Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a raw material processing and process intensification equipment and method, and more particularly to a continuous acoustic intensification system and method. Background Technology
[0002] An acoustic enhancement system and method, publication number: CN117772584B, has been verified in multiple fields and scaled up for production.
[0003] Based on acoustic enhancement systems and methods, publication number: CN117772584B, the currently developed equipment has a maximum volume of 200L, which is still insufficient for some mass-produced materials.
[0004] Because liquid materials are difficult to compress, there are problems such as insufficient stability of acoustic flow motion and large fluctuations in vibration process parameters when scaling up the production of liquid materials, which limits the scale-up production and application scope of liquid materials.
[0005] As the container volume increases, the heat dissipation area per unit volume of material decreases, thermal resistance increases rapidly, and heat becomes difficult to dissipate. Due to the thermal effect, small-batch pilot production processes are difficult to scale up directly, limiting large-scale production and applicability. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a continuous acoustic enhancement system and method. By setting material inlets and outlets on a container, continuous material flow is achieved. By matching appropriate container volume, inlet / outlet diameters, and positions, the acoustic enhancement effect of continuous material flow is ensured. Continuous processing of liquid materials improves acoustic flow stability, enhances the acoustic enhancement effect, and meets the needs of large-scale production.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0008] A continuous acoustic enhancement system includes: bottle A; a pump assembly; an enhancement unit assembly; a mechanical resonator; and bottle B.
[0009] Bottle A and Bottle B are containers with multiple pipe interfaces; Bottle A and Bottle B are used to hold materials, such as Bottle A for holding materials before processing and Bottle B for holding materials after processing; the interfaces are used to connect pipes for the inlet and outlet of the container contents.
[0010] The pump set consists of pipes, pumps, and valves. The pipes connect bottle A, the enhanced unit group, and bottle B in sequence, pumping the contents of bottle A / B from bottle A / B through the enhanced unit group to bottle B / A. The pump is used to drive the material into the enhanced unit group, and the valves are used to control the flow rate and direction.
[0011] The enhanced unit group consists of at least one container with an inlet and an outlet, serving as the acoustic flow enhancement zone. The container volume ranges from 0.01L to 50L, with matching inlet and outlet diameters of 0.3mm to 30mm. This ensures that the impact of material entering and exiting the container on the first-order acoustic flow pattern is negligible, maximizing the consistency of the processing effect with a single-pot process (without inlet and outlet containers of the same specifications). Simultaneously, the smaller container volume effectively avoids the problem of insufficient heat dissipation and excessively high material temperatures. The enhanced unit group can consist of a single container, or, to further increase processing capacity, multiple containers can be configured, connected in series and / or parallel via pipes, and fixedly connected to the mechanical resonator.
[0012] The mechanical resonator is a multi-mass vibration system. Together with the reinforcing unit group, it forms a mechanical resonance system, enabling the reinforcing unit group to generate mechanical resonance within a frequency range of 40Hz-80Hz and an amplitude range of 2mm-20mm. The system adaptively adjusts the frequency in real time to maintain resonance, thus counteracting fluctuations and interference generated when materials enter / leave the reinforcing unit group. Vibrations within this parameter range provide highly efficient acoustic flow enhancement for continuously entering materials in the container.
[0013] To further optimize this technical solution, the pump set includes a gas supply pipe, which can pump gas into the enhancement unit group; the gas comes from cylinder A / Cylinder B, an external gas cylinder, or the atmosphere. For liquids that are not easily volatile or are insoluble in gas, gas needs to be added to adjust the compressibility of the material, thereby improving the acoustic enhancement effect.
[0014] To further optimize this technical solution, the pump unit also has a bidirectional pumping function, pumping the contents of bottle A from bottle A through the strengthening unit group to bottle B, or pumping the contents of bottle B from bottle B through the strengthening unit group to bottle A. For difficult-to-process materials, multiple cycles are required to increase the processing time of the material in the strengthening unit group to ensure the processing effect.
[0015] To further optimize this technical solution, the bidirectional pumping function of the pump set can be achieved in the following way: the pump in the pump set pumps gas from bottle A into bottle B, or pumps gas from bottle B into bottle A. By changing the gas pressure in bottle A and / or bottle B, the material is pumped from bottle B to bottle A, or from bottle A to bottle B, using pressure. The material circulation process does not enter the valves and pumps, preventing blockage and improving reliability.
