Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cyclone separator technology, and in particular to a device for preventing cyclone separator blockage. Background Technology

[0002] Cyclone separators, widely used in industrial production for gas-solid or liquid-solid separation, play a crucial role in numerous fields due to their simple structure, high operational flexibility, high efficiency, convenient management and maintenance, and low cost. Their working principle is based on the tangential introduction of airflow to create rotational motion, which throws solid particles or liquid droplets with significant inertial centrifugal force against the outer wall surface, thus achieving separation. However, in actual operation, clogging of cyclone separators frequently occurs, becoming a prominent problem restricting the continuity and stability of production.

[0003] When a cyclone separator becomes clogged, the material flow channel is blocked, preventing the separated material from being discharged smoothly. This leads to a significant decrease in the equipment's processing capacity, and increased energy consumption is another major problem caused by blockage. To maintain basic production operations, companies often need to increase the fan power to overcome the resistance caused by the blockage, directly resulting in increased energy consumption. Furthermore, blockage poses a serious threat to the safe operation of the equipment. The obstructed airflow caused by blockage can lead to abnormal pressure fluctuations inside the equipment, and long-term operation may cause structural damage such as separator shell deformation and weld cracking. Under high-temperature conditions, the accumulation of blockage material can also cause localized overheating, increasing the risk of fire, explosion, and other safety accidents.

[0004] Furthermore, blockages significantly increase equipment maintenance costs. Frequent shutdowns for cleaning require substantial manpower and resources, and the cleaning process can also cause wear and tear on components such as the separator's inner wall and guide vanes, shortening the equipment's lifespan.

[0007] The technical advantages of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are as follows: the material is pre-treated by the crushing component in the storage tank, impurities are filtered by the vibrating screen, then dried by the heating component, and the qualified material is sent to the cyclone separator by the conveying component.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the heating assembly includes: a heating shell with a lower port of a hopper; a heating diaphragm disposed inside the heating shell; and a discharge port that is connected through to the bottom of the heating shell.

[0013] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the material enters the heating shell, is dried by the internal heating film, and is then fed to the cyclone separator through the discharge port and conveying component, which reduces the entry of large pieces and wet materials and effectively prevents the cyclone separator from clogging.

[0017] The technical advantages of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: the internal heating film is dried, and the temperature sensor monitors in real time and provides feedback through the display screen.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the heating shell is externally fixedly connected to multiple sets of connecting brackets, and the connecting brackets are welded to the mounting brackets.

[0019] The technical advantage of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the heating shell is fixed by the connecting frame and the mounting frame, which can improve the stability of the heating component.

[0021] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that by setting valves, the material conveying speed can be adjusted according to the processing capacity of the cyclone separator, further avoiding blockage caused by excessive material entry.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0023] This invention addresses the clogging problem of cyclone separators at its source through a three-stage pretreatment mechanism. First, the crushing component in the storage hopper uses a rotating shaft to drive the crushing blades, breaking down large pieces into fine particles and preventing blockages in the conveying channel caused by excessively large particle sizes. Second, a vibrating screen performs secondary screening between the storage hopper and the discharge hopper, precisely intercepting substandard particles and ensuring uniform particle size for subsequent stages. Finally, the heating component dries the material using heating diaphragms, reducing moisture content and effectively preventing blockages caused by material clumping due to dampness. This synergistic effect of three pretreatment processes significantly reduces the probability of cyclone separator blockage, avoids production interruptions caused by frequent shutdowns for cleaning in traditional equipment, and significantly improves production continuity and overall efficiency.

[0024] This invention achieves precise control of material conveying through a multi-layered structural design, effectively reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs. The heating assembly, equipped with a temperature sensor and display screen, monitors the heating temperature in real time, facilitating precise control by operators and preventing energy waste due to overheating. Valves on the conveying pipe allow for flexible adjustment of the material conveying rate according to the cyclone separator's processing capacity, preventing equipment overload and energy loss due to excessive material intake. Furthermore, the heating shell is securely connected to the mounting frame via a connecting bracket, improving equipment stability and reducing equipment damage caused by loose components or vibration. Compared to traditional equipment, this device significantly reduces downtime for maintenance due to blockages, lowering not only labor costs and parts replacement expenses but also energy waste caused by downtime, resulting in a significant reduction in overall production costs from a long-term operational perspective.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] 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.

[0032] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a device for preventing cyclone separator blockage, characterized in that it includes a mounting bracket 1;

[0033] The upper end of the mounting frame 1 is fixedly installed with a storage tank 2. The top of the storage tank 2 is covered with a sealing cap 3. The top of the sealing cap 3 has an injection port 13 for material input.

[0034] The storage bin 2 is equipped with a crushing component 4 for crushing materials. A feeding hopper 5 is connected to the bottom of the storage bin 2, and a vibrating screen 8 for screening materials is installed between the two.

