Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of biochemical equipment technology, and in particular to a power recovery device for sugar alcohol production. Background Technology

[0002] The production of sugar alcohols generates a large amount of energy, including thermal energy and fluid kinetic energy. A sugar alcohol production power recovery device is a key piece of equipment designed to recover and reuse this energy that is wasted during the production process. It can effectively improve energy utilization and reduce production costs, which is of great significance to the sustainable development of the entire sugar alcohol production industry.

[0003] Early power recovery units in sugar alcohol production relied primarily on traditional, simple heat exchangers for heat recovery. These were typically shell-and-tube structures with limited heat exchange area and conventional internal fluid flow patterns, resulting in significant heat loss during operation. While technological advancements have led to improvements in heat recovery, employing more complex and efficient heat exchangers with enhanced heat transfer fins, these improvements still have drawbacks. The uneven fluid distribution in existing heat exchangers causes excessively high flow rates and short residence times in some areas, preventing sufficient heat transfer to the heat exchange medium and hindering truly uniform and efficient heat exchange. This persists, severely limiting the overall energy utilization efficiency of the unit. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a power recovery device for sugar alcohol production, which aims to improve the problem of uneven fluid flow distribution in the prior art, which leads to insufficient heat transfer to the heat exchange medium in this area.

Multiple notches are provided at the bottom of the outer wall of the hollow tube. The other end of the water pump is connected to a flexible hose. The other end of the flexible hose is connected to a conical connecting block. The bottom end of the conical connecting block is connected to the left side of the top of the insulation tank. Multiple perforated rings are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the insulation tank. An automatic exhaust pipe is connected to the right side of the top of the insulation tank.

A U-shaped support is fixedly connected to the front of the top of the heat exchange tank. A generator is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped support. A fixed column is fixedly connected to the output end of the generator. The bottom end of the fixed column passes through the heat exchange tank and is fixedly connected to a driven gear. The outer wall of the driven gear meshes with the outer wall of the linkage gear.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. In this utility model, high-temperature liquid flows into the heat exchange tank through the inlet pipe and comes into contact with the spiral plate. The disturbance effect of the spiral structure and the baffle makes the liquid form turbulence, which improves the heat exchange efficiency. The water pump draws out the water and flows through the hollow pipe to optimize the distribution and flow state. The water is then transported to the heat preservation tank, where the phase change material absorbs heat to achieve the heat preservation effect. At the same time, the automatic exhaust pipe discharges gas to prevent the gas pressure from affecting the liquid entry, ensuring heat storage and utilization, thereby increasing the heat exchange efficiency.

[0022] 2. In this utility model, when water flows outside the hollow tube, it impacts the spiral block on the outer wall of the sliding sleeve, causing the sleeve to rotate around the tube. The spiral block converts the linear kinetic energy of the water flow into the circular motion of the sleeve, causing the linkage gear to rotate accordingly, which in turn drives the driven gear and the fixed column to rotate, ultimately causing the generator output end to rotate. The generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy through electromagnetic induction, realizing the recovery and utilization of kinetic energy. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 This utility model provides an embodiment of a power recovery device for sugar alcohol production, comprising a heat exchange tank 1 and an insulation tank 3. The device is characterized by: a water inlet pipe 4 connected to the left side of the outer wall of the heat exchange tank 1; a spiral plate 5 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heat exchange tank 1; water flowing into the heat exchange tank 1 through the water inlet pipe 4; and the liquid entering the heat exchange tank 1 contacting the spiral plate 5. Its unique spiral structure greatly increases the flow path of the liquid within the heat exchange tank 1, allowing for more thorough heat exchange with the surrounding thermal environment. Multiple baffles 6 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the spiral plate 5, which disturb the water flow, disrupting the laminar flow and creating turbulent flow, further improving heat exchange efficiency. A water pump 9 is fixedly connected to the top center of the heat exchange tank 1, with one end of the water pump 9 connected to a hollow tube 7. The bottom end of the hollow tube 7 penetrates the top of the heat exchange tank 1, and multiple notches 8 are provided at the bottom of the outer wall of the hollow tube 7. The other end of the pump 9 is connected to a hose 10, and the other end of the hose 10 is connected to a conical connecting block 13. The bottom end of the conical connecting block 13 is connected to the top left side of the heat exchange tank 3. The pump 9 draws water out of the heat exchange tank 1. The water flows through the hollow tube 7, which avoids the water flow being too concentrated and further optimizes the distribution and flow state of the water in the heat exchange tank 1. The water drawn out by the pump 9 is transported to the conical connecting block 13 through the hose 10, and the water is smoothly introduced into the heat exchange tank 3 from the hose 10. Multiple perforated rings 11 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heat exchange tank 3. Since different phase change materials are placed between the multiple perforated rings 11, the heat inside the water entering the heat exchange tank 3 is absorbed by the phase change materials, thereby achieving the heat preservation effect. An automatic exhaust pipe 12 is connected to the top right side of the heat exchange tank 3. An electric energy conversion mechanism 2 is set on the outer wall of the hollow tube 7. The electric energy conversion mechanism 2 generates electricity using the flowing liquid.

