Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ethanol distillation tower technology, and specifically relates to an ethanol distillation tower concentration detection device. Background Technology
[0002] Ethanol distillation columns are mainly used to purify ethanol in a mixture of ethanol and water to a higher concentration. The principle is to use the difference in boiling points between ethanol and water to achieve separation and purification through multiple partial vaporization and partial condensation processes. In order to ensure product quality, it is necessary to monitor the ethanol concentration at various locations in the column in real time during the distillation process to adjust and control operating parameters such as feed flow rate and temperature.
[0003] The publication number CN212904787U provides an ethanol distillation column concentration detection device, including a storage tank and a transition tank. The output pipeline includes a first pipeline, a second pipeline, and an inclined tube. One end of the first pipeline is connected to the gas outlet of the distillation column, and the other end of the first pipeline is connected to the storage tank through the inclined tube.
[0004] The aforementioned detection equipment facilitates the collection of condensed liquid ethanol in the output pipeline, preventing residual ethanol from being discharged and collected. However, when disassembling and assembling the detection probe, the probe slot needs to be manually opened or closed, which is not convenient for automatic sealing of the inside of the distillation column. Furthermore, due to the height of the column and the different ethanol concentrations at different heights, it is necessary to detect ethanol at different heights. The current detection equipment is not convenient for quick disassembly and assembly of the detection probe, and the wires of the detector body are prone to tangling during disassembly and assembly.

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. In this embodiment, the "front end" refers to... Figure 1 The left end of the direction shown is opposite to the direction of the "front end".
[0021] Please see Figure 1 An ethanol distillation column concentration detection device includes a detector body 1 and a fixing plate 5. The front end of the detector body 1 is equipped with a detection probe 2 via a connecting component 4. The detection probe 2 is used to detect the concentration of gaseous ethanol, which is displayed on a display screen in the detector body 1. The fixing plate 5 is provided with a sealing component 3, and the fixing plate 5 is provided with screw holes around its perimeter. The fixing plate 5 can be connected to the distillation column wall by bolts engaging with the screw holes or by welding.
[0022] Please see Figure 2The sealing assembly 3 includes a groove 7 formed along the thickness direction in the middle of a fixing plate 5. Fixing tubes 6 are symmetrically fixed to both sides of the groove 7. A sealing disc 10 is slidably mounted on the fixing tube 6. Ear plates are fixed to both sides of the sealing disc 10 and slidably mounted on the fixing tube 6. Guide rods 11 are fixed to the front end faces of the ear plates on both sides of the sealing disc 10. An axially retractable sliding rod 12 is slidably mounted inside the fixing tube 6. A spring 13 is fitted onto the sliding rod 12, and a washer is provided at the end of the sliding rod 12. A retaining ring is provided inside the fixing tube 6, and the front end of the spring 13 abuts against the retaining ring. The other end abuts against the washer, and the part of the sliding rod 12 protruding from the fixed tube 6 is fixedly connected to the guide rod 11; the front end of the rod groove 7 is provided with a sealing groove 9 that matches the sealing plate 10, and the end of the sealing plate 10 is provided with a boss, which is engaged with the sealing groove 9 to seal, thereby achieving the sealing inside the distillation column. The end is provided with a threaded groove 8 that cooperates with the connecting component 4. The rod groove 7 is used to insert the detection probe 2, and the diameter of the detection probe 2 matches the inner diameter of the rod groove 7. The diameters of the threaded groove 8 and the sealing groove 9 are larger than the diameter of the rod groove 7.
[0023] Specifically, when the detection probe 2 is inserted into the rod groove 7, the sealing plate 10 is pressed against the inside of the distillation column, and at the same time the spring 13 contracts, the sealing groove 9 opens, and the detection probe 2 can be used for detection. When the detection probe 2 is removed, the sealing plate 10 automatically slides backward and closes with the sealing groove 9 under the action of the spring 13, and the rod groove 7 automatically closes, thus achieving a seal inside the distillation column.
[0024] Please see Figure 3 The connecting component 4 includes a turntable 15 and a rotating sleeve. The rotating sleeve is fixedly connected to the detection probe 2, and a rotating shaft 14 is fixedly connected to the rotating sleeve. The turntable 15 is rotatably mounted on the rotating sleeve. The inner wall of the turntable 15 is provided with a groove that matches the rotating shaft 14, which realizes the axial positioning of the turntable 15 and the rotating sleeve, and at the same time provides a guiding effect for the turntable 15 to facilitate its rotation. The front end of the turntable 15 is provided with a threaded sleeve 16 that matches the threaded groove 8. When the turntable 15 rotates and connects with the threaded groove 8, it drives the detection probe 2 and the detector body 1 to move forward and backward, avoiding the entanglement of the wire. The end of the turntable 15 abuts against the detector body 1. The surface of the detector body 1 that abuts against the turntable 15 is provided with an annular guide rail, and the side wall of the end of the turntable 15 is provided with a sliding groove that matches the guide rail, which can reduce the friction between the turntable 15 and the detector body 1. At the same time, in conjunction with the friction texture provided on the outer wall of the end of the turntable 15, it further facilitates the rotation of the turntable 15 and can reduce the wear of the detector body 1.
[0025] Specifically, the turntable 15 rotates on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 14, causing the detector body 1 and the detection probe 2 to move forward and backward without rotating, thus reducing the winding of the wire. After the screw sleeve 16 is screwed into the screw groove 8, the detector body 1 and the detection probe 2 are quickly fixed.
[0026] Working principle: In actual operation, multiple fixing plates 5 are screwed or welded into the reserved holes at different heights on the wall of the distillation column. The concentration of gaseous ethanol inside the distillation column is detected by the detection probe 2 and displayed on the display screen in the detector body 1.
[0027] During testing, the testing probe 2 is inserted into the probe groove 7, and the sealing disc 10 is pushed open, causing the sealing disc 10 to move along... Figure 1 The front end slides in the direction shown, opening the sealing groove 9. During the sliding process of the sealing disc 10, the guide rod 11 is connected to the slide rod 12, causing the slide rod 12 to slide and drive the spring 13 to contract. Then the detection probe 2 extends into the distillation column for detection.
[0028] When the detection height needs to be changed, the detection probe 2 is taken out, and the sealing plate 10 slides to the rear end under the action of the spring 13 and engages with the sealing groove 9, so that the rod groove 7 is automatically sealed, eliminating the manual sealing operation step.
[0029] During the installation of the detection probe 2, since the connection line of the detector body 1 is fixed, after the detection probe 2 is inserted into the rod groove 7, the detector body 1 and the detection probe 2 move forward and backward without rotating by rotating the turntable 15. After the screw sleeve 16 is connected to the screw groove 8, the detector body 1 and the fixing plate 5 are fixed to each other, so as to realize the quick installation and disassembly of the detector body 1 and the detection probe 2, and avoid the tangling of the wire of the detector body 1.
[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made by those skilled in the art to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model without departing from the scope of the technical solution of this utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
