Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of chemical production equipment, and in particular to an airflow dryer for potassium chloride production. Background Technology

[0002] Potassium chloride is an inorganic compound that looks like table salt, is odorless, and has a salty taste. It is often used as an additive in low-sodium salt and mineral water. Currently, most potassium chloride products require the use of a potassium chloride airflow dryer for drying during processing.

[0003] Existing airflow dryers use a suction fan to introduce hot air generated in the heating components into the fluidized bed to dry potassium chloride.

[0004] However, when using an airflow dryer to dry potassium chloride, the hydrated potassium chloride easily clumps together in the fluidized bed, which can clog the double-layer filter plates. As a result, the airflow dryer often needs to be shut down and the double-layer filter plates cleaned. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0006] Therefore, this utility model proposes an airflow dryer for potassium chloride production. When potassium chloride needs to be dried using the dryer body, a suction fan can transport the hot airflow generated by the heating element along the connecting pipe to the dryer body for drying. Simultaneously, a motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, causing the cam to rotate within the groove and intermittently move the sleeve plate up and down. Furthermore, the elasticity of the spring on the round rod causes the screening screen to vibrate intermittently, thus preventing clogging of the filter holes on the screening screen and increasing the flow of hot air within the dryer body. When the dried potassium chloride needs to be recovered, an exhaust fan can draw the dried potassium chloride and hot airflow from the dryer body along the suction hood and connecting pipe to a cyclone separator. The cyclone separator separates the dried potassium chloride from the hot air, facilitating the operator's recovery of the dried potassium chloride.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes an airflow dryer for potassium chloride production, comprising a dryer body, a drying device for supplying hot air into the dryer body at its right end, a screening device for screening potassium chloride within the dryer body, and a recovery device for separating the dried potassium chloride within the dryer body at its top.

[0027] The following describes an airflow dryer for potassium chloride production according to an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figures 1-7 As shown in the figure, an airflow dryer for potassium chloride production according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a dryer body 100.

[0029] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the top of the dryer body 100 is provided with a cover plate 101 for tightening the dryer body 100. A handle 102 is fixedly installed on the top of the cover plate 101. There are two handles 102, which are welded to the cover plate 101 symmetrically from left to right, so that the cover plate 101 can be lifted by using the two handles 102, thereby facilitating the replacement or maintenance of the parts inside the dryer body 100.

[0030] Furthermore, the cover plate 101 is provided with bolts 103 for fixing the cover plate 101 to the top of the dryer body 100, and the bolts 103 pass through the cover plate 101 and are threadedly connected to the top of the dryer body 100, so that the top of the dryer body 100 can be tightly covered by the cover plate 101; the dryer body 100 is provided with an installation groove 104 for clamping the screening component 310, and the bottom of the dryer body 100 is provided with a fixing platform 105 for supporting the dryer body 100.

[0031] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 3-6As shown, the screening assembly 310 includes a second mounting block 315 that is fitted into the mounting groove 104. The shape and size of the second mounting block 315 are the same as those of the mounting groove 104, so the screening screen plate 311 can be easily fixed.

[0034] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 7As shown, the recovery assembly 410 includes a cyclone separator 411 fixedly installed at the front end of the connecting assembly 420. The top of the cyclone separator 411 is provided with an exhaust fan 412 for absorbing the dried potassium chloride in the dryer body 100 along the connecting assembly 420 into the cyclone separator 411.

[0035] Furthermore, the connecting assembly 420 includes an air intake hood 423 disposed within the dryer body 100.

The cyclone separator 411 will separate the dried potassium chloride and hot air, making it convenient for the operator to recover the dried potassium chloride.

[0036] In summary, this utility model provides an airflow dryer for potassium chloride production. When potassium chloride needs to be dried using the dryer body 100, the hot airflow generated by the heating component 220 is transported along the connecting pipe 230 to the dryer body 100 by the suction fan 210 to dry the potassium chloride. Simultaneously, the motor 321 drives the rotating shaft 322 to rotate, causing the cam 323 to rotate within the groove 313 and intermittently move the sleeve 318 up and down. Meanwhile, the elasticity of the spring 325 on the round rod 324... Under the action, the screening screen plate 311 can be intermittently vibrated; thus, the filter holes on the screening screen plate 311 can be prevented from becoming blocked, thereby increasing the flow of hot air in the dryer body 100; when it is necessary to recover the dried potassium chloride, the dried potassium chloride and hot air in the dryer body 100 can be drawn into the cyclone separator 411 by the exhaust fan 412 along the suction hood 423 and the connecting pipe 421; the cyclone separator 411 will separate the dried potassium chloride and hot air, making it convenient for the operator to recover the dried potassium chloride.
