Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chemical equipment, in particular to a propylene oxide recovery structure. Background Art
[0002] Propylene oxide is an important organic compound widely used in chemical engineering and materials science. Propylene oxide is toxic and irritating to the skin and mucous membranes, potentially causing respiratory discomfort and skin burns. Therefore, appropriate safety measures should be taken during handling and storage, such as wearing protective equipment and operating in a well-ventilated environment.
[0003] Since propylene oxide is widely used in the fields of chemical engineering and materials science, residual propylene oxide will be present in the exhaust gas after chemical operations are completed. For example, in the production of carbon dioxide-based polycarbonate polyols, the reaction degree of propylene oxide is about 85%, resulting in 15% propylene oxide in the exhaust gas. Propylene oxide is also toxic to a certain extent, so the direct emission of exhaust gas will not only pollute the environment, but also create a hazardous area at the emission point.
[0004] In the existing technology, in order to avoid the hazards caused by propylene oxide, the propylene oxide that does not participate in the reaction needs to be recycled and reused. The recycled and collected propylene oxide is usually transported by a shielded pump. The shielded pump adopts a static seal design without a dynamic seal, so it can safely transport flammable, explosive, precious liquids and toxic, corrosive and radioactive liquids. However, the shielded pump cannot operate at a low flow rate for a long time. Long-term low flow may cause cavitation, which will affect the service life of the shielded pump. Utility Model Content

[0009] A liquid level alarm component is provided at the bottom of the barrel bag.
[0010] Furthermore, the pump sleeve is divided into a cylinder and a pump body from top to bottom, the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cylinder, the diameter of the pump body is larger than the diameter of the cylinder, so that a pump cavity for accommodating the impeller is retained between the inner wall of the pump body and the shaft cylinder.
[0011] Furthermore, a liquid suction port is formed on the bottom protrusion of the pump body, and a shaft sleeve is sleeved on the outer wall of the shaft cylinder located inside the liquid suction port, and a plurality of spiral blades are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the shaft sleeve.
[0012] Furthermore, the liquid level alarm assembly includes a column, a guide rod, an anti-falling block, a float and a pressure touch switch. The column is fixed at the bottom of the barrel bag, the top of the column is fixedly connected to the guide rod, the outer wall of the guide rod is slidably connected to the float, the top of the guide rod is fixedly connected to the anti-falling block for preventing the float from falling off, and the top of the column is located on one side of the guide rod and is fixedly connected to the pressure touch switch.
[0013] Furthermore, a filter screen is fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the float, and a side of the filter screen close to the pump sleeve is provided with an avoidance hole for avoiding the pump sleeve.
[0014] Furthermore, a waterproof cover is provided on the top of the pressure touch switch, and the bottom of the waterproof cover extends downward and is fixedly connected to the column, so that a sealed space for accommodating the pressure touch switch is formed between the waterproof cover and the column.
[0015] In summary, the present invention has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0016] 1.

The first-stage impeller has a certain backflow height, which can effectively improve the cavitation resistance;
[0017] 2. This propylene oxide recovery structure can isolate the impeller from the rotating shaft through the provided shaft cylinder, thereby changing the original conventional pump's one shaft with a shaft seal component to a rotating shaft plus shaft cylinder structure, converting the dynamic seal into a static seal, and isolating the rotating shaft and impeller by the shaft cylinder, thereby completely solving the problem of medium leakage.
[0018] 3.

At the same time, actively shutting down the motor after the propylene oxide material in the barrel bag is evacuated can also avoid power loss and improve the practicality of the recovery structure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example
[0028] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 6 The utility model discloses a propylene oxide recovery structure, which includes a barrel bag 1 buried underground, a cover plate 2 fixedly connected to the top of the barrel bag 1, a liquid inlet 3 and a liquid outlet 4 arranged at intervals of a central axis on the top of the cover plate 2, a motor 5 is installed on the top of the cover plate 2, and a pump sleeve 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cover plate 2 just below the motor 5. A shaft cylinder 7 is provided in the middle of the pump sleeve 6, and the top of the shaft cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 2. An infusion space for pumping liquid is reserved between the outer wall of the shaft cylinder 7 and the pump sleeve 6, and a connecting pipe 13 connected to the liquid outlet 4 is provided above the infusion space;
[0029] The outer peripheral wall of the shaft cylinder 7 is connected to a plurality of impellers 8 in a rotatable manner from top to bottom at intervals. The inner peripheral wall of the impeller 8 is embedded with a plurality of permanent magnets 9. A rotating shaft 10 is provided in the shaft cylinder 7. The top of the rotating shaft 10 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 5. The outer peripheral wall of the rotating shaft 10 is provided with a plurality of permanent magnets 11 in an annular array.
