TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of centrifuges, in particular to a centrifuge for 2-chloro-4-fluorobenzoic acid production. BACKGROUND
[0002] 2-chloro-4-fluorobenzoic acid is an important organic synthesis intermediate and is widely used in the fields of fine chemical industry such as medicine and pesticide. The molecule structure of 2-chloro-4-fluorobenzoic acid contains chlorine and fluorine atoms, which endows special chemical properties and is often used for constructing active molecules containing fluorine and chlorine functional groups. In the production process, the reaction generates solid phase crystallization products and liquid phase mixtures. Because the 2-chloro-4-fluorobenzoic acid crystalline particles are small and easy to agglomerate, and are difficult to separate from the mother liquor, the centrifuge can realize the solid-liquid separation quickly by means of centrifugal force, so that the solid phase crystallization is enriched on the inner wall of the drum, and the liquid phase is efficiently discharged, which not only guarantees the product purity, but also recycles the mother liquor, avoids material waste and pollution, and is the key equipment for realizing the solid-liquid separation, improving the production efficiency and product quality in the production of the product.
[0003] Although the centrifuge is used for solid-liquid separation, the scraper design of the prior art has obvious defects, which seriously restricts the separation efficiency and product quality. In production, 2-chloro-4-fluorobenzoic acid crystallization continuously generates with the reaction, and the small crystalline particles just precipitated will gradually adhere to the surface of the drum. Because the existing scraper is fixed in structure and cannot be adjusted, if it is initially set to closely fit the surface of the drum, a small amount of newly generated solid phase will be immediately scraped off by the scraper as soon as the drum captures it, which will prevent the crystallization from fully growing and enriching, not only increasing the difficulty of subsequent crystallization purification, but also causing the solid phase to repeatedly circulate in the centrifuge due to frequent scraping, thereby reducing the overall efficiency of the separation process. In order to avoid the newly generated solid phase from being scraped off too early, a gap is intentionally left between the scraper and the surface of the drum.
[0004] With the progress of production, the solid phase adhered to the surface of the drum continuously accumulates, especially the characteristics of 2-chloro-4-fluorobenzoic acid which is easy to agglomerate, which will form a dense and thick adhesion layer of solid phase. The scraper with a reserved gap cannot reach the deep layer of the inner wall of the drum, and cannot effectively clean the stubborn residues. These residual solid phases will pollute the subsequent batch of materials, affect the product purity, and increase the load of the drum rotation, thereby increasing the energy consumption and fault risk of the equipment.
[0005] Meanwhile, in the production of 2-chloro-4-fluorobenzoic acid, the reaction system is complex, and the mother liquor may contain unreacted raw materials, by-products and the like, which may adhere to the drum together with the crystals. The existing fixed scraper is difficult to adapt to different adhesion states of the mixture. When there are many impurities in the mother liquor, a complex adhesion structure is formed between the solid phase, the liquid phase and the impurities. When the fixed scraper is scraped, it is easy to cause incomplete scraping or to scrape too much liquid phase, which not only causes product loss, but also makes it difficult to recover the mother liquor, and cannot efficiently realize resource recycling. Moreover, because the scraper cannot be adjusted, it is difficult to flexibly adjust the scraping force and the fitting degree in the face of different batches of 2-chloro-4-fluorobenzoic acid crystal forms and particle size changes (such as changes in crystal particle size and agglomeration degree caused by fluctuations in reaction conditions), it is difficult to stably ensure the solid-liquid separation effect, and long-term use will also cause unreasonable contact between the scraper and the drum, aggravate the wear of the inner wall of the drum, shorten the service life of the equipment, and increase the cost of equipment maintenance and replacement of enterprises, which becomes a key bottleneck restricting the large-scale and high-quality production of 2-chloro-4-fluorobenzoic acid.
[0006] Therefore, the present application provides a centrifuge for producing 2-chloro-4-fluorobenzoic acid. SUMMARY

[0014] Preferably, the sliding ring is provided with a sliding groove II matched with the rack, which can ensure the sliding connection of the two and provide a guiding space for the movement of the rack.
