[0028] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an adsorption-type cold trap includes: a shell 1, a cooling inner liner 2, and a first mesh plate 4. An air inlet 13 is formed at the bottom of the shell 1, and an air outlet 14 is formed at the top of the shell 1. The cooling inner liner 2 is located inside the shell 1 and is fixedly connected to the shell 1. A cooling cavity is formed inside the cooling inner liner 2, and the cooling cavity is connected to a liquid inlet 17 and a liquid outlet 18 respectively. The first mesh plate 4 is located inside the shell 1 and is fixedly positioned to the shell 1. The first mesh plate 4 is located above the cooling inner liner 2.
[0029] Preferably, it also includes a second mesh plate 5, which is located inside the housing 1 and above the first mesh plate 4. The second mesh plate 5 is fixed in position to the housing 1.
[0030] More preferably, adsorption particles are disposed between the first mesh plate 4 and the second mesh plate 5. The mesh openings of the first mesh plate 4 and the second mesh plate 5 are smaller than the diameter of the adsorption particles, thereby limiting the adsorption particles (not shown in the figure) and preventing them from leaving the space between the first mesh plate 4 and the second mesh plate 5.
[0031] Preferably, the device further includes a transparent lens 6, a mesh tube 61, and a fixing shell 62. The mesh tube 61 is located between the first mesh plate 4 and the second mesh plate 5. The fixing shell 62 is fixedly connected to the shell 1. The open end of the mesh tube 61 is fixedly and detachably connected to the fixing shell 62. The fixing shell 62 is fixedly connected to the transparent lens 6.
[0032] More preferably, the mesh cylinder 61 contains a detection reagent. In use, the mesh cylinder 61 is surrounded by adsorbed particles. A person visually observes the color of the solid granular detection reagent inside the mesh cylinder 61 through the transparent lens 6 to determine if the adsorbed particles are saturated. If the color of the detection reagent changes to the color indicated by saturated adsorbed particles, the adsorbed particles are replaced. When replacing the adsorbed particles, a new detection reagent must also be used.
[0033] Preferably, the system further includes an installation cylinder 3 and an adsorption plate 31. The installation cylinder 3 is fitted onto the outside of the cooling inner liner 2 and contacts the cooling inner liner 2. The outside of the installation cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the adsorption plate 31. The installation cylinder 3 and the cooling inner liner 2 are detachable, making it easy to remove the installation cylinder 3 and the adsorption plate 31 from the housing 1 for cleaning. The adsorption plate 31 is used to increase the adsorption area.
[0034] Preferably, the inner and outer sides of the adsorption plate 31 are respectively attached to the outer side of the mounting cylinder 3 and the inner wall of the shell 1. The adsorption plate 31 forms a vent 30 that runs through the vertical direction. Multiple adsorption plates 31 are arranged in a straight line along the vertical direction, so that the exhaust gas moves along the air duct set by the adsorption plate 31.
[0035] More preferably, the air inlets 30 of two adjacent adsorption plates 31 do not overlap, so that the gas must go through a circular motion on a horizontal plane before it can move vertically upward, thereby increasing the length of the gas flow through the adsorption plate 31 and increasing the amount of dust adsorbed and pollutants condensed in the gas.
[0036] Preferably, the housing 1 includes a lower housing 11, an upper housing 12, a bottom plate 15, and a top plate 16. The upper housing 12 is located above the lower housing 11 and is fixed to and detachably connected to the lower housing 11. The top plate 16 is located above the upper housing 12 and is fixed to and detachably connected to the upper housing 12. The bottom plate 15 is located below the lower housing 11 and is fixed to and detachably connected to the lower housing 11. The first mesh plate 4 is located inside the upper housing 12, and the cooling inner liner 2 is located inside the lower housing 11 and is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 15. The multi-segmented housing 1 is easy to disassemble for cleaning, and adjacent components of the housing 1 can be fixed and sealed using existing flange connections, clamp connections, etc.
[0037] Preferably, the system further includes a separator 21 located inside the cooling chamber. The top of the separator 21 forms a channel with the inner wall of the cooling liner 2, and the bottom of the separator 21 is fixedly connected to the base plate 15. The liquid inlet 17 and the liquid outlet 18 are respectively formed on the base plate 15, and are located on the left and right sides of the separator 21. The separator 21 restricts the flow path of the refrigerant, ensuring that the refrigerant must pass through the upper part of the cooling chamber, resulting in a more uniform temperature throughout the cooling liner 2. More preferably, the refrigerant is cooling water.
[0038] Preferably, the system further includes a first support plate 41 and a second support plate 51, which are respectively fixedly connected to the inner wall of the upper housing 12. The first mesh plate 4 is placed above the first support plate 41, and the second mesh plate 5 is placed above the second support plate 51. Installing the first mesh plate 4 and the second mesh plate 5 by placing them together simplifies the process of disassembly and installation.
[0039] More preferably, the number of first trays 41 and second trays 51 is greater than two.
[0040] Preferably, it also includes casters 7, with multiple casters 7 located below the base plate 15 and fixedly connected to the base plate 15 to facilitate the movement of the housing 1.
[0041] Preferably, it also includes a handle 19, which is located above the top plate 16 and fixedly connected to the top plate 16, and provides a point of leverage for the worker when moving the housing 1.
[0042] Preferably, the air inlet 13 is integrally formed with the lower housing 11, and the air outlet 14 is integrally formed with the top plate 16.
[0043] Working principle:
[0044] During operation, the exhaust gas leaves the dry pump and enters the housing 1 through the inlet 13. At this time, refrigerant enters the cooling chamber through the liquid inlet 17 and exchanges heat with the cooling inner tank 2, lowering its temperature. The refrigerant then flows out through the liquid outlet 18. The cooling inner tank 2 cools the mounting cylinder 3 and the adsorption plates 31. The exhaust gas moves between the adsorption plates 31 and continuously passes through the vent 30, moving upwards. During this process, dust particles in the exhaust gas are adsorbed by the adsorption plates 31.
[0045] After leaving the adsorption plate 31, the exhaust gas rises through the first mesh plate 4 and comes into contact with the adsorbed particles. After being adsorbed by the particles, the exhaust gas continues to rise through the second mesh plate 5 and exits the interior of the housing 1 through the outlet 14. Afterward, the adsorbed exhaust gas enters the exhaust gas treatment equipment through a pipeline. The dust content in the adsorbed exhaust gas is greatly reduced, minimizing dust deposition on the inner wall of the pipeline and preventing blockage of the pipeline between the dry pump and the exhaust gas treatment equipment.
[0046] The present invention has been described above by way of example, but the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Any modifications or variations made based on the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
