Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soapberry acidified oil production technology, and in particular to a soapberry acidification reactor. Background Technology
[0002] Acidified oil refers to the oil obtained by acidifying soap residue, a byproduct of oil refining plants. Acidified oil is essentially fatty acid, containing pigments and various components such as unacidified triglycerides, diglycerides, and monoglycerides (neutral oil). In the production process of soapberry acidified oil, soapberries are often placed in a reaction tank and 7% concentrated sulfuric acid is added for acidification.
[0003] When soapberry undergoes an acidification reaction, the liquid inside needs to be heated. For example, Chinese patent CN219792896U discloses a soapberry acidification oil reaction tank. This reaction tank is equipped with a drive motor, threaded column, mounting plate and mounting groove to facilitate the control of the heating rod to move up and down, so that the liquid inside the reaction tank is heated evenly, which is beneficial to improving the production efficiency of acidified oil. However, the contact surface between the heating rod and the liquid is fixed during the up and down movement, the heating speed is slow and the acidification reaction efficiency of soapberry is low. Therefore, we propose a soapberry acidification reactor. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a soap foot acidification reactor with a fast reaction effect.
[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a soapstock acidification reactor, comprising a tank body, an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe connected to the tank body, a lifting frame that slides up and down in the tank body, a driving assembly installed on the tank body to drive the lifting frame to slide up and down, and a connecting assembly connecting the lifting frame and the tank body. A heating assembly that penetrates its inner wall is rotatably connected to the lifting frame. A rack plate with one end meshing with the heating assembly is installed on the inner wall of the tank body. A limiting assembly that restricts the movement of the connecting assembly is also installed on the tank body. A connecting rod that the lifting frame can pass through is installed on the driving assembly.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the raw materials to be reacted enter the tank through the inlet pipe. The heating component begins to heat the liquid in the tank. Then, the drive component starts, causing the heating component to move up and down in the tank. At the same time, the heating component engages with the rack plate, so that the heating component can mix the liquid while heating it, expanding the contact area between the liquid and the heating component. The heating speed is faster and more uniform, which is beneficial to improving the soap acidification reaction. When the heating component needs to be maintained, the limiting component can be removed so that it no longer blocks the connecting component. When the drive component drives the lifting frame to move upward continuously, the lifting frame can be removed from the connecting rod, and then the heating component can be maintained. When installing the heating component, the lifting frame is directly fitted onto the connecting rod. Under the action of gravity, the drive component starts and drives the lifting frame to move downward automatically, reheating the liquid to be reacted. The entire installation process does not require manual alignment of the lifting frame and the drive component, making installation more convenient.
[0007] A further feature of this invention is that the driving assembly includes a threaded post rotatably connected to the pool body and a drive motor mounted on the pool body to drive the threaded post to rotate.
[0008] A further feature of this invention is that the lifting frame is threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded post.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive motor starts and drives the threaded column to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. The lifting frame slides up and down in the tank and is threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded column, so that the lifting frame can drive the heating component to move up and down to heat the liquid to be reacted.
[0010] A further feature of this invention is that the connecting component includes a connecting groove formed on the pool body and a connecting block slidably installed in the connecting groove and connected to the lifting frame.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting block slides up and down in the connecting groove when the lifting frame moves, thereby improving the stability of the lifting frame.
[0012] A further feature of this invention is that the limiting component includes a threaded groove formed on the pool body and communicating with the top wall of the connecting groove, and a baffle threadedly connected to the threaded groove.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating baffle is connected or separated from the threaded groove. When the heating component heats the liquid to be reacted, the baffle is connected to the threaded groove to block the lifting frame from the top, preventing the lifting frame from separating from the threaded column. When the heating component needs maintenance, the baffle is separated from the threaded groove so that it no longer blocks the lifting frame, making it easy to separate the lifting frame from the threaded column and remove the heating component for maintenance.
[0014] A further feature of this invention is that the connecting rod is mounted on the top of the threaded column, and the connecting rod is a smooth rod.
