Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rotary evaporators, in particular to a rotary evaporator. Background Art
[0002] The rotary evaporator is a commonly used evaporation instrument in the laboratory. It is mainly used for continuous distillation of volatile solvents under reduced pressure. It consists of a motor, a distillation flask, a heating pot, a condenser and other parts. The core components of the rotary evaporator are the distillation flask and the heating pot. The working principle of the rotary evaporator is to use the heat exchange and evaporation between the liquid film inside the high-speed rotating cylinder and the outside world, so as to volatilize the solution and solvent in the liquid. In the rotary evaporator, the distillation flask rotates at a high speed, so that the solution forms a thin film inside the bottle, and heat exchanges with the heat in the heating pot to evaporate the solvent in the solution. The rotary evaporator is widely used in the fields of chemistry, chemical industry, biomedicine, etc. Its advantages include continuous distillation, large processing capacity, and low solvent consumption. In addition, the rotary evaporator is also easy to operate, easy to control, safe and reliable.
[0003] The existing Chinese patent with announcement number CN218553158U discloses a rotary evaporator, including an electric heating pot, wherein the electric heating pot is filled with continuously heated liquid water, wherein the electric heating pot is provided with a continuously rotating distillation flask, wherein a tube 1 is clamped and installed at the port of the distillation flask, wherein a tube 2 is connected to the outer contour of the tube 1 for reciprocating rotation, wherein an end of the tube 2 away from the distillation flask is penetrated and fixedly connected with a collecting shell, wherein a driving device 1 for reciprocating rotation of the tube 1 is provided in the tube 2, wherein the driving device 1 includes an annular oblique groove provided on the inner wall of the tube 1. The utility model, through the coordinated use of the above structures, solves the problem that in actual use, since the distillation flask in the traditional rotary evaporator is mostly accelerated to improve the efficiency of evaporation transfer, the excessively fast rotation speed easily makes it difficult for the liquid to quickly and comprehensively adhere to the inner wall of the distillation flask, thereby making it difficult to continue to improve the subsequent evaporation efficiency, which brings inconvenience to use.
[0004] However, the above device has the following disadvantages: when the water in the electric heating pot of the rotary evaporator is heated and evaporated for a long time, the heating pot cannot be automatically replenished with water. When the water in the heating pot evaporates too much and the operator does not add water in time, it will affect the experimental process. When the water in the heating pot evaporates completely, the heating pot may be dry-burned and damaged. Therefore, the practicability and safety of the above device are not good.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a rotary evaporator to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] The utility model aims to provide a rotary evaporator which adopts a top ball, a blocking ball and a water storage tank and has the effect of automatically adding water to a heating pot to prevent dry burning.
[0007] The above technical purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions: a rotary evaporator, comprising an evaporator body, a condenser is connected to the side wall of one end of the evaporator body, a finished product flask is connected to the bottom of the condenser, an evaporation flask is connected to the side wall of the other end of the evaporator body, a heating pot is arranged at the bottom of the evaporation flask, a heating module is fixedly installed at the bottom of the heating pot, a support column is arranged on one side of the heating pot, a water storage tank is fixedly installed at the top of the support column, a sealing ball is arranged at the top of the water storage tank, and the A support frame is fixedly installed on the side wall of the water tank, and a rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support frame, and a rotating ring is fixedly installed on the side wall of the rotating rod.

The water inside the heating pot is heated by the heating module, and the rotating evaporating flask is heated in a water bath. The heated steam is condensed by the condenser and enters the interior of the finished flask. When the water level inside the heating pot is reduced to a threshold value, the float will drop, and the rotating rod and the rotating ring will rotate, so that the top ball will push up the sealing ball at the bottom of the water storage tank, and the water inside the water storage tank will leak out through the gap between the sealing ball and the bottom, and enter the heating pot through the water supply trough. Water is added to the inside of the heating pot to make the water level reach the required height, and then the top ball is reset. The sealing ball is reset due to gravity to prevent water from continuing to flow out. The above process realizes the operation of automatically adding water to the heating pot, achieves the effect of preventing the heating pot from dry burning, and increases the practicality and safety performance of the device.
[0009] The utility model is further configured as follows: a preheating module is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the water delivery trough.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the preheating module can preliminarily heat the water inside the water tank. The preheated water can quickly reach the temperature required for evaporation when entering the heating pot, thereby increasing the practical performance and working efficiency of the device.
[0011] The utility model is further configured as follows: sealing rings are fixedly mounted on both end side walls of the evaporator body, one of the sealing rings is arranged between the evaporator body and the condenser, and the other sealing ring is arranged between the evaporator body and the evaporation flask.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the provision of the sealing ring can increase the overall sealing performance of the device.
[0013] The utility model is further configured as follows: a liquid level sensor is fixedly installed on the side wall of the heating pot, and the liquid level sensor is electrically connected to the heating module through a PLC sensor.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the liquid level sensor can monitor the water level inside the heating pot. When the water level drops to a certain height, the water storage tank no longer continues to supply water. At this time, the heating module automatically shuts down to prevent dry burning, thereby increasing the safety and practical performance of the device.
[0015] The utility model is further configured as follows: a heat preservation tank is arranged at the bottom end of the finished product flask.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the main function of the insulation tank is to keep the finished flask cold, prevent the residual heat of the heating pot from interfering with the finished flask, and make the solution inside the finished flask evaporate again, thereby increasing the practical performance of the device.
[0017] The utility model is further configured as follows: a heat preservation layer is provided on the side wall of the heating pot.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the function of the heat insulation layer is to prevent the heat loss inside the heating pot, thereby increasing the practical performance of the device and reducing the power consumption of the device.
[0019] In summary, the utility model has the following beneficial effects: liquid to be distilled is placed inside the evaporating flask of the utility model, and the rotary evaporator is started to rotate the evaporating flask, and the water inside the heating pot is heated by the heating module, and the rotating evaporating flask is heated in a water bath, and the heated steam is condensed by the condenser and enters the interior of the finished flask, and when the water level inside the heating pot is reduced to a threshold value, the float will drop, and the rotating rod and the rotating ring will rotate, so that the top ball will push up the sealing ball at the bottom of the water storage tank, and the water inside the water storage tank will leak out through the gap between the sealing ball and the bottom, and enter the heating pot through the water supply trough, and water is added to the inside of the heating pot to make the water level reach the required height, and then the top ball is reset, and the sealing ball is reset due to the action of gravity to prevent water from continuing to flow out. The above process realizes the operation of automatically adding water to the heating pot, achieves the effect of preventing the heating pot from dry burning, and increases the practicality and safety performance of the device.
