Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clarification tank technology, specifically a three-stage clarification tank for wood vinegar. Background Technology
[0002] Wood vinegar is an acidic liquid with a pH of 3, mainly composed of acetic acid. It is very similar to vinegar in composition and color, but they are refined using different methods. Simply put, wood vinegar is made by naturally cooling and liquefying the smoke emitted during the process of burning wood into charcoal. Therefore, wood vinegar is made by carbonizing wood, converting its energy into gas, and then naturally cooling it into a concentrated liquid. It contains minerals such as K, Ca, Mg, Zn, Ge, Mn, and Fe, as well as vitamins B1 and B2.
[0003] Currently, the three-stage clarification tank for wood vinegar uses filtration, centrifugation, and distillation to improve the purity of wood vinegar during clarification. The filter plates used in filtration are mostly fixed to the tail or inner wall of the filter box with screws, making the filter plates unable to move. With long-term filtration of wood vinegar, larger impurities carried in the wood vinegar will clog the filter holes on the filter plates, thus affecting the clarification process of wood vinegar. To address this, a three-stage clarification tank for wood vinegar is proposed. Utility Model Content

The connecting rods are rotatably connected to the side wall of the filter box and hinged to the inner top wall of the support frame. The connecting rods are hinged to each other. The connecting blocks are located at the hinge points between the connecting rods. The crossbars are slidably connected in the connecting blocks. The stop blocks are fixedly connected to both ends of the crossbars. The telescopic springs are fixedly installed between opposite sides of the connecting blocks on both sides. The connecting springs are fixedly installed between opposite sides of the connecting blocks and the stop blocks.
[0007] Furthermore, the filter box and mounting plate are located inside the support frame, the side of the connecting block is U-shaped, and the telescopic spring and connecting spring are both located outside the crossbar.
[0008] Furthermore, a filter plate is provided at the rear of the filter box, and mounting screws that are threadedly connected to the filter box are inserted through the filter plate.
[0009] Furthermore, a top plate is fixedly installed on the top of the sedimentation tank, and a centrifugal mechanism is provided on the top plate. The centrifugal mechanism includes a centrifugal motor, a rotating shaft, and an auger.

[0014] Beneficial effects:
[0015] This three-stage clarification tank for wood vinegar incorporates a vibration assembly. When in use, the vibration of the vibration motor, combined with the connection of the extension and connecting springs to the connecting block and the stop block, causes the connecting block to move laterally along the outer surface of the crossbar. This lateral movement of the connecting block, in turn, causes the connecting rod to rotate accordingly, shortening or widening the gap between the filter plate and the filter tank body. This allows the filter plate to bounce repeatedly up and down, preventing impurities from clogging the filter holes and affecting the filtration process of the wood vinegar.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-3 A three-stage clarification tank for wood vinegar includes a sedimentation tank 1 and a filter box 2. A filter plate 8 is installed at the tail end of the filter box 2 to intercept impurities in the wood vinegar, achieving the first stage of clarification. The filter plate 8 is threaded with mounting screws that are connected to the filter box 2 for assembling and disassembling the filter plate 8. After removing the filter plate 8, impurities can be removed from the filter plate 8. A filter tank 3 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the sedimentation tank 1, and a fixing plate 4 is fixedly installed on the other side wall of the sedimentation tank 1. A support frame 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the filter tank 3, and an mounting plate 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the filter box 2. The filter box 2 and the mounting plate 6 are located inside the support frame 5. A top plate 9 is fixedly installed on the top of the sedimentation tank 1.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-3 A drain pipe 11, which communicates with the inner cavity of the sedimentation tank 1, is fixedly installed at the tail end of the sedimentation tank body 1. A drain valve 12 is installed on the outer surface of the drain pipe 11. When the drain valve 12 is opened, impurities that are insoluble in liquid after centrifugation are discharged from the drain pipe 11.
[0024] A heater 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed plate 4. A distillation tank 14 is set on the top of the heater 13. The heater 13 can heat and distill the distillation tank 14 to remove water from the wood vinegar. A steam exhaust pipe 15 communicating with the inner cavity of the distillation tank 14 is fixedly installed on the top of the distillation tank 14 to discharge water vapor. A liquid drain pipe 16 communicating with the inner cavity of the distillation tank 14 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the distillation tank 14. A switch valve 17 is installed on the outer surface of the liquid drain pipe 16. When the switch valve 17 is opened, the dehydrated wood vinegar is discharged from the liquid drain pipe 16, realizing the third stage of clarification of the wood vinegar.
[0025] In addition, a pressure pump 18 is fixedly installed on the top of the sedimentation tank 1, and a conduit 19 connected to the inner cavity of the distillation tank 14 is fixedly installed on the top wall of the distillation tank 14. The conduit 19 is connected to the inlet and outlet of the pressure pump 18. The conduit 19 extends into the sedimentation tank 1, the pressure pump 18 is started, and the conduit 19 draws out the wood vinegar liquid after centrifugation sedimentation in the sedimentation tank 1.