[0035] A heating component 6 is connected to the bottom of the hopper 5;

[0036] A conveying assembly 9 is installed at the lower end of the heating assembly 6;

[0037] A cyclone separator 12 is provided on one side of the conveying assembly 9, and one end of the cyclone separator 12 is connected to the conveying assembly 9 through the conveying pipe 10;

[0038] Large materials are pre-crushed by the crushing component 4, non-compliant materials are intercepted by the vibrating screen 8, and the heating component 6 reduces the moisture content of the materials. The synergistic effect of multiple structures prevents the cyclone separator 12 from becoming clogged.

[0039] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the crushing assembly 4 includes a rotating shaft 401 rotatably installed inside the storage tank 2, and multiple sets of crushing blades 402 for crushing materials are welded to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 401.

[0040] A driven gear 403 is connected to the end of the rotating shaft 401. A transmission gear 404 is meshed with one side of the driven gear 403. A rotary motor 405 is provided on one side of the transmission gear 404. A connecting shaft 406 is connected to the output end of the rotary motor 405. The other end of the connecting shaft 406 is fixedly connected to the transmission gear 404.

[0041] The rotating motor 405 drives the transmission gear 404 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 401 and the crushing blade 402 to rotate via the driven gear 403, thereby achieving efficient crushing of the material in the storage hopper 2 and preventing large pieces of material from entering subsequent stages and causing blockages.

[0042] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the heating assembly 6 includes a heating shell 601 disposed at the lower port of the hopper 5, a heating diaphragm 602 installed inside the heating shell 601, and a discharge port 603 through the bottom of the heating shell 601. The heating diaphragm 602 heats and dries the material conveyed by the hopper 5 to reduce the stickiness of the material.

[0043] In addition, a temperature sensor is embedded inside the heating shell 601, and a display screen 604 is embedded outside the heating shell 601, which is electrically connected to the temperature sensor, so that the staff can quickly observe the stability inside the heating shell 601.

[0044] The conveying assembly 9 includes a conveying shell 901 connected to the discharge port 603. A spiral conveying bucket 902 is provided inside the conveying shell 901. One end of the spiral conveying bucket 902 is connected to a drive motor 903, and the other end of the conveying shell 901 is provided with a feeding port 904.

[0045] Driven by the drive motor 903, the screw conveyor 902 stably conveys the material to the feed port 904, reducing the conveying blockage problem caused by material agglomeration.

[0046] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the heating shell 601 is externally fixedly connected to multiple sets of connecting brackets 7, which are welded and fixed to the mounting bracket 1. The connection stability between the heating component 6 and the mounting bracket 1 is enhanced by setting the connecting brackets 7.

[0047] A valve 11 for controlling the amount of material conveyed is installed on the conveying pipe 10. By setting the valve 11, the material conveying speed can be adjusted according to the processing capacity of the cyclone separator 12, and blockage caused by excessive material entry can be further avoided.

[0048] Working principle: This equipment is a device to prevent cyclone separator clogging. In use, first, the material to be processed is fed into the storage tank 2 through the feeding port 13 at the top of the sealing cover 3, and then the dust cover of the feeding port 13 is closed. Next, the rotary motor 405 of the crushing component 4 is turned on. The motor drives the transmission gear 404 to rotate through the connecting shaft 406. The meshing driven gear 403 drives the rotating shaft 401 to rotate at high speed. The crushing blades 402 on the shaft crush the material, breaking down large pieces into fine particles.

[0049] The crushed material falls to the bottom of the storage hopper 2. The vibrating screen 8 is then activated to screen the material through high-frequency vibration. Material that meets the particle size requirements passes through the screen and enters the feed hopper 5, while larger particles that do not pass through are intercepted on the screen surface and cleaned up and recycled after processing.

[0050] The material enters the heating shell 601 of the heating assembly 6 through the hopper 5. The heating diaphragm 602 is activated, and the temperature inside the shell is monitored by a temperature sensor. The heating status is displayed in real time on the display screen 604. The material is heated to the set temperature to reduce humidity and prevent agglomeration. The dried material enters the conveying assembly 9 through the discharge port 603 at the bottom of the heating shell 601.

[0051] Start the drive motor 903 of the conveying assembly 9 to drive the spiral conveying bucket 902 inside the conveying shell 901 to rotate, and smoothly push the material to the feeding port 904 at the other end of the conveying shell 901. Open the valve 11 on the conveying pipe 10 and adjust the opening of the valve 11 according to the processing capacity of the cyclone separator 12 to control the material conveying volume.

[0052] The material enters the cyclone separator 12 through the conveying pipe 10, where gas-solid separation is achieved under centrifugal force. Throughout the operation, the crushing speed, heating temperature, and conveying rate can be adjusted as needed by observing the operating parameters of each component. After processing, the heating component 6, crushing component 4, conveying component 9, and vibrating screen are turned off in sequence, the main power supply is turned off, and the residual material inside the device is cleaned, completing one operation cycle.

[0053] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model without departing from the technical solution of this utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
