[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 4 A dehydration device for the production of isooctyl nitrate comprises a rectangular shell 1, a placement plate 2 and an agitator disposed within the shell 1, a dehydration cylinder 3 disposed on the placement plate 2, a lifting mechanism disposed on both sides of the inner wall of the shell 1, and a clamping mechanism disposed on both sides of the shell 1. The placement plate 2 has a placement groove for placing the dehydration cylinder 3. A slide rail is provided on the inner wall of the shell 1, which slides horizontally with the placement plate 2. A vertical groove is provided inside the shell 1, which slides vertically with the agitator. The lifting mechanism is driven by the agitator to drive the agitator to move vertically. The clamping mechanism is also driven by the lifting mechanism to clamp the dehydration cylinder 3 and fix its position during agitation.
[0023] The lifting mechanism of this device consists of two rotating rods 4 and two first screws 5. The two rotating rods 4 are laterally connected to both sides of the interior of the housing 1 via bearings, and the two first screws 5 are vertically connected to both sides of the upper part of the housing 1 via bearings. Racks 6 are connected to both sides of the upper part of the placement plate 2. A first gear 7 and a first bevel gear 8 are sequentially installed along the length of the two rotating rods 4. Finally, a second bevel gear 9 is installed at the end of the first screw 5. The racks 6 mesh with the first gear 7, and the first bevel gear 8 meshes with the second bevel gear 9. The device also includes a stirrer. It consists of a baffle 11, a motor 12, and a stirring blade 13. The motor 12 is mounted on the baffle 11, and its output shaft passes through the baffle 11 and is connected to the stirring blade 13. L-shaped plates 10 are connected to both sides of the baffle 11, and the two L-shaped plates 10 are threadedly engaged with the two first screws 5 respectively. Limiting plates 14 that slide with the inner wall of the housing 1 are also connected to the two L-shaped plates 10 to increase the stability of the baffle 11 when it moves. The stirring blade 13 and the first screws 5 are both adapted to the dewatering cylinder 3. When the dewatering cylinder 3 moves to a certain position, the stirring blade 13 can just extend into the dewatering cylinder 3.
[0024] The clamping mechanism in this device consists of two second screws 15, two movable frames 16, and two clamping plates 18. The two second screws 15 are respectively connected to the two sides inside the housing 1 by bearings. The second screws 15 and the rotating rod 4 are located at different positions on the same plane. The threads of the two second screws 15 rotate in opposite directions, and each of the two second screws 15 is connected to a second gear 17, which meshes with the rack 6. The two movable frames 16 are respectively slidably engaged with the two side walls of the housing 1 and threadedly engaged with the two second screws 15. The two clamping plates 18 are respectively located opposite to the ends of the two movable frames 16. The shape of the clamping plates 18 is adapted to the outer wall of the dehydration cylinder 3 and one side is open. The second screws 15 and the movable frames 16 are also adapted to the dehydration cylinder 3. When the dehydration cylinder 3 moves to a certain position, the two clamping plates 18 can just clamp the dehydration cylinder 3.
[0025] The motor 12 in the device is specifically a stepper motor, which is powered by a fixed power source in the laboratory.
[0026] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When isooctyl nitrate is generated, after esterification, when dehydration is required, the mixture is first allowed to stand to separate into layers, obtaining pre-dehydrated isooctyl nitrate. After washing and deacidification, the product is placed in a dehydration cylinder 3 placed on a placement plate 2, and a certain amount of anhydrous sodium sulfate is added. Then, the placement plate 2 is pushed to move. When the placement plate 2 moves, the rack 6 drives the two second screws 15 to rotate through the second gear 17. When the two second screws 15 rotate, through the threaded engagement with the two moving frames 16, they drive the clamping plates 18 at the ends of the two moving frames 16 to move relative to each other. When the placement plate 2 is pushed to a certain position, the two clamping plates 18 clamp the outer wall of the dehydration cylinder 3. The position of the dehydration cylinder 3 is fixed at this time. At this time, the two rotating rods 4 located behind the second screw 15 rotate synchronously through the first gear 7, which in turn drives the first bevel gear 8 to rotate. Through the meshing relationship between the first bevel gear 8 and the second bevel gear 9, the two first screws 5 are driven to rotate. Since the L-shaped plate 10 is threadedly engaged with the first screw 5, when the first screw 5 rotates, it drives the baffle 11 connected to the L-shaped plate 10 to move down. When the two clamping plates 18 clamp the dehydration cylinder 3, the stirring blade 13 extends into the dehydration cylinder 3 and the baffle 11 covers the upper part of the dehydration cylinder 3. Finally, the stirring blade 13 is driven to rotate by starting the motor 12 to stir. After stirring is completed, the above steps are reversed to remove the dehydration cylinder 3 for subsequent filtration, purification and other steps.
