Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of activated carbon processing technology, and more specifically, to an activated carbon cooling device. Background Technology

[0002] Activated carbon is a porous carbon material that has undergone special processing (usually high-temperature activation, such as steam activation or chemical activation). It can be used to adsorb various impurity molecules. After the activated carbon is saturated with adsorption, it can usually be desorbed by heating or other methods to restore most of its adsorption capacity and achieve recycling. The activated carbon after thermal regeneration needs to be cooled.

[0003] Traditional activated carbon cooling devices rely on natural heat dissipation or simple air cooling, resulting in slow cooling rates, prolonged regeneration cycles, and limited heat exchange areas, easily creating cooling dead zones. During cooling, the activated carbon particles are tightly packed together, resulting in poor thermal conductivity and difficulty in heat transfer from the inside to the outside. Furthermore, the activated carbon pores contain saturated water vapor after thermal regeneration; if this vapor cannot dissipate, it will lead to moisture retention, activated carbon agglomeration, and corrosion. Existing cooling devices also have poor sealing at the feed inlet, allowing activated carbon to expand and escape with the hot air during cooling, resulting in the direct leakage of dust-laden waste gas, causing workshop pollution and raw material waste. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design an activated carbon cooling device to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides an activated carbon cooling device to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art, such as low cooling efficiency and poor sealing at the feed inlet of the existing activated carbon cooling device.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] An activated carbon cooling device includes a support column, a water-cooling circulation mechanism, an accelerated cooling mechanism, and a sealing mechanism. The water-cooling circulation mechanism includes a base, a cooling tank, a water storage tank, a connecting pipe, a circulation pipe, and branch pipes. The support column has a base on its upper end face, which is a hollow structure. The base has a water storage tank on its lower end face. Two sets of branch pipes are symmetrically arranged about the water storage tank. One end of each branch pipe is connected to the side wall of the water storage tank, and the other end is connected to the lower end face of the base. Two sets of circulation pipes are symmetrically arranged about the water storage tank. One end of each circulation pipe is connected to the side wall of the water storage tank and is located below the connecting pipe. The other end is connected to the outer wall of the cooling tank. Several branch pipes are arranged between the circulation pipe and the outer wall of the cooling tank. The cooling tank has an inner shell, and a hollow structure is formed between the inner shell and the inner side wall of the cooling tank.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that a first water pump is connected to one set of the connecting pipes, and a second water pump is connected to one set of the circulation pipes. The first water pump drives the water flow between the water storage tank and the base to circulate, and the second water pump drives the water flow between the cooling tank and the water storage tank to circulate. The dual water pumps forcefully drive the cooling water to circulate at high speed, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the water storage tank has an inlet pipe on one side and an outlet pipe on the other side. When coolant needs to be added, coolant is injected into the inlet pipe and discharged from the outlet pipe.

[0011] This invention is further configured such that the accelerated cooling mechanism includes a stirring tank, a motor, a rotating shaft, spiral stirring blades, and a heat dissipation assembly. The stirring tank is located at the center of the inner shell, and the motor is mounted on the upper surface of the stirring tank. The output end of the motor is connected to the rotating shaft, and the surface of the rotating shaft is provided with spiral stirring blades. The heat dissipation assembly is located on the upper surface of the stirring tank. The stirring assembly stirs the activated carbon, improving its thermal conductivity while preventing overheating in the central area, ensuring uniform cooling, and further improving cooling efficiency.

[0012] This invention is further configured such that the heat dissipation component includes a filter screen and a suction fan; a square groove is formed on the upper surface of the mixing tank; the suction fan is disposed within the square groove; and a filter screen is provided on the upper inner wall of the mixing tank, the filter screen being adapted to the square groove. The suction fan extracts the hot and humid air from the tank, preventing moisture condensation from causing activated carbon to clump; the filter screen intercepts activated carbon dust, preventing dust from escaping with the airflow and protecting the environment.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that a feed pipe is provided on the upper end face of the mixing tank, a sealing cap is provided on the upper end face of the feed pipe, a handle is provided on the upper end face of the sealing cap, and a sealing mechanism is provided at the interface gap between the feed pipe and the sealing cap.

[0014] This invention is further configured such that the sealing mechanism includes a retaining ring, a connecting sleeve, and a buckle. The retaining ring is sleeved on the outer surface of the sealing cover, and the surface of the retaining ring has an opening. The connecting sleeve is hinged to the opening of the retaining ring, and the other side of the connecting sleeve is hinged to the buckle. A rubber sealing ring is provided inside the retaining ring. The sealing mechanism achieves zero dust leakage through the cooperation of the mechanical buckle and the elastic sealing ring.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an activated carbon cooling device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This utility model is equipped with a water-cooling circulation mechanism. The first water pump drives the cooling water in the water storage tank to be injected into the cavity of the base through the connecting pipe. The second water pump pushes the water flow from the base, through the circulation pipe, and then through the branch pipe into the interlayer cavity between the cooling tank and the inner shell. The cooling water flows around the inner shell in the interlayer cavity, absorbing the heat of the activated carbon in the stirring tank. The heated water flows back to the water storage tank through the circulation pipe, forming a closed loop and improving the cooling efficiency.

