Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of light soda ash production technology, and in particular to a light soda ash cooling device. Background Technology

[0002] Light soda ash is usually produced at high temperatures. If it is not cooled down in time, the soda ash particles may stick together and clump together due to the high temperature, which will affect the quality of the product and its subsequent use, transportation and storage. Therefore, a light soda ash cooling device is needed to cool the light soda ash.

[0003] However, when in use, the existing equipment does not have the effect of circulating and turning the high-temperature soda ash. The soda ash can only rely on natural convection and conduction for heat exchange. The high-temperature soda ash is concentrated at the bottom or in a local area and cannot come into full contact with the cold air in time, resulting in a slow cooling rate and thus affecting production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a lightweight soda ash cooling device. A fan blade, in conjunction with a semiconductor cooling plate, blows cold air into the tank. Then, an arc-shaped scraper on the outside of the sleeve pushes the material at the bottom of the tank towards the center of the sleeve. An auger draws the material upwards into the sleeve, and then discharges it from the outlet at the top of the sleeve, spraying it back into the tank. As the high-temperature soda ash falls, the blades also agitate the material in the air. By drawing in, spraying out, and agitating the soda ash, the contact area and contact time between the soda ash and the cold air are increased, resulting in more thorough heat exchange and a rapid reduction in the soda ash temperature. Furthermore, the auger draws the high-temperature soda ash from the bottom of the tank into the sleeve and discharges it from the top outlet, creating a circulating flow of soda ash. New high-temperature soda ash continuously enters the cooling area, and through multiple cycles, rapid overall cooling is achieved.

[0005] This utility model also provides a light soda ash cooling device, comprising: a tank body, an exhaust port on the tank body, a feed pipe connected to the side surface of the tank body, a sleeve rotatably connected to the upper inner wall of the tank body, an outlet on the sleeve, multiple blades fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sleeve, multiple scrapers fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sleeve, the scrapers being arc-shaped and rotatably connected to the lower inner wall of the tank body, an auger rotatably connected to the lower inner wall of the tank body, the auger being rotatably connected inside the sleeve, an air inlet pipe penetrating the side surface of the tank body, a connecting frame fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air inlet pipe, a motor fixedly connected to the inner surface of the connecting frame, a fan blade fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, a semiconductor cooling plate fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air inlet pipe, and a protective mesh fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air inlet pipe.

[0006] According to the present invention, a light soda ash cooling device is provided, wherein a motor is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the tank, and the sleeve is driven to rotate by the motor.

[0007] According to the present invention, a light soda ash cooling device is provided, wherein a second motor is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the tank, and the auger is driven by the second motor.

[0008] According to the present invention, a cooling device for light soda ash is provided, wherein the lower surface of the tank is connected to a discharge pipe, and the inner wall of the discharge pipe is threaded with a sealing plug.

[0009] According to the present invention, a cooling device for light soda ash is provided, wherein a support leg is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the tank, and a rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the support leg.

[0010] According to the present invention, a light soda ash cooling device is provided, wherein a bracket is fixedly connected to the side surface of the rotating shaft, and a rotating wheel is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the bracket.

[0011] According to the present invention, a light soda ash cooling device is provided, wherein the other end of the feed pipe is connected to a feed hopper, and a protective cover is movably connected to the upper surface of the feed hopper.

[0012] According to the present invention, a lightweight soda ash cooling device is provided, wherein a handle is fixedly connected to the side surface of the tank, and a protective sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the handle.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, this lightweight soda ash cooling device uses fan blades and a semiconductor cooling plate to blow cold air into the tank. Then, an arc-shaped scraper on the outside of the sleeve pushes the material at the bottom of the tank towards the center of the sleeve. An auger draws the material upwards into the sleeve, and then discharges it from the outlet at the top of the sleeve, splashing it back into the tank. As the high-temperature soda ash falls, the blades also agitate the material in the air. This process of drawing in, splashing out, and agitating the soda ash increases the contact area and time between the soda ash and the cold air, resulting in more thorough heat exchange and a rapid reduction in temperature. Furthermore, the auger draws the high-temperature soda ash from the bottom of the tank into the sleeve and discharges it from the top outlet, creating a continuous circulation of high-temperature soda ash into the cooling zone. Through multiple cycles, rapid overall cooling is achieved. During this circulation process, any clumps of soda ash are broken up for use in bagging. Attached Figure Description

[0021] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a cooling device for lightweight soda ash, comprising: a tank 10, a handle 8 fixedly connected to the side surface of the tank 10, a protective sleeve 9 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the handle 8, a support leg 5 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the tank 10, a rotating shaft 6 rotatably connected to the lower surface of the support leg 5, a bracket 12 fixedly connected to the side surface of the rotating shaft 6, a rotating wheel 13 rotatably connected to the inner surface of the bracket 12, an exhaust hole 7 provided on the tank 10, a feed pipe 4 connected to the side surface of the tank 10, a feed hopper 3 connected to the other end of the feed pipe 4, a protective cover 2 movably connected to the upper surface of the feed hopper 3, and a discharge pipe 23 connected to the lower surface of the tank 10, with a sealing plug 24 threadedly connected to the inner wall of the discharge pipe 23.

