Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of chemical equipment technology, and specifically relates to an installation and positioning device for a separation column. Background Technology

[0002] Separation columns are a common core device in industrial processes, primarily used for the separation, adsorption, exchange, or purification of liquid or gaseous media. They are widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, and water treatment industries, completing specified chemical treatment processes through internally packed functional resins. In specific applications, the medium typically enters from one end of the separation column, passes through the resin, and exits from the other end, thus achieving component separation or purification of the medium.

[0003] Currently, separator columns are typically connected using quick-connect interfaces or threaded connections to ensure reliable connection between the equipment and upstream and downstream pipelines. However, this traditional connection method faces numerous technical challenges in practical use:

[0004] 1. Complex operation: When installing or replacing quick-connect or threaded connections, precise alignment and a large torque are required to fix them, which increases the difficulty of manual operation and is particularly inefficient in high-frequency replacement scenarios.

[0005] 2. Inaccurate positioning: The connection process of traditional interfaces is prone to misalignment due to angular offset or uneven contact surfaces, which in turn affects the overall performance of the separation column.

[0006] 3. Poor sealing performance: Due to manufacturing errors of interface components or uneven force during installation, small gaps often appear at the connection, which may cause media leakage, affecting production efficiency and posing potential safety hazards.

[0007] For example, in the water treatment process of a chemical plant, the quick-connect interface of the separation column was complicated to install, leading to a longer replacement cycle, and media leakage further increased operating costs. Similar problems are particularly prominent in the high-purity media handling processes of the pharmaceutical industry, where insufficient sealing performance directly affects product quality and safety.

[0008] To address the aforementioned issues, there is an urgent need for a new type of connection device that can simplify the operation process, improve alignment accuracy, and ensure sealing performance, so as to further enhance the ease of operation and reliability of the separation column. Utility Model Content

[0009] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an installation and positioning device for a separation column. This novel connection device simplifies the operation process, improves alignment accuracy, and ensures sealing performance, thereby enhancing the ease of operation and reliability of the separation column.

[0010] This utility model provides an installation and positioning device for a separation column, comprising:

[0011] A support structure, comprising an upright plate, on which a handle operating structure, a separation column neck positioning plate, and a separation column bottom positioning plate are arranged sequentially from top to bottom;

[0012] The separation column neck positioning plate is used to support the neck of the separation column and provide fixation and positioning;

[0013] A quick-connect head is installed on the positioning plate at the bottom of the separation column. One end of the quick-connect head is used to connect to the separation column, and the other end is used to connect to the external pipeline to realize the flow of the medium.

[0014] The handle operating structure is fixedly connected to the upper end of the filling rod, which can drive the filling rod to move up and down in the vertical direction. The lower end of the filling rod is inserted into the top of the separation column and has a filling channel inside it for injecting the medium.

[0015] The quick-connect head design ensures rapid docking and reliable sealing with the separation column.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the support structure further includes two first connecting plates symmetrically arranged at intervals on the top of the upright plate, each first connecting plate having a mounting hole, and the two mounting holes communicating with each other.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the handle operating structure further includes a pin, a handle, and two symmetrically arranged second connecting plates. The pin passes through the first connecting plates and can rotate freely. One end of the second connecting plate is rotatably connected to the handle via the pin, and the other end is rotatably connected to the top of the dispensing rod via the pin, for driving the dispensing rod to move in the vertical direction.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the filling channel is further designed with an L-shaped structure, with its inlet end located on the outer wall of the filling rod and connected to an external pipeline via a quick-connect interface.

