[0034] In some embodiments, the conveying device further includes a connecting pipe 34, the connecting pipe 34 has a conveying flow channel, the pulp preparation device 10 and the storage device 60 are connected to two ends of the connecting pipe 34 respectively, and are communicated through the conveying flow channel. The connecting pipe 34 includes at least one set of pipe sections, each set of pipe sections includes a liquid inlet section 343 and a liquid outlet section 345, the liquid inlet section 343 and the liquid outlet section 345 are arranged in sequence along the extension direction of the conveying flow channel, and the liquid inlet assembly 31 and the liquid outlet assembly 32 are connected to the liquid inlet section 343 and the liquid outlet section 345 respectively. The extension direction of the conveying flow channel is defined as the direction in which the slurry flows in the connecting pipe 34 and away from the pulp preparation device 10 and close to the storage device 60.

[0035] Optionally, referring to FIGS. 1-3, the communication pipe 34 extends from the pulping device 10 to the processing device, and then from the processing device to the storage device 60, and comprises two sets of pipe connection sections. In the extension direction of the transportation flow channel, the liquid inlet section 343 of the first set of pipe connection sections, the liquid outlet section 345 of the first set of pipe connection sections, the liquid inlet section 343 of the second set of pipe connection sections, and the liquid outlet section 345 of the second set of pipe connection sections are arranged in sequence. The two ends of the first liquid inlet pipe 311 are respectively connected to the liquid inlet section 343 of the first set of pipe connection sections and the rotary filter 21, the two ends of the first liquid outlet pipe 321 are respectively connected to the liquid outlet section 345 of the first set of pipe connection sections and the rotary filter 21, the two ends of the second liquid inlet pipe 312 are respectively connected to the liquid inlet section 343 of the second set of pipe connection sections and the filter de-ironing device 22, and the two ends of the second liquid outlet pipe 322 are respectively connected to the liquid outlet section 345 of the second set of pipe connection sections and the filter de-ironing device 22.

[0036] In this way, the slurry from the pulping device 10 can flow along the communication pipe 34 to the liquid inlet section 343 of the first set of pipe connection sections, and then flow into the rotary filter 21 through the first liquid inlet pipe 311. After being filtered in the rotary filter 21, the slurry flows along the first liquid outlet pipe 321 to the liquid outlet section 345 of the first set of pipe connection sections, and then flows along the communication pipe 34 to the liquid inlet section 343 of the second set of pipe connection sections. After that, the slurry flows into the filter de-ironing device 22 through the second liquid inlet pipe 312. After being filtered again in the filter de-ironing device 22, the slurry flows along the second liquid outlet pipe 322 to the liquid outlet section 345 of the second set of pipe connection sections, and finally flows along the communication pipe 34 to the storage device 60.

[0037] Optionally, as shown in the slurry filtration and transportation system of FIG. 3, the filter de-ironing device 22 is configured as two, the second liquid inlet pipe 312 and the second liquid outlet pipe 322 are each configured as two, the liquid inlet section 343 of the second set of pipe connection sections is connected to the two second liquid inlet pipes 312, the liquid outlet section 345 of the second set of pipe connection sections is connected to the two second liquid outlet pipes 322, one of the second liquid inlet pipes 312 and one of the second liquid outlet pipes 322 are connected to one of the filter de-ironing devices 22, and the other second liquid inlet pipe 312 and the other second liquid outlet pipe 322 are connected to the other filter de-ironing device 22. The two filter de-ironing devices 22 are arranged in parallel.

[0038] In this way, the two filter de-ironing devices 22 back up each other. When one of the filter de-ironing devices 22 fails, is temporarily suspended for use, or is subjected to cleaning, the other filter de-ironing device 22 can still continue to operate, thereby ensuring that the filtration and transportation operation of the slurry does not have to be forced to be interrupted.

[0039] In some embodiments, the processing device further comprises a propelling device 40 having a propelling channel, the communicating pipe 34 comprises a first connecting part 341 and a second connecting part 342, the first connecting part 341 and the second connecting part 342 are arranged in sequence along the extension direction of the transportation flow channel, the first connecting part 341 is connected with the pulping device 10 to make the interior of the pulping device 10 communicate with the transportation flow channel, and the second connecting part 342 is connected with the propelling device 40 to make the propelling channel communicate with the transportation flow channel. The propelling device 40 can generate a propelling airflow for cleaning the residual pulp in the communicating pipe 34 after being started, the propelling airflow enters the transportation flow channel from the propelling channel, and then flows along the transportation flow channel and gradually approaches the storage device 60, and the residual pulp in the transportation flow channel is pushed into the storage device 60 under the propelling force of the propelling airflow.