[0032] Specifically, during the sugar alcohol production process, the high-temperature liquid produced flows into the heat exchange tank 1 through the inlet pipe 4. The liquid entering the heat exchange tank 1 comes into contact with the spiral plate 5. Its unique spiral structure greatly increases the flow path of the liquid within the heat exchange tank 1, allowing for more thorough heat exchange with the surrounding thermal environment. Furthermore, the baffle 6 disrupts the water flow, breaking the laminar flow and creating turbulent flow, further improving heat exchange efficiency. This increases the contact opportunities and time between the water and the surrounding heat. Simultaneously, the water pump 9 starts working, drawing water out of the heat exchange tank 1. The water flows through the hollow pipe 7, preventing excessive water concentration and further optimizing the flow of water within the heat exchange tank 1. The distribution and flow state of the water are controlled, and the water pumped by the water pump 9 is transported to the conical connecting block 13 through the hose 10. The water is smoothly introduced into the heat preservation tank 3 from the hose 10. After the water enters the heat preservation tank 3, the heat inside the water is absorbed by the phase change material between the multiple hole rings 11, thereby achieving the heat preservation effect. In addition, gas is generated in the high temperature water, which is discharged from the automatic exhaust pipe 12 to prevent gas from appearing at the top of the heat preservation tank 3. When the gas accumulates, it will generate pressure, preventing the liquid from entering the heat preservation tank 3. This increases the water heat exchange and stores the heat well for its utilization.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The power conversion mechanism 2 includes a sliding sleeve 202. The inner wall of the sliding sleeve 202 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the hollow tube 7. Multiple spiral blocks 201 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding sleeve 202. Water flowing outside the hollow tube 7 impacts the spiral blocks 201 on the outer wall of the sliding sleeve 202. Under the impact of the water flow, the spiral blocks 201 drive the sliding sleeve 202 to rotate around the hollow tube 7. The spiral blocks 201 can better utilize the kinetic energy of the water flow, converting the linear motion of the water flow into the circular motion of the sliding sleeve 202. A linkage gear 203 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer surface of the sliding sleeve 202. (Heat exchange tank) A U-shaped support column 206 is fixedly connected to the front of the top of the heat exchange tank 1. A generator 207 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped support column 206. A fixed column 205 is fixedly connected to the output end of the generator 207. The bottom end of the fixed column 205 passes through the heat exchange tank 1 and is fixedly connected to a driven gear 204. The outer wall of the driven gear 204 meshes with the outer wall of the linkage gear 203. The linkage gear 203 will rotate together with the sliding sleeve 202. At the same time, when the linkage gear 203 rotates, it will drive the driven gear 204 to rotate. The rotation of the driven gear 204 will then drive the fixed column 205 to rotate, and finally make the output end of the generator 207 rotate.

[0034] Specifically, as water flows outside the hollow tube 7, it impacts multiple spiral blocks 201 on the outer wall of the sliding sleeve 202. Under the impact of the water flow, the spiral blocks 201 drive the sliding sleeve 202 to rotate around the hollow tube 7. The spiral blocks 201 can better utilize the kinetic energy of the water flow, converting the linear motion of the water flow into the circular motion of the sliding sleeve 202, causing the linkage gear 203 to rotate along with the sliding sleeve 202. At the same time, when the linkage gear 203 rotates, it drives the driven gear 204 to rotate. The rotation of the driven gear 204 then drives the fixed column 205 to rotate, ultimately causing the output end of the generator 207 to rotate. The generator 207 uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to convert the mechanical energy generated by this rotation into electrical energy, realizing the recovery and utilization of the kinetic energy of the flowing liquid.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 An observation window 14 is provided on the front side of the outer wall of the heat exchange tank 1, allowing staff to monitor the operating status of the heat exchange tank 1 in real time. An outer frame 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the observation window 14, providing reliable support and protection for the observation window 14. A nameplate 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom front of the outer wall of the heat exchange tank 1, allowing for quick access to its performance parameters. A sealing ring 17 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the water inlet pipe 4, effectively ensuring the sealing between the water inlet pipe 4 and other components. A temperature sensor 18 is fixedly connected to the top center of the insulation tank 3, enabling timely monitoring of the temperature of the liquid inside the insulation tank 3. A display screen 19 is fixedly connected to the front side of the outer wall of the insulation tank 3, displaying the temperature data monitored by the temperature sensor 18.

