Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of walnut carbon technology, specifically a walnut shell carbonization cooling tank. Background Technology

[0002] Carbonization generally refers to the carbonization process. Carbonization, also known as dry distillation, carbonization, or coking, is a reaction process in which solid or organic matter is decomposed by heating under air-isolated conditions, or a method of producing liquid or gaseous (usually solid) products by heating solid substances.

[0003] Walnut charcoal is made from the shells of wild mountain walnuts from regions such as Changbai Mountain and the Greater and Lesser Khingan Mountains in Heilongjiang Province. Compared with common walnuts, wild mountain walnuts have a lower yield and are a unique walnut tree variety found in the primeval forests of Northeast China.

[0004] Since walnut shell carbonization requires isolating from air to prevent combustion and maintain carbonization efficiency, the current method of natural cooling after carbonization is too long due to the closed environment, which affects production efficiency. Therefore, this application proposes a walnut shell carbonization cooling tank. Utility Model Content

Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] This utility model provides a walnut shell carbonization cooling tank. A drive mechanism facilitates the unidirectional flow of inert gas, directing the gas stream towards the walnut shell carbon. As the inert gas flows, it carries away heat from the carbon while preventing combustion upon contact with oxygen. The drive mechanism also activates an exhaust mechanism to agitate the carbon, ensuring thorough contact between the flowing inert gas and the carbon, thus improving cooling efficiency. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 1-6 It includes: a preparation mechanism 100, a driving mechanism 200 and an exhaust mechanism 300.

[0033] The preparation mechanism 100 includes a preparation tank 110 and an air inlet pipe 120, the air inlet pipe 120 being connected to the bottom of the preparation tank 110;

[0034] The preparation tank 110 is equipped with an end cap on the top, and a one-way exhaust port is provided on the end cap so that the airflow is discharged from the inside of the preparation tank 110 to the outside of the preparation tank 110 in one direction, preventing the outside air from entering. The walnut shells are placed inside the preparation tank 110 and ignited. After ignition, the preparation tank 110 is sealed so that the walnut shells are not fully burned and carbonized to form walnut carbon.

[0035] In addition, an electric heating rod is installed on the inner wall of the preparation tank 110 to assist heating and improve carbonization efficiency.

[0036] The drive mechanism 200 is installed on the intake pipe 120. The drive mechanism 200 includes a drive motor 210, a drive shaft 220, an impeller 230 and a drive bevel gear 240. The drive motor 210 is fixed on the outside of the intake pipe 120. The output end of the drive motor 210 is provided with the drive shaft 220 located inside the intake pipe 120. The impeller 230 is provided on the drive shaft 220 and the drive bevel gear 240 is provided at the end of the drive shaft 220.

[0037] The drive motor 210 drives the drive shaft 220 to rotate, and the drive shaft 220 drives the impeller 230 to rotate, thereby using the impeller 230 to drive the flow of inert gas.

[0038] The exhaust mechanism 300 is installed inside the preparation tank 110. The exhaust mechanism 300 includes a main exhaust pipe 310, a connecting pipe 320, a connecting rod 330, a driven bevel gear 340, and an exhaust side pipe 350. The bottom of the main exhaust pipe 310 is connected to the air inlet pipe 120 through the connecting pipe 320. The bottom of the connecting pipe 320 is provided with the connecting rod 330. The bottom of the connecting rod 330 is provided with the driven bevel gear 340 that meshes with the driving bevel gear 240. The exhaust side pipe 350 is provided on the side wall of the main exhaust pipe 310.

[0039] When the drive shaft 220 rotates, it synchronously drives the drive bevel gear 240 to rotate. The drive bevel gear 240 drives the connecting rod 330 to rotate through the driven bevel gear 340. The connecting rod 330 drives the connecting pipe 320 and the main ventilation pipe 310 to rotate. The main ventilation pipe 310 drives the ventilation side pipe 350 to rotate, so that the inert gas is evenly blown into the preparation tank 110 and then discharged from the one-way exhaust port at the top of the preparation tank 110.

[0040] Because cooling is required, a cooling box 130 is installed at the inlet of the air intake pipe 120 to ensure the cooling effect. The cooling box 130 is equipped with a cooling coil 140 connected to the air intake pipe 120. Coolant is installed inside the cooling box 130. A refrigeration component is installed on the side wall of the cooling box 130. The refrigeration component adopts a semiconductor refrigerator. The refrigeration component is used to cool the coolant. The inert gas flows through the cooling coil 140. The temperature of the inert gas is reduced by the coolant, so that the low temperature inert gas is blown into the preparation tank 110.

[0041] To ensure uniform exhaust, the ventilation side pipes 350 are evenly distributed on the side wall of the ventilation main pipe 310, and the ventilation side pipes 350 are evenly distributed with exhaust holes 360 so that the inert gas can fully contact the walnut charcoal.

[0042] To ensure uniform temperature distribution, an agitator 400 is provided on the cooling coil 140. The agitator 400 includes a rotating shaft 410, an agitator impeller 420, and agitator blades 430. The rotating shaft 410 is rotatably connected to the cooling coil 140. One end of the rotating shaft 410 is provided with the agitator impeller 420 located in the air intake pipe 120, and the other end of the rotating shaft 410 is provided with the agitator blades 430 located in the cooling box 130. When the airflow is flowing, the agitator impeller 420 drives the rotating shaft 410 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 410 drives the agitator blades 430 to agitate the coolant, so that the temperature distribution in the coolant is uniform.

[0043] Since oxygen cannot be introduced, a one-way air intake valve is installed on the air intake pipe 120, and an inert gas storage tank is connected to the air intake end of the cooling coil 140, so that inert gas flows inside the air intake pipe 120.

[0044] In practical use, walnut shells are placed inside the preparation tank 110 and ignited. After ignition, the preparation tank 110 is sealed to allow incomplete combustion and carbonization of the walnut shells, forming walnut carbon. When cooling is required, inert gas is introduced into the air inlet of the cooling coil 140. The drive motor 210 drives the drive shaft 220 to rotate, which in turn drives the impeller 230 to rotate. The impeller 230 drives the inert gas to circulate. The inert gas circulates through the cooling coil 140, and the coolant in the cooling box 130 lowers the temperature of the inert gas, causing the low-temperature inert gas to be blown into the preparation tank 110. During airflow, the impeller 420 agitates and drives the rotating shaft 410 to rotate. Shaft 410 drives stirring blades 430 to agitate the coolant, ensuring a uniform temperature distribution within the coolant. Simultaneously, the rotation of drive shaft 220 drives drive bevel gear 240, which in turn drives connecting rod 330 via driven bevel gear 340. Connecting rod 330 then drives connecting pipe 320 and main vent pipe 310, which in turn drives vent side pipe 350. This causes inert gas to be evenly blown into preparation tank 110 and then discharged from a one-way exhaust port at the top of preparation tank 110. As the inert gas flows, it carries away heat from the walnut charcoal, improving cooling efficiency and preventing the walnut charcoal from contacting oxygen and burning, which would affect the quality of the finished product.

[0045] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be combined with each other in any way. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
