At this time, the shell is under negative pressure, and the pressure generated is greater than the sum of the spring force and the pressure inside the tube. Then, the hydraulic rod is activated, which moves the sealing element downward. The sampled medium inside the tube will fill the shell. At this time, the first valve can be opened to remove the sampled medium. This device can sample the dehydration tower under negative pressure, reducing the amount of outside air entering the dehydration tower.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a sampling device, specifically an NMP depressurization dehydration tower sampling device, belonging to the field of chemical detection technology. Background Technology
[0002] NMP vacuum dehydration towers are used for the recovery of N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) solvent in lithium battery recycling or manufacturing processes. They achieve effective separation of water and NMP through vacuum decompression and cooling, ensuring the purity of the recovered solvent and the operational stability of the system.
[0003] During the dehydration process, to ensure operational safety and product quality, real-time monitoring and analysis of the liquid inside the tower are necessary. This is where the sampling device plays a crucial role. The sampling device is typically installed at an appropriate location within the dehydration tower, enabling the collection of representative samples while the system is running. This facilitates component analysis and process adjustments by the operators.
[0004] Existing sampling devices mostly employ a valve-connected sampling tube structure, installed on the side wall of a container or pipe, with sampling achieved by manually opening the valve. This type of device is simple in structure, easy to operate, and widely used in sampling analysis. However, it has certain shortcomings when applied to NMP vacuum dehydration towers. The dehydration tower operates under negative pressure, and the aforementioned method easily allows outside air to enter the tower, affecting its operation. Therefore, this paper proposes a sampling device for NMP vacuum dehydration towers. Utility Model Content

A first valve 203 is installed on the output tube 202 to control the opening and closing of the output tube 202.
[0027] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The housing 201 is provided with a negative pressure component 3 and a control component 4. The negative pressure component 3 is used to adjust the pressure state inside the housing 201. The negative pressure component 3 includes a mounting bracket 301, which can extract gas from the housing 201 to create a negative pressure environment inside the housing 201.
[0028] A vacuum pump 302 is installed on the mounting bracket 301. The output end of the vacuum pump 302 is connected to a pipe 303, which is connected to the housing 201. A second valve 304 is installed on the pipe 303, which is used to control the connection between the pipe 303 and the housing 201.
[0029] The control component 4 is used to control the communication state between the housing 201 and the tube 101. The control component 4 includes a seal 401, which is used to control the opening and closing of the tube 101 and the housing 201.