[0019] In a preferred implementation, the groove shape of the positioning plate for the neck of the separation column is further matched with the neck profile of the separation column.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, the system further includes a filling rod positioning plate, which is fixedly mounted on the corresponding upright plate and located between the handle operating structure and the separation column neck positioning plate.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the filling rod positioning plate further includes a through guide hole for guiding the vertical movement of the filling rod.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the top of the filling rod positioning plate is further provided with two internal threaded holes symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the guide hole edge.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, a limiting baffle is further provided on the outside of the filling rod. After the filling rod and the separation column are installed, the limiting baffle is in close contact with the top surface of the filling rod positioning plate and is connected and fixed to the internal threaded hole by bolts with flange faces.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the outer diameter of the limiting stop is further less than the minimum distance between the two internal threaded holes.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0026] First, the installation and positioning device for the separation column provided by this utility model achieves precise positioning and reliable fixation of the separation column through the structural design of the separation column neck positioning plate and the separation column bottom positioning plate. Simultaneously, the quick-connect head effectively simplifies installation and replacement operations, offering significant advantages compared to existing technologies. Firstly, the optimized handle operation structure and filling rod design avoid the high-torque operation required by traditional quick-connect interfaces and threaded connections, significantly reducing manual operation difficulty and improving installation and replacement efficiency. Secondly, the precise groove design of the separation column neck positioning plate eliminates misalignment caused by angular offset and uneven contact surfaces, ensuring the stability and overall performance of the separation column. Furthermore, the high-precision connection between the quick-connect head and the separation column and external pipelines effectively solves the problem of poor sealing performance, significantly reducing the risk of media leakage and improving production efficiency and operational safety. This device is particularly suitable for high-frequency replacement scenarios and industries with strict sealing performance requirements, such as the chemical and pharmaceutical fields. Its reasonable structural design and convenient operation enhance the overall reliability and practicality of the separation column system.

[0027] Secondly, in the preferred implementation, this utility model achieves stable installation and flexible movement of the handle operating structure through the symmetrically spaced first connecting plates in the support structure and the pins passing through them. The linkage design of the handle, pins and symmetrically arranged second connecting plates simplifies the driving method of the filling rod, enabling it to move smoothly in the vertical direction, improving the convenience and accuracy of operation. This device disperses the force points through the symmetrical second connecting plates, reduces the torque required for operation, improves the service life and operational stability of the device, and reduces the intensity of manual operation.

[0028] Third, in the preferred implementation, the filling channel of this utility model adopts an L-shaped structure design. By setting the inlet end on the outer wall of the filling rod and connecting it to the external pipeline through a quick-connect interface, it not only optimizes the flow path of the medium, reduces flow resistance, reduces stagnation area, and avoids medium residue, but also improves the installation convenience and efficiency of the equipment.

[0029] Fourth, in the preferred implementation, this utility model improves the installation accuracy and stability of the separation column by designing a groove on the positioning plate of the separation column neck that matches the profile of the separation column neck. This groove can accurately support the neck of the separation column, avoiding the problem of inaccurate positioning caused by angle offset or poor contact in the traditional installation method, thereby ensuring the reliability of the separation column during installation and use.

[0030] Fifth, in the preferred implementation, the through guide hole on the positioning plate of the filling rod of this utility model can effectively limit the movement trajectory of the filling rod and ensure its stable operation in the vertical direction, thereby avoiding the shaking or jamming problems caused by poor guidance in the traditional structure. The design of the internal thread hole on the top of the positioning plate and the limiting baffle plate, and the fixing of the limiting baffle plate with the flange bolts, further enhances the positioning effect of the filling rod and prevents it from being displaced due to vibration or external force. The limiting baffle plate adopts a tight fit structure and also has a certain buffer function, which effectively reduces the wear on the filling rod and extends the service life of the device.

[0041] As per the instruction manual Figure 1This utility model proposes an installation and positioning device for a separation column, including a support structure, a handle operation structure, a filling rod 10, and a quick-change head 11. The support structure includes a vertical plate 2, on which the handle operation structure, a separation column neck positioning plate 4, and a separation column bottom positioning plate 3 are arranged at intervals from top to bottom. The separation column neck positioning plate 4 supports the neck of the separation column 12 and provides reliable fixing and positioning. The quick-change head 11 is installed on the separation column bottom positioning plate 3, and is used to connect to the separation column 12 and external pipelines. The separation column 12 is supported on the separation column neck positioning plate 4 by its neck, and its bottom end is inserted into one end of the quick-change head 11. The other end of the quick-change head 11 is connected to the external pipeline to allow for media flow. The handle operation structure is installed on the top of the vertical plate 2 and fixedly connected to the upper end of the filling rod 10. By operating the handle, the filling rod 10 can be driven to move up and down vertically. The lower end of the filling rod 10 is inserted and connected to the top of the separation column 12. An internal filling channel is provided at the lower end for media injection. Specifically, one end of the filling channel connects to the top of the separation column 12, and the other end connects to an external pipeline. This installation and positioning device features a compact design, convenient operation, and efficient installation, positioning, and filling of the separation column. Furthermore, the quick-connect head 11 ensures rapid connection to external pipelines.

