Detailed Implementation

[0027] Example 1: As Figures 1 to 3 The illustrated self-cleaning filter system 1 includes a filter 12 disposed at the equipment vent 11, with the filter 12 having an air inlet side and an air outlet side on its two sides. In this embodiment, the equipment is a heat exchanger 2 in a paper machine hot air system. Fresh air enters the heat exchanger 2 from the air inlet side, and after heating, it dries components such as the drying cylinder and protective cover. The fresh air may contain dust or fine particles, which can accumulate on the filter 12, affecting its ventilation capacity. Therefore, the filter 12 needs to be cleaned regularly.

[0028] The filter screen self-cleaning system 1 comprises a wind pressure monitoring unit 13, a cleaning unit 14, a moving unit 15 and a central control unit 16. The wind pressure monitoring unit 13 is used for monitoring the wind pressure on the air inlet side and the air outlet side, judging the accumulation state of dust on the filter screen 12 according to the pressure difference between the air inlet side and the air outlet side, and controlling the cleaning time. The cleaning unit 14 is used for cleaning the surface of the filter screen 12. The moving unit 15 controls the filter screen 12 to move to the cleaning area, avoids the obstruction of the ventilation opening 11 during the cleaning process, ensures the overall cleaning process, and prevents the dust from falling into the heat exchanger 2. The wind pressure monitoring unit 13, the cleaning unit 14 and the moving unit 15 are connected to the central control unit 16. The cleaning unit 14 and the moving unit 15 comprise executable elements, which can control the cleaning unit 14 and the moving unit 15 to start according to the pressure information fed back by the wind pressure monitoring unit 13.

[0029] Specifically, the wind pressure monitoring unit 13 comprises pressure sensors 131 arranged on the air inlet side and the air outlet side respectively. Each pressure sensor 131 can be matched with a pressure gauge to directly display the real-time wind pressure on both sides of the filter screen 12. The air inlet side pressure sensor 131 can monitor the initial pressure before the fresh air enters the filter screen 12, reflecting the wind power of the fresh air. The air outlet side pressure sensor 131 is used for monitoring the pressure after the fresh air enters the filter screen 12. The pressure difference p1 obtained by subtracting the air outlet side pressure from the air inlet side pressure can reflect the wind resistance of the filter screen 12, so as to judge the real-time blockage state of the filter screen 12.

[0030] Each pressure sensor 131 is connected to the central control unit 16, and the detected pressure information is fed back to the central control unit 16. The central control unit 16 calculates the detection pressure difference p1 in real time. The central control unit 16 is pre-set with a pressure difference information p2. The preset pressure difference p2 is set according to the actual working condition requirement. The detection pressure difference p1 is compared with the preset pressure difference p2. If p2≤p1, it indicates that the wind resistance of the filter screen 12 is large, and the fresh air cannot be stably supplied to the heat exchanger 2. At this time, the cleaning unit 14 and the moving unit 15 are controlled to start, and the filter screen 12 is cleaned.

[0031] In this embodiment, the cleaning unit 14 is mainly a blowing module, which includes a plurality of nozzles 141 located between the air vent 11 and the filter screen 12. The plurality of nozzles 141 are connected to the left and right sides of the air vent 11 through two air tubes 142, i.e., the cleaning area of the filter screen 12 is located on both sides of the air vent 11. Each air tube 142 is connected to a high-pressure gas source, and a first electromagnetic valve 143 is arranged on the air tube 142. The first electromagnetic valve 143 is connected to the central control unit 16 and controls the airflow to be sprayed from the nozzles 141 according to the instruction of the central control unit 16 to clean the dust on the filter screen 12. It should be noted that the position of the air tube 142 is not limited to the left and right sides of the air vent 11, and the position of each nozzle 141 can be adjusted according to the actual cleaning requirements. As shown in FIG. 2, each nozzle 141 is arranged along the extension direction of the air tube 142, and the distance between the nozzle 141 and the filter screen 12 is set according to the size of the gas source pressure to achieve sufficient cleaning. The distance between adjacent nozzles 141 is set according to the spraying range of the nozzle 141, and the overlapping cleaning area of the two nozzles 141 on the filter screen 12 is preferably not less than half of the cleaning area of a single nozzle 141, so that each part of the filter screen 12 can be fully cleaned, and the generation of a cleaning dead angle is avoided. Figure 2

[0032] In addition, the cleaning unit 14 can be replaced with other dust removal modes, which only need to include a cleaning element for cleaning the surface of the filter screen 12, and the cleaning element can be started according to the instruction of the central control unit 16. For example, a plurality of electric brushes are arranged to vibrate and remove dust from the surface of the filter screen 12; or a water pipe connected to a water source is arranged to flush the surface of the filter screen 12 with water flow or medicament; and other common vibration and flushing dust removal modes.

