Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of melt crystallization technology, and more particularly to a melt crystallization tower and crystallization method. Background Technology

[0002] A molten crystallizer is a device used to separate crystals from molten substances. It is widely used in industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, and metallurgy for purifying substances, separating different components, or recovering target products. It utilizes temperature gradients to guide the crystallization process and is suitable for many industrial fields, especially for the purification and separation of high-purity chemicals. Its core principle is to leverage the difference in solubility of substances at different temperatures, using temperature control to transform the solute from a molten state into a crystalline solid.

[0003] Research revealed that in existing crystallization tower systems, scale and dirt accumulate on the outer wall of the crystallizer tubes after a period of use, affecting temperature measurement and conduction. Furthermore, existing crystallizer tubes are mostly densely manufactured, making cleaning particularly time-consuming and laborious. Therefore, we propose a novel crystallization tower and crystallization method that facilitates cleaning of the crystallizer tube surface. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the technical problem that existing crystallization towers make it difficult to clean the dense outer wall of the crystallization tube in a timely manner, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A melting crystallization tower includes a tower tube body with an overall vertical tubular structure. A bottom frame is fixed to the outer wall of the bottom end of the tower tube body. A bottom support ring is fixed to the inner circumference of the tower tube body near the bottom end, and an upwardly curved heating tube is inserted into the center of the bottom support ring. A potato chip-shaped partition with its concave surface facing upward is fixed to the inner circumference of the tower tube body near the center, and a filter screen is embedded in the center of the groove of the potato chip-shaped partition. A horizontal sealing baffle is fixed inside the tower tube body near the top of the potato chip-shaped partition. An insertion hole is opened in the center of the sealing baffle, and a vertical sealing through-tube is inserted into the insertion hole. The inner circumference of the tower tube body near the bottom end of the bottom support ring has an upwardly curved heating tube inserted into the center of the bottom support ring. A cap-shaped tube is fixed near the top, and an annular top cover is fixed to the outer circumference of the cap-shaped tube near the top. The annular top cover, the tower tube body, and the outer side of the annular top cover constitute a temporary storage cavity. The lower surface of the cap-shaped tube and the upper part of the sealing baffle form a crystallization chamber. Multiple crystallization tubes with a centrally symmetrical spiral structure are inserted into the surface of the cap-shaped tube. An anti-slip bearing is fixed to the inner circumference of the cap-shaped tube near the bottom, and a transmission tube extending into the crystallization chamber is rotatably connected in the anti-slip bearing. Multiple cleaning rods with a spiral distribution are fixed to the outer circumference of the transmission tube, and a brush head is fixed to the end of each cleaning rod away from the transmission tube.

[0006] Preferably, an inlet pipe is inserted into the outer circumference of the tower body near the top, and the same circulation pipe is inserted into the outer wall of the tower body near both the top and bottom. The suction end of the circulation pipe is inserted into the outer circumference of the tower body near the bottom, and a circulation pump is installed near the bottom of the circulation pipe. The water outlet end of the circulation pipe is inserted into a temporary storage chamber, so that when in use, the filtered liquid with small crystals can be recirculated and crystallized again until the crystals reach the required size.

[0007] Preferably, each of the multiple crystallizing tubes has a parallel and vertical straight tube at its bottom end, and a sealing sleeve is slidably fitted onto the bottom end of each straight tube at the bottom end of the crystallizing tube. A snap-fit ​​ring is reserved on the outer circumference of the sealing sleeve, and a compression spring is inherently present between the upper surface of the snap-fit ​​ring and the lower surface of the sealing baffle. The compression spring is fitted onto the outer wall of the corresponding straight tube. A fixing seat is fixed near the top end of the inner circumference of the cap-shaped tube, and an electric push rod is fixed on the surface of the fixing seat. A pressure block is fixed at the top end of the extension rod of the electric push rod. A lifting rod is slidably inserted into the inner circumference of the sealing through tube, and the top end of the lifting rod is fixed to the lower surface of the pressure block. A support plate is fixed through the sealing through tube at the bottom end of the lifting rod. An ear plate is reserved on the outer circumference of the support plate for sealing the bottom end of the sealing sleeve.

[0008] Preferably, the upper surface of the ear plate is fixed with a rubber plug, and the top of the rubber plug is adapted to the inner diameter of the straight tube. Multiple ribs are fixed on the outer circumference of the heating tube; this can improve the sealing effect.

