Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of plug-in plate type triangular funnels, in particular to a plug-in plate type triangular funnel used for filling an ion exchanger. Background Art
[0002] The ion exchangers in the methanol pre-distillation units of the two-series synthesis plant are filled with resin, requiring over 100 tons of resin. Because the ion exchangers are located below the distillation unit's blower, cranes cannot reach the manholes on the top of the ion exchanger tanks. Therefore, manual handling is required to load the resin into the ion exchangers. Manual handling takes four days for every 100 tons of resin, significantly increasing labor and maintenance time, impacting the plant's startup schedule. Utility Model Content
[0003] (1) Technical problems solved
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a plug-in triangular funnel for ion exchanger filling, so as to solve the problem proposed in the above background technology that a large amount of manual handling and filling of resin is required, which results in a large increase in labor and increases the time for filling resin.
[0005] (2) Technical solution

[0007] A tripod is movably provided at the lower end of the outer side of the circular funnel, a manhole is provided at the upper end of the ion exchanger, and the lower end of the circular funnel is fixedly connected to the manhole through the metal hose;
[0008] A gate valve is provided at the lower end of the circular funnel, and the gate valve includes two upper and lower gates, namely gate A and gate B. Gate A is divided into two left and right semicircular gates, and gate B is divided into two left and right annular gates; the upper end side wall of the metal hose is fixedly connected to the left and right annular gates of gate B, and the upper end top surface of the metal hose is on the same horizontal plane as the top surface of gate B;

[0015] Beneficial effects
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. When loading the traditional methanol synthesis ion exchange resin, construction workers are required to load the resin. The crane can only lift the resin to the weighing scaffolding platform, which requires a large amount of manpower to carry. This greatly increases the labor force and increases the loading time. At the same time, the resin packaging is prone to fall into the ion exchanger. It takes 4 days to manually load 100 tons of resin. Compared with the traditional operation method, the use of the utility model with a plug-in triangular funnel only takes 2 days to load 100 tons of resin. This reduces the heavy physical labor of construction workers, shortens the maintenance period, completes the methanol synthesis ion exchange resin loading work ahead of schedule, and achieves safe and efficient construction with controlled operation risks.
[0018] 2. The utility model is provided with a tripod, a pin and a telescopic rod, which can ensure the stability of the circular funnel when loading the agent. It can also match cranes of different heights and adjust the height of the circular funnel accordingly. At the same time, it is easy to store when no agent is needed;
[0019] 3. The plug-in valve in the utility model is divided into two layers of gates, upper and lower, and is a manual valve. The rate of filling resin can be controlled by controlling the opening size of the gate A. At the same time, a manual backup valve is set on the metal hose as a safety valve to prevent other accidents. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
