Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of material homogenizers, in particular to an ultra-high pressure homogenizer for multi-component mixing. Background Art

[0002] Ultra-high pressure homogenizers are primarily used in the pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries. They process products such as liposomes and fat emulsions. High-pressure homogenizers primarily consist of a high-pressure homogenization chamber and a pressurizing mechanism.

[0003] The interior of the high-pressure homogenization chamber has a specially designed geometric shape. Under the action of the booster mechanism, the high-pressure solution quickly passes through the homogenization chamber. Through the action of mechanical forces such as convection impact, the required processed raw materials are finally homogenized.

[0004] Among them, the Chinese patent (patent number CN203899531U) discloses an ultra-high-pressure homogenizer for multi-component mixing. This Y-shaped flow path is machined from a single solid body; within this solid body, two inlet channels and one or two outlet channels are interconnected through an intermediate channel or intermediate point to form a Y-shaped flow path. The utility model provides an integrated Y-shaped homogenizing chamber, equipped in an ultra-high-pressure homogenizer, with an integrated Y-shaped flow path within the homogenizing chamber. This high-pressure homogenizing chamber has the advantages of high pressure resistance and long service life.

[0005] The collision and crushing efficiency of the two liquids in the above-mentioned homogeneous chamber is low. When the two liquids flow and collide with each other, part of the liquid after the collision will flow back, thereby affecting the impact force of the subsequent liquid flow, reducing the collision force of the two liquids, and thus the crushing effect is poor. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to solve at least one of the technical problems mentioned in the background technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an ultra-high pressure homogenizer for multi-component mixing, which changes the liquid collision angle and reduces the liquid backflow after the collision.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an ultra-high pressure homogenizer for multi-component mixing, comprising a column, wherein at least two feed pipes are provided on one side of the axial side of the column, a horizontal flow pipe connected to the two feed pipes is provided inside the column, and a discharge pipe connected to the horizontal flow pipe is provided on the other side of the axial side of the column, and a collision mechanism is installed on the top wall of the discharge pipe at the connection between the two horizontal flow pipes;

[0008] The collision mechanism includes a positioning column fixedly installed in the column body, and two diversion units for guiding the liquid to flow to both sides are installed on the surface of the column. The two diversion units are adapted to two horizontal flow pipes, and the side walls of the discharge pipe and on both sides of the horizontal flow pipe are fixedly installed with breaking arc plates.

[0009] Furthermore, teeth are fixedly mounted on one side of the crushing arc plate close to the column.

[0010] Furthermore, the diversion unit includes a V-shaped plate, an opening of the V-shaped plate faces the positioning column, and a driving member for driving the V-shaped plate to move axially along the horizontal flow pipe is installed on the positioning column.

[0011] Furthermore, the driving member includes a sealing tube fixedly installed in the positioning column, a plunger is slidably arranged in the sealing tube, the plunger is fixedly connected to the V-shaped plate, liquid is arranged in the sealing tube, and a hydraulic system is arranged at one end of the sealing tube away from the plunger.

[0012] Furthermore, the crushing arc plate is made of diamond, zirconium dioxide, tungsten carbide or tungsten steel.

[0013] Furthermore, a spiral guide plate is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the horizontal flow pipe.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: liquid flowing out of the horizontal flow pipe first contacts the diversion unit. After the diversion action of the diversion unit, the liquid moves toward the crushing arc plate and collides with the crushing arc plate, thereby being crushed on the crushing arc plate. The teeth further enhance the liquid crushing effect. The diversion unit mainly guides the liquid flow toward the crushing arc plate, thereby reducing the collision of the liquid flowing back after the collision with the liquid in the horizontal flow pipe, causing some liquid flowing out of the horizontal flow pipe to collide with the liquid, affecting the crushing effect, and at the same time reducing the flow dynamics of the liquid in the horizontal flow pipe, thereby reducing the liquid collision force.

[0020] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present embodiment provides an ultra-high pressure homogenizer for multi-component mixing, including a column 1, one side of the axial side of the column 1 is provided with at least two feed pipes 2 extending along the axis of the column 1 into the column 1, a horizontal flow pipe 3 connected to the two feed pipes 2 is provided inside the column 1, and a discharge pipe 4 connected to the horizontal flow pipe 3 is provided on the other side of the axial side of the column 1, and the inlet of the discharge pipe 4 is located between the two feed pipes 2.

