Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of fluid pipeline feeding control, specifically referring to a circulating feeding vacuum defoaming machine. Background Technology

[0002] The circulating feed vacuum defoamer is based on the principle of pipeline transportation. It uses a pump to draw slurry from the feed tank and supply it to the coating box. Unused slurry flows back to the defoamer by gravity. The defoamer, combined with high vacuum and a high-speed rotating impeller, quickly destroys stubborn small air bubbles before returning to the feed tank, achieving bubble-free feeding. In the circulating feed condition, because the slurry is constantly circulating, more and more air bubbles are generated, directly leading to coating defects and other quality problems. It also causes labor and slurry waste when too many air bubbles need to be removed. Therefore, such equipment is particularly needed in the field of fluid circulating feed. Utility Model Content

[0023] A second electric regulating valve 14 is installed through the upper end of the outer side wall of the feeding tank 1. A third pneumatic motor 17 is installed at the top of the feeding tank 1. A first drive shaft is installed at the output end of the third pneumatic motor 17. A stirring rod is provided on the first drive shaft. A third liquid level gauge 20 is installed on the side wall of the feeding tank 1.

[0024] A first pneumatic motor 15 is installed at the top of the first defoaming tank 4. A second drive shaft is installed at the output end of the first pneumatic motor 15. A first rotating impeller is installed at the bottom end of the second drive shaft. A first filter screen is fixedly sleeved on the side wall of the second drive shaft.

[0029] One end of the second electric regulating valve 14 is connected to an external material supply source.

[0030] In practical use, connect the circulating feeding vacuum defoamer to the pipeline and start automatic feeding; set the liquid level and vacuum range of feeding tank 1, the speed of feeding pump 2, the liquid level and vacuum range of the first defoaming tank 4 and the second defoaming tank 5, the opening range of the first electric regulating valve 13 and the second electric regulating valve 14, the switching time of the first defoaming tank 4 and the second defoaming tank 5 and the defoaming time system parameters on the human-machine interface, and click Start Feeding.

[0031] Slurry replenishment: The intelligent control system cabinet 30 starts the third pneumatic motor 17 and simultaneously starts the second vacuum device 7. The feed tank 1 is vacuumed to -40 kPa, and the remaining slurry in the feed tank 1 is checked to see if it meets the feeding requirements. If it does not meet the feeding requirements, the second electric regulating valve 14 is opened to automatically adjust the opening and replenish the feed tank 1. After reaching the high liquid level, the second electric regulating valve 14 is closed. At this time, the vacuum is maintained and the mixture is slowly stirred to remove bubbles. The replenishment is then completed.

[0032] Slurry feeding: The system feeds continuously in two ways. The first way is to connect the first defoaming tank 4 and the feeding tank 1 in series to achieve cyclic feeding. The second way is to connect the second defoaming tank 5 and the feeding tank 1 in series to achieve cyclic feeding.

[0033] After automatic feeding is started, the system initially defaults to the first feeding path and opens the first pneumatic valve 9, the third pneumatic valve 11, and the first electric regulating valve 13, simultaneously starting the feeding pump 2. The feeding pump 2 uniformly delivers the slurry in the feeding tank 1 to the coating box 21. Any unused slurry enters the first defoaming tank 4 through the fifth pipe 26 for buffering. Then, under the vacuum (-40 kPa) effect of the feeding tank 1 and the automatic adjustment of the opening of the first electric regulating valve 13 according to the liquid level, it flows back to the feeding tank 1. The feeding pump 2 then uniformly delivers the slurry in the feeding tank 1 to the coating box 21. Simultaneously, the system counts down, and upon reaching the set time, automatically switches to the second feeding path, opening the second pneumatic valve 10 and the fourth pneumatic valve 12 while simultaneously closing the first pneumatic valve 9 and the third pneumatic valve 11. At this time, the system... The slurry in tank 4 is defoamed. The second feeding line delivers the slurry in tank 1 to coating box 21 at a constant speed via the feeding pump 2. The unused slurry enters the second defoaming tank 5 through the sixth pipe 27 and is then buffered. It is then returned to tank 1 by the vacuum (-40kPa) of tank 1 and the opening of the first electric regulating valve 13, which is automatically adjusted according to the liquid level. Then, the feeding pump 2 delivers the slurry in tank 1 to coating box 21 at a constant speed. At the same time, the system counts down. When the set time is reached, the first feeding line is automatically switched. The first pneumatic valve 9 and the third pneumatic valve 11 are opened, while the second pneumatic valve 10 and the fourth pneumatic valve 12 are closed. At this time, the system defoams the slurry in the second defoaming tank 5. This cycle continues. When the slurry in tank 1 reaches a low level, the feeding process is restarted. The feeding is carried out continuously.

[0034] Slurry defoaming: After switching the feeding between the first defoaming tank 4 and the second defoaming tank 5, the system automatically selects the defoaming tank that is not being fed for defoaming. If the first defoaming tank 4 is selected, the first pneumatic motor 15 is started to drive the first rotating impeller to rotate at high speed. At the same time, the first vacuum device 6 is started to draw the first defoaming tank 4 to a negative pressure of >-80kPa. Large bubbles are quickly destroyed under the vacuum. Small bubbles that are not destroyed are lifted to the first filter screen by the vacuum suction. Under the vacuum state, the impeller centrifugal force quickly breaks the bubbles, achieving a perfect defoaming effect. At the same time, a countdown begins. After the defoaming time is reached, the first pneumatic motor 15 is stopped and turned off. The first vacuum device 6 opens the vacuum breaker 8 to break the vacuum in the first defoaming tank 4. Defoaming is completed and ready for switching. The above is the overall working process of this utility model. This step can be repeated for the next use.

[0035] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0036] This invention uses a vacuum discharge tank combined with a self-priming pump to ensure stable and bubble-free slurry supply, thus avoiding quality problems such as missed coating and defects. This invention also uses a defoaming tank to remove bubbles from the returned slurry, thus avoiding the problems of labor and slurry waste caused by excessive bubbles.

[0037] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
