Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of molecular distillation, and more particularly to a molecular distillation apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] A molecular still is a highly efficient device that uses the difference in molecular free path to achieve liquid-liquid separation. Its core principle is to heat the material to form a liquid film, and after the light molecules evaporate, they gather and separate at the condenser plate. A traditional molecular still typically includes a cylinder, heating components, a condenser plate, and a scraping mechanism. The scraper of the scraping mechanism is driven to rotate by a rotating shaft, which uniformly scrapes the material into a thin layer to accelerate evaporation. Most existing molecular stills use scrapers of fixed height, and the liquid film is scraped by a single rotational motion. Its structure mainly consists of a drive motor, a fixed rotating shaft, and a rigid scraper, forming a circular scraping trajectory inside the cylinder, which is suitable for the separation of conventional materials.

[0003] Traditional molecular distillation apparatuses typically employ a fixed-height scraper structure, which can only achieve a single rotational motion driven by a shaft. In practical applications, this has revealed its shortcomings. The fixed-height scraper cannot dynamically adjust its scraping position. When the material evaporates due to heating, causing the liquid level to drop, the fixed scraper struggles to maintain a stable liquid film thickness. This is especially problematic in the later stages of batch distillation when the material quantity decreases, easily leading to either the scraper scraping without material or an excessively thick liquid film. The scraping trajectory of the single rotational motion is limited to the annular area in the middle of the cylinder, creating scraping blind spots at the top and bottom of the cylinder. This results in localized overheating and decomposition of the material in these areas due to the inability to promptly renew the liquid film.

[0004] The innovation of this invention patent lies in providing a scraper mechanism that can move up and down and rotate. Through mechanical structural innovation, it achieves multi-directional coverage of the scraping range and realizes three-dimensional scraping by the scraper. Compared with the traditional fixed scraper, the uniformity of the liquid film can be significantly improved, thus enhancing flexibility and uniformity of the liquid film. Summary of the Invention

[0005] 1. Technical problems to be solved

[0006] The purpose of this application is to provide a molecular distillation apparatus to solve the problem of uneven liquid film caused by rotating a scraper in a fixed position.

An arc-shaped retaining plate 214 is engaged in the sealing groove 216. The arc-shaped retaining plate 214 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sealing cover 217. A sealing ring 215 is provided between the arc-shaped retaining plate 214 and the sealing groove 216. The sealing cover 217... Two sets of slots 210 are provided at the bottom, and the slots 210 are T-shaped. Two sets of elastic plates 212 are engaged in each of the two sets of slots 210.

Through the threaded connection between the threaded cylinder 307 and the screw 308, and the pin linkage structure between the movable plate 304 and the movable rod 305, the scraper body 310 is driven to rotate and reciprocate along the axial direction, forming a composite motion trajectory of rotation and lifting. The scraper can cover different height areas of the cylinder 1, eliminating blind spots at the top and bottom and improving the separation efficiency of multi-component materials. Through the cooperation of the movable frame plate 201, the lead screw 206 and the pressure plate 205, combined with the sealing structure of the arc-shaped clamping plate 214, the sealing ring 215 and the sealing groove 216, a reliable vacuum seal is achieved between the cap and the cylinder 1, effectively reducing the leakage rate and preventing the vacuum degree from dropping during distillation. At the same time, the quick-release structure of the four sets of movable frame plates 201 can shorten the disassembly and assembly time of the cap assembly 2 and improve the convenience of maintenance. The cooling plate 213 supported by the elastic sheet 212 and the spring 211, with the T-shaped groove 210, can form a snap-fit ​​structure through the elastic sheet 212 and the spring 211, which facilitates the installation and removal of the cooling plate 213.The combination of pipe body 208 and sealing cylinder 207 enables the circulation of cooling medium, while the sealing plug 209 blocks both pipe bodies 208 to prevent leakage.

The two sets of conduits 6 are heavy phase discharge pipes and light phase discharge pipes, respectively. The surface of the cylinder 1 is provided with a connecting pipe 8 near the bottom. The connecting pipe 8 is connected to a conveying pipe 10 through a flange 9. The deep center and shallow edge structure of the guide groove 311 can guide the liquid film to flow along the trajectory, prolonging the residence time of the liquid film in the evaporation zone. The top light phase discharge pipe, in conjunction with the butterfly valve, can quickly collect low-boiling-point components.