[0042] Furthermore, the structural design of the separation column neck positioning plate 4 matches the neck profile of the separation column 12, and it is provided with a corresponding groove. This groove is used to precisely support and fix the neck of the separation column 12, ensuring the stability of the separation column during installation and avoiding positioning deviations caused by shaking. The top of the separation column bottom positioning plate 3 is designed with a dedicated quick-connect head mounting position, and a mounting hole is provided in the center of the quick-connect head mounting position for the fixed connection of the quick-connect head 11. The quick-connect head 11 is firmly fixed to the bottom positioning plate through the mounting hole, thereby providing support for a reliable connection between the separation column 12 and the external pipeline. The quick-connect head 11 has a through hole inside, and its upper end is connected to the bottom of the separation column 12 by a quick-plug connection method to achieve quick installation and disassembly. The lower end of the quick-connect head 11 is designed with a quick-plug structure compatible with external pipelines. Through this structure, it can be quickly connected to external pipelines to form a fluid channel, facilitating the flow and replacement of media.

[0043] The support structure also includes two first connecting plates 6 symmetrically spaced at the top of the upright plate 2. Each first connecting plate 6 has a mounting hole, and the two mounting holes are interconnected to form a fixed fulcrum for mounting the handle operating structure. The handle operating structure includes a pin 7, a handle 8, and a second connecting plate 9. Specifically, the pin 7 passes through two first connecting plates 6 and is mounted between them. The pin 7 can rotate freely around the mounting hole of the first connecting plate 6, driving the up-and-down movement of the filling rod 10. Two second connecting plates 9 are provided, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the handle 8. One end of each second connecting plate 9 is rotatably connected to the handle 8 via a pin, and the other end is rotatably connected to the top of the filling rod 10 via a pin. When the pin 7 drives the handle 8 to rotate around the mounting hole of the first connecting plate 6, the two second connecting plates 9 move synchronously, thereby driving the filling rod 10 to move vertically. Through this design, the handle operating structure can achieve efficient driving of the filling rod 10 with a small operating force, thereby controlling the separation column 12 and its positioning installation. The design of this structure is reasonable and compact. The mounting holes of the first connecting plate 6 provide stable support for the handle operation structure, while the symmetrically arranged second connecting plates 9 improve the overall uniformity of force distribution.

[0044] The installation and positioning device for the separation column also includes a filling rod positioning plate 5. The filling rod positioning plate 5 is fixedly mounted on the upright plate 2 and located between the handle operating structure and the separation column neck positioning plate 4. Its main function is to guide and position the vertical movement of the filling rod 11. The filling rod positioning plate 5 has a guide hole that extends through the entire plate, used for the insertion and guidance of the filling rod 11 to ensure smooth vertical movement. Furthermore, two internally threaded holes are symmetrically arranged on the top of the filling rod positioning plate 5 outside the edge of the guide hole for installing a limiting structure. A limiting baffle is fitted around the filling rod 11, the outer diameter of which is smaller than the minimum distance between the two internally threaded holes. After the filling rod 11 and the separation column 12 are installed, the limiting baffle is tightly attached to the top surface of the filling rod positioning plate 5. The limiting baffle is fixed in the two internal threaded holes by bolts with flanged faces. After the bolts are tightened, the limiting baffle is firmly pressed, thereby effectively positioning the filling rod 11 and preventing unnecessary displacement in the vertical direction. The limiting baffle can be made of rubber, and its inner diameter is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the filling rod 11. In this way, the limiting baffle can fit tightly against the filling rod during installation, further enhancing the fixing effect of the filling rod, while also playing a certain role in shock absorption and protection, extending the service life of the device.

[0045] As per the instruction manual Figure 2-3The top of the filling rod 10 is provided with a pin hole 100, which is used to achieve a rotatable connection with the second connecting plate 9 through a pin shaft, thereby ensuring the driving effect of the filling rod 10 when the handle is operated. The bottom of the filling rod 10 is provided with a first quick-connect spout 101 for quick connection with the separation column 12, facilitating the input of the medium. The filling rod 10 has an internal filling channel 102 located at the bottom end of the filling rod 10 and adopts an L-shaped structure design. Its inlet end extends along the outer wall of the filling rod 10 to the bottom of the first quick-connect spout 101, and the inlet end is used to connect with external pipelines. The connection method can be a quick-connect interface. This L-shaped filling channel design optimizes the medium flow path, making the filling process smoother, while reducing resistance and stagnation areas, improving overall work efficiency. Through the connection of the first quick-connect spout 101, the filling channel 102 can quickly connect the separation column and external pipelines, ensuring efficient transfer of the medium between different components.

