It utilizes the different volatilities of the components in the mixture, that is, the different vapor pressures of the components at the same temperature. The light components (low boiling substances) in the liquid phase are transferred to the gas phase, and the heavy components (high boiling substances) in the gas phase are transferred to the liquid phase, thereby achieving the purpose of separation. For example, the patent application number is CN202022547575.9, and the name is a packed distillation tower; another example is the patent application number CN202222898525.4, and the name is a plate-type distillation tower in an air separation device. Distillation tower, with the development of the chemical industry, packed distillation tower and plate distillation tower rely on gravity to make the liquid fall naturally to complete mass transfer and reaction, which takes a long time. Compared with traditional distillation towers, the high-efficiency separator of this application adopts the principle of centrifugal force. The specific surface area generated by the divided liquid is much larger than that of the packed tower, which completes the mass transfer and chemical reaction process more efficiently; it occupies a smaller space but can achieve the same or better effect and rate as the packed tower, which can not only achieve the purpose efficiently but also save costs; in terms of medium selection, compared with other separators, the ultra-gravity separator can separate high-viscosity liquids and azeotropic solutions.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] In order to further explain the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined purpose of the utility model, the specific implementation method, structure, characteristics and effects of the present invention are described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0018] Refer to Figure 1As shown, the first embodiment of the present utility model is a high-efficiency separator, including a bracket 1, a shell 2 and a driving mechanism 3 are arranged on the bracket 1, the driving mechanism 3 includes a main shaft 31 and a motor 32, one end of the main shaft 31 passes through the shell 2 and is connected to the top of the shell 2 through a bearing, and the other end passes through the bottom of the shell 2 and is connected to a pulley 33, and the pulley 33 is connected to the motor 32 through a belt, the shell 2 includes a bottom shell 21, a top shell 22 and a plurality of intermediate shells 23, the bottom shell 21, the top shell 22 and the plurality of intermediate shells 23 are all fixedly connected by bolts, an air outlet 4 and a liquid return port 5 are arranged on the upper end of the top shell 22, and a liquid inlet 8 is arranged on the side wall of the middle shell, the bottom shell 21 is provided with a liquid outlet 7 and an air inlet 6, the air inlet 6 is arranged on the side wall of the bottom shell 21, and the liquid outlet 7 is arranged at the bottom of the bottom shell 21, the air outlet 4, the liquid return port 5, the liquid inlet 8, the liquid outlet 7 and the air inlet 6 are all connected inside the shell 2, and the shell 2 is provided with a liquid outlet 4, a liquid return port 5, a liquid inlet 8, a liquid outlet 7 and a gas inlet 6. A plurality of separation components 9 are provided, and the plurality of separation components 9 are evenly distributed along the vertical direction of the shell 2. The separation components 9 include a fixed disk 91 connected to the shell 2 and a rotating disk 92 connected to the main shaft 31. The inner walls of the upper ends of the bottom shell 21 and the intermediate casing 23 are provided with a step surface 10. The lower end of the fixed disk 91 is in contact with the step surface 10 and is fixedly connected by a fastener 11. A through hole 911 is provided in the center of the fixed disk 91 for liquid to flow to the center of the rotating disk 92. The rotating disk 92 is provided with a plurality of lower annular plates 921 with different concentric centers, and a plurality of holes 922 are distributed on the circumference of the lower annular plate 921. The holes 922 are used to more evenly throw away the material when the inner ring of the rotating disk 92 collides with the material liquid. An upper annular plate 912 is vertically extended downward from the lower end surface of the fixed disk 91, and the upper annular plate 912 and the lower annular plate 921 are radially equidistant from the adjacent lower annular plate 921. The upper annular plate 912 and the lower annular plate 921 together form a channel for gas and liquid circulation. When working, continuous gas enters the shell 2 from the air inlet 6, and under the action of the pressure difference, the channel formed by the upper annular plate 912 and the lower annular plate 921 flows in a zigzag manner from the outside to the center, and then enters the upper separation component 9 through the through hole 911 on the fixed disk 91 until it finally leaves from the air outlet 4; the raw material enters from the liquid inlet 8, and the material evaporated from the air outlet 4 enters from the liquid return port 5, and the evaporated material or raw material enters the shell 2 and enters the center of the corresponding rotating disk 92 through the through hole 911 on the fixed disk 91. The material or raw material is repeatedly thrown to the upper annular plate 912 by the high-speed rotating lower annular plate 921 of the main shaft 31 connected to the rotating disk 92, until it is thrown to the next fixed disk 91 and then enters the center of the next rotating disk 92 through the through hole 911, until it is finally gathered on the bottom shell 21 and led out through the liquid outlet 7. After multiple separation and aggregation processes, the liquid is thrown away from the rotating disk 92 in extremely fine droplets. The high-speed moving droplets are collided, sheared and splashed on the fixed disk 91. Under the action of the centrifugal force of the rotating gas, a gas-liquid interface with a very large specific surface area and constantly renewed is formed, thereby having an extremely high mass transfer rate.
