Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of catalyst slurry coating process devices, in particular to an automatic catalyst slurry coating system and a coating process.
Background
The automobile catalyst is the most effective and key automobile part for reducing harmful substances in automobile exhaust by adopting an effective catalytic purification technology. The automobile catalyst is a series of chemical material complex, and is composed of four portions of catalyst carrier, coating, catalyst adjuvant and active component.
The catalyst coating is the second process of catalyst production and is also the most critical link. Based on two main reaction functions of oxidation catalysis and reduction catalysis, and aiming at tail gas components under different working conditions, different products such as TWC, DOC, SCR, DPF, POC, ASC and the like are derived from the automobile catalyst, and the slurry characteristics, the coating modes and the coating parameters required by the different products are completely different. The various slurries of the catalyst have wide characteristics, and comprise both non-Newtonian fluid slurry with high solid content and thin slurry with low suspension characteristic and weak viscoelastic characteristic. Meanwhile, the physical properties of the raw materials of the catalyst are greatly changed, so that the granularity of the materials is greatly reduced, the chemical activity of the catalyst is increased, and the number of coating layers of each catalyst carrier is greatly increased.
Because the carrier has thousands of pore channels, if the thickness of the catalyst coating in each pore channel is inconsistent or the coating height is inconsistent, the catalytic purification effect when the waste gas flows through the catalyst pore channels is inconsistent, and the purification rate is reduced, which are called as uneven coating.
The traditional coating process is complex in operation process, needs a large amount of manual mold changing operation, and is long in coating mold changing time and low in efficiency. At present, a domestic catalyst coating system can only meet a certain specific coating mode generally, and has the disadvantages of long period from design to installation and debugging, high cost ratio and limited later-period expansion capability. Once a production enterprise needs to expand the product types or the capacity according to the development of the enterprise, a new coating system needs to be customized again, so that the investment cost of the enterprise is increased, time and labor are consumed, and a large amount of production space is occupied.
At present, domestic coating equipment generally has low coating precision and poor repeatability, and has a relatively obvious technical bottleneck under the national six standards, and particularly has a possible nonuniform coating phenomenon on large-size carriers (more than 300 mm) and non-through-hole carriers (such as DPF).
At present, compressed air is adopted in part of domestic coating processes for blowing, the compressed air leaks, slurry is seriously wasted, and the slurry cannot be effectively and reasonably recovered; air energy consumption is large, and technological parameter adjustment cannot be automatically carried out.
At present, the domestic quantitative feeding coating process has high requirements on slurry characteristics, carrier characteristics and the like, and has large use limit. In particular, effective control cannot be performed with respect to the uniformity of the half-coating, with the risk of possible clogging and excessive backpressure.
In addition, because the research and development of enterprises on catalyst products are enhanced, catalysts with various novel formulas are put into the market, the enterprises often cannot confirm the coating mode and coating parameters according to the traditional experience, the advantages and the characteristics of the original coating equipment cannot be exerted, and the quality instability, the efficiency reduction and the material loss are caused.

The specific coating process is as follows:
step 1: placing the catalyst carrier to be coated in a preheating cavity 81 of a drying device 8, and starting a hot air blower 82 to dry moisture in the catalyst carrier;
step 2: the first mechanical claw grabs the catalyst carrier and moves to the first weighing device 1 for weighing to obtain the initial weight of the catalyst carrier, the first mechanical claw returns to the initial position, then the second mechanical claw grabs the weighed catalyst carrier and transfers the catalyst carrier to the first lower coating cavity 25, and the second mechanical claw returns to the initial position;

The invention also provides a coating process based on the automatic catalyst slurry coating system, if two coating opportunities exist, the slurry coated twice enters the catalyst carrier through 2 different upper coating cavities respectively; or the slurry coated twice enters the catalyst carrier through 2 different lower coating cavities respectively; or the slurry coated for the first time firstly enters the catalyst carrier through the upper coating cavity, and the slurry coated for the second time enters the catalyst carrier through the lower coating cavity; or the slurry coated for the first time firstly enters the catalyst carrier through the lower coating cavity, and the slurry coated for the second time enters the catalyst carrier through the upper coating cavity. If the catalyst carrier reaches the qualified weight after the first coating, the second coating of the slurry is not needed.