[0009] Preferably, a driven gear ring is sleeved on the outer circumference of the top end of the transmission tube, and a motor base is fixed on the inner wall of the cap-shaped tube near the bottom end. A reduction motor is fixed on the surface of the motor base, and a driving gear that meshes with the driven gear ring is fixed on the top end of the output shaft of the reduction motor. The surface of the crystallization tube can be cleaned by controlling the start of the reduction motor.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom end of the cap-shaped tube has multiple through holes, and the top end of the crystallizing tube is inserted into the corresponding through hole; the plane where the top opening of the crystallizing tube is located is higher than the height of the top opening of the through hole; it can play a certain filtering role when leakage occurs, and can block some solidified blocky objects.

[0011] Preferably, the outer wall of the tower tube body is connected to cooling water pipes for water inlet and outlet at the upper and lower ends of the crystallization chamber, respectively, and the outer wall of the tower tube body has an observation window on the front, with transparent glass embedded in the observation window, so that the condition of the outer wall of the internal crystallization tube can be observed in real time and it can be determined whether its surface needs to be cleaned.

[0012] Preferably, the tower tube body has a circular hole with its center line passing through the axis of the tower tube body above the potato chip-shaped partition. A grain removal mechanism is installed in the circular hole, comprising a straight tube embedded in the hole. An eccentric trumpet tube with its larger opening facing the straight tube is fixed to the end of the straight tube away from the tower tube body. A plug ring is embedded at the opening of the eccentric trumpet tube, and a hinged cap is hinged to the surface of the plug ring. A sealed bearing is embedded in the thicker tube wall of the eccentric trumpet tube, and a through-hole spiral rod is rotatably connected to the sealed bearing. Furthermore, two limiting rings are fixed near the sealed bearing on the smooth part of the auger rod, and the same spring retaining ring is rotatably connected between the two limiting rings; a clamping spring is fixed to the side of the spring retaining ring, and the other end of the clamping spring is fixed to the surface of the hinge cover; an anti-torsion sleeve is sleeved on the end of the auger rod away from the potato chip-shaped partition, and a drive motor is fixed to the end of the anti-torsion sleeve through a coupling; a permanent magnet is fixed on the end of the auger rod away from the drive motor, and an electromagnet is embedded in the end of the outer wall of the tower tube body near the permanent magnet.

[0013] Preferably, the end of the eccentric trumpet tube furthest from the straight tube is connected to a receiving pipe, which is connected to an evaporator, allowing for further purification of the crystallized product.

[0014] A melt crystallization method includes the following steps:

[0015] S1: Before use, fill the crystallization chamber with cooling water, and then pass the saturated liquid into the temporary storage chamber through the inlet pipe. Before passing the liquid into the temporary storage chamber, make sure that the ear plate of the tray seals the bottom of multiple crystallization tubes. After the crystallization tubes are filled and have been left for a period of time, that is, after the crystallization period is over, start the electric push rod.

[0016] S2: Before starting the electric push rod to discharge the crystals, ensure that the electromagnet is energized, that is, press the spiral rod and the hinged cover tightly against the end near the plug ring; at this time, under the action of the filter screen plate at the bottom of the potato chip-shaped partition groove, the large diameter crystals are intercepted, and the remaining liquid and small crystals fall into the bottom support ring below, and wait for circulation crystallization after heating.

[0017] S3: When a large number of large-diameter grains have accumulated on the potato chip-shaped partition, the electromagnet can be turned off and the drive motor can be started to scrape the required grains into the receiving tube.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0019] 1. By using a rotating transmission tube installed in the crystallization chamber in conjunction with brush heads arranged in a spiral pattern on its outer wall, the outer wall of the crystallization tube can be brushed periodically during crystallization, thereby preventing the heat conduction efficiency from deteriorating due to scaling on the tube wall.

[0020] 2. By using the set hanging rod and the support plate with ear plate, the bottom outlet of the three crystallization tubes can be blocked during crystallization, so that the liquid inside stops flowing temporarily, which is conducive to full crystallization. After crystallization for a period of time, when a large number of crystals are formed, water can be discharged again to quickly flush out the crystals.

[0021] 3. By using a permanent magnet and an electromagnet, when the electromagnet is supplied with current in different directions, it can form an attractive or repulsive force with the end of the permanent magnet, thereby forming a sealing or opening force on the hinged cover. Combined with the rotating screw rod, the large-diameter crystals left after filtration can be scraped off. Attached Figure Description

S2: Before starting the electric push rod to discharge the crystals, ensure that the electromagnet (8) is energized, that is, press the spiral rod (125) and the hinged cover (124) tightly against the end near the plug ring (123); at this time, under the action of the filter screen at the bottom of the potato chip-shaped partition (101), the large-diameter crystals are intercepted, and the remaining liquid and small crystals fall into the bottom support ring (132) below, and wait for the cycle to crystallize after heating; S3: When a large number of large-diameter grains have accumulated on the potato chip-shaped partition (101), the electromagnet (8) can be turned off and the drive motor can be started to scrape the required grains into the receiving tube (11).
