Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cenosphere processing technology, specifically a cenosphere drying oven with adjustable temperature and humidity. Background Technology

[0002] Cenospheres are hollow spheres of fly ash that can float on water. They are grayish-white, thin-walled, hollow, very lightweight, with a closed and smooth surface and low thermal conductivity. They are excellent thermal insulation and refractory materials and are widely used in the production of lightweight castables and in oil drilling. After production, cenospheres generally need to be dehydrated.

[0003] However, the dehydration effect of general dehydration equipment on the market is not very good, resulting in the particle size distribution after dehydration failing to meet user requirements. This significantly increases production costs and reduces work efficiency. Therefore, existing particle size distribution equipment cannot meet user needs and causes inconvenience to work. Chinese patent discloses a cenosphere dehydration device (authorization announcement number CN212390773U). This patented technology achieves good dehydration effect by using the coordinated use of the outer shell, inner shell, heating wire, protective shell, support rod, motor, rotating shaft, stirring shaft and stirring blades of the device. This solves the problem of poor dehydration effect of general cenosphere dehydration devices, so that the dehydrated cenospheres can meet people's needs, reduce production costs, improve work efficiency, make people more at ease, further meet people's needs, and bring convenience to people's work.

[0004] However, it has certain drawbacks: after dehydration, the movable door needs to be opened and the operator needs to manually remove the floating beads from the inner shell. This feeding method is inefficient. At the same time, the operator needs to directly contact the surface of the high-temperature inner shell and the residual area of ​​the rotating parts, which poses a serious risk of burns. This has become a key defect that restricts the safety and automation level of production. Utility Model Content

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a connecting rod is fixedly sleeved on the outer left end of the stirring rod, and a sliding rod is embedded and slidably connected inside the end of the connecting rod away from the stirring rod. A spring is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding rod inside the connecting rod, and a scraper is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding rod outside the connecting rod.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the right end of the inner tank body is movably attached to the tank cover, the feed pipe is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the outer tank body, the stirring rod is located inside the inner tank body, the lower end of the C-shaped seat is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base, the second telescopic cylinder is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base and is located on the left side of the C-shaped seat, and the upper end of the slide rail is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the outer tank body.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the first support block is fixed to one side surface of the outer tank body, and the second support block is fixed to one side surface of the tank lid.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the spring is fixed inside the connecting rod, and the scraper is movably attached to the inner surface of the inner tank.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention uses a telescopic cylinder to drive the can lid to detach from the outer can body to open the can. At the same time, a telescopic cylinder lifts the hinge block and pushes the outer can body to tilt to the right around the C-shaped seat, forming a discharge port that is higher on the left and lower on the right. The stirring rod rotates continuously, causing the spring-pressed polyether ether ketone scraper to stick to the inner wall of the inner can and scrape off residual floating beads, so that the dried material automatically slides down the tilted can wall. This effectively solves the problem of unloading caused by manual material removal and can wall adhesion in traditional drying boxes, and significantly improves the material unloading efficiency.

A telescopic cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the left side surface of the support block 5, and a second support block 7 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 6. On one side surface of the can lid 3, the inner can body 8 is fixedly connected to the left side surface of the outer can body 2. The right end of the inner can body 8 is movably attached to the can lid 3. The left end of the upper surface of the inner can body 8 is fixedly connected to the feed pipe 9 that communicates with its interior. The feed pipe 9 passes through and is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the outer can body 2. The heating pipe 10 is wound around the right side of the feed pipe 9 on the outside of the inner can body 8. The motor 11 is fixedly connected to the left side surface of the outer can body 2. The output end of the motor 11 is fixedly connected to the stirring rod 12, which is located inside the inner can body 8. The outer tank body 2 is a canister structure with an opening at the right end. It is made of stainless steel and its inner wall is filled with rock wool / ceramic fiber for heat insulation. The telescopic cylinder 6 is preferably a pneumatic cylinder. Its initial state is the retracted state, at which time the can cover 3 is attached to the outer can body 2. After it is extended, the can cover 3 moves away from the outer can body 2 and is used to feed the dried floats. The inner tank body 8 is a canning structure with openings at both the left and right ends. It is made of aluminum alloy, which has a high thermal conductivity. A temperature and humidity sensor is installed on the inner left side surface of the outer tank body 2 and inside the inner tank body 8 to detect temperature and humidity. The temperature and humidity sensor is connected to a PLC controller, which dynamically adjusts the power of the heating tube 10 and the speed of the motor 11 through a PID algorithm: when the humidity is greater than the set threshold, the heating tube 10 heats up and the speed of the motor 11 increases. Feed pipe 9 is used for feeding and for the discharge of water vapor during the drying process; Heating element 10 is an electric heating element, which can adjust the heating temperature and reduce humidity through heating; Motor 11 is preferably a variable frequency motor, which can adjust the speed; The stirring rod 12 is used to stir the microspheres, improve drying efficiency, and prevent the microspheres from clumping together.

