Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sponge titanium production technology, specifically to a heat insulation device for a reactor used in sponge titanium production. Background Technology
[0002] The reactor used in the production of sponge titanium is a key piece of equipment in the process. The vacuum distillation reactor distills the product after the reduction reaction under high temperature and high vacuum conditions, causing impurities such as magnesium chloride and residual magnesium to volatilize and be discharged from the reactor, thereby obtaining pure sponge titanium.
[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent CN217709628U, which discloses a heat insulation device for a reactor used in the production of sponge titanium. The device includes a reflector with a centrally located second hole concentric with the first hole and of the same diameter. The reflector is detachably connected to the lower surface of the cover. This device isolates heat from the reactor, reduces the temperature of the reactor's rubber gasket, and prevents deformation or damage to the gasket at high temperatures, thus improving airtightness and product quality.
[0004] However, in existing technologies, with prolonged exposure to temperature and repeated temperature fluctuations during production, insulation materials may age or pulverize, resulting in excessively high external temperatures outside the reactor. This application aims to address the issue of excessively high external reactor temperatures in existing technologies, which not only wastes energy but also poses safety hazards to surrounding equipment and personnel. By enclosing the reactor with an insulation layer, heat leakage can be prevented, and direct contact between workers and the reactor can be avoided, thus improving safety. Therefore, a new solution is needed to address this problem. Utility Model Content
[0005] The existing technology mentioned above has shortcomings and defects, such as the excessively high external temperature of the reactor due to prolonged temperature action and repeated temperature rises and falls during the production process, which leads to energy waste and safety hazards for operators.
[0006] The present invention discloses a heat insulation device for a reactor used in the production of sponge titanium, comprising a main body, on which a first fixing plate and a second fixing plate are installed, a lifting plate is provided between the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate, a heat insulation cloth is provided between the lifting plate and the first fixing plate, and a lifting mechanism is provided between the lifting plate and the second fixing plate.
[0007] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a screw rod, one end of which is rotatably mounted on the fixed plate, and the other end of which is rotatably mounted on the fixed plate. The screw rod is threadedly connected to the lifting plate, and a drive source is provided at the power end of the screw rod.
[0008] Furthermore, a second screw is provided on the side of the first fixed plate away from the first screw. The two ends of the second screw are rotatably connected to the first fixed plate and the second fixed plate, respectively. The second screw is threadedly connected to the lifting plate. A transmission assembly is provided between the first screw and the second screw.
[0009] Furthermore, the transmission assembly includes gears, and there are two gears. The two gears are respectively mounted on the first screw and the second screw, and a gear ring meshes between the two gears. The gear ring is rotatably mounted on the second fixed plate.
[0010] Furthermore, a limiting plate is provided above the toothed ring, and multiple limiting plates are provided. The multiple limiting plates are evenly distributed around the circumference, and the limiting plates are connected to the second fixing plate by fixing bolts.
[0011] Furthermore, the heat insulation cloth is provided with a connector, the connector is provided with a solenoid valve, and an aluminum silicate fiber felt is provided between the lifting plate and the second fixed plate.
[0012] Furthermore, both ends of the first screw and the second screw are provided with bearings, which are mounted on the corresponding first fixing plate or second fixing plate, and the first screw and the second screw are symmetrically arranged about the main body.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. This utility model is equipped with components such as a screw, a fixing plate, a second fixing plate, a lifting plate, and a heat insulation cloth. During operation, the screw, fixing plate, and fixing plate work together to drive the lifting plate to move. The lifting plate then moves one end of the heat insulation cloth. When the lifting plate and fixing plate are combined, they wrap around the main body, thus achieving a heat insulation effect and preventing workers from directly contacting the main body and causing injury.
[0015] 2. This utility model includes components such as a second screw, a gear ring, a gear, a solenoid valve, and a connector. Through the cooperation between the solenoid valve and the connector, heat-insulating gas can be delivered between the heat-insulating cloth and the main body, thereby further improving the heat insulation effect and enhancing the safety of the device. Furthermore, through the cooperation between the second screw, the gear ring, and the gear, the first and second screws rotate synchronously, achieving a uniform force distribution on both ends of the lifting plate and improving the stability of the device during operation.

