Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dehumidification equipment technology, and in particular to a rotary dehumidifier. Background Technology

[0002] Rotary dehumidifiers are widely used air dehumidification devices in industrial, commercial, and special environments (such as laboratories and archives). They utilize the principle of physical adsorption, rather than the condensation principle of traditional compressor dehumidifiers, to achieve deep, continuous dehumidification that is not limited by low temperatures. Their core component is a continuously rotating honeycomb-shaped rotor filled with moisture-absorbing material.

[0003] Existing rotary dehumidifiers require hot air dehumidification of the adsorbent on the rotor after dehumidification. This ensures that the water vapor adsorbed inside the adsorbent is removed from the adsorbent through the action of hot air, thus completing the recycling of the adsorbent. However, the hot air passes through a fixed channel in the existing technology. When the water vapor content of the adsorbent is high, the water vapor cannot be completely removed, affecting the dehumidification effect of the adsorbent.

[0004] In conclusion, the existing technology obviously has inconveniences and defects in practical use, so it is necessary to improve it. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, the purpose of this invention is to provide a rotary dehumidifier that, by setting up a hot air channel with adjustable ventilation area, ensures that when the dehumidification effect of the adsorbent weakens, the hot air passage time to the adsorbent is increased, thereby ensuring sufficient removal of moisture from the adsorbent and thus guaranteeing the adsorption effect of the adsorbent.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a rotary dehumidifier, comprising: a rotating wheel with a honeycomb opening inside, the honeycomb opening being filled with an adsorbent; hot air channels disposed on both sides of the rotating wheel, the hot air channels being provided with a connecting assembly outside the hot air channels, the connecting assembly comprising a fixed housing and a movable housing slidably connected inside the fixed housing, the fixed housing and the movable housing being combined to form the hot air channels, the movable housing being slidably adjusted to adjust the ventilation area of ​​the hot air channels.

[0007] In one embodiment, the axis of the rotating wheel is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft, the connecting assembly is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft, and both the fixed housing and the movable housing are rotatably sleeved on the rotating shaft.

[0008] In one embodiment, the bottoms of the fixed housing and the movable housing are close to the side of the rotating wheel, the movable housing is embedded inside the fixed housing, and the outer wall of the movable housing is close to the inner wall of the fixed housing to form a sealing surface.

[0009] In one embodiment, the fixed housing includes:

[0010] Rotate the baffle connected to the rotating shaft;

[0011] An open side shell is provided on one side of the baffle, and a slot corresponding to the baffle is provided on the side shell. The baffle is inserted into the slot, and an air port is provided on the outside of the side shell.

[0012] In one embodiment, the movable housing includes:

[0013] An inner housing is inserted into the opening, the outer wall of the inner housing is in close contact with the inner wall of the side housing, and the opening of the inner housing communicates with the side housing;

[0014] A rotating sleeve fixed to the inner shell is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft. The rotating sleeve rotates relative to the baffle to adjust the relative position of the inner shell and the side shell.

[0015] In one embodiment, a mounting sleeve is fixedly connected to the baffle, the mounting sleeve is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft, and the bottom of the rotating sleeve abuts against the top of the mounting sleeve.

[0016] In one embodiment, both the inner shell and the side shell include an arc-shaped plate and a side plate, the arc-shaped plate being disposed corresponding to the outer wall of the rotating wheel, and the arc-shaped plate and the side plate being combined to form a hot air channel.

[0017] In one embodiment, the top of the rotating sleeve is provided with a driven gear, and a drive motor for driving the driven gear to rotate is fixed on the fixed housing.

[0018] In summary, the technical effects achieved by this utility model are:

[0019] 1. By setting two opposing connecting components, a sealed hot air channel can be formed on both sides of the rotating wheel. During the rotation of the rotating wheel, the connecting components can always seal the rotating wheel part entering the connecting components to ensure that the hot air can always flow inside the hot air channel, thereby drying the adsorbent and ensuring the adsorption effect of the adsorbent.

