To address this issue, a desulfurization and denitrification activated carbon carbonization furnace with a temperature control system is provided. Utility Model Content
[0003] This application provides a desulfurization and denitrification activated carbon carbonization furnace with a temperature control system. It adopts a three-stage independent intelligent temperature control (preheating, carbonization, and cooling) technology. Under the intelligent control of the PLC controller, it realizes the segmented carbonization treatment of the desulfurization and denitrification activated carbon material that needs to be carbonized, so that the temperature control of each stage is stable, thereby ensuring the consistency of product quality.
[0004] This application provides a desulfurization and denitrification activated carbon carbonization furnace with a temperature control system, including a preheating section, a carbonization section, and a cooling section. The preheating section includes a feed hopper with a feed valve. The output end of the feed hopper is connected to a preheating box. A stirring mechanism is installed inside the preheating box, and a stirring motor is connected to the input end of the stirring mechanism. A heating mechanism is installed at the bottom of the preheating box, and a temperature sensor is installed at the top of the preheating box. A discharge pipe is connected to the output end of the preheating box, and a valve is installed on the discharge pipe. The end of the discharge pipe is connected to the carbonization section.

[0009] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, this application provides a desulfurization and denitrification activated carbon carbonization furnace with a temperature control system, including a preheating section, a carbonization section, and a cooling section. The preheating section includes a feeding hopper and a feeding structure through which desulfurization and denitrification activated carbon material to be carbonized is fed into the equipment. The feeding hopper is equipped with a feeding valve for control. Under the control of a PLC controller, the opening and closing of the internal channel of the feeding hopper is controlled. The valve remains open during the feeding process to facilitate feeding, and closes after feeding to achieve the purpose of heat preservation, reduce temperature loss in the preheating section, improve the preheating efficiency of the preheating section, ensure the preheating effect of the preheating section, and thus improve production efficiency. The outlet is connected to a preheating box, a container for preheating the desulfurization and denitrification activated carbon material that needs carbonization. The preheating box is equipped with a stirring mechanism to agitate the activated carbon, ensuring it moves evenly within the preheating box and receives heating from the heating mechanism, thus improving heating efficiency. The stirring mechanism's input is connected to a stirring motor with a kinetic energy output structure, providing kinetic energy support for its stirring operation. The bottom of the preheating box is equipped with a heating mechanism that heats the activated carbon material after it enters the preheating box, thereby preheating the desulfurization and denitrification material. The activated carbon material undergoes heating treatment to bring the temperature of the desulfurization and denitrification activated carbon material to the required carbonization temperature, thereby improving the carbonization efficiency of the activated carbon material in the carbonization section. A temperature sensor is installed on the top of the preheating box for monitoring the temperature inside the preheating box in real time and transmitting the monitored temperature information back to the PLC controller. The PLC controller compares the transmitted temperature value with the threshold value input on the PLC controller. When the transmitted temperature value is lower than the input threshold, the heating mechanism is controlled to heat the preheating box; when the transmitted temperature value is equal to or higher than the input threshold, the heating mechanism is controlled to heat the box. The heating mechanism stops heating a pair of preheating boxes. The output end of the preheating box is connected to a discharge pipe. The preheated desulfurized and denitrified activated carbon material that needs to be carbonized is discharged to the pipeline of the carbonization section. A valve is installed on the discharge pipe to control the opening and closing of the internal channel of the discharge pipe under the control of the PLC controller, so as to realize the batch carbonization treatment of the desulfurized and denitrified activated carbon material that needs to be carbonized. This allows the preheating process of the preheating section and the carbonization process of the preheated desulfurized and denitrified activated carbon material to be carbonized to be carried out simultaneously, thereby achieving the purpose of high-efficiency production. The end of the