One example of the elemental motion of carrying out in the decompression type drying device 1 of the present embodiment of above-mentioned formation then, is described.
The < material initial stage is dropped into operation >
In when the startup of this decompression type drying device 1 etc., in the situation that do not have the state (dummy status) of powder and granular material in hopper main body 20, carry out the material initial stage and drop into operation.
The first slide-valve 61 of material throw-in part 6 and the second slide-valve 65 is open, the above-mentioned peristome of the outlet of trap 60 and the lid 20c on hopper main body 20 tops is communicated with.In addition, drive material to carry with air blast 13, the powder and granular material being stored in material hold-up vessel 9 is carried to trap 60 via material carrier pipe 15.The powder and granular material that is delivered to trap 60 drops into storage tube 63, lid 20c etc. via each slide-valve 61,65, material, is put in hopper main body 20.If hopper material sensors 24 detects full material level, each slide-valve 61,65 cuts out, and material conveying is stopped with air blast 13.
In addition, the in the situation that of having powder and granular material in hopper main body 20, do not need to carry out this material initial stage input operation.
In addition, also in the time of can dropping into operation at such material initial stage of execution, hopper material sensors 24 detects full material level, and after the second slide-valve 65 cuts out, after material drops into the interior powder and granular material of storing ormal weight of storage tube 63, the first slide-valve 61 cuts out, material is carried and with air blast 13, stopped.
The < initial stage operation > that turns round
As described above after the interior powder and granular material of storing ormal weight of hopper main body 20, execution initial stage running operation.This initial stage running operation is following operation: make the powder and granular material being stored in hopper main body 20 be warming up to specified degree, and carry out to the heat drying that has at least fully carried out the powder and granular material corresponding with the discharge rate that is positioned at lower layer part and process (becoming temperature, the moisture rate (moisture content) of regulation), do not carry out powder and granular material and move and from the above-mentioned discharging operation of hopper main body 20 to the above-mentioned input of hopper main body 20.
Vavuum pump 3 and wire heater 42 are started, and the 4th magnetic valve 51a of heated air supply unit 4 and the 5th magnetic valve 55a is open.
That is, the driving by vavuum pump 3 is the interior decompression of hopper main body 20, and the gas by 4 heating of heated air supply unit is imported in hopper main body 20.
At this moment, the helical form gas-heated portion 40 of heated air supply unit 4 is along the periphery setting of hopper main body 20, so Yi Bian prevent the heat release of hopper main body 20, Yi Bian by 20 heating of hopper main body.In addition, be heated to as described above the heated air of set point of temperature via internal perisporium opening 21 and porous plate 22, be supplied in hopper main body 20.That is,, by the heat conduction of the internal perisporium from hopper main body 20 and the heated air of supplying with from bottom, by the powder and granular material heating being stored in hopper main body 20, and be dried processing by the depressurization of vavuum pump 3.
By importing above-mentioned heated air, the temperature of the gas by material layer, be that material layer uses the detected temperatures of sensor 25 slowly to rise from the low temperature of room temperature (extraneous air temperature) degree by temperature detection.If this material layer surpasses the threshold value of predefined regulation by the temperature of gas, make the 5th magnetic valve 55a of heated air supply unit 4 close, the flow of the gas of importing is reduced.
Like this, in the present embodiment, the governing factor of the regulation of the heat drying treatment state of the powder and granular material using the temperature of gas of having passed through above-mentioned material layer within representing hopper main body 20, infers the heat drying treatment state of powder and granular material according to this temperature.
The threshold value of afore mentioned rules is based on according to the capacity of the target heating-up temperature of the settings such as the kind of powder and granular material or initial stage moisture rate, hopper main body 20 or the discharge rate of once discharging to next treatment process etc., experimentally or empirically setting, for example, can be made as 40 ℃~120 ℃ left and right.
In this initial stage running operation, before surpassing above-mentioned threshold value, make the 4th magnetic valve 51a of heated air supply unit 4 and the 5th magnetic valve 55a open, above-mentioned large flow gas (heated air of maximum quantity of wind) is imported in hopper main body 20.The powder and granular material that thus, can make to be stored in hopper main body 20 heats up rapidly.
In addition, if surpass above-mentioned threshold value, be judged as the state that has been warming up to regulation, the 5th magnetic valve 55a is closed, reduce the flow of the gas importing.That is, above-mentioned small-flow gas is imported in hopper main body 20.Thus, the vacuum in the hopper main body 20 that the attraction by vavuum pump 3 forms improves, and the heat effect that the importing by depressurization and small-flow gas causes, effectively carries out the heat drying of powder and granular material and process.
In other words, in this initial stage running operation, in its starting stage, carry out so that the control that powder and granular material heats up and attaches most importance to, in the in the end stage, is carried out the control that at least improves the aridity of the powder and granular material corresponding with the discharge rate of lower layer part.
