[0003] When preparing ceramic zinc borate flame retardant, zinc oxide is deposited to the bottom of the reactor due to gravity during the reaction process. It can only fully react with boric acid after stirring. The deposition, stirring and reaction are continuously carried out until the reaction is fully completed.

A round rod is installed on the outside of each group of stirring rods, and the diameter of the round rod gradually increases from top to bottom. Each of the round rods is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is provided with evenly distributed reflux blades. A soft shaft is rotatably connected to the inside of each round rod, and both ends of the soft shaft are fixedly connected to the corresponding rotating shaft.

[0006] Preferably, each group of the stirring rods is rotatably connected to a connecting rod, one end of the connecting rod is rotatably passed through the main rod and fixedly connected to bevel gear one, each group of bevel gear one is annularly meshed on the outside of bevel gear two, the other end of the connecting rod is rotatably passed through the round rod and fixedly connected to bevel gear three, the bevel gear three is meshed and connected to bevel gear four, and the bevel gear four is fixedly connected to the soft shaft inside the corresponding round rod.

[0007] Preferably, a driving rod is rotatably connected in the main rod, and the second bevel gear is arranged on the driving rod from top to bottom, and the second bevel gear is rotatably connected in the main rod.

[0008] Preferably, a shell is provided on the top of the reactor, and a gear 1 is rotatably connected to the middle part of the shell. A motor is installed on the top wall of the shell, and the driving end of the motor passes through the shell and is connected to the top surface of the gear 1. The bottom surface of the gear 1 and the driving rod are fixed to each other, and one side of the gear 1 is meshed with the gear 2, and the gear 2 is rotatably connected to the top wall of the shell.

[0009] Preferably, the inner bottom of the shell is rotatably connected to a driving plate, the driving plate and the top end of the main rod are fixed, an inner gear ring is installed on the outer side of the upper surface of the driving plate, and the inner gear ring and gear 1 are meshed with each other.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom end of the main rod is fixedly connected to a scraper rod that fits against the bottom wall of the reactor. The bottom end of the reactor is provided with a discharge port, and a valve is provided on the discharge port.

[0011] Preferably, a first feed port for introducing boric acid and water is provided on one side of the top of the reactor, and a second feed port for introducing zinc oxide is provided on the other side of the top of the reactor.

[0012] Preferably, the reactor has double side walls and a heating plate for temperature control is provided inside the side walls.

[0013] Working principle: During actual use, boric acid and water are mixed in a mass ratio of 1:1.6-1.9, and introduced into the reactor through the feed port 1. The reactor is then heated to 70 degrees Celsius and fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether is added and stirred until it is completely dissolved. After dissolution, zinc oxide is introduced into the reactor through the feed port 2. At this time, under a constant temperature of 70-85 degrees Celsius, the motor drives the main rod, round rod, rotating shaft and reflux blade to continue working and stirring for 6-7 hours. When the mixed liquid inside the reactor is stirred, the motor drives gear 2 through gear 1 to rotate the inner gear ring in the shell. When the inner gear ring rotates, the inner gear ring drives the main rod to rotate through the drive plate, and the main rod stirs the solution inside the reactor through the stirring rod and the round rod. At the same time, gear 1 drives bevel gear 2 to rotate through the drive rod When the main rod rotates, bevel gear one drives bevel gear three through the connecting rod, which drives bevel gear four to make the soft shaft rotate in the round rod. When the soft shaft rotates, the rotating shaft rotates on the round rod, and the rotating shaft drives the reflux blades to drive the mixed liquid inside the reactor to mix and stir from bottom to top. When the main rod rotates, the scraper at the bottom of the main rod prevents the zinc oxide that has not reacted completely from being deposited at the bottom of the reactor. At the same time, when the reflux blades rotate, since the spacing between the reflux blades decreases from top to bottom, there is no resistance when the reflux blades stir the liquid at the bottom of the reactor upward, so the zinc oxide that slowly settles at the bottom of the reactor is continuously pushed upward, so that the zinc oxide will not sink and cause a slow reaction, and no sedimentation crystals will appear at the bottom of the reactor. At the same time, it is guaranteed that the evenly mixed reaction solution can realize the effective reaction and make the reaction very sufficient.

[0014] The present invention provides a preparation process for a ceramic zinc borate flame retardant, which has the following beneficial effects: The present invention drives bevel gear two to rotate through gear one through a driving rod, and bevel gear one drives bevel gear three through a connecting rod to drive bevel gear four, so that the soft shaft rotates in the round rod. When the soft shaft rotates, the rotating shaft rotates from the outside to the inside on the round rod, and the rotating shaft drives the reflux blades to drive the mixed liquid inside the reactor to mix and stir from bottom to top along the inner wall of the reactor. When the main rod rotates, the scraper at the bottom of the main rod prevents the deposition of unreacted zinc oxide at the bottom of the reactor. Since the spacing between the reflux blades decreases from top to bottom, when the reflux blades stir the liquid at the bottom of the reactor upward, the liquid flows upward from the inside to the outside, so the zinc oxide slowly settling at the bottom of the reactor is continuously pushed upward, so that the zinc oxide will not sink and cause a slow reaction, and no sedimentation crystallization will appear at the bottom of the reactor, and the reaction is sufficient and uniform.