discharge pipe is connected to the carbonization section.The carbonization section includes a carbonization box, a container for carbonizing preheated desulfurization and denitrification activated carbon. The carbonization box is equipped with a stirring mechanism to agitate the preheated activated carbon, ensuring more even heating and complete contact with the introduced activation gases (carbon dioxide and water vapor), thereby improving carbonization efficiency. The stirring mechanism is connected to a stirring motor with a kinetic energy output structure, providing power for its agitation function. A second heating mechanism is located at the bottom of the carbonization box to heat the preheated activated carbon, ensuring continuous carbonization. A second temperature sensor is installed at the top of the carbonization box for real-time monitoring. The temperature inside the carbonization chamber is monitored, and the monitored temperature information is transmitted back to the PLC controller in real time. The PLC controller compares the transmitted temperature value with the threshold value input on the PLC controller. When the transmitted temperature value is lower than the input threshold value, the heating mechanism 2 is controlled to heat the carbonization chamber. When the transmitted temperature value is equal to or higher than the input threshold value, the heating mechanism 2 is controlled to stop heating the carbonization chamber. This achieves energy saving while ensuring the normal progress of the carbonization reaction. The output end of the carbonization chamber is connected to the discharge pipe 2. After carbonization, the desulfurized and denitrified activated carbon is discharged into the cooling section. The discharge pipe 2 is equipped with valve 2, which plays a control role. Under the control of the PLC controller, the opening and closing of the internal channel of the discharge pipe 2 is controlled. During the carbonization process, it is kept closed to ensure that the carbonization reaction in the carbonization chamber is complete. After carbonization, it is opened to allow the carbonized desulfurized and denitrified activated carbon to enter the cooling section sequentially from the discharge pipe 2. The end of the discharge pipe 2 is connected to the cooling section.The cooling section includes a cooling chamber, a container for cooling the carbonized desulfurized and denitrified activated carbon. Inside the cooling chamber is a screw conveyor. Under the action of the screw motor, the carbonized desulfurized and denitrified activated carbon, continuously discharged from discharge pipe two, is sequentially and orderly conveyed from the end of discharge pipe two to the discharge pipe. During the conveying process, the carbonized desulfurized and denitrified activated carbon undergoes cooling treatment, ensuring that its temperature reaches room temperature when discharged from the discharge pipe, facilitating collection. The screw input end is connected to a screw motor, and the kinetic energy output structure powers the screw's conveying function. The cooling chamber is powered by a cooling jacket. Refrigerant flows through channels within the chamber, carrying away heat and thus reducing the temperature of the carbonized desulfurized and denitrified activated carbon. The cooling jacket has a refrigerant outlet pipe and a refrigerant inlet pipe, arranged sequentially from front to back. The refrigerant outlet pipe is where the refrigerant flows out of the cooling jacket, and the refrigerant inlet pipe is where the refrigerant enters the cooling jacket. The cooling chamber is equipped with three temperature sensors for real-time monitoring of the internal temperature. The monitored temperature information is transmitted back to the PLC controller in real time. The PLC controller compares the transmitted temperature value with the threshold value input on the PLC controller to control the refrigerant flow rate, ensuring effective cooling of the carbonized desulfurized and denitrified activated carbon. The cooling box output is connected to a discharge pipe, through which the cooled carbonized activated carbon is discharged. An exhaust pipe is installed at the top of the discharge pipe to discharge the generated waste gas. The components include: feed valve, stirring motor, heating mechanism 1, temperature sensor 1, valve 1, stirring motor, heating mechanism 2, and temperature sensor. II. Valve II, screw motor, and temperature sensor are connected to the same PLC controller for control. The advanced PLC control system controls the feed valve, stirring motor, heating mechanism I, temperature sensor I, valve I, stirring motor, heating mechanism II, temperature sensor II, valve II, screw motor, and temperature sensor III to work together. Utilizing three-stage independent intelligent temperature control (preheating, carbonization, and cooling) technology, it achieves segmented carbonization of the desulfurization and denitrification activated carbon material, ensuring stable temperature control in each stage and guaranteeing consistent product quality.

