Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of graphite absorber technology, specifically to a graphite absorber liquid film thickness adjustment device. Background Technology
[0002] Graphite absorbers are high-efficiency mass transfer devices using graphite as the core material, widely used in gas-liquid absorption or separation processes in chemical, pharmaceutical, and environmental protection industries. The main body is made of graphite blocks impregnated with impermeable resin, exhibiting excellent corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity, and can withstand various strong acids, strong alkalis, and organic solvents. The internal structure employs a specially designed pore structure to increase the contact area, promote thorough gas-liquid mixing, and achieve efficient mass transfer. It is commonly used for absorbing acidic gases, recovering organic solvents, or purifying exhaust gases. Compared to metal equipment, graphite absorbers are lightweight, have good thermal shock resistance, low maintenance costs, and pose no risk of secondary pollution, making them an ideal choice for treating corrosive media.
[0003] Utility model patent CN217844852U discloses a high-efficiency graphite absorber, including a graphite absorber body with an external heat insulation structure. A water inlet is fixed to the top of one side of the graphite absorber body, and a top shell with an opening / closing structure is fixed to the top of the top shell. An air inlet is fixed to one side of the top shell. Heat exchange tubes are installed inside the graphite absorber body. Sealing gaskets are installed at the water inlet, air inlet, water outlet, and air outlet. A limiting strip is fixed to one side of each sealing gasket. This utility model, through its sealing structure, allows for sealing connections. By removing the sealing gaskets, the limiting strips are sequentially inserted into the pre-reserved grooves. When connected to the inlet and outlet, the outer pipe fits tightly against the sealing gaskets. The sealing gaskets improve the sealing performance at the interface, thereby reducing leakage.
[0004] However, common methods often employ a single or multiple-hole top inlet for liquid intake, relying on gravity to allow the absorbent liquid to flow naturally along the graphite surface to form a liquid film. This liquid film is prone to localized over-thickness or under-thinness. Therefore, a graphite absorber liquid film thickness adjustment device is proposed to address the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a graphite absorber liquid film thickness adjustment device, which has the advantages of adjusting the liquid film thickness as needed, and solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A graphite absorber liquid film thickness adjustment device includes a graphite absorber body. Five adjusting beams are fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the graphite absorber body. An adjustment channel is provided between two of the adjusting beams. An adjustment groove is opened on one side of the adjusting beam, and a thickness adjustment component is provided in the adjustment groove.
[0008] The thickness adjustment assembly includes an adjustment block that is slidably installed inside the adjustment groove. A connecting rod is fixedly installed on one side of the adjustment block, and two adjacent adjustment blocks are fixedly connected by the connecting rod. An adjustment electric cylinder is fixedly installed on one side of the graphite absorber body, and the movable end of the adjustment electric cylinder is fixedly connected to one end of the rightmost connecting rod.
[0009] Furthermore, a guide block is fixedly installed on the top of the adjusting beam, and the top of the guide block is inclined toward the adjusting channel side.
[0010] Furthermore, a distribution block is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the graphite absorber body, the distribution block is adapted to the adjusting crossbeam, and a distribution channel is provided between the two adjusting crossbeams.
[0011] Furthermore, five spray pipes are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the graphite absorber body, and five nozzles are fixedly installed at the bottom of the spray pipes, with the nozzles aligned with the guide block.
[0012] Furthermore, an inlet pipe is fixedly installed at one end of the spray pipe extending to the outside of the graphite absorber body, and a drain pipe is fixedly installed at the bottom of the graphite absorber body.
[0013] Furthermore, an air inlet pipe is fixedly installed on the side of the graphite absorber body near the bottom, and an exhaust pipe is fixedly installed on the top of the graphite absorber body.
[0014] Furthermore, a support leg is fixedly installed at the bottom of the graphite absorber body, and a base plate is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the support leg.
[0015] Furthermore, sealing strips are fixedly installed at the top and bottom of the adjusting block, and the sealing strips are in contact with the adjusting groove. A sealing ring is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the through hole through which the adjusting beam is passed by the connecting rod.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a graphite absorber liquid film thickness adjustment device, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] This graphite absorber liquid film thickness adjustment device uses an adjusting crossbeam inside the graphite absorber body. Liquid flows down through the adjusting channel between the adjusting crossbeams. The adjusting electric cylinder drives the connecting rod to move, which in turn moves the adjusting block, changing the width of the adjusting channel and adjusting the liquid film thickness. This solves the common problem of liquid film formation when using single or multiple holes at the top and relying on gravity to allow the absorbent liquid to flow naturally along the graphite surface, resulting in localized areas that are too thick or too thin.