[0016] To further optimize this technical solution, the reinforcing unit group includes a container with its inlet and outlet located in the middle of the container's side wall. This central location reduces the impact of pressure fluctuations at the bottom and top of the container, preventing blockage at the inlet and outlet. Filters with a pore size of 0.01-10mm are installed at the inlet and outlet. The container is filled with grinding beads with a size of 0.02mm-20mm and a volumetric filling rate of 1%-100%. The use of grinding beads enhances the friction and impact strength of the material, increases shear force, and further strengthens the treatment effect.
[0017] To further optimize this technical solution, the A bottle and / or B bottle are filled with grinding beads, the size of which is 0.01-10mm and the volume filling rate is less than 50%. The use of grinding beads can enhance the friction and collision strength of the material, increase the shear force, and further enhance the treatment effect.
[0018] To further optimize this technical solution, bottle A and / or bottle B contain a stirring device; the stirring device is a paddle stirrer, a magnetic stirrer, or a gas bubbling stirrer; stirring can prevent the solid components or grinding beads from precipitating in the liquid components.
[0019] To further optimize this technical solution, the container included in the enhanced unit group contains microchannels with a channel diameter of 0.1mm-20mm for the passage of materials or heat exchange media. For materials with strong heat generation or extremely low temperature tolerance requirements, the heat dissipation surface area can be increased by setting microchannels, thereby improving the heat dissipation power.
[0020] To further optimize this technical solution, the continuous acoustic enhancement system further includes:
[0021] Pressure control system and / or temperature control system;
[0022] Raw material storage bottles and / or finished product storage bottles;
[0023] The raw material storage bottle has a larger volume than bottle A / B, storing more raw materials. Before the enhanced treatment, the raw materials can be pumped from the raw material storage bottle to bottle A / B through a pipeline.
[0024] The finished product storage bottle has a larger volume than bottle A / B, and can store more finished product. After the intensification treatment, the finished product in bottle A / B can be pumped to the finished product storage bottle through a pipeline.
[0025] The pressure control system is connected to the A bottle, B bottle, pump group, and enhancement unit group through pipelines, and can adjust the internal pressure to keep the absolute pressure of the internal cavity between 10Pa and 1MPa; by controlling the pressure, the acoustic enhancement effect of different materials can be optimized.
[0026] The temperature control system can control the temperature of the internal circulating material, with a temperature control range of -30℃ to 300℃, which meets the temperature tolerance range of the material. At the same time, temperature control can reduce the impact of temperature on internal pressure.

[0051] a.

[0084] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0085] Example 1:
[0086] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, a continuous acoustic enhancement system includes: a bottle A 1; a pump assembly 2; an enhancement unit assembly 3; a mechanical resonator 4; and a bottle B 5.
[0087] Bottles A1 and B5 are containers with multiple pipe interfaces. They can be made of stainless steel or, for easier observation, glass. Bottles A1 and B5 are used to hold materials; for example, bottle A1 can hold materials before processing, and bottle B5 can hold materials after processing, or vice versa. The interfaces are used to connect pipes for the inlet and outlet of the container contents. Pyramid-type connectors, compression fittings, or quick-connect fittings can be selected. Quick-connect fittings can be used for ease of operation. The connectors can be located on the container lid, side wall, or bottom surface.
[0088] Pump unit 2 consists of pipes, pumps, and valves. Pipes connect bottle A1, reinforcement unit 3, and bottle B5 sequentially. Reinforcement unit 3 vibrates violently, so the connection to it requires flexible tubing, such as PU or PTFE material. Pump unit 2 pumps the contents of bottle A1 / or bottle B5 from bottle A1 / B5 through reinforcement unit 3 to bottle B5 / A1. The pump drives the material into reinforcement unit 3 and can be a peristaltic pump, diaphragm pump, or gear pump. The valves control the flow rate and direction and can be ball valves, diaphragm valves, or pinch valves.
