Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pneumatic conveying system technology, and in particular to a soda ash negative pressure pneumatic conveying system based on a Roots blower. Background Technology
[0002] In the chemical and glass manufacturing industries, soda ash (sodium carbonate) is a bulk granular raw material, and its transportation from the packaging area to the storage warehouse has long relied on mechanical conveying equipment such as screw conveyors and bucket elevators.
[0003] Open conveying systems (screw conveyors, bucket elevators) cause material spillage and dust emission, resulting in environmental pollution. Furthermore, soda ash is highly abrasive (Mohs hardness 1.5-2.0), and the mechanical moving parts (such as screw blades and bucket elevator chains) directly contact the material, necessitating frequent shutdowns to replace core components. Therefore, this application provides a soda ash negative pressure pneumatic conveying system based on a Roots blower to meet these requirements. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a negative pressure pneumatic conveying system for soda ash based on a Roots blower, which can prevent material spillage and dust emission during open conveying (screw conveyor, bucket elevator) processes, thereby preventing environmental pollution.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A negative pressure pneumatic conveying system for soda ash based on a Roots blower includes: Roots blower, and exhaust duct connected to the inlet of the Roots blower and the outlet of the Roots blower; The dust removal equipment includes a cyclone separator and a pulse bag filter connected in series from bottom to top. The top of the dust removal equipment is connected to an exhaust pipe, and the lower cyclone separator of the dust removal equipment is connected to a feeding pipe. The bottom of the dust removal equipment is connected to the storage silo via a discharger.
[0006] Furthermore, the feeding pipe is connected to a suction hose, which is suspended by an electric hoist.
[0007] Furthermore, a silencer is also installed on the exhaust duct.
[0008] Furthermore, the Roots blower is installed in a soundproof room, and the exhaust pipe, ventilation pipe, and feeding pipe are all arranged in the soundproof room.
[0009] Furthermore, the cyclone separator has a processing capacity of 2000 m³ / h, the pulse bag filter has a filtration area of 40 m², a filter bag precision of 5 μm, and a cleaning pressure of 0.6 MPa.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: This invention utilizes a Roots blower to generate negative pressure for conveying soda ash, avoiding the dust spillage that occurs with open conveying systems and preventing damage to mechanical parts caused by contact between the soda ash and moving parts. The soda ash powder is conveyed through a feeding pipe to a dust removal system, where it is filtered by a cyclone separator and a pulse-jet bag filter, resulting in clean air being discharged and preventing air pollution. The exhaust pipes, ventilation pipes, and feeding pipes at the Roots blower operation point are all located within a soundproof enclosure for the Roots blower, while the suction hose is located outside the soundproof enclosure, effectively isolating it from noise pollution.

[0021] like Figure 1As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a soda ash negative pressure pneumatic conveying system based on a Roots blower, comprising: The dust collector includes a Roots blower 2, an exhaust duct 8 connected to the inlet of the Roots blower 2, and an exhaust duct 10 connected to the outlet of the Roots blower 2; a dust removal device 7, which includes a cyclone separator 71 and a pulse bag filter 72 connected in series from bottom to top along the airflow direction, with the exhaust duct 8 connected to the top of the dust removal device 7 and above the pulse bag filter 72, and a feeding duct 9 connected to the lower part of the dust removal device 7, below the pulse bag filter 72, and in the cyclone separator 71; and a storage bin 5, with the bottom of the dust removal device 7 connected to the storage bin 5 via a discharger 6.
[0022] The feeding pipe 9 is connected to a suction hose 3, which is suspended at a high position by an electric hoist 4 and can be flexibly moved and inserted into the ton bag 1.
[0023] The exhaust duct 10 is also equipped with a silencer, specifically a silencer cover or other silencer structure.
[0024] The Roots blower 2 is installed in the Roots blower soundproof room 21, and the inlet ends of the exhaust pipe 10, the ventilation pipe 8, and the feeding pipe 9 are all arranged in the soundproof room.
[0025] The cyclone separator 71 has a processing capacity of 2000 m³ / h, the pulse bag filter 72 has a filtration area of 40 m², a filter bag precision of 5 μm, and a dust removal pressure of 0.6 MPa.
[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the suction hose 3 is inserted into the ton bag 1, the Roots blower 2 is started, and the high-pressure air generated by the Roots blower 2 forms an airflow. A negative pressure is formed in the dust removal equipment 7, which allows the bulk soda ash powder to be transported to the cyclone separator 71 through the feeding pipe 9. The soda ash powder undergoes primary filtration through the cyclone separator 71, and secondary filtration is performed by the pulse bag dust collector 72 above. The filtered clean air is extracted through the exhaust pipe 8 and discharged through the exhaust pipe 10. The filtered soda ash powder is temporarily stored in the cyclone separator 71. After the Roots blower 2 is turned off, the unloader 6 is opened to discharge the soda ash to the storage silo 5 for storage.
[0027] When the Roots blower 2 is working, the front ends of the exhaust pipe 8, the ventilation pipe 10, and the feeding pipe 9 connected to the Roots blower 2 are all located in the soundproof room 21 of the Roots blower. The suction hose 3 is outside the soundproof room 21 of the Roots blower, which is convenient for the staff to operate and is not affected by noise.