In addition, the time of carrying out above-mentioned initial stage running operation is according to the kind of the capacity of hopper main body 20 and discharge rate, powder and granular material and condition (initial stage moisture rate etc.) etc., experimentally or empirically set.Or, also can be in the following way: the temperature sensor that the temperature that detects the orlop portion that is stored in the material layer in hopper main body 20 is set, mensuration temperature signal (detected temperatures) based on this temperature sensor, the material of differentiating the orlop portion in hopper main body 20 whether carries out heat drying processing until the state of regulation, and reports the end of initial stage running operation.
In addition, also can adopt following mode: while surpassing above-mentioned threshold value, start the counting of the time movements such as timer of CPU80, carry out this initial stage running operation until passed through the stipulated time.
In addition, all amounts that the intensification of the powder and granular material carrying out in this running operation does not need to make to be stored in the powder and granular material in hopper main body 20 at initial stage are warming up to uniform temperature, and the temperature that the foot that makes to be stored in the powder and granular material in hopper main body 20 plays the powder and granular material of about 4 one-tenth~7 one-tenth is warming up to the temperature of regulation.In other words, also can be, the heated air importing by the bottom from hopper main body 20, in hopper main body 20, the mode with the thermograde that slowly raises to lower layer part formation temperature from upper layer part, makes each layer of intensification, at least before starting continuous operation operation described later, when this continuous operation operation, carry out at any time this running operation at initial stage, until fully carried out the heat drying of the powder and granular material of the ormal weight of discharging from orlop, process.
< continuous operation operation >
Execution initial stage running operation, prepares if carry out running as described above, transfers to continuous operation operation.
In this continuous operation operation, by receiving from the material request signal (pass signal) of moulding pusher side material sensors 19b of temporary transient storage hopper 19a that is arranged at the top of resin molding machine 19, carry out above-mentioned discharging operation, and, by receiving the material request signal (pass signal) from hopper material sensors 24, carry out above-mentioned input action.
By this, drop into action, for example, at the new powder and granular material of the interior input room temperature of hopper main body 20 degree, the temperature of having passed through the gas of above-mentioned material layer sharply declines, and is down to below above-mentioned threshold value.Like this, during lower than this threshold value, the above-mentioned flow adjustment part of the gas supply part 50 of heated air supply unit 4 is controlled, increased the flow of the gas importing.
For example, can be in the following way: make the 5th magnetic valve 55a intermittently open, to increase the throughput of the gas of per stipulated time, alternately import above-mentioned large flow gas and small-flow gas.The recruitment of this heated air can be the amount corresponding with the intensification energy of the powder and granular material of above-mentioned such new input.Thus, can further realize energy-saving.
By making as described above the flow of the heated air of importing increase, the intensification of the powder and granular material of above-mentioned new input is carried out rapidly, has passed through the temperature climbed of the gas of above-mentioned material layer.When this temperature surpasses above-mentioned threshold value, the above-mentioned flow adjustment part of the gas supply part 50 of heated air supply unit 4 is controlled, reduced the flow of the gas importing.That is, same during with above-mentioned initial stage running operation, the 5th magnetic valve 55a is closed, above-mentioned small-flow gas is directed in hopper main body 20.Thus, with above-mentioned same, the vacuum in hopper main body 20 improves, and the heat effect that the importing by depressurization and small-flow gas brings, effectively carries out the heat drying of powder and granular material and process.
Below, similarly, drive vavuum pump 3 and by the interior decompression of hopper main body 20, simultaneous is from the discharging operation of the powder and granular material of hopper main body 20 with to the input action of the powder and granular material of hopper main body 20, control, if so that the temperature of gas of having passed through material layer, lower than above-mentioned threshold value, increases the flow of the gas importing, if passed through the temperature of the gas of material layer, surpass above-mentioned threshold value, reduce the flow of the gas importing.
As mentioned above, according to the decompression type drying device 1 of present embodiment, can improve the heat drying efficiency of the powder and granular material being stored in hopper main body 20, and realize energy-saving, the while can prevent deteriorated (oxidation, burn, decomposition, the variable color etc.) of the overheated powder and granular material causing etc.
In addition, as mentioned above, can control the temperature that is directed into the gas in hopper main body 20 on one side, to become predefined set point of temperature, import on one side the gas of heating, the powder and granular material being stored in hopper main body 20 is carried out to heat treated, so compare with the method for the heat treated of being undertaken by heat conduction fin in the past, can significantly shorten start-up time, and can significantly improve cleaning in hopper main body 20 and powder and granular material can storage capacity.
In addition, the increase and decrease that is directed into the flow of the heated air in hopper main body 20 is not limited to the mode of this elemental motion example, can adopt above-mentioned variety of way.Or, also can adopt the mode of supplying with the heated air of ormal weight when normal, replace this elemental motion example such, the material layer based on as above-mentioned controlling element increase and decrease the mode of control by the temperature of gas to the flow of heated air.
