Abstract
Description
Technical Field

The moisture in the polyacrylamide solution evaporates slowly, making it difficult to meet the drying efficiency requirements of large-scale hydrometallurgical production of laterite nickel ore. 2. Uneven drying: For polyacrylamide, a material with a certain degree of viscosity, localized overheating or over-drying can easily occur during the drying process, leading to a decline in material quality and affecting its reusability. Therefore, we propose a polyacrylamide drying device. Utility Model Content

[0019] Please see Figure 1-3A polyacrylamide drying device includes a rotating shaft 26 and an air duct 17. A spiral stirring blade 27 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 26. A drain port and a liquid inlet are respectively opened on the left and right sides of the rotating shaft 26. A liquid delivery channel is opened inside the spiral stirring blade 27. The inlet and outlet of the liquid delivery channel are connected to the inlet and drain port of the rotating shaft 26, respectively. When heat transfer oil enters the inlet of the rotating shaft 26, it enters the liquid delivery channel of the spiral stirring blade 27 through the inlet, thereby heating the spiral stirring blade 27. When the rotating shaft 26 rotates, it drives the spiral stirring blade 27 to stir and heat the polyacrylamide, thereby improving the drying efficiency. When the heat transfer oil flows to the left in the liquid delivery channel of the spiral stirring blade 27, it is stirred by the spiral stirring blade. The liquid outlet of the agitator blade 27 flows into the drain outlet of the rotating shaft 26. A second sleeve 19 and a first sleeve 14 are respectively fitted onto the left and right sides of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 26. A first insulation pipe 15 is connected to the right side of the first sleeve 14 via a flange. A spiral heat exchanger 2 is fixedly installed inside the air duct 17. The inlet of the spiral heat exchanger 2 is connected to a second insulation pipe 16. The inlet of the second insulation pipe 16 penetrates the top of the air duct 17 and the left side of the first insulation pipe 15, located inside the first insulation pipe 15. The outlet of the spiral heat exchanger 2 is connected to a conveying pipe 18. The outlet of the conveying pipe 18 penetrates the left side of the air duct 17 and connects to the second sleeve 19, connecting the first insulation pipe 15 to the conveying pump on the external heat transfer oil heater. When the heat transfer oil enters the first insulation pipe 15, it will... The heat transfer oil is fed into the inlet of the rotating shaft 26 through the first insulation pipe 15 and the first sleeve 14. Simultaneously, some of the heat transfer oil inside the first insulation pipe 15 enters the spiral heat exchanger 2 through the second insulation pipe 16. At this time, the air duct 17 is connected to an external fan. When air enters the air duct 17, it comes into contact with and is heated by the spiral heat exchanger 2. An air supply pipe 21 is connected to the bottom left side of the air duct 17. A box cover 23 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the air duct 17. The air supply pipe 21 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the box cover 23. The air inlet of the air supply pipe 21 passes through the top of the box cover 23 and connects to the air duct 17. An air distribution plate 22 is evenly connected to the bottom of the air supply pipe 21. The heated air enters the air distribution plate 22 through the air supply pipe 21 and is heated by the air distribution plate 22. 2. The polyacrylamide in the drying chamber 1 is dried evenly by being discharged into the drying chamber 1. At the same time, the heat transfer oil in the spiral heat exchange tube 2 moves to the left and is discharged into the second sleeve 19 through the conveying pipe 18. The heat transfer oil in the drain port of the rotating shaft 26 also enters the second sleeve 19. Then the second sleeve 19 is connected to the inlet of the external heat transfer oil heater so that the heat transfer oil can flow back into the external heat transfer oil heater for heating. The bottom of the chamber cover 23 is fixedly connected to the drying chamber 1 by bolts. The second sleeve 19 and the first sleeve 14 are located on the left and right sides of the drying chamber 1, respectively. The rotating shaft 26 is located inside the drying chamber 1. A set of through holes is opened on both the left and right sides of the drying chamber 1. Two sets of through holes are opened on the left and right sides of the rotating shaft 26, respectively.
