Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This disclosure claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202310510198.7, filed on May 8, 2023, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.


TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure belongs to the technical field of vacuum drying, in particular to a vacuum drying device and a using method thereof.


BACKGROUND

Vacuum drying is to heat and dry dried materials under a vacuum condition, and use a vacuum pump to extract air and moisture, so that a vacuum state in a studio may be formed, a boiling point of water is reduced, a drying speed is accelerated, a high drying efficiency is obtained at a lower temperature, heat is fully used, and no impurities are mixed in a drying process.


In a process of vacuum drying, many materials are usually dried at the same time. Even if the materials are evenly stirred and have a same quality, there may be be differences in water contents. Therefore, in a drying process, a drying uniformity of each of the materials may be different. If drying degrees of the materials are not controlled, some materials may be dried or even burnt, while others may still retain moisture, so a drying efficiency and quality may be affected. Some vacuum drying devices detect the moisture of each material in real time through detection equipment, and then controls movements of the materials through controllers, and adjusts distances between the materials, a heater and a vacuumizing pipeline, so as to control moisture uniformity of each material. Not only is an equipment structure complicated, but a service life and stability of a control system and a detection system in the vacuum drying device are relatively low. In addition, due to an involvement of control and precision structures, a cost of the equipment may also increase significantly. Moreover, when the dried materials are powders, it is generally difficult for the existing equipment to automatically collect the powders pumped out by the vacuumizing pipeline. When a collection device is directly installed in the vacuumizing pipeline, the moisture is easy to accumulate at the collection device because of a high water content in an early stage. If the moisture accumulates too much, it may not only affect the collection device, but also affect the drying of subsequent materials.

Compared with the prior art, the disclosure has following advantages and technical effects.


Evenly distributed materials are respectively put into the drying mechanisms, and the drying mechanisms dry the materials. The lifting mechanism on the base is used to drive the drying mechanisms to move up and down, and there is a pumping force in the vacuumizing pipeline. The take-up mechanism and the wire collecting mechanism may ensure the powder collecting mechanism to perform further powder collection, and may avoid condensation water gathering when an air humidity is high, which affects a drying effect. There is no need to add additional sensors and controllers, thus reducing a cost and improving stability.


With gradual drying of material moisture, a drying degree of each of the materials in each material container is different, so a weight of each material container may be different. When weights of material containers change, according to a principle of the communicating vessel, the more a material moisture of one of the materials in one of the material containers is lost, the more the weight is reduced, so that a total weight of the one of the material containers and the one of the materials may become lighter, so the first upright posts and the sealing blocks at bottoms are driven to ascend. When the first upright posts ascend, the gears drive the second upright posts to descend. Because the heating elements are fixed on upper parts of the second upright posts, distances between the heating elements and the material containers may automatically expand, thus reducing a drying temperature.


When a material in one of the material containers is heavier than other materials due to slow moisture dissipation, the one of the material containers of the material with more moisture descends according to the principle of the communicating vessel. The first upright posts descend during descending, and the first upright posts drive the second upright posts to ascend through the gears, so a distance between one of the material containers of the material with more moisture and the heating elements is shortened. The distances between the materials and the heating elements may be automatically adjusted according to the water contents of the materials, so that the drying degree of each of the materials is more uniform in a drying process, thereby improving a drying efficiency.


By arranging the elastic supports, the door opening wire and the pull ropes, the sealing door is in a closed state when humidity in the vacuumizing pipeline is high, so that a situation that wet air is condensed on the electrostatic sheets to form water backflow which affects a drying effect may be avoided.


The friction block may not only make the electrostatic sheets charged with static electricity, but also scrape off the moisture and powders collected on the electrostatic sheets. The scraped powders and moisture may fall into the collecting pipe, so the powders entering the vacuumizing pipe may be automatically collected.

As shown in FIG. 7, a using method of the vacuum drying device includes following steps.

    • S1, a material to be vacuum dried is uniformly stirred and placed.
    • S2, moisture contents of the material are sampled and calculated.
    • S3, a total water content put into a vacuum drying device is estimated through the moisture contents.
    • S4, a displacement required to open the powder collecting mechanism 5 is measured.
    • S5, stiffness coefficients of the elastic supports used by the drying mechanisms are calculated through the total water content and the displacement.
    • S6, the elastic supports matched to the drying mechanisms are provided according to the stiffness coefficients.
    • S7, the materials to be dried are placed on the drying mechanisms, and distances between the material and heating devices are controlled through the communicated vessel to make the materials evenly heated, and the material is vacuumized at the same time.
    • S8, powders are collected by the powder collecting mechanism 5 after the material is dried to obtain dried material.
    • S9, the dried material and the powders are recovered.


Because a displacement length required to control opening and closing of the sealing door by the door opening wire 3 and the pull ropes 36 is fixed, and the moisture contents of the materials are known, the total water content of the materials in the box body 1 may be calculated, and a weight change before and after drying and the required displacement may be known, so that the stiffness coefficients of the required elastic supports 22 may be calculated.


According to a further optimization scheme, in the step S2, an upper layer, a middle layer and a bottom layer of each of the materials are sampled respectively, and samples are mixed, and a mixed sample is weighed to obtain a wet weight, and then the mixed sample is dried after weighing to obtain a dry weight after drying, and finally each of the moisture contents is calculated.


Working Principle

When a material needs to be dried, the material is first stirred evenly to make a moisture content of the material uniform. Then, the material is sampled after stirring evenly. During a sampling process, an upper layer, a middle layer and a bottom layer of the material are sampled respectively, and a total weight of a mixed sample measured after sampling is a wet weight. Then, the sample is dried, and a dry weight is obtained after thorough drying, and then a moisture content may be calculated by substituting a moisture content calculation method.


