Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of nitrogen drying devices, specifically a nitrogen drying device for nitrogen preparation. Background Technology
[0002] A nitrogen drying unit is a machine that dries nitrogen gas. It is one of the processes in nitrogen production. The main processes of nitrogen production include raw air filtration, compression, cooling, cleaning, pressurization, expansion, distillation, separation, heating, and external supply. Common methods for nitrogen production include liquid air fractionation, cryogenic separation, membrane separation, pressure swing adsorption, and pressure swing absorption. Since nitrogen accounts for 4 / 5 of the atmosphere, or more than 78% of the atmosphere, we can use nitrogen almost infinitely. Nitrogen is mainly produced by separating or decomposing nitrogen-containing compounds from the atmosphere.
[0003] Application number CN202320521591.1 discloses a nitrogen drying device for nitrogen preparation, relating to the technical field of nitrogen drying devices. It includes a refrigerated dryer, which is fixedly connected to a dryer via a conduit. The dryer includes a casing, with pipes fixedly connected to both sides of the casing surface. The inner wall of the dryer has a first adsorption layer, a second adsorption layer, a third adsorption layer, a fourth adsorption layer, and a fifth adsorption layer fixedly connected from top to bottom. A water-absorbing drying device is provided on the inner wall of the casing. This invention provides a superior drying process, reducing the number of substandard nitrogen gases detected in the nitrogen tank during subsequent purity testing. This improves the yield rate of nitrogen preparation, enhances the device's effectiveness, and increases its practicality.
[0004] However, the above setup still has some problems in use: the above equipment can make the nitrogen pass rate higher through multiple adsorption layers, but after the adsorption layer has been used for a period of time, the adsorption efficiency of the adsorption layer will decrease. Since the adsorption layer is mostly connected inside the dryer and is inconvenient to replace, long-term use will affect the adsorption efficiency of the equipment. In addition, the above equipment is connected to the conduit through a flange, and after the pipeline is connected, the gas can easily flow out from the gap at the connection, and the sealing is not strong. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the issues that while the aforementioned equipment can achieve a higher nitrogen yield through multiple adsorption layers, the adsorption efficiency of these layers decreases after a period of use. Furthermore, since the adsorption layers are mostly connected inside the dryer and are inconvenient to replace, prolonged use will affect the equipment's adsorption efficiency. Additionally, the equipment is connected to the conduit via flanges, which allows gas to easily leak from the gaps at the connection points, resulting in poor sealing. Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a nitrogen drying device for nitrogen preparation.
[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a nitrogen drying device for nitrogen preparation, comprising a base, a refrigerated dryer and a dryer symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the base, a connecting pipe between the refrigerated dryer and the dryer, a drying plate inside the dryer, an exhaust pipe on the outer surface of the dryer, a flange fixedly arranged at the other end of the exhaust pipe, a sealing assembly connected to the flange, and an auxiliary replacement assembly connected to the outer surface of the dryer;
[0007] The auxiliary replacement assembly includes a side opening and a connecting plate. The side opening is located on the outer surface of the dryer. A fixed frame plate is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the dryer. A fixed plate is fixedly mounted on one side of the connecting plate, and the fixed plate and the side of the connecting plate are movably fitted together. A circular frame is fixedly mounted on the inner surface of the connecting plate, and an adsorption plate is fixedly mounted on the inner surface of the circular frame. A hollow plate is fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the fixed frame plate, and a spring is fixedly mounted on the inner surface of the hollow plate. A sliding plate is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the spring, and a movable rod is fixedly mounted in the middle of the sliding plate. An insertion port is opened on one side of the fixed frame plate, and the movable rod movably passes through the hollow plate and the insertion port. A connecting cylinder is fixedly mounted on one side of the fixed plate, and the connecting cylinder is movably inserted into the insertion port. The upper end of the movable rod is movably inserted into the interior of the connecting cylinder. A fixed shell is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the flange, and a protective plate is rotatably mounted on the fixed shell. A bolt is threadedly inserted into the protective plate, and the end of the bolt is threadedly inserted into the protective plate.
[0008] Preferably, the sealing assembly includes an annular groove formed on one side of the flange, a sealing airbag is fixedly provided on the inner surface of the annular groove, and an air guide pipe is fixedly provided on the outer surface of the sealing airbag. The air guide pipe passes through the flange, and a screw cap is threaded to the upper end of the air guide pipe.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0010] 1. When the adsorption plate needs to be replaced, the movable rod can be pulled to disengage its end from the connecting cylinder. Then, the fixed plate can be moved by pulling the opening to disengage the adsorption plate from the dryer. The connecting plate with the new adsorption plate can be inserted into the fixed frame plate, and the connecting cylinder can be inserted into the socket. Then, the movable rod can be released, and the end of the movable rod can be inserted into the connecting cylinder by the force of the spring, which facilitates the replacement of the adsorption plate and can improve the adsorption efficiency.
[0011] 2. After the conduit and the outlet pipe are connected, the end of the conduit can be removed from the protective plate by rotating the bolt. After rotating the protective plate, the cap will be exposed. After rotating the cap, the conduit can be removed from the conduit. Then, air can be pumped into the conduit by a tool, which will cause the sealing airbag to expand. The expanded sealing airbag can fill the gap between the flange and the conduit, thereby improving the sealing performance and reducing the possibility of air leakage. Attached Figure Description

