Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a storage and transportation system for low-temperature easily crystallizable viscous materials, belonging to the technical field of viscous material transfer. Background Art
[0002] Viscosity refers to the fluidity (or non-fluidity) of a substance, and any fluid has viscosity. Among them, the viscosity of a liquid is an important measure of its resistance to shearing force, and viscosity can only be reflected in the initial state and continuous flow of the substance. Viscosity affects the flow of a substance. When the viscosity is relatively large, a greater force is required to push the fluid to move. Some fluids with high viscosity are prone to crystallization in a low-temperature environment, such as honey, vegetable oil, glycerol, syrup, resin, grease, etc.
[0003] When industrially transporting low-temperature easily crystallizable viscous materials, pipeline transportation is usually adopted. When the temperature is relatively low during transportation, the materials transported inside the pipeline are prone to crystallization, affecting the transportation system. In severe cases, it will cause pipeline blockage and affect the production process. Therefore, it is necessary to design a storage and transportation system for low-temperature easily crystallizable viscous materials to ensure that no crystallization occurs during the transportation of low-temperature easily crystallizable viscous materials and that they can flow inside the pipeline with a relatively low viscosity. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is as follows: to provide a storage and transportation system for low-temperature easily crystallizable viscous materials, which solves the problems of inconvenient transportation and easy crystallization of low-temperature easily crystallizable viscous materials during transportation.
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is achieved by adopting the following technical solutions: a storage and transportation system for low-temperature easily crystallizable viscous materials, including
[0006] a storage tank and a transportation pipeline,
[0007] The storage tank is internally provided with low-temperature easily crystallizable viscous materials, and the transportation pipeline is connected to the storage tank.
[0008] A heating device is arranged on the outer sides of the storage tank and the transportation pipeline, and the transportation pipeline is provided with a conveying device;
[0009] The heating device covers the surfaces of the storage tank and the transportation pipeline, and the conveying device can move the low-temperature easily crystallizable viscous materials from inside the storage tank into the transportation pipeline for transportation.
[0010] Preferably, the heating device includes a steam source, a steam pipeline, and a steam jacket; one end of the steam pipeline is connected to the steam source, and the other end is connected to the steam jacket. The steam jacket is arranged on the outer sides of the storage tank and the transportation pipeline, and the steam pipeline is provided with a steam valve.
[0011] Preferably, the transportation pipeline includes a discharge pipeline and a reflux pipeline. One end of the discharge pipeline is connected to the storage tank, and the other end is provided with a three-way valve. The other end of the three-way valve is connected to the reflux pipeline, and the other end of the reflux pipeline is connected to the storage tank.
[0012] Preferably, the conveying device includes a gear pump. The gear pump is arranged in the discharge pipeline, and the gear pump transports the low-temperature easily crystallizable viscous material in the conveying pipeline.
[0013] Preferably, the three-way valve is provided with a discharge port.
[0014] Preferably, when discharging, the three-way valve closes the reflux pipeline and opens the discharge pipeline and the discharge port; when not discharging, the three-way valve closes the discharge port and opens the discharge pipeline and the reflux pipeline.
[0015] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0016] (1) Through the present utility model, a steam jacket is provided on the surfaces of the storage tank and the transportation pipeline. The steam jacket covers the entire transportation link of the material and can heat the material. The material is prone to crystallization in a low-temperature environment, that is, crystals precipitate in the solution, and the crystals are prone to accumulation, affecting the transportation system. In severe cases, it will cause pipeline blockage and interfere with the production process. Therefore, a steam jacket is provided on the surfaces of the storage tank and the transportation pipeline, which can avoid crystal precipitation and improve production efficiency.
[0017] (2) Through the present utility model, a gear pump is used in the transportation pipeline. The gear pump has a simple structure and a low price; the working requirements are low, and it still has good efficiency when transporting materials with a relatively high viscosity. The gear pump is prone to wear when transporting materials containing crystals inside. Also, because a steam jacket is provided on the surfaces of the transportation pipeline and the storage tank, the temperature of the material is increased, so crystals do not form inside the material. Using a pump that can transport materials containing crystals inside has a high cost and lower efficiency than a gear pump.
[0018] (3) Through the present utility model, a three-way valve is provided between the discharge pipeline and the reflux pipe sleeve. The three-way valve can discharge materials from the discharge port when discharging is required, and can close the discharge port when discharging is not required, and return the materials in the transportation pipeline to the storage tank through the reflux pipeline. It reduces the accumulation of materials in the pipeline and avoids crystallization. Description of the Drawings

[0021] For the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and effects of the present utility model to be easily understood, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0022] In industrial production and transportation, the properties of some materials are relatively viscous, and they are prone to crystallization at low temperatures. During the transportation of the materials, due to the high viscosity, the transportation difficulty increases. When the materials crystallize, the crystals are likely to accumulate in the pipeline, hindering the flow of the materials in the pipeline. In severe cases, the entire pipeline is easily blocked, seriously affecting production. At this time, a large amount of water is required to unclog the blocked pipeline, wasting water resources. Therefore, it is very important to design a storage and transportation system that can prevent materials from crystallizing at low temperatures.
[0023] Embodiment 1
[0024] As Figure 1 shown, a storage and transportation system for low-temperature easily crystallizable viscous materials includes a storage tank 1 and a transportation pipeline. The storage tank 1 stores the materials required in the production process. The properties of the materials are that they are prone to crystallization at low temperatures and have a high viscosity and are not easy to flow.