[0015] Preferably, the two sides of the ear plate are provided with side holes, the driven scraper set further comprises a number of driven bases corresponding to the number of driven plates, the driven bases are fixedly connected to the surface of the bearing plate, a plurality of springs are fixedly connected in the driven bases, the other ends of the springs are fixedly connected to the surface of the driven plate, and the driven plate and the driven base are in a sliding fit.
[0016] Preferably, the lateral strips are hingedly connected with the driving plates through the side holes on the two sides of the ear plate, forming a synchronous linkage structure, and ensuring the consistency of the trajectories of the driven plates and the driving plates.
[0017] Preferably, the driven plate is synchronously stretched and contracted by the lateral strip when the driving plate moves; when the driving plate reaches the maximum stroke, the driven plate completely fills the gap between adjacent driving plates to form a continuous scraping surface; when the driving plate returns, the driven plate is compressed by the spring and retracts into the driven base.
[0018] Preferably, the pressure sensors are arranged on the inner wall of the rotating drum in a circumferential direction, and the scraping contact pressure data is collected in real time and transmitted to the PLC controller, so that the displacement compensation amount of the two-stage stroke of the air cylinder is automatically corrected to realize dynamic adaptation of the scraping force to the material adhesion characteristics.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages: 1. By constructing a progressive scraping scheme with double strokes, the problem that the traditional fixed scraper cannot balance the scraping efficiency and cleanliness is solved. Under the driving of the main stage stroke of the air cylinder, the scraper first contacts the inner wall of the rotating drum, quickly removes most of the loose material layer, avoids excessive accumulation of crystals affecting the separation efficiency, and after the main stage stroke is completed, the air cylinder enters the secondary stroke, the control cylinder group drives the driven scraper group to further expand to the limit position, at this time, the complementary unit of the driven scraper group automatically fills the gap between the adjacent scraper arm units under the linkage action of the driven scraper group, forming a complete annular scraping surface, and the stubborn material remaining on the inner wall of the rotating drum is deeply cleaned. This double-stroke progressive scraping mode avoids the problem that the traditional scraper removes the crystals that are not fully enriched too early, and can implement the scraping in stages and strategically after the completion of the centrifugal operation, according to the material layer with different thickness and adhesion strength, which significantly improves the thoroughness of solid-liquid separation.
[0020] 2. The center cylinder, driving shaft and driving gear inside the control cylinder group build a stable and precise transmission system. The center cylinder provides a mounting base for the driving shaft and the driving gear. The driving shaft directly transmits the power of the air cylinder, and the driving gear makes the two mirror-symmetric racks move in opposite directions by meshing with the racks. Compared with the traditional scraper power transmission, the transmission structure ensures the synchronous and opposite movement of the scraper arm units, provides stable power for the scraping operation, and makes the scraping process more orderly in the production of 2-chloro-4-fluorobenzoic acid, avoids incomplete scraping or damage to the rotating drum caused by uneven power, ensures stable separation operation, and improves production continuity.
[0021] 3. The rack and drive plate design of the active scraper assembly further optimizes the separation effect. Two racks mesh with the drive gear; one moves with the drive shaft while the other moves in the opposite direction, coordinating the scraper unit's operation. The drive plate outside the racks directly contacts the inner wall of the drum. Driven by the racks, it can gently clean the loose layer first, and then thoroughly process stubborn residues according to the material separation process. Traditional fixed scrapers tend to scrape too early or not clean thoroughly. This design is adapted to the dynamic process of 2-chloro-4-fluorobenzoic acid crystal formation and adhesion, allowing crystals to grow and accumulate fully, reducing the difficulty of subsequent purification, improving separation efficiency and product purity, reducing the circulation of solid phase within the equipment, and ensuring efficient production.
