Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of emulsion preparation, and specifically relates to a stable suction high-pressure homogenizer for emulsion preparation. Background Technique

[0002] A high-pressure homogenizer mainly consists of a high-pressure homogenization chamber and a pressurization mechanism. The homogenization chamber is provided with a feed inlet and a discharge outlet. A circulation mechanism is connected between the feed inlet and the discharge outlet. The circulation mechanism includes a storage hopper fixed on the body of the homogenizer, and the discharge outlet is communicated with the storage hopper through a discharge pipe. The interior of the high-pressure homogenization chamber has a specially designed geometric shape. Under the action of the pressurization mechanism, the high-pressure solution quickly passes through the homogenization chamber, and the material will be simultaneously subjected to mechanical forces such as high-speed shearing, high-frequency vibration, cavitation phenomenon, and convective impact, as well as corresponding thermal effects. The mechanical and chemical effects caused thereby can induce physical, chemical, and structural property changes in the macromolecules of the material, and finally achieve the homogenization effect, which is mainly applied to emulsion production;

[0003] In the Chinese utility model patent with the publication number CN218189337U, an efficient emulsion preparation homogenizer is disclosed, including: a high-pressure homogenizer and a high-speed homogenizer. The discharge end of the high-speed homogenizer is connected to a first sample introduction tank, and the first sample introduction tank is communicated with the feed pipe of the high-pressure homogenizer through a connecting pipe, and a second sample introduction tank is provided on the connecting pipe.

[0004] Regarding the above-related technologies, the inventor believes that there are the following defects: Although the high-pressure homogenizer and the high-speed homogenizer are connected as a whole, so that the homogenized material is immediately subjected to high-pressure homogenization after high-speed homogenization, improving the efficiency of emulsion preparation and reducing the loss and pollution during the material transfer process. However, most emulsions need to use secondary pressure to perform cyclic homogenization of the emulsion at different pressures during homogenization. The high-speed homogenizer and the high-pressure homogenizer only solve the problem of preventing loss and pollution during the transfer of the emulsion from rough homogenization to high-pressure homogenization, and cannot achieve automatic cyclic homogenization. When performing multi-stage and multi-level pressure homogenization on the emulsion, it is still necessary to readjust the pressure after one homogenization and then perform secondary homogenization. The operation process is relatively cumbersome, which not only delays the user's time, but also increases the probability of emulsion loss due to the long manual operation time, reducing the efficiency of emulsion homogenization;

[0005] Therefore, those skilled in the art have proposed a stable suction high-pressure homogenizer for emulsion preparation to solve the problems raised in the background technique. Content of the Utility Model

The operation process is rather cumbersome, which not only delays the user's time, but also increases the probability of emulsion loss due to the long manual operation time, reducing the efficiency of emulsion homogenization.

[0035] The following further describes in detail the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present utility model, but cannot be used to limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0036] Example 1: As shown in Figure 1 to Figure 5 shown: The present utility model provides a stable suction high-pressure homogenizer for emulsion preparation, including a high-pressure homogenizer body 1 and a material control valve 4. A material control component for circulating and homogenizing the emulsion is arranged inside the material control valve 4; the material control component includes a rotating shaft 7, a butterfly valve plate 8, a connecting rope 18, a buoyancy seat 20 and a balance ball 22. Two groups of hinge seats 17 are connected to the surfaces of the butterfly valve plate 8 and the buoyancy seat 20. Two groups of hinge rods 16 are arranged between the two groups of hinge seats 17. The two groups of hinge rods 16 are connected by a connecting rope 18. A telescopic spring 19 is connected between the two groups of hinge rods 16, and the telescopic spring 19 is adapted to the position of the connecting rope 18. A fixed rod 15 is connected to the inner side wall of the material control valve 4. The outer side surface of the fixed rod 15 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 7. The rotating shaft 7 is arranged in two groups, and there is a gap between the two groups of rotating shafts 7. The two groups of butterfly valve plates 8 are connected to the two groups of rotating shafts 7. The butterfly valve plates 8 rotate in the same direction through the rotating shafts 7. An arc-shaped groove adapted to the size of the butterfly valve plate 8 is opened on the inner side wall of the material control valve 4. When the butterfly valve plate 8 rotates downward, it swings along the arc-shaped groove. When the butterfly valve plate 8 returns to the horizontal position, it is stuck by the arc-shaped groove, and the butterfly valve plate 8 no longer rotates upward in the reverse direction. A tightening bolt 21 is connected between the buoyancy seat 20 and the balance ball 22. The tightening bolt 21 is threadedly connected to the balance ball 22. The size and weight of the balance ball 22 can be replaced, and the material of the balance ball 22 is stainless steel.