[0040] In this way, not only the residual pulp in the transportation flow channel can be cleaned, the residual pulp can be prevented from accumulating in the transportation flow channel for a long time and being difficult to clean, and the residual pulp and the newly prepared pulp can be prevented from mixing to affect the quality of the pulp, but also the residual pulp in the transportation flow channel can be recycled, and the yield of the pulp is improved.

[0041] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 3, in some embodiments, the transportation device further comprises a diaphragm pump 70, one end of the diaphragm pump 70 is connected with the pulping device 10 through a pipeline, and the other end of the diaphragm pump 70 is connected with the first connecting part 341 of the communicating pipe 34. The diaphragm pump 70 is used to pump the pulp prepared by the pulping device 10 into the communicating pipe 34, so that the filtering device 20 obtains the pulp from the pulping device 10, and after the filtering device 20 completes the filtration of the pulp, the pulp flows into the communicating pipe 34 again under the driving of the diaphragm pump 70 and finally flows into the storage device 60.

[0042] Optionally, the processing device further comprises a push ball, the initial position of the push ball is located in the propelling device 40, and the propelling device 40 can be started to generate the propelling airflow after the filtering device 20 completes the filtration of the pulp. After the propelling device 40 is started, the push ball enters the transportation flow channel from the propelling channel under the propelling force of the propelling airflow, the surface of the push ball is in sliding fit with the inner wall surface of the transportation flow channel, and therefore the residual pulp can be scraped off from the inner wall surface of the transportation flow channel by the push ball, and the cleaning effect of the transportation flow channel is improved.

[0043] Optionally, referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the processing device further comprises a recycling device 50 having a recycling channel, and the communication pipe 34 further comprises a third connecting portion 346 and a fourth connecting portion 347. The first connecting portion 341, the second connecting portion 342, the third connecting portion 346 and the fourth connecting portion 347 are arranged in sequence along the extension direction of the transportation flow channel, the third connecting portion 346 is connected to the recycling device 50 to make the recycling channel communicate with the transportation flow channel, and the fourth connecting portion 347 is connected to the storage device 60 to make the interior of the storage device 60 communicate with the transportation flow channel. The push ball passes through the propulsion channel, the second connecting portion 342, the first group of pipe connecting portions, the second group of pipe connecting portions, the third connecting portion 346 in sequence under the action of the propulsion force of the propulsion airflow, and enters the recycling channel, so that the recycling device 50 recycles the push ball, and the push ball can be reused after being cleaned again and put into the propulsion device 40.

[0044] In view of the fact that the slurry is prone to be left in the filtering device, the slurry filtering and transporting system limits that the transporting device further comprises a recycling assembly 33 having a recycling flow channel communicating with the filtering device 20 and the storage device 60. In this way, even if a part of the slurry is left in the filtering device 20 after being filtered by the filter, the left slurry can still be recycled by the recycling assembly 33 and then be sent to the storage device 60, which reduces the waste of the left slurry, improves the yield of the slurry, prevents the difficulty in cleaning the interior of the filtering device 20 caused by the long-term left slurry in the filtering device 20, and avoids the problem of the quality of the slurry being reduced caused by the mixing of the newly made slurry and the slurry left in the filtering device.

[0045] Specifically, referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, in some embodiments, each group of pipe connecting portions further comprises a recycling portion 344 between the liquid inlet portion 343 of the group of pipe connecting portions and the liquid outlet portion 345 of the group of pipe connecting portions, the container of the filtering device 20 comprises a liquid inlet, a liquid outlet and a residual material discharge port, the liquid inlet pipe is connected to the liquid inlet, the liquid outlet pipe is connected to the liquid outlet, and the recycling assembly 33 comprises a recycling pipe having a recycling flow channel, two ends of the recycling pipe are respectively connected to the residual material discharge port and the recycling portion 344. In this way, the interior of the container of the filtering device 20 communicates with the transportation flow channel of the communication pipe 34 through the recycling flow channel, when most of the slurry flows into the liquid outlet pipe through the liquid outlet, the slurry left in the container can enter the recycling pipe from the residual material discharge port, then enter the transportation flow channel from the recycling pipe, and finally flow into the storage device 60 together with the slurry flowing into the transportation flow channel through the liquid outlet pipe.

[0046] It can be understood that in other embodiments, the other end of the recycling pipe relatively far away from the residual material discharge port can be directly connected to the liquid outlet pipe to make the recycling flow channel directly communicate with the liquid outlet flow channel, or the other end of the recycling pipe relatively far away from the residual material discharge port can be directly connected to the storage device 60 to make the recycling flow channel directly communicate with the interior of the storage device 60, so that the slurry left in the container can also be cleaned and recycled.

