Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of triacetylglycerol production technology, and in particular to a triacetylglycerol storage tank. Background Technology

[0002] Glyceryl acetate is a colorless and odorless oily liquid that can be used to make adhesives for cigarette filters, as well as in cosmetics, casting, and pharmaceuticals. Refined glyceryl triacetate needs to be stored in a sealed container in a cool, dry place to prevent oxidation, heat, moisture, direct sunlight, and rain. During storage and transportation, it should be kept away from fire and heat sources and should not be transported with other toxic substances.

[0003] Announcement No. CN221586618U discloses a storage device for finished triacetylglycerol, comprising a storage tank 1 and a support 2. The storage tank 1 is a longitudinally hollow cylindrical structure, mounted on the support 2. A top cover 3 is provided on the top of the storage tank 1, and a feed pipe 4 extending to the lower part of the storage tank 1 is provided at the top of the top cover 3. A feed valve 5 is provided on the upper part of the feed pipe 4, so that the feed starts from the bottom of the storage tank 1, avoiding the problem of air splashing when feeding from top to bottom; a temperature sensor 6 is also provided on the top cover 3.

[0004] The aforementioned triacetin storage device features a funnel-shaped bottom for the storage tank, integrally formed with the discharge pipe. This facilitates triacetin discharge. A nano-superhydrophobic and oleophobic coating is applied to the concave bottom of the storage tank and the inner wall of the discharge pipe. The triacetin in the upper part of the tank falls to the concave bottom due to the floating plate and gravity. The triacetin at the concave bottom and the discharge pipe does not adhere to the inner surface due to the nano-superhydrophobic and oleophobic coating, allowing for smoother discharge. However, this device is inconvenient for temperature regulation of the triacetin, making it unsuitable for extreme environments or temperature-sensitive storage requirements. This may lead to deterioration of the triacetin due to unsuitable temperatures. Furthermore, during long-term storage, triacetin is prone to stratification and precipitation, affecting material uniformity and posing quality risks for subsequent use. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a triacetylglycerol storage tank.

[0006] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution: a triacetylglycerol storage tank, comprising a storage tank, a feed pipe fixedly connected to the top of the storage tank, a temperature sensor fixedly connected to the top of the storage tank, an exhaust balance valve fixedly connected to the top of the storage tank, a stirring device installed inside the storage tank, an adjusting device installed on the left side of the storage tank, a support rod fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage tank, and a discharge pipe fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage tank; the storage tank includes an outer layer, and an inner plate fixedly connected inside the outer layer.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above solution, a water storage layer is provided between the outer layer and the inner plate.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above solution, the number of support rods is set to four, and the four support rods are evenly distributed symmetrically around the center of the bottom of the storage tank.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above solution, the stirring device includes a drive motor, the output end of which is fixedly connected to a rotating rod, and the surface of the rotating rod is fixedly connected to a stirring rod.

[0010] The above technical solution allows the stirring rod to directly agitate the material, generating fluid motion through rotation, thus preventing material stratification, sedimentation, or uneven local temperature.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above solution, the drive motor is located at the top of the storage tank, and the bottom of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the top of the storage tank.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above solution, the regulating device includes a water storage tank, a water pump is fixedly connected to the right side of the water storage tank, an inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the right side of the water pump, and an outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the right side of the water storage tank. The inlet pipe and the outlet pipe are connected to the water storage layer.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above solution, the water storage tank is located on the left side of the storage tank, and the top of the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe are fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage tank.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This invention incorporates a water pump, allowing operators to flexibly inject cold or hot water through the inlet at the top of the storage tank. Upon pump activation, water from the storage tank is continuously pumped through the inlet pipe into the water storage layer between the outer and inner plates of the storage tank, facilitating efficient heat exchange with the material inside and achieving heating or cooling. The water, after heat exchange, flows back to the storage tank through the outlet pipe and is discharged from the outlet on the left side. This circulation mechanism precisely regulates the temperature, ensuring that triacetin is always stored at the ideal temperature.

[0016] This invention, by setting up a stirring rod and driving a motor to rotate the rotating rod and stirring rod, can continuously and evenly stir the material, effectively preventing triacetin from stratifying or settling during storage, ensuring uniform and stable material quality, and providing high-quality raw materials for subsequent production.

