Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of auxiliary equipment for polyurethane production, specifically a preheating device for polyurethane production additives. Background Technology
[0002] Various additives are added during the polyurethane production process. These additives need to be preheated before use. Due to the special properties of some additives, they are not suitable for direct heating with a heater. Furthermore, if air is present inside the additives during heating, the additives are prone to react with oxygen in the air, which will affect the properties of the additives. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to overcome existing defects and provide a preheating device for polyurethane production additives. Heating oil is added to the heating chamber, and the heated oil circulates into the heating jacket to heat the additives inside the heating tank. The additives experience stable temperature rise and good heating effect. Furthermore, a nitrogen injection component is provided to introduce nitrogen into the top of the heating tank before heating, preventing the additives from reacting with oxygen in the air and maintaining their original properties after heating. Two heating tanks are provided, which can be used alternately to heat the additives, maintaining a stable supply of additives during polyurethane production. This effectively solves the problems in the prior art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a preheating device for polyurethane production additives, including a table frame, with two tank racks mounted on the top of the table frame, and further comprising:
[0005] The additive preheating and holding mechanism includes a heating tank, an internal observation component, a tank cover, an additive product outlet, and a discharge valve. A heating tank is installed on the top of each tank rack. An internal observation component is installed in the middle of the front side of the heating tank. A tank cover is installed on the opening at the top of the heating tank through a tank cover fixing device. An additive product outlet is provided at the center of the bottom of the heating tank, and a discharge valve is installed on the additive product outlet.
[0006] Additive addition component, installed on the can lid;
[0007] Nitrogen injection assembly, installed on the tank lid;
[0008] The stirring mechanism is installed in the middle of the tank lid;
[0009] The heating oil circulation heating mechanism is connected to the heating tank.
[0010] The table frame supports the tank rack, which keeps the heating tank away from the top of the table frame. This facilitates the placement of the additive product outlet and discharge valve at the bottom of the heating tank. The additive addition component allows for easy addition of the additive to be heated into the heating tank. Before heating, a nitrogen injection component introduces external nitrogen into the heating tank, helping to expel air from the top of the tank and reduce the oxygen content, preventing oxygen from affecting the properties of the additive. The heating oil circulation heating mechanism heats the tank, thereby heating the additives inside. During heating, a stirring mechanism agitates the additives, promoting uniform heating. The discharge valve opens, allowing the heated additives to exit through the additive product outlet. An internal observation component allows for monitoring the state of the additives within the heating tank during heating. A can lid fixing device secures the can lid to the top of the heating tank. When the heating tank needs to be opened, the can lid can be loosened and removed using the can lid fixing device.
[0011] Furthermore, the internal observation assembly includes a side pipe, a threaded sleeve, and a transparent observation window. One end of the side pipe is connected to the middle of the front side of the heating tank, and the other end of the side pipe is fitted with a transparent observation window via a threaded sleeve. The threaded sleeve is used to install the transparent observation window at the end of the side pipe, allowing observation of the state of the additives inside the heating tank through the transparent observation window and the interior of the side pipe.
[0012] Furthermore, the can lid fixing device includes a swing column moving assembly, a swing column, a fixing nut, a control ring, and grooves. Four grooves are arranged in a circular array on the outer periphery of the top of the heating tank. A notch is formed on the outer periphery of the can lid corresponding to the groove positions. The bottom end of the swing column is movably connected to the outer side of the heating tank at the bottom of each groove via the swing column moving assembly. The top end of the swing column passes through the corresponding groove and notch and is threadedly connected to the fixing nut. The top of the fixing nut is fixedly connected to the control ring. When the can lid needs to be removed, the control ring is used to loosen the fixing nut, causing it to move away from the upper edge of the can lid. The swing column is then moved outwards, disengaging from the groove and notch, allowing the can lid to be removed. When the can lid needs to be re-fixed, the swing column is swung towards the heating tank, returning to the groove and notch. The control ring is then used to tighten the fixing nut, pressing the bottom of the fixing nut against the upper edge of the can lid, thus re-fixing the can lid.
[0013] Furthermore, the swing column movable assembly includes a movable seat, a movable shaft, a limiting nut, and a collar. A movable seat is positioned at the bottom of each groove on the outer side of the heating tank. The movable seat is rotatably connected to the movable shaft, and two limiting nuts are threaded to both ends of the movable shaft. A collar is rotatably fitted onto the middle of the movable shaft, and the collar is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the swing column. The limiting nuts prevent the movable shaft from disengaging from the movable seat. The cooperation between the movable shaft and the collar allows the swing column to swing around the movable shaft, achieving the purpose of movable connection between the swing column and the heating tank.
[0014] Furthermore, the additive addition assembly includes an addition pipe, a pipe cap, and a clamp. The addition pipe is inserted through the top of the tank cap, and the pipe cap is installed at the top of the addition pipe via the clamp. When additives are not needed to be added through the addition pipe, the pipe cap is fixed to the top of the addition pipe with the clamp, thus sealing the top of the addition pipe. When additives need to be added, the pipe cap and clamp are removed, and the additives can be fed into the heating tank through the addition pipe.
[0015] Furthermore, the nitrogen injection assembly includes an injection vertical pipe, an addition horizontal pipe, and gas valves. The injection vertical pipe is inserted through the top of the tank cover, and the top of the injection vertical pipe is fixedly connected to the middle of the addition horizontal pipe. Two gas valves are installed at each end of the addition horizontal pipe. By opening the gas valves and connecting the end of the addition horizontal pipe to an external nitrogen tank, nitrogen from the external nitrogen tank can be introduced into the heating tank, reducing the air content at the top of the heating tank and preventing oxygen in the air from affecting the properties of the additives.
[0016] Furthermore, the heating oil circulation heating mechanism includes a heating jacket, an oil drain pipe, a liquid pump, a heating chamber, a heater, and an oil inlet pipe. The heating chamber is installed on the top of the table frame, and the heater is installed inside the heating chamber. A heating jacket is provided on the side wall of the heating tank. One end of the oil drain pipe is connected to the middle of the heating jacket, and the other end of the oil drain pipe is connected to the inlet of the liquid pump. The outlet of the liquid pump is connected to one side of the heating chamber, and the other side of the heating chamber is connected to one end of the oil inlet pipe. The other end of the oil inlet pipe is connected to the bottom of the heating jacket. Heating oil is filled into the heating chamber, and the heater heats the heating oil in the heating chamber. The liquid pump sends the heating oil from the heating jacket into the heating chamber through the oil drain pipe. As the amount of heating oil in the heating chamber increases, the increased heating oil is sent back into the heating jacket through the oil inlet pipe, thus realizing the circulation of heating oil. The temperature of the heating oil is used to heat the additives in the heating tank. The heating oil, as a heating medium, has stable heat conduction, providing stable heating of the additives and resulting in good heating effect.
[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this polyurethane production additive preheating device are:
