Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of mixing reactor technology, and more specifically to a flexible channel mixing reactor. Background Technology
[0002] In chemical or pharmaceutical production processes, reactions between multiple fluids are mostly achieved through mixing in reactors. The reactors used in production typically involve sequentially injecting multiple fluids into a mixing space via one or more channels, where they are then mixed. The channel structure is relatively simple. The multiple fluids undergo static, natural mixing after entering the mixing space.
[0003] In the prior art, a Chinese patent document with publication number CN211463148U and publication date of September 11, 2020, was proposed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. The technical solution disclosed in this patent document is as follows: a raw material mixing and stirring reactor, including a reaction tank, a feed pipe and a discharge pipe, wherein a stirring motor is bolted to the lower end of the reaction tank, the output shaft of the stirring motor passes through the reaction tank and is fixed with a stirring rod, and stirring blades are fixed to the middle and the end of the stirring rod, and steel wires are fixed to the surface of the stirring blades; a drive motor is bolted to the upper end of the reaction tank; and two stirring blades are fixed to the middle and the end of the stirring rod.
[0004] To address the issue of uniform mixing in this reactor, existing technology employs two agitator blades fixed at the middle and end of a stirring rod. This improves the uniformity of material mixing within the reactor. Additionally, steel wires fixed to the surface of the agitator blades facilitate material cutting within the reactor. A scraper installed inside the reactor is fixedly connected to the drive rod via a first connecting ring and a supporting rod. The first connecting ring is also fixed to the surface of the scraper, and the supporting rod is fixed between the drive rod and the first connecting ring, allowing the drive rod to rotate the scraper within the reactor. However, this method of stirring is inefficient and requires power. Furthermore, the stirring process makes it difficult to achieve a sealed reaction, especially in situations involving hazardous gas leaks. In some special operating conditions, the stirring reaction is conducted one batch at a time, hindering continuous production. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flexible channel mixing reactor to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0007] A flexible channel mixing reactor includes a mixing reactor body, the mixing reactor body including a reaction vessel, and a sealing assembly is detachably installed on the front end of the reaction vessel.
[0008] The reaction vessel is equipped with a mixing unit and a cleaning unit. The mixing unit is detachably installed inside the reaction vessel, and the cleaning unit is detachably installed on the upper and lower outer surfaces of the reaction vessel.
[0009] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that: the mixing unit includes a main outlet located at the front end of the inside of the reaction vessel, a main pipe is fixedly installed at the connection of the main outlet, branch pipes are provided around the outer surface of the main pipe, and a feed inlet is fixedly connected to the input end of the branch pipe.
[0010] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that: the inlet and the main outlet are aligned on the same horizontal plane; a Y-shaped pipe is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the main pipe; elastic hoses are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the Y-shaped pipe; and the other end of the elastic hose is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the branch pipe. By setting the inlet, it is convenient to pour raw materials into the pipe. The raw materials flow from the inlet to the branch pipe, and then flow to the elastic hoses through the Y-shaped pipe. The elastic hoses guide the materials into the main pipe. The two materials will mix at the tee of the Y-shaped pipe, which can avoid material collision. The various materials are divided into several parts and then mixed and reacted one by one, thereby making the mixing uniform and improving the efficiency of the mixing reaction.
[0011] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that: the cleaning unit includes a water inlet located at the bottom of the outer surface of the reaction tank, the other end of which extends into the bottom of the reaction tank; a pressure gauge is detachably installed on the top left outer surface of the reaction tank; a water tank is located on the top right upper part of the reaction tank; a water outlet is fixedly connected to the top of the water tank; and compressed air is fixedly connected to the left outer surface of the water tank. Clean water is injected into the outer shell through the water inlet. When injecting water, the device tilts, causing the water outlet to tilt upwards, ensuring that all internal air is expelled. The compressed air causes the rubber inner liner inside the water tank to deform and compress the clean water. The pressure is transmitted to the elastic hose, causing elastic deformation. The pressure gauge reading is observed, and the pressure of the compressed air is adjusted to squeeze out the accumulated residue inside the pipe, thereby quickly cleaning the residue.
[0012] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that: the reaction vessel includes an outer shell, a connecting ring is fixedly sleeved on the front end of the outer shell, an installation groove is provided inside the connecting ring, and a sealing cover is detachably connected inside the installation groove, so that the sealing cover can be easily installed inside the installation groove.
[0013] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that: a rubber ring is detachably fitted on the outer surface of the sealing cover, a vent hole is provided in the middle of the interior of the sealing cover, and a rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inner walls on both sides of the top of the sealing cover; the rubber ring is designed to expand when squeezed during installation, so that the gap is sealed.
[0014] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that: a rotating plate is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating rod, and a rubber column is fixedly connected to the middle position of the inner side of the rotating plate. The rubber column is movably inserted into the inside of the vent hole. When they are in contact, the rubber column will abut against the inside of the vent hole, thereby enhancing the sealing effect.
