Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to rectifying column equipment technical field especially relates to the tray guide device of rectifying column. BACKGROUND

[0002] Rectifying column is a kind of tower type vapor-liquid contactor for rectification, its principle is to use the different volatility (i.e. the nature of the vapor pressure of each component at the same temperature) of each component in mixture, make the light component (low-boiling substance) in liquid phase transfer to gas phase, and the heavy component (high-boiling substance) in gas phase transfer to liquid phase, to realize separation. Among them, tray-type rectifying column is a type widely used, its main structure is that multiple trays are arranged in the tower body of rectifying column, so that liquid flows through each tray from top to bottom, gas flows upward from the bottom of tower body, so that gas and liquid contact, and the separation of light component and heavy component is completed.

[0003] In the prior art, the Chinese utility model with patent No. CN218248583U discloses a tray guide device of rectifying column, which comprises multiple overlapped mesh trays, the central part of each mesh tray is provided with a guide hole, the guide holes are coaxially arranged, and a guide column penetrating through the multiple guide holes is further included, both ends of the guide column extend to the outside of the mesh trays at the top and bottom; a sealing block capable of sealing the guide hole is arranged below the mesh tray at the bottom of the guide column on the guide column, and a driving member for driving the guide column to move is further included. By moving the guide column, the guide hole can be opened, and the liquid can be guided to avoid overflow.

[0004] In the use of the above prior art, by controlling the movement of the guide column in the guide hole arranged at the center of the tray, the opening and closing of the guide hole are realized to avoid overflow. However, it is found in use that when all the guide holes are in an open state, the liquid accumulated on the uppermost tray flows straight from the guide holes of multiple trays to the tower bottom, so that this part of liquid does not fully contact with the upward flowing gas, reducing the rectification effect. Therefore, it is urgent to optimize and improve the current tray guide device to solve the above problems. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0005] In view of the above technical problems, the utility model provides a tray guide device of rectifying column, which is characterized by comprising an upper tray, a lower tray, a support column, a moving column, a guide block, a sealing ring and a driving assembly, the upper tray and the lower tray are both installed in the tower body, the upper tray is located above the lower tray, the upper tray and the lower tray are arranged in a conical structure, the support column is arranged between the upper tray and the lower tray, the guide block is connected at the guide hole arranged at the central position of the upper tray, the sealing ring is arranged at the outer ring of the guide block, the bottom of the guide block is connected with the moving column, and the moving column is connected with the driving assembly installed on the tower body,

[0006] The flow guide block is provided with through holes.

[0007] Both the upper and lower trays are provided with mesh.

[0008] The drive assembly consists of an electric actuator, a slider, a communicating vessel, and a float switch. Both the electric actuator and the communicating vessel are mounted on the tower body. The telescopic end of the electric actuator is connected to a slider slidably connected within the communicating vessel. A communicating fluid is filled between the two sliders in the communicating vessel. A float switch is installed at the end of the communicating vessel that extends into the tower body.

[0009] Specifically, the float switch is used to control the start and stop of the electric actuator.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] The upper and lower trays of this invention are both designed with a conical structure, so that the outer edge of the tray is inclined to the center. This reduces the liquid flow velocity during the downward flow of the liquid, thereby increasing the residence time of the liquid on the tray and enhancing the distillation effect. The trays are provided with mesh and the guide blocks are provided with through holes to guide and disperse the liquid, so that the gas and liquid can fully contact each other and improve the distillation efficiency.

[0012] When liquid accumulates on the upper tray, the float switch gradually rises to the preset value, activating the electric push rod. Through the fluid transmission in the communicating vessel, the moving column moves downward, controlling the guide block to move downward. At this time, the guide hole in the center of the upper tray opens. The diameter of the guide hole is much larger than the mesh for drainage. The accumulated liquid quickly flows to the lower tray and is dispersed by the lower tray, preventing excessive liquid accumulation from increasing the pressure drop on the upper tray. In addition, a support column is installed between the upper and lower trays to increase the support for the upper tray. Attached Figure Description
