DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The technical solution of the utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the utility model proposes a flash tower for modified asphalt production, including a tower body 1, a feed pipe 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the tower body 1 near the upper surface, and the modified asphalt gas-liquid mixture enters the tower body 1 through the feed pipe 7, and a hollow tube 5 is rotatably installed on the upper surface of the tower body 1, and the hollow tube 5 and the tower body 1 are rotatably connected by a bearing, and the two ends of the hollow tube 5 are respectively located inside and outside the tower body 1, and the outer surface of the hollow tube 5 is welded with an inclined spiral blade 15, and the inclined spiral blade 15 is located inside the tower body 1, and the outer surface of the inclined spiral blade 15 is welded with an inclined spiral blade 15. A horizontal spiral blade 14 is welded on the surface, and a number of air outlet holes 16 are equidistantly arranged on the outer surface of the hollow tube 5 along the spiral direction of the inclined spiral blade 15. The angle a between the cross section of the inclined spiral blade 15 and the axis of the hollow tube 5 is an acute angle, and the cross section of the horizontal spiral blade 14 is perpendicular to the axis of the hollow tube 5. The asphalt gas-liquid mixture flows in a spiral along the horizontal spiral blade 14, while the inclined spiral blade 15 prevents the spirally flowing asphalt gas-liquid mixture from contacting the hollow tube 5, thereby preventing the asphalt gas-liquid mixture from entering the interior of the hollow tube 5 through the air outlet holes 16.

[0023] A transmission box 3 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the tower body 1, and the hollow tube 5 passes through the transmission box 3. A rotating motor 6 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the transmission box 3. A transmission gear 12 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the hollow tube 5. A motor gear 13 is fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the rotating motor 6, and the motor gear 13 and the transmission gear 12 are meshed. The motor gear 13 and the transmission gear 12 are both located inside the transmission box 3. The rotating motor 6 drives the hollow tube 5 to rotate through the meshing motor gear 13 and the transmission gear 12.

[0024] A motor switch 9 is fixedly installed on the front surface of the tower body 1, and the motor switch 9 is electrically connected to the rotating motor 6. A discharge valve 11 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the tower body 1. Four legs 10 are fixedly connected in a circular array at equal intervals near the edge of the lower surface of the tower body 1. A regulating valve 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the feed pipe 7. The flow rate of the asphalt gas-liquid mixture entering the tower body 1 is controlled by the regulating valve 8. An instrument interface 2 is arranged on one side of the upper surface of the tower body 1. A temperature sensor, a pressure transmission sensor and a liquid level sensor are fixedly installed inside the instrument interface 2. The values ​​measured by the temperature sensor, the pressure sensor and the liquid level sensor are displayed in real time on the production operating table through an external OPC data computer screen, and can be connected to the factory central control DCS system for centralized monitoring at the same time. A safety pressure valve 4 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the tower body 1. The safety pressure valve 4 can release the pressure when the pressure inside the tower body 1 is too high to protect the tower body 1 and the personnel.

[0025] When the utility model is in use, the asphalt gas-liquid mixture enters the tower body 1 through the feed pipe 7 and flows downward in a spiral along the horizontal spiral blades 14 and the inclined spiral blades 15, thereby increasing the residence time of the asphalt gas-liquid mixture in the tower body 1 and the degassing area, so there is no need to increase the volume of the tower body 1. In the process of spiral flow, the gas passes through the air outlet 16 and enters the hollow tube 5, and is discharged to the outside of the tower body 1 by the hollow tube 5. In the process of driving the hollow tube 5 to rotate by the rotating motor 6, the horizontal spiral blades 14 can scrape off the asphalt adhering to the inner wall of the tower body 1.
