Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of distillation processing technology, and in particular to a biodiesel distillation device. Background Technology
[0002] Biodiesel refers to fatty acid methyl esters or ethyl esters formed by esterification of vegetable oil, animal oil, waste oil, or microbial oil with methanol or ethanol, and is a typical "green energy". To improve the purity of biodiesel, distillation is necessary. However, existing distillation equipment suffers from impurities in the biodiesel, which adhere to the tank walls or settle at the bottom, affecting distillation. Therefore, distillation equipment is designed with cleaning structures; however, because the distillation tank is funnel-shaped, there are blind spots for cleaning, resulting in generally poor cleaning effectiveness.
[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent document (authorization announcement number CN220550146U) specifying a biodiesel distillation apparatus, comprising: a distillation tank with a drain pipe connected to its bottom, and an internal stirring mechanism; the stirring mechanism includes a motor, a stirring shaft, and a connecting frame, with the motor fixedly mounted on the top of the distillation tank, a first support rod connected to the outer side of the stirring shaft, a connecting rod at the connection between the first and second support rods, and a connecting frame connected to the top of the cleaning rod. This biodiesel distillation apparatus can stir the distillation tank, facilitating uniform heating and evaporation of the biodiesel, and also allows for easy cleaning of the tank, simplifying use and increasing the travel distance of the biodiesel vapor for easier condensation and collection. While the distillation apparatus incorporates a cleaning structure, the funnel-shaped shape of the distillation tank creates cleaning dead zones, resulting in only moderate cleaning effectiveness. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a biodiesel distillation apparatus to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a biodiesel distillation apparatus, comprising:
[0006] Distillation tanks are used to store biodiesel;
[0007] A rotary motor is mounted on the top of the distillation tank via a heat-insulated motor base. The output shaft of the rotary motor passes through the distillation tank and is connected to a rotating rod. The outer periphery of the rotating rod is connected to an auger and multiple stirring blades. The multiple stirring blades are connected to a U-shaped processing plate. A U-shaped rubber scraper adapted to the distillation tank is glued to the outer periphery of the processing plate.
[0008] The insulated barrel is set on the outer periphery of the distillation barrel. Multiple heating tubes for distillation heating are installed on the outer periphery of the distillation barrel. A discharge pipe with a solenoid valve is connected to the side of the distillation barrel. The distillation barrel is also connected to a condenser assembly that runs through the insulated barrel.
[0009] A counterweight plate is located below the insulation barrel. A vertical support plate and two hydraulic rods are fixedly connected to the top of the counterweight plate. The moving parts of the two hydraulic rods are connected to pulleys for supporting the insulation barrel. A lifting lug is connected to the bottom of the insulation barrel. The lifting lug is rotatably connected to the vertical support plate through a rotating shaft.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the insulated barrel is connected and fixed to the distillation barrel by multiple connecting rods, and the top of the insulated barrel is connected to a vent pipe with a solenoid valve.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the condensation assembly includes:
[0012] The cold water tank is tilted and fixed to the heat-insulating tank by a heat-insulating rod.
[0013] The guide tube is connected to the top of the distillation tank and extends through the cold water tank.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment, the cold water tank contains water for heat conduction, and multiple condensers are installed on the inner wall of the cold water tank.
[0015] As a preferred embodiment, the top of the cold water tank is connected to a water pipe equipped with a solenoid valve.
[0016] As a preferred embodiment, the end of the discharge pipe extends through the insulation barrel to the outside of the insulation barrel, and a thermometer is installed on the side of the insulation barrel.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0018] Because the distillation tank of this biodiesel distillation device is not funnel-shaped, the processing plate and rubber scraper can completely clean the inner wall of the tank. Compared with the funnel-shaped storage structure, there are no dead corners in the cleaning and the cleaning effect is better.
[0019] When the biodiesel distillation device needs to be fed, the hydraulic rod extends and the pulley lifts the insulated barrel. The insulated barrel is tilted due to the vertical support plate, and the discharge pipe is at the lowest end, thus realizing the feeding of the distillation barrel.
[0020] This biodiesel distillation device has a heating element that heats the distillation tank, thereby indirectly distilling the biodiesel inside. The insulation tank provides insulation protection, reducing energy loss and improving energy utilization.
[0021] This biodiesel distillation unit can not only perform thorough cleaning, but also ensure complete feed dispensing. Attached Figure Description

[0045] Working principle
[0046] The biodiesel distillation device introduces the biodiesel to be distilled into the distillation tank 1 through the feed pipe, then closes the solenoid valve of the feed pipe and turns on the heating pipe 9 to heat the biodiesel in the distillation tank 1. The evaporated biodiesel flows out through the guide pipe 113 and is condensed by the cold water in the cold water tank 111.
