Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 In an embodiment of the present invention, a methanol recovery device for a dimethyl adipate dissolving kettle includes a dissolving kettle 1, a water seal tank 3, a connecting pipe 2 connecting the dissolving kettle 1 and the water seal tank 3, and a transmission unit 5 arranged inside the water seal tank 3;

[0026] The transmission unit 5 includes a mounting frame 501 installed inside the water seal tank 3. A vacuum pump 502 for increasing the extraction speed of gas is installed on the top of the mounting frame 501. One end of the vacuum pump 502 is connected to a drive motor 503 for providing power to the vacuum pump 502. The outer wall of the output end of the drive motor 503 is sleeved and engaged with a transmission belt 504 for transmitting the rotational force of the drive motor 503.

[0027] The transmission unit 5 further includes a first flap 505 sleeved on the inner side of the other end of the transmission belt 504. One end of the first flap 505 is rotatably connected to a second flap 506. The first flap 505 and the second flap 506 are both used to spread the water seal liquid. The first flap 505 and the second flap 506 are both rotatably connected to the inner side of the water seal tank 3.

[0028] The top of the water seal tank 3 is provided with an exhaust pipe 4 which penetrates the top of the water seal tank 3 to the inside of the water seal tank 3 and is used for guiding the filtered gas;

[0029] The transmission unit 5 also includes a rotating rod 507 fixedly connected to one end of the first flap 505 and extending into the interior of the second flap 506. One end of the rotating rod 507 is fixedly connected to a first spur gear 508. The outer wall of the first spur gear 508 is meshed with a second spur gear 509. The second spur gear 509 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the water seal tank 3. The outer wall of the second spur gear 509 is meshed with a gear ring 510. The gear ring 510 is fixedly connected to one end of the second flap 506 and rotatably connected to the inner wall of the water seal tank 3.

[0030] The inner wall of the mounting frame 501 is provided with a hole slot that matches the rotation space of the transmission belt 504, and the driving motor 503 is electrically connected to the external power supply through a wire;

[0031] A stirring motor is installed at the top of the dissolving kettle 1, a heating tube for heating the material is installed inside the dissolving kettle 1, and a stirring rod for stirring the material is connected to the output end of the stirring motor;

[0032] One side outer wall of the water seal tank 3 is connected to a water adding pipe for adding water, and the bottom end of the water seal tank 3 is connected to a drain for replacing the water.

[0033] In this embodiment, the material inside the dissolving kettle 1 is stirred and heated by starting the stirring motor and the heating pipe, and the driving motor 503 is started at the same time. The operation of the driving motor 503 will make the vacuum pump 502 work, and the working vacuum pump 502 will accelerate the extraction of the gas generated in the dissolving kettle 1 during the heating and stirring process, and enter the interior of the water seal tank 3 through the connecting pipe 2. Since the output end of the connecting pipe 2 is immersed in the submerged position of the water seal liquid, the contact between the gas and the liquid will produce bubbles, most of which will burst in the water and be discharged to the top of the liquid surface, while some un-cracked bubbles will also float above the liquid surface. At the same time, the operation of the driving motor 503 will also drive the transmission belt 504 sleeved on its output end to transmit, and the transmission belt 504 will drive the first flap 505 and the rotating rod 507. The rotation of the rotating rod 507 will drive the first spur gear 508 and the second spur gear 509 to rotate. At this time, the second spur gear 509 and the first The rotation direction of the spur gear 508 will be opposite, and the rotation of the second spur gear 509 will transmit force to the gear ring 510, so that the gear ring 510 synchronously drives the second flap 506 to rotate. Then the rotation direction of the gear ring 510 is the same as that of the second spur gear 509, that is, the rotation direction of the gear ring 510 and the second flap 506 is opposite to that of the rotating rod 507 and the first flap 505. Then the rotation directions of the first flap 505 and the second flap 506 can be concluded to be in opposite states. Then the first flap 505 and the second flap 506 rotating in opposite directions will spread water in two directions above the water surface. At the same time, the rotation of the first flap 505 and the second flap 506 will destroy some of the floating bubbles, reducing the leakage of unfiltered gas as the bubbles float, and the spread water will also filter the gas again. The filtered gas will flow out to the outside through the exhaust pipe 4, further increasing the purity of the filtration.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 The inner wall of the transmission belt 504 is connected to the outer wall of the first flap 505 and the output end of the driving motor 503 through a sprocket. The outer walls of the first flap 505 and the second flap 506 are fixedly connected with blades. There are three blades, and the three blades are evenly distributed on the outer walls of the first flap 505 and the second flap 506. The inner wall of the water seal tank 3 is provided with a rotating groove that matches the rotation trajectory of the gear ring 510. The inner side of the gear ring 510 is fixedly connected with a tooth block that meshes with the outer wall of the second spur gear 509.

[0035] In this embodiment: through this structure, the material can be placed into the interior of the dissolving kettle 1 through the feeding port of the dissolving kettle 1, and the material is stirred and heated by the stirring motor, stirring rod and heating tube. The generated gas will be accelerated by the suction action of the vacuum pump 502 and enter the interior of the dissolving kettle 1 through the connecting pipe 2, and the operation of the driving motor 503 will drive the first flap 505 and the second flap 506 to rotate. The opposite rotation of the first flap 505 and the second flap 506 will increase the area of ​​water spreading and further increase the filtering of the gas.

[0036] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with this technical field, within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solutions and inventive concepts of the present invention, should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
