Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of kaolin preparation, in particular to a mixing device for preparing modified kaolin. Background Art

[0002] Modified kaolin is a specially treated non-metallic mineral material whose main components are aluminum oxide, silicon dioxide and water. Modified kaolin has good physical and chemical properties such as good plasticity, fire resistance and high whiteness. In the process of preparing modified kaolin, it is necessary to add calcined kaolin powder into the reactor, add deionized water and stir evenly, then add intercalation agent, and then heat and stir in a water bath to react.

[0003] When kaolin powder is stirred and mixed with deionized water in a conventional reactor, the kaolin powder easily adheres to the inner wall of the reactor, making it difficult to effectively clean it. If too much deionized water is added, the concentration of the intercalant is reduced, affecting the intercalation effect. At the same time, when performing the intercalation reaction, the temperature in the reactor needs to be precisely controlled to heat up and cool down. However, after the conventional reactor is heated up, it is difficult to quickly and accurately cool down to the optimal temperature for the intercalation reaction because it is covered with an insulation layer on the outside, which affects the efficiency of the intercalation reaction. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problems solved by this solution are:

[0005] (1) How to solve the problem that kaolin powder easily adheres to the inner wall of the reactor, making it difficult to clean effectively, and adding too much deionized water reduces the concentration of the intercalation agent, affecting the intercalation effect;

[0006] (2) How to solve the problem that the existing reactor cannot be quickly and accurately cooled to the optimal temperature for the intercalation reaction after heating, which affects the efficiency of the intercalation reaction.

[0007] The object of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solution: A mixing device for preparing modified kaolin, comprising a reactor, a heat-insulating shell fixedly provided on the outside of the reactor, a temperature control mechanism for keeping the reactor warm provided on the side of the heat-insulating shell, a feed hopper fixedly inserted on the top of the reactor, a first control valve fixedly installed in the middle of the feed hopper, and a cleaning mechanism for cleaning kaolin powder on the inner wall of the reactor provided inside the reactor;

[0008] The temperature control mechanism includes a water storage box fixedly connected to the insulation shell, a water pump is fixedly provided on the front of the water storage box, the input end of the water pump is connected to the bottom of the water storage box, and the output end of the water pump is connected to a drain pipe.

[0009] A further technical improvement of the present invention lies in that: a heat conduction pipe is sleeved at the bottom of the outer wall of the reaction kettle, the heat conduction pipe is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heat preservation shell, and the input end of the heat conduction pipe is communicated with the output end of the drain pipe. A water return pipe is communicated with the top of the back surface of the water storage box, and the input end of the water return pipe is communicated with the output end of the heat conduction pipe.

[0010] A further technical improvement of the present invention lies in that: a rotary cylinder is fixedly installed at the top of the heat preservation shell, the output end of the rotary cylinder is fixedly installed with an L-shaped rod, one end of the L-shaped rod is fixedly installed with an electric heating block, the electric heating block is located in the water storage box, and a groove is formed on the side surface of the electric heating block. The size and position of the groove correspond to those of the feed hopper; by driving the L-shaped rod to rotate reversely through the rotary cylinder, the electric heating block is immersed below the liquid level of the clear water in the water storage box, and the clear water in the water storage box is heated to a set temperature. After stirring is completed, several electric heating plates are controlled to heat the reaction kettle. When the temperature exceeds the threshold value, the electric heating plates are timely turned off, and then the water pump is turned on, so that the warm water at the set temperature in the water storage box enters the heat conduction pipe along the drain pipe, and then flows back to the water storage box through the water return pipe. The warm water flowing in the heat conduction pipe not only quickly absorbs the excess heat in the reaction kettle, but also insulates the subsequent reaction kettle. This process quickly and accurately cools down to the optimal temperature for the intercalation reaction, avoiding affecting the efficiency of the intercalation reaction.

[0011] A further technical improvement of the present invention lies in that: the cleaning mechanism includes a guide frame fixedly connected to the inner wall of the reaction kettle, a square rod is movably inserted on the guide frame, the square rod is horizontally arranged, one end of the square rod movably penetrates through the reaction kettle, and a roller is rotatably arranged. The roller is in rolling connection with the middle part of the L-shaped rod.