[0020] A set of support plates 12 are fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the second sleeve 19 and the first sleeve 14. The support plates 12 are evenly fixed on the left and right sides of the drying chamber 1. A second toothed ring 25 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the rotating shaft 26. The second toothed ring 25 is located on the right side of the drying chamber 1. A support frame 11 is fixedly installed on the right side of the drying chamber 1. A servo motor 13 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the support frame 11. A first toothed ring 24 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the output end of the servo motor 13. The first toothed ring 24 is located on top of the second toothed ring 25 and meshes with the second toothed ring 25. The servo motor 13 drives the first toothed ring 24 to rotate, and the first toothed ring 24 drives the second toothed ring 25 to rotate. In this way, the second toothed ring 25 drives the rotating shaft 26 to rotate within the drying chamber 1, the first sleeve 14, and the second sleeve 19. The drying chamber 1 has a first sealing ring 3 installed in the through hole, which is fitted onto the outside of the rotating shaft 26. A second sealing ring 31 is installed on the inside of both the second sleeve 19 and the first sleeve 14, and is fitted onto the outside of the rotating shaft 26. The first sealing ring 3 seals the connection gap between the drying chamber 1 and the rotating shaft 26, and the second sealing ring 31 seals the connection gap between the rotating shaft 26 and the first sleeve 14 and the second sleeve 19. The first sealing ring 3 and the second sealing ring 31 must be wear-resistant and high-temperature resistant sealing rings. The bottom of the drying chamber 1 is connected to a discharge valve 34, and the top of the chamber cover 23 is connected to an inlet valve 33 and an exhaust valve 32. The inlet valve 33, discharge valve 34, and exhaust valve 32 are responsible for feeding, discharging, and venting respectively, which will not be elaborated upon here.
[0021] Working principle: The first sealing ring 3 seals the connection gap between the drying chamber 1 and the rotating shaft 26, and the second sealing ring 31 seals the connection gap between the rotating shaft 26 and the first sleeve 14 and the second sleeve 19. The first sealing ring 3 and the second sealing ring 31 should be wear-resistant and high-temperature resistant sealing rings. The feed valve 33, the discharge valve 34 and the exhaust valve 32 are responsible for feeding, discharging and exhausting respectively, which will not be elaborated here.
[0022] The servo motor 13 drives the first gear ring 24 to rotate, which in turn drives the second gear ring 25 to rotate. This, in turn, drives the rotating shaft 26 to rotate within the drying chamber 1, the first sleeve 14, and the second sleeve 19. The first insulation pipe 15 is connected to the delivery pump on the external heat transfer oil heater. When heat transfer oil enters the first insulation pipe 15, it flows through the first insulation pipe 15 and the first sleeve 14 into the inlet of the rotating shaft 26. After entering the inlet of the rotating shaft 26, the heat transfer oil flows through the inlet of the spiral stirring blade 27 into the delivery channel of the spiral stirring blade 27, thus heating the spiral stirring blade 27. When the rotating shaft 26 rotates, it drives the spiral stirring blade 27 to stir and heat the polyacrylamide, thereby improving drying efficiency. When the heat transfer oil flows to the left in the delivery channel of the spiral stirring blade 27, it flows through the spiral stirring blade... The liquid outlet of 27 flows into the drain outlet of the rotating shaft 26. At the same time, some of the heat transfer oil in the first insulation pipe 15 will enter the spiral heat exchanger 2 through the second insulation pipe 16. At this time, the air duct 17 is connected to the external fan. When the air enters the air duct 17, it will come into contact with the spiral heat exchanger 2 and be heated by the spiral heat exchanger 2. The heated air will enter the air distribution plate 22 through the air supply pipe 21 and be evenly discharged into the drying box 1 by the air distribution plate 22 to dry the polyacrylamide in the drying box 1. At the same time, the heat transfer oil in the spiral heat exchanger 2 will move to the left and be discharged into the second sleeve 19 through the delivery pipe 18. The heat transfer oil in the drain outlet of the rotating shaft 26 will also enter the second sleeve 19. Then the second sleeve 19 is connected to the liquid inlet of the external heat transfer oil heater, so that the heat transfer oil can flow back into the external heat transfer oil heater for heating.