[0022] The following illustrations will reveal several embodiments of the present invention. For clarity, many physical details will be described in the following description. However, it should be understood that these physical details should not be used to limit the present invention. That is, in some embodiments of the present invention, these physical details are not essential. Furthermore, for the sake of simplicity, some conventional structures and components will be shown in a simple schematic manner in the illustrations.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 The present invention relates to a heat insulation device for a reactor used in the production of sponge titanium, comprising a main body 1, a support foot 15 at the lower end of the main body 1, a cover plate 16 at the upper end of the main body 1, a fixing plate 2 and a fixing plate 3 installed on the main body 1, a lifting plate 4 between the fixing plate 2 and the fixing plate 3, a heat insulation cloth 5 between the lifting plate 4 and the fixing plate 2, the heat insulation cloth 5 being made of high silica fiber, and a lifting mechanism between the lifting plate 4 and the fixing plate 3.
[0024] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the lifting mechanism includes a screw 6. One end of the screw 6 is rotatably mounted on a fixed plate 2, and the other end of the screw 6 is rotatably mounted on a fixed plate 3. The screw 6 is threadedly connected to the lifting plate 4. The power end of the screw 6 is equipped with a drive source. For the drive source, such as the servo motor 10 commonly found in the market, the specific structure and working principle are not described in detail or limited here.
[0025] In this embodiment, a second screw 7 is provided on the side of the fixing plate 2 away from the screw 6. The two ends of the second screw 7 are rotatably connected to the fixing plate 2 and the fixing plate 3 respectively. The second screw 7 is threadedly connected to the lifting plate 4. A transmission assembly is provided between the screw 6 and the second screw 7.
[0026] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the transmission assembly includes gears 8, and there are two gears 8. The two gears 8 are respectively mounted on screw 6 and screw 7. A gear ring 9 meshes between the two gears 8. The gear ring 9 is rotatably mounted on the fixed plate 3. Through the mutual cooperation between the gear ring 9 and the gears 8, screw 6 and screw 7 can rotate synchronously during operation.
[0027] In this embodiment, a limiting plate 12 is provided above the toothed ring 9. Multiple limiting plates 12 are provided and are evenly distributed around the circumference. The limiting plates 12 are connected to the fixing plate 3 by fixing bolts 13. The fixing bolts 13 and the limiting plates 12 cooperate with each other to limit the position of the toothed ring 9, prevent the toothed ring 9 from shifting during operation, and improve the stability of the device during operation.
[0028] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the heat insulation cloth 5 is provided with a connector 11, and the connector 11 is provided with a solenoid valve 14. Aluminum silicate fiber felt is provided between the lifting plate 4 and the fixed plate 3. The heat insulation cloth 5 is connected to an external gas tank through a connecting pipe. The gas tank contains heat insulation gas, such as nitrogen, helium, argon, carbon dioxide, krypton, etc.
[0029] In this embodiment, bearings are provided at both ends of screw 6 and screw 7. The bearings are installed on the corresponding fixing plate 2 or fixing plate 3. The bearings reduce the friction when screw 6 and screw 7 rotate. Screw 6 and screw 7 are symmetrically arranged about the main body 1, so that the two ends of the lifting plate 4 are subjected to uniform force, thereby improving the stability of the lifting plate 4 during operation.
[0030] The implementation principle is as follows: When heat insulation is required through the heat insulation cloth 5, the operator drives the screw 6 to rotate via the servo motor 10. The screw 6 drives the gear 8 to rotate, the gear 8 drives the gear ring 9 to rotate, and the gear ring 9 drives another gear 8 to rotate. At the same time, the gear 8 drives the corresponding screw 7 to rotate. The screw 6 and the screw 7 drive the lifting plate 4 to move upward. The lifting plate 4 drives the upper end of the heat insulation cloth 5 to move accordingly until the lifting plate 4 and the fixed plate 3 are combined and the servo motor 10 stops working. By connecting the connector 11 to the external gas tank and opening the solenoid valve 14, heat insulation gas enters between the heat insulation cloth 5 and the main body 1, thereby further improving the heat insulation effect.
