Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sodium sulfate processing technology, specifically to a vertical sodium sulfate crystallizer. Background Technology

[0002] Sodium sulfate is a salt formed by the combination of sulfate and sodium ions, with the chemical formula Na₂SO₄. Sodium sulfate is soluble in water, and its solution is mostly neutral. It is soluble in glycerol but insoluble in ethanol. It is an inorganic compound. High-purity, fine-particle anhydrous sodium sulfate is called Glauber's salt. Glauber's salt is a white, odorless, bitter-tasting crystal or powder. It is hygroscopic and appears as colorless, transparent, large crystals or small granular crystals. Sodium sulfate readily absorbs water when exposed to air, forming sodium sulfate decahydrate, also known as mirabilite. It is slightly alkaline and is mainly used in the manufacture of water glass, glass, porcelain glaze, pulp, refrigeration mixtures, detergents, desiccants, dye diluents, analytical chemical reagents, pharmaceuticals, and feed. At 241℃, sodium sulfate transforms into hexagonal crystals. In organic synthesis laboratories, sodium sulfate is a commonly used post-treatment desiccant. Upstream raw materials include sulfuric acid and caustic soda.

[0003] Sodium sulfate requires crystallization tanks during processing to crystallize it into another form for use. However, the crystallization process requires the flow of cooling brine, necessitating the circulation of cold water inside the crystallization tank for cooling. Therefore, a vertical sodium sulfate crystallizer was developed to address this need. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0028] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment proposes a vertical sodium sulfate crystallizer, including...

[0029] Crystallization tank 1, with a stirring motor 2 installed at the upper end of crystallization tank 1;

[0030] The flow throttling component 3 is disposed on one side of the crystallizer 1;

[0031] Crystallization stirring assembly 4 is installed inside crystallization tank 1;

[0032] The flow-throttling assembly 3 includes a guide pipe 3-1, which is connected to the side wall of the crystallizer 1. A throttling pipe 3-2 is inserted into the guide pipe 3-1.

[0033] In this embodiment, after rotating the drive shaft 3-6, the drive shaft 3-6 drives the drive gear 3-7 to rotate, and the drive gear 3-7 drives the driven gear 3-4 to rotate, thereby causing the throttling tube 3-2 to rotate on the guide tube 3-1. At this time, the intercepting plate 3-8 and the blocking plate 3-10 are closed, making the guide tube 3-1 in a blocked state. Conversely, the intercepting plate 3-8 and the blocking plate 3-10 form a flow port, thus presenting a guiding state.

[0034] Specifically, the crystallization stirring assembly 4 includes a stirring rod 4-1, which is located at the output end of the stirring motor 2 and inside the crystallization tank 1. The stirring rod 4-1 is provided with a stirring blade 4-2 on the end side wall of the stirring rod 4-1. The bottom of the stirring blade 4-2 is provided with an arc-shaped profile 4-3. The bottom of the crystallization tank 1 is provided with a drain port 4-4 and a drain pipe 4-5. The drain pipe 4-5 is provided with a plug 4-6 inside and a plug 4-7 is provided at the upper end of the plug 4-6. The plug 4-7 is embedded in the drain port 4-4.

[0035] In this embodiment, the stirring rod 4-1 is driven by the stirring motor 2, and the stirring blade 4-2 on the stirring rod 4-1 stirs the sodium sulfate inside the crystallization tank 1. The plug 4-6 is driven by the cylinder, and the plug 4-7 on the plug 4-6 seals the drain port 4-4. After the plug 4-6 descends, the drain port 4-4 opens, and the sodium sulfate inside the crystallization tank 1 will be discharged.

[0036] Furthermore, the inner wall of the guide tube 3-1 is provided with a sliding track 4-8, and the side wall of the plug 4-6 is provided with an insert groove 4-9, which is inserted into the sliding track 4-8.

[0037] In this embodiment, the mounting groove 4-9 on the plug 4-6 slides smoothly up and down on the sliding track 4-8.

[0038] Furthermore, a rotating disk 5 is provided at the end of the stirring rod 4-1. The stirring rod 4-1 and the positioning frame 3-5 are connected by a bearing. The throttling tube 3-2 and the guide tube 3-1 are connected by a rotating disk. The throttling tube 3-2 and the connecting tube 3-3 are connected by a fixed disk.

[0039] In this embodiment, the rotating disk 5 is used to manually control the rotation of the drive shafts 3-6.

[0040] Furthermore, the plug 4-6 has a filter mesh 6, the plug 4-6 has a circular structure, the outer contour of the plug 4-6 fits the inner wall of the guide tube 3-1, a part of the guide tube 3-1 is inserted into the crystallization tank 1, and the crystallization tank 1 and the guide tube 3-1 are sealed together.

[0041] In this embodiment, the filter mesh 6 is used to filter the discharged sodium sulfate, and large crystals can be crushed as the blocking plates 4-6 rise.

[0042] Furthermore, there is a pair of guide pipes 3-1, and the positioning frame 3-5 is located between the pair of guide pipes 3-1. The output end of the stirring motor 2 is inserted into the crystallization tank 1, and the stirring motor 2 and the crystallization tank 1 are fixedly connected by bolts.

[0043] When it is necessary to stir the sodium sulfate inside the crystallization tank 1, the stirring rod 4-1 is driven by the stirring motor 2, and the stirring blades 4-2 on the stirring rod 4-1 stir the sodium sulfate inside the crystallization tank 1. The plug 4-6 is driven by the cylinder, and the plug 4-7 on the plug 4-6 seals the drain port 4-4. After the plug 4-6 descends, the drain port 4-4 opens, and the sodium sulfate inside the crystallization tank 1 will be discharged. During the stirring process, the drive shaft 3-6 is rotated, and the drive shaft 3-6 drives the drive gear 3-7 to stir. Rotation drives the driven gear 3-7 to rotate the driven gear 3-4, causing the throttling tube 3-2 to rotate on the guide tube 3-1. At this time, the intercepting plate 3-8 and the blocking plate 3-10 are closed, making the guide tube 3-1 in a blocked state. Conversely, the intercepting plate 3-8 and the blocking plate 3-10 form a flow port, thus presenting a flow guiding state. The two guide tubes 3-1 are respectively connected to the discharge pipe and return pipe of the cooling brine, so that the cooling brine circulates inside the crystallization tank 1, which facilitates the crystallization effect of sodium sulfate inside the crystallization tank 1.
