Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] 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.
[0023] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4An embodiment of this utility model provides an alkali filtration device for the production of natural 4-ethylguaiacol, comprising an alkali filtration device main cylinder 1, a control motor 2 9 installed at the bottom of the alkali filtration device main cylinder 1, a filter inner cylinder 10 installed at the output end of the control motor 2 9, a cylinder cover 2 installed at the top of the alkali filtration device main cylinder 1 by bolts, a feed pipe 4 and a control motor 3 installed at the top of the cylinder cover 2, the control motor 3 being located on one side of the feed pipe 4, a stirring roller 8 installed at the output end of the feed pipe 4, the stirring roller 8 being located inside the filter inner cylinder 10, a primary filter plate 5 movably installed on one side of the outer wall of the alkali filtration device main cylinder 1, the primary filter plate 5 being located between the feed pipe 4 and the filter inner cylinder 10;
[0024] A guide plate 13 is installed on one side of the inner wall of the main cylinder 1 of the alkali filtration device. The guide plate 13 is located between the primary filter plate 5 and the inner filter cylinder 10. A baffle 14 is installed on the bottom wall of the cylinder cover 2. An assembly groove 16 is opened on one side of the outer wall of the baffle 14. The assembly groove 16 is used to place the primary filter plate 5. A guide plate 25 is installed on one side of the outer wall of the baffle 14. The guide plate 25 is located below the assembly groove 16. The guide plate 25 is positioned corresponding to the guide plate 13.
[0025] Feed pipe 4 is used to connect to the feed conveying pipe. The conveying pipe is fixed to the flange on the feed pipe 4, and then the alkali solution to be filtered can be conveyed into the main cylinder 1 of the alkali filtration device. Under the filtration action of the primary filter plate 5, larger solid impurities and particles are removed from the alkali solution to protect the inner filter cylinder 10 from excessive clogging and extend the service life of the inner filter cylinder 10. The material filtered by the primary filter plate 5 will enter the inner filter cylinder 10 under the guidance of guide plate 13 and guide plate 15. Then, control motor 13 and control motor 29 are started, and control motor 29 drives the filter... The inner cylinder 10 rotates counterclockwise, while the control motor 3 drives the stirring roller 8 to stir clockwise. The stirring roller 8 ensures thorough mixing of the raw materials. The opposing rotation of the stirring roller 8 and the inner cylinder 10 enhances the overall filtration effect. Under pressure, the pure alkali solution passes through the inner cylinder 10, reaching the space between the inner cylinder 10 and the main cylinder 1 of the alkali filtration device, and enters the discharge pipe 6, flowing out of the main cylinder 1 to proceed to subsequent processes. Impurities are trapped inside the inner cylinder 10, thus separating the alkali solution from impurities and obtaining pure alkali solution for subsequent natural 4... - Ethyl guaiacol production involves pretreatment with primary filter plate 5 to remove most solid impurities, reducing the filtration load on filter inner cylinder 10, decreasing the clogging frequency and solid impurity throughput of filter inner cylinder 10, and extending the cleaning interval of filter inner cylinder 10. This improves the filtration efficiency of the main cylinder 1 of the alkali filtration unit for impurity treatment to a certain extent. Primary filter plate 5 can be directly extracted from the main cylinder 1 of the alkali filtration unit. After extraction, the positioning groove 19 on the new primary filter plate 5 is engaged with the positioning strip 18, and the primary filter plate 5 is pushed in until it is embedded in the assembly groove 16. Primary filter plate 5 is easy to install and disassemble, reducing downtime for cleaning.
[0026] Example 2, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 An embodiment of this utility model provides: an alkali filtration device for the production of natural 4-ethylguaiacol, wherein a self-lubricating component is embedded in the inside of the cylinder cover 2 and the bottom of the main cylinder 1 of the alkali filtration device. The self-lubricating component includes a groove 24 opened inside the cylinder cover 2, a miniature electric actuator 25 installed inside the groove 24, a sponge block 26 installed at the output end of the miniature electric actuator 25, an oil storage tank 20, an oil inlet 21 and an oil delivery channel 23 opened inside the cylinder cover 2, one end of the oil delivery channel 23 is connected to the oil storage tank 20, the other end of the oil delivery channel 23 is located above the sponge block 26, the bottom end of the oil inlet 21 is connected to the top of the oil storage tank 20, and a sealing plug 22 is installed inside the oil inlet 21, the sealing plug 22 is located on one side of the control motor 3;
[0027] During long-term operation, control motors 3 and 9 may experience rotational failures and wear due to insufficient lubrication. Lubricating oil is delivered to the oil reservoir 20, and then guided by the oil delivery channel 23, it flows to the sponge block 26, where it is absorbed and stored. Periodically, the micro electric actuator 25 pushes the sponge block 26 closer to the output end of control motor 3, lubricating both motors and forming an oil film on the contact surfaces. This significantly reduces the coefficient of friction between components and minimizes frictional damage. This process reduces wear and tear, extends the service life of control motor 3 and control motor 9, effectively prevents scratches and wear on the surfaces of control motor 3 and control motor 9 caused by metal shavings generated by friction, maintains the integrity and smoothness of the output components of control motor 3 and control motor 9, ensures the stability and reliability of motor output, enables smoother power transmission, reduces energy waste caused by component jamming or irregularities, and helps improve the response speed and control accuracy of the control motor. After lubrication, the micro electric push rod 25 shortens and retracts the sponge block 26 to below the oil delivery channel 23 to continue storing the dripping lubricating oil.

[0032] The limiting block 11 is locked in the limiting groove 12 to ensure the stability of the rotation of the inner filter cylinder 10. The guide block 17 is used to guide the filtered alkali solution to the discharge pipe 6, so that the alkali solution can flow out of the main cylinder 1 of the alkali filter device from the discharge pipe 6 and enter the subsequent process flow. The support leg 7 is used to support the entire main cylinder 1 of the alkali filter device to ensure that the main cylinder 1 of the alkali filter device can operate stably.
[0033] Working principle: When in use, first connect the power supply, then fix the cylinder cover 2 on the main cylinder 1 of the alkali filter device, and fix the conveying pipe on the flange on the feed pipe 4. Then, the alkali solution to be filtered can be conveyed into the main cylinder 1 of the alkali filter device.

Under the action of pressure, the pure alkali solution passes through the inner filter cylinder 10, reaches the space between the inner filter cylinder 10 and the main cylinder 1 of the alkali filter device, and enters the discharge pipe 6, flowing out of the main cylinder 1 of the alkali filter device to enter the subsequent process flow.
