Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of material crushing and pre-treatment, and in particular to an integrated thermal hydrolysis and crushing device. [Background technology]
[0002] Pyrohydrolysis and crushing are important steps in the reduction and recycling of solid waste, such as agricultural and forestry waste and organic waste. Pyrohydrolysis generally involves steaming biomass at a constant pressure using water or steam at a constant temperature, promoting the decomposition of polymeric substances and allowing the organic matter within to further react with microorganisms, which is beneficial for accelerating the reaction rate. Traditionally, pyrohydrolysis has been performed using a boiler, which typically requires large amounts of high-temperature, high-pressure steam, resulting in high costs. Furthermore, traditional technologies often separate the pyrohydrolysis pretreatment and crushing processes into two separate equipment stages, which is detrimental to the continuity of material reactions, increases the complexity of the equipment, increases the number of processing stages, and reduces production efficiency.

[0008] For clarity of explanation, the direction of forward movement of the feedstock is defined herein as the end.
[0009] The pyrohydrolysis unit 1 includes a material supply warehouse 11, an electric motor 12, a transmission shaft 13, a vent 14, high-pressure steam 15, a heat insulating layer 16, an inner casing 17, a variable-pitch spiral blade 18, and an outer casing 19. The crushing unit 2 includes a hollow shaft 21, a bearing 22, a spiral impeller 23, a wastewater filter screen 24, a variable-diameter shaft 25, and a material discharge port 26. The transmission unit 3 includes a driving wheel 31, a driven wheel 32, a gear 33, a fixed frame 34, a spline 35, and a flat key 36. The transmission shaft 13 is provided below the material supply warehouse 11. The electric motor 12 is connected to the left side of the transmission shaft 13. The variable-pitch spiral blade 18 is attached to the transmission shaft 13. The pyrohydrolysis unit 1 has an outer casing 19 provided with a plurality of vent holes 14, which penetrate the outer casing 19, the heat insulating layer 16 and the inner casing 17, and each vent hole 14 is in contact with the external high-pressure steam 15. The hollow shaft 21 is cylindrical and is attached to the diverging shaft 25 by a bearing 22. The hollow shaft 21 is A spiral blade 23 is attached to the shaft 21, a wastewater filter screen 24 and a material discharge port 26 are attached to the outer casing 19 of the crushing unit 2, a driving wheel 31 is connected to the end of the different diameter shaft 25 via a flat key 26 and is meshed with a driven wheel 32, the driven wheel 32 is fixed to a fixed frame 34 and is meshed with a gear 33, and the gear 33 and the hollow shaft 21 are connected by a spline 35, an integrated device for pyrohydrolysis crushing.
[0010] 1 and 2, the pyrohydrolysis unit 1, the crushing unit 2, and the transmission unit 3 are arranged in sequence in the direction of forward movement of the raw material. The different-diameter shaft 25 is fixedly connected coaxially to the transmission shaft 13, and the hollow shaft 21 is rotatably fitted onto the different-diameter shaft 25 via a bearing 22, and passes through the crushing unit 2, the fixed frame 34, the gear 33, and the main driving wheel 31 in sequence along the axial direction. The end of the different-diameter shaft 25 protrudes from the end of the hollow shaft 21. The driven wheels 32 include a first driven wheel 32-a, a second driven wheel 32-b, and a third driven wheel 32-c, which are fixed to a fixed frame 34 at intervals on the outer periphery of the gear 33, and the main driving wheel 31 simultaneously meshes with the first driven wheel 32-a, the second driven wheel 32-b, and the third driven wheel 32-c on the outer sides away from the gear 33. Under the action of the electric motor 12, the different diameter shaft 25 rotates the driving wheel 31 via the flat key 36, the driving wheel 31 rotates the driven wheel 32 in the same direction, the driven wheel 32 attached to the outer periphery of the gear 33 rotates the gear 33 in a different direction, and finally the hollow shaft 21 connected to the gear 33 via the spline 35 and the transmission shaft 13 rotate in different directions. By setting it up as described above, the pyrohydrolysis unit 1 and the crushing unit 2 can rotate at different speeds and in different directions, which improves the crushing effect of the spiral blades 23.
[0011] The outer casing 19 of the pyrohydrolysis unit 1 and the outer casing 19 of the crushing unit 2 are coated with a complete thermal insulation layer 16, which encases the entire inner casing 17 of the integrated pyrohydrolysis crushing apparatus.

[0013] The variable pitch spiral blades 18 can transport the material to participate in the pyrohydrolysis, and can also form extrusions between the blades, which can have the effect of dehydrating the material.
[0014] The meshing method of the driven wheel 32 and the gear 33 is not limited to that shown in the figure, and the function can also be realized by connecting them in other ways.
[0015] The raw material enters the equipment from the material supply warehouse 11, and the electric motor 12 rotates the transmission shaft 13, on which the variable-pitch spiral blade 18 slowly and continuously transports the raw material forward. At the same time, high-pressure steam 15 enters the equipment through the vent 14 and mixes with the raw material transported by the variable-pitch spiral blade 18 to carry out thermal hydrolysis. After thermal hydrolysis, the material continues to move forward and is crushed through the spiral blade 23. The liquid portion is discharged and collected through the wastewater filter net 24, and the crushed material particles are collected through the material discharge port 26.
