[0026] The technical scheme in the embodiment of the utility model will be described clearly and completely in the embodiment of the utility model in combination with the drawings. The embodiment described below is exemplary, and is used for explaining the utility model only, and can not be understood as the limitation of the utility model.

[0027] Embodiment one:

[0028] A kind of vacuum pipeline for improving ethanol recovery rate, such as Figures 1-4As shown, including plate heat exchanger 1, one side of plate heat exchanger 1 is fixedly connected with outlet pipe 2, outlet pipe 2 is communicated with ethanol recovery tank 3, cooling mechanism 4 is arranged in ethanol recovery tank 3, cooling mechanism 4 comprises spiral cooling pipe 401, the top of cooling pipe 401 is fixedly connected with guide plate 402, so that the ethanol after heat exchange can smoothly flow out and enter ethanol recovery tank 3, the cooling mechanism 4 arranged in ethanol recovery tank 3 further ensures the low temperature state of ethanol in the recycling process, reduces the volatilization loss, and improves the recovery rate.

[0029] Referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 , the recess 403 is used for flow guiding, and the flow guiding is also helpful for cooling the ethanol flowing through the cooling pipe 401, and the cooling effect is improved.

[0030] Referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 , the both ends of the cooling pipe 401 penetrate the tank body of the ethanol recovery tank 3 and are connected with external cooling equipment, since the cooling pipe is spiral, the contact area with the ethanol is increased, the heat exchange efficiency is improved, and therefore the temperature of the ethanol is more effectively reduced, and the volatilization is reduced.

[0031] Referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 , the first branch pipe 5 and the second branch pipe 6 are arranged between the outlet pipe 2 and the ethanol recovery tank 3, by controlling the opening degree of the valves on the first branch pipe 5 and the second branch pipe 6, the ethanol flow into and out of the ethanol recovery tank 3 can be controlled, and then the ethanol flow and distribution can be flexibly adjusted according to actual conditions, so as to adapt to different recovery requirements, and the stability and reliability of the whole system are improved.

[0032] Referring to Figure 2 , the first branch pipe 5 and the side of the guide plate 402 are oppositely arranged, so that when the ethanol flows into the recovery tank, it can accurately flow into the recess 403 on the guide plate 402, and the kinetic energy of the ethanol when flowing into the recovery tank is also reduced, so that the ethanol more stably enters the cooling area, and the cooling effect is improved.

[0034] After the ethanol drops, it will first contact the spiral guide plate 402, and then the ethanol will flow along the guide plate 402 to the bottom of the ethanol recovery tank 3, while exchanging heat with the cooling pipe 401, both ends of the cooling pipe 401 penetrate the tank body of the ethanol recovery tank 3 and are connected with external cooling equipment, so that the ethanol inside the recovery tank can be continuously cooled, and the cooling effect not only reduces the temperature of the ethanol on the guide plate 402, but also reduces the temperature of the ethanol inside the entire tank body, thereby effectively reducing the volatilization of ethanol;

[0035] The cooled and guided ethanol is collected at the bottom of the ethanol recovery tank 3, waiting for further recovery and processing, and since the temperature of the ethanol is effectively controlled throughout the process, the amount of ethanol volatilized into the interior of the vacuum pipe is greatly reduced, thereby reducing the influence on the operation of the vacuum pump;

[0036] When the ethanol inside the tank body is collected, the valve is opened to allow the ethanol to flow out of the second branch pipe 6 and then into the subsequent recovery tank.

[0037] Embodiment two:

[0038] Referring to Figure 4 The bottom of the guide plate 402 is fixedly connected with an elongated plate 7, and the elongated plate 7 is provided with two groups, and the two groups of elongated plates 7 are symmetrically arranged, and the symmetric arrangement of the elongated plate 7 also ensures the uniform distribution of ethanol in the recovery tank, avoiding the occurrence of local overheating or insufficient cooling, and the elongated plate 7 also plays a role in supporting and guiding the flow of ethanol, enhancing the stability and reliability of the entire system.

[0039] The implementation principle of the utility model is: first, the two elongated plates 7 can further expand the contact area of the ethanol and improve the cooling effect.
