Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of esterification reaction technology, specifically to a device for preventing the accumulation of triacetin in esterification reaction. Background Technology
[0002] Triacetin is an organic compound, a colorless and odorless oily liquid, miscible with ethanol, ether, chloroform, and benzene, and slightly soluble in water and carbon disulfide. It is used as a cigarette filter binder, flavor fixative, solvent, toughening agent, and in the cosmetics, casting, pharmaceutical, and dye industries. This product is non-toxic and non-irritating. Esterification is a type of organic chemical reaction, primarily involving the reaction of alcohols with carboxylic acids or inorganic oxyacids to form esters and water. Triacetin is prepared through the esterification of glycerol with acetic acid. In this reaction, glycerol reacts with glacial acetic acid under the catalysis of concentrated sulfuric acid to produce triacetin and water. To improve reaction efficiency, glacial acetic acid is usually used in excess, and a dehydrating agent is used to remove the generated water, promoting the reaction towards the formation of triacetin. However, existing reaction apparatus is prone to clogging the reactor with triacetin, leading to uneven contact between triacetin and the catalyst, thus affecting the reaction rate.

[0029] 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.
[0030] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a triacetin anti-accumulation esterification reaction device, including a reaction chamber 10, a motor 20, a rotating rod 1 30, a gear 301, a rotating rod 2 302, a rotating rod 303, a stirring rod 1 304, a stirring rod 2 305, a scraper 306, a receiving plate 307, a feed box 40, an observation plate 401, a pipe 402, an electromagnetic control valve 403, a magnet 1 404, a magnet 2 405, a pressure sensor 406, a sliding rod 407, and a float 408;
[0031] The esterification reaction apparatus for triacetin prevents raw materials from accumulating inside and improves stirring efficiency. The specific implementation method is as follows:
[0032] The reaction chamber 10 is a cylindrical shell with a semi-circular bottom, and a motor 20 is mounted on the surface of the reaction chamber 10. A feed box 40 is mounted on the surface of the reaction chamber 10. A rotating mechanism is provided inside the reaction chamber 10, and the rotating mechanism includes: a rotating rod 30 and a rotating rod 302 rotatably mounted inside the reaction chamber 10, with a stirring rod 304 connected to the surface of the rotating rod 30, a stirring rod 305 rotatably mounted to the surface of the rotating rod 302, and a rotating rod 303 rotatably mounted inside the reaction chamber 10, with a scraper 306 connected to the bottom of the rotating rod 303. The rotating rods 30, 30, 30, and 303 are... The end of 03 passes through the reaction chamber 10 and is connected to gear 301. The end of rotating rod 30 is connected to the output shaft of motor 20. A receiving plate 307 is installed on the inner wall of the reaction chamber 10. Rotating rod 30, rotating rod 2 302 and rotating rod 303 are all rotatably connected to the reaction chamber 10. The three gears 301 are meshed together. Stirring rod 1 304 and stirring rod 2 305 are symmetrically arranged inside the reaction chamber 10, and the positions of stirring rod 1 304 and stirring rod 2 305 are staggered. The bottom of scraper 306 is in contact with the surface of receiving plate 307, and scraper 306 and receiving plate 307 are slidably connected.
[0033] The raw materials are fed into the reaction chamber 10 through the opening. The motor 20 is started, and the motor 20 drives the rotating rod 30 to rotate. At this time, the rotating rod 30 drives the gear 301 on its surface to rotate, so that the three gears 301 are engaged with each other. The three gears 301 simultaneously drive the rotating rod 30, the rotating rod 302, and the rotating rod 303 to rotate. The rotating rod 30 drives the stirring rod 304 to rotate, and the rotating rod 302 drives the stirring rod 305 to rotate. Due to the meshing of the gears 301, the stirring rod 305 rotates in the opposite direction to the stirring rod 304. The stirring rod 305 and the stirring rod 304 simultaneously stir the inside, improving the stirring efficiency of the device. When the rotating rod 303 rotates, it drives the scraper 306 at the bottom to rotate. When the catalyst falls onto the surface of the receiving plate 307, the rotating rod 303 moves to the surface of the receiving plate 307 through the scraper 306, sweeping the catalyst off the surface of the receiving plate 307 and scattering the catalyst into the inside of the reaction chamber 10, improving the catalyst mixing efficiency.
[0034] The apparatus for the esterification reaction of triacetin facilitates the quantitative addition of the ester. The specific implementation method is as follows:
[0035] The feed box 40 has an internal moving structure, which includes: an observation plate 401 embedded in the surface of the feed box 40, and magnets 404 and 405 symmetrically attached to both sides of the observation plate 401. A pressure sensor 406 is connected to the surface of magnet 405. A pipe 402 is connected to the bottom of the feed box 40, and the end of the pipe 402 is inserted into the reaction chamber 10. An electromagnetic control valve 403 is installed on the pipe 402. A slide rod 407 is installed inside the feed box 40, and a float 408 is slidably mounted on the surface of the slide rod 407. Magnets 404 and 405 are magnetically connected. Magnets 404 and 405 are slidably connected to the observation plate 401. The surface of the observation plate 401 is marked with graduations. The slide rod 407 and the float 408 are slidably connected. The float 408 is positioned corresponding to the pressure sensor 406.
[0036] The handheld magnet 404 is moved, causing it to move magnet 405 via magnetic force. Magnets 404 and 405 slide along the surface of the observation plate 401 until magnet 404 reaches the mark where catalyst needs to be added. At this point, magnet 405 moves pressure sensor 406 to that mark. The movement of magnet 404 is then stopped, and catalyst is poured into the feed tank 40. The float 408 floats on the surface of the catalyst. As the catalyst level rises, the float 408 moves upward, sliding on the surface of the slide rod 407. When the top of the float 408 contacts the bottom of pressure sensor 406, it applies pressure. Pressure sensor 406 then opens the electromagnetic control valve 403 via the control device, allowing the catalyst from the feed tank 40 to enter the reaction tank 10 through pipe 402. The catalyst then falls onto the surface of the receiving plate 307. Simultaneously, pressure sensor 406 alerts the user that catalyst addition is complete via the control device.
[0037] Working principle: When using this triacetin anti-accumulation esterification reaction device, gears 301, rotating rod 2 302, rotating rod 303, stirring rod 1 304, and stirring rod 2 305 are set to prevent raw materials from accumulating inside and improve stirring efficiency. Magnets 1 404, Magnetics 2 405, pressure sensor 406, slide rod 407, and float 408 are set to facilitate quantitative addition and increase overall practicality.
