Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of distillation equipment, in particular to a floating valve tower plate and methanol distillation equipment. Background Art
[0002] In order to obtain high-purity and high-quality methanol products, methanol distillation has become an important processing step in the methanol production process. In methanol distillation equipment, the float valve tray is an important component. The float valve tray is a tray with many valve holes, each of which is equipped with a float valve. The gas pushes the float valve upward through the valve hole and ejects horizontally. When passing through the liquid layer, the gas and liquid phases are in a foam state for heat and mass transfer. Since the opening of the float valve can change with the gas velocity, the float valve can be automatically closed under the action of gravity at low gas velocity, reducing leakage. When the gas load changes within a large range, the float valve can keep the gas gap speed almost unchanged, thereby obtaining similar gas-liquid contact conditions and separation efficiency. Therefore, it has the advantages of high efficiency and high elasticity, and has a simple structure, low cost and high processing capacity.
[0003] In practice, in order to facilitate production and assembly, the floating valve tower plate is usually composed of multiple plates fixed by bolts. However, at the connection between two adjacent plates, since it is impossible to open valve holes and install floating valves, the gas will not pass through the connection between the adjacent plates, resulting in the inability to bubble at the connection. This causes the floating valves on the floating valve tower plate to be unevenly distributed, and bubbling blind spots are prone to occur, which reduces the mass transfer effect and increases the entrainment of mist and foam.

[0039] Embodiment 1
[0040] like Figure 1-12 As shown, in one embodiment of the utility model, a floating valve tray is provided, comprising a middle plate 10, two side plates 20, two first connecting seats 40 and a plurality of floating valve bodies 50, wherein the middle plate 10 is provided with a plurality of first valve holes 11, and the two side walls of the middle plate 10 facing the side plates 20 are respectively provided with a plurality of first notches 12. The two side plates 20 are respectively abutted against the two sides of the middle plate 10, and the side walls of the side plates 20 are provided with a plurality of second notches 21, and each second notch 21 is surrounded by the corresponding first notch 12 to form a second valve hole 31.
[0041] Two first connection seats 40 are respectively arranged below the connection between the middle plate 10 and the two side plates 20. The first connection seats 40 are detachably connected to the middle plate 10 and the side plates 20 by bolts. The first connection seats 40 are provided with a plurality of first through holes 41. Each first through hole 41 is aligned with a second valve hole 31. The first through hole 41 is coaxially arranged with the second valve hole 31. The inner diameter of the first through hole 41 is larger than the inner diameter of the second valve hole 31. A float valve body 50 is installed in each first valve hole 11 and the second valve hole 31.
[0042] The present embodiment discloses a floating valve tower plate, which is designed with a first notch 12 on the side walls on both sides of the middle plate 10 and a second notch 21 on the side walls of the side plate 20. When the middle plate 10 and the side plate 20 are spliced, the first notch 12 can be combined with the second notch 21 to form a second valve hole 31. At the same time, the first connecting seat 40 is designed to fasten the connection between the middle plate 10 and the side plate 20, thereby realizing the assembly of the middle plate 10 and the side plate 20. Since the first through hole 41 is provided on the first connecting seat 40, the gas can push open the floating valve body 50 through the first through hole 41 and the second valve hole 31, which enables bubbling to be achieved at the connection between the middle plate 10 and the side plate 20, thereby eliminating the bubbling blind area and making the bubbling of the floating valve tower plate more uniform. Furthermore, since the inner diameter of the first through hole 41 is larger than the inner diameter of the second valve hole 31, the valve foot of the float valve body 50 can be accommodated, and the valve foot can hook the bottom surface of the middle plate 10 or the side plate 20 (see Figure 5 ), thereby ensuring the normal operation of the float valve body 50.
[0043] In one embodiment, the middle plate 10 is provided with a plurality of first mounting holes 13, the side plate 20 is provided with a plurality of second mounting holes 22, and the first connecting seat 40 is provided with a plurality of third mounting holes 42, and each first mounting hole 13 and second mounting hole 22 are aligned with a third mounting hole 42.