[0037] As can be seen from the above, when it is necessary to perform high-pressure homogenization operations on the emulsion in a cycle, pour the emulsion to be homogenized into the storage tank 2. After placing the connector 3 into the storage tank 2, install the fixed cover 5. Connect the circulation pipe 6 to the fixed cover 5 and the liquid outlet 13. Connect the pressure valve 10 to the connection valve 12. Turn on the high-pressure homogenizer body 1 and control the operation of the high-pressure homogenizer body 1 through the operation panel. After adjusting the pressure required for emulsion homogenization by rotating the pressure valve 10, wait for the emulsion to be gradually homogenized. During the operation of the high-pressure homogenizer body 1, the emulsion enters the high-pressure chamber from the storage tank 2 through the one-way valve. The sample is pressurized by the expansion and contraction of the plunger to reach the regulated high pressure. It is instantaneously released through a limiting flow gap with a specific width to form a microjet that impacts the impact valve or the homogenization valve 11, and successively undergoes the effects of cavitation, impact, and shearing to achieve the purpose of emulsifying and dispersing the material and the cell crusher. During the emulsion homogenization process, the emulsion in the connector 3 gradually decreases. The homogenized emulsion is drawn into the fixed cover 5 through the circulation pipe 6. The emulsion falls on the upper surface of the butterfly valve plate 8. The balance ball 22 moves downward due to gravity, and the decrease in buoyancy causes the buoyancy seat 20 to move downward. The buoyancy seat 20 drives the connecting rope 18 to be pulled, and the telescopic spring 19 deforms. When the emulsion is approaching the completion of homogenization, the butterfly valve plate 8 is pulled downward by the connecting rope 18, and the butterfly valve plate 8 rotates along the rotating shaft 7. When the butterfly valve plate 8 rotates downward, it swings along the arc-shaped groove. The emulsion that has been homogenized for the first time falls into the connector 3 again, and the emulsion starts to circulate and be homogenized. During this process, the pressure required for secondary homogenization of the emulsion can be changed by adjusting the pressure valve 10. When the emulsion reaches the required homogenization pressure and homogenization times, stop the operation of the high-pressure homogenizer body 1 through the operation panel.

