Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a device for utilizing the heat energy of an air compressor. Background Technology
[0002] OPC is an abbreviation for organic photo conductor. An OPC drum is a photoelectric conversion device formed by coating OPC material onto the surface of a conductive aluminum cylinder.
[0003] During OPC manufacturing, it is necessary to maintain a constant temperature (approximately 20°C) and humidity in the manufacturing room. In winter, when the temperature is low, the outside air needs to be heated to the required temperature and humidity before being introduced into the manufacturing room. However, OPC production requires the use of air compressors, which generate hot air (approximately 80°C) while outputting compressed air. Currently, the main method for handling this hot air is to directly discharge it into the air, resulting in a waste of resources. Summary of the Invention

The collection box is used to connect to the fan in the manufacturing room. The collection box is connected to the exhaust gas discharge end of the air compressor through a three-ventilation duct. The air inlet pipe of the three-ventilation duct is connected to the exhaust gas discharge end of the air compressor. The first air outlet pipe of the three-ventilation duct is connected to the outside. The second air outlet pipe of the three-ventilation duct is connected to the collection box. A proportional valve is provided on the second air outlet pipe. The collection box is provided with an air inlet. A first moisture-absorbing mesh frame that is detachably connected is provided on the air inlet. A second moisture-absorbing mesh frame that is detachably connected is provided on the air outlet of the first air outlet pipe. The first moisture-absorbing mesh frame and the second moisture-absorbing mesh frame have the same structure.
[0005] Preferably, the collection box is equipped with a controller, and the air inlet is equipped with a temperature sensor. The controller is connected to the temperature sensor and the proportional valve respectively.
[0006] Preferably, both the air inlet and the air outlet are provided with mounting grooves, the first moisture-absorbing mesh frame and the second moisture-absorbing mesh frame are adapted to the mounting grooves, the side of the mounting groove is provided with several through holes, the first moisture-absorbing mesh frame and the second moisture-absorbing mesh frame are provided with corresponding insertion holes, the through holes and the insertion holes are aligned and provided with positioning pins.
[0007] Preferably, both the first and second moisture-absorbing mesh frames are provided with a desiccant layer.
[0008] Preferably, both the first and second moisture-absorbing mesh frames have a gripping part on their outer sides.
[0009] The advantages and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: It provides an air compressor heat energy utilization device, which divides the exhaust heat energy of the air compressor into two parts for recovery and utilization. One part of the hot air is used for the fan in the manufacturing room to regulate the indoor temperature of the manufacturing room, and the other part of the hot air is used for the first and second moisture-absorbing mesh frames that can be replaced alternately to dry the desiccant layer.

[0010] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0011] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0012] The specific technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0013] like Figure 1 As shown, an air compressor heat energy utilization device includes a collection box 1, which is connected to a fan 2 in the manufacturing room. The collection box 1 is connected to the exhaust gas discharge end of the air compressor 3 through a three-way ventilation pipe 4. The air inlet pipe 41 of the three-way ventilation pipe 4 is connected to the exhaust gas discharge end of the air compressor 3. The first air outlet pipe 42 of the three-way ventilation pipe 4 is connected to the outside. The second air outlet pipe 43 of the three-way ventilation pipe 4 is connected to the collection box 1. A proportional valve 5 is provided on the second air outlet pipe 43. The collection box 1 is provided with an air inlet 6. A first moisture-absorbing mesh frame 7 is detachably connected to the air inlet 6. A second moisture-absorbing mesh frame 8 is detachably connected to the air outlet 9 of the first air outlet pipe 42. The first moisture-absorbing mesh frame 7 and the second moisture-absorbing mesh frame 8 have the same structure.
[0014] The aforementioned collection box 1 is equipped with a controller 10, and the air inlet 6 is equipped with a temperature sensor 11. The controller 10 is connected to the temperature sensor 11 and the proportional valve 5 respectively. Specifically, the controller 10 adjusts the opening size of the proportional valve 5 according to the temperature range set by the temperature sensor 11, so that some of the hot air discharged by the air compressor 3 mixes with the cold air in the collection box 1 to reach the temperature required for production, thereby reducing energy consumption and lowering costs.
[0015] The air inlet 6 and air outlet 9 are both provided with mounting grooves 12. The first moisture-absorbing mesh frame 7 and the second moisture-absorbing mesh frame 8 are adapted to the mounting grooves 12. The side of the mounting groove 12 is provided with several through holes 13. The first moisture-absorbing mesh frame 7 and the second moisture-absorbing mesh frame 8 are provided with corresponding insertion holes 14. The through holes 13 and the insertion holes 14 are aligned and a positioning pin 15 is inserted through them. Specifically, the first moisture-absorbing mesh frame 7 or the second moisture-absorbing mesh frame 8 is placed in the mounting groove 12, and the positioning pin 15 is inserted into the aligned through holes 13 and insertion holes 14. The first moisture-absorbing mesh frame 7 or the second moisture-absorbing mesh frame 8 on the air inlet 6 and the air outlet 9 can be replaced alternately by manually inserting and removing the positioning pin 15.
[0016] Both the first moisture-absorbing mesh frame 7 and the second moisture-absorbing mesh frame 8 are provided with a desiccant layer; specifically, when the moisture absorption effect of the desiccant layer decreases, part of the hot air discharged by the air compressor 3 is used to continuously dry it, so as to realize the repeated use of the desiccant layer.
[0017] The outer sides of the first moisture-absorbing mesh frame 7 and the second moisture-absorbing mesh frame 8 are provided with a gripping part 16; specifically, when manually alternating between the first moisture-absorbing mesh frame 7 and the second moisture-absorbing mesh frame 8, the gripping part 16 makes it easier and less strenuous.
[0018] When in use, cold air from the outside enters the collection box 1 through the air inlet 6. The air inlet 6 is equipped with a first moisture-absorbing mesh frame 7 and a temperature sensor 11. The first moisture-absorbing mesh frame 7 absorbs moisture from the cold air entering the collection box 1.
[0019] The hot air discharged from the air compressor 3 enters the three-way ventilation duct 4 through the air inlet pipe 41. The controller 10 adjusts the opening size of the proportional valve 5 in the second air outlet pipe 43 according to the temperature range set by the temperature sensor 11, so that some of the hot air enters the collection box 1 through the second air outlet pipe 43, mixes with the cold air in the collection box to reach the set temperature, and is then fed into the manufacturing room through the fan 2.
[0020] Since the hot air discharged from the air compressor 3 has a high temperature (about 80°C), while the temperature inside the manufacturing room is constant (about 20°C), a large portion of the hot air will inevitably be discharged to the outside through the air outlet 9 of the first air outlet pipe 42. When the moisture absorption effect of the desiccant layer in the first moisture-absorbing mesh frame 7 decreases, the first moisture-absorbing mesh frame 7 at the air inlet 6 is removed and replaced with the second moisture-absorbing mesh frame 8. The first moisture-absorbing mesh frame 7 is then transferred and installed on the air outlet 9 of the first air outlet pipe 42. It is continuously dried by some of the hot air discharged from the air compressor 3. When the moisture absorption effect of the desiccant layer in the second moisture-absorbing mesh frame 8 decreases, the first moisture-absorbing mesh frame 7 and the second moisture-absorbing mesh frame 8 can be used alternately. Compared with the prior art, this utility model makes full use of the heat energy of the exhaust gas of the air compressor 3, reduces energy consumption, and lowers costs.
[0021] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
