Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of de-icing agent production technology, specifically relating to a de-icing agent granulator. Background Technology
[0002] A de-icing agent granulator is a key piece of equipment used to process de-icing agent raw materials into granules, and is widely used in winter road snow removal, airport runway de-icing, and other fields. During the production and processing of de-icing agents, to ensure thorough mixing of the raw materials, some of the raw materials generally need to be heated and melted before mixing and granulation. After production and processing, to ensure the hardness of the de-icing agent granules, the freshly produced granules usually need to be dried to improve their storage performance.
[0003] However, after drying, the de-icing agent granules often lose a large amount of heat directly into the environment and cannot be reused, which not only wastes energy but also does not conform to the environmental protection concept of energy conservation and emission reduction.
[0004] Therefore, in order to address the aforementioned technical problems, it is necessary to provide a snow-melting agent granulator. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a snow melting agent granulator that can solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by a specific embodiment of this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A de-icing agent granulator includes a granulator body, which comprises a raw material processing and mixing device for mixing raw materials, a granulation device for direct granulation, and a discharge pipe for discharging de-icing agent particles. A drying mechanism is installed within the granulation device. A heat-conducting mechanism is installed between the discharge pipe and the raw material processing and mixing device. The heat-conducting mechanism includes a heat-conducting component and a collecting component. The heat-conducting component includes an air pump. A first air inlet pipe is installed at the air pump's suction end. A second air inlet pipe is connected to the end of the first air inlet pipe away from the air pump. The collecting component is installed at the connection between the first and second air inlet pipes. The end of the second air inlet pipe away from the collecting component is connected to the discharge pipe. An exhaust pipe is installed at the air pump's outlet end. The end of the exhaust pipe away from the air pump is connected to the raw material processing and mixing device.
[0008] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the collection component includes a collection box containing clean water. The collection box is connected to a first air inlet pipe and a second air inlet pipe. A first baffle is installed between the first air inlet pipe and the second air inlet pipe. A plurality of first filter holes are evenly opened on the first baffle. The first baffle is hinged inside the collection box. A vibration component matching the first baffle is installed inside the collection box.
[0009] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the vibration assembly includes a fan blade capable of intermittently pushing a first baffle, the fan blade being located between a second air inlet pipe and the first baffle, a pushing assembly capable of driving the first baffle being installed inside the collection box, and a spring matching the fan blade being installed between the first baffle and the inner wall of the collection box.
[0010] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the actuating component is a portion of the air blown out from the second air intake pipe.
[0011] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the first baffle is inclined.
[0012] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, a cleaning door is detachably installed on the collection box, a cleaning brush matching the first filter hole is slidably connected inside the first baffle, a sliding groove matching the cleaning brush is opened inside the first baffle, and the cleaning brush is hinged to one side of the cleaning door.

[0016] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the second baffle is a cone with the tip pointing downwards.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the de-icing agent granulator of this utility model can collect the heat lost by the de-icing agent granules when they are discharged from the discharge pipe and then transport it to the raw material processing step of the de-icing agent.

[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a de-icing agent granulator, comprising a granulator body 1. The granulator body 1 includes a raw material processing and mixing device 103 for mixing raw materials, a granulation device 102 for direct granulation, and a discharge pipe 101 for discharging de-icing agent granules. A drying mechanism is installed inside the granulation device 102. After the de-icing agent raw materials are heated, stirred, and mixed evenly in the raw material processing and mixing device 103, they enter the granulation device 102 for granulation. After granulation, they are dried by the drying mechanism and then discharged.
[0028] The drying mechanism is common knowledge to those in the field, so its specific structure, switching method and working principle will not be described in detail here.
[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, a heat-conducting mechanism is installed between the discharge pipe 101 and the raw material processing and mixing equipment 103. The heat-conducting component collects the heat lost by the dried de-icing agent particles and transports it to the raw material processing and mixing equipment 103 for reuse. This reduces the energy consumption of the raw material processing and mixing equipment 103 when heating the raw materials to a certain extent, reduces energy waste, and is more energy-efficient, emission-reducing, and environmentally friendly.
[0030] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the heat conduction mechanism includes a heat conduction component and a collection component. The heat conduction component includes an air pump 301. The air pump 301 has a first air inlet pipe 302 installed at its suction end. The end of the first air inlet pipe 302 away from the air pump 301 is connected to a second air inlet pipe 303. The collection component is installed at the connection between the first air inlet pipe 302 and the second air inlet pipe 303. The end of the second air inlet pipe 303 away from the collection component is connected to the discharge pipe 101. The air pump 301 has an exhaust pipe 304 installed at its outlet end. The end of the exhaust pipe 304 away from the air pump 301 is connected to the raw material processing and mixing equipment 103.
[0031] After the air pump 301 is started, the heat in the discharge pipe 101 is transferred to the raw material processing and mixing equipment 103 through the exhaust pipe 304 via the first air inlet pipe 302, the collection component, and the second air inlet pipe 303. The collection component collects the de-icing agent raw material powder that is transferred with the heat for reuse, while avoiding powder from entering the air pump 301 as much as possible, so as not to affect the service life of the air pump 301.
