[0023] The present invention will be described more clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings, using a preferred embodiment.
[0024] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a cleaning device for a powder slurry spray drying equipment. The powder slurry spray drying equipment includes a drying tower 1, which is equipped with an atomizer 2. The cleaning device includes a lifting mechanism, a cleaning nozzle 3, and a water supply pipe. The water supply pipe is located inside the drying tower 1, and a cleaning nozzle 3 is installed at one end of the water supply pipe. The cleaning nozzle 3 is located between the atomizer 2 and the inner wall of the drying tower 1. The other end of the water supply pipe extends from the top of the drying tower 1 and is connected to the lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism is used to control the water supply pipe to move up and down along the height direction of the drying tower 1.
[0025] The cleaning nozzle 3 is a fan-shaped nozzle, with its nozzle orifice facing the top of the drying tower 1. The nozzle head of the cleaning nozzle 3 is configured to rotate under water pressure. The spray angle of the cleaning nozzle 3 ranges from 0° to 110°. The rotation speed of the cleaning nozzle head is adjusted by the water pressure, which is controlled between 0.2 MPa and 0.4 MPa. The water pressure can be adjusted by a water pump, i.e., water is pumped into the water supply pipe by the water pump. Figure 2As shown, the cleaning nozzle 3 has 3 nozzles, and each nozzle sprays water in a fan shape.
[0026] By setting the cleaning device, the drying tower 1 can be automatically cleaned by the cleaning nozzle 3, avoiding the problem of low cleaning efficiency and high labor intensity caused by manual cleaning. The lifting mechanism controls the lifting of the cleaning nozzle 3, and the cleaning nozzle 3 adopts a fan-shaped nozzle. The nozzle of the cleaning nozzle 3 is directed towards the top of the drying tower 1, and the nozzle of the cleaning nozzle 3 is arranged to rotate under the action of water pressure, which can clean the drying tower 1 more comprehensively, ensure more thorough cleaning, reduce the impact of material residues and attachments on equipment performance and product quality, and also avoid setting too many cleaning nozzles 3 in the drying tower 1, which reduces the use cost and avoids the impact of too many cleaning nozzles 3 on the use of the spray drying equipment.
[0027] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism includes a servo motor 7, a guide rail 5, a sliding block 6, and a lead screw 8. The guide rail 5 is installed on the outer cylinder wall of the drying tower 1, and the sliding block 6 is slidingly arranged on the guide rail 5. The water delivery pipe is fixedly connected to the sliding block 6 through a connecting piece 9. The sliding block 6 is provided with a screw hole threadedly matched with the lead screw 8. One end of the lead screw 8 is connected with the output shaft of the servo motor 7, and the other end of the lead screw 8 is arranged in the screw hole.
[0028] The servo motor 7 drives the lead screw 8 to rotate, so that the sliding block 6 moves up and down on the guide rail 5, thereby driving the water delivery pipe and the cleaning nozzle 3 to synchronously lift. Through pre-setting, the servo motor 7 can control the cleaning nozzle 3 to clean for 2-5 minutes at each fixed point position. The lifting height range of the cleaning nozzle 3 is determined according to the height of the drying tower 1 and the cleaning requirement, and generally should be able to cover the area from the top of the tower body to the bottom, so as to ensure effective cleaning of the entire tower inner surface.
[0029] In this embodiment, the water delivery pipe includes a first water pipe 4 and a second water pipe 10.

In this embodiment, there are 4 first water pipes 4, which can realize circumferential comprehensive cleaning of the inner wall of the drying tower 1.
[0031] The first water pipes 4 can be connected to the same second water pipe 10 or different second water pipes 10, and can be set according to actual requirements. Each second water pipe 10 can be controlled by one set of lifting mechanisms or by multiple sets of lifting mechanisms, and no specific limitation is made herein.
[0032] The utility model embodiment further provides a powder slurry spray drying equipment, powder slurry spray drying equipment includes the cleaning device as above.
[0033] As Figure 1 As shown in the drawings, the bottom of the drying tower 1 is a conical structure, and the bottom of the drying tower 1 includes a first discharge port 11 and a second discharge port 12, and the first discharge port 11 and the second discharge port 12 are respectively provided with a control valve 13, wherein the control valve 13 is a ball valve.
[0034] The first discharge port 11 and the second discharge port 12 are respectively connected to a material conveying pipeline and a cleaning sewage discharge pipeline during normal production. During equipment operation, the first discharge port 11 is opened, and the second discharge port 12 is closed; during equipment cleaning, the first discharge port 11 is closed and the second discharge port 12 is opened by the control system, so that the cleaning sewage can flow out smoothly for recycling.