[0026] Furthermore, a centrifugal mechanism 10 is provided on the top plate 9. The centrifugal mechanism 10 includes a centrifugal motor 101, a rotating shaft 102, and an auger 103. The centrifugal motor 101 is fixedly installed on the top of the top plate 9, and the rotating shaft 102 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the centrifugal motor 101. The rotating shaft 102 is rotatably connected to the top plate 9. The auger 103 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 102. When the centrifugal motor 101 is started, the rotating shaft 102 and the auger 103 rotate, centrifuging the wood vinegar filtered in the sedimentation tank 1, so that the impurities in it precipitate on the inner bottom wall of the sedimentation tank 1, thus achieving the second-stage clarification of the wood vinegar.
[0027] Please see Figure 1-4 The vibration assembly 7 includes a filter box 2, a support frame 5, and a mounting plate 6 on which a vibration assembly 7 is installed to improve the filtration efficiency of the produced wood vinegar. The assembly includes a vibration motor 71, a connecting rod 72, a connecting block 73, a crossbar 74, a stop block 75, a telescopic spring 76, and a connecting spring 77. The vibration motor 71 is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 5. The connecting rod 72 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the filter box 2 and hinged to the inner top wall of the support frame 5. The connecting rods 72 are hinged to each other. The connecting block 73 can rotate between the inner top wall of the support frame 5 and the side wall of the filter box 2.
[0028] Furthermore, the connecting block 73 is located at the hinge between the connecting rods 72. The side of the connecting block 73 is U-shaped. The crossbar 74 is slidably connected in the connecting block 73. The connecting block 73 can slide laterally on the outer surface of the crossbar 74. The U-shaped connecting block 73 facilitates the passage of the crossbar 74. The stop block 75 is fixedly connected to both ends of the crossbar 74.
[0029] Meanwhile, the telescopic spring 76 is fixedly installed between the two connecting blocks 73 on opposite sides. The two connecting blocks 73 are subjected to the elastic force of the telescopic spring 76. The connecting spring 77 is fixedly installed between the connecting block 73 and the stop block 75 on opposite sides. The connecting block 73 is subjected to the elastic force of the connecting spring 77. Under the connection of the telescopic spring 76 and the connecting spring 77, the connecting block 73 can slide laterally, causing the filter box 2 and the filter plate 8 to bounce, thus preventing impurities from clogging the filter plate 8 and affecting the normal filtration process. The telescopic spring 76 and the connecting spring 77 are both located on the outside of the crossbar 74.
[0030] In this embodiment, the produced wood vinegar is poured into the filter box 2, and the vibration motor 71 is started. The filter box 2 vibrates. Under the connection of the extension spring 76 and the connecting spring 77 to the connecting block 73 and the stop block 75, the extension spring 76 and the connecting spring 77 are successively compressed and stretched, causing the connecting rod 72 to rotate accordingly. This causes the filter box 2 and the filter plate 8 to shake. The filter plate 8 filters the wood vinegar, and the filtered wood vinegar falls into the filter tank 3 for collection. Impurities are intercepted on the filter plate 8. The subsequent wood vinegar flows into the sedimentation tank 1. The centrifugal motor 101, shaft 102 and auger 103 rotate to centrifuge the filtered wood vinegar, allowing the impurities that are insoluble in the liquid to fall to the inner bottom wall of the sedimentation tank 1. The pressure pump 18 is started and the conduit 19 draws the centrifuged wood vinegar into the distillation tank 14. The impurities that are insoluble in the liquid are discharged from the drain pipe 11 by opening the drain valve 12. The heater 13 is turned on to heat the wood vinegar in the distillation tank 14, allowing the generated water vapor to be discharged from the steam exhaust pipe 15. The heater 13 is stopped and the switch valve 17 is opened to discharge the dehydrated wood vinegar from the drain pipe 16.
[0031] The beneficial effects of the above embodiments are as follows:
[0032] This three-stage clarification tank for wood vinegar uses a vibration assembly 7. When the vibration assembly 7 is in use, under the vibration of the vibration motor 7 and the connection of the extension spring 76 and the connecting spring 77 to the connecting block 73 and the stop block 75, the connecting block 73 moves laterally along the outer surface of the crossbar 74. The lateral movement of the connecting block 73 causes the connecting rod 72 to rotate accordingly, which shortens or increases the distance between the filter plate 8 and the filter tank body 3. This allows the filter plate 8 to bounce up and down repeatedly, preventing impurities from clogging the filter holes on the filter plate 8 and affecting the filtration process of the wood vinegar.
[0033] The vibration motor 71, centrifugal motor 101, heater 13 and pressure pump 18 mentioned in the text are all electrically connected to the main controller and power supply. The main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that can be used for control, and the existing publicly available power connection technology will not be described in detail in the text.
