[0002] Trays are the main components of plate towers, used to bring two fluids into close contact and facilitate mass exchange between the two phases to separate components of liquid or gas mixtures. They are generally circular plates with many holes and often have parts to promote close contact between the two fluids. There are various structures, mainly including bubble cap trays, valve trays, and sieve trays.

[0003] Currently, the size of the holes on some tower plates is fixed, which means that the fluid flow rate cannot be adjusted according to the needs of the tower, affecting its practicality and failing to meet actual working requirements. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, this utility model provides an adjustable flow control tray, which solves the problem that the size of the holes in some current trays is fixed, and the flow rate of the fluid cannot be adjusted according to the needs of the tower, thus affecting its practicality.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an adjustable flow control tower plate, comprising a main tower plate, wherein a secondary tower plate is rotatably connected to the main tower plate, and insert plates are connected to both sides of the main tower plate and the secondary tower plate, and mounting plates are installed on both sides of the main tower plate and the secondary tower plate through the insert plates, wherein multiple first through holes are provided on both the main tower plate and the secondary tower plate, and a groove is provided below both the main tower plate and the secondary tower plate;

[0006] Both the main tower plate and the secondary tower plate have working slots inside. A fixed plate is connected to the working slot. A motor is installed on the fixed plate. The output shaft of the motor is connected to a threaded rod. A moving rod is threaded onto the threaded rod. A moving plate is connected to one end of the moving rod. Multiple second through holes are opened on the moving plate. Connecting strips are connected to both sides of the moving plate.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the mounting plate has a slot, the mounting plate has a first threaded hole, the insert plate is inserted into the slot, and the insert plate has a second threaded hole, the first threaded hole and the second threaded hole are the same size and correspond to each other.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the main tower plate, the secondary tower plate, and the mounting plate are all provided with mounting holes, and a float valve is slidably connected in the first through hole.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a fixing block is connected to the main tower plate, a connecting rod is connected between the two fixing blocks, a connecting sleeve is connected to the secondary tower plate, and the connecting sleeve is rotatably connected to the connecting rod.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the movable plate slides within the groove, and sliding grooves are provided on the groove walls on both sides of the groove; the connecting strip is L-shaped and slidably connected to the sliding grooves on both sides of the groove.

A limiting sleeve is installed on one side of the working groove, and the movable rod is slidably connected to the limiting sleeve.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This adjustable flow control tower plate, by setting up a motor, threaded rod, moving rod, moving plate, groove, first through hole and second through hole, allows the operator to start the motor and rotate the threaded rod, which in turn drives the moving rod to move. This causes the moving rod to push the moving plate to slide in the groove. As the moving plate moves, the first through hole and the second through hole gradually become misaligned, causing the first through hole to be blocked by the moving plate. This changes the size of the first through hole to regulate the flow rate of the fluid through it, thus improving its practicality.

[0014] 2. This adjustable flow control tray, through the setting of a connecting sleeve, connecting rod, insert plate, slot, mounting plate, first threaded hole and second threaded hole, allows the operator to bend the main tray and auxiliary tray by rotating the connecting sleeve on the connecting rod, reducing the overall volume and making it easier for the operator to store and transport. After unfolding the main tray and auxiliary tray, the insert plate is inserted into the slot, and bolts are screwed into the first threaded hole and second threaded hole to fix the mounting plate to both sides of the main tray and auxiliary tray. The operation is simple and improves the assembly efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0021] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an adjustable flow control tower plate, including a main tower plate 1, a secondary tower plate 2 rotatably connected to the main tower plate 1, and insert plates 3 connected to both sides of the main tower plate 1 and the secondary tower plate 2. Mounting plates 4 are installed on both sides of the main tower plate 1 and the secondary tower plate 2 through the insert plates 3. The mounting plates 4 have slots 15 and first threaded holes 16. The insert plates 3 are inserted into the slots 15. The insert plates 3 have second threaded holes 17. The first threaded holes 16 and the second threaded holes 17 are the same size and correspond to each other. When the insert plates 3 are inserted into the slots 15, the first threaded holes 16 and the second threaded holes 17 will align with each other, thereby facilitating the workers to screw in the bolts and improving assembly efficiency.

[0022] Multiple first through holes 5 are provided on both the main tower plate 1 and the secondary tower plate 2. Mounting holes 18 are provided on the main tower plate 1, the secondary tower plate 2 and the mounting plate 4. A float valve 19 is slidably connected in the first through hole 5. When the fluid flows from bottom to top, the float valve 19 will be pushed and slide upward, thereby opening the first through hole 5 to allow the fluid to pass through.

[0023] Both the main tray 1 and the secondary tray 2 have grooves 6 below them, and both the main tray 1 and the secondary tray 2 have working grooves 7 inside. The main tray 1 is connected to a fixing block 20, and a connecting rod 21 is connected between the two fixing blocks 20. The secondary tray 2 is connected to a connecting sleeve 22, which is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 21. Through the rotatable connection between the connecting sleeve 22 and the connecting rod 21, the operator can rotate the main tray 1 and the secondary tray 2, thereby bending them to facilitate the operator's movement and storage.

[0024] A fixed plate 8 is connected inside the working groove 7. A motor 9 is installed on the fixed plate 8. A threaded rod 10 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 9. A moving rod 11 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 10. A limit bar 23 is connected to the moving rod 11. There are four limit bars 23 evenly distributed in a centrally symmetrical manner. A limit sleeve 24 is installed on one side of the working groove 7. The moving rod 11 is slidably connected to the limit sleeve 24. When the moving rod 11 slides inside the limit sleeve 24, the limit bar 23 will restrict the movement of the moving rod 11 to prevent the moving rod 11 from rotating with the threaded rod 10.

[0025] One end of the moving rod 11 is connected to a moving plate 12. The moving plate 12 has multiple second through holes 13. Connecting strips 14 are connected to both sides of the moving plate 12. The moving plate 12 slides in the groove 6. Sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the groove 6. The connecting strips 14 are L-shaped and slide in the sliding grooves on both sides of the groove 6. When the moving rod 11 pushes the moving plate 12 to move in the groove 6, the connecting strips 14 on both sides of the moving plate 12 will slide in the sliding grooves on both sides of the groove 6, thereby guiding the movement of the moving plate 12 and preventing the moving plate 12 from tilting during movement.

[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0027] The main tower plate 1 and the secondary tower plate 2 are unfolded by rotating the connecting sleeve 22 on the connecting rod 21. Then, the insert plate 3 is inserted into the slot 15. At this time, the first threaded hole 16 and the second threaded hole 17 will be aligned with each other, which makes it convenient for the operator to screw in the bolts and fix the mounting plate 4 on both sides of the main tower plate 1 and the secondary tower plate 2, and prevent the main tower plate 1 and the secondary tower plate 2 from being accidentally bent. The operator can start the motor 9 to rotate the threaded rod 10, which drives the moving rod 11 to move. The moving rod 11 pushes the moving plate 12 to slide in the groove 6. As the moving plate 12 moves, the first through hole 5 and the second through hole 13 will gradually become misaligned, so that the moving plate 12 can block the first through hole 5, thereby changing the size of the first through hole 5 to adjust the flow rate of the fluid through the first through hole 5.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] The preferred embodiments of this patent have been described in detail above. However, this patent is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this patent.