[0030] A liquid level alarm assembly 12 is provided at the bottom of the tubular bag 1 .
[0031] In this embodiment, the observation Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be found that by setting a cylindrical bag 1 buried underground, a cover plate 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the cylindrical bag 1, and multiple pipelines are arranged on the top of the cover plate 2 at intervals along the central axis, two of which are the liquid inlet 3 and the liquid outlet 4, which can be used to transport the propylene oxide material into the cylindrical bag 1 through the liquid inlet 3 and output it from the liquid outlet 4, so that the propylene oxide material can be transported normally.
[0032] Then look at Figure 2 It can be found that a motor 5 is installed on the top of the cover plate 2, and a pump sleeve 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cover plate 2 just below the motor 5. A shaft cylinder 7 is provided in the middle of the pump sleeve 6, and the top of the shaft cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 2. An infusion space for pumping liquid is reserved between the outer wall of the shaft cylinder 7 and the pump sleeve 6. The outer peripheral wall of the shaft cylinder 7 is connected with multiple impellers 8 in a rotational manner from top to bottom, and the inner peripheral wall of the impeller 8 is embedded with multiple permanent magnets 9. A rotating shaft 10 is provided in the shaft cylinder 7, and the top of the rotating shaft 10 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 5. The outer peripheral wall of the rotating shaft 10 is provided with multiple permanent magnets 11 in a ring array. The rotation of the impeller 8 can generate negative pressure to suck the propylene oxide material into the pump sleeve 6, and then the propylene oxide material is input into the liquid outlet 4 through the connecting pipe 13 to complete the recovery of the propylene oxide material.
[0033] By utilizing the magnetic coupling transmission of permanent magnet 1 9 and permanent magnet 2 11 between the rotating shaft 10 and the impeller 8, direct contact between the rotating shaft 10 and the impeller 8 is eliminated. Therefore, a shaft cylinder 7 is sleeved on the outer side of the rotating shaft 10, and the top of the shaft cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 2, so that a sealed space is formed between the shaft cylinder 7 and the cover plate 2, eliminating the safety hazard of propylene oxide material leaking through the pump seal, and effectively ensuring the physical and mental health of employees.
[0034] Since the impeller 8 will continuously output and recycle the propylene oxide material when it rotates, the propylene oxide material in the barrel bag 1 will continue to decrease. If the propylene oxide material is not replenished, the motor 5 will be idle after the propylene oxide material is recovered, resulting in a waste of electricity and an increase in the recycling cost. Figure 2 It can also be found that a liquid level alarm component 12 is provided in the barrel bag 1, which can stop the motor 5 when the propylene oxide material is insufficient, thereby effectively reducing the waste of electric energy.
[0035] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the pump sleeve 6 is divided into a cylinder 61 and a pump body 62 from top to bottom. The connecting pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cylinder 61. The diameter of the pump body 62 is larger than that of the cylinder 61, so that a pump cavity for accommodating the impeller 8 is retained between the inner wall of the pump body 62 and the shaft cylinder 7.
[0036] The bottom protrusion of the pump body 62 is formed with a liquid suction port 14 , and the outer wall of the shaft cylinder 7 is sleeved with a shaft sleeve 15 at a position inside the liquid suction port 14 , and the outer wall of the shaft sleeve 15 is fixedly connected with a plurality of spiral blades 16 .
[0037] In this embodiment, since the diameter of the impeller 8 is much larger than the shaft cylinder 7, in order to properly accommodate the impeller 8 in the pump sleeve 6, the diameter of the pump sleeve 6 needs to be enlarged. However, the direct enlargement method will increase the material required for the production of the pump sleeve 6, thereby increasing the production cost and transportation cost of the pump sleeve 6. Therefore, the observation Figure 3 It can be found that the pump sleeve 6 is divided into a cylinder 61 and a pump body 62 from top to bottom, and the diameter of the pump body 62 is larger than the diameter of the cylinder 61. A pump cavity for accommodating the impeller 8 is retained between the inner wall of the pump body 62 and the shaft cylinder 7, so that the pump sleeve 6 is expanded separately for the impeller 8 to ensure the normal operation of the impeller 8 while reducing the production and transportation costs of the pump sleeve 6, which can effectively improve the practicality of the recovery structure.
