Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of adsorption equipment technology, and more specifically, to an integrated adsorption tank. Background Technology
[0002] In the process of drying gases in a dryer, adsorption tanks are widely used as a common air drying device to remove moisture from the air. However, existing adsorption tank structures have many problems. In existing adsorption tanks, the adsorbent is usually simply placed inside the tank without effective fixation measures. During use, the adsorbent is prone to accumulation and displacement. Over time, the adsorbent tends to concentrate on one side of the tank, leading to reduced adsorbent utilization. Moreover, when the adsorption tank is subjected to vibration or movement, this uneven distribution of the adsorbent becomes more severe, further affecting adsorption performance.
[0003] In addition, replacing the adsorbent is also quite inconvenient. When the adsorbent in a traditional adsorption tank reaches saturation and needs to be replaced, due to its unreasonable structural design, it is difficult to completely remove the old adsorbent. At the same time, it is also difficult to ensure the uniformity of the filling of the new adsorbent. This not only increases maintenance costs and time, but may also affect the subsequent use of the adsorption tank due to improper filling of the adsorbent. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an integrated adsorption tank.
[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is:
[0006] An integrated adsorption tank includes: a tank body, a closed end plate at the top of the tank body having multiple first air holes, and a lower end cap having multiple second air holes connected to the opening at the bottom of the tank body; an upper partition and a lower partition inside the tank body, with an adsorbent filled in the drying zone formed between the upper and lower partitions; the top of the upper partition abuts against the lower surface of the closed end plate, and the bottom of the lower partition abuts against the lower end cap through an elastic tensioning member.
[0007] Furthermore, the upper partition mesh is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the closed end plate, and the lower partition mesh is sealed and slidably fitted onto the inner wall of the barrel; both the upper and lower partition meshes are stainless steel metal filter meshes or ceramic microporous filter plates.
[0008] Furthermore, an upper O-ring is installed in the upper annular groove on the outer side of the lower end cap to seal against the inner wall of the barrel.
[0009] Furthermore, the elastic tensioning element includes: a compression spring, one end of which is fixed to the lower partition mesh, and the other end of which is fixed to an annular groove on the upper surface of the lower end cover.
[0010] Furthermore, the integrated adsorption tank further includes: a hollow tube that slides sequentially from top to bottom within the vertical hole of the closed end plate, the upper partition, the lower partition, and the lower end cover; two limiting clamps are connected to the hollow tube, and the two limiting clamps are respectively clamped on the upper surface of the closed end plate and the lower surface of the lower end cover.
[0011] Furthermore, the compression spring is sleeved on the outside of the hollow tube.
[0012] Furthermore, the integrated adsorption tank further includes: a closed-top, open-bottom outer shell, the bottom of which is connected to a base; the tank body and the lower end cap are both connected to the mounting cavity of the outer shell, and the bottom of the hollow tube is sealed and connected to the exhaust port in the center of the base; the air inlet cavity formed between the lower end cap and the base is connected to the air inlet provided on the base; the air outlet cavity formed between the upper part of the closed end plate of the tank body and the closed end of the top of the outer shell is connected to the exhaust port through the exhaust channel in the center of the hollow tube.
[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the outer casing is threaded into the mounting port of the housing, and the rubber sealing ring in the annular groove on the outer wall of the outer casing is tightly fitted onto the inner wall of the mounting port of the housing.
[0014] Furthermore, both the outer shell and the barrel are cylindrical shells with diameters gradually decreasing from bottom to top. The diameter of the top of the outer shell is smaller than the diameter of the closed end plate of the barrel. The top of the barrel is interference-fitted onto the inner wall of the outer shell. A retaining ring for sealing and locking onto the lower surface of the lower end cover is installed in the annular groove on the inner wall of the outer shell.
[0015] Furthermore, a lower O-ring is installed in the lower annular groove on the outer surface of the lower end cover for sealing against the inner wall of the outer casing.