[0089] The enhanced unit group 3 consists of at least one container with an inlet and an outlet, serving as the acoustic flow enhancement zone. The container volume ranges from 0.01L to 50L, with matching inlet and outlet diameters of 0.3mm to 30mm. This ensures that the impact of material entering and exiting the container on the first-order acoustic flow pattern is negligible, maximizing the consistency of the treatment effect with a single-pot process (without inlet and outlet containers of the same specifications). Simultaneously, the smaller container volume effectively avoids the problem of insufficient heat dissipation and excessively high material temperatures.
[0090] The reinforcement unit group 3 can be a single container, or multiple containers can be set up to further improve the processing capacity. These containers are composed of pipes connected in series and / or in parallel and are fixedly connected to the mechanical resonator 4.
[0091] The mechanical resonator 4 is a multi-mass vibration system. The mechanical resonator 4 and the reinforcing unit group 3 constitute a mechanical resonance system, enabling the reinforcing unit group 3 to generate mechanical resonance within a frequency range of 40Hz-80Hz and an amplitude range of 2mm-20mm. The frequency is adaptively adjusted in real time to maintain the resonance state, thus counteracting fluctuations and interference caused by materials entering / leaving the reinforcing unit group 3. Vibration within this parameter range provides highly efficient acoustic flow enhancement for continuously entering materials. The Hummingbird Acoustic Mixer series from Huasheng Reinforcement (Shanghai) Technology Co., Ltd. can be used as the mechanical resonator. This equipment can adjust the frequency in real time to maintain the system in a resonant state, eliminating fluctuations and interference caused by materials entering and / or leaving the reinforcing unit group 3. When selecting any HAM machine, the container volume and number of reinforcing unit groups 3 should be set to meet the total weight requirements of that HAM machine.
[0092] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the pump group 2 includes a pump 2-1 and a gas filling pipe 2-2. Gas can be pumped into the enhancement unit group 3 by self-priming, or it can be pumped by a gas pump or forced in by pressure. The gas comes from cylinder A 1 / cylinder B 5, an external gas cylinder, or the atmosphere. For liquids that are not easily volatile or are insoluble in gas, gas needs to be added to adjust the compressibility of the material to improve the acoustic enhancement effect. A valve can be installed on the gas filling pipe 2-2 or the gas filling amount can be adjusted by adjusting the pipe diameter.
[0093] The pump group 2 includes pump 2-1, which has a bidirectional pumping function. For example, a peristaltic pump or gear pump with forward and reverse rotation can be selected. Pump 2-1 can pump the contents of bottle A 1 from bottle A 1 through the strengthening unit group 3 to bottle B 5, and can also pump the contents of bottle B 5 from bottle B 5 through the strengthening unit group 3 to bottle A 1. For difficult-to-process materials, multiple cycles are required to increase the processing time of the material in the strengthening unit group 3 in order to ensure the processing effect.
[0094] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the reinforcing unit group 3 includes multiple containers connected in series and fixed on the mechanical resonator 4. The inlet and outlet of each container are located in the middle of the container sidewall. The middle position can reduce the influence of pressure fluctuation zones at the bottom and top of the container and prevent blockage of the inlet and outlet.
[0095] For ease of manufacturing and spatial arrangement, the cylindrical container can be placed horizontally, with the inlet and outlet located on the end caps of the cylinder. Filters are installed at the inlet and outlet, and the filter material can be stainless steel or ceramic materials such as silicon nitride or zirconium oxide. The filter pore size is 0.01-10mm. The container is filled with abrasive beads, such as zirconium oxide balls, with a bead size of 0.02mm-20mm and a volumetric filling rate of 1%-100%. The use of abrasive beads can enhance the friction and impact strength of the material, increase shear force, and further enhance the treatment effect.
[0096] Bottle A 1 and / or Bottle B 5 are filled with grinding beads, such as zirconia balls, with a size of 0.01-10 mm and a volume filling rate of less than 50%. The use of grinding beads can enhance the friction and collision strength of the material, increase shear force, and further enhance the treatment effect.
[0097] Bottle A 1 and / or bottle B 5 contain a stirring device 6; the stirring device 6 is a paddle stirring, magnetic stirring, or gas bubbling stirring.
[0098] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, gas bubbling is used to stir the liquid, and gas is pumped to the bottom of the liquid for stirring; stirring can prevent solid components or grinding beads from precipitating in the liquid.
[0099] To further optimize this technical solution, the container included in the enhanced unit group contains microchannels with a channel diameter of 0.1mm-20mm for the passage of materials or heat exchange media. For materials with strong heat generation or extremely low temperature tolerance requirements, the heat dissipation surface area can be increased by setting microchannels, thereby improving the heat dissipation power.
[0100] like Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, bottle A1, bottle B5, and reinforced unit group 3 all have the ability to withstand both positive and negative pressure, and the material handling system is a closed system. Pump group 2 includes pump 2-1, gas filling pipe 2-2, and gas control valve 2-3. By controlling the opening and closing of the four gas control valves 2-3, pump 2-1 can pump gas from bottle A1 into bottle B5, and vice versa. Pressure is used to pump material from bottle B5 to bottle A1, or vice versa. The stirring device 6 uses a gas bubbling method to compress the air at the top of bottle A1 and / or bottle B5 and send it to the bottom of the bottle to form bubbles, preventing material sedimentation. Throughout the entire material circulation process, material does not enter the valves and pumps, preventing blockages and improving reliability.
[0101] Example 2:
[0102] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, to further optimize the present technical solution, the continuous acoustic enhancement system further includes:
[0103] Pressure control system 8 and / or temperature control system 7;
[0104] Raw material storage bottle 9-1 and / or finished product storage bottle 10-1;
[0105] The raw material storage bottle 9-1 has a larger volume than bottle A1 / bottle B5, and can store more raw materials. Before the enhanced treatment, the raw materials can be pumped from the raw material storage bottle 9-1 to bottle A1 / bottle B5 through the pipeline. After the pumping is completed, the feeding valve 9-2 can be closed to ensure the system's airtightness. Of course, the process of pumping the raw materials from the raw material storage bottle 9-1 to bottle A1 / bottle B5 can also be carried out by the gas transfer pressure generation method used in embodiment four.
[0106] The finished product storage bottle 10-1 has a larger volume than bottle A1 / bottle B5, and can store more finished product material. After the intensification treatment, the finished product material in bottle A1 / bottle B5 can be pumped to the finished product storage bottle 10-1 through the pipeline. After the pumping is completed, the discharge valve 10-2 can be closed to ensure the system's sealing. Of course, the process of pumping the finished product material from bottle A1 / bottle B5 to the finished product storage bottle 10-1 can also be carried out by the gas transfer pressure generation method used in embodiment four.
[0107] The pressure control system 8 is connected to bottle A 1, bottle B 5, pump group 2, and enhancement unit group 3 via pipelines, and can adjust the internal pressure to keep the absolute pressure of the internal cavity between 10 Pa and 1 MPa. Positive pressure control can be achieved by using a gas compressor or negative pressure control by using a vacuum pump, and it only needs to be connected to one of bottle A 1, bottle B 5, pump group 2, or enhancement unit group 3 via pipelines. By controlling the pressure, the acoustic enhancement effect of different materials can be optimized.
[0108] The temperature control system 7 can control the temperature of the internal circulating material within a range of -30℃ to 300℃, meeting the material's tolerance temperature range. Simultaneously, temperature control reduces the impact of temperature on internal pressure. Heat exchange jackets can be installed on bottles A1 and B5, or cold tanks can be installed on the conveying pipeline, employing an integrated heating and cooling system to exchange heat with the material and achieve temperature control.
[0109] Example 3:
[0110] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, a continuous acoustic enhancement method implements the following steps based on a continuous acoustic enhancement system:
[0111] a. Place the material to be processed in bottle A1.
[0112] b. Activate the mechanical resonator 4 to put the mechanical resonance system consisting of the reinforcing unit group 3 and the mechanical resonator 4 into a resonance state, generating vibrations with a frequency range of 40Hz-80Hz and an amplitude of 2mm-20mm. Adjust the frequency in real time to keep the system in a resonance state to counteract the fluctuations and interferences generated when materials enter / leave the reinforcing unit group 3.
[0113] c. Turn on the pump unit to pump the material through the intensification unit to bottle B; allow the material to continuously enter the acoustic flow intensification area for continuous acoustic flow intensification treatment, and collect it in bottle B after completion.