Or, also can be except control mode as described above, or replace control mode as described above, when carrying out above-mentioned initial stage running operation, after the just startup of this decompression type drying device 1, do not start vavuum pump 3, or starting under the state of vavuum pump 3, by CPU80, control heated air supply unit 4, with to the interior supply heated air of hopper main body 20.At this moment, hopper main body 20 is interior can be more than atmospheric pressure, or can be also decompression state.In addition, at this moment, also can be to the heated air of the above-mentioned large flow of the interior supply of hopper main body 20.If adopt in such a way, can make to be stored in the state that powder and granular material in hopper main body 20 is warming up to rapidly afore mentioned rules.
On the other hand, also can be, the heat treated of the powder and granular material in hopper main body 20 after proceeding to specified degree (for example, when the temperature of having passed through the gas of above-mentioned material layer surpasses above-mentioned threshold value, or while having passed through the stipulated time afterwards, or while having passed through the predefined duration of runs at initial stage), by CPU80, heated air supply unit 4 is controlled, under reduced pressure heated air is supplied in hopper main body 20.At this moment, also can be to the heated air of the above-mentioned low discharge of the interior supply of hopper main body 20.
In addition, also can be, when normal by CPU80, monitor the discharging operation of material discharge portion 7, and carry out following control: when the time of not discharging surpasses the predefined stipulated time, the supply of heated air is stopped, on the other hand, while then carrying out discharging operation, the supply of heated air is started again.Thus, can realize energy-saving.
In addition, as mentioned above, also can replace the mode that dry air is heated and imported, and the mode that employing is heated extraneous air import, or also can adopt at start of run, extraneous air is heated and import, the mode that then dry air is heated and imported.
And then, in above-mentioned elemental motion example, before the operation that turns round in the early stage, carry out the above-mentioned material initial stage and drop into operation, until become the mode of full material level, but be not limited to such mode.For example, also can be following mode: replace the above-mentioned material initial stage to drop into operation, and carry out the action same with above-mentioned initial stage running operation, Yi Bian repeat above-mentioned input action, powder and granular material is slowly stored in hopper main body 20 on one side, until become full material level from dummy status.Thus, from dummy status till full material level, drop into action during also can import heated air while reducing pressure and carry out heat drying processing, and when carrying out above-mentioned input action, do not carry out the vacuum breaking in hopper main body 20, so can effectively carry out the heat drying of powder and granular material, process yet.
In addition, in the present embodiment, in order to improve the heat drying efficiency of the powder and granular material that is stored in hopper main body 20, adopted the bottom that the internal perisporium opening 21 of the gas introduction port as heated air is arranged on to hopper main body 20, the gas discharge outlet 23 being connected with vavuum pump 3 is arranged on to the mode on the top of hopper main body 20, so that making the heated air being supplied in hopper main body 20 by heated air supply unit 4 passes through towards upper layer part from the lower layer part of powder and granular material layer, but also these gas introduction ports 21 and gas discharge outlet 23 can be set at other positions.Or, the porous plate of blanketing gas introducing port (internal perisporium opening) also can be set, and be arranged on material discharge pipe, there is the connecting portion that gas imports, this connecting portion is connected with the end of helical form gas piping 41.

And then, as the controlling element of regulation that represents the heat drying treatment state of the powder and granular material in hopper main body, be not limited to temperature and humidity as described above (dew point), also can be, such as by hopper main body or the vacuum of vacuum attraction pipeline etc. be made as controlling element, the pressure gauge for detection of this vacuum is arranged as above-mentioned testing agency.Also can adopt following mode: Yi Bian such vacuum reduces pressure in as described above by hopper main body, while carrying out heat drying processing on one side, vacuum in hopper main body slowly approaches the vacuum of regulation, but the moisture containing in the powder and granular material in hopper main body etc. is slowly gasification by above-mentioned reduced pressure treatment, by this gasification, can not reach sharp the vacuum of regulation, so the vacuum of such regulation is set as threshold value, when the vacuum detecting at above-mentioned pressure gauge reaches the vacuum of regulation, the heat drying treatment state that is estimated as powder and granular material has reached the state of expectation, the flow of the gas of importing is reduced.In such mode, also can set a plurality of threshold values corresponding with the flow of the gas importing.
And then, in addition, as long as do not hinder these functions, just can be by the suitably distortion such as each structure illustrating in the respective embodiments described above and each variation and action case, combination.
In addition, in the respective embodiments described above, show according to the request of the supply targets such as resin molding machine, discharge the example of mode of the ormal weight of the powder and granular material in hopper main body, but also can apply decompression type drying device of the present invention in adopting the mode of once discharging its all amounts.
