Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the field of dryer technology, and more specifically, to a double-helix paddle dryer. Background Technology

[0002] In the treatment of spent activated carbon, the double-spiral paddle dryer plays a crucial role in removing moisture and preparing for regeneration. However, current dryers of this type have significant drawbacks in the feeding and discharging stages. Spent activated carbon particles are uneven and highly viscous, making it difficult for ordinary feeding devices to ensure they enter the dryer evenly. This results in uneven material distribution, with some areas accumulating and affecting mixing and heat transfer, while other areas are sparse, wasting heat and reducing overall production efficiency. During discharge, due to the adsorption and stickiness of the spent activated carbon, it easily adheres to the discharge port and channels, causing poor discharge, material residue that reduces the recovery rate, and often leads to blockages, requiring frequent shutdowns for cleaning. This seriously affects production continuity, and the deterioration of residual material also reduces the quality of subsequent processing. Improvements are urgently needed. Utility Model Content

[0033] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0034] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a double-helix paddle dryer according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is illustrated, comprising:

[0035] The outer casing 1 and a pair of propeller blades 2 are rotatably connected inside the outer casing 1;

[0036] A pair of transmission gears 3 and a drive motor 4, the transmission gears 3 are located at one end of the propeller blade 2, and the output end of the drive motor 4 is connected to one of the propeller blades 2;

[0037] The storage bin 5 and the feeding assembly 6 are provided. The storage bin 5 is located outside the housing 1, and the feeding assembly 6 is located on the top of the housing 1.

[0038] Exhaust heat exchanger 7 is disposed on the top of housing 1;

[0039] The discharge assembly 8 is disposed in the outer casing 1;

[0040] The feeding assembly 6 includes a conveying pipe 6-1, which is connected to one side of the storage bin 5. A first conveying auger 6-2 is installed inside the conveying pipe 6-1. An outer cover 6-3 is installed on the top of the outer shell 1. The conveying pipe 6-1 is connected to the outer cover 6-3. A side cover 6-4 is installed on the side surface of the outer cover 6-3. A telescopic cylinder 6-5 is installed on the outer surface of the side cover 6-4. A sealing plate 6-6 is slidably connected between the side cover 6-4 and the inner part of the outer cover 6-3. The sealing plate 6-6 is connected to the output end of the telescopic cylinder 6-5. A second cylinder 6-7 is installed on one side of the storage bin 5. A pusher 6-8 is installed at the output end of the second cylinder 6-7. The other end of the pusher 6-8 is slidably connected to the outer shell 1. The pusher 6-8 has a grid-like structure.

[0041] In some examples, to achieve the effect of dispersing the waste activated carbon, a feeding assembly 6 is designed. This assembly includes a conveying pipe 6-1 and a first conveying auger 6-2 inside. One end of the conveying pipe 6-1 is located inside the storage bin, and the activated carbon can be conveyed upwards by the first conveying auger 6-2. The top of the outer shell 1 is provided with an outer cover 6-3 that communicates with the conveying pipe 6-1. The outer cover 6-3 communicates with the inside of the outer shell 1, allowing the activated carbon to disperse and fall into the outer shell 1. The side surface of the outer cover 6-3 is provided with a side cover 6-4, and a telescopic cylinder 6-5 is installed on the outer surface of the side cover 6-4. -4 is slidably connected to the outer cover 6-3 and the output end of the telescopic cylinder 6-5. The sealing plate 6-6 can be controlled by the telescopic cylinder 6-5 to close the outer cover 6-3, preventing material and flowing air from entering. A second cylinder 6-7 is provided on one side of the storage box 5. The output end of the cylinder is provided with a pusher 6-8 that is slidably connected to the outer shell 1. The pusher 6-8 can be controlled by the second cylinder 6-7 to move left and right repeatedly. The pusher 6-8 has a grid-like structure, which can break up the activated carbon that is stuck together when it moves repeatedly, so that it can maintain a certain loose state during transportation.

