Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of production and processing equipment, and more particularly to a reaction kettle for producing an emulsion thickener. Background Art

[0002] Emulsion thickeners are used to increase the viscosity and stability of emulsions, making them thicker and smoother, enhancing the user experience. During the production process, a reactor is required to efficiently synthesize and mix the thickener components in the emulsion system, ultimately forming a thickener product with specific rheological properties.

[0003] Traditional reactors used to produce emulsion thickeners typically use a stirring mechanism to mix the materials. However, conventional rotary agitators can only generate shear force in a localized area, resulting in insufficient shear force and fluidity for the materials. This can lead to stratification within the reactor bottom, making it difficult to achieve uniform mixing. This, in turn, affects mixing uniformity and efficiency, impacting product quality.

[0032] Among them, the top of the hollow shaft 6 is fixedly connected to a circular plate 27, and a plurality of permanent magnets 28 are movably embedded in the top of the circular plate 27. A motor 31 is provided on the top of the reactor 1, and a rotating shaft 32 is provided at the bottom of the motor 31 through an output shaft. A plurality of electromagnets 33 are fixedly embedded at the bottom of the rotating shaft 32, and the first stirring blade 19 and the second stirring blade 25 inside the reactor 1 are indirectly driven to rotate by magnetism, thereby avoiding the opening of the outer surface of the reactor 1, reducing heat loss, and improving the utilization rate of heat energy.

The second mixing blades 25 can stir the material to make the material mixed evenly.

[0035] Among them, the first moving block 13, the second moving block 14, the first slider 16 and the second slider 22 are all made of neodymium iron boron, which is magnetic. The first moving block 13 and the first slider 16 attract each other, and the second moving block 14 and the second slider 22 attract each other. The first piston 11 and the second piston 12 are made of copper, which can shield the magnetic field, reduce the mutual interference between different magnetic fields, and improve the stability of the equipment operation. The partition 7 divides the inner cavity of the hollow shaft 6 into two parts, and the upper and lower parts of the inner cavity are connected through multiple through holes 8, so that the upper and lower inner cavities of the hollow shaft 6 are subjected to uniform pressure.

[0036] Among them, the side of the reactor 1 near the top is fixedly connected to the upper header 37, the outer surface of the upper header 37 is fixedly connected to the hot fluid outlet pipe 38, the bottom of the reactor 1 is fixedly connected to the lower header 35, the top of the lower header 35 is fixedly connected to multiple heat exchange tubes 36, and the bottom of the lower header 35 is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 34. The heat exchange tube 36 can heat the material to create the required temperature conditions for the production material. Multiple electromagnets 33 and multiple permanent magnets 28 attract each other. The circular plate 27 is made of copper, which can shield the magnetic field, reduce mutual interference between different magnetic fields, and improve the stability of the equipment operation. The support plate 30 can support the motor 31 to ensure the stable operation of the equipment. The connecting pipe 34 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the hot fluid inlet pipe 2, multiple heat exchange tubes 36 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the upper header 37, and multiple heat exchange tubes 36 are fixedly embedded in the inner wall of the reactor 1. The connecting pipe 34 can introduce the hot fluid into the lower header 35 for easy use.

[0037] By adopting the above technical solution, when using the reactor, the hot fluid is first introduced from the hot fluid introduction pipe 2, and then the hot fluid passes through the hot fluid introduction pipe 2, the connecting pipe 34, the lower header 35, the heat exchange pipe 36 and the upper header 37 in sequence, and finally is led out from the hot fluid outlet pipe 38. The hot fluid exchanges heat in the heat exchange pipe 36 to heat the inside of the reactor 1. Then, the raw materials are introduced into the inside of the reactor 1, and then the power supply of the electromagnet 33 is turned on to generate an electromagnetic field. Then, the motor 31 is started. The motor 31 drives the rotating shaft 32 to rotate through the output shaft, and the rotating shaft 32 drives the electromagnetic The iron 33 rotates the magnetic field formed by the electromagnet 33, and the magnetic field uses magnetism to cause the permanent magnet 28 to drive the circular plate 27 to rotate, and the circular plate 27 drives the hollow shaft 6 to rotate. Because the first slider 16 and the second slider 22 are movably embedded in the first chute 15 and the second chute 21 on the surface of the hollow shaft 6, when the hollow shaft 6 rotates, it will drive the first rotating block 17 and the second rotating block 23 to rotate synchronously. Then, the first rotating block 17 and the second rotating block 23 respectively drive the first stirring blade 19 and the second stirring blade 25 to rotate through the first fixed rod 18 and the second fixed rod 24, thereby stirring the raw materials. The first stirring blade 19 and the second stirring blade 25 inside the reactor 1 are indirectly driven to rotate by magnetism, avoiding the opening of the outer surface of the reactor 1, reducing heat loss, and improving the utilization rate of heat energy.

