Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of feeding and pulping devices for pharmaceutical and chemical industries, specifically to a feeding and pulping device for a pharmaceutical and chemical centrifuge. Background Technology

[0002] In pharmaceutical and chemical enterprises, centrifugation is a crucial step in the production process, as the moisture content of wet products affects subsequent drying time. Existing centrifuge feed pipes from reaction vessels are relatively long, making it easy for the solid and liquid phases to separate during transport. This can lead to uneven material distribution within the centrifuge, causing abnormal centrifuge vibration and poor dehydration efficiency. Therefore, the uniformity of the material during centrifuge feeding is a critical factor.

[0003] CN201703873U describes a method of conveying materials into a centrifuge using a pressure device within a conveying pipeline. While this improves conveying efficiency, it can lead to solid-liquid stratification within the pipeline for materials containing both solid and liquid phases, resulting in uneven material distribution upon entering the centrifuge. Therefore, a centrifuge feeding and pulping device is needed. Utility Model Content

[0023] Example 1

[0024] Figure 1The centrifuge feeding and pulping device shown includes a storage tank 1, a centrifugal pump 2, a reactor discharge pipe 3, a centrifuge 4, a circulation pipe 5, a storage tank discharge pipe 6, a wastewater discharge pipe 7, a centrifugal pump discharge pipe 8, an exhaust gas discharge pipe 9, a level gauge 10, an upper pipe 11 for the level gauge, and a lower pipe 12 for the level gauge. The storage tank 1 is connected to the storage tank discharge pipe 6 at its bottom via a flange 1h, connecting the storage tank 1 to the centrifugal pump 2. A branch pipe, the wastewater discharge pipe 7, is located on the side of the storage tank discharge pipe 6 for discharging wastewater used to clean the storage tank 1. The wastewater discharge pipe 7 is equipped with a valve 7a, which is normally closed but opened during equipment cleaning. The storage tank discharge pipe 6 is equipped with a valve 6a and a sight glass 6b, located above the pipe 7. The sight glass 6b allows observation of whether the material is uniform. The reactor discharge pipe 3 and the exhaust pipe 9 are connected side-by-side at the top of the storage tank 1 via flanges 1c and 1d. The other end of the reactor discharge pipe 3 is connected to the reactor, and a valve 3a is installed on it. When in use, opening valve 3a allows material to flow from the reactor through the discharge pipe 3 into the storage tank 1; closing valve 3a stops the material flow. The other end of the exhaust pipe 9 is connected to the workshop's main exhaust pipe. From top to bottom, the exhaust pipe 9 is equipped with a check valve 9a and a valve 9b. The check valve 9a prevents workshop exhaust gas from entering the storage tank 1. A flange 1e is pre-installed on the storage tank 1 for subsequent installation of pipes or other equipment. An observation window 1a is located along the centerline of the long axis of the storage tank 1 for observing changes in the material inside the tank. The storage tank 1 is installed close to the centrifuge 4. The centrifuge drum 4a is embedded inside the centrifuge 4 to form a cavity. The material can be separated under the high-speed rotation of the centrifuge drum 4a. The centrifuge distributor 4b is connected to the top cover of the centrifuge 4, which can distribute the material inside the centrifuge drum 4a. One end of the centrifugal pump discharge pipe 8 is installed on the centrifugal pump 2, and the other end is connected to the centrifuge 4 through a metal flexible hose 8f. A pressure gauge 8a is installed on the centrifugal pump discharge pipe 8 near the centrifugal pump 2 to monitor the pressure at the outlet of the centrifugal pump 2. A check valve 8c is provided on the centrifugal pump discharge pipe 8, and the check valve 8c and the pressure gauge 8a are connected by a metal flexible joint 8b. The check valve 8c can prevent material backflow, and the metal flexible joint 8b has a buffering effect. A branch circulation pipe 5 is provided above the check valve 8c of the centrifugal pump discharge pipe 8, and its other end is fixedly installed on the storage tank 1 through a flange 1b. The circulation pipe 5 has a first valve 5a and a second valve 8d on the centrifugal pump discharge pipe 8. The circulation pipe 5 is connected between the check valve 8c and the second valve 8d. The centrifugal pump discharge pipe 8 is connected to the centrifuge 4 through a flange 8e and a section of the metal flexible hose 8f. The metal flexible hose 8f is detachably connected to the centrifuge 4 to meet the needs of frequent opening of the centrifuge lid.A valve 10a is installed below the level gauge 10 for draining accumulated liquid. The level gauge 10 is connected to the side wall of the storage tank 1 through the upper pipe 11 and the lower pipe 12. The upper pipe 11 and the lower pipe 12 are fixedly installed on the storage tank 1 through flanges 1f and 1g, respectively. The level gauge reading can be used to determine the amount of material entering the tank. The upper pipe 11 and the lower pipe 12 are equipped with an upper valve 11a and a lower valve 12a, respectively, for the purpose of maintaining the level gauge and are usually kept in the open state.

[0025] When the equipment is running, first close the second valve 8d and open the first valve 5a. The material in the storage tank 1 forms a self-circulation and is fully mixed through the storage tank discharge pipe 6, centrifugal pump 2, centrifugal pump discharge pipe 8, and circulation pipe 5. Observe whether the material is uniform through the sight glass 6b. If it is uniform, open the second valve 8d and close the first valve 5a to allow a portion of the material to enter the centrifuge 4 through the centrifugal pump discharge pipe 8. At this time, the centrifuge distributor 4b distributes the material evenly in the centrifuge drum 4a, so that the centrifuge 4 can maintain stable operation during high-speed rotation, which can shorten the centrifugation process time and avoid the centrifuge 4 malfunction alarm caused by abnormal shaking.

[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent modifications, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model are included within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
