Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of surfactant technology, specifically to a defoaming device for the research and development and production of surfactants. Background Technology

[0002] Surfactants are a class of special substances that significantly reduce the surface tension of liquids. Their unique molecular structure consists of a hydrophilic head group at one end and a hydrophobic tail chain at the other. In aqueous solutions, at low concentrations, they spontaneously aggregate on the liquid surface, with the hydrophilic head group penetrating the water and the hydrophobic tail chain exposed to the air, effectively reducing surface tension. For example, soap helps water spread better over dirty surfaces. At higher concentrations, surfactant molecules form micelles, with numerous molecules' hydrophobic tail chains clustered internally, while the hydrophilic head group contacts the water externally. This structure allows them to encapsulate and evenly disperse hydrophobic substances such as oil and dirt in the water, achieving a cleaning effect. Their applications span various industries: they aid in cleaning in everyday detergents, improve texture and stability in cosmetics, act as emulsifiers in the food industry, promote drug dissolution and absorption in the pharmaceutical industry, and help improve oil recovery rates during oil extraction. They are indispensable to modern industry and daily life.

[0003] According to the patent application "A defoaming device for surfactant production (Publication No.: CN 220779131U; Application No.: 202322441214.X)", the above application addresses the problem that "with the widespread application of surfactants, the demand for surfactants is gradually increasing. However, during the mixing and generation of surfactants, foam is easily formed on the surface of the surfactant, and the foam is prone to overflow, causing inconvenience to subsequent operations." However, in the above application, the defoaming device sprays liquid from the nozzle. The sprayed liquid comes into contact with the bubbles on the top of the surfactant solution in the device to perform defoaming treatment. However, the mixing of the sprayed liquid into the surfactant solution will cause errors in the solubility ratio of the surfactant solution. It is necessary to adjust the internal ratio of the surfactant solution in the pre-preparation process. Moreover, there are limitations on the ratio and time of the sprayed liquid, which increases the complexity of surfactant solution preparation and is inconvenient for operators to use.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0024] This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Combination Figures 1 to 4 A defoaming device for developing and producing surfactants includes a preparation vessel 3, with an inlet 31 fixedly connected to the top left side of the preparation vessel 3, an outlet 32 ​​fixedly connected to the bottom right side of the preparation vessel 3, a support leg 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer ring of the preparation vessel 3, a preparation mechanism 1 disposed inside the preparation vessel 3, and a defoaming mechanism 2 disposed at the top inside the preparation vessel 3.

[0027] The preparation mechanism 1 includes a driving component 11, a rotating component 12, and a stirring component 13. The driving component 11 is disposed inside the preparation vessel 3, the rotating component 12 is disposed on the outer ring of the driving component 11, and the stirring component 13 is disposed on the outer side of the rotating component 12.

[0028] Drive assembly 11 includes a drive motor 1101, which is fixedly connected to the top of the preparation vessel 3. A rotating shaft 1102 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drive motor 1101. The rotating shaft 1102 is rotatably connected to the top of the preparation vessel 3. Supporting rotating cylinders 1103 are rotatably connected to the upper and lower sides of the outer ring of the rotating shaft 1102. The supporting rotating cylinders 1103 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides inside the preparation vessel 3. Rotation assembly 12 includes a rotating rod 1201. 1. Fixedly connected to the outer ring of the rotating shaft 1102, the outer end of the rotating rod 1201 is slidably connected to the rotating frame 1202, the rotating frame 1202 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the preparation vessel 3, the stirring assembly 13 includes a stirring blade 1301, the stirring blade 1301 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the rotating rod 1201, the inner side of the stirring blade 1301 is fixedly connected to a reinforcing ring 1302, the reinforcing ring 1302 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the rotating rod 1201, and the reinforcing ring 1302 is sleeved on the outer ring of the rotating shaft 1102.

[0029] Furthermore, the operator only needs to start the drive motor 1101 to stir the surfactant solution entering the preparation vessel 3, so that the bubbles inside the surfactant solution gradually rise to the top, causing the bubbles inside the surfactant solution to detach, thus completing the separation process of the surfactant solution and the bubbles. The operation is simple and convenient for the operator to use. At the same time, the setting of the rotating frame 1202 limits the rotation of the rotating rod 1201, increasing the stability of the rotating rod 1201 during the rotation process.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, the defoaming mechanism 2 includes a support component 21 and a defoaming component 22. The support component 21 is disposed at the top of the inner ring of the preparation vessel 3, and the defoaming component 22 is disposed inside the support component 21.

[0032] The support component 21 includes a rotating ring 2101, which is rotatably connected to the top of the outer ring of the rotating shaft 1102. A fixing ring 2102 is provided on the outer ring of the rotating ring 2101, and the fixing ring 2102 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner ring of the preparation vessel 3. The defoaming component 22 includes a fixing plate 2201, which is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the rotating ring 2101 and the inner ring of the fixing ring 2102. A defoaming impact pin 2202 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing plate 2201.

[0033] Furthermore, the defoaming pin 2202 is positioned at the bottom of the fixed plate 2201 and contacts the floating bubbles. This allows the floating bubbles, which are agitated by the stirring blade 1301 and rotate with the surfactant solution, to contact the defoaming pin 2202, physically breaking up the bubbles in the surfactant solution. This completes the comprehensive defoaming treatment of the bubbles contained in the surfactant solution in the preparation vessel 3. During the defoaming process, this device does not affect the proportion of each component in the surfactant solution, can work for a long time without limiting the defoaming time, and is simple to operate and easy for staff to use.

[0034] In actual operation, when this device is used and defoaming of the surfactant solution is required, the operator first pours the surfactant solution into the preparation vessel 3 through the feed port 31. Then, the operator starts the drive motor 1101. The drive motor 1101 drives the rotating rod 1201 to rotate through the rotating shaft 1102. The rotation of the rotating rod 1201 drives the stirring blade 1301 to rotate. The rotation of the stirring blade 1301 agitates the surfactant solution in the preparation vessel 3, causing the bubbles in the surfactant solution to gradually rotate and float to the surface. This causes the bubbles in the surfactant solution to gradually separate from the surfactant solution. Then, the rotation of the surfactant solution causes the floating bubbles to rotate as well. The rotating bubbles come into contact with the defoaming pin 2202 and break one by one until all the floating bubbles in the preparation vessel 3 are eliminated, thus completing the defoaming treatment of the surfactant solution.