[0036] Specifically, the observation window 14 allows staff to monitor the operating status of the heat exchange tank 1 in real time, promptly detect any abnormalities such as blockage or leakage of fluids, and take appropriate measures to address them, thereby ensuring the efficient and stable operation of the heat exchange tank 1. The outer frame 15 provides reliable support and protection for the observation window 14. The nameplate 16 allows for quick access to its performance parameters, ensuring operation under suitable conditions and avoiding equipment failures or safety hazards caused by parameter mismatches. The sealing ring 17 effectively ensures the sealing between the water inlet pipe 4 and other components, maintaining smooth water flow and ensuring normal circulation of hot and cold water during the heat exchange process, thus improving heat exchange efficiency. The temperature sensor 18 allows for timely monitoring of the liquid temperature in the insulation tank 3, enabling rapid action when abnormal temperature fluctuations occur. The display screen 19 provides a clear view of the temperature data monitored by the temperature sensor 18.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4The bottom of the heat exchange tank 1 is fixedly connected with multiple V-shaped support blocks 20. The V-shaped support blocks 20 can provide stable support for the heat exchange tank 1 from different angles and positions. The bottom of the V-shaped support blocks 20 is threadedly connected with threaded support feet 21. Adjusting the height of the threaded support feet 21 can make the heat exchange tank 1 horizontal. The bottom of the heat exchange tank 3 is connected to a drain pipe 22, which provides a channel for liquid discharge. The outer wall of the drain pipe 22 is fixedly connected with a valve 23. The valve 23 is used to open or close the drain pipe 22 to precisely control the discharge speed and flow rate of the liquid. The inner wall of the heat exchange tank 1 is rounded to reduce the resistance of the fluid when flowing in the heat exchange tank 1. The inner wall size of the sliding sleeve 202 is the same as the outer wall size of the hollow tube 7, which allows the sliding sleeve 202 to fit tightly on the outer wall of the hollow tube 7 and slide smoothly on the hollow tube 7.

[0038] Specifically, the V-shaped support block 20 provides stable support for the heat exchange tank 1 from different angles and positions. By adjusting the height of the threaded support leg 21, the heat exchange tank 1 is kept horizontal. The drain pipe 22 provides a channel for liquid discharge, allowing the liquid in the tank to flow out smoothly. The drain pipe 22 is opened or closed by the valve 23 to precisely control the discharge speed and flow rate of the liquid. The smooth inner wall of the heat exchange tank 1 reduces the resistance of the fluid flowing in the heat exchange tank 1 and reduces the friction between the fluid and the inner wall, thereby reducing energy loss. The inner wall size of the sliding sleeve 202 is the same as the outer wall size of the hollow tube 7, allowing the sliding sleeve 202 to fit tightly on the outer wall of the hollow tube 7 and slide smoothly on the hollow tube 7.

[0039] Working principle: First, during the sugar alcohol production process, high-temperature liquid flows into heat exchange tank 1 through inlet pipe 4. Inside heat exchange tank 1, the liquid comes into contact with spiral plate 5. Its spiral structure significantly increases the flow path of the liquid, promoting the heat exchange efficiency between the liquid and the surrounding thermal environment. In addition, baffle 6 disturbs the water flow, disrupting the laminar flow state and forming turbulent flow, further improving the heat exchange efficiency. This increases the opportunity and time for water to come into contact with heat. At the same time, water pump 9 starts working, drawing water out of heat exchange tank 1 and allowing it to flow through hollow pipe 7, avoiding excessive water concentration and optimizing the distribution of water within heat exchange tank 1. In the flow state, the water pumped by the water pump 9 is delivered to the conical connecting block 13 through the hose 10 and smoothly introduced into the heat preservation tank 3. After the water enters the heat preservation tank 3, the heat in the water is absorbed by the different phase change materials placed between the perforated rings 11, thereby achieving the heat preservation effect. At the same time, since gas is generated in the high temperature water, the gas is discharged through the automatic exhaust pipe 12, preventing the gas from accumulating at the top of the heat preservation tank 3 and avoiding the generation of gas pressure. This ensures that the liquid can smoothly enter the heat preservation tank 3, thereby improving the efficiency of water heat exchange and effectively storing heat for subsequent use.

[0040] Furthermore, through the electric conversion mechanism 2, when the water flows on the outside of the hollow tube 7, it impacts multiple spiral blocks 201 set on the outer wall of the sliding sleeve 202. Under the action of the water flow impact force, the spiral blocks 201 drive the sliding sleeve 202 to rotate around the hollow tube 7. The spiral blocks 201 effectively utilize the kinetic energy of the water flow, converting the linear motion of the water flow into the circular motion of the sliding sleeve 202. As a result, the linkage gear 203 rotates accordingly, which in turn drives the driven gear 204 to rotate. The rotation of the driven gear 204 causes the fixed column 205 to rotate, ultimately causing the output end of the generator 207 to rotate. Based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, the generator 207 converts the mechanical energy generated therefrom into electrical energy, thereby realizing the effective recovery and utilization of the kinetic energy of the flowing liquid.
