[0030] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. This drawing is a simplified schematic diagram, illustrating only the basic aspects of the present utility model, and therefore only shows the components relevant to the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0031] Example 1, please refer to Figures 1-3A fluidized bed spray dryer capable of repeated granulation includes a drying tower 1, a secondary granulation component 2 disposed at the top of the drying tower 1, a secondary filtration component 3 connected to the drying tower 1, and an exhaust component 4 connected to the secondary filtration component 3. The exhaust component 4 generates airflow, which causes the airflow in the drying tower 1 to pass through the secondary filtration component 3 for filtration, and finally circulates back into the drying tower 1 through the exhaust component 4, thereby forming a fluidized airflow in the drying tower 1. Granulation is completed by the contact between the material and hot air under the fluidized airflow. During the granulation process, the secondary granulation component 2 directly shakes smaller particles to the drying tower 1 for secondary granulation, simplifying the secondary granulation process.
[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-4 The drying tower 1 contains a hopper 11, a drying chamber 12, and a fluidization chamber 13. The drying chamber 12 is located on top of the hopper 11, and the fluidization chamber 13 is located on top of the drying chamber 12. A heating pipe 14 is connected to one side of the hopper 11, and the other end of the heating pipe 14 is connected to a device that generates hot air. The heating pipe 14 is used to transport hot air into the drying tower 1 to dry the material. A spray pipe 15 is connected inside the drying chamber 12. The spray pipe 15 is located at the bottom of the secondary granulation component 2, and an atomizing head 151 is provided at the end of the spray pipe 15. The material can be transported to the drying chamber 12 through the spray pipe 15 and finally atomized and dispersed into the drying chamber 12 by the atomizing head 151.
[0033] Please refer to Figures 2-6 The secondary granulation component 2 includes an adjustment mechanism 22 installed at the top of the drying tower 1 and a filter mechanism 21 disposed inside the fluidization chamber 13. The filter mechanism 21 is used for vibration adjustment mechanism 22. The filter mechanism 21 includes a filter plate 211 for separating the drying chamber 12 and the fluidization chamber 13. The filter plate 211 is connected to the inner wall of the drying tower 1 to prevent material in the drying chamber 12 from directly entering the fluidization chamber 13. The filter plate 211 has several filter holes 212, and filter bags 213 are correspondingly disposed at the top of the filter holes 212 and connected to them. Several filter bags 213 are symmetrically arranged about the drying tower 1, and each filter bag 213 is connected to an adjustment mechanism 22 at its top. The airflow and material particles in the drying chamber 12 can enter the filter bags 213 under fluidization, and the material particles and gas are separated by filtration through the filter bags 213.
[0034] Please refer to Figures 2-6The adjusting mechanism 22 includes a semi-circular connecting plate 224 connected to the filter bag 213, with two connecting plates 224 symmetrically arranged. A telescopic rod 222 is provided at the top of the connecting plate 224, and guide rails 223 are symmetrically arranged on both sides. An adjusting cylinder 221 is connected to the top of the telescopic rod 222, which is installed at the top of the drying tower 1. The telescopic rod 222 passes through the drying tower 1. The extension and retraction of the adjusting cylinder 221 synchronously drives the telescopic rod 222 to move vertically. During the movement of the telescopic rod 222, the connecting plate 224 and the guide rails 223 connected to the connecting plate 224 also move vertically. The vertical movement of the connecting plate 224 causes the filter bag 213 at its bottom to vibrate, thereby shaking smaller material particles inside the filter bag 213 into the drying chamber 12, allowing these smaller particles to re-contact with the hot air under fluidization for secondary granulation.
[0035] Please refer to Figures 1-2 The secondary filtration assembly 3 includes a filter box 31, a collection chamber 32 located at the bottom of the filter box 31, and a connecting pipe 33 connected to the drying tower 1. After the airflow in the drying chamber 12 is separated by the filter bag 213, it continues to enter the filter box 31 along the connecting pipe 33 for filtration. The incompletely separated material can enter the collection chamber 32 for easy collection.
[0036] Please refer to Figures 1-2 The exhaust assembly 4 includes a fan 41, an exhaust pipe 43 connected to the fan 41, and an inlet pipe 42 connected to the filter box 31. The inlet pipe 42 is connected to the fan 41. When the fan 41 operates, the airflow in the filter box 31 passes through the inlet pipe 42 into the fan 41, and then enters the exhaust pipe 43 for discharge. The gas undergoes fluidization as it flows along the drying chamber 12, filter bag 213, fluidization chamber 13, connecting pipe 33, filter box 31, inlet pipe 42, fan 41, and exhaust pipe 43.
[0037] Specifically, hot air enters the silo 11 through the heating pipe 14, and the material is transported to the drying chamber 12 through the spray pipe 15. Finally, it is atomized by the atomizing head 151 and dispersed into the interior of the drying chamber 12. The operation of the fan 41 causes the gas in the drying chamber 12 to be filtered by the filter bag 213, and then continues to enter the filter box 31 for secondary filtration along the connecting pipe 33. After secondary filtration, it enters the fan 41 along the air inlet pipe 42, and then enters the exhaust pipe 43 for discharge. The gas undergoes fluidization as it flows along the drying chamber 12, filter bag 213, fluidization chamber 13, connecting pipe 33, filter box 31, air inlet pipe 42, fan 41, and exhaust pipe 43. The hot air and the material come into contact under the fluidization effect, accelerating the evaporation of moisture and forming dry particles.
[0038] During the drying process, the regulating cylinder 221 extends and retracts, causing the telescopic rod 222 to move vertically. Simultaneously, the telescopic rod 222 moves, causing the connecting plate 224 to move as well. The vertical movement of the connecting plate 224 causes the filter bag 213 at its bottom to vibrate, thereby shaking smaller material particles inside the filter bag 213 into the drying chamber 12.
[0039] During the fluidized drying process, two vibration adjustment mechanisms 22 drive the filter mechanism 21 inside the fluidized chamber 13 to vibrate, shaking smaller material particles into the drying chamber 12. Under the action of fluidization, they come into contact with hot air and undergo secondary granulation, thereby simplifying the secondary granulation process.