[0022] 4. The driven scraper assembly, including the driven plate, support plate, and side strips, is key to eliminating scraping blind spots. The driven plate is positioned in the gap between the drive plate and the drive plate, the support plate provides the mounting base, and the side strips connect the two to create a linkage. When the drive plate moves, the side strips drive the driven plate to move synchronously, filling the gaps. Addressing the issue of 2-chloro-4-fluorobenzoic acid easily agglomerating to form a dense layer, traditional fixed scrapers cannot handle gap residue. In this design, the driven plate, pushed by a spring, can precisely fill the gaps, forming a continuous annular scraping surface. This structure thoroughly cleans the residue on the inner wall of the drum, preventing material contamination of subsequent batches, ensuring stable product quality, and solving the purity and energy consumption problems caused by gap residue in traditional scrapers.
[0023] 5. The active scraper assembly, including the slip ring, fixed stack, support bar, and ear plate, improves the motion coordination of the scraper unit. The slip ring moves with the rack, and the fixed stack, support bar, and ear plate form a linkage mechanism, converting the slip ring motion into the lifting force of the drive plate. Traditional scraper motion is prone to jamming and uneven force distribution. This design makes the expansion of the drive plate more stable and controllable. In the production of 2-chloro-4-fluorobenzoic acid, this coordinated motion ensures that the drive plate is subjected to uniform force, avoiding damage to the drum due to excessive local force, extending the service life of the equipment, and making the scraping action smoother, improving the scraping effect, ensuring the high efficiency and stability of solid-liquid separation, and reducing equipment maintenance costs.
[0024] 6. The pressure sensor on the inner wall of the drum works in conjunction with the PLC controller to build an intelligent control mechanism. The pressure sensor collects scraping pressure data in real time, transmits it to the PLC, and automatically corrects the cylinder stroke compensation. Traditional scrapers cannot adapt to the adhesion characteristics of different batches of materials. This design can dynamically adjust the scraping force according to the differences in the crystal morphology and humidity of 2-chloro-4-fluorobenzoic acid. This intelligent control not only ensures efficient removal of the solid phase, but also avoids damage to the drum due to excessive scraping force. It achieves a dual improvement in equipment stability and material separation cleanliness, helping to promote the large-scale, high-quality production of 2-chloro-4-fluorobenzoic acid and breaking through the production bottleneck caused by the lack of intelligent adaptation in traditional equipment.

The inner wall of the rotating drum 3 is circumferentially spaced to arrange pressure sensors, which collect scraping contact pressure data in real time. After the data is transmitted to the PLC controller, the displacement compensation amount of the two-stage stroke of the air cylinder 5 is automatically corrected to realize dynamic adaptation of the scraping force to the material adhesion characteristics.
[0031] Specifically, after the equipment is started, the separation mechanism 4 operates first, and at the same time the rotating drum 3 rotates at high speed. The rotating drum 3 is the core carrier of centrifugal separation, and the centrifugal force field generated by its rotation provides the power basis for solid-liquid separation. At this time, the 2-chloro-4-fluorobenzoic acid production raw materials are put into the rotating drum 3 through the feed inlet 2, and the raw materials are uniformly distributed and contacted with the rotating drum 3 under the dispersion of the separation mechanism 4.
[0032] Based on the principle of centrifugal force, the solid phase material with larger density in the mixed raw materials moves to the inner wall of the rotating drum 3 and gradually adheres under the action of centrifugal force, while the liquid phase with smaller density gathers in the central area of the rotating drum 3 due to the difference in centrifugal force distribution, and finally flows into the special liquid phase collection part, completing the preliminary solid-liquid separation.
[0033] During the continuous rotation of the rotating drum 3, the driving plate 626 of the driving scraper group 62 is not in contact with the inner wall of the rotating drum 3 in the initial state, but as the separation process advances, the solid phase material adhered to the inner wall of the rotating drum 3 gradually thickens. At this time, the driving plate 626 can preliminarily scrape the thickened solid phase surface layer, to a certain extent, maintain the stability of the solid phase layer thickness of the inner wall of the rotating drum 3, and avoid affecting the separation efficiency due to excessive accumulation of solid phase. However, this stage is not a complete scraping operation, and mainly plays an auxiliary separation role.
