Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coating reactor technology, and in particular to a stirring shaft and its vertical coating reactor. Background Technology

[0002] The coating tank in continuous granulation equipment is a commonly used industrial device, mainly used to form granules from powdered or granular raw materials through physical or chemical processes. Its working principle involves gradually heating the raw materials and mixing them with additives using mechanical and thermal forces to form a mixture with a certain moisture content. Then, the mixture is continuously propelled into the granulation chamber by rotation or vibration, undergoing processes such as compression, shaping, and solidification to ultimately form the desired granules.

[0003] The existing continuous granulation production method involves loading powder into a coating vessel, adding it to the surface of the vessel to make the powder boil (fluidize), then adding a mist binder. Under the protection of a nitrogen atmosphere, the powder mixed with additives is heated and stirred. During the boiling process, the surface tension of the liquid material increases, and the particles agglomerate and stick together to form the particles required by the process. Hot air is then introduced to dry the material, which is then transported to the granulation and drying reactor for further processing.

[0004] However, existing coating reactors are all horizontally positioned, similar to cooling reactors, and the powder requires prolonged stirring inside the reactor to achieve proper mixing and agglomeration. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a vertical rotary continuous granulation equipment to meet practical application requirements. Utility Model Content

This ensures that the powder is evenly distributed and stirred within the coating liner, and also allows the powder to be compressed against each other under its own weight, improving the fusion between the powder and the binder. This allows the powder to be repeatedly bonded, agglomerated, and enlarged, thus improving the granulation quality of the equipment. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] For this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-5 The specific implementation of the stirring shaft 3 includes a shaft 31 and several stirring blades 32. The stirring blades 32 are fan-shaped and horizontally arranged on the side wall of the shaft 31. The stirring blades 32 are arranged in a linear spiral structure on the side wall of the shaft 31. Adjacent stirring blades 32 are interleaved in the vertical direction.

[0023] In the above description, as a further solution, the outer edge of the stirring blade 32 is a vertically arranged scraper 33, and the scraper 33 and the stirring blade 32 are in a vertically perpendicular structure. The scraper 33 is an arc-shaped structure, and the outer edge of the stirring blades 32 on the same side is provided with connecting ribs 34. When the stirring shaft 3 rotates, the powder can form multiple cyclically stirred zones on the horizontally structured stirring blade 32, so that the powder can be repeatedly bonded and agglomerated.

[0024] A vertical coating vessel includes an outer shell 1, an inner liner 2, and the aforementioned stirring shaft 3. The outer shell 1 has an open structure at both the top and bottom. The inner liner 2 is disposed inside the outer shell 1, and both ends of the inner liner 2 penetrate through the top and bottom of the outer shell 1, respectively. The inner liner 2 has a cylindrical hollow structure. The stirring shaft 3 is inserted into the inner liner 2. The top of the inner liner 2 is provided with a support plate 6 and a drive mechanism 5. The stirring shaft 3 is rotatably disposed inside the inner liner 2 through the drive mechanism 5.

[0025] A heat insulation layer 7 is provided between the outer shell 1 and the inner liner 2 for filling. The side of the heat insulation layer 7 near the inner liner 2 has an outwardly recessed heat source cavity 71. The heating element is located inside the heat source cavity 71 to heat the inner liner 2.

[0026] A heating element (not shown) is positioned inside the heat source cavity 71 to heat the inner liner 2. The insulation layer 7 is composed of a cotton layer made of aluminosilicate fiber, and the heating element is composed of resistance bands. Aluminosilicate fiber is a new type of lightweight and energy-saving refractory material. It is a cotton-like inorganic fiber made from fused alumina as the main raw material, melted at a high temperature of 2100℃, and processed by high-speed centrifugation or blowing methods. Aluminosilicate fiber has advantages such as high temperature resistance, good thermal stability, low thermal conductivity, small heat capacity, good resistance to mechanical vibration, small thermal expansion, and good thermal insulation performance. When mixed with a cotton layer for weaving or knitting, it can be made into insulation layers 7 such as aluminosilicate fiber boards, aluminosilicate fiber felts, aluminosilicate fiber ropes, and aluminosilicate fiber blankets, effectively retaining the heat from the heating element on the surface of the inner liner 2, allowing the inner liner 2 to continuously receive heat for heating.

[0027] The installation structure between the stirring shaft 3 and the inner liner 2 is as follows: a mounting flange 61 is provided in the middle of the support plate 6, the top end of the stirring shaft 3 is rotatably set inside the mounting flange 61 through a bearing, a feeding pipe 62 is provided on one side of the support plate 6, one end of the feeding pipe 62 can extend to the top end of the inner liner 2 for conductive connection, the drive mechanism 5 includes a motor 51 and a reducer 52, the output shaft of the motor 51 is connected to the reducer 52, the top surface of the reducer 52 is provided with a rotatable drive gear 53, the top end of the stirring shaft 3 is provided with a driven gear 54, and the drive gear 53 and the driven gear 54 mesh and transmit power.

[0028] In the above description, as a further embodiment, the bottom of the inner liner 2 is provided with a conical section 4, and the bottom of the stirring shaft 3 is provided with scrapers 35 extending obliquely to both sides. The scrapers 35, scraper blades 33, and connecting ribs 34 respectively abut against the side walls of the conical section 4 and the inner liner 2. The scrapers 35, scraper blades 33, and connecting ribs 34 can scrape off the material adhering to the inner walls of the inner liner 2 and the inner walls of the conical section 4. At the same time, the scraper blades 33 and the stirring blades 32 are perpendicular to each other, so the powder can continuously roll against the inner wall of the inner liner 2 under the action of centrifugal force. Dynamic agglomeration improves the compatibility between powder and binder, allowing the powder to be repeatedly bonded and agglomerated to increase in size, thus improving the granulation quality of the equipment. At the same time, the coating vessel is set in a vertical structure on one side of the reactor, and a screw conveyor is set at the top and bottom of the coating vessel. The screw conveyor transports the powder and the agglomerated semi-finished material. During the powder mixing process, the powder can accumulate in the vertical coating inner liner 2. Under its own weight, the powder falls evenly into the interior of the coating inner liner 2.

[0029] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present invention. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all such modifications and substitutions should be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