[0016] As can be seen from the above solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] This invention discloses an integrated adsorption tank in which an upper and lower partition mesh are installed inside the tank, forming a drying zone between them for filling with adsorbent. The top of the upper partition mesh abuts against the lower surface of the closed end plate, while the bottom of the lower partition mesh abuts against the lower end cap via an elastic tensioning element. This effectively fixes the adsorbent, preventing accumulation or displacement during use, ensuring uniform distribution of the adsorbent, and improving its utilization rate. Simultaneously, this structure facilitates adsorbent replacement, allowing for complete removal of the old adsorbent, better meeting practical application needs.

[0032] Example 1
[0033] Please see Figures 1-9 This utility model provides an integrated adsorption bucket, comprising: a bucket body 1, a plurality of first air holes 3 on a closed end plate 2 at the top of the bucket body 1, and a lower end cover 5 with a plurality of second air holes 4 connected to the opening at the bottom of the bucket body 1; an upper partition 6 and a lower partition 7 are provided inside the bucket body 1, and an adsorbent is filled in the drying zone formed between the upper partition 6 and the lower partition 7; the top of the upper partition 6 abuts against the lower surface of the closed end plate 2, and the bottom of the lower partition 7 abuts against the lower end cover 5 through an elastic tensioning member.
[0034] The working principle and technical effects of the above technical solution are as follows:
[0035] This utility model discloses an integrated adsorption tank. In use, firstly, the upper partition 6 is installed inside the tank body 1, with the upper partition 6 abutting against the closed end plate 2. Then, adsorbent is filled into the tank body 1. When the amount of adsorbent reaches a preset level, the lower partition 7 is installed into the tank body 1, and the lower end cap 5 is connected to the opening of the tank body 1, completing the installation of this utility model. Its installation and disassembly are very convenient, facilitating the replacement of the internal adsorbent. During adsorption and dehumidification, gas is controlled to enter the tank body 1 through multiple second air holes 4 of the lower end cap 5. The gas passes through the lower partition 7 into the drying zone formed between the upper partition 6 and the lower partition 7, and comes into contact with the adsorbent in the drying zone, undergoing adsorption and dehumidification. After dehumidification, the gas passes through the upper partition 6 and is discharged through multiple first air holes 3 on the closed end plate 2, completing the adsorption and dehumidification work. In this utility model, the bottom of the lower partition 7... The adsorbent is engaged with the lower end cover 5 by an elastic tensioning element, which includes a compression spring 8. One end of the compression spring 8 is fixed to the lower partition 7, and the other end is fixed to an annular groove on the upper surface of the lower end cover 5. During daily use, the adsorption tank may be subjected to various vibrations and shaking, such as vibrations generated during handling, transportation, or equipment operation. Without elastic cushioning, the adsorbent is prone to accumulate on one side or at the bottom of the tank 1 under vibration, resulting in excessive concentration of adsorbent in some areas while other areas lack adsorbent. The elastic cushioning provided by the compression spring 8 can effectively reduce the impact of vibration on the adsorbent, allowing the adsorbent to be evenly distributed in the drying area, ensuring that each part can fully exert its adsorption function and improving the overall adsorption efficiency. The compression spring 8 ensures that the lower partition always maintains a certain pressure on the adsorbent, ensuring the tightness of the adsorbent filling. When the adsorption tank is subjected to external impact, the elastic tensioning element can absorb and disperse the impact force, preventing the lower partition from directly transmitting the impact force to the adsorbent. The presence of the elastic tensioning element reduces rigid friction between the lower separator and the adsorbent, lowering the probability of adsorbent pulverization and ensuring stable adsorbent quality and performance. During adsorbent replacement, the elasticity of the tensioning element ensures relatively uniform and moderate contact force between the lower separator and the adsorbent. When removing the old adsorbent, it is not difficult to remove due to excessive compression between the adsorbent and the separator. The adsorbent can be more easily poured out or cleaned from the drying zone, improving the efficiency of adsorbent replacement. When loading new adsorbent, the elastic tensioning element adapts to changes in the amount and state of the adsorbent. During the new adsorbent loading process, the lower separator automatically adjusts its position and pressure under the action of the elastic tensioning element, ensuring that the adsorbent is evenly filled in the drying zone and avoiding uneven loading.
