Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of purification equipment technology, and in particular to a low-energy purification equipment for dibenzoyl tartaric acid. Background Technology
[0002] Benzoyl tartaric acid is a chemical compound commonly used to treat neurological disorders such as epilepsy. It is an antiepileptic drug that typically controls seizures by influencing brain nerve activity. Its chemical structure consists of a phenyl group and a tartaric acid molecule linked by a nitrogen atom. For the purification of benzoyl tartaric acid, freeze crystallization and recrystallization are the most common purification methods. These methods not only effectively separate impurities but also maintain the purity of benzoyl tartaric acid relatively well. The design goal of low-energy purification equipment is to reduce energy consumption during production by employing energy-saving technologies, while maintaining high product purity and high yield.
[0003] The prior art publication CN222131916U provides a tartaric acid purification device. By rotating the housing and the rotating rod, the operator can rotate the cover downwards to close the tank, insert the first transmission rod into the tank, and then start the drive motor to drive the first transmission rod to rotate. This causes the stirring paddle to stir the solution and chemicals inside the tank, making them evenly mixed, accelerating the chemical reaction rate, and improving the purification efficiency of the device for tartaric acid.
[0004] In the process of cryo-crystallization purification of benzoyl tartaric acid, the existing technology requires the crystallized benzoyl tartaric acid to be taken out of the frozen environment and separated from the mother liquor using separation equipment. However, the existing technology is not convenient for separation in a frozen environment, which leads to the crystals melting or even partially dissolving back into the solution when they are taken out, resulting in a decrease in the purity of the crystals.
[0005] In summary, the existing technology lacks a technique for separating the mother liquor under a frozen environment during the cryogenic crystallization purification of dibenzoyl tartaric acid. Summary of the Invention

[0013] Preferably, the annular frame is provided with a sliding groove, and two sliders are slidably fitted on the inner wall of the sliding groove.

While the rotating seat drives the crystallization separation screen to perform centrifugal separation, the U-shaped scraper can be rotated to scrape off the crystals attached to the inner wall of the crystallization end of the frozen crystallizer.

By setting up a solution precooling seat, the mother liquor after crystallization separation can be injected into the solution precooling seat to precool the solution to be crystallized. When the freeze crystallizer is freezing, the solution in the freeze crystallizer can reach the optimal crystallization temperature more quickly, reducing the cooling time and further improving the crystallization efficiency. This not only optimizes the entire crystallization process, but also reduces the cooling time, which not only reduces energy consumption, but also improves the efficiency, purity and recovery rate of crystallization separation.

