Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heating zinc plating additives, and in particular to a preheater for zinc plating additive raw materials. Background Technology
[0002] Zinc plating additives are a class of chemical auxiliaries used in the zinc plating process. Their main function is to improve the quality of the coating, making it brighter, finer, and more uniform, and to enhance the dispersion, deep-plating capability, and stability of the plating solution. Depending on the zinc plating system, additives can be classified into types for acidic zinc plating, alkaline zincate zinc plating, and chloride zinc plating.

Detailed Implementation
[0035] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0036] Reference Figures 1-3This utility model provides an embodiment of a preheater for galvanizing additive raw materials, comprising a heating tank 1. A discharge pipe is provided at the bottom of the heating tank 1 for discharging the heated raw material, ensuring that the heated material can be discharged directionally from the equipment. A mixing assembly 7 is provided at the bottom of the heating tank 1, consisting of a motor, a rotating shaft, and stirring blades. The motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate slowly, causing the stirring blades to gently stir the raw material, ensuring uniform distribution of the material during heating and preventing localized overheating or insufficient heating. A feed pipe 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the heating tank 1. A heat-conducting plate 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heating tank 1, forming a cavity between the heat-conducting plate 3 and the tank wall for installing an electric heating rod 4, forming a heat conduction carrier and providing installation space for the electric heating rod 4. The heating tank 1 is made of heat-insulating material to prevent heat loss, reduce heat diffusion from the tank to the outside, and improve heating efficiency. The electric heating rod 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heating tank 1, and a mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the top of the electric heating rod 4. Ring 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of heating tank 1 and the outer wall of heat-conducting plate 3 on both sides, respectively, to support heating rod 4. Its surface has several sets of equidistantly distributed holes to allow nitrogen gas to flow, providing a channel for nitrogen gas to circulate within the cavity and ensuring smooth gas circulation. An annular pipe 6 is installed outside the feed pipe 2, fitted onto the outer wall of the feed pipe 2. A valve 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the annular pipe 6 via a pipe. An injection pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of valve 9. Several sets of gas pipes 8 and valves 9 are respectively arranged in a circular array around the center point of feed pipe 2, so that nitrogen can be sprayed evenly from the inner wall of feed pipe 2 in multiple directions, increasing the contact area with raw materials. Gas injection pipe 8 passes through feed pipe 2 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of feed pipe 2. Gas injection pipe 8 enters the inside of feed pipe 2 to contact nitrogen with particles. By introducing inert gas to contact with raw materials, oxidation and volatilization are reduced. The inert gas is used to isolate raw materials from air, reducing the risk of raw materials being deteriorated by oxidation or lost due to volatilization.
[0037] Reference Figures 2-4An annular airbag 10 is installed at the top of the annular pipe 6. An engagement ring 11 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the annular airbag 10. An embedding groove 12 is formed on the outer wall of the feed pipe 2. The outer wall of the engagement ring 11 matches the inner wall of the embedding groove 12, ensuring a tight fit between the annular airbag 10 and the outer wall of the feed pipe 2, thus initially improving the sealing at the connection. An air pump 16 is also fixedly connected to the inner wall of the annular pipe 6 via a pipe. A nitrogen generator 15 is also fixedly connected to the input end of the air pump 16 via a pipe. The outer wall of the air pump 16 is fixedly connected to the back of the nitrogen generator 15. A control valve 14 is also fixedly connected to the inner wall of the annular pipe 6 via a pipe, enabling precise control of the inflation volume of the annular airbag 10 and adjusting the sealing force. A drainage pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the output end of the control valve 14. The end of the drainage pipe 13 furthest from the control valve 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the annular airbag 10. A support frame 17 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the feed pipe 2. A limiting ring 18 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support frame 17. The limiting ring 18 prevents the axial displacement of the annular airbag 10, ensuring that the sealing surface does not separate under impact. The outer surface of the annular airbag 10 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the limiting ring 18. The annular airbag 10 can cover the feed pipe 2 and the pipeline for transmitting raw materials. A portion of nitrogen is introduced through the drainage pipe 13 for expansion. The upper and lower sets of interlocking rings 11 contact the embedded groove 12 to increase the sealing performance and avoid the risk of dust explosion caused by feeding. The multiple sealing structure blocks the dust diffusion path and reduces the dust explosion hazard from the source. A collecting hopper 28 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the heating tank 1. The collecting hopper 28 gathers the raw materials at the center of the heating tank 1, preventing them from being sprayed onto the wall of the heat-conducting plate 3 and preventing the raw materials from directly impacting the heat-conducting plate 3, causing local material accumulation or obstruction of heat conduction.
