Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of activated carbon dehydration technology, and in particular to a centrifugal drying device for activated carbon dehydration. Background Technology
[0002] Activated carbon is a carbon material with a highly porous structure and large specific surface area. It is typically produced by carbonizing organic materials such as wood, coal, coconut shells, and fruit shells under high-temperature, oxygen-deficient conditions, followed by activation treatment. Its surface contains numerous micropores, enabling it to adsorb impurity molecules from the air or liquids. It is widely used in gas purification, water treatment, chemical separation, decolorization, deodorization, and pharmaceuticals. In the production process of activated carbon, water washing is a crucial refining step, primarily used to remove impurities and tiny particles from the activated carbon surface, further enhancing its specific surface area and adsorption performance, thereby broadening its application range in environmental remediation, gas purification, and liquid filtration.
[0003] After washing, activated carbon retains a large amount of moisture on its surface. If this moisture is not removed promptly, it will significantly reduce its adsorption efficiency and negatively impact subsequent drying, packaging, and use processes, such as increasing drying energy consumption, reducing packing density, and decreasing ease of use. Currently, common dehydration methods for activated carbon include natural air drying, filter press dehydration, and vacuum filtration. However, all of these methods have limitations. Natural air drying is inefficient, time-consuming, and significantly affected by weather conditions. While filter presses and vacuum filtration equipment offer higher dehydration efficiency, they involve high investment costs, complex operation, and may break activated carbon particles during dehydration, affecting their subsequent performance.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an activated carbon dehydration device with a reasonable structure, reliable operation, high dehydration efficiency, and no damage to the material, to meet the actual needs of industrial production. Based on this, we propose a centrifugal drying device for activated carbon dehydration. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of the present invention, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents, and such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.
[0006] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a centrifugal drying device for activated carbon dehydration, which can solve the problem that the residual water after activated carbon washing is difficult to remove efficiently. Existing dehydration methods have problems such as low efficiency, high cost, complicated operation and easy damage to particle structure.
[0007] To solve the above technical problems, this utility model provides a centrifugal dehydration device for activated carbon, which adopts the following technical solution: it includes a drive base, a centrifugal dehydration tank is installed on the top of the drive base, and drainage components are respectively provided on both sides of the drive base. The drainage components include a support frame, and a filter component is connected to the top of the support frame.
[0008] The centrifugal dehydration tank has a sealing cover connected to one side of its top, a centrifugal filter installed inside, and drainage pipes installed at the bottom of both sides of the centrifugal dehydration tank.
[0009] Optionally, two sets of positioning slots are provided on both sides of the drive base, and a first connecting plate is connected to the output end of the drive base. The first connecting plate is located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the centrifugal dehydration tank.
[0010] Optionally, the centrifugal filter includes a centrifugal cylinder, and a second connecting plate is installed at the bottom of the centrifugal cylinder. The second connecting plate is structurally matched with the first connecting plate, and the second connecting plate and the first connecting plate are fixedly connected.
[0011] Optionally, a limit ring is installed inside the support frame, and a positioning plate is also installed on one side of the support frame.
[0012] Optionally, the positioning plate and the positioning slot are matched, and the positioning plate and the positioning slot are engaged by a snap-fit.
[0013] Optionally, the filter component includes a limiting frame that matches a limiting ring structure, and a filter screen is installed at the bottom of the limiting frame.
[0014] In summary, this utility model has at least one of the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. The activated carbon dehydration device in this solution, through the power transmission connection between the drive base and the centrifugal dehydration tank, and the carefully designed centrifugal filter structure inside the centrifugal dehydration tank, can quickly and efficiently complete the dehydration treatment of activated carbon after washing. After being powered on, the drive base can precisely drive the centrifugal cylinder to rotate at high speed with the tacit cooperation of the first and second connecting plates. During this process, under the action of strong centrifugal force, the free water remaining inside and on the surface of the activated carbon particles can be effectively thrown out, realizing the non-destructive dehydration of activated carbon particles. Compared with traditional dehydration methods, this device not only significantly shortens the drying cycle, but also significantly reduces the particle breakage rate, truly achieving high dehydration efficiency and low structural damage, thereby effectively ensuring the adsorption performance and application quality of activated carbon.
[0016] 2. The activated carbon dewatering device in this solution cleverly incorporates positioning slots on both sides of the drive base, which engage with positioning plates on the support frame. This allows the two sets of support frames to be quickly and securely installed directly below the drain outlet. The filter components mounted on top of the support frames consist of a limiting baffle and a filter screen, enabling secondary fine filtration of the discharged water. This effectively intercepts tiny activated carbon particles that may be trapped during the dewatering process, preventing them from being lost with the water flow. This structural design not only effectively improves the resource utilization rate of the dewatering process and reduces raw material waste, but also significantly improves environmental protection standards, achieving efficient retention and recycling of activated carbon particles. Furthermore, it enhances the overall ease of operation and maintenance efficiency of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Example: Refer to Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides an embodiment of a centrifugal dehydration device for activated carbon, including a drive base 1, a centrifugal dehydration tank 2 mounted on the top of the drive base 1, drainage components 3 respectively provided on both sides of the drive base 1, the drainage components 3 including a support frame 4, a filter component 5 connected to the top of the support frame 4, a sealing cover 6 connected to one side of the top of the centrifugal dehydration tank 2, a centrifugal filter 7 provided inside the centrifugal dehydration tank 2, and drainage pipes 8 respectively provided at the bottom of both sides of the centrifugal dehydration tank 2. The activated carbon dehydration device can connect and fix the centrifugal cylinder 11 inside the centrifugal dehydration tank 2 through the structural design of the fixed connection between the second connecting plate 12 and the first connecting plate 10. When the drive base 1 is powered on, it can drive the centrifugal cylinder 11 to rotate at high speed inside the centrifugal dehydration tank 2. When activated carbon particles that need to be dehydrated are put into the centrifugal cylinder 11 and the top of it is sealed by the sealing cover 6, the high-speed rotating centrifugal cylinder 11 can centrifuge and dehydrate the activated carbon.
