AI Technical Summary
Existing melt polycondensation equipment for PET processing suffers from poor melt flowability and low surface renewal frequency, resulting in insufficient melting and inability to effectively utilize stirring elements to contact all raw materials.
The reactor adopts a flipping assembly and insulation chamber design, and achieves 180-degree reciprocating flipping of the reactor through two rotating rods and supporting side plates. Combined with the stirring structure in the inner cylinder and the high-temperature steam insulation in the insulation chamber, the melt flow rate and melting effect are improved.
This greatly improves the flow rate of the melt, ensures sufficient melt condensation, avoids dead zones in the stirring, and enhances the temperature control capability of the reactor.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of PET material processing technology, specifically to a PET material melting and polycondensation equipment. Background Technology
[0002] PET is a milky white or light yellow, highly crystalline polymer with a smooth and glossy surface. It has excellent physical and mechanical properties over a wide temperature range, with a long-term operating temperature up to 120℃. It has excellent electrical insulation properties, and its electrical properties remain good even at high temperatures and high frequencies. However, it has poor corona resistance. It also has good creep resistance, fatigue resistance, abrasion resistance, and dimensional stability.
[0003] Polycondensation is a reversible polymerization reaction in which monomers gradually condense to form high molecular weight polymers. Currently, horizontal stirred reactors are commonly used for melt polycondensation in PET processing. The surface renewal frequency of such reactors is closely related to the contact between the stirring element and the material. However, in actual operation, no matter what shape the stirring element is, it is impossible to guarantee that it can contact all the raw materials. Moreover, due to the influence of gravity and the limitations of the reactor structure, the melt flow is poor, which results in insufficient melting and limits the surface renewal frequency of the melt, leaving room for improvement.

[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] Example 1, in conjunction with Appendix Figure 1 , 2 A PET material melting and polycondensation equipment includes a reactor 1 and a silo 2. The silo 2 has a feed inlet on one side for easy feeding. The reactor 1 has a bottom plate 3, and the bottom plate 3 has four support legs 4 at its four corners. The silo 2 is located between the support legs 4 and is placed longitudinally to save space. The reactor 1 is composed of a reactor body 5 and a cover 6 that are detachably connected to facilitate internal maintenance and cleaning. The upper end of the reactor body 5 and the lower end of the cover 6 are both provided with connecting flanges 7, which are connected by several bolts.
[0023] Combined with appendix Figure 1 , 3 A conveying pipe 8 is provided between the vessel body 5 and the silo 2; threaded openings are provided on the vessel body 5 and the silo 2 near the lower end; threaded sleeves are fixed at both ends of the conveying pipe 8, and the threaded sleeves are threadedly connected to the threaded openings; nuts 9 are threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded openings. When conveying materials, the two ends of the conveying pipe 8 are connected to the vessel body 5 and the silo 2 respectively. When not conveying materials, the threaded openings can be sealed by the nuts 9.
[0024] Combined with appendix Figure 1-5 The bottom plate 3 is provided with supporting side plates 10 on both sides, and a flipping assembly is provided between the supporting side plates 10. The flipping assembly includes a motor 11 on the outside of one of the supporting side plates 10, a rotating rod 12 connected to the vessel body 5 at the output end of the motor 11, and a rotating rod 13 on the other side of the vessel body 5. The rotating rod 13 is rotatably connected to the other supporting side plate 10. Each supporting side plate 10 is provided with a bearing 14 that can be connected to the rotating rod 12 and the rotating rod 13, so that the rotating rod 12 and the rotating rod 13 can rotate freely.
[0025] Combined with appendix Figure 1 , 3The inner side of the vessel body 5 is provided with an inner cylinder 15, and a heat preservation cavity 16 is formed between the outer side of the inner cylinder 15 and the inner side of the vessel body 5. A Z-shaped transmission pipe 17 is provided on the rear side of the rotating rod 12. One end of the transmission pipe 17 extends out of the support side plate 10, and the other end extends into the heat preservation cavity 16 and is rotatably connected to it. High-temperature steam can be introduced into the heat preservation cavity 16 through an external steam generator to keep the vessel body 5 warm. A Z-shaped transmission pipe 18 is provided on the front side of the rotating rod 13. One end of the transmission pipe 18 extends out of the support side plate 10, and the other end extends into the inner cylinder 15 and is rotatably connected to it, which facilitates the discharge of material.

[0026] Combined with appendix Figure 4 The inner cylinder 15 is equipped with a stirring structure, which includes a motor 20 located at the lower end of the vessel body 5. The output end of the motor 20 is equipped with a transmission rod, which extends into the inner cylinder 15 and is equipped with an S-shaped stirring plate 21.

The upper end of the stirring plate 21 is equipped with a mounting plate 22, which is detachably connected to the cover 6, so as not to affect the disassembly of the cover 6.
[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Material is fed from the hopper 2 into the inner cylinder 15 of the reactor body 5 through the conveying pipe 8. The conveying pipe 8 can be removed during the flipping process by directly removing the threaded sleeves 9 at both ends of the conveying pipe 8 from the threaded opening, thus avoiding twisting and entanglement. The end of the transmission pipe 17 is connected to an external steam generator, thereby introducing high-temperature steam into the insulation cavity 16 through the transmission pipe 17 for insulation of the reactor body 5. During the flipping process, the motor 11 drives the rotating rod 12 to rotate, thereby causing the reactor 1 and the rotating rod 13 to rotate 180 degrees between the two supporting side plates 10 and continue to rotate in the opposite direction, increasing the flow rate of the internal melt. During this process, the transmission pipe 17 and the second transmission pipe 18 are located behind and in front of the rotating rod 12 and the second rotating rod 13, respectively, and will not affect the rotation.