[0018] 2. This utility model is equipped with an accelerated cooling mechanism. The motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate the spiral stirring blades, which continuously agitates the activated carbon particles in the mixing tank. The stirring breaks the static accumulation state of the activated carbon, allowing the internal heat to be quickly transferred to the surface of the particles and efficiently exchanged with the cooling water through the inner shell. The suction fan draws out the hot and humid air from the top of the mixing tank, and the hot and humid airflow is discharged to the outside through the filter screen, further improving the cooling efficiency.

[0019] 3. This utility model is equipped with a sealing mechanism. When the sealing cover is closed, the buckle is pressed down, and the retaining ring tightens to secure the sealing cover to the feed pipe interface. The internal rubber sealing ring fills the gaps, achieving a physical seal. The sealing mechanism completely isolates the feed inlet and, together with the filter screen, intercepts dust, preventing activated carbon powder from overflowing during the cooling process.

The other end is connected to the outer wall of the cooling tank 3. Several branch pipes 7 are arranged between the circulation pipes 6 and the outer wall of the cooling tank 3. The cooling tank 3 has an inner shell 8, and the inner shell 8 and the inner side wall of the cooling tank 3 form a hollow structure.

[0030] In a further embodiment, a first water pump 9 is connected to one set of the connecting pipes 5, and a second water pump 10 is connected to one set of the circulation pipes 6. The water storage tank 4 has an inlet pipe 11 on one side and an outlet pipe 12 on the other. The first water pump 9 drives the water flow circulation between the water storage tank 4 and the base 2, while the second water pump 10 drives the water flow circulation between the cooling tank 3 and the water storage tank 4. The dual pumps force the cooling water to circulate at high speed, improving heat exchange efficiency. Low-temperature cooling water is replenished through the inlet pipe 11, and high-temperature water after heat absorption is discharged from the outlet pipe 12.

[0031] In a further embodiment, the accelerated cooling mechanism includes a stirring tank 13, a motor 14, a rotating shaft 15, spiral stirring blades 16, and a heat dissipation assembly. The stirring tank 13 is located at the center of the inner shell 8. The motor 14 is located on the upper surface of the stirring tank 13, and the output end of the motor 14 is connected to the rotating shaft 15. The surface of the rotating shaft 15 is provided with spiral stirring blades 16. The heat dissipation assembly is located on the upper surface of the stirring tank 13. The heat dissipation assembly includes a filter screen 17 and a suction fan 18. A square groove is formed on the upper surface of the stirring tank 13, and the suction fan 18 is located in the square groove. The filter screen 17 is provided on the upper inner wall of the stirring tank 13, and the filter screen 17 is adapted to the square groove.

[0032] Motor 14 drives spiral stirring blades 16 to agitate activated carbon particles, breaking up static accumulation and solving the problem of poor thermal conductivity of activated carbon. At the same time, it avoids overheating in the central area, ensures uniform cooling, and accelerates cooling efficiency. Meanwhile, suction fan 18 draws out hot and humid air from the tank to prevent water vapor from condensing and causing activated carbon to clump. Filter screen 17 intercepts dust and prevents activated carbon particles from escaping with the airflow, protecting the environment. The design of filter screen 17 and suction fan 18 further improves cooling efficiency.

[0033] In a further embodiment, the upper end face of the mixing tank 13 is provided with a feed pipe 19, the upper end face of the feed pipe 19 is provided with a sealing cap 20, the upper end face of the sealing cap 20 is provided with a handle 21, and a sealing mechanism is provided at the interface gap between the feed pipe 19 and the sealing cap 20.

When it is necessary to open the sealing cover, the buckle 24 is pried up, the retaining ring 22 is released, and the sealing cover 20 can be opened.

[0035] In summary, when using the overall equipment:

[0036] In this invention, the sealing cover 20 is opened, and activated carbon to be cooled is loaded through the feed pipe 19. The sealing cover 20 is then closed, the buckle 24 is pressed down, and the retaining ring 22 tightens to secure the interface. The internal rubber sealing ring 25 fills the gaps, achieving a physical seal. The sealing mechanism completely isolates the feed inlet and, together with the filter screen 17, intercepts dust, preventing activated carbon powder from overflowing during the cooling process.

[0037] The first water pump 9 is started, which drives the cooling water in the water storage tank 4 to be injected into the cavity of the base 2 through the connecting pipe 5. The second water pump 10 pushes the water flow from the base 2, through the circulation pipe 6, and then through the branch pipe 7 into the interlayer cavity between the cooling tank 3 and the inner shell 8. The cooling water flows around the inner shell 8 in the interlayer cavity, absorbing the heat of the activated carbon in the stirring tank 13. The heated water flows back to the water storage tank 4 through the circulation pipe 6, forming a closed loop. Low-temperature cooling water is replenished through the inlet pipe 11, and the high-temperature water after absorbing heat is discharged from the outlet pipe 12.

[0038] The motor 14 drives the rotating shaft 15 to rotate the spiral stirring blades 16, continuously agitating the activated carbon particles in the mixing tank 13. The stirring breaks the static accumulation state of the activated carbon, allowing the internal heat to be quickly transferred to the surface of the particles and efficiently exchanged with the cooling water through the inner shell 8. The suction fan 18 draws out the hot and humid air from the top of the mixing tank 13, and the hot and humid airflow is discharged to the outside through the filter screen 17, further improving the cooling efficiency.