Then, the material is evenly distributed. Evenly distributed materials are put into the material containers 8 respectively. Because weights of the materials are the same, the sealing blocks at bottoms of the first upright posts 9 slide in the vertical sliding tubes 15, and there are hydraulic oil in the vertical sliding tubes 15 and the horizontal communicating tubes 16, when the weights of the materials are even, a liquid level of each of the vertical sliding tubes 15 receives a same gravity. Therefore, according to a principle of the communicating vessel, if the communicating vessels contain a same liquid, but pressures on liquid levels are different, a pressure difference of the liquid levels is equal to a pressure difference generated by a height difference of the liquid levels between two containers of the communicating vessels, and the material containers 8 remain parallel.


Because the displacement length required to control the opening and closing of the sealing door is fixed through the door opening wire 3 and the pull ropes 36, and moisture contents of the materials are known, a total water content of the materials in the box body 1 may be calculated. A weight change before and after drying and the required displacement are known, so that stiffness coefficients of the required elastic supports 22 may be calculated. The lifting cylinders 21 are controlled to lift elastic supports 22 with corresponding stiffness coefficients. The sealing door is controlled to be closed through the door opening wire 3 and the pull ropes 36, and then the take-up device 24 is fixed on the fixed table 23 by bypassing the reversing wheel 2. Meanwhile, the door opening wire 3 is fixed through the positioning piece of the take-up device 24. The heating elements 10 are started to heat the materials, and a vacuum generator is started at the same time, and the vacuum generator vacuumizes an interior of the box body 1 through the vacuumizing pipeline 4. The moisture of the materials is pumped out of the box body 1 after evaporation by heat. With gradual drying of the moisture of the materials, a drying degree of each of the materials in each material container 8 may vary, so a weight of each material container 8 may be different. When weights of the material containers 8 change, according to the principle of the communicating vessel, the more moisture of one of the materials in one of the material containers 8 is lost, the more the weight is reduced, so that a total weight of the one of the material containers 8 and the one of the materials may become lighter, so the first upright posts 9 and the sealing blocks at the bottoms are driven to ascend. When the first upright posts 9 ascend, the gears 14 drive the second upright posts 11 to descend. Because the heating elements 10 are fixed on upper parts of the second upright posts 11, distances between the heating elements 10 and the material containers 8 may automatically expand, thus reducing a drying temperature. When a material in one of the material containers 8 is heavier than other materials due to slow moisture dissipation, the one of the material containers 8 of the material with more moisture descends according to the principle of the communicating vessel. The first upright posts 9 descend during descending, and the first upright posts 9 drive the second upright posts 11 to ascend through the gears 14, so a distance between one of the material containers 8 of the material with more moisture and the heating elements 10 is shortened. The distances between the materials and the heating elements 10 may be automatically adjusted according to the water contents of the materials, so that the drying degree of each of the materials is more uniform in a drying process, thereby improving a drying efficiency. Moreover, an adjustment may be automatically performed without installing a water quantity detection device and a control device, so that stability of the vacuum drying device may be significantly improved, and a cost is the same as that of an ordinary vacuum drying device.


In a process of moisture loss of the materials, total weights of the table top 17 and the drying mechanism are decreasing, and the reduced weights are weights of the moisture loss, so the table top 17 gradually rises under an elastic force of the elastic supports 22. When the moisture of the materials is basically dried, the table top 17 rises to a highest position. Because the stiffness coefficients of the elastic supports 22 are adapted to the displacement of the door opening wire 3 required for opening the sealing door, when the materials are basically dried, the sealing door is close to walls of the vacuumizing pipeline 4 under an elastic force of the springs. On the one hand, two sides are sealed by the sealing door, causing air in the vacuumizing pipeline 4 to gather to a middle, so that the air in the vacuumizing pipeline 4 basically passes through the electrostatic sheets 32. On the other hand, the electrostatic sheets 32 are in an open state to collect dust from the passing air. Due to a suction force in the vacuumizing pipeline 4, the fan blade 28 is driven to rotate when an airflow passes through the fan blade 28, and rotation of the fan blade 28 drives the fourth connecting rod 34 to rotate. Rotation of the fourth connecting rod 34 drives the second connecting rod 29 to swing back and forth around the manifold lug, and the end of the first connecting rod 31 swings up and down during reciprocating swing of the second connecting rod 29, so the fan blade 28 does not need to rotate in a whole circle. Since the fan blade 28 is located inside the vacuumizing pipeline 4, two blades in a vertical state on the fan blade 28 come into contact with the airflow at the same time. The airflow blows a blade located above to displace, so that the blade 28 may rotate forward and drive the fourth connecting rod 34 to rotate, and the fourth connecting rod 34 drives the second connecting rod 29 to swing. When a forward rotation of the fan blade 28 causes one end of the second connecting rod 29 to interfere with the fixed rod 26 and may not rotate, the airflow may blow a blade located below to move, so that the fan blade 28 rotates in an opposite direction and drives the fourth connecting rod 34 to rotate, and the fourth connecting rod 34 drives the second connecting rod 29 to swing, thereby achieving a purpose of the reciprocating swing of the second connecting rod 29.


The first connecting rod 31 drives the friction block 33 to move up and down on the electrostatic sheets 32. The friction block 33 may not only make the electrostatic sheets 32 charged with static electricity, but also scrape off the moisture and the powders collected on the electrostatic sheets 32. The scraped powders and moisture may fall into the collecting pipe 6, so the powders entering the vacuumizing pipe 4 are collected. Moreover, condensation water accumulation affecting a drying effect may be avoided when an air humidity is high. There is no need to add additional sensors as well as controllers, thus reducing costs and improving stability.