[0027] Two sets of positioning slots 9 are provided on both sides of the drive base 1. The output end of the drive base 1 is connected to a first connecting plate 10, which is located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the centrifugal dehydration tank 2. The drive base 1 is connected to the first connecting plate 10 through the output end, and the first connecting plate 10 is located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the centrifugal dehydration tank 2. This allows the centrifugal filter 7 to be stably installed in the internal structure of the centrifugal dehydration tank 2. Through this transmission connection structure, the power of the drive base 1 can be effectively transmitted to the centrifugal filter 7 to achieve its high-speed rotation drive. The centrifugal filter 7 includes a centrifugal cylinder 11. A second connecting plate 12 is installed at the bottom of the centrifugal cylinder 11. The second connecting plate 12 is structurally matched with the first connecting plate 10. The second connecting plate 12 and the first connecting plate 10 are fixedly connected. Through the structural design of the fixed connection between the second connecting plate 12 and the first connecting plate 10, the centrifugal filter 7 can be stably installed inside the centrifugal dehydration tank 2. At the same time, the centrifugal filter 7 rotates synchronously with the output end of the drive base 1, thereby achieving efficient centrifugal dehydration treatment of activated carbon particles.
[0028] The support frame 4 has a limiting ring 13 installed inside, and a positioning plate 14 is also installed on one side of the support frame 4. The positioning plate 14 installed on one side of the support frame 4 is used for the disassembly and assembly connection between the support frame 4 and the drive base 1. The positioning plate 14 and the positioning slot 9 are structurally matched, and the positioning plate 14 and the positioning slot 9 are in a snap-fit fit. Through the snap-fit fit between the positioning plate 14 and the positioning slot 9, the support frame 4 can be limited and installed on both sides of the drive base 1. The drive base 1 can disassemble, assemble, connect, repair and replace the support frame 4 according to the usage. The filter component 5 includes a limiting frame 15, which is structurally matched with the limiting ring 13. A filter screen frame 16 is installed at the bottom of the limiting frame 15. Through the matching structural design of the limiting frame 15 and the limiting ring 13, the limiting frame 15 with the filter screen frame 16 installed inside can be limited and mounted on the top of the support frame 4, realizing the quick assembly and stable fixation of the filter component 5.
[0029] Working principle: The activated carbon dehydration device designed in this scheme mainly consists of a drive base 1, a centrifugal dehydration tank 2, and drainage components 3 set on both sides of the device. The centrifugal dehydration tank 2 is set on the top of the drive base 1. Its internal structure includes a sealing cover 6, a centrifugal filter 7, and drainage pipes 8 running through both sides of the bottom. The core structure of the centrifugal filter 7 is a centrifugal cylinder 11. A second connecting plate 12 is installed at the bottom of the centrifugal cylinder 11. The second connecting plate 12 is connected to the first connecting plate 10 set at the output end of the drive base 1 by a fixed connection. The first connecting plate 10 is located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the centrifugal dehydration tank 2. Through this connection method, it can be ensured that the centrifugal cylinder 11 is stably fixed inside the dehydration tank and realizes synchronous rotation between it and the drive device.
[0030] When the device is put into use, the drive base 1 is powered on, and its internal motor outputs power to drive the first connecting plate 10 to rotate at high speed. This drives the centrifuge cylinder 11 fixed on it to rotate at high speed synchronously. During use, the activated carbon particles to be dehydrated after washing are evenly put into the centrifuge cylinder 11, and the top of the dehydration tank is sealed by the sealing cover 6. This effectively prevents water from splashing and leaking out during centrifugation. Under the centrifugal force of high-speed rotation, the free water in the activated carbon particles is quickly thrown off the particle surface and discharged outward along the inner wall of the centrifuge cylinder 11. It then flows out through the drainage pipes 8 located at the bottom of both sides of the centrifuge dehydration tank 2, achieving rapid and efficient solid-liquid separation. This centrifugal dehydration process has significant advantages. On the one hand, the dehydration efficiency is high and the water is thoroughly removed. On the other hand, due to the reasonable internal structure design of the cylinder, the rotation process is stable and gentle, and it will not crush or damage the activated carbon particles, thus effectively maintaining their physical integrity and adsorption performance, significantly improving product quality and practicality.
[0031] The activated carbon dehydration device designed in this scheme uses two sets of positioning slots 9 on both sides of the drive base 1 to cooperate with the positioning and installation of the support frame 4. Two sets of positioning plates 14 are added to the side of the support frame 4. The positioning plates 14 and the positioning slots 9 are interlocked, which can realize the quick and stable assembly and disassembly of the support frame 4, improving the ease of maintenance and flexibility of use of the device. Each set of support frame 4 has a filter component 5 installed on the top. The filter component 5 includes a limit frame 15 and a filter screen 16, which is installed directly below the outlet of the drain pipe 8. It can filter the water-containing fluid discharged from the centrifugal dehydration tank 2 again, intercepting any small activated carbon particles that may be entrained in it, preventing them from being directly discharged with the water flow, avoiding resource waste and environmental pollution. This structural design not only realizes the effective recovery of activated carbon particles, but also improves the cleanliness and environmental performance of the drainage process, providing a good foundation for subsequent water treatment and activated carbon reuse.
