Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fatty acid polyoxyethylene ether technology, specifically to a fatty acid polyoxyethylene ether decolorization device. Background Technology

[0002] Fatty acid polyoxyethylene ethers have hydrophilicity that can be controlled by adjusting the number of addition reactions with ethylene oxide, thus meeting the requirements of different application scenarios for the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of surfactants. In detergents, they help remove oil and stains, resulting in better cleaning. In cosmetics, they can emulsify oils and stabilize emulsions, and are gentle on the skin. In addition, fatty acid polyoxyethylene ethers have relatively good biodegradability and have a small impact on the environment.

[0003] In the process of realizing this utility model, the inventors discovered the following problems with the existing technology: 1. When fatty acid polyoxyethylene ether is decolorized by decolorizing liquid, the material needs to be in contact with the decolorizing agent for a long time, without sufficient time to fully react with the adsorbent. Under such circumstances, the colored impurities in fatty acid polyoxyethylene ether do not have enough time to fully react with the adsorbent, resulting in some pigments not being effectively adsorbed and the decolorization effect being incomplete. For example, some stubborn dark pigments may not be completely removed in a single contact, resulting in the final color of the product still being relatively dark. Therefore, in order to avoid the decolorized material containing some pigments, it is necessary to spend a long time for precipitation to mix the internal material with the decolorizing liquid; 2. The decolorization process of different batches will be affected by factors such as ambient temperature, resulting in unstable decolorization effect. Even if the stirring conditions are the same, the temperature difference in different seasons or different production environments will cause large fluctuations in the decolorization effect of the product, making it difficult to guarantee the consistency of product quality. Fatty acid polyoxyethylene ether becomes more viscous at lower temperatures, and uneven stirring will occur in some areas, affecting the decolorization effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a fatty acid polyoxyethylene ether decolorization device to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that temperature differences in different seasons or production environments can cause significant fluctuations in the decolorization effect of the product, making it difficult to guarantee the consistency of product quality. To achieve the above objective, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fatty acid polyoxyethylene ether decolorization device, comprising a tank, a control box mounted on one side of the tank via a support column, and a cover plate attached to the top of the tank;

[0005] The tank body has a second slot welded to its exterior. A drain pipe is inserted into the rear of the tank body, and a valve is threaded onto one side of the drain pipe. An electric heating tube is installed inside the tank body by screws, and a jacket is installed on one side of the electric heating tube by screws. A first circulation pump and a second circulation pump are connected to the front of the tank body by pipes. A second circulation pump is located on one side of the first circulation pump, and a storage box is inserted into one side of the second circulation pump. A first activated carbon is attached to the inside of the storage box. A first activated clay is attached to one side of the first activated carbon, and a second activated carbon is attached to the other side of the first activated clay.

[0006] The housing of a servo motor is mounted on the top of the cover plate by screws. A stirring shaft is mounted on the lower output shaft of the servo motor by bolts. A stirring blade is inserted into the outer wall of the stirring shaft. A first slot is welded on one side of the cover plate. A threaded screw is connected to the inside of the first slot. A thermocouple is mounted on the top of the cover plate by screws. A temperature controller is mounted on the top of the cover plate by screws.

[0007] The control box contains a circuit breaker mounted inside by screws. A contactor is located on one side of the circuit breaker. An overheat protector is located below the circuit breaker. A temperature sensor is located below the contactor. A control panel is mounted on the front of the control box by screws.

[0008] More preferably, the stirring shaft forms a rotating structure through stirring blades, and the stirring shaft forms a rotating structure through a servo motor.

[0009] More preferably, the storage box contains a first activated carbon, a first activated clay, a second activated carbon, a second activated clay, and diatomaceous earth arranged horizontally inside.

[0010] More preferably, the internal structural dimensions of the first slot are consistent with the external thread structural dimensions of the threaded rod, and the internal structural dimensions of the second slot are consistent with the external structural dimensions of the threaded rod.

[0011] More preferably, a plurality of cables are provided on one side of the control panel, and the control panel is connected to the circuit breaker and the circuit breaker is connected to the contactor, the overheat protector is connected to the control panel and the overheat protector is connected to the temperature sensor, the temperature sensor is connected to the temperature controller and the thermocouple is connected to the temperature sensor, and the jacket is connected to the electric heating tube and the electric heating tube is connected to the overheat protector.

[0012] More preferably, a pipe connection is provided on one side of the tank, and the tank is connected to the first circulation pump and the first circulation pump is connected to the storage box.

[0013] More preferably, one side of the storage box is provided with a pipe connection, and the storage box is connected to the second circulation pump and the second circulation pump is connected to the tank.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

The material passes through these decolorizing materials sequentially for decolorization. After decolorization, the material is returned to the tank by the second circulation pump for further heating and stirring, thus improving decolorization efficiency.

[0016] In this invention, thermocouples and temperature sensors detect the temperature inside the tank and transmit the temperature signal to the temperature controller. When the temperature is too high, the overheat protector will cut off the power to the electric heating tube to prevent damage to the equipment or affect the decolorization effect. The jacket and electric heating tube can heat the tank and control the temperature of the decolorization process to improve decolorization efficiency. This achieves temperature control and electrical protection of the decolorization process, ensuring that decolorization is carried out at a suitable temperature, improving the stability and safety of decolorization. Controlling the temperature during the decolorization process reduces the influence of environmental temperature and other factors on the decolorization effect, making the decolorization effect of different batches of products more stable and ensuring the consistency of product quality. Regardless of the season or production environment, a stable decolorization effect can be maintained through temperature control, improving the adaptability and reliability of production. At a suitable temperature, fatty acid polyoxyethylene ether will not be too viscous, and stirring will be more uniform, further improving the uniformity and stability of the decolorization effect.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a fatty acid polyoxyethylene ether decolorization device, including a tank 1, a control box 3 installed on one side of the tank 1 via a support column, and a cover plate 2 attached to the top of the tank 1.