[0016] exist Figure 1 and Figure 4In the middle: C-shaped seats 13 are rotatably connected to the right ends of the front and rear surfaces of the outer tank body 2. The lower end of the C-shaped seats 13 is fixed to the upper surface of the base 1. A lifting mechanism 14 is provided at the left end of the lower surface of the outer tank body 2. The lifting mechanism 14 includes a telescopic cylinder 15. The telescopic cylinder 15 is fixed to the upper surface of the base 1 and is located on the left side of the C-shaped seat 13. The telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 15 is rotatably connected to a hinge block 16. The upper end of the hinge block 16 is slidably connected to a slide rail 17 in the left and right directions. The upper end of the slide rail 17 is fixed to the lower surface of the outer tank body 2. Telescopic cylinder 2 15 is a cylinder. Its initial state is the retracted state, at which time the outer tank body 2 is in a horizontal state. After the telescopic cylinder 2 15 extends, it raises the left end of the outer tank body 2, which makes it easier to unload the floats without having to manually remove them bit by bit. The upper end of the hinge block 16 is fixed with an integrally formed T-shaped block, and the lower surface of the slide rail 17 is provided with a T-shaped groove that matches the T-shaped block, so that the hinge block 16 can slide stably left and right without displacement in other directions.

[0017] exist Figure 2 and Figure 5 In the middle: A connecting rod 18 is fixedly sleeved on the outer left end of the stirring rod 12. A sliding rod 19 is slidably connected to the end of the connecting rod 18 away from the stirring rod 12. A spring 20 is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding rod 19 inside the connecting rod 18. The spring 20 is fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting rod 18. A scraper 21 is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding rod 19 outside the connecting rod 18. The scraper 21 is movably attached to the inner surface of the inner tank body 8. The slide bar 19 is preferably a quadrangular prism so that it will not rotate inside the connecting rod 18; The scraper 21 is used to scrape off the floating beads that adhere to the inner surface of the inner tank 8, so as to avoid adhesion that would prevent the material from being discharged normally. The scraper 21 is preferably made of polyetheretherketone, which is resistant to high temperatures and wear. Spring 20 ensures that scraper 21 always adheres to the inner surface of the inner tank body 8.

[0018] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: After the float beads are put into the feed pipe 9, the heating pipe 10 is started to heat the inner tank body 8. At the same time, the motor 11 drives the stirring rod 12 to rotate so that the float beads are heated evenly. The temperature and humidity sensor monitors the data in real time. The heating pipe 10 controls the humidity through temperature regulation. The water vapor generated during drying is discharged through the feed pipe 9. After drying is completed, the telescopic cylinder 16 extends to push the tank cover 3 away from the outer tank body 2. At the same time, the telescopic cylinder 25 lifts the hinge block 16, so that the outer tank body 2 tilts to the right around the C-shaped seat 13. The stirring rod 12 continues to rotate. Its connecting rod 18 pushes the sliding rod 19 through the spring 20, so that the scraper 21 sticks to the inner wall of the inner tank body 8 to scrape off the residual float beads. The dried material is automatically discharged through the tilted tank opening.