[0036] The upper mesh 6 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the closed end plate 2, and the lower mesh 7 is slidably fitted onto the inner wall of the barrel 1; both the upper mesh 6 and the lower mesh 7 are stainless steel metal filter screens or ceramic microporous filter plates. The structure of the upper mesh 6 and the lower mesh 7 is stable, ensuring good operational stability.
[0037] An upper O-ring is installed in the upper annular groove on the outer side of the lower end cover 5 to seal against the inner wall of the barrel 1. The upper O-ring seals the lower end cover 5 and the barrel 1 to prevent gas leakage from affecting the adsorption effect.
[0038] Example 2
[0039] Please see Figures 1-9 The integrated adsorption tank further includes: a hollow tube 9 that slides sequentially from top to bottom within the vertical holes of the closed end plate 2, upper partition 6, lower partition 7, and lower end cover 5; two limiting clamps 10 are connected to the hollow tube 9, and the two limiting clamps 10 are respectively clamped on the upper surface of the closed end plate 2 and the lower surface of the lower end cover 5. A compression spring 8 is sleeved on the outside of the hollow tube 9.
[0040] The working principle and technical effects of the above technical solution are as follows:
[0041] In this integrated adsorption tank, the hollow tube 9, which slides through the vertical hole of the closed end plate 2, the upper partition 6, the lower partition 7, and the lower end cover 5, improves the stability and positional accuracy of the upper partition 6, the lower partition 7, and the lower end cover 5. In particular, it prevents the upper partition 6 and the lower partition 7 from shifting, ensuring the stability of the adsorbent position. Furthermore, two limiting clamps 10 are connected to the hollow tube 9, which are respectively clamped on the upper surface of the closed end plate 2 and the lower surface of the lower end cover 5. This structure facilitates disassembly and installation, making this integrated adsorption tank highly practical.
[0042] Example 3
[0043] Please see Figures 1-9 The integrated adsorption tank further includes: a top-closed, bottom-open outer shell 11, the bottom of which is connected to a base 12; the tank body 1 and the lower end cap 5 are both connected to the mounting cavity of the outer shell 11; the bottom of the hollow tube 9 is sealed and connected to the exhaust port 13 at the center of the base 12; the air inlet cavity formed between the lower end cap 5 and the base 12 communicates with the air inlet 14 provided on the base 12; the air outlet cavity formed between the upper part of the closed end plate 2 of the tank body 1 and the top closed end of the outer shell 11 communicates with the exhaust port 13 through the exhaust channel at the center of the hollow tube 9. The bottom of the outer shell 11 is threadedly connected to the mounting port of the base 12, and the rubber sealing ring in the annular groove on the outer wall of the outer shell 11 is tightly sealed to the inner wall surface of the mounting port of the base 12.
[0044] The working principle and technical effects of the above technical solution are as follows:
[0045] In this integrated adsorption tank, gas enters the air inlet 14 provided on the shell 12 and enters the air inlet cavity formed between the lower end cover 5 and the shell 12. After drying, the gas enters the drying area of the tank body 1 through multiple second air holes 4 of the lower end cover 5. After drying, the gas enters the air outlet cavity formed between the upper part of the closed end plate 2 and the top closed end of the outer shell 11 through multiple first air holes 3 on the closed end plate 2. The gas in the air outlet cavity can enter the exhaust port 13 through the exhaust channel in the center of the hollow tube 9 and be output through the exhaust port 13.
[0046] In this invention, the bottom of the outer shell 11 is threaded into the mounting port of the housing 12, and a rubber sealing ring is provided in the annular groove on the outer wall of the outer shell 11, sealing it tightly against the inner wall of the mounting port. This double-sealing structure effectively prevents gas leakage, ensuring that the gas flows along a predetermined path within the adsorption tank, thus improving the working efficiency and reliability of the adsorption tank. If the seal is not tight, gas may leak from the connection, causing some gas to be discharged without adsorption treatment, affecting the drying effect. The clearly defined gas flow path design in this invention allows the gas to fully contact the adsorbent, improving adsorption efficiency. Compared to some adsorption devices with unclear gas flow paths, this adsorption tank can more effectively remove moisture or other impurities from the gas.
