Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plywood production technology, specifically to a waste heat recovery device for plywood production. Background Technology

[0002] Plywood production involves rotary cutting or slicing logs of a certain size to obtain veneers, followed by drying, gluing, assembly, hot pressing, and other processes to finally produce products that meet national standards and the standards agreed upon by both the supplier and the buyer.

[0003] Patent CN211641398U discloses a waste heat recovery device for printing production. It includes a base, a heat exchange box, an air inlet pipe, a fan, a connecting pipe, a suction hood, an exhaust pipe, a water inlet pipe, a spiral heat exchange tube, a water outlet pipe, a water tank, a filter box, a filter screen cylinder, and a discharge pipe. The heat exchange box has an internal cavity. The device evenly places the suction hood in the printing workshop. The fan guides hot air into the heat exchange box to fully contact the spiral heat exchange tube. The water in the spiral heat exchange tube absorbs the heat. The corrugated tube has a large contact area with the hot air, resulting in a good heat exchange effect. At the same time, the filter screen removes ink dust from the hot air, reducing air pollution.

[0004] However, the existing device directly introduces the flue gas with waste heat into the heat exchange box to heat the water in the spiral heat exchange tube. But the dust or other substances contained in the flue gas in the heat exchange box will inevitably cause a lot of impurities to adhere to the outside of the spiral heat exchange tube if they are in direct contact with the spiral heat exchange tube for a long time. This will affect the waste heat heating of the water in the spiral heat exchange tube, that is, affect the recovery of waste heat. To address this issue, a waste heat recovery device for plywood production is proposed to solve the problem that the existing recovery device is difficult to clean and thus affects the recovery of waste heat.

[0012] This waste heat recovery device for plywood production, when the heat exchange tubes need cleaning, closes the solenoid valves on the outside of the air inlet pipe, exhaust pipe, and connecting pipe on the side of the used heat exchange tank. While continuing to recover waste heat using the clean heat exchange tank on the other side, the solenoid valve on the outside of the water injection pipe on the side of the heat exchange tube to be cleaned is opened, water is pumped into the cleaning spray pipe and sprayed onto the heat exchange tube with attached impurities. At the same time, the electric push rod is activated to drive the U-shaped frame along with the brush to scrape and clean the heat exchange tube.

[0022] Furthermore, the top of the water tank 2 is provided with a water inlet and a sealing plug is provided inside the water inlet. One end of the water tank 2 is provided with a drain pipe and a valve is provided outside the drain pipe. The heat exchange pipe 7 is connected to the water tank 2 and the connecting pipe 11. The bottom of the inner cavity of the heat exchange tank is provided with a conical groove, which is connected to the waste liquid pipe 13.

[0023] Furthermore, the air inlet pipe 3 is interconnected with the two heat exchange tanks in the heat exchange box 5, the exhaust pipe 8 is interconnected with the two heat exchange tanks in the heat exchange box 5, the connecting pipe 11 is interconnected with the heat exchange tanks, the water injection pipe 12 is interconnected with the connecting pipe 11, and the waste liquid pipe 13 is interconnected with both the heat exchange box 5 and the waste liquid tank 14.

[0024] Furthermore, the electric push rod 17 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped frame 15. When the U-shaped frame 15 is moved into the heat exchange tank, the brush 16 and the heat exchange tube 7 are in flexible compression contact. The water injection pipe 12 is interconnected with the cleaning spray pipe 19. The weight of the cover plate 6 is greater than the impact force of the water sprayed from the cleaning spray pipe 19.

[0025] Furthermore, the processing mechanism 9 includes a processing tank 901 located at one end of the water tank 2. A drain pipe 902 is provided on one side of the processing tank 901, and a control valve is provided on the outside of the drain pipe 902. An inlet is provided on the top of the processing tank 901.

[0026] Furthermore, a filter box 903 is provided at one end of the processing box 901. A slot 904 is provided at the upper part of the intersection of the processing box 901 and the filter box 903. A filter element 905 is provided inside the filter box 903. A second exhaust pipe 906 is provided at one end of the filter box 903. The temperature of the high-temperature flue gas will be reduced under the action of the heat exchange tube 7 in the heat exchange box 5, and it will be discharged into the water in the processing box 901 through the exhaust pipe 8, thereby treating the water-soluble substances in the flue gas.

[0027] Working Principle: When using this waste heat recovery device for plywood production, the high-temperature flue gas generated during plywood production is introduced into the heat exchange box 5 through the inlet pipe 3, and the solenoid valve 18 on one side of the inlet pipe 3 is closed. At the same time, the water pump 10 is turned on to draw low-temperature water from the water tank 2 into the heat exchange tube 7 through the connecting pipe 11. The heat introduced into the heat exchange box 5 is then used to heat the water in the heat exchange tube 7, thereby achieving the purpose of waste heat recovery. When the surface of the heat exchange tube 7 is covered with dust and impurities contained in the flue gas, the inlet pipe 3, exhaust pipe 8, and the solenoid valve 18 on the outside of the connecting pipe 11 on the used heat exchange tank side are closed. While the waste heat is being recovered using the clean heat exchange tank on the other side, the heat exchange tube to be cleaned is opened. The solenoid valve 18 on the outside of the water injection pipe 12 on one side of the tube 7 draws water into the cleaning spray pipe 19 and sprays it onto the heat exchange tube 7 with attached impurities. At the same time, the electric push rod 17 is activated to drive the U-shaped frame 15 and the brush 16 to scrape and clean the heat exchange tube 7, which solves the problem that the internal cleaning of the existing recovery device is difficult and affects the waste heat recovery. By opening and closing the solenoid valves 18 on the outside of each pipe, the high-temperature flue gas does not need to be stopped during the cleaning of the heat exchange tube 7, thus ensuring the waste heat recovery efficiency of this device. The wastewater containing impurities generated during the cleaning of the heat exchange tube 7 will accumulate in the heat exchange tank. At this time, the solenoid valve 18 on the outside of the waste liquid pipe 13 can be opened to directly discharge the wastewater into the waste liquid tank 14.