[0012] A further technical improvement of the present invention lies in that: a water storage tank is fixedly installed at the top of the inner wall of the reaction kettle, an opening is formed at the top of the water storage tank, and a water inlet pipe is communicated with the top of the reaction kettle. The position of the output end of the water inlet pipe corresponds to the position of the opening.

[0013] A further technical improvement of the present invention lies in that: a baffle is fixedly installed at the end of the square rod away from the roller, a tension spring is fixedly connected between the baffle and the guide frame, a push-pull rod is fixedly connected to the side surface of the baffle facing the water storage tank, and a piston is fixedly installed at one end of the push-pull rod.

[0014] A further technical improvement of the present invention lies in that: a water outlet pipe is fixedly communicated with the bottom of the side surface of the water storage tank, the diameter of the piston is the same as the inner diameter of the water outlet pipe, and the position of the piston corresponds to the position of the water outlet pipe; by controlling the rotation of the rotary cylinder to drive the L-shaped rod to rotate forward, the groove formed on the side surface of the electric heating block is fitted with the outer wall of the feed hopper, and the electric heating block is turned on to heat the feed hopper, thereby preheating the kaolin powder therein, facilitating the removal of the moisture and impurities adsorbed on its surface, and thus improving the activity of the intercalation reaction; during the process of several stirring paddles stirring the kaolin powder mixed with deionized water, the reverse rotation of the L-shaped rod will provide a thrust to the roller, causing the push-pull rod to drive the piston to extend into the water storage tank, facilitating the deionized water in the water storage tank to flow along the water outlet pipe into the disc. At this time, the stirring shaft is in a rotating state, so that the clear water in the disc is evenly splashed around due to the action of centrifugal force, facilitating the deionized water to flow down along the inner wall of the reaction kettle, not only effectively cleaning the kaolin powder, but also avoiding adding too much deionized water, reducing the concentration of the intercalating agent, and ensuring the effect of intercalation.

[0015] A further technical improvement of the present invention lies in that: a stirring shaft is rotatably arranged inside the reaction kettle, the stirring shaft is longitudinally arranged, and a disc is fixedly installed in the middle and upper part of the stirring shaft. The position of the disc is below the output end of the water outlet pipe, and several stirring paddles are fixedly installed in the middle and lower part of the stirring shaft.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0017] When the present invention is in use, by controlling the rotation of the rotary cylinder to drive the L-shaped rod to rotate forward, the groove formed on the side surface of the electric heating block is fitted with the outer wall of the feed hopper, and the electric heating block is turned on to heat the feed hopper, thereby preheating the kaolin powder therein, facilitating the removal of the moisture and impurities adsorbed on its surface, and thus improving the activity of the intercalation reaction; during the process of several stirring paddles stirring the kaolin powder mixed with deionized water, the reverse rotation of the L-shaped rod will provide a thrust to the roller, causing the push-pull rod to drive the piston to extend into the water storage tank, facilitating the deionized water in the water storage tank to flow along the water outlet pipe into the disc. At this time, the stirring shaft is in a rotating state, so that the clear water in the disc is evenly splashed around due to the action of centrifugal force, facilitating the deionized water to flow down along the inner wall of the reaction kettle, not only effectively cleaning the kaolin powder, but also avoiding adding too much deionized water, reducing the concentration of the intercalating agent, and ensuring the effect of intercalation.

[0018] When the present invention is in use, the rotary cylinder drives the L-shaped rod to rotate in the reverse direction, so that the electric heating block is immersed below the liquid level of the clear water in the water storage box, heating the clear water in the water storage box to the set temperature. After the stirring is completed, several electric heating plates are controlled to heat the reaction kettle. When the temperature exceeds the threshold value, the electric heating plates are promptly turned off, and then the water pump is turned on, so that the warm water at the set temperature in the water storage box enters the heat conduction tube along the drain pipe, and then flows back into the water storage box through the return pipe. The warm water flowing through the heat conduction tube not only quickly absorbs the excess heat in the reaction kettle, but also keeps the subsequent reaction kettle warm. This process quickly and accurately cools down to the optimal temperature for the intercalation reaction, avoiding affecting the efficiency of the intercalation reaction.

