TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to drying device field, especially relate to molecular sieve dehydration material drying device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Molecular sieve dehydration material drying device is a kind of equipment using the adsorption characteristics of molecular sieve material, removes the moisture in material, to achieve the purpose of drying, molecular sieve is a kind of crystalline silicate with uniform microporous structure, its pore size is uniform, can selectively adsorb the substance with pore size matched with molecular size, is mainly used for adsorbing water molecules in material in the device.
[0003] The existing molecular sieve dehydration material drying device mostly adopts direct filtration drying in drying mode, this mode has some limitations in practical application, since it mainly relies on the direct contact filtration of material and molecular sieve to realize dehydration, when material passes through molecular sieve layer, the mass transfer path is relatively single and limited, so that the rate of water molecules migrating from material to molecular sieve surface and being adsorbed is difficult to be significantly improved, in large-scale industrial production or in the scene with higher requirement for drying efficiency, production efficiency will be seriously affected.
[0004] Therefore, in view of the above problems that the existing molecular sieve drying device mostly adopts direct filtration drying, relies on the direct contact of material and molecular sieve, the mass transfer path is single and limited, the migration and adsorption rate of water molecules is difficult to increase, and in large-scale production or high drying efficiency requirement scene, production efficiency is seriously affected, a molecular sieve dehydration material drying device can be designed, in the drying process, the packed bed slowly rotates at a certain speed, the material enters from the tangent direction of one side of the packed bed, under the joint action of centrifugal force and airflow, presents spiral shape and passes through molecular sieve layer, this dynamic rotating mode increases the contact opportunity and contact area of material and molecular sieve, thereby improving drying efficiency. SUMMARY
[0005] In order to overcome the problem that the existing molecular sieve drying device mostly adopts direct filtration drying, relies on the direct contact of material and molecular sieve, the mass transfer path is single and limited, the migration and adsorption rate of water molecules is difficult to increase, and in large-scale production or high drying efficiency requirement scene, production efficiency is seriously affected.
[0006] The utility model discloses a technical scheme for a molecular sieve dehydration material drying device, which comprises a drying box, a heat exchange box, a regeneration box, a gas storage tank and a regeneration assembly.
[0007] Preferably, the material is fed into the drying box, and the heating plate in the drying box heats the material to increase the temperature of the material, so that the water molecules in the material are more easily adsorbed by the molecular sieve. At the same time, the rotating shaft drives the packed bed to rotate slowly, and the molecular sieve in the packed bed is in full contact with the material during the rotation. Since the molecular sieve has a porous structure and has strong adsorption of water molecules, the water molecules in the material are adsorbed into the micropores of the molecular sieve when they come into contact with the molecular sieve, thereby realizing the drying of the material. The dried material is discharged from the discharge port of the drying box. When the molecular sieve adsorbs water to saturation, it enters the regeneration stage. At this time, the heat exchange box starts to work, and the waste heat of the humid hot air discharged during the drying process is used to preheat the molecular sieve to be regenerated. The flow channel in the heat exchange box is designed to enable the hot carrier to perform countercurrent heat exchange with the cold molecular sieve, so that the temperature of the molecular sieve is increased and the moisture capacity is decreased, thereby preparing for the subsequent regeneration. The preheated molecular sieve enters the regeneration box, and the regeneration assembly is started. The gas storage tank provides inert gas to the regeneration assembly. The regeneration assembly blows the inert gas against the molecular sieve. Under the combined action of heating and blowing, the water molecules originally adsorbed in the micropores of the molecular sieve obtain enough energy to overcome the adsorption force and separate from the surface of the molecular sieve, and are carried out of the regeneration box by the inert gas, thereby realizing the regeneration of the molecular sieve. The regenerated molecular sieve can be reused in the drying process in the drying box, ensuring the continuous and efficient operation of the device.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment, a rotating motor is installed on the other end of the rotating shaft above the base. Two sets of first connection pipes are symmetrically installed outside the packed bed, and a molecular sieve inlet pipe is installed at the center of the two sets of first connection pipes. An inlet cover is installed at the top of the drying box, and an inlet handle is installed at the top of the inlet cover.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment, a power supply is installed above the rotating motor at the bottom end of the base. Four sets of first support columns are annularly installed at the bottom end of the base. The rotating motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate the packed bed. The power supply is electrically connected to the heating plate. A second connection pipe is symmetrically connected to one side of the heating plate. An outlet pipe is connected to the outside of the drying box, and an electronic valve is installed inside the outlet pipe.
[0010] As preferred, the heat exchange box is communicated with the secondary regeneration pipe at one end, communicated with the primary regeneration pipe at the other end, communicated with the primary exhaust pipe at the top end close to the secondary regeneration pipe, communicated with the secondary exhaust pipe outside close to the primary regeneration pipe, and symmetrically installed with the secondary support column at the bottom end.
[0011] As preferred, a plurality of groups of mounting holes are linearly arranged outside the regeneration box, a regeneration cover plate is installed at one end of the regeneration box, a regeneration cover handle is installed at one side of the regeneration cover plate, and two groups of tertiary support columns are symmetrically installed at the bottom end of the regeneration box.
[0012] As preferred, four groups of quaternary support columns are annularly installed at the bottom end of the gas storage box, a gas inlet pipe is communicated with one side of the gas storage box, a pipe plug is installed on the gas inlet pipe, and a primary gas injection pipe is communicated with the other side of the gas storage box.
[0013] As preferred, the regeneration assembly comprises an air compressor, the air compressor is communicated with a secondary gas injection pipe at the top end, the secondary gas injection pipe is communicated with a tertiary gas injection pipe at one end, the tertiary gas injection pipe is linearly communicated with four groups of air injection pipes at the bottom end, and two groups of quinary support columns are symmetrically installed at the bottom end of the air compressor.
[0014] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: the rotating motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate the packed bed, which breaks the relative static state of the material and the molecular sieve, and in the rotating process, the molecular sieve continuously updates the contact interface with the material, so that the water molecules in the material have more opportunities to contact and be adsorbed by the molecular sieve, significantly improving the drying speed, and the embedded heating plate in the drying box can provide stable and uniform heat, so that the material is evenly heated, avoiding local overheating or insufficient drying, compared with the traditional direct heating of the material and the molecular sieve, this indirect heating method can more accurately control the temperature and reduce energy waste.