[0019] The following description is intended to disclose the invention and enable those skilled in the art to implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.
[0020] like Figures 1-8The device shown is a low-energy purification equipment for dibenzoyl tartaric acid, including a frame 1, a freezing crystallizer 2 rotatably connected to the frame 1, a rotating seat 3 rotatably connected inside the freezing crystallizer 2, an installation pipe 4 fixedly connected to one end of the rotating seat 3, a crystallization separation mesh seat 5 movably inserted into one end of the installation pipe 4, an adjusting scraping mechanism 6 rotatably connected inside the freezing crystallizer 2, a drain pipe 7 fixedly connected through one end of the freezing crystallizer 2, and a solution precooling seat 8 fixedly mounted on the frame 1.
[0021] like Figure 3 As shown, a motor A101 is fixedly connected to one end of the equipment frame 1, and the output end of the motor A101 is fixedly connected to the freeze crystallizer 2. An arc-shaped rack A102 is fixedly connected to one side of the equipment frame 1.
[0022] like Figure 4 As shown, a refrigeration pipe 201 is installed on the inner wall of one end of the cryogenic crystallizer 2, and a tank cover 202 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of one side of the cryogenic crystallizer 2. A liquid inlet pipe 203 is rotatably connected to one end of the cryogenic crystallizer 2 and is fixedly connected to the equipment frame 1. A refrigeration compressor is installed inside the cryogenic crystallizer 2, and the refrigeration pipe 201 is connected to the refrigeration compressor.
[0023] like Figure 5 As shown, a ring rack 301 is fixedly connected to the outer circle of the rotating seat 3. A drive wheel 302 is meshed and driven on one side of the ring rack 301. The drive wheel 302 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the freeze crystallizer 2 through a pin. One end of the drive wheel 302 extends through the inner wall of the freeze crystallizer 2 to the outside and is fixedly connected to a motor B303. The motor B303 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the freeze crystallizer 2.
[0024] like Figure 6 As shown, multiple locking blocks 401 are slidably fitted through the inner wall of the bottom end of the mounting tube 4. One end of each locking block 401 has a sloping surface on its lower side, and the other end of each locking block 401 is fixedly connected to a spring 402. The other end of the spring 402 is also fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the mounting tube 4. A conical ring 403 is slidably fitted onto the outer wall of the mounting tube 4, and the conical ring 403 is in slidable contact with one end of the locking block 401. Multiple slots 501 are formed on the outer wall of the top end of the crystallization separation mesh base 5, and these slots 501 are movably inserted into one end of the locking block 401. Pushing down the conical ring 403 causes it to contact and press against the locking block 401, causing the locking block 401 to move out of the slot 501.
[0025] By setting a crystallization separation mesh seat 5 inside the freeze crystallization tank 2 and using the flipping of the freeze crystallization tank 2 and the rotation of the crystallization separation mesh seat 5 for automatic separation, the complex process of removing crystals is avoided, the freeze environment is maintained, the risk of crystal melting is reduced, the separation efficiency is improved, energy consumption is reduced, the operation process is simplified, and the purity of the product is improved, which greatly enhances the overall efficiency and effect of freeze crystallization purification.
[0026] like Figure 7 As shown, the adjusting scraping mechanism 6 includes a universal joint 601, which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the freeze crystallizer 2. An adjusting wheel 602 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the universal joint 601, and the adjusting wheel 602 engages with an arc-shaped rack A102 for transmission. A threaded rod 603 is fixedly connected to the inner end of the universal joint 601, and the threaded rod 603 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the freeze crystallizer 2. An adjusting block 604 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod 603, and an annular frame 605 is fixedly connected to one end of the adjusting block 604. During the rotation process, the adjusting wheel 602 engages with the arc-shaped rack A102, thereby driving the threaded rod 603 connected to the universal joint 601 to rotate. This allows the threaded rod 603 to move the annular frame 605 connected to the adjusting block 604, causing the annular frame 605 to drive the U-shaped scraping rod 607 connected to the slider 606 to contact the inner wall of the crystallization end of the freeze crystallizer 2.
[0027] The ring frame 605 has a sliding groove 608. Two sliders 606 are slidably fitted on the inner wall of the sliding groove 608. A U-shaped scraper 607 is fixedly connected between the two sliders 606. The U-shaped scraper 607 is slidably fitted through the rotating seat 3. The outer wall of the U-shaped scraper 607 is slidably in contact with the inner wall of one end of the freezing crystallization tank 2.
[0028] like Figure 8 As shown, a valve body 701 is fixedly connected to one end of the drain pipe 7, and a transmission wheel 702 is fixedly connected to the valve stem of the valve body 701.
[0029] like Figure 8As shown, a precooling chamber 801 is formed on the inner wall of the outer side of the solution precooling seat 8. A pump body 802 is fixedly installed at the top of the solution precooling seat 8. The input end of the pump body 802 extends to the inner wall of the middle part of the solution precooling seat 8. The output end of the pump body 802 is fixedly connected to one end of the liquid adding pipe 203. A liquid guide pipe 803 is fixedly connected through one side of the precooling chamber 801. The top end of the liquid guide pipe 803 is in sliding contact with the output end of the valve body 701. An arc-shaped rack B804 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the liquid guide pipe 803. The arc-shaped rack B804 meshes with the transmission wheel 702. A cover plate 805 is threadedly connected to the solution precooling seat 8. A valve is fixedly connected through one side of the bottom end of the precooling chamber 801. A sealing gasket is fixedly connected to the top end of the liquid guide pipe 803. Under the action of the arc-shaped rack B804, the valve stem connected to the transmission wheel 702 will rotate, causing the valve body 701 to open, so that the mother liquor in the freeze crystallizer 2 can be injected into the precooling chamber 801 through the drain pipe 7 and the guide pipe 803.
[0030] Working principle: When it is necessary to purify dibenzoyl tartaric acid in the mother liquor by freezing crystallization, the mother liquor in the solution precooling seat 8 is first injected into the freezing crystallization tank 2 through the liquid addition pipe 203 using the pump body 802. Then, the temperature in the freezing crystallization tank 2 is reduced by using the refrigeration pipe 201 and the refrigeration compressor, so that the dibenzoyl tartaric acid in the mother liquor can be crystallized. After sufficient crystallization, the connected freezing crystallizer 2 is rotated 180 degrees by the motor A101. During the rotation, the mother liquor and crystals are separated by the freezing crystallizer 2. At the same time, during the rotation, the adjusting wheel 602 will mesh with the arc-shaped rack A102, which will drive the threaded rod 603 connected to the universal joint 601 to rotate. The threaded rod 603 can drive the ring frame 605 connected to the adjusting block 604 to move. The ring frame 605 drives the U-shaped scraper rod 607 connected to the slider 606 to contact the inner wall of the crystallization end of the freezing crystallizer 2. Then, the motor B303 drives the drive wheel 302 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating seat 3 connected to the ring rack 301 to rotate. This allows the rotating seat 3 to drive the crystallization separation screen 5 to rotate. The mother liquor in the crystallization separation screen 5 is fully separated by centrifugal force. At the same time, the rotating seat 3 drives the U-shaped scraper 607 to rotate, scraping off the crystals attached to the inner wall of the freeze crystallizer 2. At the same time, when the freezing crystallizer 2 is flipped, the output end of the valve body 701 will contact the top of the liquid guide pipe 803. Then, under the action of the arc rack B804, the valve rod connected to the transmission wheel 702 will rotate, causing the valve body 701 to open, so that the mother liquor in the freezing crystallizer 2 can be injected into the precooling chamber 801 through the drain pipe 7 and the liquid guide pipe 803 to precool the mother liquor to be purified in the solution precooling seat 8. After the mother liquor in the freezing crystallization tank 2 is drained, the tank cover 202 is opened and the conical ring 403 is pushed down so that the conical ring 403 contacts and squeezes the locking block 401, so that the locking block 401 is removed from the locking groove 501, and the crystallization separation mesh seat 5 can be removed to clean the dibenzoyl tartaric acid crystals therein.
