[0013] Optionally, the material extraction pipe has an overall U-shaped structure, with one end inserted into the negative pressure pipe and the other end connected to the vent pipe; along the axis of the material extraction pipe, material extraction holes are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the material extraction pipe, and each material extraction hole is covered by the material in the temporary storage box.
[0014] Optionally, the material extraction pipe is also provided with several adjusting sleeves, each of which is coaxial with each of the material extraction holes, and some of the adjusting sleeves are threadedly connected to a sealing block.
[0015] Optionally, the heating module includes an induction coil wound around the outer surface of the decarburization tube.

Along the length of the box, one end of the box is provided with a feed pipe connected to the decarbonization pipe, and the other end is provided with an exhaust pipe.

[0019] Optionally, along the length of the box, a plurality of insertion slots are sequentially arranged inside the box, and a sealing block is provided on the edge of the separation net, with each sealing block inserted into the insertion slot; the sealing cover is tightly fitted with the sealing block on the top of the separation net.
[0020] Optionally, along the length of the box body, a plurality of discharge pipes are provided at the bottom of the box body, and a conical material collection hood is also provided at the bottom of the box body, with each material collection hood connected to each of the discharge pipes.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] This application includes a frame, on which a temporary storage tank and a negative pressure pipe are mounted. The inlet end of the negative pressure pipe is connected to a jet pipe, which is used to input a high-speed airflow into the negative pressure pipe to create a suction negative pressure within the pipe. A suction pipe is also mounted on the negative pressure pipe, with its inlet end connected to the temporary storage tank. A vent pipe for connecting to the atmosphere is also mounted on the top of the temporary storage tank. A decarbonization pipe is also mounted at the outlet end of the negative pressure pipe, and a heating module is mounted on the decarbonization pipe. A settling device is mounted at the outlet end of the decarbonization pipe. A controller is also mounted on the frame and is electrically connected to the heating module.
[0023] In operation, an external high-pressure air source enters the negative pressure pipe through a jet pipe. Based on the Venturi effect, when the high-speed airflow passes through, it creates a negative pressure for material extraction within the negative pressure pipe. This allows the material in the temporary storage tank to be extracted through the extraction pipe and enter the decarbonization pipe through the outlet of the negative pressure pipe. Simultaneously, the vent pipe ensures stable air pressure within the temporary storage tank. Inside the decarbonization pipe, a heating device raises the temperature to 300-500°C. As the mixture of airflow and material passes through the decarbonization pipe, the carbon powder is burned at high temperature and ultimately converted into carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide. Finally, the burned material enters the settling tank. After gas-solid separation, the gas is directly discharged into the atmosphere, and the precipitated dust consists only of decarbonized potassium salts.
[0024] Compared with the prior art, this application uses high-speed airflow to adsorb potassium salts, which not only improves the potassium salt transport efficiency but also prevents potassium salt from clumping. Combined with subsequent heating, it can ensure that the dispersed carbon powder can be fully burned at high temperature, thereby effectively improving the carbon powder combustion efficiency and carbon removal effect.
[0025] Secondly, the airflow can prevent potassium salts from caking during calcination by its own impact force during material transport, which is beneficial for subsequent dissolution.
[0026] Finally, this application can reduce the toner content in a single process, which not only has high carbon removal efficiency, but also reduces equipment energy consumption and operating costs. Attached Figure Description