[0034] When the centrifugal separation operation is completed, the key cleaning process of scraping is entered. At this time, the air cylinder 5 is started, the telescopic shaft of the air cylinder 5 is extended, and the driving shaft 612 of the control cylinder group 61 is lowered. Since the driving shaft 612 is fixedly connected with one of the two racks 621, the lowering of the driving shaft 612 directly drives the synchronous downward movement of the rack 621. Since the two racks 621 are both engaged with the driving gear 613, the other rack 621 will be raised in the opposite direction under the meshing transmission action of the driving gear 613, that is, the two racks 621 move in the opposite direction along the inner wall of the central cylinder 611.
[0035] With the movement of the rack 621, the slip ring 622 fixedly connected with the rack 621 also moves synchronously. The two slip rings 622 move towards each other along with the rack 621. During this process, the support bar 624 connected with the fixed stack 623 on the surface of the slip ring 622 is constrained by the movement of the slip ring 622 and rotates and swings towards the side closer to each other.
[0036] The rotation of the support bar 624 is converted into the jacking force of the driving plate 626 through the ear plate 625, and the driving plate 626 expands radially outward along the rotating drum 3 under the linkage of the ear plate 625.
[0037] When the ear plate 625 moves, the two side holes 6251 on both sides of the ear plate 625 pull the lateral strips 631. Since the two ends of the lateral strips 631 are respectively hinged to the ear plate 625 and the driving plate 626, and are affected by the expansion tendency of the driving plate 626, the hinged points of the two lateral strips 631 are synchronously lifted, thereby driving the position of the carrier plate 632 and the driven base 633 of the driven scraper group 63 to change. Under the linkage action, the driving plate 626 no longer blocks the driven plate 635, and the spring 634 in the driven base 633 is stretched elastically to push the driven plate 635 upward to accurately fill the gap between the adjacent driving plates 626.
[0038] Finally, the driving plate 626 and the driven plate 635 jointly form a continuous annular scraping surface. When the rotating drum 3 continuously rotates, the annular scraping surface closely adheres to the inner wall of the rotating drum 3 to comprehensively scrape the stubborn solid-phase materials adhered. Compared with a single scraper structure, the annular surface scraping mode can eliminate the scraping blind area, ensure that the solid phase in each area of the inner wall of the rotating drum 3 can be cleaned, and improve the cleaning thoroughness. The variable-diameter scraping logic that the driving plate 626 expands first and the driven plate 635 fills the gap later can adapt to the distribution characteristics of the solid-phase layer on the inner wall of the rotating drum 3, process the large-area loose materials first, and then clean the gap residues in detail, thereby avoiding the damage of the equipment caused by the hard contact between the scraper and the thick solid-phase layer, and improving the scraping efficiency.
[0039] After the scraping operation is completed, the extension shaft of the air cylinder 5 is reset, the driving shaft 612 is lifted, and the rack 621, the slip ring 622 and other components are moved in the reverse direction. The driving plate 626 falls back with the ear plate 625 and the supporting strip 624. At this time, since the driving plate 626 is an arc surface structure, the driving plate 626 exerts pressure on the driven plate 635 during the resetting process. The resetting forces of the arc surfaces of the two adjacent driving plates 626 form a resultant force, which forces the driven plate 635 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 634 and retract into the driven base 633. The spring 634 is compressed again. Thus, the components of the scraper assembly return to the initial position, and a complete working cycle of “centrifugal separation-scraping cleaning-component resetting” is completed.
[0040] During the entire working process, the pressure sensor arranged circumferentially on the inner wall of the rotating drum 3 collects the scraping contact pressure data in real time, which is transmitted to the PLC controller to automatically correct the displacement compensation amount of the two-stage stroke of the air cylinder 5. This intelligent control mechanism can dynamically adapt the scraping force according to the adhesion force differences caused by the adhesion characteristics such as the crystal form and humidity of different batches of 2-chloro-4-fluorobenzoic acid materials, thereby ensuring efficient scraping of the solid-phase materials and avoiding damage to the inner wall of the rotating drum 3 caused by excessive scraping force. The dual improvement of equipment operation stability and material separation cleanliness can help the efficient and stable development of the production process of 2-chloro-4-fluorobenzoic acid.