[0038] Example 2: On the basis of Example 1, a stable suction high-pressure homogenizer for emulsion preparation includes a high-pressure homogenizer body 1 and a material control valve 4. A material control component for circulating and homogenizing the emulsion is arranged inside the material control valve 4; the material control component includes a rotating shaft 7, a butterfly valve plate 8, a connecting rope 18, a buoyancy seat 20, and a balance ball 22. Two hinge seats 17 are connected to the surfaces of the butterfly valve plate 8 and the buoyancy seat 20. Two hinge rods 16 are arranged between the two hinge seats 17. The two hinge rods 16 are connected by a connecting rope 18. A telescopic spring 19 is connected between the two hinge rods 16. The telescopic spring 19 is adapted to the position of the connecting rope 18. A fixing rod 15 is connected to the inner side wall of the material control valve 4. The outer side surface of the fixing rod 15 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 7. Two rotating shafts 7 are provided. There is a gap between the two rotating shafts 7. The two butterfly valve plates 8 are connected to the two rotating shafts 7. The butterfly valve plates 8 rotate and flip in the same direction through the rotating shafts 7. An arc-shaped groove adapted to the size of the butterfly valve plate 8 is opened on the inner side wall of the material control valve 4. When the butterfly valve plate 8 rotates downward, it swings along the arc-shaped groove. When the butterfly valve plate 8 returns to the horizontal position, it is stuck by the arc-shaped groove and the butterfly valve plate 8 no longer flips upward in the reverse direction. A fastening bolt 21 is connected between the buoyancy seat 20 and the balance ball 22. The fastening bolt 21 is threadedly connected to the balance ball 22. The size and weight of the balance ball 22 can be replaced. The material of the balance ball 22 is stainless steel. A homogenizing valve 11 is connected to the side of the high-pressure homogenizer body 1. A storage tank 2 is connected to the upper end of the homogenizing valve 11. One end of the material control valve 4 is provided with a connector 3. The inner diameter size of the connector 3 is adapted to that of the storage tank 2. The diameter of the connector 3 matches the inner diameter of the storage tank 2 to ensure that the connector 3 can completely extend into the storage tank 2. A fixing cover 5 is threadedly fitted to the upper end of the material control valve 4. One end of the fixing cover 5 is connected to a liquid circulation pipe 6. Both ends of the liquid circulation pipe 6 are provided with connectors, and the connectors are threadedly fitted to the upper end of the fixing cover 5. One end of the homogenizing valve 11 is provided with a connecting valve 12. A liquid outlet 13 is arranged at the lower end of the connecting valve 12. The liquid outlet 13 is threadedly fitted to the connector. A pressure valve 10 is threadedly fitted to one end of the connecting valve 12. The tightness of the connection between the pressure valve 10 and the connecting valve 12 controls the pressure inside the high-pressure homogenizer body 1 during operation. A telescopic support 9 is connected to the outer side surface of the material control valve 4. One end of the telescopic support 9 is connected to a magnetic attraction block 14.

[0039] As can be seen from the above, when it is necessary to perform high-pressure homogenization operations on the emulsion in a cycle, pour the emulsion to be homogenized into the storage tank 2. After placing the connector 3 into the storage tank 2, pull out the telescopic support 9, fit the magnetic block 14 to the high-pressure homogenizer body 1, the connector 3 is fixed in the storage tank 2, install the fixed cover 5, connect the circulation pipe 6 to the fixed cover 5 and the liquid outlet 13, connect the pressure valve 10 to the connection valve 12, turn on the high-pressure homogenizer body 1, control the operation of the high-pressure homogenizer body 1 through the operation panel. After adjusting the pressure required for emulsion homogenization by rotating the pressure valve 10, wait for the emulsion to be gradually homogenized. During the operation of the high-pressure homogenizer body 1, the emulsion enters the high-pressure chamber from the storage tank 2 through the one-way valve. The sample is pressurized by the reciprocating movement of the plunger to reach the regulated high pressure, and is instantaneously released through a restricted flow gap of a specific width to form a microjet that impacts the impact valve or the homogenization valve 11, and successively undergoes the effects of cavitation, impact, and shearing to achieve the emulsification and dispersion of the material and the purpose of the cell crusher. During the emulsion homogenization process, the emulsion in the connector 3 gradually decreases. The homogenized emulsion is drawn into the fixed cover 5 through the circulation pipe 6. The emulsion falls on the upper surface of the butterfly valve plate 8. The balance ball 22 moves downward due to gravity, and the decrease in buoyancy causes the buoyancy seat 20 to move downward. The buoyancy seat 20 drives the connecting rope 18 to be pulled, and the telescopic spring 19 deforms. When the emulsion is approaching the completion of homogenization, the butterfly valve plate 8 is pulled downward by the connecting rope 18, and the butterfly valve plate 8 rotates along the rotating shaft 7. When the butterfly valve plate 8 rotates downward, it swings along the arc-shaped groove. The emulsion that has been homogenized for the first time falls into the connector 3 again, and the emulsion starts to circulate and be homogenized. During this process, the pressure required for the secondary homogenization of the emulsion can be changed by adjusting the pressure valve 10. When the emulsion reaches the required homogenization pressure and homogenization times, stop the operation of the high-pressure homogenizer body 1 through the operation panel.