[0038] Close the pressure relief pipe 4, open the first pulse valve 3, and the hot fluid enters the internal cavity of the hollow shaft 6, and quickly diffuses to the middle position of the first piston 11 and the second piston 12 through the through hole 8 on the partition 7. Then, due to the continued entry of the hot fluid, the first piston 11 and the second piston 12 are subjected to force and move in opposite directions, and then the first piston 11 and the second piston 12 respectively pull the first spring 9 and the second spring 10, so that the first spring 9 and the second spring 10 obtain elastic potential energy, and because the first piston 11 and the second piston 12 move in opposite directions, the first moving block 13 and the second moving block 14 respectively drive the first slider 16 and the second slider 22 to move in opposite directions inside the first slide groove 15 and the second slide groove 21, and then the first rotating block 17 and the second rotating block 23 move in opposite directions, that is, the first rotating block 17 moves up and the second rotating block 23 moves down. When the first rotating block 17 moves upward, due to the restriction of the first connecting rod 20, the first stirring blade 19 can only swing in a downward arc with the first fixed rod 18 as the center. When the second rotating block 23 moves downward, due to the restriction of the second connecting rod 26, the second stirring blade 25 can only swing in an upward arc with the second fixed rod 24 as the center.

[0039] When the pressure relief pipe 4 is opened and the first pulse valve 3 is closed, the hot fluid inside the hollow shaft 6 is discharged from the pressure relief pipe 4, and the pressure of the hot fluid on the first piston 11 and the second piston 12 is reduced, and the first spring 9 and the second spring 10 release the elastic potential energy, causing the first piston 11 and the second piston 12 to move in opposite directions, and the first moving block 13 and the second moving block 14 indirectly drive the first rotating block 17 and the second rotating block 23 to move, that is, the first rotating block 17 moves down and the second rotating block 23 moves up. When the first rotating block 17 moves down, due to the limitation of the first connecting rod 20, the first stirring blade 19 can only swing in an upward arc with the first fixed rod 18 as the center of the circle. When the second rotating block 23 moves up, due to the limitation of the second connecting rod 26, the second stirring blade 25 can only swing in a downward arc with the second fixed rod 24 as the center of the circle. The first stirring blade 19 and the second stirring blade 25 are able to swing up and down during stirring, so that the materials are mixed more evenly.

[0040] Directions:

[0041] First, the raw materials are introduced into the interior of the reactor 1;

[0042] Then, the hot fluid is introduced from the hot fluid introduction pipe 2 and then led out from the hot fluid outlet pipe 38, so that the hot fluid exchanges heat in the heat exchange pipe 36 and heats the interior of the reactor 1;

[0043] Then, the motor 31 drives the electromagnet 33 to rotate, and drives the first stirring blade 19 and the second stirring blade 25 to rotate, so as to stir the raw materials;

[0044] At the same time, the circulation operation is carried out, the pressure relief pipe 4 is closed and the first pulse valve 3 is opened, and the pressure relief pipe 4 is opened and the first pulse valve 3 is closed, so that the first stirring blade 19 and the second stirring blade 25 swing up and down during stirring;

[0045] Finally, complete the full mixing and reaction of the materials.

[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention; however, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto.
