Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of biodegradable polyester material production, and in particular to a controllable polymerization device for biodegradable polyester materials. Background Technology

[0002] Polyhydroxycarboxylic acid esters (PHAS) are a class of biocompatible and biodegradable polymers with hydroxycarboxylic acid esters as their structural cycling units. They are mainly used in pharmaceuticals such as drug capsules, surgical sutures, and artificial bones, and as a substitute for non-biodegradable polyolefin plastics.

[0003] A search revealed patent publication number CN101205297, which discloses an enzyme-catalyzed method for preparing polyester. This method uses β-hydroxycarboxylic acid esters as reactants and bio-enzymes such as No-vozyme 435, Lipase from thermomyces lanuginosus, PPL, or Lipase PS as catalysts to prepare polyester under very mild conditions. This invention utilizes a solvent-free reaction system, exhibits high bio-enzyme stability, and allows for multiple batches of continuous catalytic reactions. The use of scalable chemical monomers and engineered bio-enzymes as catalysts significantly reduces product costs.

[0004] While existing technologies can achieve certain reactions of biodegradable polyester materials, they suffer from drawbacks: they lack efficient and rapid separation of solid and liquid substances and controllable feed adjustment. In view of this, we propose a controllable polymerization device for biodegradable polyester materials, which solves the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the background art by proposing a controllable polymerization device for biodegradable polyester materials.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model: A controllable polymerization device for biodegradable polyester materials, comprising a box and a rotating wheel, wherein the rotating wheel is provided inside the box, a retainer is provided at the upper end of the rotating wheel, and a series of through holes arranged in a ring array are provided in the upper half of the rotating wheel, a water pump is provided on one outer wall of the box, a transmission pipe is provided for the water pump in the inner area of ​​the box, a negative pressure machine is provided on the other outer wall of the box, a heater is provided at the lower end of the negative pressure machine, and a rotary valve is provided at the bottom of the box;

[0007] When using this device, the substances to be reacted can be added into the chamber through inlet 1. The substances will fall directly into the rotor. Then, catalytic enzymes can be added periodically through inlet 2. Under the control of negative pressure by the negative pressure machine and temperature by the heater, the motor starts to drive the rotor to rotate, achieving a centrifugal stirring effect on the materials. Initially, the rotation speed is slow during the reaction stage, only serving to achieve uniform mixing. After a certain period of time, sediment will appear in the solution. At this time, the motor speed can be adjusted to increase the rotor speed. Under the action of centrifugal force, the liquid will flow out from the through hole at the top of the rotor and fall into the bottom of the chamber (located outside the rotor). Then, the particles will be retained inside the rotor by the action of the limiting ring. After the centrifugation is completed, the rotary valve is opened, and the solid sediment particles are discharged from the outlet. The liquid solvent can be discharged and collected from the transfer pipe with the help of the water pump. This device has the function of convenient and efficient separation of packing materials for the polymerization reaction of biodegradable polyester materials, and has high practicality.

[0008] Preferably, the rotary valve has a discharge port at its lower end, and the discharge port is designed to be inclined. The discharge port is used to discharge solid substances. The inclined design of the discharge port facilitates the smooth discharge of solid sediment and reduces the risk of blockage.

[0009] Preferably, the upper part of the box is provided with a top cover, one side of the top cover is provided with a feed inlet, and the other side of the feed inlet is provided with a second feed inlet. The two feed inlets can be used to add reactants and catalysts respectively, avoiding premature reaction caused by premixing and improving the controllability of the reaction.

[0010] Preferably, a motor is provided in the middle of the upper end of the box, and a pressure detector is provided on one side of the motor. The output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the rotation center of the upper end of the fixed frame set inside the wheel. The motor drives the wheel to achieve precise speed regulation and adapt to different needs of mixing and centrifugal separation.

[0011] Preferably, the lower end of the wheel is provided with a sealed bearing in contact with the housing, the surface of the cage is provided with two through holes arranged in a ring array, and the inner ring of the cage is provided with a limiting ring. The sealed bearing reduces the risk of friction and leakage; the limiting ring works in concert.

[0012] Preferably, a controller is provided on one outer wall of the chamber, and a bracket is provided at the lower end of the chamber. A base is fixed at the lower end of the bracket. The controller integrates and regulates temperature, rotation speed and negative pressure parameters to achieve automated operation. The negative pressure of the reaction is controlled at 70 ng / g, and the temperature is controlled at around 50°C.

[0013] Preferably, the impeller has an inverted V-shaped design, and the gap between the transmission pipe and the bottom of the chamber is two centimeters. The inverted V-shaped impeller promotes the rapid ejection of liquid during centrifugal separation and reduces residue.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0015] I. This utility model achieves efficient polymerization and separation of biodegradable polyester materials through the coordinated design of rotary centrifugal separation, negative pressure control, heating temperature control and automatic control system.

[0016] Second, based on the first beneficial effect, its split-type feed inlet, inclined discharge outlet, and sealing structure optimize the reaction process, while the gas pressure detection and controller improve operational accuracy and safety. The overall structure integrates mixing, reaction, and separation functions, offering advantages such as high production efficiency, high product purity, and convenient operation.

[0017] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

At this time, the speed of motor 8 can be adjusted to increase the rotation speed of rotor 13. Under the action of centrifugal force, the liquid will flow out from the through hole 14 at the top of rotor 13 and fall into the bottom of chamber 1 (located outside rotor 13). Then, the particles will be kept inside rotor 13 under the action of limiting ring 21. After the centrifugation is completed, the rotary valve 16 is opened, and the solid precipitated particles are discharged from outlet 3. The liquid solvent can be discharged and collected from the transfer pipe 20 in conjunction with water pump 6.

The output shaft of the motor 8 is fixedly connected to the rotation center of the upper end of the fixed frame 18 located inside the rotating wheel 13. The motor 8 drives the rotating wheel 13 to achieve precise speed regulation to adapt to different needs of mixing and centrifugal separation. The pressure detector 10 monitors the reaction environment in real time to ensure stable negative pressure conditions and improve reaction safety.

[0037] A sealed bearing 17 is provided at the lower end of the rotor 13 in contact with the housing 1. The surface of the retainer 15 has through holes 19 arranged in a ring array. A limiting ring 21 is provided in the inner ring of the retainer 15. The sealed bearing 17 reduces the risk of friction and leakage. The limiting ring 21 works together to optimize the liquid separation path and fix solid particles, thereby improving the separation effect. The through holes 19 can prevent solid particles from entering the bottom of the housing 1.