The calculation mode is a method for calculating parameters such as preset coating pressure, flow, coating time, coating suction vacuum and the like according to the standard size, the standard first weight, the standard mesh value, the actual first weight, the actual second weight and the actual third weight of the carrier.
The coating process of the catalyst slurry automatic coating system provided by the invention selects an optimized coating mode and coating process according to the viscosity of different slurries or the mesh number or coating proportion of catalyst carriers so as to realize the uniformity and accuracy of the slurry in the catalyst carriers: for example, if the slurry has a high viscosity, or the number of the catalyst carriers is low (for example, 500 meshes or less), or the slurry is completely coated (the entire inner wall of the catalyst carrier is completely coated with the catalyst slurry), the coating method is most preferably adopted; if the viscosity of the slurry is larger (for example, the viscosity is more than 400 cp), the upper coating cavity is selected to be started, and the slurry enters the catalyst carrier from top to bottom through the upper coating cavity; if the number of the catalyst carrier meshes is small (for example, less than 500 meshes), or if the catalyst carrier needs to be coated in a full proportion, the coating method is adopted, and the uniformity and accuracy of the slurry in the catalyst carrier are higher than those of the lower coating method.
If the viscosity of the slurry is low, or the mesh number of the catalyst carrier is high, or partial area coating is needed, a lower coating mode is adopted, and the slurry enters the catalyst carrier from bottom to top through a lower coating cavity. If the viscosity of the slurry is low (for example, the viscosity is below 400 cp), the lower coating mode is adopted. If the catalyst support needs to be coated in regions even if the mesh number of the catalyst support is large (for example, 500 meshes or more), the slurry in the catalyst support is selected to have better uniformity and accuracy than the slurry in the catalyst support coated in the lower coating mode.
The upper coating mode and the lower coating mode have no mandatory selection standard, the upper coating mode or the lower coating mode is selected under the conditions of different catalyst slurry viscosities or catalyst carrier mesh numbers or coating proportions, and the deviation ranges of the coating weights are different, so that the uniformity and the accuracy of the slurry in the catalyst carrier can be effectively improved by selecting the proper coating mode.
Under the same environmental conditions, the same slurry (e.g., three-way catalyst TWC) was applied to the same catalyst support in the same volume, and prior to application, the average coating amounts were sampled and measured using the conventional process (using the single under-coat method) for the coating cans in winter and summer, respectively, as shown in table 1, the average coating amounts were sampled and measured using the conventional process (using the single over-coat method) for the coating cans in winter and summer, respectively, as shown in table 2, and the results of the tests using the coating process provided by the present invention, as shown in table 3, were determined as follows: ambient temperature: the indoor temperature of a coating workshop is 5 ℃ at the lowest in winter, 35 ℃ at the highest in summer, the solid content is 43%, the viscosity is 1489cp, the coating weight is 550g theoretically required, the qualified requirement of quality control of coating precision is not less than 2% of the coating weight, if the coating amount is too much, although the influence on the performance and quality of the catalyst is not great, the production cost is increased. The conventional process (using a single coating method) cannot perform a high-quality coating process for catalyst carriers such as DPF (diesel particulate trap) and GPF (gasoline particulate trap) and a zone coating process, and thus is not compared here.

The coating device and the coating process solve the problems that the traditional coating process is complex in operation process, needs a large amount of manual mold changing operation and is low in long-acting rate of coating mold changing time; the problems of uniformity and repeatability in the coating process are solved, the consistency of the catalyst product is enhanced, and strict quality management specifications of the automobile industry and the environmental protection industry are met; meanwhile, the physical property of the coating raw materials of the catalyst for the national six-year old is greatly changed, so that the requirement on regional coating is obviously increased, and the reliability of regional coating (half coating) can be greatly enhanced by the full-automatic coating process; the coating amount of each time is kept constant, and the consistency of the catalyst coated product is finally ensured; by setting different flow values of zone coating, the coating range of the zone coating can be accurately controlled, and the production consistency and repeatability of products are met.
The coating device provided by the invention integrates the upper coating cavity and the lower coating cavity, can be selected according to the characteristics of slurry to be coated, can be used for coating catalyst slurry on different catalyst carriers, has universality and can meet different requirements; through setting up temperature sensor, level sensor, density sensor and viscosity sensor, uniformity and the accuracy of catalyst thick liquids in can the effective control whole coating process, avoid the skew of temperature, viscosity, density and concentration to take place around the thick liquids in the whole coating process. The coating process can be selected according to the characteristics of the slurry to be coated, can finish coating the catalyst slurry in a short time, automatically correct process deviation, reduce material leakage and loss, improve production efficiency and is simple to operate.
The sizes and specifications of the carriers are different according to different vehicle types and engine characteristics, and meanwhile, even if the carriers with the same size and specification are used, the components and the characteristics of the used catalyst coating slurry are different due to different combustion working conditions of engines of various vehicles and enterprises. For catalyst production enterprises, the adjustment and the model change of the production line are realized when the different carriers and components are produced, and the coating device and the coating process are completely suitable for automatically coating carriers with various varieties and multiple characteristics and can meet the model change production of various catalysts; the equipment has a compact structure, is fully automatically operated, and can maximally utilize the energy production requirement of the equipment; the unique totally-enclosed design reduces the leakage and loss of materials; the coating process can automatically correct the deviation of the coating slurry, so that the setting of the coating parameters is simpler and more intuitive, and the quality risk of new product research and development is reduced.
