Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of spray dryers, specifically a drip-proof device for atomizing nozzles of spray dryers. Background Technology
[0002] Spray dryers are widely used material dehydration equipment in industries such as chemical, food, and pharmaceutical. The performance of their core component, the atomizing nozzle, directly affects product quality and energy efficiency. During equipment operation, when the high-pressure liquid delivery system stops spraying, residual liquid often forms hanging droplets at the nozzle outlet. These droplets fall to the bottom of the drying tower under gravity, which can easily lead to the following problems: Material contamination: The dripping liquid cokes after contacting the high-temperature tower wall, mixing into the finished product and reducing its purity; Equipment wear and tear: The accumulation of droplets with high solid content requires frequent shutdowns for cleaning, increasing maintenance costs; Process waste: The leakage of high-value materials (such as protein extracts and pharmaceutical intermediates) causes direct economic losses.
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, a drip-proof device for the atomizing nozzle of a spray dryer is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an anti-drip device for the atomizing nozzle of a spray dryer in order to solve the problems mentioned above.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A drip-proof device for atomizing nozzles of a spray dryer includes a tank for a spray dryer. A high-pressure liquid delivery pipe is connected to the top of the tank. The outlet end of the high-pressure liquid delivery pipe is located inside the tank. A high-pressure spray head is installed at the outlet end of the high-pressure liquid delivery pipe. A solenoid valve is installed on the high-pressure liquid delivery pipe. A connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the high-pressure liquid delivery pipe on the liquid outlet side of the solenoid valve. A piston pipe is connected to the flange of the connecting pipe. The piston pipe is fixedly installed on the top of the tank. A piston block is provided inside the piston pipe. Several sealing rings are fitted into the outer wall of the piston block. A fixing frame is fixedly connected to the inlet of the piston pipe. An electric push rod is fixedly connected to the fixing frame. The piston block is fixedly installed on the piston rod of the electric push rod.
[0006] In a preferred embodiment, both the solenoid valve and the electric actuator are externally connected to the PLC terminal.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment, a hot air inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the upper part of the tank.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, a suction pipe is fixedly connected to the lower part of the tank.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a discharge port is provided at the bottom of the tank.
[0010] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. In this utility model, when the spray dryer stops spraying, the solenoid valve closes. At the instant the solenoid valve 5 closes, the electric push rod is activated. The electric push rod pulls the piston block inside the piston tube to a preset distance. At this time, under the suction force of the piston, a momentary negative pressure is generated in the flow channel at the nozzle of the high-pressure spray head. This negative pressure will draw a small amount of liquid (suspended droplets) that has left or is about to leave the nozzle opening back into the flow channel. After being drawn back, a stable, slightly concave curved liquid surface is formed inside the nozzle tip. Under the action of surface tension, this curved liquid surface can resist gravity, thereby preventing the liquid from flowing out spontaneously, thus achieving anti-drip of the high-pressure spray head, avoiding material and equipment contamination, and avoiding raw material waste.

Detailed Implementation
[0013] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0014] The following will combine Figures 1-3 A detailed description is provided of an anti-drip device for an atomizing nozzle of a spray dryer according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0015] Example: This utility model provides an anti-drip device for the atomizing nozzle of a spray dryer, as shown in the following embodiment. Figures 1 to 3As shown, the device includes a spray dryer tank 1. A high-pressure liquid delivery pipe 2 is connected to the top of the tank 1. The outlet end of the high-pressure liquid delivery pipe 2 is located inside the tank 1. A high-pressure spray head 3 is installed at the outlet end of the high-pressure liquid delivery pipe 2. A solenoid valve 5 is installed on the high-pressure liquid delivery pipe 2. A connecting pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the high-pressure liquid delivery pipe 2 on the outlet side of the solenoid valve 5. A piston pipe 7 is flanged to the connecting pipe 6. The piston pipe 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the tank 1. A piston block 8 is installed inside the piston pipe 7. Several sealing rings 9 are fitted onto the outer wall of the piston block 8. A fixing bracket 10 is fixedly connected to the inlet of the piston pipe 7. An electric push rod 11 is fixedly connected to the fixing bracket 10. The piston block 8 is fixedly installed on the piston rod of the electric push rod 11. In this structure, when the spray dryer stops spraying... When solenoid valve 5 closes, the electric actuator 11 is activated at the instant solenoid valve 5 closes. The electric actuator 11 pulls the piston block 8 inside the piston tube 7 to a preset distance. At this time, under the suction force of the piston, a momentary negative pressure is generated in the flow channel at the nozzle of the high-pressure spray head 3. This negative pressure will draw a small amount of liquid (suspended droplets) that has left or is about to leave the nozzle orifice back into the flow channel. After being drawn back, a stable, slightly concave curved liquid surface is formed inside the nozzle tip. Under the action of surface tension, this curved liquid surface can resist gravity, thereby preventing the liquid from flowing out spontaneously, thus achieving anti-drip of the high-pressure spray head 3. When spraying resumes later, the solenoid valve 5 opens and controls the electric actuator 11 to return to its original position, so as to facilitate anti-drip suction when the machine stops again.
[0016] refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, both the solenoid valve 5 and the electric actuator 11 are externally connected to the PLC terminal. This structure utilizes the PLC terminal to precisely control the solenoid valve 5 and the electric actuator 11 to start synchronously, while also precisely controlling the retraction distance of the electric actuator 11.
[0017] It should be noted that the specific control devices and programs of the PLC mentioned above are all existing technologies, so they will not be elaborated on here.
[0018] refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a hot air inlet pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the tank body 1. In this structure, hot air is introduced into the tank body 1 through the hot air inlet pipe 12, thereby providing heat for drying the material.
[0019] refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a suction pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the tank 1. This structure uses the suction pipe 13 to connect with the cyclone separator.
[0020] refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a discharge port 14 is provided at the bottom of the tank body 1. This structure allows the discharge port 14 to facilitate the discharge of materials from the tank body 1.
[0021] The implementation principle of the anti-drip device for the atomizing nozzle of a spray dryer according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: When the spray dryer stops spraying, the solenoid valve 5 is closed. At the instant the solenoid valve 5 is closed, the electric push rod 11 is activated. The electric push rod 11 pulls the piston block 8 in the piston tube 7 to a preset distance. At this time, under the suction force of the piston, a momentary negative pressure is generated in the flow channel at the nozzle of the high-pressure spray head 3. This negative pressure will draw a small amount of liquid (suspended droplets) that has left or is about to leave the nozzle opening back into the flow channel. After the back suction, a stable, slightly concave curved liquid surface is formed inside the nozzle tip. Under the action of surface tension, this curved liquid surface can resist gravity, thereby preventing the liquid from flowing out spontaneously, thus realizing the anti-drip of the high-pressure spray head 3. When spraying resumes later, the solenoid valve 5 is opened and the electric push rod 11 is controlled to return to its original position, so as to facilitate the anti-drip suction when the machine stops again.
