half gear 16 drives moving rack 17 to move back and forth through the movement of moving rack 17 and moving rod 7 respectively. At the same time, dual-shaft motor 8 is started, dual-shaft motor 8 drives rotating shaft 9 and material feeding plate 10 to rotate, and guide block 21 to stir and break up clumps of urea. The movement of moving rod 7 improves the breaking effect of material feeding plate 10 and improves the screening efficiency of screening plate 6. The screened urea is fed through screw conveyor 2.
[0034] Rotating the adjusting sleeve 24 between the fixed rings 27, the sliding block 23 moves within the sliding groove 22 through the cooperation of the adjusting thread 25 and the adjusting head 26. The sliding block 23 drives the adjusting plate 13 to move. The cooperation of the adjusting plate 13 and the adjusting groove 14 adjusts the cross-sectional area of the gas flow in the air inlet pipe 11, adjusts the gas flow rate, prevents the gas from carrying particles that impact the screw conveyor 2, reduces the wear of the screw conveyor 2, and improves the conveying stability of the screw conveyor 2.
