Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of acid mist purification devices, specifically an acid mist purification device for pickling units. Background Technology

[0002] Pickling of steel strip is a surface treatment process that removes iron oxide scale and impurities from the surface of hot-rolled steel strip using chemical acids, primarily hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, or mixed acid solutions. After hot rolling, a dense oxide layer (Fe2O3, Fe3O4, etc.) forms on the surface of the steel strip, affecting the quality of subsequent cold rolling or coating. During pickling, the steel strip, after being uncoiled and straightened, is immersed in a heated acid bath (50-80℃). The acid dissolves the oxide scale, while mechanical descaling or spraying enhances the peeling effect. After treatment, it undergoes multiple stages of rinsing to neutralize residual acid and is dried for rust prevention. This process significantly improves the cleanliness and smoothness of the steel strip surface, providing a good substrate for cold rolling. Acid mist is generated during pickling, and most existing acid mist treatments utilize acid mist purification devices.

[0003] For example, authorization announcement number CN115228253B discloses an acid mist purification system applied to pickling units, relating to the technical field of related equipment in annealing and pickling production lines. This invention, based on the real-time absorption of acid mist generated during the pickling of steel strips, recovers the acid mist, matches it with a suitable alkaline solution, and atomizes the alkaline solution to form alkaline mist. Furthermore, by setting up a swirl spray assembly, a steering assembly, and a drive assembly, the alkaline mist and acid mist are sprayed out in opposite directions, forming a swirling convection reaction layer. This increases the contact area and accelerates the acid-base neutralization reaction. Moreover, by sensing the status information during the reaction process in real time and dynamically processing the information, a dynamic acid mist purification process is achieved, making the purification process more intelligent, more efficient, reducing worker involvement, and protecting the health and safety of workers.

[0004] The above-mentioned technology uses alkaline mist and acid mist to be sprayed out in opposite directions to purify acid mist. However, the amount of alkaline mist and acid mist sprayed out is difficult to control. When the ratio of alkaline mist and acid mist is uneven, the purification is incomplete or alkaline mist is generated. Therefore, the market urgently needs to develop an acid mist purification device for pickling units to help people solve the existing problems. Utility Model Content

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides an embodiment of an acid mist purification device for a pickling unit, comprising a purification chamber 1. An exhaust pipe 101 is fixedly connected to one side of the upper end face of the purification chamber 1. Alkali injection pipes 102 and drain pipes 103 are fixedly connected to the lower ends of both sides of the purification chamber 1, respectively. Control valves 104 are fixedly connected to both the alkali injection pipes 102 and 103, allowing alkali to be injected into the purification chamber 1 through the alkali injection pipes 102. A dispersion plate 2 is fixedly connected to the lower middle part of the interior of the purification chamber 1. Multiple gas dispersion holes 201 are arrayed on the dispersion plate 2. A first limiting pipe 105 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper end face of the interior of the purification chamber 1. The dispersion plate 2 has a middle section... A second limiting tube 202 is fixedly connected, and a rotating air guide tube 3 is rotatably connected between the first limiting tube 105 and the second limiting tube 202. The lower end of the rotating air guide tube 3 extends through the interior of the second limiting tube 202 and out to the lower end face of the dispersion plate 2. A drive box 4 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the purification box 1, and an acid mist conveying pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the drive box 4. The acid mist generated by the pickling unit is conveyed through the acid mist conveying pipe 5 to the lower end of the dispersion plate 2 inside the purification box 1 via the rotating air guide tube 3. The acid mist gas is dispersed through multiple gas dispersion holes 201 on the dispersion plate 2, so that the acid mist and alkali solution can fully contact each other for neutralization and purification. The treated gas is discharged through the exhaust pipe 101.

[0024] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The upper end of the rotating air guide pipe 3 passes through the first limiting pipe 105 and extends into the drive box 4. The lower end of the acid mist conveying pipe 5 extends into the drive box 4 and is connected to the upper end of the rotating air guide pipe 3 through a rotary joint 501, allowing the rotating air guide pipe 3 to rotate through the rotary joint 501. A first fixing ring 301 is fixedly connected to the rotating air guide pipe 3 at the upper end of the dispersion plate 2. A first stirring rod 302 is fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the first fixing ring 301. A second fixing ring 303 is fixedly connected to the rotating air guide pipe 3 at the lower end of the dispersion plate 2. The two fixed rings 303 are fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the first stirring rod 302 and the second stirring rod 304. When the rotating air guide tube 3 rotates, it drives the first stirring rod 302 and the second stirring rod 304 to rotate simultaneously. The second stirring rod 304 initially disperses the acid mist entering the lower end of the dispersion plate 2. The initially dispersed acid mist is then dispersed again through the gas dispersion holes 201 on the dispersion plate 2, so that the acid mist is fully dispersed and comes into contact with the alkaline solution. The first stirring rod 302 stirs the alkaline solution at the upper end of the dispersion plate 2, so that the fully dispersed acid mist comes into full contact with the alkaline solution, thereby improving the purification efficiency.

[0025] Please see Figure 4A drive motor 401 is fixedly connected to one side inside the drive box 4. A second conical tooth 402 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 401. A first conical tooth 305 is fixedly connected to the rotating air pipe 3 at the lower end of the rotary joint 501. The second conical tooth 402 meshes with the tooth of the first conical tooth 305. The drive motor 401 drives the rotating air pipe 3 to rotate.

[0026] Please see Figure 2 A pH meter 6 is fixedly installed at the lower middle part of one side end face of the purification box 1. A detection head 601 is connected to the lower end of the pH meter 6. The detection head 601 extends through the side end face of the purification box 1 into the interior of the purification box 1. The pH of the alkaline solution inside the purification box 1 is detected by the pH meter 6 and the detection head 601. When the pH of the alkaline solution tends to be neutral, the acid mist delivery is stopped, and the alkaline solution is discharged through the drain pipe 103 by the control valve 104. The alkaline solution is then refilled through the alkaline solution filling pipe 102.

[0027] Working Principle: In operation, an appropriate amount of alkaline solution is first injected into the purification tank 1 through the alkaline solution injection pipe 102, and the drain pipe 103 is closed through the control valve 104. The acid mist generated by the pickling unit is transported to the rotating air guide pipe 3 via the acid mist conveying pipe 5. The drive motor 401, through the meshing of the second conical tooth 402 and the first conical tooth 305, drives the rotating air guide pipe 3 to rotate, causing the acid mist to be ejected from the lower end of the rotating air guide pipe 3. The rotating second stirring rod 304 initially disperses the ejected acid mist, which is then further dispersed through the gas dispersion holes 201 on the dispersion plate 2, forming fine bubbles. Simultaneously, the rotating first stirring rod 302 agitates the alkaline solution above, promoting full contact and reaction between the acid mist bubbles and the alkaline solution. The acid-base meter 6 monitors the pH value of the alkaline solution in real time through the detection head 601. When the pH value approaches neutral, the system stops the acid mist input, opens the drain pipe 103 to discharge the waste liquid, and refills with fresh alkaline solution, achieving continuous purification operation. The purified gas is discharged through exhaust pipe 101, completing the acid mist neutralization treatment.

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.
