In the preparation and production process of polycarboxylate superplasticizer, it is usually necessary to use a corresponding reaction vessel to stir and mix the raw materials.

[0003] However, during the raw material mixing process, factors such as grinding aids, alkali content, and fineness in cement can generate a large number of air bubbles. Insufficient mixing can also lead to uneven dispersion of powder suspended in water, resulting in air bubbles. These air bubbles reduce the quality of the water-reducing agent, causing its performance to be unstable. Furthermore, excessive air bubbles can cause abnormal pressure increases inside the reactor, leading to safety accidents such as agglomeration and material overflow. Therefore, a reaction device for preparing polycarboxylate superplasticizers is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Furthermore, excessive bubbles can cause abnormal pressure increases within the reactor, leading to safety accidents such as agglomeration and material overflow. This invention provides a reaction apparatus for preparing polycarboxylate superplasticizers. The stirring mechanism thoroughly stirs the raw materials, ensuring uniform dispersion of suspended powder in water and preventing bubble formation, thereby improving the quality and performance stability of the superplasticizer. The exhaust pipe and valve promptly discharge gases generated during the reaction, preventing abnormal pressure increases within the reactor and avoiding safety accidents such as agglomeration and material overflow, thus ensuring production safety.

[0020] This utility model discloses a reaction apparatus for preparing polycarboxylate superplasticizer. The reaction apparatus mainly includes a support base 1, a reaction vessel 2, a cover 3, a stirring mechanism 4, a feed pipe 5, an exhaust pipe 6, an exhaust valve 7, a discharge pipe 8, a solenoid valve 9, and a controller 10. The reaction vessel 2 is installed on the top of the support base 1. The cover 3 is detachably installed on the top of the reaction vessel 2 by fastening bolts.

An exhaust valve 7 is installed on the exhaust pipe 6. The feed pipe 5 and the exhaust pipe 6 are connected to the interior of the reaction vessel 2. The discharge pipe 8 is installed at the bottom of the reaction vessel 2 and is connected to the interior of the reaction vessel 2. The solenoid valve 9 is installed on the discharge pipe 8. A shell 21 is provided on the outer wall of the reaction vessel 2. The controller 10 is installed on the side wall of the shell 21. The stirring mechanism 4, the exhaust valve 7, the solenoid valve 9, and the controller 10 are electrically connected.

[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the top of the cap 3 is equipped with an additive tube 11 for adding defoamer, and the additive tube 11 is connected to the inside of the reactor 2. According to process requirements, defoamer can be pre-injected through the additive tube 11 at the top of the cap 3, or left to be added dynamically later to deal with sudden bubble problems.

[0022] like Figure 5 As shown, a cavity sandwich is formed between the outer shell 21 and the reactor 2. A cooling pipe 12 is installed inside the cavity sandwich. A temperature sensor 13 and a pressure sensor 14 are installed inside the reactor 2. The temperature sensor 13 and the pressure sensor 14 are electrically connected to the controller 10.

[0023] like Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, the stirring mechanism 4 includes a rotating shaft 41, a motor 42, stirring blades 43, a spiral stirring blade 44, and a stirring paddle 45. The rotating shaft 41 is rotatably mounted on the cover 3 and located inside the reactor 2. The motor 42 is mounted on the top of the cover 3 and is connected to the rotating shaft 41 via a transmission. The stirring blades 43 are mounted on the rotating shaft 41 at equal intervals. The spiral stirring blades 44 are mounted on the rotating shaft 41. The stirring paddle 45 is mounted at the bottom of the rotating shaft 41.

The controller 10 starts the motor 42, which drives the rotating shaft 41 to rotate the stirring blades 43, the spiral stirring blades 44, and the bottom stirring paddle 45 synchronously, forming multi-dimensional mixing. The equally spaced stirring blades 43 shear the material in the middle and upper layers, breaking up powder agglomerations. The spiral stirring blades 44 generate downward vortices, pushing bubbles from the liquid surface to the bottom and accelerating their collapse. The stirring paddle 45 strongly disturbs the deposited powder, preventing agglomeration.

[0024] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the top of the cap 3 is provided with hooks 31 at equal intervals; the hooks 31 are designed to facilitate the removal of the cap 3, and can be lifted out of the vessel in conjunction with the stirring mechanism 4, making it convenient for thorough cleaning or replacement of parts.

[0025] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the cover 3 is provided with a transparent observation window 32; the operator can monitor the mixing state of the material through the transparent observation window 32, adjust the stirring parameters in a timely manner, and observe whether there are bubbles accumulating.

[0026] Work process:

[0027] The raw materials for preparing polycarboxylate superplasticizer are added to reactor 2 through feed pipe 5. The feeding situation inside reactor 2 can be observed through transparent observation window 32. The operator starts motor 42 through controller. Motor 42 drives shaft 41 to rotate through transmission connection. Stirring blades 43, spiral stirring blades 44 and stirring paddle 45 on shaft 41 start to stir the raw materials. The function of stirring blade 43 is to fully mix the raw materials in the horizontal direction. The function of spiral stirring blade 44 is to form a circulation flow of raw materials in the vertical direction to further improve the mixing effect. The function of stirring paddle 45 is to enhance the stirring of raw materials at the bottom and prevent sedimentation. This stirring method can make the raw materials fully and evenly mixed, reducing the problem of bubbles or uneven dispersion of powder due to insufficient stirring. During the stirring process, the raw materials undergo chemical reaction to generate polycarboxylate superplasticizer. The exhaust valve 7 on exhaust pipe 6 is intelligently controlled by controller 10. When pressure sensor 14 detects abnormal pressure inside reactor 2, exhaust valve 7 is automatically opened to release excess gas and avoid sudden pressure rise that may cause explosive polymerization. Temperature sensor 13 monitors the temperature inside reactor 2 in real time and transmits the temperature signal to controller 10. If the temperature If the temperature is too high, the controller 10 controls the operation of the cooling pipe 12 to reduce the internal temperature of the reactor 2 through heat exchange between the cooling pipe 12 and the reactor 2, so as to maintain the internal temperature of the reactor 2 within a suitable range. If too many bubbles are generated during the reaction, defoamer can be added to the reactor 2 through the additive pipe 11. The role of the defoamer is to eliminate bubbles and improve the quality of the water-reducing agent. After the reaction is completed, the solenoid valve 9 on the discharge pipe 8 is opened to discharge the prepared polycarboxylate water-reducing agent from the discharge pipe 8. The discharge speed can be adjusted by controlling the opening of the solenoid valve 9. After the reaction is completed, the power supply and all valves are turned off, the cover 3 is removed, and the inside of the reactor 2 is cleaned and maintained. After cleaning, the cover 3 is reinstalled for the next use. During the entire operation, the operator can monitor and adjust the stirring speed, temperature, discharge, etc. through the controller 10 to ensure the smooth progress of the reaction and the stability of product quality. At the same time, the situation inside the reactor can be observed at any time through the observation window so as to detect and deal with problems in a timely manner. This reaction device has the advantages of reasonable structure, convenient operation, and stable performance, and is suitable for large-scale production of polycarboxylate water-reducing agent.