[0032] Air pump 301 can be selected from piston pumps and rotary vane pumps, and users can also choose different models according to actual market needs. Air pump 301 is electrically connected to an external power source, and since air pump 301 is common knowledge to those skilled in the art, its specific structure, switching method, and working principle will not be described in detail here.
[0033] like Figures 3-4 As shown, the collection assembly includes a collection box 401 filled with clean water. The collection box 401 is connected to a first air inlet pipe 302 and a second air inlet pipe 303. A first baffle 402 is installed between the first air inlet pipe 302 and the second air inlet pipe 303. The first baffle 402 has several first filter holes 4021 evenly distributed on it. The first baffle 402 is hinged inside the collection box 401. A vibration assembly matching the first baffle 402 is installed inside the collection box 401. Hot air and powder are simultaneously ejected from one end of the second air inlet pipe 303 near the first air inlet pipe 302. The hot air passes through the first baffle 402 and enters the first air inlet pipe 302, while the powder is blocked by the first baffle 402 and falls into the clean water in the collection box 401.
[0034] Clean water helps to concentrate dust, minimizing its entry into the first air inlet pipe 302. Simultaneously, hot air heats the water, allowing a small amount of water vapor to enter the raw material processing and mixing equipment 103. This counteracts the water vapor lost during heating in the equipment, ensuring the accuracy of the raw material's moisture content to some extent. The vibration component causes the first baffle 402 to vibrate, shaking off dust adhering to it and minimizing the risk of dust clogging the first filter holes 4021, thus preventing interference with the entry of hot air into the first air inlet pipe 302.
[0035] like Figures 3-5 As shown, the vibration assembly includes a fan blade 403 capable of intermittently pushing the first baffle 402. The fan blade 403 is located between the second air intake pipe 303 and the first baffle 402. A pushing assembly capable of driving the first baffle 402 is installed inside the collection box 401. A spring 404 matching the fan blade 403 is installed between the first baffle 402 and the inner wall of the collection box 401. When the fan blade 403 pushes the first baffle 402, the first baffle 402 swings to the right, and the spring 404 shortens. When the fan blade 403 rotates away from the first baffle 402, the spring 404 extends, causing the first baffle 402 to swing to the left, thus achieving the vibration of the first baffle 402.
[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, the driving component is a portion of the air blown out from the second air intake pipe 303. The hot air blown out from the second air intake pipe 303 drives the fan blades 403 to rotate, thereby driving the first baffle 402.
[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, the first barrier net 402 is set at an angle.
[0038] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a cleaning door 4011 is detachably installed on the collection box 401. A cleaning brush 405 matching the first filter hole 402 is slidably connected inside the first baffle 402. A sliding groove 406 matching the cleaning brush 405 is opened inside the first baffle 402. The cleaning brush 405 is hinged to one side of the cleaning door 4011. When the heat in the raw material processing and mixing equipment 103 decreases significantly, the operator uses the cleaning door 4011 to move the cleaning brush 405 outward. During the movement, the cleaning brush 405 removes the dust clogging the first filter hole 4021.
[0039] The cleaning door 4011 is made of acrylic sheet so that users can observe the dust collection situation inside the collection box 401 and clean it in a timely manner.
[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, a sealing ring 4012 is installed on the outer wall of the cleaning door 4011. The sealing ring 4012 improves the sealing degree of the collection box 401, and minimizes the leakage of dust and hot air from the connection between the cleaning door 4011 and the collection box 401.
[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, a second baffle 305 is installed at the end of the second air inlet pipe 303 away from the collecting assembly. The second baffle 305 is connected to the second air inlet pipe 303, and the second baffle 305 has several second filter holes 3051 that match the de-icing agent particles. When the second air inlet pipe 303 outputs heat from the discharge pipe 101, the second baffle 305 and the second filter holes 3051 can filter out de-icing agent particles of the correct size, thus not only completing heat transfer but also simultaneously screening the de-icing agent particles.
[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, the second baffle 305 is a cone shape with the tip pointing downwards. When a small amount of de-icing agent adheres to the surface of the second baffle 305, it is easier for it to fall off, thus avoiding the impact of de-icing agent particles on the heat transport to some extent.
[0043] During operation, when it is necessary to transfer the heat lost at the discharge pipe 101 to the raw material processing and mixing equipment 103 for secondary utilization, the air pump 301 is started. The air pump 301 transfers the residual hot air and dust from the de-icing agent particles into the raw material processing and mixing equipment 103 through the second air inlet pipe 303, the first air inlet pipe 302, and the exhaust pipe 304. This achieves full utilization of heat, reduces energy waste, is more environmentally friendly, and also reduces production costs to a certain extent.
[0044] During the heat transfer process, the air from the second air intake pipe 303 blows the fan blades 403. As the fan blades 403 rotate, they repeatedly push the first baffle 402. With the cooperation of the spring 404, the first baffle 402 vibrates, shaking off the dust attached to the first baffle 402 and minimizing the dust from clogging the first filter hole 4021.
[0045] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
[0046] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
