Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of degassing kettles, and more specifically, to a high-efficiency degassing kettle for preparing chitosan fibers. Background Technique

[0002] During the preparation of chitosan spinning dope, air bubbles may be mixed in. The presence of air bubbles will increase the resistance during the spinning process, resulting in wire breakage, affecting the stability of the spinning process and the quality of the fibers. After using a degassing kettle to remove air bubbles, the wire breakage rate can be significantly reduced, and thus the prepared chitosan fibers have higher quality and better physical and chemical stability.

[0003] In the existing degassing kettles, due to the high viscosity of the solution, it is difficult for air bubbles to disperse and escape, resulting in low degassing efficiency. Often, the air bubbles in the chitosan solution cannot be completely removed, and the residual air bubbles will affect the stability of the subsequent process and the final quality of the product. Moreover, the stirring device of the traditional degassing kettle may have the problem of uneven stirring, resulting in uneven distribution of air bubbles in the material. The air bubble content is high in some areas and low in some areas, and uneven stirring will affect the degassing effect. Content of the Utility Model

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] The present utility model provides as Figure 1-6An efficient defoaming kettle for preparing chitosan fibers as shown includes a kettle body 1 and a kettle lid 2 capable of closing the kettle body 1. A vacuum extraction pipe 3 is connected to the kettle lid 2. The vacuum extraction pipe 3 is connected to a vacuum pump (the vacuum pump is not shown in the figure). A pressure gauge 3.1 is provided on the vacuum extraction pipe 3. A pressure regulating valve 4 is installed on the kettle lid 2. A stirring motor 5 is installed on the kettle lid 2. The stirring motor 5 drives a stirring shaft 5.1 extending into the kettle body 1. A first stirring unit, a plurality of second stirring units, and two third stirring units are installed on the stirring shaft 5.1. A frame part 6 is also installed on the stirring shaft 5.1. The frame part 6 includes an upper ring part 6.1, a lower ring part 6.2, and two U-shaped connecting rods 6.3 connecting the upper ring part 6.1 and the lower ring part 6.2. A plurality of cross bars 6.4 are connected to the U-shaped connecting rods 6.3. The cross bars 6.4 have first cutting edges. The U-shaped connecting rods 6.3 have vertical vertical rods 6.5. The vertical rods 6.5 have second cutting edges. The upper ring part 6.1 and the stirring shaft 5.1 are connected by an upper bearing 6.6. The lower ring part 6.2 and the stirring shaft 5.1 are connected by a lower bearing 6.7.

[0034] The first stirring unit includes a first ring part 7.1 and a plurality of stirring blades 7.2 fixed to the first ring part 7.1. The second stirring unit includes a second ring part 8.1 and a plurality of stirring rods 8.2 fixed to the second ring part 8.1. The third stirring unit includes a third ring part 9.1 and a plurality of rotating rods 9.2 fixed to the third ring part 9.1.

[0035] Working principle: For the defoaming kettle of this application, defoaming is achieved while stirring and extracting vacuum. During stirring, the first stirring unit can make the material rise, and when it rises to a certain extent, it falls under the action of gravity, so as to realize the rotation of the material while rising and then falling to achieve circulation. The stirring rods of the second stirring unit achieve a stirring effect on the material. The spike parts, the first cutting edges, and the second cutting edges achieve piercing of the bubbles. The gas is pumped away by the vacuum pump, thus ensuring the effective removal of the bubbles.

The frame part will also rotate to a certain extent under the action of the rotating material, but it does not rotate synchronously with the stirring shaft, so that the rotating material can better contact the first cutting edge and the second cutting edge, realizing the rupture of bubbles.