The materials of the multiple adsorption layers have been disclosed in the comparative case and are existing technologies, so they will not be described in detail. Nitrogen gas can be preliminarily dried by the refrigerated dryer 11 and then enters the dryer 12 through the connecting pipe 13 and is dried by the drying plate 123. The adsorption plate 241 can adsorb carbon dioxide, oxygen, and moisture in the nitrogen gas. A hollow plate 25 is fixedly provided on the lower surface of the fixed frame plate 22.

The upper end of the movable rod 26 is movably inserted into the connecting cylinder 291. When the adsorption plate 241 needs to be replaced, it can be replaced by pulling the movable rod 26. The movable rod 26 is disengaged from the connecting cylinder 291. Then, the fixed plate 231 can be moved through the pull port 232 to disengage the adsorption plate 241 from the dryer 12. The connecting plate 23 with the new adsorption plate 241 can be inserted into the fixed frame plate 22, and the connecting cylinder 291 can be inserted into the insertion port 29. Then, the movable rod 26 can be released and the end of the movable rod 26 can be inserted into the connecting cylinder 291 by the force of the spring 27, which facilitates the replacement of the adsorption plate 241 and can improve the adsorption efficiency.
[0024] The fixed plate 231 has a pull opening 232 on one side. The pull opening 232 has a concave cross-sectional shape, which facilitates the movement of the fixed plate 231.

There are eight springs 27, and the springs 27 are arrayed between the inner surface of the hollow plate 25 and the slide plate 28. By setting multiple springs 27, the stability after connection can be improved.

The expanded sealing airbag 42 can fill the gap between the flange 122 and the duct, thereby improving the sealing performance and reducing the possibility of leakage.
[0026] A fixed housing 45 is fixedly provided on the outer surface of the flange 122. A protective plate 46 is rotatably provided on the fixed housing 45. A bolt 47 is threaded into the protective plate 46. The end of the bolt 47 is threaded into the protective plate 46.

[0027] Working principle: When using this utility model, after the conduit is connected to the air outlet pipe 121, the end of the conduit can be disengaged from the protective plate 46 by rotating the bolt 47. After rotating the protective plate 46, the cap 44 will be exposed. After rotating the cap 44, the conduit can be disengaged from the air duct 43. Then, air can be pumped into the air duct 43 by a tool, which will cause the sealing airbag 42 to expand. The expanded sealing airbag 42 can fill the gap between the flange 122 and the conduit, thereby improving the sealing performance and reducing the possibility of air leakage.
[0028] Nitrogen gas undergoes preliminary drying in the refrigerated dryer 11 and then enters the dryer 12 through the connecting pipe 13. It is then dried by the drying plate 123. The adsorption plate 241 adsorbs carbon dioxide, oxygen, and moisture from the nitrogen gas. When the adsorption plate 241 needs to be replaced, the end of the movable rod 26 can be pulled out of the connecting cylinder 291. Then, the fixed plate 231 can be moved through the pull port 232 to remove the adsorption plate 241 from the dryer 12. The connecting plate 23 with the new adsorption plate 241 can be inserted into the fixed frame plate 22, and the connecting cylinder 291 can be inserted into the insertion port 29. After that, the movable rod 26 can be released, and the end of the movable rod 26 can be inserted into the connecting cylinder 291 by the force of the spring 27. This facilitates the replacement of the adsorption plate 241 and improves the adsorption efficiency.
