DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe 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 the embodiments. 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] In order to further understand the content of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] Combine Figure 1-Figure 5 The cooling crystallization device for producing β-nicotinamide mononucleotide includes a crystallization kettle 1 and a separation tank 2. The output end of the crystallization kettle 1 is connected to the separation tank 2 through a pipeline. A valve is provided on the connecting pipeline between the crystallization kettle 1 and the separation tank 2. After the β-nicotinamide mononucleotide mother liquor crystallizes in the crystallization kettle 1, the remaining mother liquor and crystals are controlled by the valve and flow to the separation tank 2 under the action of gravity to separate the mother liquor and crystals.
[0023] Specifically, a segmented cooling jacket 11 is provided on the outer wall of the crystallization kettle 1, which is divided into three independent temperature control zones along the axial direction of the crystallization kettle 1. The refrigerant flow in each zone is adjusted by a PID controller to achieve gradient cooling. At the same time, a spiral guide plate 111 is provided in the segmented cooling jacket 11 to force the solution to flow along a spiral path to eliminate temperature stratification. In addition, an online temperature sensor group is distributed axially and radially on the kettle body of the crystallization kettle 1 to provide real-time feedback of temperature data.
[0024] In addition, a stirring assembly 12 is provided in the crystallization kettle 1, and the stirring assembly 12 includes a stirring shaft 121, a stirring paddle 122 and a U-shaped scraper 123. The lower end of the stirring shaft 121 is provided with a U-shaped scraper 123 that is in contact with the inner wall of the crystallization kettle 1. The stirring shaft 121 above the U-shaped scraper 123 is connected to the stirring paddle 122. The stirring shaft 121 rotates under the drive of the motor, driving the stirring paddle 122 to stir the mother liquor to avoid local supercooling. At the same time, the U-shaped scraper 123 can scrape off the mother liquor and crystals adhered to the crystallization kettle 1.
[0025] More specifically, the separation tank 2 is arranged vertically to the crystallization kettle 1, a screening net 21 is provided in the separation tank 2, a crystal outlet 22 is provided on one side of the separation tank 2, and a liquid outlet 23 is provided at the lower end of the separation tank 2. The crystals screened by the screening net 21 are discharged through the crystal outlet 22, and the remaining mother liquor is recovered from the liquid outlet 23.
[0026] It should be noted that rotating shafts 211 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the screening net 21, and a sliding hole 24 matching the rotating shaft 211 is provided on the inner wall of the separation tank 2. The rotating shaft 211 moves in the sliding hole 24, and an elastic member 241 is provided in the corresponding sliding hole 24. In this embodiment, the elastic member 241 is a spring structure, and the rotating shaft 211 fixes the position of the screening net 21 under the upper and lower support of the elastic member 241. Arc plates 212 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the screening net 21 near the elastic member 241. The arc plates 212 are used to protect the crystals from being thrown out of the screening net 21. One end of the screening net 21 is connected to a driving motor 214 through a universal shaft 213. The driving motor 214 is arranged on the outer wall of the crystallization kettle 1, and the driving motor 214 drives the two sides of the screening net 21 to swing back and forth The mother liquor and the crystals are screened. A short shaft 218 is provided at the other end of the screening net 21. The short shaft 218 passes through the crystal outlet 22 and is connected to a lifting rod 215 on the outside of the separation tank 2 through a universal shaft 213. The lifting rod 215 is connected to one end of the universal shaft 213 through a bearing. The lifting rod 215 can drive the short shaft 218 to move up and down, and the inclination angle of the two ends of the screening net 21 is controlled by the short shaft 218. Specifically, when screening is performed, one end of the screening net 21 with the short shaft 218 is higher than the other end of the screening net 21. Under the action of gravity, the mother liquor moves to the end of the separation tank 2 away from the crystal outlet 22. When discharging crystals, one end of the screening net 21 with the short shaft 218 is lower than the other end of the screening net 21, which facilitates the discharge of crystals from the crystal outlet 22.
[0027] In order to further remove the mother liquid on the surface of the crystal and improve the discharge speed of the crystals of the screening net 21, a wedge bar 216 is provided on the screening net 21, and the side of the wedge bar 216 with a higher position is close to the lifting rod 215. When the driving motor 214 rotates forward and reverse, it drives the two sides of the screening net 21 to swing, and the crystals and mother liquid are screened back and forth in the middle position of the wedge bar 216. The inclined screening net 21 and the wedge bar 216 can prevent the mother liquid from diffusing to the crystal outlet 22. An air jet 217 is provided in the wedge bar 216. The air jet 217 discharges the gas from the side with a higher position of the wedge bar 216. When the crystals are discharged, the side with a higher position of the wedge bar 216 on the screening net 21 is lowered. Figure 5 As shown, the wedge-shaped bar 216 sprays gas toward one side of the crystal outlet 22 to blow the crystals, which can blow off the mother liquid on the surface of the crystals and prevent the crystals from clogging the screening mesh 21 , thereby accelerating the crystals to pass through the wedge-shaped bar 216 and be discharged from the crystal outlet 22 .
[0028] Working process: inject the mother liquor into the crystallization kettle 1, start the segmented cooling jacket 11 for gradient cooling, and at the same time, the stirring component 12 continues to operate to ensure that the solution is evenly cooled and crystallized. After the crystallization is completed, open the connecting pipe valve to allow the crystal slurry to flow into the separation tank 2 under the action of gravity. The driving motor 214 drives the screening mesh 21 to swing back and forth. The mother liquor is discharged from the liquid outlet 23 through the screening mesh 21, and the crystals remain on the screening mesh 21. The inclination angle of the screening mesh 21 is adjusted by the lifting rod 215. At the same time, the air jet 217 sprays gas to purge the crystal surface to reduce the mother liquor residue. The screening mesh 21 is tilted to a lower position on the side of the crystal outlet 22. The crystals are discharged from the crystal outlet 22 under the action of gravity and gas blowing.
