Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed machinery technology, and in particular to a steam moisture regulator applied to a conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] In feed production lines, especially in pelleting and extrusion lines, steam conditioning is required for pelleting and extrusion raw materials. Steam is added to the conditioner through steam pipes and mixed thoroughly with the materials to adjust the moisture and temperature of the raw materials before pelleting or extrusion, so as to improve product quality and yield.

[0003] The optimal state of steam required for the above conditioning is saturated steam. However, in actual production, the steam provided is often unsaturated steam (with high water content) or superheated steam (with an actual temperature higher than the temperature under the rated pressure). Unsaturated steam will result in higher moisture content and lower temperature of the raw materials after conditioning, while superheated steam will result in lower moisture content and higher temperature of the raw materials after conditioning. Both of these will have an adverse effect on the production process and product quality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: in order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a steam moisture regulator that can convert unsaturated steam or superheated steam into saturated steam.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a steam moisture regulator, including a tank body, with an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe fixedly connected to the side wall of the tank body symmetrical with respect to the tank body axis, and a vertical partition plate fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the tank body, which is biased towards the side of the inlet pipe. The vertical partition plate divides the inner cavity of the tank body into an inlet chamber and an outlet chamber. The inlet chamber and the outlet chamber are respectively connected to the tank body through the gap between the upper and lower ends of the vertical partition plate. Several fins are provided on the surface of the vertical partition plate facing the inlet chamber. A water inlet pipe is connected to the top of the tank body, and a water outlet pipe for discharging excess water is connected to the bottom of the tank body.

[0006] Preferably, the fins are arranged at equal intervals from top to bottom on the surface of the vertical partition, and the fins are in a herringbone shape.

[0007] Furthermore, the tank body has a water inlet at the top, the end of the water inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the water inlet, and a water flow regulating valve is installed on the water inlet pipe.

[0008] Furthermore, the tank body has a water outlet at the bottom, and the end of the water outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the water outlet. A shut-off valve and a drain valve are installed sequentially on the water outlet pipe.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this invention are: this invention utilizes vertical baffles and fins to condense and discharge the moisture in unsaturated steam, thus converting unsaturated steam into saturated steam; or it absorbs the heat in superheated steam by adding cooling water, thus converting superheated steam into saturated steam, thereby meeting the requirements of subsequent conditioners.

[0014] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0015] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 The steam moisture regulator shown includes a cylindrical tank 1, with an inlet pipe 2 and an outlet pipe 3 connected to the lower side wall of the tank 1. The inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 3 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the axis of the tank 1. An inlet flange is fixed to the outer end of the inlet pipe 2, and an outlet flange is fixed to the outer end of the outlet pipe 3.

[0016] The inner cavity of the tank body 1 is provided with a vertical partition 4, which is set off to one side of the steam inlet pipe 2. The vertical partition 4 vertically divides the inner cavity of the tank body 1 into a steam inlet chamber 5 and a steam outlet chamber 6. There is an upper channel between the upper end of the vertical partition 4 and the inner wall of the top of the tank body 1, and a lower channel between the lower end of the vertical partition 4 and the inner wall of the bottom of the tank body 1. The steam inlet chamber 5 and the steam outlet chamber 6 are connected by the upper channel and the lower channel, respectively. Three sets of herringbone-shaped fins 7 are arranged at equal intervals from top to bottom on the upper half surface of the vertical partition 4 facing the steam inlet chamber 5.

[0017] The tank body 1 has a water inlet 10 at the top, and a water inlet pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the water inlet 10. A water flow regulating valve 11 is installed on the water inlet pipe 8. The tank body 1 has a water outlet 12 at the bottom, and a water outlet pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the water outlet 12. A shut-off valve 13 and a drain valve 14 are installed sequentially on the water outlet pipe 9.

[0018] With the moisture regulator using the above structure, when the steam entering through the steam inlet pipe 2 is unsaturated steam, small water droplets in the steam will continuously adhere to the vertical baffle 4 and fins 7. As the water droplets accumulate, they will drip down the surface of the vertical baffle 4 to the outlet 12 at the lower end of the tank body 1 and enter the outlet pipe 9. When the shut-off valve 13 is opened, the mixture of water droplets and steam will enter the steam trap 14, which will separate and discharge the water droplets. In this way, the unsaturated steam entering through the steam inlet pipe 2 becomes saturated steam by separating the water in it, and then enters the subsequent equipment through the steam outlet pipe 3, thus meeting the usage requirements.

[0019] When the steam entering from the steam inlet pipe 2 is superheated steam, the water flow regulating valve 11 on the water inlet pipe 8 at the upper end of the tank 1 is opened, and an appropriate amount of cooling water will enter the tank 1. Inside the tank 1, the water will mix and vaporize with the superheated steam, causing the temperature of the superheated steam to drop. At the same time, the water absorbs heat and turns into steam. Excess water is discharged from the water outlet pipe 9 at the lower end of the tank 1 and separated from the water by the steam trap. In this way, the superheated steam entering the tank 1 will become saturated steam and enter the subsequent equipment from the steam outlet pipe 3.

[0020] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