[0015] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that: a fixing rod is fixedly connected to both outer surfaces of the rotating plate, and an arc-shaped plate is rotatably sleeved on the other end of the fixing rod. A buckle is fixedly connected to the top of the arc-shaped plate. When the rotating plate is detached, the rubber column will also detach from the vent hole, and some of the internal gas will gradually flow outward through the vent hole, causing the internal gas pressure of the reaction vessel to decrease, thereby facilitating disassembly and assembly.
[0016] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the technical progress achieved by this invention compared to the prior art is as follows:
[0017] 1. This invention provides an elastic channel mixing reactor. By setting an inlet, it is easy to pour raw materials into the reactor. The raw materials flow from the inlet to the branch pipes, and then to the elastic flexible tubes through the Y-shaped pipes. The elastic flexible tubes guide the raw materials into the main pipe. The two materials will mix at the tee of the Y-shaped pipe. This method avoids material collision. The various materials are divided into several parts and then mixed one by one, thereby making the mixing uniform and improving the efficiency of the mixing reaction.
[0018] 2. This invention provides an elastic channel mixing reactor. By setting a water inlet to inject clean water into the shell, the equipment is tilted during water injection, and the outlet is tilted upwards to ensure that the internal air is completely expelled. Compressed air is set to compress and deform the rubber inner liner inside the water tank to squeeze the clean water. The pressure is transmitted to the elastic hose, which undergoes elastic deformation. The pressure gauge reading is observed and the pressure of the compressed air is adjusted to squeeze out the sludge inside the pipe, thereby quickly cleaning the sludge.
[0019] 3. This invention provides an elastic channel mixing reactor. By setting a sealing cover, it is easy to install inside the installation groove. The rubber ring expands when squeezed during installation, so that the gap is sealed. When it is fitted, the rubber column will abut against the inside of the vent hole, thereby enhancing the sealing effect. When the rotating plate is removed, the rubber column will also be removed from the vent hole, and some of the gas inside will gradually flow out through the vent hole, causing the internal gas pressure of the reaction vessel to decrease, thereby achieving the function of facilitating disassembly and assembly.

[0027] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments:
[0028] Example 1
[0029] like Figure 1-6As shown, the present invention provides an elastic channel mixing reactor, including a mixing reactor body 1, the mixing reactor body 1 including a reaction vessel 2, a sealing component 3 detachably installed on the front end of the reaction vessel 2, a mixing unit and a cleaning unit arranged inside the reaction vessel 2, the mixing unit being detachably installed inside the reaction vessel 2, and the cleaning unit being detachably installed on the upper and lower outer surfaces of the reaction vessel 2, the mixing unit including a total outlet 332 disposed at the front end inside the reaction vessel 2, a main pipe 333 being fixedly installed at the connection of the total outlet 332, branch pipes 331 being arranged around the outer surface of the main pipe 333, a feed inlet 33 being fixedly connected to the input end of the branch pipe 331, the feed inlet 33 and the total outlet 332 being aligned on the same horizontal plane, a Y-shaped pipe 334 being fixedly connected to the outer surface of the main pipe 333, and elastic flexible hoses 335 being fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the Y-shaped pipe 334, the other end of the elastic flexible hoses 335 being fixedly connected to the outer surface of the branch pipes 331.
[0030] Furthermore, by pouring raw materials into the feed inlet 33, the raw materials flow from the feed inlet 33 to the branch pipe 331. After entering the branch pipe 331, the raw materials flow to the flexible hose 335 in conjunction with the Y-shaped pipe 334. The two materials will mix at the tee of the Y-shaped pipe 334. This method avoids material collision. The flexible hose 335 then guides it into the main pipe 333. The various materials are divided into several parts and then mixed and reacted one by one, so as to achieve uniform mixing.
[0031] Example 2
[0032] like Figure 1-6 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the present invention provides a technical solution: Preferably, the cleaning unit includes a water inlet 22 disposed on the bottom of the outer surface of the reaction tank 2, the other end of the water inlet 22 extending into the bottom of the reaction tank 2, a pressure gauge 23 detachably mounted on the top left outer surface of the reaction tank 2, a water tank 24 disposed on the top right upper part of the reaction tank 2, a water outlet 25 fixedly connected to the top of the water tank 24, and a compressed air 26 fixedly connected to the left outer surface of the water tank 24.
[0033] Furthermore, after a certain reaction time, sludge may form inside the pipe. First, inject clean water into the shell 21 through the water inlet 22, while simultaneously opening the outlet 25. When injecting water, the equipment is tilted, and the outlet 25 is tilted upwards. This ensures that the internal air is completely expelled. When clean water is discharged from the outlet 25, it indicates that the liquid has filled the entire shell. At the same time, close the water inlet 22 and the outlet 25, and then open the compressed air 26. This causes the rubber inner liner inside the water tank 24 to be squeezed and deformed, squeezing the clean water. The pressure is transmitted to the elastic hose 335, which undergoes elastic deformation. Observe the reading of the pressure gauge 23 and adjust the pressure of the compressed air 26 to squeeze out the sludge inside the pipe, thereby quickly cleaning the sludge.