[0025] A heating device is provided outside the storage tank 1 and the transportation pipeline, which can increase the temperature of the materials and avoid meeting the requirements for material crystallization. In this embodiment, the heating device includes a steam source 31, a steam pipeline 32, and a steam jacket 33, where the steam jacket 33 covers the surfaces of the storage tank 1 and the transportation pipeline.
[0026] The steam source 31 provides steam, and the steam flows into the steam jacket 33 from the steam pipeline 32. A steam valve 34 is provided in the steam pipeline 32, and the steam valve 34 can control whether the steam enters the steam jacket 33. The steam flows from the steam source 31 into the steam jacket 33 and flows inside the steam jacket 33, and then flows back into the steam source 31 from the steam jacket 33, reducing waste of resources.
[0027] The storage tank 1 is divided into a bracket and a storage chamber. The low-temperature easily crystallizable viscous materials are stored in the storage chamber. The bracket provides support for the storage chamber. An outlet interface is provided at the bottom of the storage chamber, and the outlet interface is connected to the transportation pipeline. A reflux interface is provided at the top of the storage chamber, and the reflux interface is connected to a reflux pipeline. In this embodiment, the storage chamber is cylindrical, and the steam jacket 33 provided in the storage tank 1 is circumferentially attached to the surface of the storage chamber.
[0028] The transportation pipeline includes a discharge pipeline 21 and a reflux pipeline 22. One end of the discharge pipeline 21 is connected to the discharge interface at the bottom of the storage tank 1, and the other end of the discharge pipeline 21 is provided with a three-way valve 23. One end of the reflux pipeline 22 is connected to the reflux interface at the top of the storage tank 1, and the other end of the reflux pipeline 22 is connected to the other end of the three-way valve 23.
[0029] A conveying device is provided at the discharge pipeline 21. Since the viscosity of the material is relatively high, its flow rate is slow, so a conveying device is needed to provide power for the flow of the material to accelerate the flow rate of the material; at the same time, it provides power for the reflux of the material. In this embodiment, the conveying device adopts a gear pump 24, and the low-temperature easily crystallizable viscous material flows in the transportation pipeline under the guidance of the gear pump 24.
[0030] The three-way valve 23 is provided with a discharge port. When the three-way valve 23 is in the closed state, only the discharge pipeline 21 and the reflux pipeline 22 are opened, and the discharge port is closed. The low-temperature easily crystallizable viscous material flows out from the discharge pipeline 21, and after passing through the three-way valve 23, it flows into the reflux pipeline 22. When the three-way valve 23 is in the open state, only the discharge pipeline 21 and the discharge port are opened, and the reflux pipeline 22 is closed. The low-temperature easily crystallizable viscous material flows in the discharge pipeline 21 and flows out from the discharge port. When it is necessary to obtain the low-temperature easily crystallizable viscous material in the storage tank 1, the three-way valve 23 is switched from the closed state to the open state, and at this time, the low-temperature easily crystallizable viscous material can be obtained from the discharge port; when the obtained material meets the requirement, the three-way valve 23 is switched from the open state to the closed state.
[0031] A three-way valve 23 is provided in the transportation pipeline, which can ensure that the low-temperature easily crystallizable viscous material is in a flowing state. The three-way valve 23 is opened when it is necessary to obtain the low-temperature easily crystallizable viscous material, and the three-way valve 23 is closed when it is not necessary to obtain the low-temperature easily crystallizable viscous material. This reduces the crystallization of the low-temperature easily crystallizable viscous material and ensures that there is no crystal accumulation in the transportation pipeline.
[0032] A steam jacket 33 is provided on the surface of the transportation pipeline, and the steam jacket 33 covers the surfaces of the discharge pipeline 21 and the reflux pipeline 22. Steam flows in the steam jacket 33 to provide heat for the transportation pipeline and heat the low-temperature easily crystallizable viscous material inside the transportation pipeline to prevent the material from crystallizing.
[0033] The steam source 31 provides steam, and the steam enters the steam jacket 33 through the steam pipeline 32. The steam first passes through the storage tank 1 in the steam jacket 33, flows on the surface of the storage tank 1 and then enters the steam jacket 33 provided on the surface of the discharge pipeline 21. After passing through the discharge pipeline 21, it flows into the steam jacket 33 on the surface of the reflux pipeline 22, and finally enters the steam jacket 33 of the storage tank 1 and flows back to the steam source 31 from the steam jacket 33 of the storage tank 1. The flow of steam from the steam source 31 through the steam pipeline 32 to the steam jacket 33 is unidirectional, and finally it flows back to the steam source 31 from the steam jacket 33.
[0034] The low-temperature easily crystallizable viscous material is stored in the storage tank 1 and transported through the discharge pipeline 21. During the storage and transportation of the low-temperature easily crystallizable viscous material, steam heating is adopted to prevent the low-temperature easily crystallizable viscous material from crystallizing due to temperature reduction and reduce the impact of material crystallization on the production process. A gear pump 24 is used to provide power for the low-temperature easily crystallizable viscous material during transportation. When the transported material does not contain crystalline substances, the transportation cost is relatively low and the transportation efficiency is relatively high. A three-way valve 23 is adopted in the transportation pipeline to ensure the continuous flow of the low-temperature easily crystallizable viscous material and prevent heat from not being transferred to some positions, resulting in crystallization due to temperature reduction.
[0035] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model, various changes and improvements will occur to the present utility model, and all these changes and improvements fall within the scope of protection required by the present utility model. The scope of protection required by the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
