[0020] Next, in combination with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments.
[0021] Refer to Figures 1-3 , an air-cooled chemical crystallization kettle, including a crystallization kettle main body 1, a sandwich is arranged in the crystallization kettle main body 1, and heat exchange tubes 2 are arranged in the sandwich. The heat exchange tubes 2 are spiral flat tubes and are closely attached to one side of the sandwich close to the inner wall of the crystallization kettle main body 1. The heat exchange tubes 2 are communicated with an external circulation component, and a heat exchange component is also arranged in the crystallization kettle main body 1;
[0022] The heat exchange component includes a vertical tube 3 located in the crystallization kettle main body 1. A plurality of stirring components are arranged on the vertical tube 3. A plurality of horizontal tubes 4 are also fixedly connected to the vertical tube 3. Both ends of the horizontal tube 4 are communicated with the stirring component and the heat exchange tube 2 respectively. A return air pipe 5 is arranged at the upper end of the vertical tube 3, and the return air pipe 5 is communicated with the external circulation component;
[0023] In this design, the gaseous refrigerant is transported into the heat exchange tube 2 by the external circulation component. The heat exchange tube 2 is used to reduce the temperature of the inner wall of the crystallization kettle main body 1, so as to form crystals on the inner wall of the crystallization kettle main body 1. At this time, the temperature of the gaseous refrigerant will also rise, and the gaseous refrigerant will flow into the stirring component through the horizontal tube 4, and then flow from the stirring component to the return air pipe 5. During the reflux process of the gaseous refrigerant, it will drive the stirring component to operate, and then drive the solution in the crystallization kettle main body 1 to flow to the inner wall of the crystallization kettle main body 1, so that the components that need to be crystallized at low temperature in the solution flow to the inner wall of the crystallization kettle main body 1. On the other hand, during the reflux process of the gaseous refrigerant, although the temperature of the gaseous refrigerant that has been heat-exchanged has risen, its temperature is still lower than the temperature of the solution in the crystallization kettle main body 1, and heat exchange can still be carried out during the reflux process to reduce the overall temperature of the solution, and the components that need to be crystallized at low temperature will not crystallize on the horizontal tube 4 or the vertical tube 3.
[0024] Furthermore, the stirring component includes an inner tube 6 communicated with the horizontal tube 4. The inner tube 6 is communicated with a connecting head 7. The connecting head 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the vertical tube 3. An outer ring 8 is rotatably connected to the connecting head 7, and the outer ring 8 is slidably connected to the vertical tube 3. Stirring rods 9 are fixedly connected to the outer ring 8. A plurality of inclined blades 10 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer ring 8. An air outlet pipe is also communicated with the upper end of the connecting head 7, and the air outlet pipe is communicated with the return air pipe 5;
[0025] The connector 7 at the bottom is columnar, and the connectors 7 above the connector 7 are all annular. The return air pipe 5 needs to pass through the connector 7, and the horizontal pipe 4 is used not only to transport the gaseous refrigerant to the connector 7, but also to fix the vertical pipe 3 and the connector 7. The return air pipe 5 is arranged inside the vertical pipe 3 and is used to connect multiple connectors 7, and the return air pipe 5 will pass through the columnar connector 7;
[0026] Based on the above design, when cooling is performed using the gaseous refrigerant, the gaseous refrigerant flows toward the connector 7 through the transverse pipe 4, and flows upward in the connector 7. At this time, the gaseous refrigerant cooperates with the blades 10 to drive the outer ring 8 to rotate, thereby causing the stirring component to operate. Subsequently, the gaseous refrigerant flows into the return air pipe 5 through the outlet pipe. More specifically, after the gaseous refrigerant enters the transverse pipe 4, it flows into the connector 7, and then enters the return air pipe 5. In the process of flowing through the connector 7, the outer ring 8 is driven to rotate by the blades 10. A plurality of stirring components are arranged on the vertical pipe 3, wherein the vertical pipe 3 is interrupted, and the vertical pipe 3 in the middle part needs to be fixed by the transverse pipe 4.
[0027] Furthermore, the external circulation component includes a cooling device, the cooling device is provided with a centrifugal pump 11, and the centrifugal pump 11 is connected to the heat exchange pipe 2 through a pipeline, and the return air pipe 5 is connected to the cooling device;
[0028] In this design, the centrifugal pump 11 is used to pressurize the gaseous refrigerant, and the cooling device can adopt the existing technology.
[0029] Furthermore, a one-way valve 12 is provided on the return air pipe 5, and a side wall of the return air pipe 5 close to the one-way valve 12 is connected to an intake pipe 13, the intake pipe 13 is connected to a compressor, and an electric control valve 14 is provided on the pipe;
[0030] In this design, by setting a one-way valve 12 to cooperate with the air intake pipe 13 and the compressor, the user can use the compressor to compress the air and then let it pass through the air intake pipe 13 and then return to the air pipe 5 to flow upward and downward, so that the high-pressure air drives the stirring component to operate, and then achieves the effect of improving the mixing and reaction of the solution in the crystallization kettle body 1 by using the stirring component, which is suitable for the reaction operation before the crystallization operation, and the electric control valve 14 is set to prevent the high-pressure air from entering the external circulation component, but to discharge the high-pressure air to the outside at this time.
[0031] Furthermore, a heating device is provided on the air inlet pipe 13, and the heating device can heat the air delivered to the crystallization kettle body 1 through the compressor, thereby achieving the purpose of quickly heating the temperature of the solution in the crystallization kettle body 1;
[0032] Furthermore, the electric control valve 14 is a three-way valve, and the electric control valve 14 is also connected to a gas collecting pipe 15. When heating the solution with high-temperature air, the high-temperature air needs to be collected by the gas collecting pipe 15 and circulated to avoid heat waste.