[0015] A further feature of this invention is that the diameter of the threaded groove is greater than the diameter of the connecting groove, the top of the threaded post is flush with the inner top wall of the connecting groove, and the diameter of the connecting rod is smaller than the diameter of the threaded post.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when removing the heating components on the lifting frame for maintenance, the drive motor drives the lifting frame to move continuously upward on the threaded column until the lifting frame is fitted onto the outside of the connecting rod. The smooth connecting rod allows the lifting frame to be removed directly. During installation, the lifting frame can also be directly aligned with the connecting rod. Under the action of gravity, the threaded column rotates, causing the lifting frame to move automatically downward, and the liquid to be reacted is reheated. The entire installation process does not require manual alignment of the lifting frame with the threaded column; the lifting frame can simply be passed through the connecting rod, making installation more convenient.
[0017] A further feature of this invention is that the heating assembly includes a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the lifting frame, a plurality of heating plates are bolted to the outside of the rotating shaft, and a gear that meshes with the rack plate is installed on one side of the rotating shaft through the lifting frame.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the rotating shaft slides up and down with the lifting frame outside the threaded column, the gear meshes with the rack plate, so that the rotating shaft can drive multiple heating plates to rotate inside the lifting frame. While the heating plates move up and down to heat the liquid, they can also mix the liquid, expand the contact area between the liquid and the heating components, and make the heating speed faster and more uniform, which is beneficial to improving the soap acidification reaction.
[0019] A further feature of this invention is that a support column is installed at the bottom of the pool body, and the support column and the pool body are an integrated structure.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the support column provides support for the pool body, and the integrated design helps to improve the stability of the support column.
[0021] A further feature of this invention is that an observation window and a controller are also installed on the pool body.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the observation window can observe the heating reaction in the tank, and the controller can be electrically connected to the drive motor and heating plate to control the start and stop of the drive motor and heating plate.
[0023] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0024] 1. The raw materials to be reacted enter the tank through the inlet pipe. The heating component starts to heat the liquid in the tank. Then, the drive component starts to move the heating component up and down in the tank. At the same time, the heating component engages with the rack plate, so that the heating component can mix the liquid while heating it up and down, expand the contact area between the liquid and the heating component, and make the heating speed faster and more uniform, which is beneficial to improving the acidification reaction of soap.
[0025] 2. When the heating component needs maintenance, remove the limit component so that it no longer blocks the connecting component. When the drive component drives the lifting frame to move continuously upward, the lifting frame can be removed from the connecting rod, and then the heating component can be maintained.
[0026] 3. When installing the heating component, the lifting frame is directly fitted onto the connecting rod. Under the action of gravity, the drive component starts and drives the lifting frame to move down automatically, reheating the liquid to be reacted. The entire installation process does not require manual alignment of the lifting frame with the drive component. The lifting frame can be directly passed through the connecting rod, making installation more convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0032] Please see Figure 1-2 This utility model provides a soap foot acidification reactor, including a tank body 1, an inlet pipe 2 and an outlet pipe 3 connected to the tank body 1, a lifting frame 4 that slides up and down inside the tank body 1, a driving assembly 5 installed on the tank body 1 to drive the lifting frame 4 to slide up and down, and a connecting assembly 6 connecting the lifting frame 4 and the tank body 1. A heating assembly 7 is rotatably connected to the lifting frame 4 and penetrates its inner wall. A rack plate 8 with one end meshing with the heating assembly 7 is installed on the inner wall of the tank body 1. A limiting assembly 9 is also installed on the tank body 1 to restrict the movement of the connecting assembly 6. A connecting rod 10 that the lifting frame 4 can pass through is installed on the driving assembly 5.
[0033] The raw materials to be reacted enter the tank 1 through the liquid inlet pipe 2. The heating component 7 starts to heat the liquid in the tank 1. Then, the drive component 5 starts, causing the heating component 7 to move up and down in the tank 1. At the same time, the heating component 7 engages with the rack plate 8, so that the heating component 7 can mix the liquid while heating it, expanding the contact area between the liquid and the heating component 7. The heating speed is faster and more uniform, which is beneficial to improving the soap acidification reaction. When the heating component 7 needs to be maintained, the limiting component 9 is removed so that it no longer blocks the connecting component 6. When the drive component 5 drives the lifting frame 4 to move upward continuously, the lifting frame 4 can be removed from the connecting rod 10, and then the heating component 7 can be maintained. When installing the heating component 7, the lifting frame 4 is directly fitted onto the connecting rod 10. Under the action of gravity, the drive component 5 starts and drives the lifting frame 4 to move downward automatically, reheating the liquid to be reacted. The entire installation process does not require manual alignment of the lifting frame 4 and the drive component 5, making the installation more convenient.