[0045] Example 4: A molecular distillation apparatus, referring to Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 3 The two sets of support mechanisms 4 include two sets of fixing blocks 401. One side of each set of fixing blocks 401 is movably connected to a connecting rod 402 via a pin. The other end of each set of connecting rods 402 is fixedly connected to a base plate 403. The top of each set of base plates 403 is provided with a stud 404. The heating assembly 5 includes a heating pot body 501 and a heating wire 502. The heating pot body 501 is disposed on the surface of the cylinder 1. The heating wire 502 is disposed inside the heating pot body 501. The surface of the mounting ring 11 is provided with four sets of clip frames 202. Each of the four sets of clip frames 202 is fitted with a clip block 203. The four sets of clip blocks 203 are respectively fixedly connected to one side of the movable frame plate 201 via the fixing blocks 401 and the connecting rods 402. The movable connection with the base plate 403 and the adjustment of the stud 404 enable adaptive adjustment of the equipment's level, enhancing the equipment's stability in different installation scenarios, reducing vibration amplitude, and ensuring the operating accuracy of the scraping mechanism 3. The combination of the heating pot body 501 and the heating wire 502 achieves uniform heating, and the dynamic scraping of the scraper increases the material evaporation rate. At the same time, the heating temperature can be adjusted according to the material characteristics, adapting to the separation of multiple types of materials. The snap-fit ​​structure of the frame and the locking block 203 enhances the connection strength between the movable frame plate 201 and the mounting ring 11, preventing the cap displacement caused by vacuum negative pressure during distillation. At the same time, the structure of the screw 206 and the pressure plate 205 improves the uniformity of the pressure distribution on the sealing surface.

[0046] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: the cylinder 1 is fixed to the horizontal platform by the support mechanism 4, and the top stud 404 of the bottom plate 403 is screwed to fix it, so that the liquid is introduced into the cylinder 1 to avoid vibration when the scraping mechanism 3 is running. After the installation ring 11 is welded to the cylinder 1, the sealing groove 216 is aligned with the arc-shaped clamping plate 214 of the cover assembly 2, and the sealing ring 215 is embedded. When the scraping mechanism 3 is installed, the threaded cylinder 307 is fixed to the top of the cover, and the screw 308 is screwed in to ensure that the thread gap is ≤0.1mm. The drive motor 301 is fixed by the upright plate 303 to ensure that the rotating shaft 302 is coaxial with the movable plate 304. The movable rod 305 is linked to the connecting plate 306 and the cooling plate 21. 3. The tube body 208 is connected to the cooling circulation system via the T-shaped slot 210 and the elastic sheet 212. After tightening the sealing plug 209, a test is conducted to ensure no leakage. The heating pot body 501 is wrapped with heating wire 502 and covered with an insulation layer, and connected to the temperature control system. The conveying pipe 10 is connected to the external vacuum structure to ensure that the inside of the cylinder 1 is in a vacuum state. The heating component 5 is started to heat up to the initial evaporation of the material. At the same time, the cooling plate 213 is circulated with coolant. After the drive motor 301 is started, the rotating shaft 302 drives the scraper body 310 to move up and down repeatedly. The threaded cylinder 307 drives the screw 308 to move axially, realizing a combined rotation and lifting motion. For low-viscosity materials, the scraper lifting frequency is 10. The flow rate is 1000 rpm. The guide channel 311 guides the liquid film to form a spiral flow, controlling the liquid film thickness to 0.1-0.3 mm. For high-viscosity materials, the speed is reduced to 80 rpm, the stroke is increased to 15 mm, and the gap between the scraper and the evaporation surface is adjusted to 0.5 mm. After the light component evaporates, it is condensed on the cooling plate 213 and discharged through the top butterfly valve. The heavy component residual liquid is discharged through the bottom eccentric rotary valve. The vacuum degree is maintained during discharge. When the material liquid level drops, the PLC control system automatically increases the downward stroke of the screw 308, so that the scraper body 310 drops synchronously with the liquid level. During maintenance, the movable frame plate 201 and the lead screw 206 are loosened. After the pressure plate 205 is disengaged from the groove 204, the movable frame plate 201 is flipped to remove the sealing cover 217. The cooling plate 213 is quickly disassembled and cleaned through the elastic sheet 212, reducing the single maintenance time. The clamping strength of the clamping frame 202 and the clamping block 203 is checked regularly to prevent the vacuum negative pressure from causing the sealing cover to shift and to ensure uniform pressure on the sealing surface.

Identical components are represented by the same reference numerals. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
