[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to aid in understanding its content. Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in this invention are conventional methods; the raw materials and apparatus used, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-3 A raw material storage tank for the preparation of diethylene glycol monovinyl ether includes a tank body 1, an inlet pipe 2 on the upper end of the tank body 1, and an outlet 3 with a solenoid valve installed on the outer wall of the lower end of the tank body 1. The outer wall of the inlet pipe 2 is provided with a sealing mechanism, which includes a sleeve 201 fixedly connected to the upper end of the tank body 1 and located outside the inlet pipe 2. A slip ring 5 is slidably connected between the inlet pipe 2 and the sleeve 201. A first spring 6 located below the slip ring 5 is sleeved on the outer wall of the inlet pipe 2. A sealing cap 4 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the sleeve 201. A sealing ring 7 extending between the inlet pipe 2 and the sleeve 201 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the sealing cap 4. A first sealing ring 8 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the sealing ring 7. A pressure plate 10 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sealing ring 7. A sealing gasket 11 abutting against the upper end of the inlet pipe 2 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the pressure plate 10. A second spring 12 is fixedly connected between the lower end of the sealing cap 4 and the pressure plate 10.
[0021] In this embodiment: when the sealing cap 4 is tightened, the sealing ring 7 moves down with the sealing cap 4, and the first sealing ring 8 at its bottom is tightly pressed against the upper end face of the slip ring 5 to form a radial sealing interface. The slip ring 5 is pushed upward by the preload of the first spring 6, further strengthening the contact pressure of the first sealing ring 8, ensuring that the annular gap between the feed pipe 2 and the sleeve 201 is completely closed. During the pressing down of the sealing cap 4, the pressure plate 10, under the elastic force of the second spring 12, pushes the sealing gasket 11 to fit tightly against the upper opening edge of the feed pipe 2 to form an axial end face seal. This design can block the path of raw material vapor to escape upward through the feed pipe 2, and is especially suitable for volatile raw materials such as diethylene glycol monovinyl ether.
[0022] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the outer wall of the feed pipe 2 and the inner wall of the sleeve 201 are both fixedly connected with a second sealing ring 9.
[0023] In this embodiment, by fixing the second sealing ring 9 to both the outer wall of the feed pipe 2 and the inner wall of the sleeve 201, the sealing performance between the sealing ring 7 and the feed pipe 2 and the sleeve 201 is further maintained, ensuring the reliability and durability of the sealing mechanism.
[0024] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the inner wall of the sleeve 201 is provided with a plurality of first sliding grooves 13, the outer wall of the slip ring 5 is fixedly connected with a plurality of first sliders that match the first sliding grooves 13, the inner wall of the sealing ring 7 is provided with a plurality of second sliding grooves 14, and the outer wall of the pressure plate 10 is fixedly connected with a plurality of second sliders that match the second sliding grooves 14.
[0025] In this embodiment: the first slide groove 13 and the first slider facilitate the limiting of the slip ring 5 to prevent the slip ring 5 from rotating with the sealing ring 7; the second slide groove 14 and the second slider facilitate the limiting of the pressure plate 10 to prevent the pressure plate 10 from rotating with the sealing cover 4.
[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the tank body 1 includes an inner layer 101 and an outer layer 102, with a heat insulation layer 103 provided between the inner layer 101 and the outer layer 102. The inner layer 101 is made of stainless steel, the outer layer 102 is made of carbon steel, and the heat insulation layer 103 is made of polyurethane foam.
[0027] In this embodiment: by filling polyurethane foam between the inner layer 101 and the outer layer 102, a heat insulation layer 103 is formed, which facilitates maintaining a constant internal temperature of the tank 1.
[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a nitrogen inlet 15 is provided at the upper end of the tank body 1.
[0029] In this embodiment, the upper end of the nitrogen inlet 15 is connected to an external nitrogen generator via a flange. The nitrogen gas replaces the air inside the tank 1, reducing the oxygen content inside the tank and preventing the raw materials from oxidizing.
[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a circulating water coil 16 is provided inside the tank body 1.
[0031] In this embodiment, the two ends of the circulating water coil 16 are respectively connected to an external circulating temperature control device, which can adjust the internal temperature of the tank 1 to a set range.
[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a temperature sensor 17 is installed inside the tank body 1.
[0033] In this embodiment, the temperature sensor 17 facilitates real-time monitoring of the temperature inside the tank 1.
[0034] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: In use, the raw material is first introduced into the tank 1 through the feed pipe 2, and then nitrogen is introduced into the tank 1 through the nitrogen inlet 15. The air inside the tank 1 is discharged through the feed pipe 2. The nitrogen replaces the air inside the tank 1, reducing the oxygen content inside the tank and preventing the raw material from oxidizing. Then, the sealing cap 4 is tightened on the outer wall of the sleeve 201. When the sealing cap 4 is tightened, the sealing ring 7 moves down with the sealing cap 4. The first sealing ring 8 at its bottom is tightly pressed against the upper end face of the slip ring 5 to form a radial sealing interface. The slip ring 5 is pushed upward by the preload force of the first spring 6, further strengthening the contact pressure of the first sealing ring 8, ensuring that the annular gap between the feed pipe 2 and the sleeve 201 is completely closed. During the pressing down of the sealing cap 4, the pressure plate 10, under the elastic force of the second spring 12, pushes the sealing gasket 11 to fit tightly against the upper opening edge of the feed pipe 2 to form an axial end face seal. This design can block the path of raw material vapor escaping upward through feed pipe 2, and is especially suitable for volatile raw materials such as diethylene glycol monovinyl ether.