[0023] Specifically: Open the cover 2 on the feed hopper 3, and the high-temperature light soda ash enters the tank 10 through the feed hopper 3 and the feed pipe 4. The cover 2 prevents impurities from entering the tank when not feeding, ensuring the quality of the soda ash. After the soda ash cools to a suitable temperature, unscrew the sealing plug 24 on the inner wall of the discharge pipe 23, and the cooled soda ash is discharged from the tank 10 through the discharge pipe 23.

[0024] A sleeve 19 is rotatably connected to the upper inner wall of the tank body 10. A motor 1 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the tank body 10. The sleeve 19 is driven to rotate by the motor 1. An outlet is provided on the sleeve 19. Multiple blades 20 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sleeve 19. Multiple scrapers 18 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sleeve 19. The scrapers 18 are arc-shaped and are rotatably connected to the lower inner wall of the tank body 10. An auger 22 is rotatably connected to the lower inner wall of the tank body 10. The auger 22 is rotatably connected to the inside of the sleeve 19. A motor 25 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the tank body 10. The auger 22 is driven by the motor 25.

[0025] Specifically: Motor 1 is started, driving the sleeve 19 to rotate inside the tank 10. Multiple blades 20 on the outer wall of the sleeve 19 rotate accordingly. When the high-temperature soda ash falls, the blades 20 agitate it, dispersing the soda ash in the air and increasing its contact area with the cold air. When the sleeve 19 rotates, multiple arc-shaped scrapers 18 fixed on its outer wall rotate on the lower inner wall of the tank 10. The scrapers 18 push the soda ash material at the bottom of the tank 10 toward the center, bringing it closer to the sleeve 19, preparing for the auger 22 to extract the material. Motor 25 is started, driving the auger 22 to rotate inside the sleeve 19. The auger 22 draws the high-temperature soda ash near the sleeve 19 upwards into the sleeve 19, and then discharges it from the outlet above the sleeve 19, causing the soda ash to be splashed back into the tank 10 from a height, forming a material circulation flow.

[0026] An air inlet pipe 11 is connected through the side surface of the tank body 10. A connecting frame 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air inlet pipe 11. A motor 16 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the connecting frame 15. A fan blade 17 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 16. A semiconductor cooling plate 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air inlet pipe 11. A protective net 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air inlet pipe 11.

[0027] Specifically: the motor 16 is started, which drives the fan blades 17 to rotate. At the same time, the semiconductor cooling plate 14 starts to work, cooling the surrounding air. The fan blades 17 blow the cooled air into the tank 10 through the air inlet pipe 11. The protective net 21 can prevent materials from entering the air inlet pipe 11, protecting the fan blades 17 and the semiconductor cooling plate 14. During the process of soda ash falling and being stirred, it comes into full contact with the blown-in cold air and exchanges heat, thereby reducing the temperature of soda ash. The continuous circulation and tumbling allows each part of soda ash to come into contact with the cold air multiple times, achieving rapid overall cooling.

[0028] Working principle: During use, open the cover 2 on the feed hopper 3. High-temperature light soda ash enters the tank 10 through the feed hopper 3 and feed pipe 4. Start motor 1 to drive the sleeve 19 to rotate inside the tank 10. When the sleeve 19 rotates, multiple arc-shaped scrapers 18 fixed on its outer wall rotate on the lower inner wall of the tank 10. The scrapers 18 push the soda ash material at the bottom of the tank 10 towards the center, bringing it closer to the sleeve 19, preparing for the auger 22 to extract the material. Start motor 25 to drive the auger 22 to rotate inside the sleeve 19. The auger 22 draws the high-temperature soda ash near the sleeve 19 upwards into the sleeve 19, and then discharges it from the outlet at the top of the sleeve 19, causing the soda ash to be splashed back into the tank 10 from a height, forming a material circulation flow. Multiple blades 20 on the outer wall of the tube 19 rotate with the tube 19. When the high-temperature soda ash falls, the blades 20 agitate it, dispersing the soda ash in the air and increasing its contact area with the cold air. The motor 16 is started, driving the fan blades 17 to rotate. At the same time, the semiconductor cooling plate 14 starts to work, cooling the surrounding air. The fan blades 17 blow the cooled air into the tank 10 through the air inlet pipe 11. The protective net 21 can prevent material from entering the air inlet pipe 11 and protect the fan blades 17 and the semiconductor cooling plate 14. During the falling and agitation of the soda ash, it comes into full contact with the blown-in cold air and exchanges heat, thereby reducing the temperature of the soda ash. The continuous circulation and tumbling allows each part of the soda ash to come into contact with the cold air multiple times, achieving rapid overall cooling.