[0011] 1. It adopts a three-stage independent intelligent temperature control (preheating, carbonization, and cooling) technology.

[0019] From the above technical solutions, it can be seen that:
[0020] Example 1:
[0021] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 .
[0022] A desulfurization and denitrification activated carbon carbonization furnace with a temperature control system includes a preheating section, a carbonization section, and a cooling section. The preheating section includes a feeding hopper 1 and a feeding structure through which desulfurization and denitrification activated carbon material to be carbonized is fed into the equipment. A feeding valve 2 is installed on the feeding hopper 1 for control. Under the control of a PLC controller 26, the valve controls the opening and closing of the internal channel of the feeding hopper 1. The valve remains open during feeding to facilitate material feeding and closes after feeding to maintain temperature, reduce temperature loss in the preheating section, improve preheating efficiency, and ensure the preheating effect, thereby increasing production efficiency. The output end of the feeding hopper 1 is connected to a preheating box 3 for carbonizing activated carbon. The container for preheating desulfurization and denitrification activated carbon is a preheating box 3. An internal stirring mechanism 4 is installed to agitate the activated carbon within the preheating box 3, ensuring it is evenly heated by the heating mechanism 6, thus improving heating efficiency. A stirring motor 5, with a kinetic energy output structure, is connected to the input end of the stirring mechanism 4 to provide kinetic energy support for its agitation operation. The heating mechanism 6 is located at the bottom of the preheating box 3, heating the activated carbon before it enters the box. The process ensures that the activated carbon material undergoing carbonization reaches the required carbonization temperature, thereby improving the carbonization efficiency of the activated carbon material in the carbonization section. A temperature sensor 7 is installed on the top of the preheating box 3 for monitoring the temperature inside the preheating box 3 in real time. The monitored temperature information is transmitted back to the PLC controller 26 in real time, allowing the PLC controller 26 to compare the transmitted temperature value with the threshold value input to the PLC controller 26. When the transmitted temperature value is lower than the input threshold, the heating mechanism 6 is controlled to heat the preheating box 3; when the transmitted temperature value is equal to or higher than the input threshold, the heating mechanism 6 is controlled to heat the preheating box 3. The preheating box 3 is stopped by the structure 6. The output end of the preheating box 3 is connected to the discharge pipe 8. The desulfurization and denitrification activated carbon material that needs to be carbonized after preheating is discharged to the pipeline of the carbonization section. The discharge pipe 8 is equipped with a valve 9, which plays a control role. Under the control of the PLC controller 26, the opening and closing of the internal channel of the discharge pipe 8 is controlled to realize the batch carbonization treatment of the desulfurization and denitrification activated carbon material that needs to be carbonized. This allows the preheating process of the desulfurization and denitrification activated carbon material that needs to be carbonized in the preheating section and the carbonization process of the desulfurization and denitrification activated carbon material that needs to be carbonized in the carbonization section to be carried out simultaneously, thereby achieving the purpose of high-efficiency production. The end of the discharge pipe 8 is connected to the carbonization section.The carbonization section includes a carbonization box 10, which is a container for carbonizing preheated desulfurization and denitrification activated carbon material that needs carbonization. The carbonization box 10 is equipped with a stirring mechanism 11, which stirs the preheated desulfurization and denitrification activated carbon material undergoing carbonization within the box 10, ensuring more uniform heating and complete contact with the discharged activation gases (carbon dioxide and water vapor), thereby improving carbonization efficiency. A stirring motor 12 is connected to the input end of the stirring mechanism 11. The kinetic energy output structure provides kinetic energy support for the stirring function of the stirring mechanism 11. A heating mechanism 2 13 is installed at the bottom of the carbonization box 10 to heat the preheated desulfurization and denitrification