Detailed Implementation
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides an automated acid washing equipment for high-purity quartz sand, including: a reaction vessel 1; a pneumatic exhaust valve 3, a pneumatic liquid supply and discharge valve 6, and a rotating shaft 8 respectively installed on the reaction vessel 1, the rotating shaft 8 being rotatably mounted on a base 14 and having a hollow structure; and a pneumatic drive mechanism, a liquid supply and discharge device, and a multi-channel rotary joint 9, the multi-channel rotary joint 9 being installed at the end of the rotating shaft 8; the air inlet and outlet of the pneumatic exhaust valve 3, the air inlet and outlet of the pneumatic liquid supply and discharge valve 6, and the liquid inlet and outlet of the pneumatic liquid supply and discharge valve 6 are respectively connected to one side of the multi-channel rotary joint 9 through corresponding pipelines passing through the rotating shaft 8, and the pneumatic drive mechanism and the liquid supply and discharge device are respectively connected to the other side of the multi-channel rotary joint 9.
[0026] The pneumatic drive mechanism controls the opening and closing of the pneumatic exhaust valve 3 via compressed air to achieve air intake or exhaust from the reactor. The pneumatic drive mechanism also controls the opening and closing of the pneumatic supply / discharge valve 6 via compressed air to achieve liquid supply or discharge from the reactor. The control of the pneumatic exhaust valve 3 and the pneumatic supply / discharge valve 6 by the pneumatic drive mechanism can be independent of each other. The pneumatic drive mechanism can be a prior art pneumatic drive mechanism, and therefore will not be described in detail in this application.
[0027] Specifically, the pipeline passing through the rotating shaft 8 includes a supply and discharge pipeline 7 that connects the inlet and outlet of the pneumatic supply and discharge valve 6 to the main channel of the multi-channel rotary joint 9.
[0028] Specifically, the multi-channel rotary joint 9 is a five-way rotary joint, including a main channel and four compressed air channels. Any two of the main channel and four compressed air channels are independent of each other. The main channel connects to the inlet and outlet of the pneumatic supply / discharge valve 6. The inlet and outlet of the pneumatic exhaust valve 3, as well as the inlet and outlet of the pneumatic supply / discharge valve 6, are connected to the four compressed air channels in a one-to-one correspondence, used to control the opening and closing of the pneumatic exhaust valve 3 and the pneumatic supply / discharge valve 6. The inner wall of the main channel in the multi-channel rotary joint 9 is made of PTFE or PAF material, which is resistant to acid and alkali corrosion.
[0029] Specifically, see Figure 1 The rotating shaft 8 is set horizontally.
[0030] Specifically, see Figure 1 The pneumatic exhaust valve 3 and the pneumatic liquid supply and discharge valve 6 are respectively installed at opposite ends of the reactor 1 along the height direction.
[0031] Specifically, see Figure 1 The rotating shaft 8 is connected to the middle of the outer wall of one side of the reactor 1.
[0032] Specifically, see Figure 1 A filter device 4 is also installed at the connection between the pneumatic supply and discharge valve 6 and the reactor 1.
[0033] Optionally, see Figure 1 The filtration device 4 includes a filter plate and a filter cloth covering the filter plate. The filter plate is made of steel-lined PEFE, steel PFA, or high-strength engineering plastic resistant to strong acid and alkali corrosion; the filter cloth is made of PTFE or PPS.
[0034] More specifically, see Figure 1 The reactor 1 has an inlet and outlet, and an upper cover 2 is installed at the inlet and outlet. A pneumatic exhaust valve 3 is installed on the upper cover 2.
[0035] More specifically, see Figure 1 The reactor 1 has an inlet and outlet, and a lower cover 5 is installed at the inlet and outlet. A pneumatic supply and discharge valve 6 is installed on the lower cover 5.
[0036] Further, see Figure 1 In order to better support the reactor 1, the device also includes a secondary rotating shaft 13, which is coaxially arranged with the rotating shaft 8 and located on both sides of the reactor 1.
[0037] Specifically, the liquid supply and drainage device includes a liquid supply pump 12, a vacuum balancing tank 10, a vacuum pump 11, and a controller. The suction port of the vacuum pump 11 is connected to the outlet of the vacuum balancing tank 10, and the main channel of the multi-channel rotary joint 9 is selectively connected between the inlet of the vacuum balancing tank 10 and the outlet of the liquid supply pump 12. The liquid supply pump 12 and the vacuum pump 11 are electrically connected to the controller, which can be a PLC controller. The inlet of the liquid supply pump 12 is connected to a liquid supply container containing water. The lower end of the vacuum balancing tank 10 is provided with a gravity flow port, which is connected to a waste liquid collection tank through a pipeline. Neither the waste liquid collection tank nor the liquid supply container is shown in the figure.
[0038] When the main channel of the multi-channel rotary joint 9 is connected to the inlet of the vacuum balance tank 10, the vacuum pump 11 draws a vacuum, drawing the liquid inside the reactor 1 into the vacuum balance tank 10, and then discharging it to the waste liquid collection tank through the vacuum balance tank 10, thereby realizing the automatic discharge of the reactor; when the main channel of the multi-channel rotary joint 9 is connected to the outlet of the liquid supply pump 12, the liquid supply pump 12 realizes the automatic feeding of water from the liquid supply container into the reactor.
[0039] More specifically, the main channel of the multi-channel rotary joint 9 is connected to the inlet of the vacuum balance tank 10 via a first solenoid valve 15, and to the outlet of the liquid supply pump 12 via a second solenoid valve 16. The first solenoid valve 15 and the second solenoid valve 16 are electrically connected to a controller. The controller controls the opening and closing of the first solenoid valve 15 and the second solenoid valve 16 to switch the main channel of the multi-channel rotary joint 9 between the inlet of the vacuum balance tank 10 and the outlet of the liquid supply pump 12.
[0040] The working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0041] First, open the top cover 2 and fill it with quartz sand. Then, inject a strong acid or strong alkali solution into the reactor 1.
[0042] Then, the top cover 2 is closed, and the control program in the PLC controller is started to begin production. After the chemical reaction of the materials has ended, the PLC controller controls the pneumatic exhaust valve 3 and the pneumatic supply and discharge valve 6 to open, and the vacuum pump 11 starts working to drain the rotary reactor 1. After the drainage is completed, the supply pump 12 supplies liquid to the reactor. After the supply is completed, the PLC controller controls the closing of the pneumatic exhaust valve 3 and the pneumatic supply and discharge valve 6 to initiate a secondary reaction. After repeating the above drainage and supply operations multiple times, the quartz sand pickling and cleaning work is completed.
[0043] Finally, vacuum pump 11 is turned on to vacuum dry the reaction vessel 1. After the material is dried, the top cover 2 is opened to release the material, which is then packaged and stored.