[0034] Example 3
[0035] like Figure 1-6 As shown, based on embodiments 1-2, the present invention provides a technical solution: Preferably, the reaction vessel 2 includes an outer shell 21, a connecting ring 31 is fixedly sleeved on the front end of the outer shell 21, an installation groove 32 is provided inside the connecting ring 31, a sealing cover 34 is detachably connected inside the installation groove 32, a rubber ring 35 is detachably sleeved on the outer surface of the sealing cover 34, a vent hole 36 is provided in the middle position inside the sealing cover 34, a rotating rod 37 is rotatably connected to the inner walls of the top two sides of the sealing cover 34, a rotating plate 38 is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating rod 37, a rubber column 39 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the inner side of the rotating plate 38, the rubber column 39 is movably inserted into the inside of the vent hole 36, a fixing rod 310 is fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of both sides of the rotating plate 38, an arc plate 311 is rotatably sleeved on the other end of the fixing rod 310, and a buckle 312 is fixedly connected to the top of the arc plate 311.
[0036] Furthermore, by inserting the bottom end of the sealing cap 34 into the mounting groove 32, the rubber ring 35 expands under pressure when the sealing cap 34 is pressed into the mounting groove 32, thus sealing the gap. Then, by pressing the latch block 312, the arc plate 311 is rotated upwards by 90 degrees. At this time, the rotating plate 38 is rotated again, which drives the arc plate 311 to rotate inwards by 90 degrees until the rotating plate 38 and the arc plate 311 are fitted into the groove of the sealing cap 34. When they are fitted, the rubber column 39 will abut against the inside of the vent hole 36, thereby strengthening the sealing effect. After the reaction, the latch block 31 is pressed in conjunction with the rubber ring 35 to expand the rubber ring 35, thus sealing the gap. 2. Lift the buckle 312 upwards by 90 degrees. The arc plate 311 rotates with the buckle 312. When rotated by 90 degrees, the bottom two sides of the arc plate 311 interlock with the top two sides of the rotating plate 38. When rotated downwards, the rotating plate 38 will rotate, thereby causing the rotating plate 38 and the arc plate 311 to disengage from the slot of the sealing cover 34. The rubber column 39 inside the rotating plate 38 will also disengage from the vent hole 36. Some of the gas inside will gradually flow out through the vent hole, causing the internal gas pressure of the reaction vessel 2 to decrease, thereby causing the sealing cover 34 to disengage from the mounting groove 32, achieving the function of easy disassembly and assembly.
[0037] The working principle of this flexible channel mixing reactor will be explained in detail below.
[0038] like Figure 1-6As shown, during use, raw materials are poured into the feed inlet 33, flowing from the feed inlet 33 to the branch pipe 331. At this time, the bottom end of the sealing cap 34 is engaged with the mounting groove 32. When the sealing cap 34 is pressed into the mounting groove 32, the rubber ring 35 expands under pressure, sealing the gap. Then, by pressing the buckle 312, the arc-shaped plate 311 is rotated upwards by 90 degrees. Then, the rotating plate 38 is rotated again, causing the arc-shaped plate 311 to rotate inwards by 90 degrees until the rotating plate 38 and the arc-shaped plate 311 are fitted into the groove of the sealing cap 34. During bonding, the rubber column 39 will abut against the inside of the vent hole 36, thereby enhancing the sealing effect. After the raw material enters the inside of the branch pipe 331, it flows to the flexible hose 335 in conjunction with the Y-shaped pipe 334. The two materials will mix at the tee of the Y-shaped pipe 334. This method avoids material collision. The flexible hose 335 then guides it into the inside of the main pipe 333. Various materials are divided into several parts and then mixed one by one to react, thereby making the mixture uniform. After the reaction, in conjunction with the snap-on block 312, the snap-on block 312 is raised ninety degrees, and the arc plate 311 rotates with the snap-on block 312. When rotated 90 degrees, the bottom two sides of the arc plate 311 interlock with the top two sides of the rotating plate 38. Further downward rotation causes the rotating plate 38 to rotate, thus disengaging both the rotating plate 38 and the arc plate 311 from the slots of the sealing cover 34. The rubber column 39 inside the rotating plate 38 also disengages from the vent hole 36, allowing some internal gas to gradually flow outward through the vent hole, reducing the internal pressure of the reaction vessel 2. This causes the sealing cover 34 to disengage from the mounting groove 32, facilitating disassembly and assembly. After a certain reaction time, sludge may accumulate inside the pipes, initially flowing from the water inlet 22 to the outer shell. 21. Fill the inside with clean water and open the outlet 25. When filling with water, tilt the equipment so that the outlet 25 is tilted upwards. This ensures that the internal air is completely expelled. When the clean water is discharged from the outlet 25, it means that the liquid has filled the entire shell. At the same time, close the inlet 22 and the outlet 25, and then open the compressed air 26. This causes the rubber inner liner inside the water tank 24 to be squeezed and deformed, squeezing the clean water. The pressure is transmitted to the elastic hose 335, which undergoes elastic deformation. Observe the reading of the pressure gauge 23 and adjust the pressure of the compressed air 26 to squeeze out the accumulated residue inside the pipe, thereby quickly cleaning the residue.
[0039] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