[0047] In some embodiments, the liquid inlet portion 343, the recovery portion 344 and the liquid outlet portion 345 are sequentially arranged along the extension direction of the transportation flow channel. Referring to FIGS. 1-3, the recovery pipe includes a first recovery pipe 331 and a second recovery pipe 332. Along the extension direction of the transportation flow channel, the liquid inlet portion 343 of the first group of pipe connection portions, the recovery portion 344 of the first group of pipe connection portions, the liquid outlet portion 345 of the first group of pipe connection portions, the liquid inlet portion 343 of the second group of pipe connection portions, the recovery portion 344 of the second group of pipe connection portions and the liquid outlet portion 345 of the second group of pipe connection portions are sequentially arranged. The first recovery pipe 331 is connected to the excess material discharge port of the rotary filter 21 and the recovery portion 344 of the first group of pipe connection portions. The second recovery pipe 332 is connected to the excess material discharge port of the filter de-ironing device 22 and the recovery portion 344 of the second group of pipe connection portions.

[0048] In this way, the slurry remaining in the rotary filter 21 and the slurry remaining in the filter de-ironing device 22 can flow into the communication pipe 34 through the first recovery pipe 331 and the second recovery pipe 332, respectively. These residual slurries can eventually flow into the storage device 60. The rotary filter 21 and the filter de-ironing device 22 can be effectively cleaned, and the residual slurry can be prevented from mixing with the newly prepared slurry.

[0049] Alternatively, the excess material discharge port is arranged at the bottom of the container closest to the ground. In this way, the slurry remaining in the container of the filter device 20 can automatically flow into the recovery pipe by gravity. Therefore, the residual slurry in the container can be more easily emptied and cleaned, and the recovery efficiency and convenience of the residual slurry are improved.

[0050] In other embodiments, the recovery assembly 33 further includes a discharge promoting propeller. The discharge promoting propeller includes a gas flow output channel connected to the recovery pipe. The discharge promoting propeller can generate a gas pressure higher than that of the recovery flow channel. After the discharge promoting propeller is started, a discharge promoting gas flow can be generated. The discharge promoting gas flow enters the recovery pipe along the gas flow output channel and promotes the residual slurry in the recovery pipe to flow faster into the transportation flow channel. Therefore, the discharge promoting propeller can improve the cleaning and recovery efficiency of the residual slurry.

[0051] As shown in the slurry filtration and transportation system of FIG. 1, the number of filter de-ironing devices 22 is multiple. Referring to FIG. 2, the transportation device further includes at least one string pipe 36. The multiple filter de-ironing devices are connected in series through the string pipe 36 to form a filter de-ironing queue. One end of each string pipe 36 is connected to the liquid outlet of one filter de-ironing device 22. The other end of each string pipe 36 is connected to the liquid inlet of another filter de-ironing device 22. The second liquid inlet pipe 312 is connected to the liquid inlet of the filter de-ironing device 22 located at the head end of the filter de-ironing queue. The second liquid outlet pipe 322 is connected to the liquid outlet of the filter de-ironing device 22 located at the tail end of the filter de-ironing queue. The number of second recovery pipes 332 is equal to the number of filter de-ironing devices 22. The multiple filter de-ironing devices 22 are connected to the multiple second recovery pipes 332 one by one through the respective excess material discharge ports.

[0052] Optionally, the second group of connecting pipe sections includes a plurality of recovery sections 344 arranged in sequence along the extension direction of the conveying flow channel, and the plurality of recovery sections 344 of the second group of connecting pipe sections corresponds to the number of the second recovery pipes 332, and the plurality of second recovery pipes 332 and the plurality of recovery sections 344 of the second group of connecting pipe sections are connected one by one in correspondence.

[0053] In this way, the slurry can pass through the plurality of filter de-ironing devices 22 for multiple times of filtration, and the iron scraps in the slurry can be cleaned more thoroughly.

[0054] As shown in the slurry filtration and conveying system in FIG. 3, the second recovery pipes 332 are configured in two groups, one group of the second recovery pipes 332 connecting one of the filter de-ironing devices 22 and the recovery sections 344 of the second group of connecting pipe sections, and the other group of the second recovery pipes 332 connecting the other filter de-ironing device 22 and the recovery sections 344 of the second group of connecting pipe sections. In this way, the slurry remaining in the two filter de-ironing devices 22 can be cleaned and recovered.

[0055] Optionally, the recovery assembly 33 further includes a recovery valve arranged in the recovery pipe, and the recovery valve is used to control the recovery flow channel to switch between the unblocked state and the blocked state. Referring to FIG. 2, the recovery valve includes a first recovery valve 333 and a second recovery valve 334, the first recovery valve 333 is arranged in the first recovery pipe 331, the second recovery valve 334 is arranged in the second recovery pipe 332, the first recovery valve 333 is used to control the recovery flow channel of the first recovery pipe 331 to switch between the unblocked state and the blocked state, and the second recovery valve 334 is used to control the recovery flow channel of the second recovery pipe 332 to switch between the unblocked state and the blocked state.
