Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of carboxymethyl cellulose preparation technology, and in particular to a solvent centrifugation removal device for the preparation of carboxymethyl cellulose. Background Technology
[0002] Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is an anionic cellulose ether, a non-toxic, odorless, white, flocculent powder. It is stable, readily soluble in water, and its aqueous solution is a neutral or alkaline, transparent, viscous liquid. It is soluble in other water-soluble adhesives and resins, but insoluble in organic solvents such as ethanol. Carboxymethyl cellulose can be used as an adhesive, thickener, suspending agent, emulsifier, dispersant, stabilizer, and sizing agent. Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is the most widely produced, used, and convenient cellulose ether, commonly known as "industrial monosodium glutamate." During its preparation, filtration equipment is used to remove impurities and fibers from the carboxymethyl cellulose slurry, resulting in a relatively pure slurry.
[0003] A search revealed a patent with publication number CN221934210U entitled "A Centrifuge for the Production of Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose." The patent addresses the issue of mediocre centrifugation performance, cumbersome installation, and the inability to quickly lock the centrifuge. It proposes a solution using a locking structure and locking holes for rapid installation of the centrifuge tank, with the locking fan and locking block enabling quick locking. This significantly reduces the labor and time costs associated with the centrifuge. However, the following drawbacks remain: solvent tends to accumulate at the bottom of the centrifuge tank, making complete drainage difficult. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a solvent centrifugation removal device for the preparation of carboxymethyl cellulose.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A solvent centrifugation removal device for the preparation of carboxymethyl cellulose includes a protective cylinder, a centrifuge cylinder slidably sleeved inside the protective cylinder, a top cover fixedly installed at the top of the centrifuge cylinder, a toothed ring fixedly installed at the top of the top cover, a limit rail fixedly installed at the bottom of the toothed ring, the top of the protective cylinder slidably inserted into the limit rail, a frustum fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom inner wall of the protective cylinder, a drain channel fixedly installed at one end of the bottom of the protective cylinder, a guide plate fixedly connected to the inner circumference of the protective cylinder at an angle downwards, a discharge port fixedly provided in the middle of the bottom of the centrifuge cylinder, and the top of the discharge port circumference rotatably inserted into the middle of the frustum via a bearing, a plurality of support rods at equal angles fixedly installed at the bottom of the centrifuge cylinder, each support rod being obtuse-angled, a plurality of ball bearings rotatably installed at the bottom of the support rods, and a scraper fixedly installed at the upper end of the outer wall of one side of the support rod at an angle downwards.
[0007] Preferably, the lower end of the outer circumference of the protective cylinder is fixedly connected to multiple support frames at equal angles, and a pressure-distributing counterweight ring is fixedly installed between the bottom ends of the multiple support frames.
[0008] Preferably, a fixing plate is fixedly installed on the upper end of the outer circumference of the protective cylinder, and a drive motor is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing plate. A drive gear is fixedly installed on the output end of the drive motor, and the circumference of the drive gear meshes with the circumference of the gear ring.
[0009] Preferably, the guide vane is spiral-shaped, and both the outer wall of the guide vane and the inner circumferential wall of the protective cylinder are provided with a hydrophobic coating.
[0010] Preferably, a stirring motor is fixedly installed at the top center of the top cover, and a mixing rack is fixedly installed at the output end of the stirring motor. A central column is fixedly installed in the middle of the mixing rack, and a spiral feeding blade is fixedly installed at the bottom of the central column.
[0011] Preferably, the spiral feed blade is conical, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] This invention proposes a solvent centrifugation removal device for the preparation of carboxymethyl cellulose. By engaging a drive gear with a gear ring, starting the drive motor causes the drive gear to rotate, thereby achieving centrifugal desolventizing of the carboxymethyl cellulose slurry. A spiral guide vane is fixedly connected to the inclined inner wall of the protective cylinder, helping to slide liquid droplets ejected from the centrifuge and those adhering to the inner wall of the protective cylinder down the guide vane to the drainage channel. Multiple ball bearings are rotatably installed at the bottom of the support rod, and a scraper is fixedly installed at the inclined upper end of one side of the support rod. This ensures stable rotation of the centrifuge inside the protective cylinder and allows the scrapers to rotate along the inner wall of the bottom of the protective cylinder during centrifugal desolventizing, thus completely draining the accumulated liquid at the bottom of the protective cylinder. Furthermore, both the outer wall of the guide vane and the inner wall of the protective cylinder are coated with a hydrophobic coating to prevent liquid droplet retention.
[0014] This invention proposes a solvent centrifugal desolventizing device for the preparation of carboxymethyl cellulose. A stirring motor is fixedly installed at the top center of the top cover, and a mixing rack is fixedly installed at the output end of the stirring motor. A central column is fixedly installed in the middle of the mixing rack, and a conical spiral feeding blade with a wider top and narrower bottom is fixedly installed at the bottom of the central column. When the stirring motor is started, the mixing rack mixes the carboxymethyl cellulose slurry, which helps to accelerate the centrifugal desolventizing speed of carboxymethyl cellulose. After the centrifugal desolventizing of carboxymethyl cellulose is completed, the rotating spiral feeding blade helps to discharge the material. Attached Figure Description