[0044] In one embodiment, the middle plate 10 includes a first plate body 14 and a second plate body 15 abutting against both sides of the first plate body 14. The side walls of the first plate body 14 are recessed to form a plurality of third notches 141, and the side walls of the second plate body 15 are respectively provided with a plurality of fourth notches 151. Each fourth notch 151 is combined with the corresponding third notch 141 to form a third valve hole 32.
[0045] The floating valve tower plate also includes two second connecting seats 60, which are respectively arranged below the connection between the first plate body 14 and the two second plate bodies 15. The second connecting seats 60 are respectively detachably connected to the first plate body 14 and the second plate body 15. A plurality of second through holes 61 are provided on the second connecting seats 60. Each second through hole 61 is aligned with a third valve hole 32, and the inner diameter of the second through hole 61 is larger than the inner diameter of the third valve hole 32.
[0046] Similarly, by designing the third notch 141 on the side walls on both sides of the first plate body 14 and designing the fourth notch 151 on the side walls of the second plate body 15, when the first plate body 14 and the second plate body 15 are spliced, the third notch 141 can be combined with the fourth notch 151 to form the third valve hole 32. At the same time, by designing the second connecting seat 60 to fasten the connection between the first plate body 14 and the second plate body 15, the first plate body 14 and the second plate body 15 are assembled.
[0047] Since the second connection seat 60 is provided with a second through hole 61, the gas can push open the float valve body 50 through the second through hole 61 and the third valve hole 32, so that bubbling can also be achieved at the connection between the first plate body 14 and the second plate body 15, thereby further eliminating the bubbling blind area and making the bubbling of the float valve tower plate more uniform. In addition, since the inner diameter of the second through hole 61 is larger than the inner diameter of the third valve hole 32, the valve foot of the float valve body 50 can be accommodated, and the valve foot can hook the bottom surface of the middle plate 10 or the side plate 20 (see Figure 5 ), thereby ensuring the normal operation of the float valve body 50.
[0048] Furthermore, by designing the intermediate plate 10 as a split structure, it is also convenient to produce, manufacture and assemble the intermediate plate 10 .
[0049] In one embodiment, the first plate body 14 is provided with a plurality of fourth mounting holes 142, the second plate body 15 is provided with a plurality of fifth mounting holes 152, and the second connecting seat 60 is provided with a plurality of sixth mounting holes 62, and each fourth mounting hole 142 and fifth mounting hole 152 are aligned with a sixth mounting hole 62. The bolts are threadedly engaged with the second connecting seat 60 after passing through the fourth mounting holes 142 (fifth mounting holes 152) and the sixth mounting holes 62, so that the connection between the first plate body 14 and the second plate body 15 is fastened, and the assembly of the first plate body 14 and the second plate body 15 is achieved.
[0050] In one embodiment, in order to enhance the overall structural strength of the floating valve tray, two ends of the second connecting seat 60 are respectively connected to the two first connecting seats 40 to form a frame structure, and the connection can be fixed by welding.
[0051] In one embodiment, in order to facilitate the rapid positioning of the installation position of the first plate body 14 on the two first connecting seats 40 and the two second connecting seats 60, positioning protrusions 143 are respectively provided at the four corners of the bottom surface of the first plate body 14, and each positioning protrusion 143 respectively abuts against the corner where the first connecting seat 40 is connected to the second connecting seat 60.
[0052] In one embodiment, in order to quickly install the side panel 20 on the first connecting seat 40, at least two positioning blocks 23 are provided on the bottom surface of the side panel 20, and each positioning block 23 abuts against the first connecting seat 40. After the positions of the first plate body 14 and the two side panels 20 are determined, the positions of the two second plate bodies 15 are also determined accordingly, so there is no need to design a positioning structure on the second plate body 15.
[0053] In one embodiment, in order to make the liquid distribution more uniform, one of the side plates 20 is provided with a liquid receiving pan, and the other side plate 20 is provided with a downcomer 24 .
