[0001] This utility model relates to the field of energy storage dielectric preparation technology for thin film capacitors, and in particular to a preparation apparatus for polystyrene-based copolymers. Background Technology
[0002] The core of a film capacitor is formed by winding a metallized thin film, which is made by depositing an aluminum layer on one side of a base film. The aluminum layer serves as the electrode, and the base film serves as the insulating layer. P(4FSt-MMA) is a polystyrene-based copolymer, polymerized from 4-fluorostyrene (4-FSt) and methyl methacrylate (MMA). It has a high operating temperature and good insulation properties, and is considered a superior material for the base film. Currently, P(4FSt-MMA) is mainly prepared in the laboratory using Schlenk flasks, and there is no dedicated equipment for industrial production. This application provides an apparatus for preparing this polystyrene-based copolymer. Utility Model Content

[0008] To further optimize this technical solution, the outlet of the liquid outlet pipe faces obliquely downwards, and the projection of the direction of the liquid spraying out from the outlet of the liquid outlet pipe onto the horizontal plane is tangent to the projection of the inner wall of the demulsifying tank onto the horizontal plane.
[0009] To further optimize this technical solution, a support ring is provided at the lower part of the drain pipe, and a protective cover that can slide up and down is provided on the support ring.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: 1.

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.
[0019] Detailed implementation method: combined with Figure 1-6As shown, an apparatus for preparing a polystyrene-based copolymer includes a mixing tank 1. A first feeding port 11 is provided at the top of the mixing tank 1, through which raw materials can be added. The bottom of the mixing tank 1 is connected to the top of a polymerization tank 4 via a first pipe 3. The bottom of the mixing tank 1 is higher than the top of the polymerization tank 4, and all parts of the first pipe 3 are lower than the bottom of the mixing tank 1. A first valve 2 is provided on the first pipe 3. A jacket 45 is provided on the outer side of the bottom of the polymerization tank 4. Oil inlets are provided on both sides of the jacket 45. In use, these two oil inlets are connected to a hot oil supply device, and hot oil (at a temperature of 70°C) continuously flows through the jacket 45 to heat the polymerization tank 4. A vent pipe 41 and a feeding pipe 46 are also provided at the top of the polymerization tank 4. The feeding pipe 46 is equipped with a feeding valve 47, and the vent pipe 41 is equipped with an air inlet valve 44. The air inlet valve 44 is connected to a pressure nitrogen source (which can be a nitrogen cylinder, with a pressure reducing valve connected to the nitrogen cylinder, and the pressure of the nitrogen coming out of the pressure reducing valve is greater than atmospheric pressure) through a pipe. The second pipe 5 penetrates downward through the top cover of the polymerization tank 4 and its bottom is close to the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the polymerization tank 4. The other end of the second pipe 5 (which is higher than the top of the polymerization tank 4) extends into the upper part of the demulsifying tank 7 and is connected to an outlet pipe 71. The second pipe 5 is equipped with a second valve 6. The top of the demulsifying tank 7 is equipped with a second feeding port 72. The bottom of the demulsifying tank 7 is equipped with a drain pipe 73. The drain pipe 73 is equipped with a third valve 74. A filter box 8 is installed below the drain pipe 73. In use, a certain amount of 4-fluorostyrene (4-FSt), methyl methacrylate (MMA), sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (acting as an emulsifier), and water are added to the mixing tank 1 through the first feed port 11. After all the above raw materials are completely dissolved in the water, they are left to stand for a period of time for pre-emulsification. Then, the first valve 2 is opened to allow the pre-emulsified solution to flow into the polymerization tank 4. The first valve 2 is then closed. After the temperature of the solution in the polymerization tank 4 reaches 70°C (this can be controlled by time, i.e., after a certain period of time, such as two hours, the solution temperature is considered to have reached 70°C; alternatively, a thermocouple inserted into the polymerization tank 4 can be used to measure the solution temperature), a certain amount of potassium persulfate is added to the polymerization tank 4 through the feed pipe 46. Aqueous solution (then feed valve 47 is closed). At this time, 4-fluorostyrene and methyl methacrylate polymerize to form P(4FSt-MMA). After a certain period of time (preferably 24 hours), the second valve 6 is opened, followed by the air inlet valve 44. Under the action of pressurized nitrogen, the liquid in the polymerization tank 4 (still in an emulsion state) enters the demulsification tank 7 (then air inlet valve 44 is closed). An appropriate amount of saturated brine has been added to the demulsification tank 7 in advance (through the second feed port 72). The emulsion entering the demulsification tank 7 is demulsified, and P(4FSt-MMA) precipitates out. Then the third valve 74 is opened, and the solution in the demulsification tank 7 flows into the filter box 8 for filtration. The precipitate obtained is P(4FSt-MMA).
[0020] The filter box 8 has a cylindrical opening 81 at its top, and a mesh cone 82 is placed at the upper opening of the cylindrical opening 81. A filter layer 83 is disposed inside the mesh cone 82, and the filter layer 83 is located directly below the drain pipe 73. Sediment remains on the filter layer 83, while liquid flows into the filter box 8. The mesh cone 82, along with the filter layer 83, can be removed from the cylindrical opening 81 for sediment collection.
[0021] A motor 12 is installed on the top of the mixing tank 1, and a stirring shaft 13 is rotatably connected inside the mixing tank 1. The stirring shaft 13 is equipped with multiple blades and is connected to the motor 12 for transmission. It can be stirred during pre-emulsification to improve the speed and effect of pre-emulsification.
[0022] An exhaust pipe 42 is provided on one side of the vent pipe 41. The exhaust pipe 42 is located on the side of the inlet valve 44 near the polymerization tank 4, and an exhaust valve 43 is provided on the exhaust pipe 42. In use, after opening the first valve 2, the exhaust valve 43 is then opened, allowing the liquid in the mixing tank 1 to easily enter the polymerization tank 4.
[0023] The outlet of the liquid outlet pipe 71 faces obliquely downwards. The projection of the direction in which the liquid sprays out from the outlet of the liquid outlet pipe 71 onto the horizontal plane is tangent to the projection of the inner wall of the demulsifying tank 7 onto the horizontal plane. This causes the emulsion to spray obliquely downwards onto the saturated brine, resulting in a rotation of the mixture of saturated brine and emulsion, thereby accelerating the mixing of the two. The extension direction of the liquid outlet pipe 71 can be a segment (approximately one-eighth) of a cylindrical helix.
[0024] The lower part of the drain pipe 73 is provided with a support ring, and the support ring is provided with a protective cover 75 that can slide up and down. The protective cover 75 is made of transparent material. When the second valve 6 is opened, the operator can observe the liquid level in the filter layer 83 through the protective cover 75.
[0025] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative or explanatory of the principles of this utility model and do not constitute a limitation thereof. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be included within its protection scope. Furthermore, the appended claims are intended to cover all variations and modifications falling within the scope and boundaries of the appended claims, or equivalent forms of such scope and boundaries.