[0033] The moving unit 15 includes two sliding rails 151 arranged in the moving direction of the filter screen 12, corresponding to the arrangement direction of the nozzles 141. The sliding rails 151 extend in the horizontal direction, and the filter screen 12 is slidingly connected in the sliding rails 151. The cleaning areas of the two groups of nozzles 141 cover the filter screen 12 in the height direction, and in the process of moving the filter screen 12 along the sliding rails 151, the airflow sprayed from the nozzles 141 passes through the mesh holes of the filter screen 12 to dynamically clean the entire area of the filter screen 12. Further, the moving unit 15 includes a frame 152 connected to the outer side of the air vent 11. The frame 152 has a U-shaped cross section, the filter screen 12 is accommodated in the inner side of the frame 152, and the two horizontal edges of the frame 152 are in sliding contact with the two long edges of the filter screen 12, respectively, so as to limit the relative position of the filter screen 12 and the filter screen 12.

[0034] ​In the embodiment, the length of the filter screen 12 is set to be not less than twice the length of the air vent 11, and includes a first part 121 and a second part 122 along the moving direction of the filter screen 12. In normal state, the first part 121 is opposite to the outer side of the air vent 11, and during cleaning, the first part 121 is moved to a cleaning position along the slide rail 151, and the second part 122 is opposite to the outer side of the air vent 11; after the first part 121 is cleaned, it is returned to the air vent 11. During the cleaning process of the filter screen 12, the outer side of the air vent 11 is always covered by the filter screen 12, so that dust carried by fresh air is prevented from entering the air vent 11 when the filter screen 12 is cleaned; similarly, the first part 121 and the second part 122 can also be arranged in a structure for mutual backup, and after the first part 121 is cleaned, it is not immediately returned to work, and when the second part 122 has excessive dust, the filter screen 12 is controlled to move, and the second part 122 is cleaned, so that the cleaning of the filter area is rotated.

[0035] As shown in Figure 3 , the driving member of the filter screen 12 is a cylinder 153 arranged at the bottom of the filter screen 12, the output end of the cylinder 153 is connected to one side of the width of the filter screen 12, and a second electromagnetic valve 154 is arranged on the pipeline connected with the air source of the cylinder 153, the second electromagnetic valve 154 is opened according to the information of the central control unit 16, and the stroke of the cylinder 153 is controlled.

[0036] Further, a limiting part 155 is arranged in the stroke of the filter screen 12, and the filter screen 12 is blocked by the limiting part 155 when it moves to the target stroke position, so that the filter screen 12 is prevented from continuing to move. The limiting part 155 can be arranged on the external pipeline, and a corresponding pin or stopper is arranged on the edge of the filter screen 12.

[0037] Further, the driving member of the filter screen 12 is not limited to the direct driving element such as the cylinder 153, but can also be a lead screw structure driven to rotate by a motor, the lead screw and the motor are fixedly connected to the frame 152, and the filter screen 12 is drivingly connected to the lead screw.

[0038] In the embodiment, the central control unit 16 adopts a DCS control system, global management is realized by a central control room, and the air pressure monitoring unit 13, the cleaning unit 14 and the moving unit 15 are regulated and controlled by multiple decentralized units. The central control unit 16 also includes an operation interface to display the differential pressure information of the air pressure monitoring unit 13, the state information of the cleaning unit 14 and the moving unit 15, and can remotely adjust the valve opening degree, start and stop the equipment, etc.

The humidity of the gas in the dry end circulation pipeline 4 is low, the dry end circulation pipeline 4 has a dry end air inlet section 43 and a dry end air outlet section 44 connected to the dried object 3, and the hot gas flow is circulated in the dry end circulation pipeline 4 by the dry end air blower 42. The dry end air outlet section 44 is connected to the wet end air bellow 51 of the wet end circulation pipeline 5 through a second pipeline 7, and the moisture of the dried gas enters the wet end circulation pipeline 5.

[0041] Compared with the dry end circulation pipeline 4, the humidity of the gas in the wet end circulation pipeline 5 is higher, the wet end circulation pipeline 5 is internally provided with a wet end air blower 52, including a wet end air inlet section 53 and a wet end air outlet section 54, for circulating the gas flow and maintaining the air pressure balance in the pipeline. The wet end circulation pipeline 5 is connected to the heat exchanger 2 through a third pipeline 8, part of the moisture is discharged to the outside through a fourth pipeline of the heat exchanger 2, part of the moisture is dried by heat exchange in the heat exchanger 2, and then is transmitted to the dry end circulation pipeline 4 through the first pipeline 6, and dries the dried object 3 together with the fresh air, which plays a role of balancing the air pressure and recycling the energy.

[0042] It should be noted that the filter screen self-cleaning system 1 provided in the embodiment 1 is not limited to the fresh air inlet of the heat exchanger 2, and can also be arranged at the air inlets of the dry end air bellow 41 and the wet end air bellow 51 to filter the dried moisture.
