Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding technology for lime digestion and slag removal machines, and in particular to a cyclone feeder for lime digestion and slag removal machines. Background Technology

[0002] The original feeding method for the alkali recovery caustic soda digester was that the green liquor and quicklime entered the digester through two separate inlets. The quicklime had to fall below the liquid surface within the digester to mix with the green liquor. High concentrations of lime dust floated in the space between the digester cover and the liquid surface. This dust was treated by a scrubber mounted on the digester and then released into the atmosphere. This not only reduced mixing efficiency but also increased the scrubber's processing load, leading to increased dust content in the exhaust and causing air pollution. Furthermore, the increased processing load on the scrubber affected its effectiveness, making it prone to sludge buildup, which could clog the sludge discharge pipes and increase solid pollutant emissions.

[0003] In conclusion, the existing technology obviously has inconveniences and defects in practical use, so it is necessary to improve it. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a cyclone feeder for a lime slagging and slag-removing machine, including a cylinder 1. The cylinder 1 is disposed between the lime slagging and slag-removing machine 2 and the lime feeding assembly 3, connecting the three. The lime slagging and slag-removing machine 2 conveys quicklime to the cylinder 1 through a feed pipe 13. The cylinder 1 is also provided with a green liquid inlet 14, which is used to convey green liquid into the cylinder 1. The green liquid and quicklime mix in the cylinder 1 and then enter the lime slagging and slag-removing machine 2.

[0027] The lime digestion and slag removal machine 2 is equipped with at least one set of stirring paddles 4, which are mounted on a rotating shaft and driven to rotate by a stirring motor 6. The lime feeding assembly 3 includes a screw feeder, which is connected to a feeding motor 5, which provides the power for the screw feeder to rotate.

[0028] The cylinder 1 includes an upper cylinder 11 and a lower cylinder 12. The lower cylinder 12 includes an inverted conical cylinder 121 and an upright conical cylinder 122. The upper cylinder 11, the inverted conical cylinder 121, and the upright conical cylinder 122 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom, and the connection between the inverted conical cylinder 121 and the upright conical cylinder 122 forms a neck. Preferably, the inverted conical cylinder 121 is located outside the lime digestion and slag removal machine 2, and the upright conical cylinder 122 is located inside the lime digestion and slag removal machine 2. The bottom end face of the upright conical cylinder 122 is below the liquid surface in the lime digestion and slag removal machine 2, that is, the lower part of the upright conical cylinder 122 is submerged below the liquid surface in the lime digestion and slag removal machine 2.

[0029] The upper cylinder 11 is cylindrical, and the feed pipe 13 is connected to the center of the top of the upper cylinder 11. Specifically, a feed inlet can be opened at the top of the upper cylinder 11 to accommodate the feed pipe 13.

[0030] See Figure 5 The green liquid inlet 14 is arranged along the tangent of the upper cylinder 11.

[0031] The green liquid enters the cylinder 1 along the tangent of the upper cylinder 11 and moves spirally downward along the inner wall of the cylinder 1. The quicklime enters from the feed port at the center of the top of the cylinder 1 and collides and mixes vertically with the swirling green liquid under the action of gravity. They fall together in a spiral state. In the inverted conical cylinder 121, as the neck contracts, the radius of operation decreases and the speed of movement increases, which promotes the mixing of the solid and liquid phases. As the fluid moves downward, it passes through the neck to the upright conical cylinder 122, where the radius of operation increases and the speed of movement decreases. It enters the liquid interior of the lime digestion and slag removal machine 2 with a smaller impact. Since the upright conical cylinder 122 is submerged below the liquid surface in the lime digestion and slag removal machine 2, the problem of lime dust is avoided.

[0032] See Figures 2 to 4 The feed pipe 13 includes a first feed pipe 131 connecting to the lime feed assembly 3 and a second feed pipe 132 connecting to the cylinder 1. The first feed pipe 131 and the second feed pipe 132 are connected by bolts 16. To increase the airtightness between the two and prevent quicklime from flying out from the gap between them, a feed pipe sealing ring 133 made of acid and alkali resistant rubber is provided at the connection between the first feed pipe 131 and the second feed pipe 132.

[0033] The feed pipe 13 is inserted into the upper cylinder 11. Furthermore, the bottom of the second feed pipe 132 extends into the interior of the upper cylinder 11.

[0034] The top of the upper cylinder 11 is also provided with an inspection port 15. At least one inspection port 15 is provided, and preferably two are provided, such as... Figure 2 As shown. The setting of inspection port 15 facilitates observation of the mixing of quicklime and green liquid inside cylinder 1.

[0035] See Figure 3 The upper cylinder 11 is provided with an inspection port mounting port 152, which is connected to a detachable viewing window 151. The inspection port mounting port 152 and the viewing window 151 are also connected by bolts 16. Similarly, in order to ensure the airtightness of both and prevent quicklime from flying out from the inspection port 15, an inspection port sealing ring 153 is provided between the inspection port mounting port 152 and the viewing window 151.

[0036] See Figure 2The upper cylinder 11 and the inverted conical cylinder 121 are detachably connected, and a cylinder sealing ring 123 is provided at the connection between the upper cylinder 11 and the inverted conical cylinder 121.

[0037] This utility model provides a cyclone feeder for a lime digestion and slag removal machine, which effectively utilizes the principle of fluid cyclone to reduce lime dust pollution while fully mixing quicklime and green liquor. It has a simple structure, no maintenance moving parts, and low manufacturing cost. It can be used for feeding lime digestion and slag removal machines in the alkali recovery and caustic chemical section of the paper industry, and can also be used in other industries for similar solid-liquid mixing into reactors.

[0038] Of course, there may be other embodiments of this utility model. Without departing from the spirit and essence of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and modifications based on this utility model, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this utility model.