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0025] Please combine Figure 1-5 This embodiment exemplarily illustrates a triacetylglycerol storage tank, including a storage tank 1. A feed pipe 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the storage tank 1, a temperature sensor 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the storage tank 1, an exhaust balance valve 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the storage tank 1, a stirring device 5 is provided inside the storage tank 1, an adjusting device 6 is provided on the left side of the storage tank 1, a support rod 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage tank 1, and a discharge pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage tank 1. Material is injected into the storage tank 1 through the top feed pipe 2. During feeding, air inside the tank is discharged through the exhaust balance valve 4 to maintain stable air pressure. The top temperature sensor 3 monitors the internal material temperature in real time. Four centrally symmetrically distributed support rods 7 firmly support the storage tank 1. The stored material is finally discharged from the bottom discharge pipe 8. The storage tank 1 includes an outer layer 11, and an inner plate 12 is fixedly connected inside the outer layer 11.

[0026] Through the above technical solution, the inner plate 12 directly contacts the triacetin material and is made of corrosion-resistant material to ensure that the purity of the material is not contaminated. The temperature sensor 3 (commercially available) monitors the temperature of the material inside the tank in real time and transmits the data to the regulating device 6 to provide real-time feedback for temperature regulation. The exhaust balance valve 4 balances the air pressure inside the tank and automatically discharges air from the tank during feeding to avoid tank deformation or feeding obstruction due to excessive air pressure.

[0027] In this embodiment, a water storage layer is provided between the outer layer 11 and the inner plate 12. The water storage layer contains circulating cold or hot water, which heats or cools the material in the tank through heat exchange to maintain a stable temperature.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the stirring device 5 includes a drive motor 51, which is located at the top of the storage tank 1. The bottom of the drive motor 51 is fixedly connected to the top of the storage tank 1. A rotating rod 52 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 51. A stirring rod 53 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod 52. When the drive motor 51 is started, it drives the rotating rod 52 and the stirring rod 53 to rotate, so that the material is kept evenly mixed and prevents stratification or sedimentation.

[0029] The regulating device 6 includes a water storage tank 61. A water pump 62 is fixedly connected to the right side of the water storage tank 61. An inlet pipe 63 is fixedly connected to the right side of the water pump 62. An outlet pipe 64 is fixedly connected to the right side of the water storage tank 61. When the temperature sensor 3 indicates that the material temperature needs to be adjusted, cold or hot water is added through the water inlet at the top of the water storage tank 61. Then, the water pump 62 pumps the water in the water storage tank 61 into the water storage layer through the inlet pipe 63 to heat or cool the material. The water after heat exchange flows back to the water storage tank 61 through the outlet pipe 64 and is discharged from the outlet on the left side of the water storage tank 61, ensuring that the material is at a suitable storage temperature.

[0030] In this embodiment, the water storage tank 61 is located on the left side of the storage tank 1. The tops of the inlet pipe 63 and the outlet pipe 64 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage tank 1, and the inlet pipe 63 and the outlet pipe 64 communicate with the water storage layer. Through the above technical solution, the water pump drives the circulating water to flow, pumping the water in the water storage tank into the water storage layer through the inlet pipe, completing heat exchange, and then returning through the outlet pipe. Power matching ensures water flow rate and heat exchange efficiency, supporting continuous or intermittent operation.

[0031] The implementation principle of the triacetylglycerol storage tank in this embodiment is as follows: Material is injected into storage tank 1 through the top feed pipe 2. During feeding, air inside the tank is discharged through the exhaust balance valve 4 to maintain stable air pressure. The top temperature sensor 3 monitors the internal material temperature in real time. The drive motor 51 starts, driving the rotating rod 52 and stirring rod 53 to rotate, ensuring uniform mixing of the material and preventing stratification or sedimentation. Storage tank 1 consists of an outer layer 11 and an inner plate 12. The water storage layer between them allows for temperature regulation. When the temperature sensor 3 indicates that the material temperature needs adjustment, cold or hot water is added through the top inlet of the water tank 61. Then, the water pump 62 pumps the water from the water tank 61 into the water storage layer through the inlet pipe 63 to heat or cool the material. The water after heat exchange flows back to the water tank 61 through the outlet pipe 64 and is discharged from the outlet on the left side of the water tank 61, ensuring the material is at a suitable storage temperature. Four centrally symmetrically distributed support rods 7 firmly support storage tank 1. The stored material is finally discharged from the bottom discharge pipe 8.

[0032] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