All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-6 As shown, a mixing device for preparing modified kaolin includes a reaction kettle 7. A heat preservation shell 5 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the reaction kettle 7. A temperature control mechanism 3 for heat preservation of the reaction kettle 7 is arranged on the side of the heat preservation shell 5. A feed hopper 1 is fixedly inserted at the top of the reaction kettle 7. A first control valve 2 is fixedly installed in the middle of the feed hopper 1. A cleaning mechanism 9 for cleaning kaolin powder on the inner wall of the reaction kettle 7 is arranged inside the reaction kettle 7.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a heat conduction pipe 13 is sleeved on the bottom of the outer wall of the reaction kettle 7. The heat conduction pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heat preservation shell 5, and the input end of the heat conduction pipe 13 is communicated with the output end of the water outlet pipe 306. A return water pipe 307 is communicated with the top of the back of the water storage box 304. The input end of the return water pipe 307 is communicated with the output end of the heat conduction pipe 13.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown in the figure, a rotary cylinder 301 is fixedly installed at the top of the above-mentioned heat preservation shell 5. The output end of the rotary cylinder 301 is fixedly installed with an L-shaped rod 302. One end of the L-shaped rod 302 is fixedly installed with an electric heating block 303. The electric heating block 303 is located in the water storage box 304, and a groove is formed on the side surface of the electric heating block 303. The size and position of the groove correspond to the feeding hopper 1. By driving the L-shaped rod 302 to rotate in the reverse direction by the rotary cylinder 301, the electric heating block 303 is immersed below the liquid level of the clear water in the water storage box 304, and the clear water in the water storage box 304 is heated to a set temperature. After the stirring is completed, a plurality of electric heating plates 14 are controlled to heat the reaction kettle 7. When the temperature exceeds the threshold value, the electric heating plates 14 are timely turned off, and then the water pump 305 is turned on, so that the warm water reaching the set temperature in the water storage box 304 enters the heat conduction tube 13 along the water outlet pipe 306, and then flows back into the water storage box 304 through the water return pipe 307. The warm water flowing through the heat conduction tube 13 not only quickly absorbs the excess heat in the reaction kettle 7, but also insulates the subsequent reaction kettle 7. This process quickly and accurately cools down to the optimal temperature for the intercalation reaction, avoiding affecting the efficiency of the intercalation reaction.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the above-mentioned cleaning mechanism 9 includes a guide frame 909 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the reaction kettle 7. A square rod 907 is movably inserted on the guide frame 909. The square rod 907 is horizontally arranged, and one end of the square rod 907 movably penetrates through the reaction kettle 7, and a roller 908 is rotatably arranged. The roller 908 is in rolling connection with the middle part of the L-shaped rod 302.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 5 As shown in the figure, a water storage tank 905 is fixedly installed at the top of the inner wall of the above-mentioned reaction kettle 7. An opening 906 is formed at the top of the water storage tank 905. The top of the reaction kettle 7 is communicated with a water inlet pipe 8. The output end position of the water inlet pipe 8 corresponds to the position of the opening 906.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in the figure, a baffle 910 is fixedly installed at one end of the square rod 907 away from the roller 908. A tension spring is fixedly connected between the baffle 910 and the guide frame 909. A push-pull rod 902 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the baffle 910 facing the water storage tank 905. One end of the push-pull rod 902 is fixedly installed with a piston 904.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a drain pipe 901 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the side surface of the above-mentioned water storage tank 905. The diameter of the piston 904 is the same as the inner diameter of the drain pipe 901, and the position of the piston 904 corresponds to the position of the drain pipe 901. By controlling the rotation of the rotary cylinder 301 to drive the L-shaped rod 302 to rotate forward, the groove formed on the side surface of the electric heating block 303 is fitted to the outer wall of the feed hopper 1. The electric heating block 303 is turned on to heat the feed hopper 1, thereby preheating the kaolin powder therein, facilitating the removal of the adsorbed moisture and impurities on its surface, and thus improving the activity of the intercalation reaction. During the process of several stirring paddles stirring the kaolin powder mixed with deionized water, the L-shaped rod 302 rotates in the reverse direction to provide a thrust to the roller 908, so that the push-pull rod 902 drives the piston 904 to extend into the water storage tank 905, facilitating the deionized water in the water storage tank 905 to flow along the drain pipe 901 into the disc 903. At this time, the stirring shaft 10 is in a rotating state, so that the clear water in the disc 903 is evenly splashed around due to the action of centrifugal force, facilitating the deionized water to flow down along the inner wall of the reaction kettle 7, not only effectively cleaning the kaolin powder, but also avoiding adding too much deionized water, reducing the concentration of the intercalating agent, and ensuring the effect of intercalation.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, a stirring shaft 10 is rotatably arranged inside the above-mentioned reaction kettle 7. The stirring shaft 10 is longitudinally arranged, and a disc 903 is fixedly installed in the middle and upper part of the stirring shaft 10. The position of the disc 903 is below the output end of the drain pipe 901, and several stirring paddles are fixedly installed in the middle and lower part of the stirring shaft 10.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, a driving motor 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the above-mentioned heat preservation shell 5. A blanking pipe 11 is arranged on one side of the driving motor 12. The input end of the blanking pipe 11 is communicated with the reaction kettle 7, and a second control valve is fixedly installed in the middle of the blanking pipe 11. The bottom end of the stirring shaft 10 movably penetrates through the reaction kettle 7 and is fixedly connected to the output end of the driving motor 12.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, several electric heating plates 14 are equidistantly embedded on the inner wall of the above-mentioned heat preservation shell 5, and the electric heating plates 14 are in contact with the reaction kettle 7.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a thermometer 6 for monitoring the internal temperature is fixedly inserted at the top of the side surface of the above-mentioned reaction kettle 7.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, a control panel 4 is fixedly arranged on the front surface of the above-mentioned heat preservation shell 5.

