Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of powder drying equipment technology, and in particular to a hot air-assisted powder drying equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, most raw material powders used in the production of traditional two-component polyurethane adhesives in China require pre-treatment for drying and dehydration to achieve the required moisture content. However, the drying efficiency cannot keep up with the efficiency of the subsequent adhesive production, mainly due to the characteristics of the powder and the drying process. Existing powder drying and dehydration processes generally involve heating the powder in a drying mixing vessel until the target temperature is reached, then vacuuming to remove evaporated water vapor and supplementing with a small amount of low-temperature nitrogen to assist in the separation of powder and moisture. However, supplementing with low-temperature drying nitrogen lowers the powder temperature, thus affecting the drying efficiency. Therefore, this invention proposes a hot air-assisted powder drying device. Utility Model Content

[0030] This application provides an embodiment of a hot air-assisted powder drying device. Please refer to the following for details. Figure 1 .
[0031] The hot air-assisted powder drying device in this embodiment includes: a nitrogen source, a pipeline heater 2, an insulated gas storage tank 3, and a powder drying kettle 1. An exhaust filter 5 is installed on the powder drying kettle 1, and an annular nitrogen filling device 4 is installed at the bottom of the powder drying kettle 1. The nitrogen source is connected to the pipeline heater 2, the pipeline heater 2 is connected to the insulated gas storage tank 3, the insulated gas storage tank 3 is connected to the annular nitrogen filling device 4, and an electromagnetic pneumatic valve group 6 is installed at the nitrogen filling port of the annular nitrogen filling device 4.
[0032] It should be noted that this hot air-assisted powder drying device pre-treats the nitrogen gas to be filled into the powder drying kettle 1 by heating it. At the same time, an insulated gas storage tank 3 is placed after the pipeline heater 2 to store the heated nitrogen gas. Then, the nitrogen gas is replenished in a pulse manner through the electromagnetic pneumatic valve group 6 installed at the nitrogen filling port of the annular nitrogen filling device 4. By replenishing the heated nitrogen gas, the temperature inside the kettle can be maintained so that it does not drop due to the nitrogen replacement step in the powder drying process, thereby improving the drying efficiency and ensuring the supply of qualified dehydrated powder.
[0033] The above is Embodiment 1 of a hot air-assisted powder drying device provided in this application. The following is Embodiment 2 of a hot air-assisted powder drying device provided in this application. Please refer to the following for details. Figure 1 .
[0034] The hot air-assisted powder drying device in this embodiment includes: a nitrogen source, a pipeline heater 2, an insulated gas storage tank 3, and a powder drying kettle 1. An exhaust filter 5 is installed on the powder drying kettle 1, and an annular nitrogen filling device 4 is installed at the bottom of the powder drying kettle 1. The nitrogen source is connected to the pipeline heater 2, the pipeline heater 2 is connected to the insulated gas storage tank 3, and the insulated gas storage tank 3 is connected to the annular nitrogen filling device 4. An electromagnetic pneumatic valve assembly 6 is installed at the nitrogen filling port of the annular nitrogen filling device 4. Specifically, the volume of the insulated gas storage tank 3 can be 1 m³, and a certain amount of hot nitrogen can be stored in the 1 m³ insulated gas storage tank 3.
[0035] Understandably, this device uses pulsed nitrogen replenishment, which has the following advantages compared to the traditional continuous, weak nitrogen replenishment method: 1. In terms of improving nitrogen filling efficiency, pulsed nitrogen replenishment can release a large flow of nitrogen in a short time, quickly increasing the nitrogen concentration in the drying kettle, while continuous, weak replenishment takes longer to achieve the same concentration; 2. From the perspective of uniformity, pulsed nitrogen filling utilizes instantaneous airflow impact to make nitrogen diffuse more evenly in the drying kettle, while continuous, weak replenishment is prone to causing local concentration differences; 3. In terms of energy saving and consumption reduction, pulsed nitrogen filling can precisely control the filling time and amount according to process requirements, avoiding energy waste caused by continuous nitrogen filling; 4. Pulsed nitrogen filling can flexibly adjust parameters according to different powder characteristics and drying stages, while continuous nitrogen filling lacks flexibility.
[0036] The nitrogen source is connected to the pipeline heater 2 via pipe 7. Specifically, the nitrogen source is the existing nitrogen main pipe in the workshop; the pipeline heater 2 can be set with upper and lower limits for the heating temperature range.
[0037] The pipeline heater 2 is connected to the insulated gas storage tank 3 through the first pipeline 8, and the insulated gas storage tank 3 is connected to the annular nitrogen filling device 4 through the second pipeline 9.
[0038] The outer surfaces of the first pipe 8, the second pipe 9, and the insulated gas storage tank 3 are all provided with an insulation layer.
[0039] The insulated gas storage tank 3 is connected to the backflush port of the exhaust filter 5 through the third pipe 10; the backflush port of the exhaust filter 5 is equipped with a pulse solenoid valve for performing timed nitrogen pulse backflush into the powder drying kettle 1.
[0040] It should be noted that during the vacuum dehydration process, the exhaust filter 5 can be backflushed at regular intervals via a pulse solenoid valve to prevent powder from clinging to the filter element and affecting the air permeability.
[0041] The outer surface of the third pipe 10 is provided with an insulation layer. Specifically, the insulation layer can be made of rock wool, and the thickness of the insulation layer can be 30mm.
[0042] It should be noted that by insulating all equipment pipelines after nitrogen heating, excessive heat loss can be effectively prevented.
[0043] It also includes a control device, which is electrically connected to the pulse solenoid valve and the solenoid pneumatic valve group 6 respectively. Specifically, the control device can be a PLC, which uses a PLC program to interlock the timed start of the high vacuum dehydration process and the number of start-stop cycles for each start.
[0044] The electromagnetic pneumatic valve assembly 6 consists of a solenoid valve and a pneumatic valve. Specifically, the solenoid valve can be tightly connected to the pneumatic actuator of the pneumatic valve via a flange connection or a threaded connection to ensure efficient signal transmission and action execution. When the electromagnetic control part of the solenoid valve receives an external signal, it drives the pneumatic actuator of the pneumatic valve to achieve precise control of the nitrogen filling port.
[0045] In practice, nitrogen from the nitrogen source enters the pipeline heater 2 through the inlet pipe 7 for heating, and then enters the insulated gas storage tank 3 through the first pipeline 8 for temporary storage and buffering. The entire high-temperature dehydration process requires the use of the annular nitrogen filling device 4 at the bottom of the powder drying kettle 1 to assist in heating the kettle body. The water vapor evaporated is drawn away by the vacuum source through the exhaust filter 5. By supplementing the heated nitrogen, the temperature inside the kettle body can be kept from decreasing due to the nitrogen replacement step in the powder drying process, thereby improving the drying efficiency and ensuring the supply of qualified dehydrated powder. In addition, the long-term vacuum negative pressure will carry a small amount of powder to adhere to the filter element of the exhaust filter 5. Therefore, it is necessary to close the vacuum pneumatic valve at regular intervals and then use the pulse solenoid valve to backflush several times to clean the powder adhering to the filter element.
[0046] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
