Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pulping technology, and in particular to a pulp return control device for a hydraulcrete machine in a paperboard machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the production process of paperboard machines, the hydraulic pulper is one of the key pieces of equipment. It undertakes the important task of breaking down and loosening waste paper or other pulp raw materials and preparing pulp suitable for subsequent processes. During the operation of the hydraulic pulper, the pulp goes through a series of complex flow processes, including breaking down, mixing, and conveying. Finally, some of the pulp will be returned to the pulper or other processing units through the return pipe to achieve the recycling of pulp and the stable control of process parameters.
[0003] In actual production, the raw materials used in paperboard production are complex, such as waste cardboard boxes and newspapers. After being processed by a hydrapulper, the pulp composition is complex, containing not only fibers but also adhesives, filler particles, ink residues, and other impurities. These impurities easily adhere to and deposit on the inner wall of the return pipe during the pulp recirculation process. Over time, the impurities accumulate, causing the inner diameter of the pipe to decrease and the pulp flow resistance to increase significantly. This not only affects the normal operation of the hydrapulper but also reduces the quality of the pulp. Therefore, we propose a pulp recirculation control device for a paperboard machine hydrapulper. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a pulp return control device for a hydraulcrete machine for paperboard production. This device can solve the problem that in the actual production process, the raw materials used in paperboard production are complex, such as waste cardboard boxes and newspapers. After being processed by the hydraulcrete machine, the pulp composition is complex. In addition to fibers, it also contains impurities such as adhesives, filler particles, and ink residues. During the pulp return process, these impurities are very easy to adhere to and deposit on the inner wall of the return pipe. Over time, the impurities accumulate, causing the inner diameter of the pipe to become smaller and the pulp flow resistance to increase significantly. This not only affects the normal operation of the hydraulcrete machine, but also reduces the quality of the pulp.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a pulp return control device for a hydraulcreting machine in a paperboard machine, comprising:
[0027] The hydraulic pulper body 1 and the water tank 2 are provided. The bottom of the hydraulic pulper body 1 is fixedly connected to the discharge bend 9, which is connected to the interior of the hydraulic pulper body 1.
[0028] Pipe cleaning structure, located on water tank 2;
[0029] The pipeline cleaning structure includes a water pump 3, a water supply pipe 4, and a ring pipe 14. The water pump 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the water tank 2. The pumping end of the water pump 3 is connected to the inside of the water tank 2. The pumping end of the water pump 3 is fixedly connected to the water supply pipe 4. The end of the water supply pipe 4 away from the water pump 3 is fixedly connected to the ring pipe 14. Two rotary valves 15 are fixedly installed on the ring pipe 14. The end of the slurry discharge bend 9 away from the hydraulic pulper body 1 is fixedly installed with a slurry pump 8. The pumping end of the slurry pump 8 is connected to the inside of the slurry discharge bend 9. The slurry discharge end of the slurry pump 8 is fixedly connected to the slurry discharge main pipe 11.
[0030] An electromagnetic control valve 6 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the slurry discharge main pipe 11. A return pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the end of the electromagnetic control valve 6 away from the slurry discharge main pipe 11. The return pipe 5 has an "L" shaped structure. The end of the return pipe 5 away from the electromagnetic control valve 6 is connected to the interior of the hydraulic pulper body 1. A cleaning horizontal pipe 12 and a cleaning vertical pipe 13 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the return pipe 5. Both the cleaning horizontal pipe 12 and the cleaning vertical pipe 13 are connected to the interior of the return pipe 5. The end of the annular pipe 14 away from the water supply pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the cleaning horizontal pipe 12 and the cleaning vertical pipe 13 respectively.
[0031] A slurry concentration sensor 7 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the slurry discharge main pipe 11. The detection end of the slurry concentration sensor 7 is located inside the slurry discharge main pipe 11. A control valve 10 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the slurry discharge bend 9. A water injection pipe 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the water tank 2. The water injection pipe 16 is connected to the inside of the water tank 2.
[0032] Furthermore, when using this device, the slurry in the hydraulic pulper body 1 is pumped to the slurry discharge main pipe 11 through the slurry discharge bend 9 under the action of the slurry pump 8. The slurry concentration sensor 7 on the slurry discharge main pipe 11 detects the slurry concentration in real time and feeds back the data. If the detected slurry concentration meets the production standard, the electromagnetic control valve 6 is closed and the slurry is discharged directly through the slurry discharge main pipe 11; if the concentration does not meet the standard, the next step of the recirculation operation is performed.
[0033] When the slurry concentration sensor 7 detects that the slurry concentration is not up to standard, the electromagnetic control valve 6 opens and the slurry discharge main pipe 11 closes. The slurry flows back to the hydraulic pulper body 1 through the return pipe 5 for reprocessing. When the return pipe 5 needs to be cleaned, the slurry discharge main pipe 11 closes, the electromagnetic control valve 6 opens, and the water pump 3 starts. The water pump 3 draws the liquid from the water tank 2 and delivers it to the annular pipe 14 through the water supply pipe 4. The annular pipe 14 guides the liquid into the cleaning horizontal pipe 12 and the cleaning vertical pipe 13 respectively, and sends it into the hydraulic pulper body 1 through the return pipe 5. The liquid flows and flushes in the return pipe 5, the cleaning horizontal pipe 12 and the cleaning vertical pipe 13 to clean the pipes and prevent slurry residue from clogging the pipes.
[0034] The control valve 10 on the discharge bend 9 can control the discharge flow rate of the slurry in the hydraulic pulper body 1. By adjusting the working state of the control valve 10 and the slurry pump 8, the amount of slurry entering the discharge main pipe 11 can be controlled. In conjunction with the electromagnetic control valve 6 and the slurry concentration sensor 7, the precise control of the slurry concentration and discharge volume can be achieved.
[0035] The circulating cleaning system, consisting of a water pump 3, a water supply pipe 4, a ring pipe 14, a horizontal cleaning pipe 12, and a vertical cleaning pipe 13, allows the water pump 3 to be started when cleaning is needed. This causes the liquid to flow at high speed within the pipes, forcefully flushing the inner wall of the return pipe 5 and promptly removing adhering adhesives, filler particles, ink residues, and other impurities. Continuous circulating cleaning prevents the accumulation of impurities, maintains a stable inner diameter of the pipes, reduces the resistance to slurry flow, and ensures unobstructed pipe flow during long-term use.