[0042] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment proposes an exhaust heat exchange assembly 7, which includes an exhaust pipe 7-1. The exhaust pipe 7-1 is disposed on the top of the outer shell 1, and a heat exchanger 7-2 is disposed on the top of the outer shell 1. The heat exchanger 7-2 is connected to the exhaust pipe 7-1.

[0043] In some examples, in order to achieve the effect of exhausting waste heat, an exhaust heat exchange component 7 is designed, including an exhaust pipe 7-1 and a heat exchanger 7-2. The heat exchanger 7-2 is fixed to the top of the outer shell 1. The exhaust pipe 7-1 can exhaust the hot air inside the outer shell 1 to the outside. During the exhaust process, the water flowing inside the heat exchanger 7-2 can be heated to achieve the effect of utilizing waste heat.

[0044] like Figures 1-4As shown, this embodiment proposes a discharge assembly 8, which includes a partition 8-1. The partition 8-1 is movably connected to the outside of a pair of propeller blades 2. A third cylinder 8-2 is installed on one side of the outer shell 1. The output end of the third cylinder 8-2 is connected to the partition 8-1. A discharge hood 8-3 is provided at the bottom of the outer shell 1. A discharge pipe 8-4 is connected to the bottom of the discharge hood 8-3. A second conveying auger 8-5 is provided inside the discharge pipe 8-4. The surface at the connection between the inner bottom surface of the outer shell 1 and the discharge hood 8-3 is an inclined structural surface.

[0045] In some examples, to achieve full discharge, a discharge assembly 8 is designed, including a partition 8-1, which is slidably connected to two propeller blades 2, and a third cylinder 8-2, which can control the movement of the partition 8-1. The partition 8-1 can enclose a region inside the outer shell 1. A discharge hood 8-3 is provided at the bottom of the outer shell 1. The discharge hood 8-3 is located inside the enclosed part and is used to discharge material outward. The bottom of the discharge hood 8-3 is connected to a discharge pipe 8-4 and a second conveying auger 8-5. When the partition 8-1 moves, it can connect the discharge hood 8-3 with the inside of the outer shell 1 and enable the activated carbon to be discharged outward.

[0046] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, both ends of the bottom surface of the storage box 5 are inclined structural surfaces, and the pusher frame 6-8 are connected at an inclined angle.

[0047] In some examples, the inclined structural surface facilitates the concentration of activated carbon at the lower opening of the first conveyor belt, enabling better upward transport of activated carbon.

[0048] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the partition 8-1 is sealed and slidably fitted with the inner wall of the outer shell 1.

[0049] In some examples, the sealing effect prevents gas loss from affecting the drying effect.

[0050] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the sealing plate 6-6 matches the internal dimensions of the outer cover 6-3.

[0051] In some examples, by using a matching size structure, the sealing plate 6-6 completely seals the interior of the outer cover 6-3, thereby reducing heat loss.

[0052] In actual use: Waste activated carbon is placed in storage box 5, the first conveying auger 6-2 is started, and the waste activated carbon is conveyed from storage box 5 to outer cover 6-3 through conveying pipe 6-1. Telescopic cylinder 6-5 controls the sealing plate 6-6 to open, and the waste activated carbon falls into outer cover 1. Drive motor 4 is started to drive propeller blade 2 to rotate, and the waste activated carbon is stirred and dried. At the same time, exhaust pipe 7-1 of exhaust heat exchange component 7 discharges hot air from the outer cover 1 and the heat exchanger 7-2 recovers the residual heat. After drying, third cylinder 8-2 pushes partition 8-1 to connect discharge hood 8-3 with the inside of outer cover 1. Waste activated carbon falls into discharge hood 8-3 and second conveying auger 8-5 sends it out from discharge pipe 8-4. During this period, pusher 6-8 moves repeatedly under the drive of second cylinder 6-7 to break up the sticky waste activated carbon.

[0053] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this disclosure and are not intended to limit it. Although this disclosure has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this disclosure, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this disclosure.