[0038] A liquid suction port 14 is formed by a protrusion at the bottom of the pump body 62, and then a shaft sleeve 15 is sleeved on the outer wall of the shaft cylinder 7 at a position inside the liquid suction port 14. A plurality of spiral blades 16 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the shaft sleeve 15. The rotation of the shaft sleeve 15 can drive the blades 16 to rotate, thereby increasing the static pressure of the liquid suction port 14, thereby reducing the pressure when the impeller 8 absorbs the propylene oxide material, and improving the transportation efficiency of the propylene oxide material.
[0039] Since the impeller 8 is magnetically coupled with the permanent magnet 1 9 and the permanent magnet 2 11 of the rotating shaft 10, in order to make the sleeve 15 rotate, a permanent magnet 1 9 of the same specification is also installed in the sleeve 15 (not shown in the figure) to ensure that the sleeve 15 and the impeller 8 can rotate synchronously.
[0040] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the liquid level alarm assembly 12 includes a column 121, a guide rod 122, an anti-dropping block 123, a float 124 and a pressure-touch switch 125. The column 121 is fixed to the bottom of the barrel bag 1, the top of the column 121 is fixedly connected to the guide rod 122, the outer wall of the guide rod 122 is slidably connected to the float 124, the top of the guide rod 122 is fixedly connected to the anti-dropping block 123 for preventing the float 124 from dropping off, and the top of the column 121 is located on one side of the guide rod 122 and is fixedly connected to the pressure-touch switch 125.
[0041] The outer wall of the float 124 is fixedly connected to a filter screen 17 , and a side of the filter screen 17 close to the pump sleeve 6 is provided with an escape hole 18 for evading the pump sleeve 6 ;
[0042] A waterproof cover 19 is provided on the top of the pressure touch switch 125 , and the bottom of the waterproof cover 19 extends downward and is fixedly connected to the column 121 , so that a sealed space for accommodating the pressure touch switch 125 is formed between the waterproof cover 19 and the column 121 .
[0043] In this embodiment, by fixing the column 121 to the bottom of the barrel bag 1, the top of the column 121 is fixedly connected to the guide rod 122, the outer wall of the guide rod 122 is slidably connected to the float 124, the top of the guide rod 122 is fixedly connected to the anti-falling block 123 for preventing the float 124 from falling off, and the top of the column 121 is located on one side of the guide rod 122 and is fixedly connected to the pressure touch switch 125. When the propylene oxide material to be recycled is injected into the barrel bag 1, the buoyancy of the propylene oxide material is used to make the float 124 float, thereby avoiding the pressure touch switch 125 from being compressed. Subsequently, after the propylene oxide material is evacuated, the float 124 will slide down due to the loss of support until it contacts the pressure touch switch 125, thereby activating the pressure touch switch 125 and shutting down the motor 5, thereby avoiding the motor 5 idling and wasting electricity.
[0044] When the solid particle content of propylene oxide material is high, the solid particles will be recovered along with the propylene oxide material, so Figure 5 It can be found that a filter screen 17 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the float 124, which can be used to simply filter solid particles and achieve the effect of purifying the propylene oxide material.
[0045] Since the float 124 will float up when the propylene oxide material is injected into the barrel bag 1, and there is a pump sleeve 6 in the barrel bag 1, the pump sleeve 6 will conflict with the filter screen 17 and affect the normal floating of the float 124. Therefore, an avoidance hole 18 is opened at the position of the filter screen 17 near the pump sleeve 6 to ensure the normal up and down floating of the float 124.
[0046] Since the propylene oxide material is a colorless ether-smelling liquid, when the propylene oxide material is submerged in the pressure touch switch 125, the pressure touch switch 125 will be short-circuited. Therefore, in order to protect the pressure touch switch 125, observe Figure 6 It can be found that a waterproof cover 19 is provided on the top of the pressure touch switch 125, and the bottom of the waterproof cover 19 extends downward and is fixedly connected to the column 121, so that a sealed space for accommodating the pressure touch switch 125 is formed between the waterproof cover 19 and the column 121.
[0047] The embodiments of this specific implementation method are all preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be included in the scope of protection of the present utility model.