[0047] Example 4
[0048] Please see Figures 1-9 In the integrated adsorption tank, both the outer shell 11 and the tank body 1 are cylindrical shells with diameters gradually decreasing from bottom to top. The diameter of the top end of the outer shell 11 is smaller than the diameter of the closed end plate 2 of the tank body 1. The top of the tank body 1 is interference-fitted onto the inner wall of the outer shell 11. A retaining ring 15 for sealing and locking onto the lower surface of the lower end cover 5 is installed in the annular groove on the inner wall of the outer shell 11. A lower O-ring for sealing and sealing onto the inner wall of the outer shell 11 is installed in the lower annular groove on the outer surface of the lower end cover 5.
[0049] The working principle and technical effects of the above technical solution are as follows:
[0050] Both the outer shell 11 and the barrel 1 are designed as cylindrical shells with diameters gradually decreasing from bottom to top. This special shape design allows the top of the barrel 1 to form an interference fit with the inner wall of the outer shell 11. When the barrel 1 is installed inside the outer shell 11, because the diameter of the top of the outer shell 11 is smaller than the diameter of the closed end plate 2 of the barrel 1, the top of the barrel 1 will be subjected to a certain amount of compression when inserted into the outer shell 11, thus tightly fitting against the inner wall surface of the outer shell 11, achieving a stable connection between the two. A retaining ring 15 is installed in the annular groove on the inner wall of the outer shell 11, and the retaining ring 15 is sealed and locked onto the lower surface of the lower end cover 5. After the barrel 1 is installed in place, the retaining ring 15 can position and fix the lower end cover 5, preventing the barrel 1 from moving up and down or shaking inside the outer shell 11, ensuring the stability of the entire adsorption barrel structure. A lower O-ring is installed in the lower annular groove on the outer surface of the lower end cover 5, and this sealing ring is tightly fitted against the inner wall surface of the outer shell 11. When the lower end cap 5 is fitted with the inner wall of the outer shell 11, the lower O-ring seal is compressed and deformed, filling the gap between the lower end cap 5 and the inner wall of the outer shell 11, thereby preventing gas leakage from the gap and ensuring the sealing of the gas flow path inside the adsorption tank. Based on the above structural fit, the gas enters the air inlet chamber formed between the lower end cap 5 and the shell 12 from the air inlet 14 on the shell base 12, and then enters the drying area of the tank 1 through multiple second air holes 4 of the lower end cap 5 for drying. Because there are good sealing structures between the tank 1 and the outer shell 11, and between the lower end cap 5 and the outer shell 11, the gas can only follow a predetermined path, entering the air outlet chamber formed between the upper part of the closed end plate 2 and the top closed end of the outer shell 11 through multiple first air holes 3 on the closed end plate 2, and finally exiting from the exhaust port 13 through the exhaust channel in the center of the hollow tube 9. The excellent sealing performance allows the gas entering the adsorption tank to fully contact the adsorbent in the drying zone, avoiding the problem of gas being discharged before it has been fully adsorbed. This improves the adsorbent's adsorption effect on moisture or other impurities in the gas and ensures the quality of the output gas.
[0051] The interference fit between the top of the barrel 1 and the inner wall of the outer shell 11, along with the locking action of the retaining ring 15 on the lower end cap 5, ensures that the barrel 1 is securely installed inside the outer shell 11, enhancing the structural stability of the entire adsorption barrel. During use, even under vibration or external impact, the barrel 1 will not easily shift or loosen, guaranteeing its normal operation. The retaining ring 15 provides accurate positioning for the barrel 1, ensuring it is in the correct position within the outer shell 11. This results in more precise fit between components, facilitating smooth gas flow and stable adsorption performance.