[0020] 2. By setting up a structure that allows for adjustment of the flow area of ​​the hot air channel, the flow area can be adjusted when the drying effect of the adsorbent is poor, thereby adjusting the drying effect of the adsorbent. Attached Figure Description

[0030] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a rotary dehumidifier, which includes a rotating wheel 1 with honeycomb openings 2 inside. The honeycomb openings 2 are filled with adsorbent. The honeycomb openings 2 and the adsorbent work together to dehumidify the passing gas, adsorbing the moisture in the gas into the adsorbent, ensuring a normal dehumidification effect. The honeycomb openings 2 also increase the contact area between the gas and the adsorbent, ensuring thorough dehumidification. Hot air channels are located on both sides of the rotating wheel 1. By supplying hot air into these channels, the hot air acts on the water vapor adsorbed inside the adsorbent, causing the water vapor to evaporate and mix with the hot air before being discharged, thus drying the adsorbent. A connecting assembly is provided outside the hot air channel. This assembly includes a fixed housing 3 and a movable housing 4 slidably connected inside the fixed housing 3. The fixed housing 3 and the movable housing 4 combine to form the hot air channel. The movable housing 4 allows for adjustment of the airflow area of ​​the hot air channel, thereby regulating the drying effect of the adsorbent and ensuring normal recycling of the adsorbent for dehumidifying the gas.

[0031] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 To ensure the rotational effect between the connecting assembly and the rotating wheel 1, a rotating shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the axis of the rotating wheel 1 to ensure normal installation and rotation of the rotating wheel 1. The connecting assembly is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 5. Both the fixed housing 3 and the movable housing 4 are rotatably sleeved 42 onto the rotating shaft 5. The bottoms of the fixed housing 3 and the movable housing 4 are close to the side of the rotating wheel 1 to ensure that the fixed housing 3 and the movable housing 4 can cooperate with the rotating wheel 1 to form a sealed structure, preventing hot air from leaking from the inside of the hot air channel and affecting the drying effect of the hot air channel on the adsorbent. The movable housing 4 is embedded inside the fixed housing 3, and the outer wall of the movable housing 4 is close to the inner wall of the fixed housing 3 to form a sealing surface, ensuring that the fixed housing 3 and the movable housing 4 can fit tightly and seal, ensuring that the hot air channel can be closed and the adsorbent inside the rotating wheel 1 can be fully dried.

[0032] In one exemplary implementation, see Figure 3To ensure the installation of the fixed housing 3 with the rotating wheel 1 and the rotating shaft 5, the fixed housing 3 includes: a baffle 6 rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 5, which restricts the position of the fixed housing 3 to ensure the installation effect of the fixed housing 3; an open side housing is provided on one side of the baffle 6, and a slot 31 corresponding to the baffle 6 is provided on the side housing. The baffle 6 is inserted into the slot 31 to ensure that the baffle 6 can form an integral structure with the side housing, thereby restricting the position of the fixed housing 3 and ensuring that the fixed housing 3 can rotate synchronously with the baffle 6; and an air port 32 is provided on the outside of the side housing to ensure that hot air can be supplied to the inside or air can be discharged, thereby ensuring the drying effect of the adsorbent.

[0033] Preferably, in order to ensure the normal use and installation of the movable housing 4, the movable housing 4 includes: an inner housing inserted into the opening, the outer wall of the inner housing being in close contact with the inner wall of the side housing, and the opening of the inner housing communicating with the side housing, so as to ensure that the size of the gas flow area inside the hot air channel can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the inner housing;

[0034] A rotating sleeve 42 is fixed on the inner shell and rotates on the rotating shaft 5. The rotating sleeve 42 rotates relative to the baffle 6 to adjust the relative position of the inner shell and the side shell, thereby ensuring the normal installation and adjustment of the baffle 6.

[0035] In addition, combined Figure 4 and Figure 5 To ensure the proper installation of the baffle 6, an installation sleeve 61 is fixedly connected to the baffle 6. The installation sleeve 61 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 5. The bottom of the rotating sleeve 42 abuts against the top of the installation sleeve 61. Both the inner shell and the side shell include an arc plate 43 and a side plate 44. The arc plate 43 is correspondingly set to the outer wall of the rotating wheel 1. The arc plate 43 and the side plate 44 are combined to form a hot air channel, ensuring the proper construction and closure of the hot air channel. The top of the rotating sleeve 42 is provided with a driven gear 41. A drive motor that drives the driven gear 41 to rotate is fixed on the fixed shell 3. The angle between the movable shell 4 and the fixed shell 3 is adjusted by the drive motor.

[0036] In use, hot air is introduced through the air inlet 32 ​​on one side of the rotating wheel 1. The rotating wheel 1 then rotates slowly. After adsorbing the water vapor from the external gas, the adsorbent that has adsorbed the water vapor rotates into the interior of the hot air channel. Under the action of the hot air, the adsorbent in this area is dried. If the adsorbent is not completely dried (i.e., the dehumidification effect of the adsorbent is not good at this time), the driven motor drives the driven gear 41 to rotate, thereby driving the movable housing 4 to rotate. At this time, the flow area of ​​the hot air channel increases, and the drying time of the adsorbent increases, thus ensuring the adjustment of the adsorbent effect.

[0037] 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.
