In the present specification, the exemplary description of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0032] The properties of nitrocellulose are low ignition point, flammable and explosive, which belongs to flammable and explosive hazardous chemicals. If an accident occurs, the consequences and effects will be great. The production and processing process of nitrocellulose liquid is also a risky process. Therefore, higher requirements are put forward for the process in the production process to regulate the processing flow of nitrocellulose.

[0033] Therefore, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The nitrocellulose feeding process proposed by the present application includes the following steps performed in sequence:

[0034] S1, adding solvent: injecting solvent into the stirred tank;

[0035] S2, adding auxiliary agent: after adding the solvent, injecting the auxiliary agent into the stirred tank;

[0036] S3, putting nitrocellulose: after adding the auxiliary agent, putting the nitrocellulose into the stirred tank according to the order from low to high viscosity, so that the nitrocellulose is soaked in the solvent;

[0037] S4, pressing nitrocellulose: manually using the cotton pressing rod 100 to push down and press the nitrocellulose, so that the nitrocellulose is immersed in the solvent;

[0038] S5, sufficient soaking: after pressing the nitrocellulose, the nitrocellulose is soaked in the stirred tank for more than 30 minutes;

[0039] S6, starting stirring: after soaking, manually observing that the nitrocellulose is completely immersed in the solvent, and starting the stirring tank to stir the nitrocellulose.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present application, both adding the solvent and adding the auxiliary agent are automatically delivered by the delivery pump. It should be noted that according to the production process operation procedure, first instruct the solvent delivery pump on the automatic operation system, the solvent delivery pump delivers the solvent into the stirred tank, after completing the solvent delivery, the auxiliary agent delivery pump is used to add the required auxiliary agent into the stirred tank. In order to ensure the safety of the process, the two solution delivery processes cannot be carried out at the same time, and the solvent is delivered first and then the auxiliary agent is delivered. For example, the solvent is toluene, xylene, or most ester organic solvents. In some embodiments, the solvent is at least one of acetone, glacial acetic acid, methanol, ethyl acetate, amyl acetate, dipropylene glycol dimethyl ether, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate. The common auxiliary agent for nitrocellulose is the anti-yellowing auxiliary agent for nitrocellulose.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present application, after adding the solvent, manually observing the liquid level of the solvent to be stable, and then adding the auxiliary agent, to avoid static electricity generated by the solvent stirring when adding the auxiliary agent.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present application, after adding the solvent, at least 3 minutes are interval before adding the auxiliary agent, to ensure that the solvent is stable before adding the auxiliary agent, and further ensure the independence of the two steps of adding the solvent and adding the auxiliary agent.

[0043] As Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the cotton pressing rod 100 is made of soft metal. It should be noted that different viscosity nitrocellulose is put into the stirred tank according to the production order specified formula, and the order of putting nitrocellulose is gradually put according to the principle of putting low viscosity first and high viscosity later, and the speed of putting nitrocellulose should be controlled not too fast to ensure that all the nitrocellulose put into the stirred tank is soaked in the solvent. If a large amount of nitrocellulose floats on the solvent in the stirred tank and does not sink, manual cotton pressing should be performed using the cotton pressing rod 100. When pressing cotton, it is determined whether to use different types of cotton pressing rod 100 according to the sinking speed of the nitrocellulose, such as when the nitrocellulose stops sinking, the cotton pressing rod 100 is used to push the nitrocellulose under the solvent to ensure that all the nitrocellulose is soaked in the solvent. It should be noted that the cotton pressing rod 100 is made of soft metal and does not produce collision sparks, ensuring the safety of the production process. Preferably, the cotton pressing rod 100 is made of aluminum. Further, the end of the cotton pressing rod 100 is provided with a plurality of pressing plates 110 for pressing nitrocellulose, and the plurality of pressing plates 110 are arranged along the circumference of the cotton pressing rod 100. For example, the pressing plates 110 form a cross structure. It should be noted that the manual cotton pressing rod 100 is pressed by the pressing plates 110 at the front end to press the nitrocellulose floating on the upper layer of the solvent downward, and when the cotton pressing rod 100 is pressed against the nitrocellulose near the stirring tank shaft portion, the cotton pressing rod 100 cannot collide with the stirring tank shaft portion to avoid damaging the cotton pressing rod 100. When pressing the nitrocellulose, the nitrocellulose at the feeding port of the stirred tank is pressed first and then the nitrocellulose in the stirred tank is gradually pressed down.

[0044] Optionally, the nitrocellulose is statically soaked in the stirred tank for 30-50 minutes. Preferably, the nitrocellulose is statically soaked in the stirred tank for 45 minutes, and then the observation window is observed to check whether the nitrocellulose in the stirred tank is fully soaked, and then the nitrocellulose feeding process is completed and the next process is started.

[0045] The above describes the embodiments of the present application in detail in combination with the drawings, but the present application is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the purpose of the present application.