[0038] Reference Figures 4-5The surface of the heating tank 1 is equipped with an exhaust assembly to discharge excess nitrogen gas, preventing excessive nitrogen from causing excessive pressure and ensuring safe operation of the equipment. The exhaust assembly includes an exhaust pipe 19, which penetrates the heat-conducting plate 3 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heat-conducting plate 3. A one-way valve 24 is a rectangular tube, and the end of the exhaust pipe 19 is also fixedly connected to a one-way valve 24 through a pipe to prevent outside air from flowing back into the tank through the exhaust pipe 19. The bottom of the inner wall of the exhaust pipe 19 has an inclined surface 23, which slopes towards the inner wall of the heating tank 1, allowing it to be introduced into the heating tank 1 by gravity. The inclined surface 23 guides dust to slide into the tank. The top of the pipe 19 is provided with a through groove 20, and a mounting bracket 21 is provided inside the through groove 20. The inner wall of the mounting bracket 21 is adapted to the outer wall of the through groove 20. The inner wall of the mounting bracket 21 is magnetically connected to the inner wall of the exhaust pipe 19 by a magnet. Magnets are embedded in the inner walls of the mounting bracket 21 and the exhaust pipe 19, which can fix the mounting bracket 21 and realize quick disassembly and assembly, which facilitates the cleaning or replacement of the filter screen 22. The filter screen 22 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting bracket 21. The filter screen 22 is a stainless steel sintered filter element. The filter screen 22 blocks dust and prevents it from being discharged through the exhaust pipe 19, preventing raw material dust from being discharged from the equipment with nitrogen, reducing environmental pollution and raw material waste.
[0039] Reference Figure 5 A transmission pipe 25 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heating tank 1. The transmission pipe 25 passes through the heat-conducting plate 3 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heat-conducting plate 3. A fixed sleeve 27 is rotatably connected to the end of the transmission pipe 25. A threaded sleeve 29 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 27. A telescopic pipe 26 is rotatably connected to the end of the threaded sleeve 29. The end of the telescopic pipe 26 away from the threaded sleeve 29 is fixedly connected to the end of the one-way valve 24 through a rigid pipe. The transmission pipe 25 can introduce some nitrogen into the cavity and contact the heating rod 4 to increase the heat uniformity in the heating tank 1.
[0040] Working principle: When the external conveying pipe connects to the feed pipe 2, the annular airbag 10 introduces nitrogen through the drainage pipe 13 and begins to expand. The interlocking ring 11 on the inner surface is embedded in the groove 12 on the outer wall of the feed pipe 2, forming a double sealing structure with the fixing effect of the limiting ring 18. The upper and lower sets of interlocking rings 11 greatly improve the sealing performance at the connection, effectively avoiding the risk of explosion caused by dust during the feeding process. At the same time, the nitrogen generated by the nitrogen generator 15 is pressurized by the air pump 16, and part of it is distributed to each set of valves 9 through the annular pipe 6, and then injected. Gas 8 is injected into the feed pipe 2, making full contact with the falling raw material particles. Utilizing the properties of inert gas, it reduces oxidation and volatilization of the raw material during transport. After entering the heating tank 1, the raw material is collected in the central area of the tank via the collecting hopper 28, avoiding direct spraying onto the surface of the heat-conducting plate 3 and affecting heating efficiency. When the heating system starts, the heating rod 4 is fixed in the cavity between the inner wall of the heating tank 1 and the heat-conducting plate 3 via the mounting ring 5. After being energized, it releases heat and is evenly transferred to the raw material through the heat-conducting plate 3. The heating tank 1 is made of heat-insulating material, in conjunction with… The cavity structure reduces heat loss and ensures stable temperature inside the tank. The mixing component 7 at the bottom, driven by a motor, rotates slowly through a shaft to gently stir the raw materials, making them heat more evenly. Regarding nitrogen circulation, the holes on the surface of the mounting ring 5 provide a channel for nitrogen flow. Some nitrogen enters the one-way valve 24 through the exhaust pipe 19, and then is introduced into the cavity containing the heating rod 4 through the telescopic pipe 26, threaded sleeve 29, and transmission pipe 25. After direct contact with the heating rod 4, a hot airflow is formed, further improving heat transfer efficiency. The inclined surface 23 on the inner wall of the exhaust pipe 19 guides the nitrogen back into the tank using gravity. The mounting bracket 21 at the top is fixed by magnets, and its built-in filter 22 intercepts raw material dust, preventing waste or pollution caused by nitrogen discharge. Throughout the process, the insulation material effectively locks in temperature, inert gas participates in raw material protection, the stirring mechanism ensures even heating, and multiple sealing and filtration devices ensure the safety and environmental friendliness of the equipment operation, achieving the goal of high efficiency, safety, and low loss of galvanized additive raw materials in preheating treatment.
