Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chemical equipment technology, and in particular to a polymerization reactor for producing cyclic rubber. Background Technology

[0002] Cyclic rubber is a rubber isomer with a ring structure formed within its molecule. Based on the degree of cyclization, it can be classified into partially cyclized or monocyclic rubber and fully cyclized or polycyclic rubber. Cyclic rubber can be produced from natural rubber or synthetic rubber (such as styrene-butadiene rubber) by heating or reacting with sulfuric acid, tin chloride, zinc powder, etc. The polymerization reactor plays a crucial role in the production of cyclic rubber, providing a sealed, high-pressure reaction environment that ensures the rubber monomers polymerize under suitable temperature and pressure, thereby generating cyclic rubber.

[0003] Patent CN214051630U discloses a stainless steel polymerization reactor for producing room temperature curing silicone rubber, including a motor, a frame at the bottom of the motor, an upper cover at the bottom of the frame, a reactor body below the upper cover, a lower cover below the reactor body, latches on both sides of the reactor body, a stirring shaft inside the reactor body, a stirring paddle on the outer wall of the stirring shaft, a discharge pipe on the right side inside the reactor body, and a discharge port at the bottom of the lower cover.

[0004] During operation, the polymerization reactor operates under high pressure and high heat, requiring staff to monitor the material temperature in real time to add additives and remove rubber as needed. Currently, temperature detection in the polymerization reactor involves using a thermocouple and an enamel-lined sleeve inserted into the material between the gaps in the agitator. However, this method prevents the agitator from fully mixing the material, and the material around the thermocouple has poor flowability, resulting in inaccurate temperature readings.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0020] This application discloses a polymerization reactor for producing cyclized rubber, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The apparatus includes a vessel body 1, which comprises a vessel frame and a vessel lid. A stirring assembly is installed inside the vessel body 1, including a rotating shaft 2. The rotating shaft 2 is coaxially mounted inside the vessel body 1 and rotatably connected to the vessel body 1. Multiple stirring blades 22 are spirally arranged on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 2. An installation space is provided inside the rotating shaft 2, and a thermocouple 4 is installed inside each stirring blade 22. The sensing end of the thermocouple 4 passes through and extends out of the stirring blade 22. A first drive assembly for driving the rotating shaft 2 to rotate is located at the top of the vessel body 1. A temperature display 5 is installed on the vessel body 1, and multiple thermocouples 4 are electrically connected to the temperature display 5. The internal temperature of the material at different heights within the vessel body 1 is detected by the thermocouples 4, and the temperature values ​​detected by the thermocouples 4 are displayed on the temperature display 5 for intuitive observation by the operator.

[0021] Specifically, the first drive assembly includes a drive motor 6, with the top end of the rotating shaft 2 extending out of the vessel lid of the vessel body 1, and a driven gear coaxially fixedly mounted on the top end of the rotating shaft 2. The drive motor 6 is fixedly mounted on the vessel lid, and the output end of the drive motor 6 is connected to the drive gear, which meshes with the driven gear. Several mounting ports 21 are provided on the side wall of the rotating shaft 2. The stirring blade 22 is hollow inside, and a connecting flange 31 is integrally fixed to one end of the stirring blade 22 near the rotating shaft 2. The connecting flange 31 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 2 by bolts. The thermocouple 4 is detachably installed inside the stirring blade 22. By disassembling the stirring blade 22 and the thermocouple 4, the thermocouple 4 can be repaired or replaced.

[0022] Reference Figure 4In this embodiment, a connecting cylinder 7 is detachably installed inside the rotating shaft 2. The connecting cylinder 7 has several interfaces 72 for thermocouples 4 to be inserted. The interfaces 72 on the connecting cylinder 7 correspond one-to-one with the mounting ports 21 on the rotating shaft 2. Several rod connecting pieces are fixed to the top of the connecting cylinder 7, and several mounting pieces are fixed to the inner wall of the rotating shaft 2. The mounting pieces and connecting pieces are connected and installed by bolts. A rotary conductive connector 71 is installed on the top of the connecting cylinder 7. The temperature display 5 is connected to each thermocouple 4 through the rotary conductive connector 71, so that the temperature display 5 remains connected to each thermocouple 4 when the rotating shaft 2 rotates.

[0023] Furthermore, a heat insulation layer is filled inside the stirring blade 22, and a baffle 34 is vertically installed inside the stirring blade 22. The baffle 34 divides the space between the stirring shaft and the connecting cylinder 7 into a U-shaped heat dissipation cavity. An exhaust port 32 is opened at the top of one side of the heat dissipation cavity. An air inlet 33 is opened on the outer wall of the part of the rotating shaft 2 that extends out of the lid, connecting to the other side of the heat dissipation cavity. An air supply assembly is provided at the top of the vessel body 1 for supplying air into the air inlet 33. Through the heat insulation layer in the stirring blade 22, the heat conducted to the thermocouple 4 electronic component end inside the stirring blade 22 when the material reaction in the vessel body 1 is exothermic can be reduced. Then, by supplying air into the vessel body 1 through the air supply assembly, the air in the heat dissipation cavity can be refreshed, providing conditions for the heat dissipation of the thermocouple 4 electronic component.

[0024] Specifically, the air supply assembly includes a fan 81, an air inlet pipe 82, and an air supply sleeve 83. The air supply sleeve 83 is fixedly installed on the vessel lid and rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 2. The air supply sleeve 83 is hollow inside, and an annular air supply port is provided on the inner side wall of the air supply sleeve 83 to maintain communication with the air inlet 33 on the rotating shaft 2. The air outlet of the fan 81 is connected to the air supply sleeve 83 through the air inlet pipe 82, thereby ensuring that the fan 81 can continuously supply air into the rotating shaft 2 during the rotation of the rotating shaft 2.

[0025] Furthermore, several auxiliary blades 11 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the vessel body 1. The end of the auxiliary blade 11 away from the inner wall of the vessel body 1 extends into the space between two vertical stirring blades 22. The tilting direction of the auxiliary blade 11 is opposite to that of the stirring blades 22. Through the synergistic action of the stirring blades 22 and the auxiliary blades 11, the material in the vessel body 1 can be stirred and mixed more evenly, and the reaction rate can be improved.