[0041] Working principle: When the present invention is in use, first, as shown in Figure 2 andFigure 3 As shown, after closing the first control valve 2, sufficient kaolin powder is put into the feed hopper 1, and then the rotary cylinder 301 is controlled to drive the L-shaped rod 302 to rotate forward, so that the groove formed on the side of the electric heating block 303 fits against the outer wall of the feed hopper 1. The electric heating block 303 is turned on to heat the feed hopper 1, thereby preheating the kaolin powder therein, facilitating the removal of adsorbed moisture and impurities on its surface, and thus improving the activity of the intercalation reaction. As Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, while opening the first control valve 2, deionized water is injected into the reaction kettle 7 through the water inlet pipe 8. The deionized water will enter the water storage tank 905 through the opening 906. Due to the action of the tension spring, the piston 904 is located in the drain pipe 901, blocking the drain pipe 901, filling the water storage tank 905 with deionized water. The excess deionized water overflows from the opening 906 and contacts the kaolin powder entering the reaction kettle 7. The drive motor 12 is turned on, and a plurality of stirring paddles are driven to rotate by the stirring shaft 10. In cooperation with the intercalating agent, the kaolin powder mixed with deionized water is stirred. As Figures 2-4 shown, the rotary cylinder 301 is driven to drive the L-shaped rod 302 to rotate in the reverse direction, so that the electric heating block 303 is immersed below the liquid level of the clear water in the water storage box 304, heating the clear water in the water storage box 304 to the set temperature. After the stirring is completed, a plurality of electric heating plates 14 are controlled to heat the reaction kettle 7. When the temperature exceeds the threshold value, the electric heating plates 14 are promptly turned off, and then the water pump 305 is turned on, so that the warm water at the set temperature in the water storage box 304 enters the heat conduction pipe 13 along the water outlet pipe 306, and then flows back into the water storage box 304 through the water return pipe 307. The warm water flowing through the heat conduction pipe 13 not only quickly absorbs the excess heat in the reaction kettle 7, but also keeps the subsequent reaction kettle 7 warm. This process quickly and accurately cools down to the optimal temperature of the intercalation reaction, avoiding affecting the efficiency of the intercalation reaction. As Figure 3 and Figure 5 shown, during the process of a plurality of stirring paddles stirring the kaolin powder mixed with deionized water, the reverse rotation of the L-shaped rod 302 will provide a thrust to the roller 908, so that the push-pull rod 902 drives the piston 904 to extend into the water storage tank 905, facilitating the deionized water in the water storage tank 905 to flow along the drain pipe 901 into the disc 903. At this time, the stirring shaft 10 is in a rotating state, so that the clear water in the disc 903 is evenly splashed towards the surroundings due to the centrifugal force, facilitating the deionized water to flow down along the inner wall of the reaction kettle 7, not only effectively cleaning the kaolin powder, but also avoiding adding too much deionized water and reducing the concentration of the intercalating agent, ensuring the effect of intercalation.

[0042] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not impose any form of limitation on the present invention. Although the present invention has been disclosed above in the preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments by using the above-disclosed technical content within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
