DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present invention. The preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the accompanying drawings is to supplement the description of the text part of the specification with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and overall technical solution of the present invention, but it cannot be understood as a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-4The present invention provides a distillation tower for producing methyl methacrylate, which comprises: a distillation tower body 1, a support frame 2 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the distillation tower body 1, an air outlet 101 opened at the top of the distillation tower body 1, a liquid inlet pipe 3 penetratingly connected to the upper side wall of the distillation tower body 1, a liquid discharge pipe 11 penetratingly connected to the bottom end of the distillation tower body 1, an air inlet pipe 4 penetratingly connected to the lower side wall of the distillation tower body 1, a rotating rod 8 penetratingly connected to the bottom end of the inner wall of the distillation tower body 1, and an outer wall of the rotating rod 8 vertically extending from the bottom end of the inner wall of the distillation tower body 1. Several separator plates 9 are fixedly connected, and the outer side walls of the separator plates 9 are all in contact with the inner side walls of the distillation tower body 1. The bottom ends of the inner walls of the separator plates 9 are provided with through holes 901. The edge side walls of the through holes 901 are surrounded by partitions 902. The through holes 901 on each layer are arranged in a staggered manner. A stirring assembly 10 is provided above each layer of the separator plates 9. The bottom end of the rotating rod 8 is fixedly connected to the slave gear 7. The inner side wall of the support frame 2 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 5. The mounting plate 5 is provided with a driving device 6 for driving the slave gear 7.

[0023] The driving device 6 includes a motor 601. The bottom end of the motor 601 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting plate 5. The output end of the motor 601 is fixedly connected to the main gear 602. The side wall of the main gear 602 is meshed with the side wall of the slave gear 7.

[0024] The stirring assembly 10 includes a connecting plate 1001, the side walls of which are fixedly connected to the inner side walls of the distillation tower body 1. The bottom ends of the connecting plates 1001 are fixedly connected to stirring plates 1002, which are spaced apart from the partitions 902. The side walls of the stirring plates 1002 are each provided with flow holes 1003. With the distillation tower body 1 and the partition plates 9 provided, during use, solution is poured into the tower through the liquid inlet pipe 3. Once the upper partition plate 9 is full, excess solution flows through the through holes 901 into the next layer of partition plates 9, until the bottom layer of partition plates 9 is filled. Excess solution is then discharged through the liquid drain pipe 11. Next, steam enters the tower through the air inlet pipe 4 and is discharged to the air outlet 101 through the through holes 901 staggered between each layer. Because the through holes 901 are relatively small and the steam is blocked by the partition plates 9 on each layer as it is discharged upward, the steam spends more time at each layer of partition plates 9. It can fully react and improve the efficiency of evaporation and separation; through the provided driving device 6, slave gear 7, rotating rod 8, and stirring assembly 10, when the steam enters the tower, the motor 601 is started to drive the main gear 602 to rotate, driving the slave gear 7 engaged with it to rotate, and then driving the rotating rod 8 and the separation plate 9 to rotate. At the same time as the separation plate 9 rotates, because the stirring assembly 10 is fixed to the inner wall of the tower body, the solution in the separation plate 9 is stirred by the stirring plate 1002, so that the solution is fully exposed to the steam, increasing the contact area between the solution and the steam, thereby accelerating the distillation efficiency.

[0025] Working principle: When in use, the solution is poured into the tower through the liquid inlet pipe 3. After the upper separation plate 9 is full, the excess solution enters the next separation plate 9 through the through hole 901, until the separation plate 9 on the bottom layer is full, and the excess solution is discharged from the drain pipe 11. Next, the steam enters the tower through the air inlet pipe 4 and is discharged to the air outlet 101 through the through holes 901 staggered between the layers. Because the through holes 901 are small and the steam is blocked by the separation plates 9 on each layer when it is discharged upward, the steam stays at each separation plate 9 for a longer time, so that it can fully react and improve the efficiency of evaporation separation. At the same time as the steam enters the tower, the motor 601 is started to drive the main gear 602 to rotate, driving the meshed gear 7 to rotate, and then driving the rotating rod 8 and the separation plate 9 to rotate. At the same time as the separation plate 9 rotates, the stirring assembly 10 is fixed to the inner wall of the tower body, and the solution in the separation plate 9 is stirred by the stirring plate 1002, so that the solution is fully exposed to the steam, thereby increasing the contact area between the solution and the steam.

[0026] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