[0034] The driving component 5 includes a threaded post 51 rotatably connected to the pool body 1 and a driving motor 52 mounted on the pool body 1 to drive the threaded post 51 to rotate. The lifting frame 4 is threaded to the outside of the threaded post 51. When the driving motor 52 is started, it drives the threaded post 51 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. The lifting frame 4 slides up and down inside the pool body 1 and is threaded to the outside of the threaded post 51, so that the lifting frame 4 can drive the heating component 7 to move up and down to heat the liquid to be reacted.
[0035] The connecting component 6 includes a connecting groove 61 formed on the pool body 1 and a connecting block 62 slidably installed in the connecting groove 61 and connected to the lifting frame 4. When the lifting frame 4 moves, the connecting block 62 slides up and down in the connecting groove 61 to improve the stability of the lifting frame 4.
[0036] The limiting component 9 includes a threaded groove 91 formed on the pool body 1 and communicating with the inner top wall of the connecting groove 61, and a baffle 92 threadedly connected to the threaded groove 91. The baffle 92 is rotated to connect or separate from the threaded groove 91. When the heating component 7 heats the liquid to be reacted, the baffle 92 connects with the threaded groove 91 to block the lifting frame 4 from the top, preventing the lifting frame 4 from separating from the threaded column 51. When the heating component 7 needs maintenance, the baffle 92 separates from the threaded groove 91 so that it no longer blocks the lifting frame 4, making it easier for the lifting frame 4 to separate from the threaded column 51 and remove the heating component 7 for maintenance.
[0037] Furthermore, to facilitate the connection or separation of the baffle 92 from the threaded groove 91, a handle (not shown in the figure) can be installed on the top of the baffle 92.
[0038] The connecting rod 10 is installed on the top of the threaded post 51. The connecting rod 10 is a smooth rod. The diameter of the threaded groove 91 is larger than the diameter of the connecting groove 61. The top of the threaded post 51 is flush with the inner top wall of the connecting groove 61. The diameter of the connecting rod 10 is smaller than the diameter of the threaded post 51. When the heating component 7 on the lifting frame 4 is removed for maintenance, the drive motor 52 drives the lifting frame 4 to move continuously upward on the threaded post 51 until the lifting frame 4 is fitted onto the outside of the connecting rod 10. The smooth connecting rod 10 can be used to directly remove the lifting frame 4. During installation, the lifting frame 4 can also be directly aligned with the connecting rod 10. Under the action of gravity, the threaded post 51 rotates, causing the lifting frame 4 to automatically move downward and reheat the liquid to be reacted. The entire installation process does not require manual alignment of the lifting frame 4 with the threaded post 51. The lifting frame 4 can be directly passed through the connecting rod 10, making installation more convenient.
[0039] The heating assembly 7 includes a rotating shaft 71 rotatably connected to the lifting frame 4. Multiple heating plates 72 are bolted to the outside of the rotating shaft 71. One side of the rotating shaft 71 passes through the lifting frame 4 and is equipped with a gear 73 that meshes with the rack plate 8. When the rotating shaft 71 slides up and down with the lifting frame 4 outside the threaded column 51, the gear 73 meshes with the rack plate 8, so that the rotating shaft 71 can drive the multiple heating plates 72 to rotate inside the lifting frame 4. While the heating plates 72 move up and down to heat the liquid, they can also mix the liquid, expand the contact area between the liquid and the heating assembly 7, and make the heating speed faster and more uniform, which is beneficial to improving the soap acidification reaction.
[0040] A support column 11 is installed at the bottom of the pool body 1. The support column 11 and the pool body 1 are an integrated structure. The support column 11 provides support for the pool body 1. The integrated design helps to improve the stability of the support column 11.
[0041] The pool body 1 is also equipped with an observation window 12 and a controller 13. The observation window 12 can observe the heating reaction in the pool body 1, and the controller 13 can be electrically connected to the drive motor 52 and the heating plate 72 to control the start and stop of the drive motor 52 and the heating plate 72.
[0042] Furthermore, in order to improve the service life of the various components in the tank 1, the exterior of the components that come into contact with the reaction liquid in the tank 1 are coated with an anti-corrosion coating.