[0046] As per the instruction manual Figure 4 The top of the separation column 12 is designed with a media inlet 120, which uses a quick-connect connection to precisely mate with the first quick-connect nozzle 101, enabling efficient media input. The bottom of the separation column 12 is provided with a second quick-connect nozzle 121 for connection to the upper end of the quick-connect head 11. The second quick-connect nozzle 121 also uses a quick-connect structure, ensuring a reliable and tight connection with the quick-connect head 11, guaranteeing smooth media flow between the separation column and the quick-connect head. Through the quick-connect design of the media inlet 120 and the second quick-connect nozzle 121, the separation column 12 achieves rapid connection to the upper and lower piping systems. The standardized design of the top and bottom interfaces not only simplifies the installation process but also reduces the complexity of equipment maintenance.

[0047] As per the instruction manual Figure 5 The installation process of the separation column 12 of this utility model is as follows:

[0048] First, confirm that the separator column 12, quick-connect head 11, filling rod 10, and related components (such as the separator column neck positioning plate 4, separator column bottom positioning plate 3, handle operating structure, etc.) are all in good condition and undamaged. Check that all connecting parts of the device (such as quick-connect interface, quick-connect nozzle 101, quick-connect head 11) are clean and free of foreign objects to ensure smooth installation.

[0049] Then, fix the quick-connect head 11 into the quick-connect head mounting position on the bottom positioning plate 3 of the separation column. Secure the quick-connect head firmly with bolts through the mounting holes on the quick-connect head mounting position to ensure its stability. Check that the through hole of the quick-connect head 11 is aligned with the quick-connect interface for external pipeline connection to facilitate subsequent connection.

[0050] Next, place the neck of the separator column 12 into the slot of the separator column neck positioning plate 4. The slot design precisely matches the profile of the separator column 12 neck, ensuring stable positioning of the separator column. Confirm that the separator column neck is in tight contact with the slot to avoid shaking or displacement. Align the second quick-connect nozzle 121 of the separator column 12 with the upper quick-connect interface of the quick-connect head 11, and gently press it in the vertical direction to ensure that the quick-connect nozzle is fully embedded in the quick-connect interface of the quick-connect head 11, forming a reliable connection. Check that the connection is secure to ensure there is no loosening or leakage.

[0051] Install the limiting stop plate and fit it onto the outside of the filling rod 10, ensuring it aligns with the top of the filling rod positioning plate 5. Adjust the position of the filling rod positioning plate 5 to ensure the filling rod 10 moves smoothly through the guide hole in the positioning plate 5. Raise the filling rod 10 to a suitable height and insert the bottom end of the filling rod into the medium inlet 120 at the top of the separating column 12. Ensure the first quick-connect nozzle 101 of the filling rod 10 is fully aligned with the medium inlet 120 of the separating column 12, forming a sealed connection. Check the tightness of the contact between the filling rod and the top of the separating column to ensure the integrity of the medium flow path. Use bolts with flanged faces to tighten the limiting stop plate to the internal threaded hole on the filling rod positioning plate, completing the limiting and fixing of the filling rod.

[0052] Connect the quick-connect interface of the external pipeline to the lower quick-connect structure of the quick-connect head 11, ensuring a tight fit and forming a smooth fluid passage. Confirm that the connection between the separation column 12, the quick-connect head 11, and the external pipeline is secure to prevent leakage. After installation, perform a system test by injecting media to check the tightness of each connection. Confirm that the connections of the separation column, the filling rod, and the quick-connect head are stable, the media flow is unobstructed, and the entire device is functioning normally.

[0053] This invention achieves stable positioning and rapid fixation of the separator column through the precise structure of the neck positioning plate and the bottom positioning plate. The handle operation structure and filling rod design simplify the operation process, reduce torque requirements, and improve installation and replacement efficiency. The quick-change head ensures high-precision connection with the separator column and external pipelines, effectively solving sealing problems and reducing the risk of media leakage. The filling channel is optimized with an L-shaped design, reducing flow resistance and media residue, thus improving efficiency. The groove of the neck positioning plate matches the separator column profile, enhancing installation accuracy. The overall structure is reasonable and suitable for scenarios with high-frequency replacement and high sealing requirements.