[0020] Reference Figure 1-4 A solvent centrifugation removal device for the preparation of carboxymethyl cellulose includes a protective cylinder 1, a centrifuge cylinder 7 slidably sleeved inside the protective cylinder 1, a top cover 8 fixedly installed at the top of the centrifuge cylinder 7, a toothed ring 9 fixedly installed at the top of the top cover 8, a limiting slide rail 10 fixedly installed at the bottom of the toothed ring 9, the top of the protective cylinder 1 slidably inserted into the limiting slide rail 10, a frustum base 17 fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom inner wall of the protective cylinder 1, a drain channel 15 fixedly installed at one bottom end of the protective cylinder 1, a guide plate 16 fixedly connected to the inner circumference of the protective cylinder 1 at an angle downwards, a discharge port 18 fixedly provided in the middle of the bottom end of the centrifuge cylinder 7, and the top of the discharge port 18 rotatably inserted into the middle of the frustum base 17 through a bearing, a plurality of support rods 19 at equal angles fixedly installed at the bottom circumference of the centrifuge cylinder 7, each support rod 19 being obtuse-angled, a plurality of ball bearings 20 rotatably installed at the bottom end of the support rod 19, and a scraper 21 fixedly installed at the upper end of the outer wall of one side of the support rod 19 at an angle downwards.
[0021] In this utility model, multiple support frames 2 at equal angles are fixedly connected to the lower end of the outer circumference of the protective cylinder 1, and a pressure-distributing counterweight ring 3 is fixedly installed between the bottom ends of the multiple support frames 2, which helps to improve the stability of the protective cylinder 1 and the centrifuge cylinder 7 during operation.
[0022] A fixing plate 4 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the outer circumference of the protective cylinder 1, and a drive motor 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing plate 4. A drive gear 6 is fixedly installed on the output end of the drive motor 5, and the circumference of the drive gear 6 meshes with the circumference of the gear ring 9.
[0023] The guide vane 16 is spiral-shaped, and both the outer wall of the guide vane 16 and the inner circumferential wall of the protective cylinder 1 are provided with a hydrophobic coating.
[0024] A stirring motor 11 is fixedly installed at the top center of the top cover 8, and a mixing rack 12 is fixedly installed at the output end of the stirring motor 11.

[0025] The spiral feed blade 14 is conical, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom.
[0026] Working principle: The drive gear 6 meshes with the gear ring 9, and the drive motor 5 is started to make the drive gear 6 rotate with the gear ring 9, thereby achieving the centrifugal desolventizing effect of the centrifugal cylinder 7. The inner wall of the protective cylinder 1 is inclined downward and fixedly connected with a spiral guide plate 16, which helps to slide the liquid droplets thrown out by the centrifugal cylinder 7 and the liquid droplets adhering to the inner wall of the protective cylinder 1 along the guide plate 16 to the drainage channel 15.

When the stirring motor 11 is started, the mixing rack 12 mixes the carboxymethyl cellulose slurry, which helps to speed up the centrifugal dehydration of carboxymethyl cellulose. After the carboxymethyl cellulose is centrifuged and dehydrated, the rotating spiral feeding blade 14 helps to discharge the material.