[0038] Implementation Method 1
[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment, as an optional embodiment of this application, discloses a potassium salt decarbonization device, including a frame 1, on which a temporary storage tank 2 is provided; the top of the temporary storage tank 2 is provided with a feeding port and a vent pipe 6;
[0040] The frame 1 is also equipped with a negative pressure pipe 3. The negative pressure pipe 3 has a conical structure, with the large end being the air inlet and the small end being the air outlet. A jet pipe 4 is also installed inside the negative pressure pipe 3. The inlet end of the jet pipe 4 is connected to an external high-pressure air source, and its outlet end is located inside the negative pressure pipe 3, with the outlet end of the jet pipe 4 facing the outlet end of the negative pressure pipe 3.
[0041] A material extraction pipe 5 is also provided on the negative pressure pipe 3. The inlet end of the material extraction pipe 5 is connected to the temporary storage tank 2, and the inlet end of the material extraction pipe 5 is inserted into the bottom of the temporary storage tank 2 to ensure that more raw materials can be extracted. Its outlet end is directly opposite the outlet end of the negative pressure pipe 3.
[0042] Based on the Venturi principle, when a high-speed airflow passes through the conical negative pressure pipe 3, a negative pressure will be formed inside the negative pressure pipe 3. Since the temporary storage tank 2 is connected to the atmosphere, there will be a certain pressure difference between the negative pressure pipe 3 and the temporary storage tank 2. The material in the temporary storage tank 2 will be extracted through the adsorption effect of the pressure difference and sprayed to the outlet end of the negative pressure pipe 3 through the extraction pipe 5. During the spraying process, the material will be fully stirred and mixed with the air.
[0043] Furthermore, the material extraction pipe 5 is arranged in a U-shape. One end of the material extraction pipe 5 is inserted into the negative pressure pipe 3, and the other end is connected to the vent pipe 6. Along the axis of the material extraction pipe 5, material extraction holes 10 are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the material extraction pipe 5, and each material extraction hole 10 is covered by the material in the temporary storage box.
[0044] That is, each of the extraction holes 10 is located at a different height in the temporary storage tank 2, thereby ensuring that all the material in the temporary storage tank 2 is extracted; on the other hand, the setting of multiple extraction holes 10 can effectively improve the material conveying efficiency.
[0045] Furthermore, a plurality of adjusting sleeves 11 are provided on the material extraction pipe 5, each of the adjusting sleeves 11 being coaxial with each of the material extraction holes 10, and some of the adjusting sleeves 11 are threadedly connected to a sealing block 12.
[0046] In use, depending on the actual situation, select to block part of the material extraction hole 10, thereby controlling the on / off state of each material extraction hole 10 to further control the material conveying efficiency. It is simple and convenient to operate.
[0047] The decarbonization device also includes a decarbonization tube 7 and a settling device 8. The decarbonization tube 7 is also provided with a heating module, which includes an induction coil 13, preferably a medium-frequency induction coil 13, which is spirally wound around the surface of the decarbonization tube 7.
[0048] A plurality of metal heating rods 14 are provided inside the decarbonization tube 7, wherein the metal heating rods 14 are preferably iron rods. The metal heating rods 14 are arranged side by side along the radial direction of the decarbonization tube 7, and the metal heating rods 14 are parallel to the axis of the decarbonization tube 7. Support frames 15 are provided at both ends of the decarbonization tube 7 along the axis of the decarbonization tube 7, and the two ends of each metal heating rod 14 are respectively connected to the support frames 15 on the same side.
[0049] Furthermore, a temperature sensor 16 is also provided inside the decarbonization tube 7, and the decarbonization device also includes a controller 9, which includes an industrial computer and a PLC that are electrically connected. The temperature sensor 16 is electrically connected to the PLC. The induction coil 13 is connected to external mains power through a medium frequency power supply 17. The medium frequency power supply 17 is electrically connected to the PLC.
[0050] By setting multiple metal heating rods 14, the uniformity of temperature distribution inside the decarbonization tube 7 can be effectively improved, ensuring that carbon powder in different areas can be burned, thereby improving the decarbonization effect. At the same time, the above device can also conveniently and flexibly adjust the temperature inside the decarbonization tube 7, ensuring the accuracy of temperature control.
[0051] The settling device 8 includes a box body 801 and a sealing cover 802 connected to each other. Along the length of the box body 801, one end of the box body 801 is provided with a feed pipe 803 connected to the decarbonization pipe 7, and the other end is provided with an exhaust pipe 804. The exhaust pipe 804 can be directly vented or a filter screen can be inserted inside it.
[0052] Along the length of the housing 801, a plurality of insertion slots 806 are sequentially arranged inside the housing 801. A sealing block 807 is provided on the edge of the separating net 805, and each sealing block 807 is inserted into the insertion slot 806. The sealing cover 802 is tightly fitted with the sealing block 807 on the top of the separating net 805.
[0053] Meanwhile, along the length of the box 801, a number of cone-shaped material collection hoods 809 are sequentially arranged at the bottom of the box 801. The inlet end of each material collection hood 809 is connected to the box 801, and its outlet end is connected to a discharge pipe 808.
[0054] It should be noted that each of the insertion slots 806 and each of the collection covers 809 are staggered, that is, the insertion slot 806 is located between two adjacent collection covers 809.
[0055] The enlarged housing 801 of the settling tank 8 effectively reduces the airflow speed. The airflow and potassium salt mixture impact each filter screen layer by layer. The airflow passes through the filter screen, while the potassium salt is blocked and eventually falls into the discharge pipe 808 under its own gravity. At the same time, the cooperation between the insertion groove 806 and the sealing block 807 improves the sealing performance and effectively reduces the difficulty of disassembling and assembling the equipment.
[0056] In this application, an external high-pressure gas source enters the negative pressure pipe through a jet pipe. Based on the Venturi effect, when the high-speed airflow passes through, it will form a suction negative pressure in the negative pressure pipe, thereby drawing out the material located in the temporary storage tank through the suction pipe and entering the decarbonization pipe through the outlet end of the negative pressure pipe. At the same time, the vent pipe can ensure the stability of the gas pressure in the temporary storage tank. In the decarbonization pipe, the heating device raises the temperature to 300-500℃. During the process of the mixture of airflow and material passing through the decarbonization pipe, the carbon powder is burned at high temperature and finally converted into carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide. Finally, the burned material enters the settling tank. After gas-solid separation, the gas is directly discharged into the atmosphere, and the dust that settles down is only the decarbonized potassium salt.
[0057] Compared with the prior art, this application uses high-speed airflow to adsorb potassium salts, which not only improves the potassium salt transport efficiency but also prevents potassium salt from clumping. Combined with subsequent heating, it can ensure that the dispersed carbon powder can be fully burned at high temperature, thereby effectively improving the carbon powder combustion efficiency and carbon removal effect.
[0058] Secondly, the airflow can prevent potassium salts from caking during calcination by its own impact force during material transport, which is beneficial for subsequent dissolution.
[0059] Finally, this application can reduce the toner content in a single process, which not only has high carbon removal efficiency, but also reduces equipment energy consumption and operating costs.
[0060] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and do not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