[0019] Refer to Figure 2 As shown, the second embodiment is basically the same as the first embodiment, with the only difference being that: a plurality of the lower end sides of the intermediate casings 23 are symmetrically provided with notches 12, the notches 12 are connected to the interior of the shell 2, and the notches 12 are each provided with an adjusting member 13, the adjusting member 13 is used to adjust the vertical position of the fixing plate 91, and thereby adjust the spacing between the upper annular plate 912 and the lower annular plate 921.
[0020] A baffle 14 is extended from the fixed disk 91 corresponding to the position of the notch 12, and an inner sealing layer 15 is provided on the end face of the baffle 14 that fits with the interior of the intermediate casing 23. A transverse plate 16 is provided on the baffle 14 toward the notch 12, and a fixed plate 17 is fixedly connected to the transverse plate 16. An outer sealing layer 18 is provided on the end face of the fixed plate 17 that fits with the outer wall of the intermediate casing 23.
[0021] The adjusting member 13 includes a boss 131 extending laterally from the side wall of the intermediate casing 23 , and a screw rod 132 is movably connected to the boss 131 , and the screw rod 132 is threadedly connected to the fixing plate 17 , and the fixing plate 17 is driven to move vertically by rotating the screw rod 132 , thereby driving the fixing plate 91 to move up and down.
[0022] The above improvements are as follows: Figure 2As shown, since the current fixed disk 91 is fixedly connected to the shell 2, it is rather troublesome to adjust the spacing between the fixed disk 91 and the rotating disk 92 by adjusting the position of the rotating disk 92 on the rotating shaft. Therefore, notches 12 are symmetrically provided on the side of the lower end of the intermediate casing 23. The notches 12 are connected to the inside of the shell 2. Adjusting members 13 are provided at the notches 12. The adjusting members 13 are used to adjust the vertical position of the fixed disk 91, and then adjust the spacing between the upper annular plate 912 and the lower annular plate 921 to ensure that the upper annular plate 912 and the lower annular plate 921 are at a reasonable spacing. The fixed disk 91 is provided with a baffle 14 extending from the position corresponding to the notch 12, and the end surface of the baffle 14 that fits the inside of the intermediate casing 23 is provided with an inner sealing layer 15, and the baffle 14 is provided with a transverse plate 16 facing the notch 12, and the transverse plate 16 is fixedly connected with a fixed plate 17, and the end surface of the fixed plate 17 that fits the outer wall of the intermediate casing 23 is provided with an outer sealing layer 18, and the inner sealing layer 15 and the outer sealing layer 18 are used to ensure that the gas does not leak from the notch 12, and the adjusting member 13 includes a boss 131 extending laterally from the side wall of the intermediate casing 23, and a screw rod 132 is movably connected to the boss 131, and the screw rod 132 is threadedly connected to the fixed plate 17, and the screw rod 132 is symmetrically rotated by synchronous rotation. 132 then drives the vertical movement of the fixed plate 17, and then drives the movement of the fixed disk 91, so as to adjust the distance between the upper annular plate 912 and the lower annular plate 921, which is relatively convenient and quick. When distilling different materials, according to the physical properties of the materials themselves, for example, solvents with higher viscosity, the distance between the fixed disk 91 and the rotating disk 92 can be increased by the adjusting member 13 to reduce fluid resistance and improve mass transfer efficiency. For solvents with lower viscosity, the distance can be appropriately reduced by the adjusting member 13 to increase the gas-liquid contact area and the mass transfer surface area, and the distance between the fixed disk 91 and the rotating disk 92 can be adjusted according to the physical properties of the solvent itself to obtain better mass transfer efficiency.