[0022] The high-pressure homogenizer passes the liquid raw material to be homogenized into the homogenization chamber, and the particles in the raw material are crushed into submicron and nanometer-sized particles through the homogenization chamber. The specific working process is as follows: two portions of raw materials enter through two feed pipes 2 respectively, and then flow into the horizontal flow pipe 3 together. In the horizontal flow pipe 3, the two streams of liquid raw materials meet at the inlet of the discharge pipe 4, and the two liquids flowing in opposite directions collide, thereby enhancing the particle crushing effect.

[0023] During the process of crushing the liquid raw material through the homogenizing chamber, it is sometimes necessary to produce a homogenous liquid by mixing multiple liquids. When two liquids need to be mixed, the two liquids are respectively introduced into two feed pipes 2 for crushing.

[0024] The collision of two liquids produces a more effective pulverization effect than the collision of a liquid with a solid. To further enhance this pulverization, a collision mechanism 5 is installed on the top wall of the discharge pipe 4, at the junction of the two horizontal flow pipes 3. The two liquids flow rapidly from different horizontal flow pipes 3 toward the collision mechanism 5, where they collide with the collision mechanism 5 and are pulverized.

[0025] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 The collision mechanism 5 includes a positioning column 51 fixedly installed in the column 1, and two diversion units 52 for guiding liquid diversion are installed on the surface of the column 1. The two diversion units 52 are adapted to the two horizontal flow pipes 3. The side walls of the discharge pipe 4 and both sides of the horizontal flow pipe 3 are fixedly installed with breaking arc plates 53, and the side of the breaking arc plate 53 close to the column 1 is fixedly installed with teeth 54.

[0026] The crushing arc plate 53 is made of diamond, zirconium dioxide, tungsten carbide or tungsten steel.

[0027] Liquid flowing out of the horizontal flow pipe 3 first contacts the diverter unit 52. Through the diversion effect of the diverter unit 52, the liquid moves toward the crushing arc plate 53, where it collides with the crushing arc plate 53, causing it to be crushed on the crushing arc plate 53. The teeth 54 further enhance the liquid crushing effect. The diverter unit 52 primarily guides the liquid toward the crushing arc plate 53, thereby reducing the collision of the liquid flowing back after the collision with the liquid in the horizontal flow pipe 3. This can cause some liquid flowing out of the horizontal flow pipe 3 to collide with the liquid, affecting the crushing effect. It also reduces the flow dynamics of the liquid in the horizontal flow pipe 3, thereby reducing the liquid collision force.

[0028] See also Figure 3 The flow diversion unit 52 includes a V-shaped plate 55 , the opening of the V-shaped plate 55 faces the positioning column 51 , and a driving member 56 is installed on the positioning column 51 for driving the V-shaped plate 55 to move axially along the horizontal flow pipe 3 .

[0029] After the liquid in the horizontal flow pipe 3 contacts the V-shaped plate 55, it is drained through the V-shaped plate 55 and the liquid is drained to contact the crushing arc plate 53, thereby reducing the backflow of the liquid and improving the collision and crushing efficiency. The driving member 56 can drive the V-shaped plate 55 to approach the outlet of the horizontal flow pipe 3, thereby limiting the flow of the liquid. The closer the V-shaped plate 55 is to the outlet of the horizontal flow pipe 3, the smaller the unit flow rate of the liquid will be, thereby controlling the flow ratio of the two different liquids, that is, controlling the mixing ratio.

[0030] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 The driving member 56 includes a sealing tube 57 fixedly installed in the positioning column 51, a plunger 58 is slidably arranged in the sealing tube 57, the plunger 58 is fixedly connected to the V-shaped plate 55, liquid is arranged in the sealing tube 57, and a hydraulic system is arranged at the end of the sealing tube 57 away from the plunger 58.

[0031] The hydraulic system is used to adjust the liquid pressure in the sealing tube 57 , thereby adjusting the position of the plunger 58 in the sealing tube 57 , thereby driving the V-shaped plate 55 to move along the axis of the horizontal flow pipe 3 .

[0032] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 To change the direction of the liquid flow in the horizontal flow pipe 3, the liquid is dispersed after colliding with the crushing arc plate 53, thereby increasing the crushing efficiency. A spiral guide plate 6 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the horizontal flow pipe 3. When the liquid flows in the horizontal flow pipe 3, it is guided by the spiral guide plate 6 and moves in the direction of the collision mechanism 5. This increases the number of collision directions of the liquid and improves the crushing effect.

[0033] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations that come within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims be embraced within the present invention.