activated carbon material inside the carbonization box, allowing the preheated material to continue carbonizing within the box. A temperature sensor 2 14 is installed at the top of the carbonization box 10 for real-time monitoring of the carbonization process. The temperature inside the carbonization chamber 10 is monitored and transmitted back to the PLC controller 26 in real time. The PLC controller 26 compares the transmitted temperature value with the threshold value input to it. When the transmitted temperature value is lower than the input threshold, the heating mechanism 2 13 is controlled to heat the carbonization chamber 10. When the transmitted temperature value is equal to or higher than the input threshold, the heating mechanism 2 13 is controlled to stop heating the carbonization chamber 10. This achieves energy saving while ensuring the normal progress of the carbonization reaction. The output end of the carbonization box 10 is connected to the discharge pipe 2 15. After carbonization, the desulfurized and denitrified activated carbon is discharged into the cooling section. The discharge pipe 2 15 is equipped with valve 2 16, which plays a control role. Under the control of PLC controller 26, the valve controls the opening and closing of the internal channel of the discharge pipe 2 15. During the carbonization process, the valve is kept closed to ensure that the carbonization reaction in the carbonization box 10 is complete. After carbonization, the valve is opened to allow the carbonized desulfurized and denitrified activated carbon to enter the cooling section sequentially from the discharge pipe 2 15. The end of the discharge pipe 2 15 is connected to the cooling section.The cooling section includes a cooling chamber 17, a container for cooling the carbonized desulfurized and denitrified activated carbon. A screw 18 is installed inside the cooling chamber 17 for conveying. Under the action of the screw motor 19, the carbonized desulfurized and denitrified activated carbon, continuously discharged from the discharge pipe 15, is sequentially and orderly conveyed from the end of the discharge pipe 15 to the discharge pipe 24. During the conveying process, the carbonized desulfurized and denitrified activated carbon undergoes cooling treatment, ensuring that its temperature reaches room temperature when discharged from the discharge pipe 24, facilitating collection. The screw motor 19 is connected to the input end of the screw 18, providing kinetic energy output for the screw 18's conveying operation. The cooling chamber 17 is powered by a cooling jacket 20. Refrigerant flows through the channels of the cooling chamber, carrying away heat from the chamber and thus reducing the temperature of the carbonized desulfurized and denitrified activated carbon. The cooling jacket 20 has a refrigerant outlet pipe 22 and a refrigerant inlet pipe 21 arranged sequentially from front to back. The refrigerant outlet pipe 22 is the pipe through which the refrigerant flows out of the cooling jacket 20, and the refrigerant inlet pipe 21 is the pipe through which the refrigerant enters the cooling jacket 20. A temperature sensor 23 is installed on the cooling chamber 17 for real-time monitoring of the internal temperature. The monitored temperature information is transmitted back to the PLC controller 26 in real time, so that the PLC controller 26 can compare the transmitted temperature value with the threshold value input on the PLC controller 26, thereby controlling the flow rate of the refrigerant to ensure the cooling effect on the desulfurized and denitrified activated carbon after carbonization. The output end of the cooling box 17 is connected to the discharge pipe 24, and the desulfurized and denitrified activated carbon after cooling is discharged from the discharge pipe. The top of the discharge pipe 24 is equipped with an exhaust pipe 25, which is the exhaust channel for the generated tail gas. The components include: feed valve 2, stirring motor 5, heating mechanism 1 6, temperature sensor 1 7, valve 1 9, stirring motor 12, heating mechanism 2 13, and temperature sensor 2 14.

Utilizing its advanced PLC control system, it controls the coordinated operation of the feed valve 2, stirring motor 5, heating mechanism 1 (6), temperature sensor 1 (7), valve 1 (9), stirring motor 12, heating mechanism 2 (13), temperature sensor 2 (14), valve 2 (16), screw motor 19, and temperature sensor 3 (23). Employing three-stage independent intelligent temperature control (preheating, carbonization, and cooling) technology, it achieves segmented carbonization of the desulfurized and denitrified activated carbon material requiring carbonization, ensuring stable temperature control in each stage and guaranteeing consistent product quality.