[0025] A second slot 101 is welded to the outside of the tank body 1. A drain pipe 103 is inserted into the rear of the tank body 1. A valve 102 is threaded onto one side of the drain pipe 103. An electric heating tube 104 is installed inside the tank body 1 by screws. A jacket 105 is installed on one side of the electric heating tube 104 by screws. A first circulation pump 106 and a second circulation pump 113 are connected to the front of the tank body 1 by pipes. The second circulation pump 113 is located on one side of the first circulation pump 106. A storage box 107 is inserted into one side of the second circulation pump 113. A first activated carbon 112 is attached to the inside of the storage box 107. A first activated clay 111 is attached to one side of the first activated carbon 112.

Diatomaceous earth 108 is attached to the other side of the second activated clay 109.

[0026] The housing of the servo motor 205 is installed on the top of the cover plate 2 by screws. The output shaft of the servo motor 205 is bolted to the bottom of the output shaft. The stirring blade 204 is inserted into the outer wall of the stirring shaft 203. A first slot 202 is welded on one side of the cover plate 2. A threaded screw 201 is connected to the inside of the first slot 202. A thermocouple 206 is installed on the top of the cover plate 2 by screws. A temperature controller 207 is installed on the top of the cover plate 2 by screws.

[0027] Inside the control box 3, a circuit breaker 303 is installed by screws. A contactor 304 is provided on one side of the circuit breaker 303. An overheat protector 302 is provided below the circuit breaker 303. A temperature sensor 305 is provided below the contactor 304. A control panel 301 is installed at the front of the control box 3 by screws.

[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the stirring shaft 203 forms a rotating structure through the stirring blades 204, and the stirring shaft 203 also forms a rotating structure through the servo motor 205. The servo motor 205 drives the stirring shaft 203 to rotate, and the stirring blades 204 on the stirring shaft 203 rotate accordingly. Through rotation and stirring, the fatty acid polyoxyethylene ether to be decolorized can be fully mixed in the tank 1, improving the uniformity of contact with the decolorizing agent, accelerating the decolorization reaction, ensuring that the material can fully contact the decolorizing agent during the decolorization process, avoiding excessively high or low local concentrations that affect the decolorization effect, and improving the efficiency and uniformity of decolorization.

[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the storage box 107 contains horizontally arranged first activated carbon 112, first activated clay 111, second activated carbon 110, second activated clay 109, and diatomaceous earth 108.

The threaded rod 201 can tightly fix the cover plate 2 to the tank 1, which can ensure the sealing of the tank 1 during the decolorization process, prevent external impurities from entering and affecting the decolorization effect, and at the same time ensure the stability of the internal pressure, ensure the sealing of the decolorization device during operation, provide a stable environment for the decolorization reaction, and avoid external factors from interfering with the decolorization process.

[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, several cables are provided on one side of the control panel 301. The control panel 301 is connected to the circuit breaker 303, and the circuit breaker 303 is connected to the contactor 304. The overheat protector 302 is connected to the control panel 301, and the overheat protector 302 is connected to the temperature sensor 305. The temperature sensor 305 is connected to the temperature controller 207, and the thermocouple 206 is connected to the temperature sensor 305. The jacket 105 is connected to the electric heating element 104, and the electric heating element 104 is connected to the overheat protector 302. The control panel 301 is connected to the circuit breaker 303 via cables. Contactor 304, overheat protector 302, and temperature sensor 305 are connected to form a control system. Thermocouple 206 and temperature sensor 305 detect the temperature inside tank 1 and transmit the temperature signal to temperature controller 207. When the temperature is too high, overheat protector 302 will cut off the power to electric heating tube 104 to prevent the equipment from being damaged or the decolorization effect from being affected by the high temperature. Jacket 105 and electric heating tube 104 can heat tank 1 and control the temperature of the decolorization process to improve decolorization efficiency, realize temperature control and electrical protection of the decolorization process, ensure that decolorization is carried out at a suitable temperature, and improve the stability and safety of decolorization.

The tank 1 is connected to the first circulation pump 106 through the pipe, and the first circulation pump 106 is connected to the storage box 107. The first circulation pump 106 can transport the fatty acid polyoxyethylene ether in the tank 1 to the storage box 107, so that it can fully contact the decolorizing agent in the storage box 107 for decolorization. This realizes the circulation flow of the material between the tank 1 and the storage box 107, ensuring that the material can fully contact the decolorizing agent and improve the decolorization effect and efficiency.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a pipe is connected to one side of the storage box 107, and the storage box 107 is connected to the second circulation pump 113, and the second circulation pump 113 is connected to the tank 1.

[0034] The method of use and advantages of this utility model: The working process of this fatty acid polyoxyethylene ether decolorization device is as follows:

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the fatty acid polyoxyethylene ether to be decolorized is first placed into tank 1.

The mixing shaft 203 forms a rotating structure through the stirring blades 204, and the mixing shaft 203 also forms a rotating structure through the servo motor 205, making the internal mixing and heat mixing more uniform and facilitating decolorization. When the material reaches a certain temperature, the first circulation pump 106 is started to transport the material in the tank 1 to the storage box 107. One side of the tank 1 is connected to the first circulation pump 106 through a pipe, and the first circulation pump 106 is connected to the storage box 107.
